Board 8 > Shounen Anime & Manga Discussion Topic 4: Itadakimasu! OH OH KUGI PANCHI

(+) Yeah! (+)

So almost donw with YGO: Duel Monsters. Not gonna bother watching the later series anytime soon, but perhaps I'd watch that first short one and has never aired outside of Japan. Anyone know if it's any good?

Tempted to watch the Battle City arc. I've watched bits of it but never finished the whole thing.

Battle City is my favorite arc in the series.

Yeah. It's really sad that I've been watching the dubbed version of YGO. I found out pretty far into it that there's a big difference between the dub and the original series, and the original series just seems so much more awesome. Maybe I should read a bit about the animes before starting. Did the same thing with One Piece so I watched the first 30 episodes of it dubbed. Though I really didn't mind that, FUNimation have done well.

Now talking about One Piece. Zoro and Wiper just made the jack tilt for Luffy and Nami to get to Enel. Skypiea surely has been a long arc.

I've only seen Yu Gi Oh dubbed and it was good enough

I imagine subbed it's even better but whatever

Yeah pretty much same case with me. YGO is another show that 4kids tuned down like hell, to think that it was originally rated T for teen. But the dubbed version is at least pretty good as well.

And I'm not going through 224 episodes of the same story again.

filler or not, Urahara vs. Urahara is one of the sillier fights I've seen

Toriko is out. This manga. Opening a treasure chest. Wow just wow...

Damnnnnn Coco looks hot now.

Toriko would make such a good Monster Hunter spin off.

I would play a Toriko RPG.

Ippo's finally back after MS took a short hiatus from it for personal reasons

So they finally get down on the sea again. Of course the straw hats don't get to take a break, as they're spotted by marines right when they get down.

NEW TOP 20 ONE PIECE CHARACTERS RANKING!:

20 - Johnny (Too bad Yosaku you just missed it. With episode 135 I remembered how funny these two are, and Johnny was definetely the cooler one in that episode.)

19 - Enel (One badass villain with awesome design, and making that survival game? This man should be awarded.)

18 - Dorry (Laugh cracked me up every time, what a brave guy)

17 - Brogy (Laugh cracked me up every time, what a brave guy. He's above Dorry for his extra screentime when we thought Dorry was dead.)

16 - Wiper (This guy has one of the strongest will powers seen yet, he rocked the whole survival game for me, too bad that I'm doubting to see him again.)

15 - Buggy (Well Buggy is always great for a laugh and villain with humor are needed too, just wish he could actually find Luffy soon, I've been waiting since Lougetown.)

14 - Shanks (Loved him since episode 4, the few short scenes with him afterwards were great, but hope to see him in action soon.)

13 - Mihawk (Well yeah, loved the episode with him fighting Zoro, and he also had his badass attitude in the few other episodes that featured him.)

12 - Carue (Everyone's favorite crazy, scared, drinking fast and awesome duck.)

11 - Ace (Was goddaamn awesome when he was there, sadly it mostly seemed like filler, great filler that is though, I also loved how he acted on Buggys ship.)

10 - Mr. 2 Bon Kurei (Was hillarious in all his appearences, never thought he could display friendship like that though, just didn't see it coming, really hope to see him again.)

9 - Smoker (Badass awesome marine, and the marines usually suck, with a few decnt marines too. Also loved scene after Luffy ordered Zoro to save him.)

8 - Vivi (Her devolpment throughout the Alabasta arc was great, and she ended it with a scene that could have brought tears out of me hadn't it been for a spoiling opening.)

7 - Usopp (Still hillarious, but has lacked his top brave moments and good fights lately so he gets down a bit. Sorry dudes, but I hear he gets even better!)

6 - Robin (She's awesome to say the least, but it seems like we haven't seen all of her yet, so she's still an unexplored and interesting character.)

--

5 - Nami (Always goes up and down for me, mostly down cause of her lust for money. Improved when she preferred the lives of the straw hats over gold though. Her fight with Doublefinger was still best, but her actions in Skypiea really made me like her, as I haven't really since Arlong and her one big fight, with the latter lasting short.)

4 - Chopper (So goddamn adorable. I love how he's trying his best to be brave and show himself worthy to the crew. A bit disappointed in how long he remained unconscious after a single hit from Ohm though.)

3 - Sanji (Again lacked a good fight, but is awesome enough to stay high. His actions after he woke up and went up to save Nami along with Usopp rocked.)

2 - Luffy (First of all hillarious as hell. Secondly he brings awesome fights, he has some will power and I love it when he gives out his strong opinions about pirates, flag and dreams.)

1 - Zoro (My favorite fights has been his fights. Ever since episode 2 and 3, which was when I already knew that this was a show for me, I've loved Zoro. His has his funnny moments too, and his huge loyalty to Luffy and his decisions is definetely a plus too.)

Aww yeah Enel.

Finally getting to this week's Toriko episode

I'm so happy whenever Zonge shows up. I always think they're just throwing him in for filler as a quick laugh, but then when I go back and check the manga after each episode I see that he was there


All hail the great captain buggy

Gildarts literally the best character.

He's gonna really feel weird when he remembers his fantasies with the female guild members.

filler arc is filler

at least it's entertaining enough

Oh this is a filler arc? No wonder there's no marines I know. But yeah, I like this one way more than Warship Island.

to continue the Fairy Tail fanservice

this week's episode is when Lucy and Cana first took a bath together at the beginning of this arc

also going back to 50 chapters ago

http://www.mangareader.net/135-57514-18/fairy-tail/chapter-201.html


someone is going to die due to this dragon

based on the images it's probably going to be Gildartz, but what a twist if it's someone else

like Lucy

:D

http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

haha yeah as I read through the topic that came from I came to realize that


however the 7 year timeskip theory is also interesting!

--
http://i.imgur.com/A63VR.gif
http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png

I don't want a time skip mainly because it has always made shounen series worse for me.

--
http://myanimelist.net/animelist/swordz9

it's an interesting theory, but I doubt it because from the beginning of Fairy Tail to where it is now has only been 6 months time

to do a 7 year skip after only 6 months would be kind of extreme

plus Lucy would be saggy

They were near the end of Thriller Bark when I got caught up

it's been once a week ever since then

--
http://i.imgur.com/A63VR.gif
http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png

and if I recall they were just starting Thriller Bark when I started watching

It was the opening Jungle P that convinced me to start watching One Piece because I actually didn't know before then that One Piece had any fighting in it. For some reason I didn't think there was any and it was just about adventuring.

also one of the few times the japanese music video by the band that made the song was just as awesome as the One Piece opening was

which means it's almost time for me to finally catch up on the anime

Want to listen to more video game music every day?
Check out the VGMusicoftheDay Youtube Channel sometime!

I just started watching it one day along with YGO, as I thought "These two are shows, everyone should at least give a shot." After episode 1 I thought "This show seems alright" After episode 2 I thought "Whoa this is really good!" After episode 3 I thought "This is goddamn awesome!" After episode 4 I was already convinced that I'd watch all of it.

--

back when I was catching up and Naruto and then Bleach before that, I always avoided it because it looked weird and it was so long

what an idiot I was

biggest regret of my life is not watching One Piece sooner

and I was already hooked 5 minutes into the first episode when Luffy bust out of the barrel and knocked out the two guys after Coby

http://www.yourgamercards.net/trophy/a/CaptainRockman.png

AARRGGH IIIIIIII SLEEEEEPT SOOOOOOOO GREEEAAAAAT!!!

That rocked. But I remember Coby annoyed me a bit the first episode. Probably because he just took time from Luffy, who was far more interesting there, as I knew nothing about him yet.

I also remember I was a bit confused at first, cause I searched for the english opening on youtube, and got to the 4kids rap thing, then when I started watching a much better opening was there.
