get the best of both worlds with one piece :D
Proceeds to scream over several episodes
Yeah the excessive monologuing and several episodes of no action whatsoever pissed 5-year-old me off so bad.
One Punch Man and Sakamoto Days have eased that itch for ridiculously dumb and fun fight scenes without having to wait six episodes in between each one.
That is an issue of the original anime. They had to pad it a lot cause the Manga was still being drawn and they needed to give him more time to do it. Dragonball Kai fixes that and cuts out over 100 episodes in total length. It’s actually great if you want to give it a second chance. Pacing is SO MUCH better.
Abridged ftw
yeah one punch man is great, idk about sakamoto days tho, i might watch it (though i probably wont since i’ll just forget about it)
I’ve been watching the “Kai” version which cuts out the bulk of the powering up… there’s still a lot
my hero academia remains the most tolerable shounen i’ve seen since it minimizes the bullshit like this, if they scream it’s generally a situation that calls for screaming (and implied to be way shorter than what’s shown) and if they shout the name of a move it’s because they’ve got fuckin tape elbows or whatever and they’re proud of coming up with a way to make use of that to stop people from dying.
I really like the way power ups were handled in Demon Slayer, it felt much more ‘earned’ and it was nice to see the consequences of ‘powering up’ requiring the characters to go through major recovery each time
making a character suffer in order to get a power up is really such a trivially simple and reliable way to make things feel earned and it’s kinda baffling it’s not used more/better
it’s like the hero’s journey and other writing tools, it’s predictable but nonetheless it just fucking works.
I’m a sucker for an OP protagonist. I love Solo Leveling. Reincarnated as a Slime has some good moments. And of course DBZ is great.
OP protagonists who thinks they’re weak has gotta be one of my favorite tropes. My Hero Academia, Demon Slayer, and Overlord (although I haven’t finished that one) are all solid
You’re gonna love “I parry everything” it’s this trope done to perfection
Only 12 episodes? I’ll be binging this for this weekend. The title alone has me hooked.
The full title for the light novel is “I parry everything: What do you mean I’m the strongest? I’m not even an adventurer yet!”
I have a feeling you’re gonna love it, it really hit the spot for me. Some people find the “OP but doesn’t know it” thing annoying but for me it made it so much better. Looking forward to your review
Yuu Yuu Hakusho does both incredibly well.
Also: Hokuto no Ken, the 80s version. Other action animes can’t hold a candle to Kenshiro.
One day the HxH manga will conclude… I’d be amazing to the the rest animated eventually as well
One day…
Never give up, have faith in Togashi 🙏
Agree, and glad at least YYH got love after that live action reboot hit. Also I no longer hide my cheesy love of that fucking YYH theme song.
Added fun fact, the manga artist creator of YYH married the artist of Sailor Moon, who even helped him a little with Hunter x Hunter. Lol
YYH is great. I gotta give that a watch again
one piece of what?
One piece of deez…you know what? Nevermind.
One piece of my ass!! Wait…
you forgot to reinforce the seats again?!
Mob Psycho 100 is the best of both worlds
This captures my everything while shitting on the toilet.
