No, I stopped watching sometime during Punk Hazard and picked up the manga instead. And then I stopped reading because I'm a terrible at keeping up with ongoing stuff. I keep telling myself to finish/catch up with things I've already started, but I just keep starting new stuff instead. I really need to get back into One Piece though.

Oh man, yeah!! I literally skip everyone else's chapters aside from Chitoge's because I just count everyone else as fanservice.. Marie? Marika? I don't really know, I only watched a few episodes and the anime is kinda fast paced so I'll probably watch it later on (or not). I really love Chitoge and she makes up the whole series for me. Onodera is cute too but I'm not really into their type of love story, I'm more into bickering couple... haha..
and hmm, there's really nothing much to spoil except the fact that the chapters right now are crap because there's literally no story anymore, it's turning into a total harem manga where it's a different girl every chapter, not like when it was Chitoge's birthday when she got a lot of scenes/chapters. And well, I don't see it having a potential at the moment but I hope it gets back on its track. If you catch up to the anime/it ends, let me know if you wanna read it so we can talk lots more.
If you end up not wanting to read it and still want to know what happens, you can just let me know and I'll summarize it for you if you're a little curious.Okay, so you got to Punk Hazard Arc? Oh man, the manga is much better in terms of their reaction and everything (and Toei is doing a terrible job with their faces/art/and just expressions in general), but it's still worth it. I stopped watching it ever since Dressrosa arc but I still watch sometimes because my cousins watch it, and the adaptation is actually pretty good. I also suck at keeping up with ongoing stuff, like right now the only ones I actually catch up to is One Piece and Fairy Tail (manga I haven't even seen the anime LOL), but One Piece Dressrosa Arc is a must see/READ! It's SO MUCH. Have you been spoiled yet?! It's definitely one of the best arcs SO FAR, it's definitely up there with Water 7/Enies Lobby and Marineford Arc. So read it when you can and omg stay away from spoilers as much as possible!!
AHH I'm so sorry this got so long, I just can't stop when talking about One Piece...
The beginning of the anime was really great and I was really impressed with how well it was done, especially since Toei isn't always the greatest with anime adaptions, but that didn't last. They just stretch out the chapters so much. I started the Dressrosa arc but stopped before much happened, but even reading the beginning I definitely felt like it was going to be a great arc. I've been trying to avoid spoilers, but since I follow a few One Piece blogs on tumblr I did end up getting spoiled a bit. I tried not to pay attention too much though.
Yeah, I kinda don't wanna blame them because maybe they don't have enough time to animate either? I mean, the anime is catching up to the manga SO MUCH. I kinda thought they were gonna put the anime on hiatus after Punk Hazard Arc so the manga could progress a bit more, at least few arcs away, but wow, they continued it. And yeah! Dressrosa is great, there's not been a single chapter I didn't like, oh my god. The characters are amazing, and Doflamingo is fricking beast and UGH I CANT STOP FALLING IN LOVE WITH OP CHARACTERS!!!! Okay, I'll stop before I spoil you haha, uhm, you have a OP blog? :0
But damn, that fricking sucks... I hope you didn't get spoiled about the biggest thing that happened, but I doubt you didn't.. Everyone in the fandom must've reblogged something about it. D:

I'd rather they just do filler or take a break or something. I mean filler sucks but at least you can skip it if you don't want to watch it instead of ruining the quality of every episode by dragging them out. Art and animation quality have definitely gone downhill too though. Nah, I don't have an OP blog, I just occasionally reblog OP stuff. Although I unfollowed most of the OP blogs temporarily just to avoid any more spoilers. Yeah, I was spoiled by the biggest thing that happened (unless something even bigger happened since then) but I don't mind too much. It's a constant reminder that I NEED to pick it back up. I might do that now, since talking about it has made me want to read it.
my exact damn thoughts omg. They did have a mini filler right after Punk Hazard Arc but it was only like 5 episodes, not like before where they did at least 10-15 episodes and actually made sense. The filler there was more of a fanservice with Law, which I didn't hate tbh, but I just didn't watch. The latest animation has been total crap, and I'm sorry but it's not even 'ugly'. It's the expressions that piss me off a lot. Like what I love about the manga is how their reaction/face/laugh looks like, but in the anime they just kinda bs'd it.. But oh well, at least they're trying... Bartolomeo looks awesome in the anime though.
Oh I see. I love the OP fandom on tumblr a lot. I don't think I would see One Piece this way if it wasn't for them and everyone's extremely nice there and really talented! I hope you find your way back to following them again
And man, I can imagine what it is, I'm sorry. Did you expect it? Wait, tell me what you got spoiled about please! (put it under spoiler box) thanks!Anyway, I'm glad you're gonna pick it up hehehe, it's gonna be amazing! Characters are gonna be amazing, the strawhats, monster trio, weak trio, law, doffy, his family, issho, and man, literally everyone!!!!! have fun

The animation is just poor overall and it's disappointing because it was great at first. Everything about the anime was great at first. At least I was prepared going into the anime though, since it was already at around episode 600 when I started.
I've had some bad experiences with the OP fandom before. Not personally, but I'd see things that put me off for a long time. Thankfully everyone I've seen on tumblr has been great. It's a lot different from most of the fandoms I'm used to though since it's just so huge.
Sabo
Yeah I'm gonna start from the beginning of the Dressrosa arc again since I can't remember where I left off at all. Right after I read the most recent chapter of Toriko since I've been putting that off for a few days too.

The animation was really good at first, I love how they portrayed Luffy's expression and Zoro's, and I must say, the OSTs are also A++ and made it 100% badass, and tbh, I thought it was gonna be great especially after the timeskip, just like how Oda's art improved, I thought they would improve the animation too, but nO, it became indecent overall. But I still love it, I'm not complaining as much as I've seen other people complain. Hey, talking about this reminds me of 4kids, now that's **** quality, it's sad that it's funny and I'm sorry.
Woah, I'm sorry that happened to you! Wait, OP fandom in general? Or tumblr? In general (One Piece/Anime forums), I agree, people are too hardcore about One Piece and they want so much theories and evidence for every little crap that it got on my nerves so I tend to stay away from those. But OP fandom on tumblr is amazing, especially Furanky and Usoapp (you might know them, they're one of the biggest on there), and I don't know, there are just so much and they're all very friendly. And they even made an OP positivity blog just because. Like other fandoms started positivity blogs because of all the hate going on, but OP pos blog started just because they want to make others happy and feel appreciated, which I swear is one of the best thing this fandom has ever done. Ok, I'm sorry I'm a total nerd about it so I'll shut up about it haha.
Well, ****. I literally just.. I'm so sorry. (More reactions to below post)
DUDE YEAH. I was so confused too! I wasn't home the whole day and didn't have time to read the chapter but I went on tumblr and my dash-- pager per page was so full of " ????! is that you???!" and I just... I ended up crying so much without even reading yet. I just stared at the screen, it was the most unexpected thing to happen.
did you expect him to be alive? there's been countless of arguments whether he was alive or not way back. I actually believed he was alive, that part when Dragon came back to Iva that one night talking about treating a wound, and the three sake at Ace's grave. I just didn't think he'd show up so soon. He'd show up NOW. That caught me off guard. And not only that, Koala too!!! I love Koala a lot, and I'm fricking happy at all the glory Oda is putting here. I love the man
Hahaha oh man really? I actually wanna re-read because it's different reading everything in one sitting rather than waiting weekly for new chapters, I mean the feels from last chapter is gone by the next chapter you read, you know? So yeah, I'll probably re-read it in a few weeks when my schedule loosen up. :]
Ahhh I'm not caught up on Toriko. At all. I don't know if I'll pick it up soon, I recently got hooked on Gintama and Gundam hahahaha.
Anyway, this has gotten super long, sorry. You don't have to reply anymore, or you can shorten it as much as possible, I won't mind. Thanks for talking to me about it though <3
The OST is amazing, I agree. Yeah, post-timeskip is where things really went downhill. Punk Hazard wasn't exactly my favorite arc either, so that didn't help things. I might watch some of the anime later if I get bored, but I'm just gonna stick to the manga for now. I never watched much of the 4kids dub when I was a kid but Sanji's voice still haunts me. Sometimes when I'm reading the manga that's all I can hear and I have to force myself to remember what Sanji actually sounds like.
Yeah on anime forums people were super hardcore about it and it really made me not want to get into the series for a while. Furanky is one of the blogs I was following. I plan on following more once I get caught up again.
I was hoping he was alive, but everyone had sad backstories so I wasn't really expecting it. It was such a shock when I actually saw it and even now there's a part of me that's like, is this some kind of huge elaborate joke or something? I think need to read it for it to really sink in.
Yeah, and especially with such short chapters, there's really not a whole lot to get out of one chapter sometimes, and I have a terrible memory so half the time I don't even remember what happened in the last chapter.
I'm really only reading Toriko because it's one of the few things I've been able to keep up with weekly... well, kind of. I did recently take a break because the recent chapters have been kind of disappointing for me. Gintama is great but I still have to finish it. I was actually going to a while back and somehow ended up starting like three new anime instead, whoops.
It's fine. Most of the people I know have different taste in anime than I do so when I find someone who likes the same stuff I do I can go on for a while.
Punk Hazard wasn't my favorite, it wasn't that great, it wasn't boring either. I really loved Monet and Vergo's character and their loyalty to Doflamingo. I also began to like Tashigi, which I hated SO MUCH before the time skip. And I'm planning to do the same, the anime is on hold, maybe I'll let this arc finish first so I can watch in one sitting or something. AND LMAO I tried looking it up on youtube because I forgot how they sound like anymore but I couldn't find any
BUT LOL!Oh man, yeah, I don't really go on One Piece section when I go on anime forums, when I do, I only go on like Favorite this and that, but sometimes that too gets too out of hand. Like they downplay characters so much and over rate others, and I don't know, they just have the craziest ideas about OP I'm not exactly into.
MAN it's not even like that at all.. Sometimes... Sometimes I also still question it, is he really alive? :'( I still can't believe it either and I've re-read the panel a lot.. and it still hasn't hit me. And just talking about it makes me cry too. And that was the amazing part, I guess Luffy's sad backstory is actually Ace after all. Part of it was Sabo when he thought he was dead, I mean he did feel the sadness so that counted, and Ace just doubled the pain for him. And Sabo may be alive now but Luffy (and Ace) still felt that pain. They still had that sad backstory. I really love Sabo, and I'm starting to even more with this arc. And it makes me wanna re-watch the little sabo scenes TToTT
hahahaah sometimes me too, that's why weekly thing is bad news... but it doesn't happen to me with One Piece. Happens to me to some like fairy tail or SNK, nisekoi, etc. but you can read up to whatever you feel will leave an impact on you that won't make you forget and then pause for a while, just to have a little gist of it, and the continue when the arc ends. But tbh, I don't think you'll wanna stop in the middle of dressrosa hahahaha... I can't... wait for the new chapter... My week always feels so long..
I only started Toriko because it did a crossover with One Piece and DBZ and it caught my attention, I read a few and watched a few, but never picked it up because I got a long list of what I've been wanting to D: And Gintama, I don't know man, hahahahaha sometimes I'm just like, "Err, is this serious?" LOL I can't take it seriously. What other anime?
And yeah me too... It's really rare for me to talk about it like this, because like I said, I really don't like going on OP sections with anime forums because they talk about things I don't wanna talk about or not really interested in. Like those people will argue with you for one little thing you do and will have crapload of list of evidence to prove their point like uhm ok i'm sorry i ever came here?

Same. Monet and Vergo were great. I'm not a big fan of Tashigi. I felt like she had a lot of potential when she first showed up, but it just doesn't seem like she's grown much as a character. I like Smoker a lot though. That's what I'm planning on doing, just watching one arc at a time. I saw some videos a little while ago and still can't remember how anyone but Sanji sounds. Sanji's 4kids voice will haunt me for the rest of my life.Punk Hazard wasn't my favorite, it wasn't that great, it wasn't boring either.

I've just seen so many arguments start over little things and people get so heated about One Piece like calm down. Debates are fine and all but no need to get so angry.
I just keep thinking about how Sabo's back but now Ace is dead and that makes me really sad. Like it would've been so great if they could have all seen each other again but that can never happen now. Man I'm not even at that part yet and I'm already feelin it hard.
It happens to me all the time with One Piece, which is why I've had such a hard time keeping up with it. But I'm gonna try this time. Since I've been doing a good job of keeping up with Toriko, I'll use that as a reminder to read One Piece.hahahaah sometimes me too, that's why weekly thing is bad news... but it doesn't happen to me with One Piece.

I love Toriko so much. I picked it up shortly after it came out, and then picked it back up because someone I follow on tumblr reads it and I've been keeping up with it since. It's one of my favorite manga. Gintama never ceases to amaze me. I finished Futari wa Precure a little while ago and started the sequel, and I've also started Giant Killing, plus I have a few ongoing anime that I'm watching and before that I was watching Kaleido Star even though I've been saying all this time that I was going to pick Gintama back up. I don't think any of those were actually things on my list to watch either. I completely ignore my 100+ list of anime to watch and find something completely new instead.
Yeah even when I look up stuff about One Piece I always come across forums and everyone just seems so hostile. I'd rather stick to tumblr since everyone I've talked to there about One Piece is nice enough.
farobi this is porn
The most recent anime I watched was Fate Zero and by far it is probably one of the best animes I have ever watched. I tried watching the sequel Fate Stay Night and it wasn't good in my opinion so I stopped, but I heard they are making a remake so hopefully the new Fate Stay Night will be on par with Fate Zero. I highly recommend Fate Zero; it has awesome animations, epic fight scenes, and a good story line.
Basically it is about 7 mages who summon 7 servants (famous historical figures with high combat abilities) to fight in a war for the Holy Grail. They each fight/kill each other to obtain this item due to it's ability to grant wishes and each has a different reason for wanting the grail.

I watched One Piece when I was so young I named my fish Orange Roger because he was orange instead of Golden.

Sword Art Online was horrible. I stopped after episode 10. I love Asuna, just that it became ecchi after episode ten. Trust me, you made a good choice.
Also if you want to go into detail about "what happened" with "you know the two". You can always read chapter 16.5 online which I only recommend for users who are mature or 18+.
I don't plan on watching Gungale either.

I'm waiting for 2nd season of Attack on Titan, I'm watching Hunter x Hunter, Yozakura Quartet (Hana no Uta), just catching up on Kuroko no Basket/Kuroko no Basuke/Kuroko's Basketball. I've watched a few episodes of Naruto, Death Note, Bleach, One Piece and Magi. Want to watch Prince of Tennis, Ping Pong the Animation (I have a thing with sports anime), Angel Beats, Black Bullet, Darker than Black and Fairy Tail. I'm sure I want to watch way more but I can't think of anything right now.
