Speculations More things that bug me about Oda.

What about one piece women not wearing underwear? Does it detract? Or like how every fucking time oda has to remind us that kiku is a woman and Yamato thinks she's something she's not

Won't stop me from reading berserk. Nothing can stop me from reading berserk. Peak fiction.
Oda ain't as bad as Miura

The Ginny thing is proof of it. If Miura wrote that plot, we'd see every graphic detail of what the CDs did to Ginny, and Kuma would have probably been forced to watch it.

Funny how this thread has devolved into Berserk discussions
:specialmeh:

Btw Berserk is a good manga but I didn't see the hype that many people promised me
The excessive rape bs also tamped down the reading experience
I love Berserk. But I gotta admit that the casca situation does create a barrier of entry that a lot of people are not willing to cross, which is 100% understandable. When my wife watched the Berserk movies she ended up trembling and crying once we were done watching them.

List your top 5 animanga for me, let me judge your taste
Hunter x Hunter
Vegabond


Top 2 on my list.
Mobile Suit Gundam: Iron-Blooded Orphans (anime)

Next would be Kingdom (but I need to pick it up again).

After that, mangas like One Piece, Naruto, Bleach, DB, Code Geass.
I loved Gintama, but have not finished it yet.
Other than these, I occasionaly catch up with MHA (trash), BC, Bungo Stray Dogs, and other on-going weekly shonen jump series like JJK.
Manhwa: Noblesse and ToG.
Read God of High School and dropped it later, I think around Ragnarok (dragged as hell).

And many more, like Juuni Taisen. Black Cat.

But I will never understand why people rate Berserk so high. The art is great, but the story never appealed to me. Instead of Berserk, it should be named to Suffering x Suffering. I realized that the pay off will never be satisfactory, even if Guts gets his revenge and save Casca.
Plus, the fact that the rape scene is considered one of the best panels in Berserk is enough for me to hate it even more.

Ginny. Not one attack of hers was shown. Oda went through the trouble of creating her and giving her a fatal disease and making her a commander in the revolutionary army and giving her nothing personality or attack wise.

It's like she's some fantasy Oda had in his mind. He could have easily made Kuma Bonney's biological father but no he went the other route because you know the troupe characters like Kuma can't have kids.
Something that bugs me about Oda is the way he treats Usopp

Deadass, y'all should maybe read some real books. Japanese cartoons aren't the end all be all of fiction.
It's amazing how one piece women not wearing underwear doesn't detract you or Yamato thinks she's something she's not or kiku thinking he's a she. But you come here trying to influence our opinion.

There's nothing wrong with fetishist but it's like who's side are you on. Oda clearly made reference to Doflamingo and Viola having a sexual relationship. The former being the one thst killed her sister and forced her into servitude. With his depiction of Ginny and Bonney only to have her non biological dad basically be dead along with his treatment of Waipa etc he comes off as a total creep imo. They can't even hide the huge amounts of racism at toei with the constant rewrites, referring to mutiple black characters as monkeys etc. I mean if your a white male why would you care but he's definently not writing the story for people like me.

I cam only imagine what they wanted the writer of bleach to do before he got canceled. That just reminded me of how he depicted the Mexican kingdom in his own story. It's just unchecked bullshit it reminds me when the show directors of game of thrones wanted to do HBO show of America if slavery never ended. Everything is cool until the people you want to depict want a piece of you for your bullshit.
