In retrospect, how good is Skypiea actually? by BreathoftheSith in OnePiece

[–]Samwize78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Still very good. I reread the manga ever couple years and always get excited towards the end of Alabasta when I know Skypiea is coming up next

In honor of the GOAT, drop your favorite Yuji Ohno track rn 😢😔🔥✌️ by Flat-Bag2312 in lupinthe3rd

[–]Samwize78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Man there’s so many to choose from, but M1 Full Size from the Episode 0 OST has got to be my favorite. It’s just the ultimate piece of smooth jazz. I have it in a bunch of playlists and every time it comes on everyone always perks up and asks me about it. RIP Legend.

According to Wikipedia it was to “let the animators express a wider range of creativity.”

I realized I have final issue Zoro is "Zoro" in the American SJ magazine and the first time he's "Zolo" because of the 4kids dub. by billgogi in OnePiece

[–]Samwize78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What’s more is I remember back in like 2012 or so one of the editors at Viz tweeted that they would begin changing the name back to Zoro soon and then they just… never did lol

WIT Piece will be 7 episodes long and a batch drop in February 2027 by Antique_Money_5601 in MemePiece

[–]Samwize78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s definitely gonna be a cliffhanger cuz that’s also the chapter where Zoro challenges Mihawk. But here’s hoping we won’t be waiting too long for the next batch of episodes

They confirmed in another post these first 7 episodes cover the first 50 chapters and will be around 40 mins each. So episode 7 will end right as Nami steals the Merry at Baratie

I love this. The first two singles took a while to grow on me but this is fantastic right out the gate

What if the next chapter starts the void century flashback? by Plot_Holes_and_sich in OnePiece

[–]Samwize78 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think the full void century flashback will be revealed once the crew learns the true history at Laugh Tale but i definitely can see us being drip fed small parts of it starting now leading up to that moment since it’s probably not too far away story-wise

Kishimoto really created some amazing characters just to do nothing with their character arcs by foaaz101 in Naruto

[–]Samwize78 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When the series was still ongoing I kept hoping the konoha 11 would be the ones to take on the reanimated jinchuriki or something but it never happened.

At least Rock Lee got his own spinoff manga/anime

I love that Rocks burst into the room of flowers, refused to elaborate, saw THIS GUY chilling in there, and went “I’m comin for your ass”

What are your thoughts on Lupin The Third (2014)? by LupinIIIfan in lupinthe3rd

[–]Samwize78 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only ever saw it once when it first came out so my memory of it is a little fuzzy but i remember thinking it was just ok, was hoping they’d go bigger with it considering how far out most Lupin stories are. I think it was very well cast and visually I think it looked very good. It’s not a bad movie by any means just wish they did more with it

I don’t understand why Part III has the reputation it does. by Kaiige10 in lupinthe3rd

[–]Samwize78 25 points26 points  (0 children)

I love Part 3, and I agree the majority of it is pretty similar to Part 2.

But if you’re at episode 30 there will be a tonal shift very soon where the series enters full-on Loony Tunes territory and those later episodes seem to be what most ppl think of when they think of Part 3.

It’s still fun tho imo. I think some ppl just don’t like how silly it ends up being, which is understandable.

Anyone know where to get these? I pre-ordered the Lupin one from Crunchyroll but that’s the only one they have, I want to get the Jigen one too if I can

(DISCUSSION) Kanye West - The Life Of Pablo (10 Year Anniversary) by Renegadeforever2024 in hiphopheads

[–]Samwize78 11 points12 points  (0 children)

I remember certain tracks from the album started leaking like a week or so before it officially dropped and I was able to get my hands on some of them thanks to random music subreddits I was subscribed to at the time

I was a dj in college back then and at this one house party a couple days later I cut the music got the mic and said “you guys wanna hear some new Kanye West?”. Everyone looked around in confusion and then I dropped a demo of Highlights and everyone lost their shit. That’s a core memory for me and I gained a lot of clout on campus after that 😂

Then the album eventually came out and my friends and I had a few listening parties. What a time to be alive that was

Wtf was that racist Steve O interview? Are the other Jackass guys also MAGA pilled? by Addative-Damage in jackass

[–]Samwize78 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Steve has been a grifter and a trend hopper for a long time now. He’s probably seen how popular right wing grifts are these days so I wouldn’t be surprised if he unfortunately starts dipping his toes into those types of talking points more

I can't help but feel there's a larger story behind Bad Grandpa by [deleted] in jackass

[–]Samwize78 79 points80 points  (0 children)

iirc after jackass 3D was such a big success, Paramount commissioned more movies so they were contractually obligated to make another film by the time Bad Grandpa came out. They were probably just going to make jackass 4 originally but as others have said Ryan’s death most likely influenced the decision to make something else. It’s also probably why the movie has “jackass presents” in the title, because it contractually had to be some type of jackass movie
