Re: One Piece 659 Discussion/ 660 Prediction Wow, more responses than I expected! Interesting, I did not know that "buh" was the same as "boo." Also, I can't believe I'm seriously discussing fart sound effects, haha! Also, that's a great picture and a strong piece of evidence for a...

Re: One Piece 659 Discussion/ 660 Prediction I don't want to make a prediction or anything, but for the people suspecting that the samurai body pieces are from more than one samurai, I think some significant evidence to support that theory would be the speech patterns (sorry if someone else...

Re: One Piece 659 Discussion/ 660 Prediction We have to remember that this is a story where a great number of characters are pirates. Except for a few exceptions, they're going to act like pirates. What's weird about Law isn't that he accepted a Shichibukai position, or that he sent 100 hearts...

Re: One Piece 658 Spoiler Discussion Interesting. Considering the idea of experiments and animal hybrids... my thoughts are leaning towards Moreau, as in The Island of Doctor Moreau, for "M." It definitely fits, and Oda makes references to literature now and then, so it's possible...

See, here's something I find interesting about Oda's art. The fact that it generates so much discussion! There are some who would say that alone make it a success. I like his artwork. I like it quite a lot. But as has been said many times in this thread, art is subjective and whether or not...

Re: One Piece 656 Discussion / 657 Prediction Fun chapter! I have a question, if anyone knows. The attack Zoro did that seemed to be an upgraded tora-gari... Does anyone have another translation for it? MangaStream's translation didn't seem right. Though It's not really my place to comment...

Re: One Piece 655 Discussion / 656 Prediction Yay! What a fun chapter! I haven't felt like posting comments in some time, but this chapter was too cool to ignore! So many continuity references! First, I get the impression that the island is supposed to be a winter island, but then Something...

Apparently it was announced at Jump Fiesta that Oda will be executive producer, and it will be coming out December 2012 :) There are Twitter announcments from Shonen Jump and Sakaki Hisashi. Note that there was apparently some confusion, it was incorrectly tweeted (I hate that word) that...

Something like this isn't really unexpected. I mean, after the last 3D movie, they already have a lot of the work that goes into the production of a computer animated film done. Characters are already modeled and rigged, sets and props are built and textured, etc. Even looking at the image, it...

Tokyo Game Show started this week. Here's a preview trailer for the game! Hopefully there will be a more official video posted soon. That said, TGS is still going, and there will apparently be more information released later in the week (17th-18th, or so I hear). Looks like what we...

Re: One Piece 623 Discussion / 624 Prediction Thread Wow. I'm not really sure what to say. What a great chapter! See, I'm not usually really big on the flashback chapters. They're important, they're there to provide information and back story and everything, but I'm usually more than content...

I must agree with what deffkryz said above. You can't really compare Oda to other artists and say one or another is "good" vs. "bad." Art is, as always, extremely subjective and in the case of comic art, is designed in such a way as to aid the storytelling. It's not about whether the art is...

I think... and this is just my opinion, but there's a difference between a series being emotionally mature and it being serious. If a bunch of characters die, and there are dark and dramatic scenes, that makes a series (or a story arc) serious, but that doesn't mean the characters are mature...

Re: One Piece 617 Discussion / 618 Prediction Thread Yeah, I thought of that after I posted, but you corrected me before I could :p. You're right, Jozu may have used haki. I guess it just comes down to my own opinion on the matter. I just don't see Zoro's 2 years of training with Mihawk...

Re: One Piece 617 Discussion / 618 Prediction Thread I'm not surprised so much. I mean, of course the opportunity was there to learn Mihawk's techniques. I guess I just find it against my expectations that Zoro would mimic someone else's techniques rather than make it his own thing. But we...
