I know I said I'd have that Kekkaishi post up soon. This is not it. This is a ramble on One Piece instead.

So. Mostly within the past week, I devoured the One Piece manga. I finished catching up on...Friday, I think? And had a lot to say about it, but I thought I'd give it a few days before making an entry to allow myself to calm down and be more

The anime is SO good. They just did such a good job with...well, EVERYTHING. The seiyuus are perfect, the fighting is smooth, the timing is good - like, there's really not TOO much stretching done within the arcs. And even most of the filler is pretty decent! It's a really fun time all around! I think with the dragging, it's more like...if I want someone else to watch the series, it's like you said, I remember all this EPIC stuff that happens later and I'm like KASLJDHA THEY'LL LOVE IT IF THEY JUST GET TO THAT - and then I remember they have to get through the beginning and collect all the crew members first and stuff. Because I've seen more than a few people drop it pretty early in, and then pick it up later and love it. Possibly I just need to have more faith in people, though. *I* enjoyed the beginning, WHY WOULDN'T THEY?

Oh god. YESSS. There are so many little things that keep cropping up that you think don't really mean anything and then SUDDENLY THEY DO. Oda is AMAZING like that, it's one of the things that boggles me every time. He's such a good storyteller and pays so much attention to detail. The Going Merry being fixed, like you said, the paper Ace gave Luffy, LABOON'S ENTIRE STORY KLJASDAS. Did you know that Raleigh first showed up in Buggy's flashback like A MILLION CHAPTERS AGO?? And now I'm beginning to wonder about this disease Gold Roger had, because it's like the third time someone in the series has died from something like that. Which could mean nothing, BUT WITH ODA YOU NEVER KNOW! God, he just blows my mind. *______*
