if you're not a ninja your life is shit, you're either cannon fodder or some slaving peasant
not to mention the inconsistent technology
How exactly is any of that different than One Piece? I find OP to be a far more fascinating universe than Naruto, but both those complaints apply to both worlds.

op's technology is consistent from island to island, they're each a self-contained world in themselves
and the general populace seems to be well-off for the most part, we just tend to see them at the worst possible times (so that luffy can punch whatever's making them miserable)

4Kids pretty much ruined any chance of One Piece being really popular in America.
My roommates were talking about how cool it would be to live in the Naruto universe, and I said I would rather live in One Piece land. One of them was like "that show sucks, man", having only seen the terrible dub on CN. Maybe I'll remedy that one day...
It's an upward battle, but I've gotten two of my friends to start reading the manga. One's gotten kinda-sorta stuck in Skypeia, but with the absolute retardedness of last week's manga chapter for Naruto, he said he's going to take my word for it that it gets much better and push through Skypeia.
The other one is doing it as a deal where if he reads it and catches up, I'll give Negima a shot.
The things I do for you people
Negima's okay once you slog through the first few books where the guy had to pretend it was still a harem comedy.
Still plenty of inappropriate fanservice, but I get the feeling it's by executive mandate or something.

The Water 7 shipwrights disagree with you
Same goes for Skypeians
and Arabasta
and and and
Maybe my memory is a little fuzzy but I seem to recall Arabasta getting completely fucked over by a government agent, Skypeia is also screwed by the equivalent of the government, and Water 7 is probably the best place, but CP9 kind of ruins that. Sabaody archipelago shows that the world nobles can do pretty much whatever the fuck they want including slavery and killing anyone they choose. Robin's past shows that the WG is willing to wipe islands off the map to protect itself and what we've seen of most pirate crews is pretty bad as well. I'm not saying that everyone is fucked, but if you aren't part of one of the world powers you're at the mercy of them, which is pretty much identical to Naruto. This is in addition to most towns getting trashed by luffy and company.

crocodile was an independent actor, skypeia was being terrorized by someone completely divorced from authority (and reality), and the buster call is only used once every few decades, if that
all signs say that the world government isn't that oppressive so long as you stay the fuck away from the nobles, it's just that luffy and his crew are constantly tunneling into the most corrupted parts of it
They got screwed over by a master manipulator made of living sand, during a bloody Civil War.
Skypeians got fucked over by a God made of lightning. Lightning! The Shandian warriors were pretty boss, and if it wasn't for Enel and his intangibility they might have stood a chance.
People in Water 7 are rough, and could dish away pirates on a regular basis.
Shabony Archipelago is right next door to Marine Headquarters.
Doesn't the fact that these sort of people exist, and operate pretty much without reprisal unless another independant entity that happens to be both stronger and possessed of a sense of justice shows up... sorta prove his point that life there has problems?

the one piece world's far from idyllic
it's just not as shitty as naruto's world
Can you provide examples from the manga that show how shitty it is, because I'm seeing the exact same basic structure where if you aren't protected by someone with power, which in Naruto are ninjas and more likely one of the countries while in One Piece it's normally someone with a devil fruit or one of the major organizations, you're highly likely to get screwed over at least from the view point of the manga. I've already provided examples from OP and Naruto has an example from the previous manga arc and the only major difference I see is that in Naruto people actually die, which seems to be more of a choice by the author.
Godfather: Maybe the whole thing is overstated since I think Rust's original quote is exaggeration, but I'm failing to see how you dismissed anything since the basic person in OP or Naruto is fucked if he isn't protected and sometimes it doesn't even matter then.
Monday-Tuesday (Spoilers are released)...wall to wall spoilers. Shit gets real, predictions, etc. Dies down by late Thursday.
Thursday-Friday (Nothing) More speculation. Some people talking about the anime. Crazier speculation and general mechanics of the OP universe are discussed without ending.
Saturday Almost no traffic until the anime is released on the funi site around 10:00pm EST. Then people talk about the episode, the art style, and how many times they needed to restart the player.
Sunday-Until Spoilers Come Out Random bullshit theorizing. Nakama conversation is most likely to occur here, comparison to other anime/manga also common.

Your arguement doesn't hold enough weight.
Screw the intangibility, they would've kicked his ass if not for
his bullshit "I can restart my own heart even though I'm completely knocked out" ability.

Great idea, mediocre execution. Would like to see how Oda would draw up the strawhats/TF2 crossover. Strawhats/Star trek switcharoo would be neat too I think.

That picture fills me with a strange, undescribable joy.
I think it could only be better if Zoro was holding a shotgun in one arm, minigun in the other, and sandvich front and center.

So discussions of the precise mechanics by which one could drink a multiple-devil fruit smoothie are kosher then, good to know.
Not Z, just the original.
I cannot for the life of me get her to read this series, even though the entire thing is right up her alley.
I've pretty much given up.
There is no Z manga. The content in Z is still just part of "Dragonball" in the manga.

Yes, I know, it's just a hell of a lot easier to type than "that part right after the timeskip but not really since it happens when Raditz arrives."

and if you're a non-ranking inhabitant of soul society no one even knows what the hell you are really
better off? worse off? are you in purgatory or what? nobody knows!

What with his cigarette and spy-like escapades as Mr. Prince?
