@kijuler @g3ochrome The pages have gotten extremely dense to cram as much into each chapter as possible. So while it doesn’t fully fill up 20 minute run time, slightly easier than most manga.

@g3ochrome Ok but one piece manga is weekly right? There's no way there's enough shit in a single chapter to have an entire 25 minute episode on Are the chapters longer than I expected or do they just make bullshit for the runtime?

Genuinely what the fuck is with one piece how is 1180 chapters around 1000 episodes while Jojo part 1-6 are at 190 with around 700 chapters I didn't know the anime pacing was this bad

Vibe.

What???

@Mamone_1 But on that note, yes, of course it’s not a love triangle story.

@Mamone_1 Why not? There can be 1000000 different complexities of politics, betrayals, history and murders. Still there could also be a love triangle that exists as a thing. Making it a love triangle story due to those circumstances existing.

Roger wouldn't have said this if it was a love triangle story

@unr1pegir1 That’s why she said this.

I respectfully disagree. The argument that once things are free, ppl wld no longer support legitimate versions, is just untrue. Many ppl started collecting, me including, BCS of piracy. Film proves this. Even w piracy existing ppl have shown that they WANT to go to the cinema.

I'd be completely fine with FFXIV delaying the release of 9.0 for the sake up doing a Realm Reborn rework. A proper one.

@k_wdlr @Dexerto Archiving manga that prints millions of copies, and is in public libraries everywhere, and released on ebook is an issue? Archiving or keeping dead media alive isn’t even relevant in this case. More for anime or games, but this isn’t a part of the discussion here

@Dexerto She just misunderstood the why this discussion even started just like millions of other japanese people. It's about archiving/keeping dead media alive. Why do they never bring up the fact that the west accounts for 55-60% of anime revenue and the majority of gaming revenue?

Gachiakuta's creator says piracy does harm the manga industry, pushing back on claims from global readers “For many people, pirate sites are the only way they can read manga ... Once people grow used to getting something for free, they stop looking [for] legitimate versions”

@ErynRico Reading the replies, I gather it’s about raiding. I do the raids, as many as possible, but I don’t even understand half the words used here.

@ErynRico I play FF14 a lot, like a significant significant amount, but I don’t know what any of this means at all. I play a different game where I just play and have fun. And don’t even understand what parsing means, nor have any concept of why a higher number is better, or in what.

@TheKrigeron @meovvgumi Not really everyone else. Hinata is pretty amazing he’s not THE best character, but he’s Top 3-5 of an incredibly incredibly stacked cast.

@TheGuuruGuru @meovvgumi Hinata is cool but everyone else is much more interesting

you don’t realize how boring shonen protagonists can be till you start watching sports animes

LET'S FKING GO. It actually happened, lmao. I was sure it was a lost cause.

@Seorihaneul @Aleczandxr Not really a hot take in 2026 at least.

@Aleczandxr It might be a hot take, but to me the ending of re is amazing. Ok, it's a little bit rushed, but it's still such a great and powerful ending!

Tokyo Ghoul :re readthrough is so close I can taste it..

@FilthyRamenKing @newworldartur I genuinely think it's one of the most important things they could do to the game. A genuine proper rework.

@TheGuuruGuru @newworldartur I think the devs have said that the amount of work required, would be very close as to making a whole new expansion. In turn delaying the next one. I believe its still worth at least somewhat, having the game be good from the start is important for getting and keeping new players

Since my last tweet got a lot of traction, here's some scattered thoughts thus far on Final Fantasy XIV A Realm Reborn for those interested: - For all the praises I can sing the game now, the first half of ARR really is an absolute slog. Not only does it take a lot of time for the gameplay to start being challenging and interesting, but I was so astounded by how messy the writing was that I was almost wondering if I was being gaslit. Plot is a barebones "beat the evil empire" while giving no depth or relationships to any of the characters, I honestly struggled to even remember the names of half the scions at first because I was so detached. I feel One Piece also takes a while to pick up at first but the contrast is much stronger here - Second half (postgame) changes this so quickly it almost gave me whiplash, but it's great to finally see the characters actually develop with proper arcs and delving into the politics and worldbuilding more seriously. Happy that like One Piece, it's willing to go into complex topics like immigration or corruption with a lot of nuance. The increase in writing quality made a lot of the grind much more tolerable by comparison, to the point I didn't mind the filler bits as much! - Went with Arcanist (later Summoner/Scholar) which is fun but very punishing class to start with since you're basically spamming 1 while standing still. Want to try more classes (did a bit of Marauder/Lancer/Dark Knight) but it's quite the miserable grind to level up any other side jobs without level skipping - The sheer variety in musical tracks is legitimately stunning, this is such a good example of tracks being both atmospheric but iconic. Favorite tracks include: · To The Sun (Thanalan field theme) · Serenity (Black Shroud field theme) · A Sailor Never Sleeps (Limsa night theme) · Under the Weight (Titan boss theme) · Ultima Weapon · Answers (Main Theme/final boss theme for Bahamut) - Favorite characters thus far: · Tataru (my goat) · Alphinaud (basically one of the few to really get extensive development so far) · Thancred (is literally just Sanji) · Yugiri (always comes in clutch) · The dynamic with Raubahn and Namo was great too - Favorite Arcs: S: Before the Fall A: Coils of Bahamut, Through the Maelstrom B: Defenders of Eorzea, A Realm Awoken, Crystal Tower C: A Realm Reborn (base game) The beginning was legitimately really difficult to get through, but everything since the second half has only been going up, and even if the place is slow I'm learning to enjoy the journey. Looking forward to more!

@newworldartur It's also difficult to address too much without changing stuff, and they've efficiently built a lot of the later story around elements that they can't change (and shouldn't). And how do you tackle changes without stepping on positive core memories hidden within the slog.

@newworldartur Yeah. And it's crazy how it's a slog AFTER they've trimmed soooo much fat from what it released like originally. People have been hoping that it'll receive further touch ups like every major update cycle. But I think it's so fundamentally a slog that the work would be massive.

@meovvgumi I ran out of space for amazing Shonen sports MCs, but there's more. I feel like what Shonen Sports manga are best known for is: Great Characters. That's people's main interest in why they often favor Shonen sports manga over other Shonen. They're usually so character driven.

@meovvgumi Hinata? (Haikyu) Ippo? (Ippo) Sakuragi? (Slam Dunk) Kakeru (RWTW) Joe Yabuki? (Ashita no Joe) GORO SHIGENO?[The GOAT] (Major) Sawamura? (Ace of Diamond) [Questionable] Ryoma (Prince of Tennis) [...is kinda boring as a character compared to the rest... Tho Rule of Cool awesome]

@Mogeko_bunn_sin Yeah yeah. That's not really a thing I'm questioning. I don't know if it starts immediately following the end of the anime. But we know the arc is coming.

@TheGuuruGuru We sure 'Hell arc is one thing which we'll obviously get'? I kinda feel unsure if Hell arc is going to happen once the anime is done.

Kubo is cooking so much I feel like once the final cour of TYBW drops, we'll be overloaded with Kubo, lol. Hell arc is one thing which we'll obviously get. But do people remember Burn the Witch manga (season 2) was revealed to be 'Coming Soon', back in 2020? Kubo cooking.
