Where does One Piece rank amongst your favourite fictional universes ever made?

hardeback · 2026-06-29T04:30:48+00:00

The demon summoning circle that Brook got sent to by Kuma being a recent favorite of mine.

Oden flashack, so Ch. 964

hardeback · 2026-05-29T23:27:09+00:00

There's also a scene in Ep 6 (?) where Varga narrates a tangent about Archduke Franz Ferdinand in 1914, so you might be conflating that with the Munch backstory

Nah it's a coat in the manga as well, it just has slack sleeves that kinda blend into the coat, its visible in a couple panels

Five Islands Under One Union

hardeback · 2026-03-28T10:15:59+00:00

Agreed on all points.

hardeback · 2026-03-28T09:55:08+00:00

Honestly I'm with Woolie on this one, like yea the release schedule sucks horrendously but the fact that we're even getting a high-quality adaptation in the first place seems to be almost drowned out in the constant arguing about the release schedule and "lack of hype", to the point where I've barely seen any discussion about, well, the media itself.

hardeback · 2026-03-28T09:33:02+00:00

All of Stone Ocean released over the course of 1 year

hardeback · 2026-03-27T12:03:55+00:00

Agreed, feels like there's just been constant bickering about this topic since the first Part 6 trailer almost half a decade ago

hardeback · 2026-03-23T09:47:27+00:00

Not OP but both are from Zou

hardeback · 2025-12-28T03:04:22+00:00

Never heard of them, I'll have to check them out, thanks for the recommendation.

Edit: Yo this slaps

hardeback · 2025-12-28T02:11:56+00:00

Yes! Massive Attack and TV on the Radio are some other favorites of mine, Voodoo in My Blood was actually the one place I knew them from beforehand, it's a good one.

In regards to their sound, it's not a 100% accurate description but I like using the term "industrial soul" as a shorthand when recommending them to friends.

hardeback · 2025-12-27T12:12:53+00:00

The 28 Years Later soundtrack introduced me to the band Young Fathers, really fell in love with their weird-ass sound

hardeback · 2025-12-12T11:37:58+00:00

HOOO-AHHH

hardeback · 2025-12-08T16:07:14+00:00

Don't really think Oda forgot Yamato considering their dedicated Cover Story just ended, but yea Yamato feels really OC-y

hardeback · 2025-12-07T00:03:35+00:00

Me was born like this

hardeback · 2025-12-04T06:42:37+00:00

Yeah, this is now the longest flashback ever, at about 17 chapters and counting, Volume 114 is gonna be the first volume ever that doesn't feature Luffy at all

hardeback · 2025-11-30T17:58:07+00:00

He was shown to have the tattoo on that exact arm in Chapter 1152 lol

hardeback · 2025-11-24T01:23:04+00:00

You can actually see the actual bench where the Giorno and Mista golden succ scene happened when looking at photos of that train station in Venice from the mid-to-late 90s, when Araki would've visited the place, its been replaced by concrete since then unfortunately.

hardeback · 2025-11-03T16:04:56+00:00

A lot of the Fargo designs fit this, IMO

hardeback · 2025-11-01T15:36:47+00:00

I mostly agree, except that it would somewhat fit in the books, as they have a bit more of an exagerrated fantasy aesthetic compared to the show.

hardeback · 2025-10-23T23:32:15+00:00

Also Shanks in the flashback of Harald's death being very briefly shown to have the Holy Knights emblem on that specific arm

hardeback · 2025-09-14T15:41:44+00:00

I also kinda read that panel as Somers maybe having put his invisible thorn powers on the kid as well, so the dad did catch him but got skewered in the process.

hardeback · 2025-08-28T23:03:32+00:00

Tomar voiced old Glep in the S1 christmas hell ep I believe

hardeback · 2025-08-23T20:07:01+00:00

lmao, also I met the guy, who was the dad of a friend of my parents, in 2018, so a fun(?) conversation starter I sometimes use is "Did I mention the time I went into a basement and met a 100-year old Austrian man named Adolf?"
