One Piece has taken a massive toll on Oda's health thats for sure.

An unfortunately common problem in the weekly manga industry. Kazuki Takahashi spent most of his time drawing the final arc of Yu-Gi-Oh! suffering from sleep deprivation, stomach ulcers, hypovolemia (he had 2/3 the normal amount of blood in his body), and high on pain killers. According to him, even he was surprised when he opened up a printed volume of his own manga and found he drew Zorc with a massive dragon dong. It's amazing that the final arc is just as kino as the rest of the manga with him working under those conditions. It sucks he left manga so early from overwork, and then was taken this world too early.

Conan and Doraemon are basically Japanese institutions. Conan is so old it makes me feel young lol... Oh shit, Doraemon is as old as Cutey Honey, rather, Cutey Honey is as old as Doraemon. Honey looks great for a 52 year old hag.

Shin's animation was such a gift.

They would absolutely puppet One Piece if Oda died, the difference is Oda has given specific plot points he wants to end on; as opposed to Berserk where we're getting "I think I know where he was going with this..."

FWIW Miura's best friend who is running the continuation has stated that they extensively discussed the final arc with Miura when he was alive and have a high degree of confidence that their rendition will be true to what he was planning.
 
Another week of Spy Family means another week of neo-Funimation proving the Roof Korean meme 100% correct.

You can tell the main animator just wanted to show off his perfect knowledge of human anatomy.

The strobe effect must have been so difficult to animate pre-digital.

That's just it, we just have his word, which is very difficult to prove. One of the worst things about being dead is that you no longer get a say, in anything. Besides, people are not stagnant beings, had Miura lived his plans would likely continue to change as nothing is set in stone. Frankly we will never see Miura's true vision because only one man was capable of executing that vision, Miura himself. He's been dead for years now, which means we are years worth of growth removed from how the story would have developed.

I'm sick and tired of no nipples on naked women. Either censor it or draw nipples, no barbie anatomy bullshit.

The Ranma remake sure loves to not show off any areolas or nipples to appeal to that global audience. So weird how some trannies latched onto that series, but I digress.

Ditto. Just binge watched the newer Bastard!! series and the first season at least made an attempt to censor nipples. Second season however went with the Barbie nudity approach and it's glaringly weird.

The 90s were full of them. What the fuck happened?

Japan, like most places around the world, and specifically in the West, was much less strict about broadcasting certain things on TV and what was considered appropriate to show. It also helps that they're a lot less prudish about non-sexual nudity.

To use the US as an example, in the 90s I distinctly remember watching Dragon Ball Z, relatively uncensored on Toonami around 8pm at night when I was like 5. Toonami NOW had to share a slot with Adult Swim if it wants to show any relatively uncensored anime on it. Dragon Ball Super is much more toned down in terms of violence and blood compared to OG Dragon Ball Z, specifically because of the time slot it was in, and the censorship around that time slot is different. Dragon Ball Z, like most anime in the 80s and 90s aired on Prime Time Television (7pm to 11pm) which was primarily watched by adults, which gave it a lot of leeway in what it could show. Super aired in the morning around 9 AM to 11 AM which made it more likely to be seen by kids.

Ranma is censored specifically because sensibilities change, and sexual humor like the Manga had isn't as funny to the Japanese anymore, I suppose.
 
Finally caught up to Berserk, really not sure what to make of it. I don't get why Guts just started acting like he was hypnotized and didn't fight. I get he's heartbroken over Casca and her kidnap, but wth? I thought a Kushan had put a spell on him and I'd missed it, he acts that out of character.

Violence in general was toned down in family-friendly time slots ever since Evangelion made waves. Now is the Super manga itself bloody and violent, or no?
 
I’m sure this has probably been brought up but I am too much of a lazy nigger to scroll back far enough.

I haven’t even seen a single episode yet and One Punch Man season 3 is NOT looking good prognosis wise. I’ve been seeing meme after meme after meme. It’s just absolutely dogshit from what I can tell so far


Here’s just one small clip so far. From episode 2, or maybe 3. They didn’t even give my nigga Garou shading. Granted the fights aren’t as horrible, it’s clear the budget went almost solely to those scenes.

To be fair to this fight, he's fighting a villain that drains Ki whenever it's used in general. He doesn't need to touch you to do it either. From the wiki about it.

Moro is able to gather all life on a planet into an energy ball, which he then consumes - making him stronger than before. Moro is able to select a target and steadily drain their energy without them even being aware, he can choose to target an entire planet and steadily drain it's energy - though the only living beings affected if he does this will be those in contact with the ground, he is also able to keep this ability up whilst engaged in combat. Moro is also capable of swallowing blasts of ki. When draining energy from a living target, the energy will drain far faster if the target is not concentrating on Moro, this was displayed while Goku and Vegeta were engaged in combat with other foes, causing them to drop to weaker forms at a rapid pace. Energy is food for Moro, and so he will stop consuming it if he is full.
