One Piece - Thriller Bark

That was pretty good. It did feel like a side trip, but it was an extremely fun one. Feels a lot like a Nightmare Before Christmas world in the Kingdom Hearts games. There were nice hooks to earlier points in the story too with Laboon and the paper Ace gave Luffy. The battles at the end were pretty damn cool too, with lots of scale escalation - kinda like Gurren Lagann. It was really funny seeing stuff just get bigger and bigger. It's too bad Robin is such a spoilsport, or we would have seen the legendary DOCKING 6. Looooooooool. :(

I'll probably watch Strong World tomorrow, and take a break from One Piece for a while. Don't want to get completely burnt out. I still have about a full month before Z opens here, so I should have plenty of time to catch up. :D

Oda has said before his fan of tim burton movies.

The Thriller Bark Arc was clearly inspired by Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas, Frankenstein, and Michael Jackson´s song that has the same name: "Thriller".

Oda's three favorite movies are Seven Samurai, The Nightmare Before Christmas, and Young Guns

Everyone in this manga is so impulsively stupid they would not even stick out if they were to appear on Looney Tunes. I couldn't care less about ski jumping before and I cannot say that that has changed one bit after the first volume, the main character is basically god already, the only thing left for her to do is to undergo a sex change.

Oda's got great taste.
*remembers he's a fan of Avril Lavigne*
... Most of the time.

Couldn't we chalk this up to the same phenomena that makes people think shitty Jpop songs are better than they are? You don't notice how shitty it is since its in another language?

Bane? Get them on board, I'll call it in.

Maybe, but I always thought Oda had a pretty good grasp of English due to how much of it is in the series (Wanted Posters are all in English)
Granted, Oda could have just said he was a fan to promote Film Z since Lavigne said she was a fan of One Piece and she covered two songs for it. One being a Nickelback song... gross.
 
I'm like the inaugural member of the Goda Fan Club in ManGAF, Angry Grimace can testify to this.

Yeah, I have to apologise for the snarkiness too. Haven't had my morning coffee before.

I love that they're putting the Avril Lavigne version of the Nickleback song. The rage on the internet by some fans have been a joy to read.

Finally the manga I like, haikyuu, hungry joker, shokugeki no soma, psi kusuo arent doing poorly.

So is this Toriko movie not in 3d, since it already had a 3d movie.
 
Docking scene in the anime is just as hilarious

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8rM8f4uk29A

It's too bad, if they had done it their victory would have been simple.

Anyway, you picked a good spot to take a break. You're almost at the half-way point and shit only gets real from here on out.

Robin's reaction to the docking made me laugh for like 10 straight minutes. Weeks later, I would think of that scene and just start laughing all over again.

Hunter x Hunter

Seriously? Naruto took the "inject your powers into this object to find out what aspect you are" bit from Hunter too? Usually I don't really care that much about lifting concepts from other works, but that's pretty damn shameless.

Hunter x Hunter 1-30

Wow. Naruto's chuunin arc is a pretty shameless rip-off of the tag idea.

Chuunin Exam arc? I liked it for the fights, and enjoy it still.
What was the tag idea in HxH again? I don't think Naruto necessarily copied from HxH at least at the start, both were inspired by Dragonball though IIRC.

I've always felt that Naruto took Uchiha Itachi's backstory from MGS3's Boss.
 
Molester Man 13-16

You did good Molester! Didn't think he actually confess but he did.

Looks like a Kansai ending is within sight especially after that blush (she was cute). The stalker being caught was a surprise, if a little anticlimatic.

Yes, you read that right: Toriko is getting a movie.

Interesting

Kurogane ending in one more chapter eh.

Already prepared for that disappointing ending

What's so good about Molester Man BTW? I read the first 4 chapters, but it hasn't interested me much so far.

So the arc's pretty much wrapped up now. Info dump incoming.

Would this be the first time the covers have been directly tied into the main plot? The Caribou bit should be interesting. Looking forward to the Kaido's crew too.

You only missed out on last week's chapter since we had that 3 week break.
