I'm finally checking out One piece. I tried to watch it back in the day early 2000s then I just stopped.

Now I've binged 3 season in 1 week.

I got hooked on ep 37 when Nami asked Luffy for help with Arlong but there hasn't been another moment like that to me. I'm on ep 170s now I think
:picard: someone pray for this breh, watching every episode of one piece, didn't the last nikka who tried that in here die?

The fanbase kept pointing out how this episode is airing on Father's Day. To an excessive degree. It's like these source readers don't give a fukk that they basically spoil it for the anime onlies :pachaha:
I didn’t even know where the anime was till I saw it trending and knew off bat then what’s up since I read the series
Was like damn it would fall on that day
I can't really say the last 20 episodes were worth it for Mushoku Tensei just so Bind could execute the Hydra fight to complete perfection, but holy fukk, it truly was a perfect adaptation of the fight and everything that comes after. 10/10 and episode of the Spring anime season
:wow: :mjcry:

@T-K-G you are right and wrong. There's gotta be some decompression of course, but season 3 will. not. let. up. The next 3-4 volumes to be adapted are the peak of the whole damn series :ohlawd:


PS: Hitogami/Man God is the fukking worst :pacspit: :mjcry:
Not gonna imply shyt but s3 is also on point if memory serves me correct pretty much the whole series is but it has its slow downs like the academy arc on s2 but whether or not that is good for the later arcs is a matter of preference I’m still not done with it tho took a break got annoyed with something later on that made me take a break :snoop:

So if he doesn't go, then Roxy dies, his father becomes a wreck, and his mother is still a veggie. But he doesn't know, until much later.
But if he does go, then Roxy lives, his father bisected, and his mother is still a veggie. But he does know, now.

see this is where i disagree, cuz the man god is full of shyt and has his own motives, i don't think major L's go down had rudy done something else

ole boy died saving him, so that wouldn't have happened, at worst they just can't find Zenith because rudy isn't there to discover the portal, now Roxy :hubie: no idea maybe she dies

i had to go rewatch the convo with man-god

Rudy assumed the regret of going would be equally as bad, man god never said that, man god said sit yo ass here and fukk on these animal women

and he knew rudy would never do that, it sounded too goofy :ohhh: man-god wanted this nikka to go there and take these L's the whole time :wow: made rudy think he was making that decision himself

what if Roxy was the real reason he sent Rudy out there :ohhh: fukk everyone else, just save that one, for some reason

We passed that

You owe me this. Please watch
Did they even show the Eris and Nina story at the end of last season where she went to the sword God for training? I’ve noted a fair amount of content they seem to cut or move around and not a fan of them doing that. Hell they edited out most of Eris experiences and thoughts on why she left Rudy.

i haven't read it but both things you mentioned just now could/would easily work as flashbacks once we run into eris again, i don't see how they would fit into the flow of the anime as we're seeing it right now, her character isn't a prominent figure in this arc, it wouldve been forgotten by now with all of this other shyt going on. They let us get an idea of what Sylphie was up to because Rudy wasn't far off from running into her agin, i expect the same with eris

Nah but it might end up an OVA. Hard to compact how much she stinks in a few flashbacks :bryan:

Nah. It shows that major Ls are going down if Rudy doesn't intervene. Roxy definitely dies if Rudy doesn't intervene. His mom stays as a vegetable no matter what. We saw Paul was a wreck before Rudy and Sex-Elf shows up. And there's no way Paul and team defeats the hydra without those 3. It's doubtful they even find the hydra.

But now that you've said it, Troll-no-Kami may have played reverse psychology to get Rudy to save Roxy. At least, he's trying to get Rudy the harem he's always wanted.

:wow:

I've been under the impression that Eris' story will be an OVA, considering all her flashbacks are not worth intertwining with the current events of the anime.

They could also do an "episode 0" before a cour/season like they did with Sylphie.

Watched Episode 4 of The Grimm Variations: The Elves and the Shoemaker

While in terms of dark twist, I am not too familiar with the origin short stories. But I found this to be the best so far. Surrounds an author who found early success, but now is in a major slump. He meet a girl who would be considered the Elf in the title, who would help find success. But the question he asked himself why do people like this? Essentially these works were tailored to meet an audience, but not what he wanted to create. Which is a very delicate point for authors. How do you create the story you want, but have an audience for it?

Screen_Shot_2024-06-17_at_9.37.51_AM.png


The old man simply gave up on his creativity and just created works that he found success. He was a top-selling author, but you can tell that he wasn't happy. His life was miserable. His health was a mess. Even in the cruelest way possible, she showed him the life he could have if he stuck with his original work and not sell out. He would have a happy life with a family. But instead he lived a financial successful, but miserable life.

This episode really highlights to those in the creativity fields. Don't lose your creativity and soul. You lose that you lose passion to continue pushing your work forward. Not to mention you would easily lose motivation. A very sad story with a realistic message behind it.

:wow:
Exactly my point, so what are you talking about about? He's not catching these same L's

if Paul doesn't get down there, he doesn't die, Zenith wasn't dying inside of that crystal, so they're could've been another chance with a different party later down the line, and Rudy doesn't lose his left hand.

You're assuming these characters will all do the same thing but just minus Paul, I'm saying way more would change and they wouldn't even be moving the same, timelines have a bigger trickle down effect than just "oh this person isn't here now" and everyone else just does the same thing, for all we know Paul mighta waited for Ghislaine to come if Rudy didn't show up, he clearly was ready to wait for enough help

Roxy is the only potential L he takes, but even then, there's no telling someone else isn't in that cave because Rudy isn't there, again, it's the butterfly effect

Timelines are way more nuanced in this show than you're giving em credit for imo
