But let's not try and pretend that certain genres and demographics don't bring a certain set of expectations and preconceived notions of standards.

The only manga I seriously read is Hot House. Every time I post about a manga, I just reread HH and make up something based on the reaction posts in this thread.

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
There isn't a lot of it translated. I also refuse to forgive josei manga for Usagi Drop's ending.
Again your post shows how little you actually know, how little you want to understand.
Do you somehow miss the gigantic Revolutionary Army plot line in the background, beginning in Longue Town, than Drum, Alabasta and Summit War saga? Did you miss how Luffy meets people in connection to Gol, starting from Shanks, to Crocus at the Reverse Mountain, Gan Fall at Skypea, Tom at Water 7, Silvers at Sabaody Archipelago and the Marineford arc? Stop kidding yourself into telling it's a puzzle when it's a gigantic manga with a gigantic world with more than one plot line at the same time. OP is about arcs within a saga[East Blue, Alabasta, Sky Island, Water 7, Thriller Bark, Summit War, Pirate Alliances], those are interconnected to each other and create the impression of a massive story.
You are proposing that he should change his dream, but when the journey is the destination to fulfill his ultimate dream of ultimate freedom, by becoming Pirate King, why should he do that? Why should he change his dream, when all he is adventures and experiences are confirming his basic attitude that he needs to be free of everything and reach the One Piece to gain true freedom. Are you too obtuse to understand the very basics of this manga? In the very first chapter Shanks, his idol of life, has sacrificed his swordhand to let him live, should he throw that away after training all these years for this goal, after seeing his brother die before his own eyes [through the hands of a corrupt world government], after being given a chance, vision and possibility to obtain his dream!? What he shows is dedication to a dream, it should be an inspiration, not something to belittle the MC for. Should he rather cry and scream, wait till it rains to get help from one of his inner entities turning him to the ultimate being?
Why are you trying to keep it on Sanji? It was at the beginning of the arc, still playing on the Mermaid Cafe jollity and turned a joke into an introduction into the racial stuff. We were put it suspense by their reluctance, than we got the flashback explaining things, Hordy's speech about 'nothing' for a reason of his actions. There was enough darker material to dignify the issue.
The thing is, before Shirahoshi couldn't even call the Sea Kings before. Those talked about repairing Noah, so it seems conclusive that she would use and/or stay in contact with them, learning how to use her powers. I don't see her becoming a physical fighter, she wouldn't need to though. FI took too long, I agree, but Hordy and crew served as a good way to show them that they got no business talking big while using steroids, while displaying some of the Mugiwaras abilities, tease us for the future.
Bad arcs, all the same? Themes are: Eugenics, Status Devide, Drug Addiction, Censorship, Justice, Slavery, War, Racism and pursuing of one's dreams.
With stories.

Ms.Understanding didnt need to show up on the cover of the magazine in universe, but at least Shiratori san was hopefully honest the whole way through. The face at seeing the cover was hilarious though. No action, but the couch scene is sweet.

This is an awesome argument about whether One Piece or Bleach is the marginally more generic shonen adventure series. I mean, really awesome.
The longer it goes on, the better.

Well Gray made it this best part of this arc so far. The power of imagination is one of the most creative powers Mashima has used. He should have at least made this more chapters, unless theyll revert again, hopefully.

If Kubo does character art, Oda tells story and Kubo convinces him to cut down on his bullshit fluffery...im there bruh.The solution to this would be to have a bleach/one piece crossover
....Wait, you're accusing One Piece of the bullshit fluffery? And you think Kubo's the one to convince him. The same person who created Aizen, AKA bullshit fluffery personified? This is crazy town.

Vellum or it's trash.
This is pretty apt.
One Piece is like a feeding tube that's 3 inches in diameter that is forcefeeding you a bunch of random foods that don't mix well and will not stop no matter how sick you're already feeling.

Wrong. One Piece is a perfectly executed cheeseburger. Not very original, but MMMMMMMMMMM.
Of course, for people so wrong all the time they can enjoy said glass of filthy lakewater, which is not only disgusting and unfilling, but makes you shit your colon out later, I can see how it would feel "bloated."
Bleach is more like a well executed Spicy Tuna Roll. Aesthetically pleasing, and just enough to satiate you for the meal.
If One Piece were a burger, it would be one of those disgustingly greasy heart attack burgers with like 35 patties and 0 aesthetic value.

Neither Bleach nor One Piece is a special snowflake. Be real, fellers.
At least he has reasoning behind it *shrug*
