I actually like the anime.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
It's one thing to criticize someone's argument in favor/against something and quite another to just say they're dumb for liking/disliking a thing in general.

It just really doesn't hold up for week to week sessions. It feels lifeless and the chapters end up dragging on. Even if I let him go with his "artistic" direction, panels of feet for two pages feels more like filler and less like a specific direction needed for the story to be told.
On the flip side, sometimes One Piece is just packed to the brim with each panel it becomes way too convoluted. It's much easier to forgive though since it always feels like the world just became a little bit bigger and more fleshed out on top of most chapters reading like a blazing pace in comparison.

Eiichiro Oda loves doing Where's Waldo panels.
Yeah it wasnt very good. I liked takagamahara though.
I trust your and Kurita's manga tastes so I will pick this up

What were you expecting, a lick of constructive conversation?
That's got more to do with Kubo trying to control the reader's pace. He draws as if he was making the storyboard of a cartoon. Those feet panels are him trying to slow the reader down a build suspence. What he forgets is that it's a manga, people are just going to gloss right over that in half a second.
I agree that Oda's overcrowded style isn't exactly ideal either, too many times I've had to read a page over just to grasp what was supposed to be happening. But I definitely know which approach I prefer.
The war is the only time it felt truly justified to me. War is messy and has tons going on at once; the panels reflected that nicely. I was disappointed that the anime didn't transfer that into motion (not that I really should have expected anything from the anime...)
Whoever cleans the scans for One Piece makes the lines all washed out and the tones all messed up (plus the fact that they're lower quality magazine scans)
The crowded panel art Oda does is a clusterfuck in arcs like Marineford but it is FAR more tolerable in the print version. You can immediately tell what is going on. The difference is astounding sometimes.

I don't understand why Kanon has her own spinoff. Kanon is the worst girl that isn't awful Doll Girl or awful Shiori.

And this is what
Love for everyone in here, some of your own opinion and then back to business, aka reading real manga.
Yes, it seems that I made a mistake by going manga over anime
Brotherly loveAnime's good too
I couldn't stand Takagamahara, the art was this special type of bad that just pisses me off knowing something like it got published.
Anime's good too
The anime is awesome.
I really should read the manga one day since the anime never got a continuation.
Where did the anime leave off at?
Haha, it wasnt that bad.

The thing where they attempt to get Tamaki to not leave JPN.
Do you know what chapter that is DTL or would you recommend just reading the entire manga from the start?
Isn't that like pretty far in the manga? I can't look at the chapters right now, but I'm pretty sure this is near the last few volumes.
You can use manga updates to check the exact chapter when an anime adaption starts and ends
EDIT: Starts at Vol 1, Chap 1
Ends at Vol 9

Is the anime ever as good? I usually stick to whatever the original format is and don't watch the other. I watched up till . . the dragon girl filler? Any of the arcs worth a watch?
Yep, always the preferred way to read. Same with books over ebooks.
How does Jump Alpha compare to the Volume releases?
Man I was totally wrong. I'm looking at the episodes summary and I don't even remember the last episode happening in the manga.
Not really, I usually just skim it for GIF material.
Re-read OP? The fucking HORROR.
I don't have it (I probably would if I lived in America, its a very reasonable price for a cool service)
But I've seen some comparison shots on imageboards and DTL has posted some. The quality is a bit better but the tones are far better. They look like a cool grey instead of the dark murky ones ALL of the tones in the panda and stream versions become (well the stream version is pretty good).
No, re-re-read.
No, that's the entirety of volume 3.

If you skip the bad arcs, it takes only half the time and is twice as fun.

I think usually the viz (left) are better, mainly the details are just much clearer (rocks, shadows under luffy and zoro, fence grating, the clouds, nico robin in the background there), often usually best seen in most fight scenes.
^Pretty good comparison. Not as different as I remember it being but the alpha version is obviously better.
Take a look at Luffy and Zoro in panel 1 especially, the tones make them look like they're under a giant umbrella or somethin'.
Also glad to see the translations we're getting are almost spot on (at least for ONE of the versions)
No, thats Sabo. Duh

I've known that spoiler.

Apparently saying stuff like that scares Tekken players away from VF so I was killing the game or something.
