Mashima isn't copying him. Anyone can find two panels that look similar even though their context is very different. You would have to be very stupid/gullible to believe this shit.



The context seems to be the same you must be blind to not see it
no it is not the same. I have watched both series and they are completely different

You didn't watch FT, how would you know?


Just by looking at the pics and at least some look pretty much the same. I haven't watched FT but i know some about it. I mean look at the pics where usop was beaten by franky's people and the crew goes to revenge him and the ones from FT i guess natsu's friends have been beaten just like you usop and they go to beat the shit of the bad guys. I don't know i might be wrong it's just my opinion but it looks like it has the same context.

So this is why Bleach has been selling less volumes.
The digital copies are taking away from the printed ones, and bleach is heavily bought online.

One Piece began print in 1997. Rave Master in 1999. Now I haven't actually watched all of rave master just the first 10 episodes and I don't remember either one being that similar.

What stuff are you claiming Oda copied?

I'd like to quote that billybob1876 comment on crunchy roll:

anyone who thinks this is "the beginning of the end" of one piece is nuts


It's still doing incredibly well, even if it did dip bellow the 4 mil mark for the first time in years. As the article states this might be because more people are buying digital.

He didn't claim that Oda copied Mashima, he claims that FT follows Rave Master to a certain extent instead of OP, and since people claim that FT copied OP, he argues that OP copied Rave Master which FT copied from OP (which is actually from Rave Master according to him)

You mean this?



Yeah they look similar. That doesn't mean he's plagarising. The character designs are similar but they are not exactly the same nor are the personalities even remotely similar. Oda isn't the only one that is influenced by other authors. If that even was the case with this character.

Take Youpi from Hunter x Hunter for example. He's almost identical to Gotoh from Parasyte and that was intentional. Togashi was a fan of Parasyte.

Gotoh



Youpi

You can imply that One Piece's success is due to luck all you want. The fact remains that a lot of people liked the manga prior to Toei's adaption and it had a very strong fan base from the start. I get that a lot of people dislike One Piece or think it's mediocre but to chalk up it's rise to fame to luck and good timing is ridiculous. There was a lot of competition from manga such as Naruto and later Bleach when One Piece was starting off. Oda has always claimed his biggest rival was Kishimoto, not Togashi. I think HxH appeals to a specific demographic; people between the ages of 14-21. While One Piece seems to have a more universal appeal.

Actually, from what I heard they did not include the limited edition sales in that number, and if it's true, Shingeki no Kyojin would have been first that year. By the way, getting it to weekly doesn't mean that Isayama could have maintained quality and popularity. Working weekly and monthly are different.

I just love that people need to create so many hypothetical situations to justify One Piece success.But they forget that not having a manga on Jump but on another magazine is the Author fault that wasnt able to convince the editors that his work was good enough.They say that SNK would beat One Piece if it was weekly,but ignore the fact that if it was weekly the anime could be completely different and it wouldn't had been released in 2013 but 1 or 2 years before going fully against One Piece when it was selling even more than last year.They also don't care that One Piece released 3 volumes just like SNK on 2014 due to Oda health.

And the best one is the hypothetical idea that HxH would destroy One Piece without Hiatus LOL.

All 3 had great storylines , plottwists , character development around the same time in anime and manga. None really can replace any of them , those magazine covers with monkey ichigo and naruto

Bleach been subpar for a few good years now. same with naruto . one piece is the only one i can say its slipped but not to the point of the other 2 imo

say if wrong but i always thought big 3 was a american term not from japan . but i dont think there will be a new big 3 there be something else people wiill start to follow

I forget we live in the same city

So it seems that Bleach has at least another 50-70+ chapters before the final confrontation, Dressrosa will probably wrap up a few chapters before 800, and ol' Nardoe will be back to the canon sometime within the next few weeks

Now since the anime is about to reach one of the lowest points of the Ninja War arc, it's weird that personally I'm looking forward to the canon episodes. It might be because after the anime ends Naruto will truly feel "over", might be because I want to see how Studio Pierrot(and Ninja Storm 4) handles the final battles of the series, since, regardless of what they may do wrong, they at least give a fuck about the manga they're adapting. Or maybe I just have sentimental attachment to Shippuden than I realized. I dunno.

You know what else is cool about Nardoe ending? We should be able to rack up at least 2-3 pages of discussion on Shippuden alone since anime watchers and manga readers will finally be to talk about stuff without restriction. (Yaaaaaay)Although anyone who isn't spoiled on at least one thing that happens in the epilogue is a rare breed (Naruto having a son doesn't count)

That's pretty baseless. Popularity doesn't have anything to do with quality. And their quality is subjective.

For example, I never once, at any point in time, thought that Bleach and One Piece, were as good as Naruto. It's always been Naruto is great, bleach is decent (minus Fullbring arc) one piece is terrible, for me.

I already mentioned many pages ago that for the first time in a long while I'm actually having fun reading Fairy Tail. The recent arc, while it's nothing spectacular, has been much better than the last 3 arcs in the manga. I'm not holding my breath and expecting too much out of the arc but it's been entertaining. My only real complain so far has been


I'm not too excited for the Tartar-sauce arc in the anime. I didn't care for it in the manga. The bunny girl was annoying as fuck.

Naruto was awful with the madara asspull, it would have been legendary if Kishi didn't sellout.

Bleach is the best, period, stop listening to the bleach haters, they don't even read it.

I'm not the biggest Naruto fan out there but I don't see how Madara was an asspull....

He was overpowered if that's what you mean but both Madara and
where foreshadowed many times in the manga. If you are referring to Madara
that was also explained many times before.

According to general opinion. Bleach (mostly for the final arc), then Naruto, Fairy Tail, then One Piece (lol toei)

Though, while I don't remember much from Bleach's last arc, I like Naruto's animation more, just recently watched episode 30 from Naruto part 1, and damn, their animation was talented that early on.

I would agree with that yeah. Bleach had some great animation especially in some of the last filler arcs and the final arc. Naruto has had great animation as far as cannon episodes. One Piece fluctuates a lot, back during the latter half of Ennies Lobby till the end of Sabody I think the animation peaked. After that it would fluctuate. You had some episodes with really good animation especially during Marineford and the latter half of Fishman Island. Then you have a lot of episodes that had much lower quality. It's to be expected of such a long anime. Not just because it's Toei.

That said I agree with Lupa in that One Piece movies always have great animation.

I know right, it's already 13 episodes or weeks long and they're most likely only in the last 1/3 of the second exam.

Pierrot's no doubt my least favorite studio when it comes to filler. One Piece, Toriko, Prince of Tennis, and even Fairy Tail(kinda sorta) beat Bleach and Naruto in that section.

Between one piece, naruto, bleach and fairy tail which one has the best animation?
I know that fairy tail is the only one that is in HD all the way through.
Probably Naruto, which is the worst of those four.

One Piece still has the best animation around when it comes to movies.
Ain is such a cutie.

Have we been reading the same things? :(
Naruto was awful with the madara asspull, it would have been legendary if Kishi didn't sellout.

Bleach is the best, period, stop listening to the bleach haters, they don't even read it.

One piece has been just urghhhhh, I'm enjoying fairy tail more than it.


I'm not the biggest Naruto fan out there but I don't see how Madara was an asspull....

He was overpowered if that's what you mean but both Madara and
where foreshadowed many times in the manga. If you are referring to Madara
that was also explained many times before.

Toei's animation (or lack thereof) is one of the reasons I am not enjoying World Trigger as much as I could be. Also the dumb recaps every episode.

This probably not a good idea, considering the regulars of this thread, and their align. But which series do you think handles death better? (FT, Naruto, Bleach, op, HxH)

I'm indifferent to the general concept, but I do think it can enhance some plot developments/character developments, and it sometimes can leave a bad taste in mouth.

My thoughts is that, while FT and one piece, don't necessarily need death, because the general tone in them, they still should stop putting the characters in near death situation, and them survive in miracles, and one piece in particular has a lot of cartoon-ish violence, and most of it's death is from flasbacks, which can get tiring.

Bleach. Hmmm. I don't know, I guess it's okay, but nothing stood out, because not many relevant character died.

HxH. Aside from Alluka's. It's quite good, only problem, is that most of the death, comes from fodder, and only few important characters died, but then again, it's not as long as the other series I brought up.

Naruto. I think it handles it, the best. Few characters were in near death situation, but survived with a miracle (I can only recall one actually, Obito, and the rocks). A lot of important/relevant characters with good screen time, died, and had purpose, and enhanced some aspects, developments in the series.

Some people complain about Rinne Tensi, and Edo Tensi, and I honestly don't get it, especially in Edo Tensi, because the characters brought back by Edo Tensi are still technically dead, and were sealed off later, so their death or it's impact wasn't negated. Not to mention, it was a very important jutsu in the war arc, and I loved it's application with Madara.

As for Rinne Tensi, it was important for the meeting with Naruto and Nagato, and for the plot. Not to mention, only two named characters died anyway (Kakashi, and Shizou), and their death wouldn't really accomplish much, outside of the arc itself.
