One Piece

[rasetsunyo]

I've finished marathoning the Water 7/Eines Lobby arc and it is epic. Shounen manga appears to benefit from being read in large quantities; I'm sure chasing the story chapter by chapter, week by week would have driven me quite mad. In any case tanks make good commuting reads -- handy size to hold, requires little brainpower to process -- although

Gorgeous, gorgeous art.

And yes. That arc rocks so hard it . . . causes spontaneous earthquakes. I've got hold of the DVDs of it which I will be showing an American friend in a couple of months, and I am already anticipating her choking noises.

(I know the manga is better. The manga is always better. The French translation of the manga is currently in the middle of it. But my friend does not read French.)

Thank you! :D

I stopped watching the anime long before W7. They aired the English dubs here a while back, and the voices drove me up the wall. The show itself seemed to capture the spirit of the manga reasonably well though.

That is very nice art indeed. I don't know One Piece very well, but that is pretty indeed.

[rasetsunyo]

Thanks! It's not actually done in One Piece style, I can't actually imitate Eiichiro Oda's style properly. Some people find Oda's style ugly, which I think is not strictly true; it just takes a little getting used to. But glad you like! :D

ah this is why i read my manga in batches, and watch my anime in batches.

Problem is once I finish all there is to finish I want more and I want it now! DD:

your art + one piece = YAY \*o*/

OH MAN I FREAKING CRIED TOO! Mostly when Lucci stabbed Paulie :( :( :( And when Franky got hit by the train? ;_; That arc was just insane.

[rasetsunyo]

eeeeeee thank you! :DDD

I think I cried most when Merry died. And yes Paulie and his flashbacks and ARGH LUCCI HOW COULD YOU DO THAT when Paulie was obviously crazy for you and even the frog has a backstory and gah. ;_;

Ooh ooh and I finally get to go through you Water 7 site! Man those are some insanely talented people you've got featured. :D

[tucuxi]

and even the frog has a backstory and gah

The frog's backstory managed to make me cry. How awesome is it when a minor character's backstory (much less a sumo-wrestling giant frog that fights trains!) can actually get to you?

[rasetsunyo]

Yes exactly!

[tifa767]

you have a very manly styel

[rasetsunyo]

I like drawing manly men! :D
