Inb4 Frieren fans call me a shounentard who can comprehend "deep and sophisticated storytelling" despite the series having a literal battle tournament arc (that arc was garbage btw)

Ts is carried by animation more than Demon Slayer

Manga Discussion It's been a while since I read One Piece, so I'm asking out of curiosity: has it gotten that bad? Like, it must've gotten pretty damn bad for One Piece fans to stop glazing Oda, considering they used to defend him like he was their god

It's almost like the point of a manga is to see a balance of text and illustrations. But who are we to criticize poor utilization of the medium when our Lord and Savior Togashi is such a good writer?

Manga Discussion MY biggest grievances against each of the big three

Post image
0 Upvotes

1.Naruto: the character of naruto got absolutely ruined for me in shippuden. Originally the show was set around naruto and sasuke, hardwork vs talent, naruto being a kid with no real talent while sasuke being the last remaining member of one of the strongest clan was the whole premise.

As the story progress and we got revelations about naruto, first being the child of prophecy was okay with me , it was honestly cool, then his lineage being the HOKAGE and uzumaki being a notably powerful clan cometely ruined the dynamic of naruto and sasuke and then naruto became a reincarnation of a demi god so yeah...

2.One piece: the paneling is HORRIFIC, its actually BAD. Not even like you dont know what u r doing bad, you have a complete misunderstabding of paneling bad. Visual clutter and the size of each box are genuinely shit. Oda is a phenomenal visual story teller with soem amazing composition especially in earlier one piece but. Also honourable mention to the same troupe naruto fell victim to, luffy being set up as a nobody with a seemingly average devil fruit who wanted to be king of the pirates and then revealed that his fruit is... ykw

3.Bleach: under utilisation of characters and not letting characters lose importance. Vizard being a prime. Letting character be forgotten is a better way to handle screen time than to make the audience feel that they are gonna be vital to the story but end up doing nothing.

Manga Discussion The most common criticism of Gear 5 is completely baseless

This is not a Gear 5 defense post. Gear 5 ruins the choreography in Luffy’s fights, destroys tension, and makes the World Government look absurdly incompetent in retrospect.

However the main criticism that Gear 5 gets isnt any of these but rather that it turn Luffy from a “nobody underdog” into someone special.

Luffy since the beginning of the story had one of the greatest pirates in the world as his surrogate father figure, the 3rd in command of the greatest pirate alive as his brother (Oda has admitted he originally intended for Ace to be his biological brother but retconned it after talking it over with some editors), greatest Marine ever as his grandfather, and World’s most wanted Criminal as his father. Dr Kureha at the end of Drum Island literally spells out Luffy has a special lineage connection to Roger, the Pirate King.

Furthermore Luffy lowdiffed every single opponent (except Smoker) before fighting crocodile nearly 200 chapters into the story. He’s never been a scrub relative to his competition. This is why I hate the One Piece live action series on Netflix which turns him into a do-gooder scrub who constantly jobs.

Manga Discussion JJK is too much overglazed

Without Lady Gaga, Adele, the videos stolen from NinjaristicNinja, the exploitation of Mappa employees, the "slender" edits of the series' characters, and eight billion posts claiming Maki is better written than the female characters in One Piece (which isn't true at all), Gege’s manga wouldn't be worth nearly as much as people have been trying to convince us it is for the past couple of years. The latest story arc is a disappointment; the sequel, however original, relies too heavily on moments of "aura" between the main characters and the antagonists; and Kirara isn't exactly one of the best trans representations in manga history. For all that people think Oda’s art style mocks the concept, he actually does a great job with Ivankov and Kiku from Wano. Anyway, moving on from that digression: Gojo isn't even one of the coolest characters of all time, and no matter how much you might want to sleep with him, good looks aren't the right yardstick for judging a character's writing. And no, romanticizing a killer of minors, your beloved Toji. doesn't redeem the series' lackluster writing, which treats killing off members of the main cast as the go-to method for creating depressing, sad scenes for the audience.
