like the number 4 in spanish? i must be missing something. gotta catch up on minamoto. also, turok usually talks about this manga but since i lost all my tabs on it, its impossible to find again for me ;_;
Question, what's the manga with that guy whos trying to get a girlfriend while he's a rich kid in high school? i think its something among the lines in japanese of why i cant get a girlfriend? spoiler for those who have read it:
it has a part where his childhood friend confesses to him and he rejects her, shes so nice and cute too ;_;
kurita pls

No Eren, whining at how weak and pathetic you are and hitting yourself for it isn't character development, because whining about your whininess is also whiny, and the whole "punching yourself at random" is just stupid.

Dani has been in Japan for a long time, he must go to comiket if he's there until the summer!

[QUOTE="God's Beard!";159478903]Oda doesn't know about breaks. Miura and Togashi know about some breaks.[/QUOTE]
Bingo.
We bitch about it now but I'm much happier with Oda taking a week off every 7-8 weeks then going and then it suddenly going on hiatus without a date for it's return.

I agree completely. HxH and Berserk so painful T_T
I'm pretty sure Oda takes a break once a month though at least for awhile.

Wonder if Oda got addicted to some video game
That seems to be how other mangaka falls
I bet its Youkai Watch

Are you completely forgetting what happened a couple years ago? That he worked so hard he put himself into the hospital?
These breaks are forced on him by Shueisha. If it were up to him, he would still be working.

Isidoro is the best character in Berserk. Between his swashbucking sword technique and his stand Puck, nobody can get in his way.

Dudes got wrecked. Mori Hui is a beast.
Maybe he gets so hot the rubber melts and he becomes a pseudo logia?

According to One Piece logic, biting into bone and blowing in air makes the bone expand. We can all get behind this. Oh, also bone full of air somehow becomes dense and gains incredible mass, granting Luffy "giant bone" powers as seen in 3rd Gear... this last absolute nonsense we all accept.
What if, he blew enough air into all his bones that he himself becomes a giant, but then uses haki and Gear 2nd to contract his muscles and shrink himself back to normal size. Now he's a hyper-dense, speeding bullet of a fighter with punches which have enough force to punch holes through anything. He could even have weird moves where he releases the haki on, say, his arm, and in an instant it expands becoming a giant arm to clobber a foe, and he can recontract it back in.
As much bullshit as the above might sound, it makes about as much sense as Gear 3rd.

Attack on Titan
This feels like a spot for the second season anime to stop, maybe with a slight bit after it with Historia taking the throne which I assume will be the start of the next chapter.

Random nonsense to disguise the fact that there's only one story arc repeated over and over like a giant madlib. Just enough quirkiness to make people think that conscious thought and creativity is being put into the development of the story.

Well, it still is shonen, so pretty much every arc ends with the crew challenging people while Luffy goes and fights the big bad. They've just been becoming longer and longer.

I'll say that watching the first episode of the anime has had me interested in actually going and buying what's been released so far (well, in the upcoming months, anyways). On the other end, even the first episode of Seraph of the End has had the same power on me, but i nthat case, I first need for Seraph to get released.

Well I can't say I've ever gotten that impression from the series so I would naturally say no.
But if that's what you've gotten out of the series, then I can't say for certain whether it's still written that way or not.

To be fair, One Piece is very much a series that you read to enjoy the adventure and see the different places the characters will grow. Outside of Luffy and maybe Usopp, most character's character development stop after their specific arc.
I don't think this is a bad way to tell a long adventure story. It's one of those things that if you are looking for a definite end, it could drag on. However One Piece has a kind of Comic Book Appeal that you like to see what happens and where these characters go.
Funny enough the current arc we're in is probably the most different arc than the others. (I will say that One Piece does suffer from, "Straw hats go to island/town suffering under X. They defeat X and said town learns Y and respects the Straw Hats" Ennis Lobby and Imprel Down/ Marineford did subvert this though.
