My only experience with One Piece is listening to the "We Are" OP and seeing some t-shirts in UniQlo.

Some people might say you need to watch the series to enjoy them, but some of the movies stand out on their own. Movie 6 in particular was great even though I never watched an episode.

Yeah, I'm doing a watch bet with Cosmicblizzard, I'm watching One Piece and he's going to watch HeartCatch.

So you are watching 10 movies and over 500 episodes, while he is watching 49 episodes and 1 movie?

Seems fair.

In the previous years of TAF by the second day we sure saw off-screen recordings coming in droves (to shortly after be taken down, but whatever...), and now? Bah!

Considering it's Watanabe; it might not be a bad thing!
Exactly what I was thinking! For this, he leaving aside the character's typical slow assimilation into the story and tackling something more focused is mighty interesting.

outside of final routes in H-games, how often do the guys actually GET legit harem endings?
Other adult-rated media (novels and comics) do it also.
Wouldn't surprise me if some of those not-adult-rated-but-still-really-smutty comics do also, though I haven't read too many of those.
I read one (
Nonomiya Hikaru's Honeymoon Salad
) that had a trio ending (actually, technically it was multi-ending...), but that was only a triangle so not a "harem."

Could it be due to Ishihara?

The Light of El Cantare
One Piece episode 1

This is not a good episode. The writing is poor, the characters are annoying, and I do not like Oda's art style at all. Those stupid big grins everyone does are really annoying. ;_;

The first few arcs are a pain in the ass to get through, though if you stay with it long enough the events of the earliest episodes become amazing in retrospect due to......certain things. You'll almost be 50 episodes in before you know whether or not the show is for you, but try to keep at it, even if it's only an episode or two per day.

Should I get into Brave 10 or is it a waste of time?

It all depends on how much you hate yourself.

They must have been so focused on making sure this guy looked/sound/act crazy that they forgot how to compose a scene.

Still bugs me that weight has no impact on characters in this show; however, I enjoyed the photon cannon, I guess that makes me a bad person :(

Eh, it's only 43 episodes I have to watch, I can do this. :3
 
The Fujiko site has updated to apologize for the terrible handling of the Ustream event. They totally fucked up and ruined it for everyone online. They are planning to put a recorded version of the event online within a few days, but they cannot confirm a date yet. Lolz.

Bastards. At least they didn't balls it up completely and they recorded something... Thanks a lot for the link to the TAF booth tour video, it's a shame they didn't show the trailer. I keep checking YouTube in hope someone will put it up eventually. :X

Now and Later Ep.04

Sure I'll join your army, it's not like
you kidnapped me, are holding two girls and me hostage, tried to kill me multiple times, and tortured me.

Now and Later Ep.05

You've got to be kidding me!
They were right there, no one to stop them, he was hiding under a desk!
Seriously! It makes no sense! Ahhhhhhh!

*Deep breath*

That was so infuriating.

I kind of missed what happened with the stream. Did they have technical difficulties? Was anything visible at all?

Basically 12:30PM hit and the stream was still offline. After about twenty minutes a member of the chat gave us a link to a different address and the video was half working. Sound was very quiet and the picture kept cutting out every twenty seconds or so. Turns out the event had been going on the whole time, so when the stream finally did start working all we saw was a woman bowing and the audience getting up and leaving. Charlie Kosei and Yu Garden were also on stage showing off some artwork from the Master Files DVD. That was about it... big eff up from TMS.

Well...

I'd say they're off to a smashing start then!

Yeah, it was disappointing. Though I'm glad we get to see a hopefully better looking recording, instead of stream quality.

They say similar things about Gintama and I got through that pretty easily. Then again I liked the humour of the show so it wasn't that hard to eventually get through it all even if it probably took me a year.
