i imagine fillers excluding right, because word of warning, but if there is any series that was destroyed because of fillers, its naruto shippuuden lol. Canon parts are ok to watch. But the fillers are so nonsensical irrelevant to the actual story, that there just pointless. Though the one silver lining out of all this, was the finale. Studio periot almost delivered like a mad house quality in terms of a final battle and production visuals and a solid ending to make up for how they destroyed the tension and pacing of the 4th shinobi world war arc. Some of the novels were also adapted in the very later parts of the series, and these are actually pretty good, quality wise as well so apparently they did not want to screw up everything.

People generally get a bad taste in there mouth because of the final war arc, due to the fact that the fillers kill the momentum of the story and the tension and you sometimes even forget what the hell is even happening in the present story line. So my advise is just watch the entire war arc to its end (excluding fillers) so you can get a more proper outlook on the final parts of the story. You will not have to worry bout any of this really until the 400+ episodes of shippuuden though. But in any case i just thought i would let you know if you weren't already aware.

Your re-watching naruto to huh? lol what is the occasion?

Well i was afraid there was a certain scene in the manga that would be censored in the anime of one piece because its quite frankly the darkest moment in the story but i am so glad the anime did not censor anything. Man the anime currently is just really going all out. I am just really impressed compared to what people said bout dressrosa, these current arcs TOEI is putting alot more care into creating something with consistent quality. The moment the yonko started powering up looks pretty cool in the manga, but it really popped in the anime just with all the colors, the flashing electricity, solid fluid animation and the blood curteling screams, it just looks so much more cooler.

Btw making good progress on reading OP, you'll catch up soon at this rate.

Yeah I am actually probably one of the few that hasn't seen the origins anime yet so ill be watching that to. Have you seen Gundam Unicorn. Thats a really awesome series. As for manga, i am currently reading Promised never-land, Dr stone and Akatsuki no Yona witch is like a historical fantasy romance, great manga and anime if your into a magical fantasy adventure type story. But anyways i am getting back into Gundam again and trying to catch up with the shows that i haven't seen such as Iron blooded orphans, Build divers and Age.

Just trying to find a cheaper price for some of these, cause i do eventually want to collect all the gundam series and support the company. I think its amazing what sunrise has actually done for all the classical UC series, not only releasing them in blu-ray but for the first time we get to watch them in eng dub to. I kind of grew up with gundam in English with Gundam wing and then later destiny so i appreciate the fact that i can watch them all now in English.

Been trying to purchase all the Gundam Series, but i can't believe how the new rightstuf sets are so much money. I can buy them all on dvd for half the price. I don't really see that much of a difference either. Especially when you factor in the classics like 0079 or Zeta. Its like 34.00 Vs 55-60 dollars.

Now gundam 00 or destiny, for sure because they were developed in true blu-ray not just upscaled. Also there not near as expensive, its just the remake classic ones from the UC era.

Man oh man.. one piece is just amazing!!! right now. omg i wish you can read this stuff. The story is really escalating and all i can say is its bout damn time we get down to the most important pieces of the plot. Oda is not playing around. Celstial dragons, dragon, the revolunary armies, a major war, ancient weapons, the national treasure... Its all coming together :)

and were only like three chapters into this new story arc

Can't say the same for the anime haha. I remember CP9 specifically ennies lobby being the one arc that had glaring pacing issues so yeah I see where your coming from. Its always good to compare and contrast i guess, after all your going through the story at the pace that oda really intended for it and CP9/ennies lobby are pretty well known for being some of the best manga arcs as is the marinford which also had quite alot of pacing issues in the anime.

But i am not much of a nitpicker like others, i would prefer relevant canon filler over non canon filler that is irrelevant to the main story arcs like what naruto did anyday. Though i will say TOEI has been quite on board with delivering great quality in the last few arcs. Zou and whole cake island are probably two of the best arcs in the anime.

Yeah Ao no kiseki (trails of azure) is like finished now fan translation. It will be out in like a few weeks, as for zero it might take a bit more time, but its currently at 73%. Though during summer they have no school so they can work on it a much faster pace. Still no word on cold steel III or IV though from xseed. Hopefully we get something soon this year cause they are way behind the japanese. In fact Kondo is already thinking bout what he's going to be doing for the next arc of the franchise and already has the next game in mind and he estimates will be released around 2020.

So what you been up to video game wise? Still playing those LOH games or something else. I love trails, but i hate waiting so long for the damn english versions. I mean hell japan already has finished the cold steel series to its completion and we haven't gotten episode 3 yet. I just hope they get announced soon along with the crossbell games.

Wow in the manga of OP your deffinitly alot further behind then i thought you were. You have watched the anime up untill post time skip, so it really isn't necessary to re-read earlier arcs of the series. The anime pretty much adapts all source material. There maybe times where its poor pacing compared to the manga but TOIE never cuts out material like say A-1 does. But i guess if your wanting to read and experience the whole manga, you can do that to. I just think you might be more into it, if your reading stuff you haven't witnessed yet. Which you still have alot to read, like 5 arcs or so of material.

I definitely like the concept behind the slower start but I don't think it was executed too well in Angle/Nakamura but like I said, once the match got going I really liked it so it wasn't a big problem with me. The difference in crowds are pretty interesting. I first experienced that while watching the Paul London/Akio matches on Velocity years ago, since one of those happened in Japan. I'm not sure which one I prefer, I'd probably lean towards New Japan because I doubt they'd chant "What?" every-time someone dares to pause, and the whole Tye Dillinger "Ten" chant is my least favorite crowd chant in history since all it does is destroy the drama of the count. But I do like the WWE crowds at time, and it's interesting to hear different wrestler preferences. I remember reading Kairi Sane (who I love btw, second only to Asuka) say she prefers American crowds because it feels like they're fighting with her, or something like that.

The other matches you linked me where against Okada (who I've heard of countless times since that series with Omega that I still haven't watched yet) and one against someone called Yoshihiro Takayama (who I never heard of so I googled him and got depressed when I heard about his retirement).

I see, pretty interesting. Especially the idea that even in Japan, success in MMA can translate to a push. Definitely find the transition in wrestling careers pretty fascinating, I still don't fully understand the creepy clown phase of Asuka's career in Japan, but that's most certainly the thing I'm most looking forward diving into whenever I get around to doing that. And as for Nakamura, it's crazy to me how much my opinion on Nakamura's improved since his heel turn. Everything about it works, and I absolutely love the new theme music. For as much of a letdown as their Mania match was, his feud with Styles has easily by my favorite thing in WWE recently. I thought their match at the GRR was a lot better than their Mania match, albeit the finish was flat. I guess I'll carry this over in spoiler tags to be safe.



The rest of the Greatest Royal Rumble was meh, I didn't really find anything worth watching outside of Styles/Nakamura & the Rumble itself (though it wasn't even the Greatest Royal Rumble this year).

yeah you can do that, thats totally fine. But there are some specific moments that you MUST see animated, specifically in WCI arc, since alot of it has to due with musical numbers. The studio really created something quite special with that and since the arc was heavily inspired by alice in wonderland and fantasia. There were some really just eye popping moments brought to screen, the manga quite frankly did not have that same impact.

But at this point we are really hoping that after WCI is animated, that the anime starts a filler arc or adapts some of the cover stories, because it is literally like 25 chapters behind the manga. Its way to close right now and that could result in horrible pacing for the upcoming wano arc in the anime.

Well the first chapter of the new arc dropped and its reverberating around the web like thunder. There was so many bombshells and some interesting developments with in the straw hat crew. Man oh man... Wiki articles are already being updated with new information and photo's. Be careful about spoilers. I am just giving you a fair warning.

It's all good man, I get it. I'll look forward to your thoughts on the show if you ever find the time to write them. I'll definitely find time to check out that Styles/Nakamura match at some point, though I haven't been very good at watching much wrestling this much. Still haven't watched most of the matches you linked me, I have seen the Shinsuke/Angle match, which atm is probably my favorite Shinsuke match. I will say, it was outright strange seeing Nakamura without any of his like trademark personality traits that I've come to associate with him on display. He didn't even go for the Kinshasa at any point, was that not a finisher he was doing yet? The way he flowed into the Armbar in the finish was flawless, and I really like how they built up the Armbar throughout that match. And the Ankle Lock reversal into a Sleeper Hold (I think?) was amazing, favorite spot of the match. The only real complaint I had with the match was the opening portions. I'm fine with a slow-build to the action but the early moments felt like nothing by Angle holding Shinsuke into a side-headlock on the ground, briefly broken up by a cool Belly-to-Belly Suplex to the outside (which was smart, if the early match is mostly going to be rest holds having a big spot to break it up is a nice way to keep people engage). I just wish there was more variety on displayed there.

I'll try and check out the other Shinsuke matches you linked soon-ish. Though with tomorrow being the Greatest Royal Rumble event I might be wrestled out like I was after Mania. Though I'm only planning on catching half the matches, so I only care about half the matches. Are you looking forward to it?

Yeah its not necessary to re-watch the first half of the series either again. If you fall behind, just watch a few of the new world arcs that your behind in and your good to go. The anime it self is about 25 episodes or so behind currently so the WCI arc will be wrapping up shortly in the anime to.

Steins;gate 0 is another one you should check out, its provides alot more clarity of the story and gives more exposition behind some of the events in the plot towards the end that were some what confusing to unravel.

Also not sure if you been keeping up with Tokyo Goal, but its a pretty great physiological horror type shonen series, and Tokyo Goal re is the final series based on the sequel of the original.

Those are probably clearly the top 3 anime this season but there are more like FLCL 2, Fullmetal panic Victory, Persona 5 the animation, Golden Kamey an original IP that is based off a highly rated manga. Lupin the III, part 5 if your a lupin fan, and of course LOGH + alot more. This season is definitely one of the best we had in a long while.

Though i still recommend checking out Re'Zero from last year, that was a top tier series. I am just hoping we get a 2nd season this year or some time soon.

Yeah i been trying to watch some of the reboots this season, there is just so many and btw if you do have time you should check out my hero academia, i hear from manga fans that this season is going to have some of the best material from the manga and its 25 episodes this time, not just 12.

Also did i tell you bout the one piece news. The wano arc is officially starting finally next week. This is an arc that oda has been wanting to draw and planned, since he started one piece, so naturally i am just really excited to finally reach this point ever since he announced it over a year in a half ago.
