Yeah it's mostly just a training arc with the addition of slightly nicer Genkai.
Greed Island is the best arc of HxH.
In all fairness Gon is easier to deal with than Yusuke. Now Killua on the other hand brings the Genkai out of Bisky.The only difference between Genkai and Bisky is Bisky doesn't take every opportunity to verbally smash her students
It's a thing because Ian JQ thinks it's cool. No more reason needed.Putting aside that this is awesome, why is this even a thing? Bringing back Captain Planet is so random. Kudos on them for bringing back the original VAs. Is the reason just Kwame and the Captain are back is because only their VAs could return?
I wonder if there would be value in bringing back Captain Planet as a show? Maybe in a more nuanced/less ham-fisted kind of way but still faithful to the tone and themes of the original.
And weakest. At least Kurama and Hiei get shit done.The only opinion that matters is that Kuwabara is best bro

Usopp from One Piece? I know nothing about OP. Also Krillin at least married well.Being best bro doesn't require you to be the strongest...just look at Krillin or Usopp

With a poorly paced anime. I can't even filler guide that shit.I'll have you know that One Piece is the best shonen of all time
I don't wanna.Filler guide:
Read the comic
I don't wanna.
Sure then opWouldn't it just be quicker to read My Hero Academia? I don't have 90 years to devote to a manga.
But there are like 6 billion OP chapters...how long does it take to read a manga chapter, like a chapter of one piece takes me 5-10 minutes to read
Yeah I think MHA is after I finish Jojo, still have to deal with Parts 7 and 8. I also want to buy Black Lagoon and read it.Sure then op
But jojo I guess
Then op

But I like how batshit the characters/fights are and I read it because the anime got me into it. I oddly don't read a lot of mangas unless the anime got me interested in the property.if you've got time to read JoJo then one piece should be no problem....

tbh, brilliant as it is, One Piece has some pretty severe flaws that are hard to ignore.
Like e.g., pretty much anything Oda writes involving women. I know that's something people argue rather vehemently about, but to me, it's gotten so bad. There's a ton of issues like that, where Oda leans too much into tropes and stereotypes, and they've started to really bring down the series.
It's still one of the best shounens around. But it's never going to be the best with the issues it has.
I don't wanna.
Yeah, the FMA manga is a much better contender to the throne, at least for battle shounen.Let's all be honest with ourselves here: Fullmetal Alchemist is the best shonen, either in manga or anime form.

I super disagree. Like, really hard. Oda's literally the archetype of "middle aged Japanese dude who barely understands women" in my head. I might be biased because I read a lot of seinen, but One Piece is in the pits of how women are written in manga. Something like Naruto might be worse, but that's not saying much.
The women have a lot of body types, sure, but they're still all easily categorized into "exaggerated curves" or "hideously ugly". Sure, some of them are giants, or whatever, but there's nothing approaching the variety of body types that the men have. And worse, the camera is incredibly male gaze in a really fanservice-y way. It's pretty obvious why, but it's not something I like. (And that alone would dethrone Oda as someone who has the most respect for female characters, honestly.)
But that's not the only issue, the broader issue is that nearly everything involving women in One Piece is a stereotype. Nami and Robin are the principal exceptions, but even they get treated badly with the way Oda actively doesn't allow them to fight. The most recent arc seemed like it'd finally get better about this, but nope, Oda drove right into stereotype zone. Even Dressrosa leaned hard into a damsel-in-distress stereotype and a really awful costume, even if it made no logical sense.
And it's only gotten worse since the timeskip, with Oda leaning hard into stereotypes with almost everything. I suspect his health issues play a role in this, but still, ugh.
Yeah, the FMA manga is a much better contender to the throne, at least for battle shounen.
(And needless to say, it writes women infinitely better than One Piece.)
When it comes to the current arc, I'm gonna have to strongly disagree sinceBig Mom is one of the most fully realized, multifaceted characters in the story and Nami has had the amplest involvement in a story arc in a loooong time. Even Pudding, for how decisive the community is on her, bucks and twists the common innocent damsel stereotype.
While FMA better utilized the female characters, it had its fair share of issues with Winry and Hawkeye playing a less active role in the plot in the second half.
That's more to do with them not being Alchemists (or an Armstrong) as the other ladies in FMA are all getting work done in the endgame.When it comes to the current arc, I'm gonna have to strongly disagree sinceBig Mom is one of the most fully realized, multifaceted characters in the story and Nami has had the amplest involvement in a story arc in a loooong time.

I can't recall May or Lan Fan doing anything of significance in the final fight against Father.
Fair enough, butWhen it comes to the current arc, I'm gonna have to strongly disagree sinceBig Mom is one of the most fully realized, multifaceted characters in the story, Chiffon is contributing to the climax, Nami has had the amplest involvement in a story arc in a loooong time. Even Pudding, for how decisive the community is on her, bucks and twists the common innocent damsel stereotype.
That's more an issue with their characters specifically rather than the women in general, since plenty of other female characters get to put their work in.While FMA better utilized the female characters, it had its fair share of issues with Winry and Hawkeye playing a less active role in the plot in the second half.
Granted, I'm basing this off of Brotherhood since I haven't read the manga to completion.
More people watched Bebop over Outlaw Star?
MORE PEOPLE WATCHED AOT2 OVER BEBOP?!
It's because of May, Al is able to sacrifice himself to restore Ed arm.
May also helps with the group when Father stopped Alchemy usage
Fair enough, butI had really high hopes for Big Mom and Pudding, but I'm really disappointed in the direction it's taking. Big Mom's still pretty good, and yeah, Nami's gotten a better deal than usual, but it's still pretty rough and leans far too much into Oda's conservative ideas, it's not as good as I'd hoped.
Still, One Piece has done it so horribly that it's going to take a a lot better than the most recent arc for me to be okay with it. I don't have enough faith in Oda to be confident that it's a long-term improvement.
She helped, but most of that was on Alphonse since it was his idea.
I can only speak for myself, but the direction Pudding is going in is more interesting and lends itself towards more possibilities than her just being plain old evil or plain old good.
I also don't believe One Piece has treated its main heroines as badly as Sakura or Orihime. Even minor characters like Rebecca or Tashigi are victims of circumstance and being pre-defined by the fanbase.
Looking back in hindsight shows that the mountains really are just molehills.
Pretty sure he meant a live-action Cowboy Bebop. Also, the movie is no more non-canon than the rest of the episodes unrelated to the main plot (which is most of them).It's not that bad. It's non-canonish but does fit in between two episodes.
Yeah the only thing ever hyped about Rebecca was her dodging ability and Tashigi was never presented to be on the same level as Zoro, I'm still waiting for Tashigi to be revealed to be Kunia with amnesia and suddenly stronger than Zoro when she gets her memory back
