I went to check the first chapter of Bleach again and then saw this. I didn't know this was translated.

Bleach one-shot

This was rather interesting. The concept is obviously very similar, but with minor differences, like human-looking hollows (without masks), tickets to soul society, Rukia losing her powers and shrinking, Orihimie's father attacks her, instead of her brother and the best part that didn't make it: Orihime died.

Drawing too much shit per panel and pretending to know foreign languages?

How exactly does One Piece have too much shit on one panel? Do you even read the average comic? This is what I don't get about this complaint with the series, I see it all the time in American comics and it works perfectly fine there as it does in One Piece. Short reading attentions everywhere.

If I wanted to talk about the average American comic, I'd be in that thread. Meaning, no I don't read American comics at all.

Well in my opinion, you shouldn't even be discussing what constitutes as too much on a panel. There's no such thing as too much or too less on a panel, ever. It's all about what type of feel the manga is trying to depict, which in One Piece's case is pretty much complete chaos. I'm not sure how this is even remotely an issue unless you literally forget what happens on the previous pages as you read on.

Actually if going by that then Orihime might have become a Shinigami which might have been Kubo was aiming for.

But on that note screw you bro! Who would heal Ichigo and gang and be the deadweight without Orihime in Bleach?

Now that you mention it, his post just reminded me of something ...

What makes you think you always know it better than everyone else?

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Did they happen to mention how long it takes them for a 200 pages volume? I wanna see how it compares to translating a novel.

How does it take them that long for a novel. At least the one novel or so that viz /sublmine is simulpublishing they were able to do 55 novel pages + 32 manga pages in a weekend/few days. (into the illusion).

 

[Angry Grimace]

For the record, the original post about Oda's panel composition was a joke, but I guess I should have foreseen that Big One wouldn't know a joke if Richard Pryor returned from the dead, knocked on his door and delivered it personally.

He'd probably tell him how wrong he is, list some examples that are, in his opinion of course, much better and them tell him to fuck off and slam the door.

 

[Yonafunu]

Well let me put it this way in realistic terms.

If Kubo redid Bleach from the start, the first arc would be 20 volumes long and most of it would be backgroundless fights between Ichigo and bullies and hollows introducing an entire cast of characters (Ichigo's schoolmates become the bad guys for this arc like Espada or Shinigami).

If Oda redid One Piece from the start, there would be 100 different characters in a single arc full of gags to tell the entirety of Luffy's trip starting in his home town till he first sets sail looking for a crew. Also gushy shit everywhere.

If Kishimoto did Naruto, Naruto would spend the entire arc crying about his dead father, Sasuke would turn evil faster, and Sakura would be a maiden rather than a ninja along with all the other female characters. Then sometime in the arc, some evil dude resurrects Naruto's dad who eventually breaks hold of the evil dude's grip and joins up with Naruto and makes Naruto the most powerful ninja of all time learning every power including having the Sharingan.

This post is a joke, right?

 

[Stinky]

Finished the 7Seeds "Summer Team A Selection Exam" arc.

Was very good. The survival bits were the kids were being picked off were excellent, the atmosphere is far more tense than the "future" bits where I'm still left in the dark about what is really happening (meteorite --> ???) and the only real threat is random mutant fish and bugs and stuff.

Blew my mind about

Spoiler

Hana's dad being one of the "teachers"

 

[Lain]

If you have a foot fetish then read manga by Makura no Doushi.

Or doujinshi by Minazuki Juuzou. He draws some gd sexy feet.

My Neighbor Yumeno-san

Nice little one-shot about a girl named Kazumi who's always looking out for her older neighbor Yumeno. While it feels a little rushed, it hit all the right notes nonetheless.

 

[Big One]

What makes you think you always know it better than everyone else?

I don't? I just feel like you should have some sort of backing before you really decide what is good or bad in some form or another. Especially in something as robust as the comic medium which has hundreds of ways to depict a story. There's absolutely nothing wrong with disliking One Piece, but I'm genuinely confused on why one of the complaints is "too much going on." If you can't keep up with it, that's really the reader's problem.

 

[Jintor]

Did you only just discover dynasty or what

 

[Wiseblade]

If Oda restarted One Piece now...

1) The Lord of the Coast would have been bigger and Shank's Haki usage more explicit.
2) Bounties would have been better paced.
3) Gaimon would have been an ex-member of Don Krieg's crew.
4) Whiskey Peak would have been slightly less confusing.

If Kubo restarted Bleach now...

1) It would be a panel-for-panel recreation of the original in his current style because he doesn't see anything wrong with anything he's done so far.
2) Every chapter would have a broken English title.

If Kishimoto restarted Naruto now...

1) Naruto would never have had goggles.
2) Shikamaru would probably get a little more exposure in the early part of the the Chunin Exams.
3) The manga would be called "Sasuke" to remove any ambiguity about who the main character is.

Not at all. I've posted in here before but I've been wrapped up in so much shit I rarely had time to sit down and just read one-shots for a bit. Where have you been? :lol

 

[brotkasten]

Naruto one-shot

I forgot how different this was. Naruto would be a completely different manga if it was based on this one-shot. Some concepts and designs were reused, but the world is so different. Best part of the one-shot: No Sasuke. At some point the art style reminded me of HxH. Would it be too far fetched to say that Kubo was inspired by Togashi? Like, did he admit such a thing or is there a connection between them?

Now that Kishi screwed up Mario, maybe we can hype up this version of Naruto instead and wish he went with this universe?

"Bait"? I was not aware that anything I've said is particularly outrageous or eye-catching. I'm just stating my opinion on this subject.

So inspired by this, I went and read the one shot.

I was sure I had read this before (in volume 2 or 3 I think?), but this was something entirely different. You weren't kidding when you said it would have been a completely different manga- apart from the fact that Naruto looks just like he does now, there is almost nothing in common with what we eventually got. I don't know how it would have worked out (I doubt it would have had a 10 plus year run with this concept), but it is interesting to see what might have been.

I really would like to see an "(old school) ninjas in a modern setting" type of story, with jutsu and all that jazz. I really don't know if and how it would work.

 

[Yonafunu]

It hurts to remember how much more character Kishimoto's art used to have...

 

[Jintor]

Not at all. I've posted in here before but I've been wrapped up in so much shit I rarely had time to sit down and just read one-shots for a bit. Where have you been? :lol

I think I might have already read half the non doujin content on that site...

Its the usual song and dance (people getting riled up) when you are around.


I partly remember the Naruto oneshot and Romance Dawn (OP oneshot basically) but I don't remember reading the one for Bleach.

That's great! Can I get a name, too? Because searching for "two boys sitting around manga" didn't get me the results I wanted.

Hey whatever floats their boat man.

I haven't posted in this thread for a while, but I have been reading it. Not to bash Angry Grimace by any means, but it seems more like to me he starts arguments for no reason just because he doesn't like the user whether I'm here or not, yet I get blamed for all the negativity in this thread when I only make one or two posts a week on average.

I'm not here to be confrontational, just laying down the opinion and you can take that however you like good or bad. If you feel like you're being "trolled," well...all I can say is that I appreciate any reaction I get.

 

[Dedication Through Light]

Nabari no Ou.

Unrelated: I wonder if Loveless is still going.

If only the va in Nabari no Ou hadnt clearly used a female voice for Miharu. :/

Loveless is still going...some interview suggested she will end it at v15 (its at v12 now)

You also claimed it was the "reader's problem" if they didn't like all of 20th Century Boys. I'm going to take your opinion on what a "reader's problem" is with a grain of salt.

Well honestly, if you didn't like 20th Century Boys, you really only have yourself to blame for that.

The only thing I can think of is maybe Vertical has more quality control over their translations so they take their time with researching/edition over Viz which I assume they care more about speed translating for Into Illusion series. Or maybe Vertical is just hiring bad translators.

Or doujinshi by Minazuki Juuzou. He draws some gd sexy feet.

Bayonetta doujin is good stuff.

This is sort of big news, isn't it? It should make a lot of readers happy, at least. I gave up on it a long time ago and even back then I was wondering why it was still going. Now I'm wondering if I should put it back on my list ...

 

[Dedication Through Light]

This is sort of big news, isn't it?

It had already been announced that it was ending soon though.

Lots of series from 2000's era seem to be ending before even mid 2010's are even being reached, hope tons of new good series start popping up.

Did they ever explain what was to deal with the vampires and where they came from?

I stopped reading Gantz back when the God aliens showed up and kept talking about how humans were worthless.

I really would like to see an "(old school) ninjas in a modern setting" type of story, with jutsu and all that jazz. I really don't know if and how it would work.

Oddly enough, I didn't even see this as a Ninja story- I saw it more as a Tanuki story. He fact that he needs a leaf to transform, the existence of a tail, the animal like nose- all traits of a Tanuki, not a ninja.

Imagine how different Naruto would have been with that fact!
