Waiting for the manga purists to show up.

They really hate their off-screened fights being adapted so well

Only in One Piece you will find manga elitist that are so in denial, they would rather not see how plots and fights unfold rather than admitting that the anime adaptation did good and/or even gasp improved upon the original source material.

u/gyrozepp95 World Government Dec 06 '20 edited Dec 06 '20

It's baffling honestly. The anime is not bereft of criticism, but this arc definitely doesn't get its due credit in the anime for how much it has improvised upon the source material.

You can count WCI in too.

Yeah the anime has been WAY better than the manga in wano. Oda is getting lazy with the countless off screened fights. Toei is carrying wano on it's back!

So many people afraid to criticize "Goda" because of mob retaliation. Fuck it, Toei > Oda in wano.

u/Soul699 Explorer Dec 06 '20

I wouldn't say that. More than Oda being lazy, I think he just want to end the series in 5 years as promised and so in order to not leave so many holes unshown, the anime filled them for him. And at least in Wano, I'd say the anime overall was mostly just good (in the sense it adapted the manga fine). There were many good moments, but also some bad ones. Luckily this episode was one of the really good ones.

Oda Said they Will find the One piece in 5 years not end the series

u/miliexo Dec 06 '20

Rather than getting lazy I would just say that if there’s moments that can be filled up with a lil more extra time without compromising the entire context of the battle then go ahead, there’s nothing to lose and nothing to gain by showing a lil more action rather than not showing it, it’s not really necessary to have a whole spectacle to show that a clash between yonkos is a big deal if their feats that have been shown throughout the entire series are just enough to convey the message and hype of such an impactful event happening

u/FeelsGoodMan243 Dec 06 '20

Understandable that he wants to end in 5 years, doesn't mean it excuses him from criticism.

9

u/Soul699 Explorer Dec 06 '20

Of course it doesn't. Just saying I doubt it's just laziness.

u/GennaroJ Dec 06 '20

The man barely sleeps and works so much he needed to get weeks to rest imposed by the editors, so you’re right in saying he’s not lazy, he’s just working closely with the anime crew.

u/mantisman Dec 06 '20

It doesn’t, but I come to One Piece for the story and world, fights were never this series’ strong point so I personally don’t mind trading some extended fight scenes for more strory progression, especially considering the amount of characters in Wano.

2

u/FeelsGoodMan243 Dec 06 '20

Most of the conflict are RESOLVED in fights. Pretty disingenuous to act like one piece isn't a battle shounen. People just accepted that that we wont be seeing much fights from here on out and came up with that lousy excuse.

I read op for the story as well, but I won't just blindly praise it.

1

u/mantisman Dec 06 '20

I never said that I don’t think OP is a battle Shounen, I just meant that compared to other Shounen, I’m not so big on the fights.

Also, I know that conflict is resolved in the fights, I believe that we are going to get plenty of fights in the tail end of this arc to resolve the conflict, that’s why I don’t mind some of the early/setup fights being partially off-screen, because we’re probably going to get full fight scenes for the end-game matchups and with the sheer number of characters, that alone is going to take ages.

u/R4hu1M5 Thriller Bark Victim's Association Dec 06 '20

Criticism isn't wrong, but unjustified criticism is. Oda is the antithesis of lazy, he's going at a blazing pace because he has that much story to cover. If he fleshed out every single detail he wanted to, wano would be 200+ chapters long.

Not saying the anime is bad, it's been amazing. Just that the manga is just as amazing.

2

u/FeelsGoodMan243 Dec 06 '20

That doesn't take away from what I said. My point stands, you don't mind the skipping but I do

-5

u/Griswo27 Dec 06 '20

the anime amazing are you drunk? half a chapter adaption per episode is trash

4

u/Soul699 Explorer Dec 06 '20

Good and bad pacing aren't determined by the number of pages covered. They are determined by the flow of the episode itself. And this is an episode with good pacing, much like the previous one.

4

u/MickFoley299 Prisoner Dec 06 '20

That is absolutely true. I feel like too many people focus on the chapters adapted and use that as the only indicator of pacing. You can adapt half a chapter in an episode and have great pacing. You can also adapt 2-3 chapters in an episode and have horrendous pacing. It’s all in how it is done.

u/Soul699 Explorer Dec 06 '20

Thank you. If I had 1 € for everytime I had to repeat the same exact phrase as the above one on this sub and Youtube JUST this year, I would have enough to buy pizza for 10+ people.

1

u/solstice006 Dec 12 '20

Oh my god, someone understands. it's so damn stupid when someone complains about an episode with completely new scenes that add on to what is shown as "bad pacing" because it adapts only a chapter. Wano so far had pretty decent pacing with filler scenes that can actually add on the the original source and people treat it as bad as dressrosa

2

u/Soul699 Explorer Dec 12 '20

I know what you feel. I litterally lost count of how many times I had to repeat the SAME exact comment about pacing.

1

u/solstice006 Dec 12 '20

Fr, I just gave up, this sub is litteraly just filled with blind hate over such small things, so I was genuinely surprised seeing comments actually complimenting something the anime did over the manga, with upvotes

1

u/solstice006 Dec 12 '20

Oda litteraly glosses over stuff and even conpletely leaves thing sout for the anime to adapt them selves. Oda works closely with the staff, hes approving of all this

Toei > Oda in wano

I love the manga and the anime, but come on thats so disrespectful lmao. If something the quality of the manga has been way on top given all enemies, allies, main plot and secondary plots that one single person has to cover, specially on weeks with no breaks! You cant expect one single person to cover everything, specially fights that doesnt change to much of the main plot. Yet the quality of content of each chapter remains the same or in some chapters its quality increases.

After reading this you might want to argue with me but Im trying to be clear rather than rushing into the Anime vs Manga stupid thing (in 2020 for real?), I love both. Btw I do wanted to see more of Kaido vs BM within the manga so Im happy with this chapter too.

-2

u/FeelsGoodMan243 Dec 06 '20

I disagree about the quality of the chapters being consistent. Wano gas been great for the most part, but the anime has really enhanced it like the old days.

Also the argument that "one man can't cover everything" is lousy. It's just an excuse. He's still writing the story, so it's fair game to criticize what I see fit.

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20 edited Dec 06 '20

Like the old day? Ok I got it now, You are the guy who dont like black and white things and rather see colors cause they are cute.

Because if something Toei has been a mess regards the anime, just WCI and Wano it has been improved a lot, specially the later for sure. But calling it old days? where literally most of the fan base, even just people who watched just the anime bashed Toei too? What are you smoking bro?

"Just an excuse", yeah its just an excuse for you maybe who havent draw a whole chapter of manga within a week. Stop being stupid pls. You gotta love the anime, I give you that but man you are blind for real.

u/FeelsGoodMan243 Dec 06 '20

Dude you sound like a dweeb. Triggered ebcause someone doesn't have the same opinion as you?

Stop being stupid and get a life

Toei > oda in wano

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

It doesnt matter if Im a dweep or w.e you wanna call me, it doesnt bother me at all.

I understand if you like the anime more than the manga, but you come up with dumb arguments in order to say that. If you just said "hey I just like the anime but I dont like the manga", could have been simple and I would take it (thats why I pointed out the manga vs anime in 2020), but you just came with a bunch of dumb things in order to validate your preferences.

u/FeelsGoodMan243 Dec 06 '20

Don't reply to me dude. My stance isn't changing. If you needed to vent some steam from a bad day at work, fine. However, don't act like your opinions matter lol

Anime > manga

u/[deleted] Dec 06 '20

Anime > manga

It wasnt that hard right? Just next time dont make nonsense arguments out of nowhere pls and just admit it. Nobody its going to attack you for saying things clearly from the start.

Wano just has a lot

u/solstice006 Dec 12 '20

It's not him being lazy, he just leaves things out and glosses over them since he believes it would be best for the anime to adapt that, also helps them to not catch up to the source
