To be honest, the third is good for Brook's character. The first two are... eh... typical OP filler stuff. Unthreatning villian, annoying filler kids, etc etc. Lol

And there goes Jman making something negative again.

I doubt it with Zoro. Especially later on. But I'll leave it at that. Usopp maybe, but it's so unimportant compared to everything else going for that characters so who cares if it turns out true or not? The Luffy drinks milk thing was anime filler. You never exactly know what their drinking most of the time (except Zoro who you know drinks booze) but it's pretty safe to assume that it's alcohol of some kind. And I brought up Chopper because I wanted to bring up every straw-hat. If you wanna consider it a spoiler, then my bad, but it's really not an important thing. And they're jokes. Just like the many other anime that have these same jokes and next to no romance involved. The story focuses on the Straw-Hats so of course, if they're not interested seriously in it, you're not going to see any romance. The story doesn't focus on those elements and watching the straw-hats develop those feeling would be jarring as hell. THAT would be odd, not the absence of it. I honestly think you nitpicking pretty hard with this one and considering real world logic and other series that use romance. Doesn't mean that would work with every series and OP is one of those. It's just a weird thing to be annoyed about. Almost as weird as Poke being obsessed with content ratings (sorry Poke, had to use something to compare lol).

Oh I know. I just want the obnoxious ones here to be aware of their bullshit. Lol

OP will always be a long series so if that's the problem, I doubt the fatigue will go away. But the next few arcs are indeed awesome and start off the 'climax' to the first half of OP, so to speak. But there will be 3 episodes of filler before the start of the next canon arc.

I thought it was close enough.

...it's not what you think... Lol

Well things were less head-ache inducing back then. No one was out for throats. Nowadays, everyone is a critic and no one can respect anything and thinks they know best. >_>

Because after years and years of waiting, having only 12-13 episodes would be kinda lame. I'm aware AoT S1 had 25 episodes, but 13 episodes seems to be the norm now for seasonal anime.

A long time coming, eh? Now... I wonder if Studio Perriot will adopt the seasonal method for Boruto. This is the perfect chance to make the jump. They probably won't though since they're stuck in their old ways...

You act like anyone else joins you on riffing One Piece. Lol No, it's just your obnoxious self.

How would it do any better than what's currently on the block? Because you personally enjoy it? Show quality doesn't mean good ratings, anyway. Otherwise Akame Ga Kill wouldn't have been so successful.

Yeah they watch crappy Disney sitcoms instead. This generation is fucked lmao

Eh... it starts off promising but it kinda dismantles into itself halfway through. But if you have no problem with in-your-face fanservice, even during serious moments and endless asspulls, then you might enjoy it.

I figured JoJo wouldn't interest the mainstreamers. It's just too out there.

Lmao so no matter how much you don't like a show, it'll still be better than OP because of its length? Wow. Whatever happened to the days when no one was so sour about long-runners. And when we could just enjoy the series for the series itself and not worry about its length. This bitching didn't happen during the DBZ/Sailor Moon days, I'll tell you that.

Super is as popular as you can get..... and even it isn't doing THAT great. I doubt those other shows would do much if Super couldn't.

YURI!!!! isn't really an action series though so the point is moot. Although maybe figure skating can be considered action... but I always thought of it as a slice-of-life/sport series.

Careful. Mochi and his followers will call you homophobic for that.

If the fan girls flock to Toonami... maybe.

Nostalgia really is terrible.

I'd say shit that isn't DRAGONBALL and the occasional hot new anime series is failing.....on tv anyway. Still.... so much for Super bringing up Toonami ratings. Lmao.

One Piece is the least of their worries when it comes to these ratings.

Most show seasons are 10 to 13 episodes, even in America.
