| Geez, he works a lot. I guess thats why One Piece is a quality manga. Maybe it would be best if he finished the series soon. |

MM-Rosiie said: Orix said: Better plan on the ending before you meet yours, Oda-sensei. He's said before he has the whole story planned out. You can tell with all the interconnected aspects of the series that it's true... (He didn't just start OP and went along with it. =.=) So don't say that. . _ . And he needs to live long enough to create more even after One Piece! Please keep healthy, Oda-sensei. :A: This SOOOO MUUUCH. This is surely one of the main, if not the top reason One Piece unlike almost all manga has not only maintained the quality of the story but has managed to make it more interesting and increase his fanbase. It is almost impossible to see this, even more in a long running shounen series. The are long running series of different genres, with very dedicated fans, but to see something at the top for more than a decade and increase year by year its base and the quality of the work...its almost fiction. malvarez1 said: Geez, he works a lot.

It will end when it has too, I am sure it OP will be at its peak when it does and wont be dragged on unlike certain other manga and mangakas. |

Orix said: IntroverTurtle: He should hurry. By how he's wasting his body (three hours of sleep, wtf), he's real close to burning out. The only question is when this will happen, or whether it has happened in the past without you guys knowing. ZoroShiSon: I've decided long ago that I wouldn't touch the manga series. MM-Rosiie: It's reality. There's so many authors that might have died before fully realizing their works of literature. There's The Wheel of Time series, and in Japan, the Kaze no Stigma series. Zero no Tsukaima's in danger as well, with its author seeking medication for his cancer. LOL ok then i don't even know why you are even talking , you haven't even read the series yet you are judging it , doesn't really make sense ,does it ?? |
xxJing said: darkmac said: How does he work so much and still have such bad art? This may have been an insult , but I will take the other path here and consider it an inquiry. I personally would like to know that myself. Mainly because: 1. He must have a few assistants, every mangaka does. So he isn't doing it all himself. 2. He does around 17-20 pages a week , which is the norm. So like people said, whether the art is good or bad is subjective. However level of detail is objective, and a higher level of detail takes more time. And while I love One Piece, I have never marveled at the art of it. On the other hand, there are other mangas like Mahou Sensei Negima for example, while the character design in that was extremely simple, I often wondered to myself how Akamatsu was able to draw such detailed buildings and backgrounds for 1 panel, it must have taken him forever. Air Gear by Ogure had some extremely detailed character designs and action scenes on the other hand. Both of those mangas, while they took frequent breaks, were weekly serialized and also around 20 pages each. This article suggests that Oda works harder than any mangaka, meaning harder than Ogure and Akamatsu who have very detailed art in comparison. It just makes me wonder, what part of the creative process takes him so much time. As a side note, I can believe he barely sleeps, because only a hallucination induced imagination could produce the oddity that is the world of one piece. Being the number one manga, keeping the story not only interesting but increasing its quality after 13 years, CURRENTLY BEING THE BEST, takes huge amount of time, believe it or not. About the "bad art": As some have pointed out, many people have simply no idea and misunderstand and confuse UNIQUE ART STYLE with "BAD/UGLY" You are in your right to not like and art style, but you are totally wrong got call it bad or ugly because you dont like it. If you wanna know what bad really refers to, refer to a good thread here on MAL about that, the indisputable king was TITE KUBO AND BLEACH. And further argues and corrects people like you that confuse unique art style with bad. |

| As much as I love One Piece, I would much rather it go on hiatus and give Oda a month or two or three off than for him to suffer from over work. We have seen what happens to mangaka that overwork in several series. Saiko worked so much on drawing that he ended up in the hospital. Min Geun Soo in went blind from lack of sleep while drawing his manhwa in Can't See Can't Hear But Love. |
JavierR said: IntroverTurtle said: I would be so damn sad if he dies, and especially if he dies before finishing One Piece. DO NOT SAY THAT. PLEASE. My life would be incomplete your life will be just fine. and if it is his time, it is his time. still though....that is a lot of work for just drawing manga. even so, i suspect he does take lunch breaks and such.... |

| I love you Oda! :) But I hope he'll be healthy all his life! :) |
| Lol, I read the title as "2am to 5am," and I was like, "hey, that ain't half bad!" |
| If I remember right, Oda was talking about how he takes every 4th week off to spend with his family. When it comes to work, this man works. When it comes to taking a break, he takes a break. |
Homestuck said: I'm fine with people being rude to a hard working man in this thread. He can't hear you over his wads of money and smoking hot wife anyways. All of this. Dude makes something like 22 million a year and though I haven't seen his wife, I bet she's hot. So, y'know, while all you haters sit there and bitch about the guy's art quality, realize that he's created a modern classic manga that's known all over the world, has the SINGLE MOST POPULAR ANIME IN JAPAN, makes a shit ton of money and your post counts on the internet are probably your most important contributions to this world. And, before anyone says anything as a response to say "Oda's fans are dickriding/defending him"? I fucking hate One Piece. But I respect what this man has done. You should too. |

| So, what's the point of the news? I only know from it that he's working too long. |

| The master. The God. The great Oda-sensei! |
| I wouldn't be surprised if most of the hard working mangaka in Japan have a similar sleeping pattern. Oda probably isn't the only one. Same with comic book artists all over the world. Weekly deadlines and all. That being said, Oda needs more sleep. Damn. |
| That's expected from Oda-Sensei. |

| I see... Admirable Oda! If I needed a new reason to respect him, certainly, this would be it! |
darkmac said: How does he work so much and still have such bad art? The first comment of the thread, and I see this? Someone beat me to it, but look at this. DJIzzyIzzyHitler said: bleach hands down Do you think the art is a "bad art" now? Everyone have their own opinion, but one cannot say "bad art", just say you dislike it, you dont have to insult it. Sure, it looks cartoon-ish, and the quality aint that good at the beginning but compare the art from Chapter 1 to 500+ chapters. This is the art quality in the beginning. Color spread at Chapter 604. If you still cant tell the difference of the quality, then... you need glasses. I hope the best of wises to Oda-sensei, hope you're healthy and well + you need some sleep! PS: Sorry, if something gets spoiled from the color pages. |

| And I dare complain when there's a release break. Take care of your health Oda-sensei.. or none of us can ever find One Piece or go to Raftel :D |

Lulexiaa said: HE NEEDS A BREAK T^T I wonder if he can still say he still has fun doing his job T___T he took (deserved) break more often than any other mangaka in WSJ well not including HXH mangaka though LOL |
| He needs some sleep, seriously. |
| If suddenly appreciate sleep a lot more. |
LoneWolf said: @Josh makes me sad to call myself Canadian. |
| Yeah, definitely a habit of true professional mangaka. |
 |
| He should really get some well deserved sleep. It would be disappointing if the series suddenly ends with the Strawhats in the middle of New World. |
 |
| Your work sir is a masterpiece. |
Gash_V-D_Hetchum said: Seriously. How can people believe such garbage. Its impossible for this to be true. I'm taking into consideration his art quality,characterisation,plot detail etc Doesn't that explain more? He invests more time in improving those thus getting less sleep. |
| That's dedication. As an aspiring creative writer, I admire that and I hope I have as much passion for my works as he does. Still, that's a little excessive. One Piece chapters do seem to have the most content especially if you compare it to Bleach but I didn't think he had to put that much work into it. Hope he doesn't get sick. |
     "There is someone that I must meet again. And until that day... not even Death himself can take my life away!" |
| Wow he works that hard? I would need 1000 breaks if I was him. And he's been doing that for a long time? I hope this won't effect his health, the guy needs to rest some more. |
As it turns out, living was a punishment...  |
| It's normal for mangakas I guess. Takehiko Inoue already said that when he was publishing Slam Dunk, there were times when he only got one or two hours of sleep. |
| Jesus........ Well I hope he gets a day off or something, that isn't healthy for you at all D: |
| [url=http://myanimelist.net/animelist/SilentSuicide&sclick=1] |
| 5am to 2am? So wait, he only gets... 3 hours of sleep at night, if he does sleep?? Man, I don't follow the manga or anime, but if someone doesn't sleep for 3 days straight, they tend to go kind of insane. So has anyone ever seen some OP work that seems.. kinda off? O.O |
