Hey,

I’m not sure if you remember me, but we had a discussion about Naruto some time ago. I just finished watching Shippuuden today, and I have to say, you were right—Shippuuden is much better than the original series! The highs of Shippuuden are phenomenal and incredibly engaging. I loved the Pain arc and the unfolding of the Great Ninja War; I was so hooked that I watched 20 episodes a day! The more I watched, the more I appreciated how both sides in the conflict were striving for a perfect world, albeit with vastly different approaches.

I really enjoyed Shippuuden and now understand how essential the original Naruto series was for setting the stage. Thank you for the recommendation!

I'm certainly not turned off by the genre based on one show. I've seen Gatchaman and it's certainly way better. Thanks for the input.

I'm Not Familiar With Leiji Matsumoto Works Not Yet , I Will Watch Them Whenever I Have The Time And A Clear Way To Watch Them.
I Searched In MAL For A Watch Guide Couldn't Find Any That Makes Sense Searched In Reddit And Found This One Ultimate Leijiverse Watch List So I Just Copied It Into An Interest Stack.
I Was Planning To Make It Unlisted But Changed My Mind Maybe It's Gonna Be A Big Help For Someone Out There.
I'm Sorry If I Caused Any Confusing.

Hey old friend, wow you now have watched 863 days of anime? It would be over 2 years of anime if just played back to back as you know. that would be a good perk in heaven. Hope you doing well lately.

Hey there!

First of all, please excuse the very late reply, but so much has been going on in the last 2 - 3 months that unfortunately I often missed out on replying to messages. Still, I hope you're doing well so far.

Regarding the first episode of One Piece this year, all I can say is that I was absolutely not ready for the events shown there. I would have expected a lot, but the section with Imu, Lulusia and Sabo in particular had a real shock factor that gave me chills.

In general, the Egghead Arc is so incredibly fun to experience. I can only imagine how manga readers must have reacted to a lot of the information we've received so far. Long-awaited questions are answered and at the same moment new ones immediately arise. Even though I'm obviously always hyped for good fights, the mysteries and secrets are a special aspect to me that I love so much about One Piece. So I can hardly wait to see what the next episodes have in store.

How do you experience the implementation in the anime so far?

Happy Birthday

Hello, just wanted to say that your taste in anime and manga is awesome ^^

I can't promise that I'm ready by any means. Although I am aware that countless pieces of the puzzle still need to be solved, it will still be a strange feeling, at least for me personally, to know that One Piece will actually embark on its final saga.
Obviously, over 20 years ago I wouldn't have even begun to believe that One Piece would accompany me for such a long time or have over 1000 episodes lol.

I am extremely excited to see what Oda has prepared for us from now on. Since Punk Hazard, the next direction point has always been predetermined. Now with the conclusion in Wano and the victory over Kaido and Big Mom, of course all sorts of speculations arise in my mind.
When you even say that developments, revelations, and major plot moments from this point onwards become almost normal and could possibly change my own perspective on certain episodes, that only makes me more curious. I guess you can't wait to see anime only people's reactions to upcoming events.

You're welcome :)

In my experience and what I've heard in general, most people have problems getting into Gintama because after the first few episodes it probably doesn't necessarily meet their expectations, which can lead to a possible drop.

So it's great that you gave it another chance. Gintama has a deep, serious story and, in my opinion, one of the best MC's in anime (yes, I'm biased here), which is not necessarily noticeable at first glance, since, as you say, a wide range of other shows are often parodied or references to certain people, places or times are unfortunately not always understood because the necessary background knowledge is missing.

What often amazed me about Gintama was the fact that even in a humorous or parodied episode, an underlying message is often conveyed. I can't remember ever seeing it done like this in another anime before.

Oh, you've changed your name? In the very first moment I didn't realize it was you, but I like it. Also great new profile picture. Gintoki is life, Gintoki is love :D

I'm not sure if you've seen this yet, but this was such an emotional and wholesome video. Especially when Oda shared that he's glad Iñaki was born to be just like Luffy. Likewise, I loved Iñaki's shared feelings about One Piece and Luffy as a character. Putting on the straw hat at the end, just like Shanks did with Luffy, was the icing on the cake. I'm not really a person who would fangirl over someone, but in Oda's case I would have the exact same reaction as Iñaki. This is also one of the reasons why the One Piece-Live Action is such a success.

Absolutely. This phenomena is also something which caught my eye over the last weeks and months. On one side I liked the coziness, but as you say it can't be a bad thing if One Piece rises in popularity and more people are able to explore the wonderful world One Piece represents :)

I hope my hotel has a good internet connection available as I will be on vacation from tomorrow until the 28th. So I will only be able to watch the next episode on my phone.

Nevertheless, this episode was a real firework and as always I can only marvel at Megumi Ishitani's talent. Truly a successful conclusion to this long-lasting battle. The aftermath will be extremely interesting and what impact it will have on the world.

I would definitely say that Gear 5 is already one of my favorite power ups in the anime, as Oda not only found a perfect time to introduce us to Luffy's newfound power, but also took a huge risk with the cartoon elements. However, this second step was extremely worthwhile because it simply fits Luffy's freedom-loving character.

Btw, 1074 was just amazing. As you already pointed out in your quote, some people seemed to see the initial scene with Momo as a simple flashback, even though it had so much more meaning. An illustration of what the country of Wano, its citizens and tirelessly fighting samurai and of course Momo, his family as well as Kinemon and the rest have had to endure over the last 20 years. And I loved the final moment where Luffy reaffirmed to Momo that he trusts him as he launched what is by far the craziest attack on Kaido I've witnessed in One Piece so far.

So it doesn't surprise me that this is supposed to be Luffy's strongest attack, at least so far. I'm so excited to see what this will look like later.

I love Gear 5. I re-watched 1071 and 1072 and it's such a ridiculous power that it's almost breaking the game. There's doesn't seem to be any limit outside of Luffy's imagination which is insane. He randomly grabbed lightning in such a casual manner that's almost feel sorry for Kaido. So far Luffy only keeps evolving and Gear 5 will be no exception. The future fights are going to be nuts, that's for sure.

Really? Megumi Ishitani is directing today's episode and we're also getting a new Opening? Damn. Now I'm even more excited what kind of song they chose and what the visuals will be.

I am sure that the fight between Luffy and Kaido will have a spectacular ending. It almost feels unreal that we're almost at the end of Wano given its length. Nonetheless, I'm hyped.
