Been rewatching the dubbed version of One Piece's Marineford Arc. It's so good. :)
You'd better believe I'm a bitter Bernie Sanders supporter. The Dems fucked up and fucked up hard. Hopefully they'll learn that neoliberalism and maintaining the status quo isn't the way to win this election or any other one. I doubt they will, though.

Yeah, the original. If you don't mind my asking, why didn't you like it?

I'm not really sure. I don't mind older anime, hell, some of my favourites are Fist of the North Star and Akira. On the same vein it wasn't the violence that turned me away. Again, some of my favourite anime are quite gory and violent. The story really didn't capture me, and I didn't find Guts that interesting.

I can see where you're coming from, the story is probably the edgiest/most angsty thing I've ever seen.

Yeah, the first episode is way different from the rest of the anime. With the second episode the story skips back a number of years, and the tone's different from the first episode.

The first episode is different from the rest of the series.

The first ep. is actually from a story that takes place after The Golden Age arc.

Finished arakawa under bridge, the setup is interesting and the comedy was pretty good in some parts thanks to the super random nature of events and some neat characters. It could have had better pacing and some jokes seem to require high levels of belief suspension at times which is perfectly in line with most anime i've watched I suppose.

It's extra fun for those of you who are familiar with the monogatari series, the two main characters in this are also voiced by Araragi and Shinobu's va's. In some ways it seems like a testing ground for some set pieces in monogatari to me. Almost like a mix of Monogatari and Gintama in some respects.

Solid show but it could have been a little bit better in places.

I suppose at first it is similar. Things change though.

Eh Emilia isn't that bad or particularly hot if that's what the hashtag means.

The pirates? The comedy? The fights? The story? The characters? It's all great.

At the same time, though, watching One Piece is a big time investment. I don't think you can really appreciate what's going on until your hundreds of episodes in and you truly understand the character's and their motivations.
