I’m lookin for something new to watch.
Personally my favorites have been
DBZ, Bleach, Full Metal Alchemist. Anything that’d fall along those lines? Something more along Bleach/FMA more so then DBZ. Any suggestions?[/quote]
Naruto pretty much follows the DBZ/Bleach/Shonen Jump formula.
Samurai 7, Samurai Champloo, Sword of the Stranger, Ninja Scroll, and Afro Samurai all have some swanky sword fight scenes. Plus the protagonists don’t stop in the middle of a fight to discuss their feeling and reasons for fighting.
You might like Heat Guy J and Last Exile. One can never go wrong with Ghost in the Shell (movies or animated series), Trigun, or Cowboy Bebop.[/quote]
Yah I watched Naruto - love it and now can’t wait for each episode to come out now that I’m caught up. I’ll have to look at some of those others you mentioned.[/quote]
if you want to read something like that, check out “One Piece”… similiar shonen jump style but I think the story is much much much better then bleach and dbz and I like the characters interactions more then naruto[/quote]
Once Piece will NEVER end[/quote]
The entire series of One Piece up until the time skip was just the prologue to the story. The creator has said that in terms of the characters age currently the story will go on for 10 more years.[/quote]

It makes sense if you think about it in terms of character development. The current crew was still forming all the way up to the shaboady arc, then they get split up in a climactic event leading to the impel down and war of the best arcs. Up to that point Luffy had never run into an enemy he couldn’t beat from the first half of the grand line. In the war of the best arc, he just straight up gets curb stomped by just about everyone from the new world(second half of grand line). This pretty much follows the shonen model where there’s a time skip between the younger age(naruto, dragonball) to the older age(naruto: shippuden, dragonball z).
In the series up to now Luffy is only now catching up to his brother and entering the new world 3 years or so after he started his journey.
If you follow the succession of the straw hat from Shanks to Luffy about 15 years prior, Shanks was already settled as one of the 4 emperors on the grand line(or had at least already fought with Shirohige). Following it back further to when Roger was executed 40 years ago there’s at least a 25 year period where Shanks had the hat. In other words, Shanks has spent a few decades on the grand line before passing on Rogers mantle to Luffy and Luffy is just getting to the new world now.
Obviously the story can’t be anywhere close to ending, even if Luffy manages to secure a spot as an emperor from that bitch Big Mam as is hinted in the current manga.[/quote]
Yeah it does make sense. I was just a little surprised. So will there be a separate continuity title or will Oda continue with the title of One Piece until the end?
