Well I saw this video about pixel art (I don't remember wich one it was), just another art style that's evolving...
I like One Piece up to the latest chapters I guess and it's still one of my favorite shounen anime but I eventually got bored. Oda has a good way of storytelling and transmitting a certain feeling the the audience, unfortunately he is using the same old recipe over and over and you can only take so much of that. I would go as far as calling it a masterpiece if he would go out his way and break the norm, like do something in a different way. As it currently is, it's still far too predictable despite his best efforts to add some plots and twists to it, still shounen to the core lol. If I was to write a story, I'd make it predictable, then when the audience got used to it, I would do something outrageous and out of character, then change the mood again but make it predictable... etc. Of course most shows don't need this, they're perfect the way they are but at such a long running show, I'd say you have alot of options on the table, especially when you are so invested and the characters are so developed which would make the impact a lot more striking. so you can see my problem with it! (maybe I'm getting old)
Well one of my friends doesn't like One piece because he doesn't like it, well it's not really his thing, he just likes anything that looks cool, doesn't matter how bad it is. He's so one dimensional
pretty much, your typical extrovert. He even uses male character in games because he finds it silly to be a female character. Of course he must not feel the need for that since he has alot of gf and he sees females in a linear fashion on the production line... stereotype what can I say. Oh right he's not my friend anymore!
Well I can partially understand Steph, she cars alot for what she believes in so she'll defend to the last point. You can't be all understanding/accepting either. If you don't like something or someone, just don't b around them. I like to believe I'm one of those people that cares about personal growth and doesn't like to be feed with bs of others but at the same time understanding those people from a
safe distance without getting involved in their circle. Because you know everyone has to grow, by themselves. Nothing in this world is worth hurting yourself, unless you see the value behind it yourself!
