Can we take a moment to appreciate how fantastic the establishing shot of the Zou countryside looked? GODDAMN Oda
This really is the furry arc.

You're just trying to get an avatar quote, I can smell it from here.
Haha, no reason, really. I wanted to include all of the top five posters. Top poster was the strongest dude in the picture, second top poster was second strongest dude, etc. Unfortunately, there are only four characters in the image, and Veelk absolutely had to be Kalifa for the joke ;b
I am the 5th most frequent discussion member of a series I don't even like?!
I uh....I think I'm gonna have to go and rethink my priorities here...

Wait you don't actually like One Piece?

Nope! This has been common knowledge and very perplexing to everyone who likes OP.

Naw, it's not actually Nami.
I can relate - I like One Piece, but I read Bleach despite me hating it. Sometimes you just wanna see shit burn. And well, it's not surprise, Veelk made very clear that he does not like One Piece the way we do.
IT'S IN MY EROTIC FANFIC THTAS ACTUALLY JUST A HxH ANT ARC FANFIC WITH REPLACED NAMES

I think he really likes it. He likes it so much he makes hundreds of post picking apart real and perceived inconsistancies.

I've read some of Veelk's criticisms so far, and there's plenty I agree with to a smaller or larger degree. I just thought it was "Be critical of the works you love"-kinda criticism.
Didn't realise he didn't like OP at all.
... I literally do this to everything I consider myself a fan of.
I doubt that's Nami.
I grudgingly respect it is the most I can say about it, with liking very select parts of it. I love Oda's sword designs, particularly Zoro's. I would do anything to have a high production made Yubashiri, as that's one of the most beautiful looking sword designs I've ever seen. I like some of the outlandish ideas he has, like Zou itself now. I like SOME character designs.
I dislike OP for much more than I like it. Humor is highly hit or miss for me, mostly miss (though if I'm being honest, I did find everyone's reactions to Ryuunosuke somewhat amusing. You got me this time Oda). The designs, the way the powers work, the way characters act...it's to the point where there are few I flat out feel empathy for.
I view One Piece as a highly sophisticated machine, with it's consistent plot mechanics, foreshadowing, it's elaborate art and ambitious ideas. But looking at it as a machine only makes me appreciate the technical aspects of it. It never makes me care about the things that are happening. The whole cast of strawhats could be slaughtered next chapter and I wouldn't feel a twinge of sympathy. Good stories make me believe they're real, and OP just never accomplished that, for all the other good things it did.
As for me just analyzing the shit out of it, it's not special in that regard. I do it with everything, regardless of whether I like it or not. Give me the Teletubbies to watch, and I'll write dissertations on that.

I'd never waste my time following, arguing and writing huge walls of text about something i don't like. I don't know Veelk, maybe you do like OP a bit.
It's fine, lots of people do

That's cool. I doubt anyone believes me at that point, but I've never begrudged anyone liking it. And I consider personal like/dislike to be the least important part of conversation on craft.
I like it a lot more than I used to atleast. I used to outright hate it. Now I liken the relationship more to how Homer feels about Flanders.

Yeah, you could fill an entire book with my complaints about e.g. smash brothers. But that's cause it's something I have a lot of passion & interest for.

I could probably write a decent amount about why I dislike say ... Bleach or something .. but only if someone either asked me or as a one-off thing.
Complaining on a forum so much about something I don't even like to the point of becoming one of the top 5 posters in the thread ... naw man.
The only time I ever remember being in the top of any thread was when I did my 100x manga sprites in the general manga thread & just posted a lot about ideas/suggestions.
Rebel Leader
THE POWER OF BUTTERSCOTCH BOTTOMS
but what about the Mink?
You could probably say I have a high passion for stories themselves. How they work and so on. From that point, it doesn't matter whether the example is good or bad, I can talk about anything. Hell, just a few days ago I wrote up a analysis of Joel's mental framework from Last of Us in the gaming section. I had actually wanted to write more than I did on Joel, and then make another essay equally as long for Ellie. The only reason I did is because I had recently played LoU.
Uh....well, okay. I didn't mean that literally, but I can put my money where my mouth is.
I tend to stay away from talking about Bleach. Mainly because anytime it's in discussion somebody always comes in throwing shit everywhere because people like One Piece or Naruto better than Bleach. Every. Single. Time.

You don't want to see those pictures.
Part of me really wishes that Bleach had been anywhere near the level of either of these. Especially after enduring the entire series thus far.
I don't shit on Bleach because I like One Piece more. I shit on it, because it's badly written. In terms of shounen it's not even close to the top.

I mean that's fair, are you just interested in analysis for the sake of it? Or do you (want to) write yourself?
I stay away from Bleach because of Phoenician Viking, lol.

Wow I've been so busy lately that I haven't posted in this thread in a while...
anyway, I really enjoyed this chapter. That whole bit the the dragon drawing, and with robin got some chuckles from me lol, and zoro and law at the end too.
Interesting setup to the arc, I can only assume Kaidou's crew are the ones who have been destroying stuff, and Kanjuro and Kinemon are probably going to do something marginally important on their own before rejoining with the crew.
The Minks seem pretty cool, I wonder if they have some sort of natural ability, or if Carrot ate a devil fruit of some kind.
Also curious as to why that Mink is wearing Nami's clothes. I doubt that Nami was turned into a mink but I guess it's possible, but she probably just got captured or lost her clothes or something.

Both, though I have a bad tendency to only want to work with what I'm familiar. So, creating a world from the ground up is very difficult for me and instinctively want to work with established material, though I want to make my own fiction too. For example, even though it would never come to be, I plotted out a Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman TV series + movies + Justice League stuff just because I'm not happy with what DC is doing with the cinematic universe. Personally, I think that time and effort would ahve been better spent doing my own work, but I also really want to see very good and reallized versions of those characters, so I just had to get it out of my system.
I used to lurk the manga thread. Isn't he the guy that clinged to any excuse or reason to either praise bleach or throw OP under the bus?

ZOU! We doin' this!
Also I just wanna point out that there's a Lapin in the cover art, because you know. Lapins.
im dead lol
You only figured this out now?
There's a name I completely forgot about. Once the manga thread shifted focus a couple years back, I kinda bowed out.
Ah yeah that's who I was speaking of lol

Ohh okay that makes sense, I always assumed something like that from your posts.
As much as people seem to dislike you, it always came across as very critical analysis more so than shitposting to me.
Yeeeppp, he also accused ANYONE who was critical of Bleach of basically being an OP fanboy/troll whatever.
I actually find harsh criticism of something like OP absolutely fine, but Beam/PV basically did that while simultaneously acting like Bleach was the holy grail of perfection ,which is just hilarious.
He ran crying a few months ago when he was the only one in the thread who liked Kubo's shotty writing. I think that thread is now only people who dislike Bleach.
Veelk was probably only joking but yes he does need to retink his priorities

Veelk, personally I don't really care if you like One Piece or not, I don;t really want to push that discussion any further, but I was wondering if you could point to some series that you do like? I just think getting a feel for some of the series you are interested in (be it manga, comics, tv, whatever) might give some more insight into the analyses you make in this thread, and might help some people see where you're coming from in that regard.
Also, throwing back to that post a couple of weeks ago about Luffy, I finally got around to reading (most) of it, and I think that's a respectable opinion to have. Just to offer a quick response, I definitely do think Gon's sense of morality (I think it's called Blue and Orange morality?) would be an interesting thing to have been seen as part of Luffy's character, but I think that I like Luffy for a lot of the reasons that you don't. One Piece, for me anyway, is primarily a fun story, with very interesting world building, plot elements, and some god damned entertaining fights. I appreciate Luffy's character because I feel like he's the embodiment of the sense of adventure, in a way, and he's just an overall fun character to follow in a fun series. Now, that's not to say I don't thinkt hat Oda could have tweaked the characters themselves to be more interesting/dramatic/whatever else you would like to see in them, but I definitely think that Luffy, and most of the other characters in the series, have traits and personalities that fit into the world and story he's trying to create quite well.
I guess I really just like Luffy because I feel like he's the embodiment of the emotions and sense of adventure that Oda is trying to portray through his work? I hope that makes sense haha.
