If you come in here looking for "anime recommendations" then please refer to this chart before posting: Anime Recommendations (as of may 2014). We also have an IRC channel called #tladt where we all hang out. The channel is on Rizon, not QuakeNet! Feel free to check it out. TLADT discord is Discord.gg

Once upon a time, I was just like you, and refused to give One Piece a chance, since at first glance, I thought the art looked bad. I used Usopp in particular as a talking point/excuse not to read/watch it. I was the biggest hater of One Piece back then. But then one day, Harem linked me to a video with Franky. And so I gave One Piece a shot. Now, not only is it one of my favorite anime/manga, but I also love the art. It really grows on you.

You like many others are displaying an arbitrary bias towards character design. There is no reason a character has to look "normal" while the story is forgiven to be anything but. Even stories and other elements are meant to cater towards certain demographics.

And how can you bring up Akatsuki no Yona as an example? Have you seen the guys? They're the fujoshi version of "cowtits."

well, of course, they don't have to look "normal", just like the story doesn't have to be "normal" either. It's a preference thing for me. As for Yona, I was using that to talk about the story aspect. For characters, yes, you're right. Some of them are the fujoshi version of "cowtits" ( if I understand what you mean lol).

It's hard to make a point when you constantly contradict yourself.

About Usopp: When I first got into One Piece I really didn't like him lol. But as time went on his character design just grew on me as it exaggerated all of his comedic aspects and it ended up suiting him really well.

But yes, the #1 reason for people not getting into One Piece is its art, which is a shame.

But really, not all of the character designs are weird. There be some hott characters, both male and female. =)

I honestly expect the same thing to happen to me if I give it a chance. Minus the appreciation of certain characters art. Some I might grow fond of. Usopp & Frankie unlikely.
I'll always hate that nose and lips though. I have always really hated it in any anime when they draw lips like that. I vow to pick it up if I ever get terminally ill, since if it's as good as people say it is then I'll have a really great story to take my mind off my inevitable death.

You say that, but everyone who gets converted to One Piece ends up liking the art. Few people convert to One Piece and hate on Usopp.

Franky is just a baller though, if you don't like Franky's design, it means you don't like roboots, which means you hate men's romance.

As an aside, according to Eiichiro Oda, if Usopp was born in our world, he'd be African. And I suppose Usopp's design is just Oda's comical way of portraying that.

you should be more open to stylism testie

check out this sick picture that shows how different artists choose to draw the same character

[image loading]

its a pretty extraordinary, beautiful and valuable thing , imo , once you understand how an artist can develop styles to express something in a unique, personal way

there is also something grand and gorgeous about the ugly

that guy from one piece is characterised by being ugly but resilient

you got a similar style in Kaiji (you must have seen that right, its like top 5 anime of all time) where the mc is characterised by being ugly and desperate, and the artist managed to personify this with a such a powerful, ugly style

The One Piece art is hit and miss with me. Some characters I think are godlike in art and design and others I am pretty meh over. Still doesn't change that its an amazing manga. Like I really do not like how exaggerated Oda made Franky post time skip. It just doesn't look good to me (tooo exaggerated for my taste and his shoulders/arms make his design so imbalanced) but with it Oda added a lot of cool shit to him so it evens out and you get used to it in the end.

Franky I don't mind but there are some not-so-important characters/villains that I think look pretty dumb. There are so many characters in One Piece though so it's like, he has to make things look really quirky so they don't end up all looking the same.

Usopp's long nose is because hes a liar. Its also why his name has "Uso" in it.

When you've been reading One Piece for a while, you know that Usopp is one of the coolest and manliest characters. A true God.
Also: dat "scene" with Luffy (you know what I'm talking about). Enough said.

l0l, such patrician comments today. I guess another typical TLADT day? huehuehue

@Souma, I prob appreciate oppai as much as you (possibly less, you truly like your oppai o/) and often 'cowtits' becomes an objection to oppai portrayal in animu. So my question to you is where's your cut off? When does it enter "too big" territory?

Has Log Horizon publication been impacted prior to this tax indictment (e.g. slower releases/halts)? or this sudden news for the animu world?

Depends on the character, Neo, and the shape of the oppai. Too situational :<

Aaand this is sudden news.

I'll check it out. I liked Baka to Test and Rolling Girls which seem to have some similar qualities to this. Just got so much I'm watching I may not watch anything this season and just watch stuff later.

as too big.

WTF, really? Anyone who said that must be crazy.


one of the reasons why i dropped HSoTD anime is because there is too much ecchi. Well the manga isn't different but later on it felt like i was watching for the ecchi and lost interest in it.
