Zenigundam Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 Before all the filler crap kicks in. Binge watching both series from the start for the next couple of months. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bnmjy Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 That's how most shonen are. They start out with a good premise, then they introduce new concepts and the plot becomes convoluted beyond comprehension, and you regret the dozens of hours you spent watching the hundreds of episodes.

quebecelegy Posted February 28, 2017 Share Posted February 28, 2017 ive watched over 100 eps of shippuden filler, and i'd gladly do that again instead of ever watching another episode of one piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most long-running shonen are only good for the first fifty or so episodes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've been skipping the opening and ending credits because the dub site I frequent uses the Japanese themes for the Naruto and OP, and I always much preferred the dubbed English version Viz and 4Kids themes.

Yes, and it seems the best anime tend to be around fifty episodes or shorter. I think elongating a series only helps with the merchandising prospects. Although One Piece usually gets ratings of around five percent and Japan is an aging country. Either the kids there really like it or there are a ridiculous amount of otaku. Or most likely both.

Top Gun Posted March 7, 2017 Share Posted March 7, 2017 Togashi, as in the creator of Hunter x Hunter. I only saw its 1999 anime adaptation after sitting through Naruto's opening arc, and all I could do was be amazed at just how much Kishimoto had ripped off the Hunter Exam (down to very minor details!) for the Chunin Exam, only he managed to lose most of what made the former enjoyable in the process.
