what's one piece?

k

Who needs her when he has a living skeleton with a cane and afro that plays music and drinks tea?

>>19299723
no k

>>19299706

Yes but at least skeleton makes silly puns that make most people chuckle while Aisha runs around repeating her name ten times in an episode and being about as engaging as a brick wall( unless you're a furfag that is)

But, other than Aisha I fucking loved that series as both dubs and subs and bought the entire series on DVD.

>>19299732

This tea tastes good to the tongue. But, I don't have a tongue! YOHOHOHOHOHOHOHO!

>>19299706
>Luffy doesn't have Aisha Clan-clan

You fucking know it. Better than any fucking stupid skeleton too.

>>19299814
>Better than any fucking stupid skeleton too.
Ah... that line just broke my heart... BUT OF COURSE I DON'T HAVE ONE

YOHOHOHOHO

>>19299732
>>19299805
>>19299807

At least Outlaw Star has a Beginning, a Middle - and an END.

But then, the likes of Kishimoto, Tite, Oda & Araki have no concept of Endings. Thus their manga are CRAP. Enjoy filling SJ's coffers, suckers. They specifically choose these kinds of stories to feed & bleed you shonenfags.

Ergo, Outlaw Star >>>>> Naruto/One Piece/Bleach/JJBA. QED.

>>19299873

FUCK YOU, I spat out my drink :(

Cowboy Bebopu > Outlaw Star

>>19299873

Excuse me miss ctarl,
would you be so kind as to show me
your panties?

YOHOHOHOHO

>>19299732
>>19299805
>>19299873

Aisha: 'You must have terrible diarhhoea. That food I gave you must have gone right through you! Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!'

Oda says he intends to keep One Piece running for at least ten more years.
I'm not up for that ride.

>>19299873
>>19299947
Holy shit, I'm fuckin' loling

>>19299941

Aisha: 'I don't wear panties. That's why you can see my pussy!'

Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!'

Outlaw Star was good, but it can't compete against One Piece, sorry. I know One Piece is long, but I like it that way.

BTW, Robin is hundreds of times hotter than Aisha.

>>19299988
What a fine lady you are! I might just be getting a BONER

From what i heard, One Piece has passed the middle of it for a long time already...
but for me it can go on for a long time...i'll still love it
and Broko is great

>>19300002

>Robin

That slut? Melfina is pure & perfect. Besides, Robin can't interface with her ship & be it's navigational system.

>>19300032
>>19299988
>>19299947
>>19299873
Oh man, oh wow.

>>19300032

Aisha: 'I bet you do good impersonations. Such as Pelvis Presley!!

Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!'

>>19300104
Is it because of the fact that he is already dead?

HOLY FUCK DON'T STOP

Why do people get so turned off over One Piece's length?
When we thought shit was getting real on Enies Lobby, shit gets EVEN MORE real now.
To some of you who'll never watch/read it because it's big, you don't know what you're missing.

>>19300147

Aisha: 'I've got a bone to pick with you, Brooke. But then, you've got plenty to choose from!

Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!'

>>19300166

>Why do people get so turned off over One Piece's length?

Precisely because it's SO BLOODY LONG! Which is why I prefer Outlaw Star.

One Piece: ∞+1 episodes

Outlaw Star: 26 episodes.

You do the maths.

Brevity is the soul of wit. Familiarity breeds contempt.

>>19300166
Because in the time it would take me to watch 400+ episodes, I could watch so many other series.

>>19300252
Like I said, you don't know what you're missing.

>>19300308
391 actually.
It's not like you only have the anime option though.

>>19300002

Melfina: 'When you come to think of it, Miss Robin, Luffy doesn't need to look for the One Piece. He's already found all the booty he could possibly want!'

*chuckles*

>>19300252
are you talking about anime or manga here? although even manga should take about 30 hours to cover, if you take 10 seconds for a page approx.

>>19300372
Based on a reccomendation outside of /a/, I do intend to read the manga at some point.

But, to be honest, action shounens aren't really my thing.

> 19300308

But those would be the most memorable 400+ episodes of your life.

>>19300322

And from the looks of things (from what I've seen here in /a/), I'm not missing much.

Redo One Piece with FAR less episodes (& infinitely less chapters; say, three volumes worth in Ultra Jump), and preferably have it set in space (and replace one of the sluts with a catgirl). Oh, but it's already been done. It's called Outlaw Star. Guess I don't have to bother with that unending nonsense.

Outlaw Star? Cobra did it first and infinitely better, with slightly more episodes (therefore containing slightly more awesome).

Besides, Gene doesn't have Armaroid Lady.

>>19300378

That's what make us a great crew. Are you envious?

>>19300444
So you judge based on what /a/ thinks of a series?
It's a shonen. Most of /a/ doesn't react that well to them already.
Enjoy being influenced by trolls.

One Piece and Outlaw Star are equally good in their own rights.
Let's not bash them at each other when we can enjoy both.

>>19300486

When Japan has to resort to resurrecting corpses of ancient anime, you know they're running out of ideas. And I'm not into necrophilia. As with Hollywood's planned adaptations of anime - Battle Angel Alita Akira, GitS, Dragonball (Need I say more?!) etc, some things are best left well alone. Two Words:

Golgo 13.

>>19300501

Not really. Not when they're drawn by Oda. If it was done by a different artist however (and the ugly male characters were eliminated)...

Pic extremely related.

>>19300608

what.

The problem with short stories is that...they're short. They end so quickly and then you get everything you wanted out of your twenty-six episodes and then...bam! Show's over, move along people nothing more to see here!

What I like about longer stories like One Piece is that there is an ongoing story and you get to see more new things in every episode. Also, with the way One Piece is, there are elements which tend to build on eachother, furthermore, where Outlaw Star tends to tell only one story, One Piece has MULTIPLE STORIES. A single arc can last longer than a series. And when it's done, another story comes in its place. The bigger picture of course comes in piece by piece, inch by grueling inch, and that makes it all the more exciting. It's not like there isn't an end in sight...there is. But many things happen along the way. One Piece is by far the most epic adventure I've seen. Outlaw Star, while good on its own is small shit.

Aisha: 'I guess that's why you were recruited by Luffy, Brooke. Because you're so humerus!

Nya-nya-nya-nya-nya!'

>>19300712

Ever heard of the phrase 'All good things come to an end'? Pic extremely related.

I guess that's why Naruto, Bleach & One Piece are so crap then.

>>19300608

You know, I don't agree with this for several reasons. The first being that there really *are* no new stories. New ways to tell them, yes, but the core stories are essentially the same as they've been since man was telling them around fires in the last ice age.

The second leads from that and that is: Stories are meant to be told and retold over and over again. They change little by little with every telling and eventually evolve into "new" stories. This is why productions of Shakespeare today are different than ones 400 years ago and sometimes bear little resemblance to the Bard's original works (which themselves were based on older stories).

Hollywood adapting anime stories puts a new perspective on those stories (Western as opposed to Eastern) and will lead to more changes down the line. There's nothing wrong with this, this is how progress happens.

>>19300776
Cool story bro.
Keep pulling the ''endless'' card.

>>19300712
Shorter anime are better.
The advantage to a shorter anime is that due to it being shorter, there's less of a risk of growing bored with the premise or plot.

If people are not bored with the premise, then they can properly plan a sequel, and take time to write a new story for it.

>>19300809

>there really *are* no new stories

Seven Arcs & Sunrise would like a word with you. Nanoha StrikerS & Mai Otome proves otherwise. Mahou Shoujo + Sci-Fi? Much more originality than pirates.

>>19300865
I get bored more easily with shorter anime.
Xam'd is a recent example. I'm not saying it was bad, but some parts were boring for me.
When I watched OP lots of episodes flew by.
Only on rare occasions I felt bored. I stopped for a few weeks, then went back to it. And it wasn't boring anymore.

>>19300166
Truth. Reading One Piece every week is like one of my favorite and enjoyable things ever. I hope it never ends and yet at the same time I hope it does.

Twilight susuka should get her own show

Luffy is what turned me of over One Piece. I mean, it's like
"Wow would you CHECK ME OUT!!! I'm so wacky my mom named me Monkey. MONKEY. Can you believe it?!"

>>19300886
Neither the Mai _ series or Nanoha are "Mahou Shoujo" shows in terms of genre by any stretch of the imagination, sure they have magical girls but thematically they are much closer to action series then true mahou shoujo like sailor moon, CCS and such. Action + Sci-fi is hardly original. These just come with the "the main cast are girls" twist

>>19300839

>''endless''

And you wonder why many here think it's crap?

>>19300914
You watch several shorter anime in a row.

Based on my experiences with Bleach and Naruto, I'd watch them for a while, then I got bored with the way the plot dragged on and on, then I eventually quit.

I don't get bored with shorter anime, because they actually have an ending.

>>19301037
That's like, your only argument.

>>19300914
"Flew by" sounds about right. I was doing other stuff with One Piece running in the background.
The show is not only long, it's also slow as fucking fuck.

>>19301037
Berserk has been running longer then all three of them and is barely half done by Miura's estimation. And we all love it. Your point is invalid

>>19301040
Just give it a go.
We're not saying it's the best thing ever, we just think it's worth to give it a watch, at least so you can have an opinion on it, instead of just saying it's big.

>>19300002
>Outlaw Star was good, but it can't compete against One Piece, sorry.
Sorry, it can, and successfully.
Again, sorry.

>>19300886

Even Sailormoon had elements of SF in its mahou shoujo. The idea of magical girl teams came from super sentai and transforming, combat oriented magical girls originated with Cutie Honey.

>>19301069
And everyone loves it since it's labeled ''seinen''.
Other stuff have the shonen label and people think those are TOTAL SHIT.

>>19301037
So basically, the only thing that interests you is the end ? Sounds stupid.

I watched around 50 episodes of OP and I didn't like it.

>>19301131
There you go. Good for you.
Go watch something that fits your tastes better, anon.

>>19300776
It will come to an end. Just like Inuyasha and Gash Bell and all others. It's a story and it's an inevitability. One Piece just has more story and more material than most others. Not all stories are created equal y'know.

Brook doesn't sit right with me.

He's probably the least developed of all the crew members, but holy crap he looks awesome and makes me laugh. I can't decide if I'm for or against.

Then again I felt the same about Robin, but it turned out Oda was going somewhere with it. I should probably just be patient.

>>19301127
No, not just the end.
We like the fact that the plot has a resolution, that it all led somewhere.
A good shounen was TTGL, as it had a good plot, which was resolved in 26 episodes. It then ends satisfactorily.

Can you really claim that when one pice eventually ends, the ending will be good? It's gone on for so long now that no matter how it ends, fans will bitch about it.

Even Dragonball Z had a shitty ending (mostly due to the Buu saga).

In short, we watch shorter shows because we like to know that the light at the end of the tunnel isn't just another train.

>>19301210
In One Piece, it's not the end that is interesting but the whole trip, and fuck yes even after ten years it is still awesome

>>19301210

You're basically critisizing something that hasn't happened yet. It would be okay if you had any proof whatsoever to suggest that Oda can't pull off an ending well, except you don't. In fact, you could say he's very capable considering the endings of each of the individual arcs so far.

>>19301210
OP's arcs are pretty much separate from each other. While some may argue that this kind of format is bad, the stories contained in each are very good, and have a really nice conclusion. So even if the real ending is bad, I, for one, will have nice memories of the other arcs.
Even a canon filler arc in OP as a rich story and conclusion.
