    I spent earlier One Piece telling my partner (who had not seen/read as far as I had) that only two people in the show ever die (as of the end of Marineford which as far as I'd read a decade+ ago).

    Well uh we just finished Amazon Lily, and my partner is very excited for Luffy to go save Ace

    You want to immortalize her reaction in film? Well, unless you're very sneaky about where you place the camera, she'll know something is up and her reaction will not be completely genuine.

    The animation directors and stuff change a bunch, plus burn out happens. You see a definite pattern of some animation team does real good work and then after a two dozen episodes the wear and tear of making episodes over and over on a tight deadlines starts to show.

    Especially in the latter half of the currently adapted anime most of the anime looks not great. And also the pacing, which was already bad, becomes absolutely awful generally.

    There's a timeline where One Piece got an Anime with proper cours, pacing, and an excellent budget.

    We do not live in this timeline.

    Yeah, depending on your patience with the binge, the anime is kinda best view as the animated companion to the manga. Like if a chapter is 10/10, just find when it is adapted in the anime to watch and lately they've been 11/10 or in the case of anything directed by Megumi Ishitani $texas/10

    From what I understand the One Piece anime looks bad for a good long while and doesn't start shaping up again till around Whole Cake Island.

    I don't recall it ever getting better, just occasionally they'll have An Episode they spent more money and time on and looks pretty high quality. The first few episodes of the Wano arc were like that.

    imo it's most interesting when viewed in the contrast of all the series it's next to, but it's also genuinely funny and horrifying and has a heart

    This is a great description of Chainsaw Man, I just wanted to add that due to the qualities you described it sometimes feels like a Coen Brothers movie.

    There's a couple small fan projects out there that show the potential, but honestly I doubt it's a profitable enough idea that we'll ever see an official one. Even Dragon Ball Z Kai had clear profit issues, given how the Buu arc had way less "Kai-ification" than the earlier ones.

    This makes sense, as Fujimoto is a huge cinephile and you can see the movie influences in several chapters.

    Just off the top of my head:
    The Raimi Spiderman movies

    Last night on AniMenagerie:

    -- We met the world's deadliest hawk in JoJo's Bizarre Adventure
    -- We concluded the Calvary Battle in the U.A. Sports Festival Arc
    -- We followed Goku & Krillin through their 8 months of Turtle Hermit training

    Next week?

    The JoJo gang start their quest through Dracula's Dio's mansion, and the Dragon Ball boys officially begin the 21st annual World Martial Arts Tournament!!

    I don’t know where else this would be relevant but I just realized acen was this weekend and stumbled into twitter drama immediately. acen just tweeted that they're dropping their covid precautions the week of the show (and after saying they wouldn't) and no one can get a refund… so I guess maybe that won't be a yolo birthday activity

    The animation definitely gets better during whole cake, and has steadily improved during wano

    Also there are many fireworks factory fights that have happened

    Does One Piece anime still force each episode to correlate to a single manga chapter?

  • BahamutZEROBahamutZERO Registered User regular

    Yes, or even less since the anime is nearly weekly and the manga is more like 3/4 or 1/2 weeks per month in practice.

    Konbu Wakame is writing/drawing at least three ongoing manga right now, in addition to being a vtuber, and now a second of her manga will be getting an anime (the first being The Great Jahy Won't Be Defeated).

    It was announced today that My Recently Hired Maid is Suspicious is getting an anime. That one is a lot more slice of life with a lot less plot progression than Jahy, so I'm curious how it's going to turn out.

    I doubt her third manga will be getting an anime anytime soon. It's a yuri focused on boobs.

    There are more episodes of the anime than there are manga chapters

    Manga is still in the lead by ~30 chapters if my count is close.
