@DiZee_TV I dropped off midway through S4. I think it was probably just too heavy without enough other things to balance. Always planned to catch up eventually until I heard about Glenn. In S1, I said I was out if that character died, and I meant it. (obviously didn't read the comics ha)
One Piece is goofy as hell, especially early on, and lends itself very easily to animation because of how the universe works. I cannot imagine a live action version being watchable, and it's from Netflix with their track record...
It is just wild to me that good shows can be canceled after a season or two for not doing Stranger Things numbers, but after Death Note and Cowboy Bebop they are still funding new live action animes.
@thejstoobs I would still love to hear your thoughts on games, if you ever get the time to put them out there! I really enjoy the way you talk about media, so adding some games to the list would be awesome! 😊
@ArtaniaVIII@Valkyrae One Piece has a lot of stalling/stretching of the source material. So there's overly-long dramatic buildups and copious flashbacks, but there's not a ton of unrelated/filler episodes like most other animes of the similar length. Just take your time, and don't get overwhelmed. 😊
@ArtaniaVIII@Valkyrae No show that has that many episodes is going to be consistently great. It has luls and frustrations throughout, but what makes One Piece great is the emotional undertones. Every single arc is emotional starting early on and keeps escalating. Huge time investment no matter what.
The Menu has made me such a Hong Chau fan. The way I almost screamed out loud when I saw "Guest Starring: Hong Chau" in the Poker Face credits! 🥰
PS - Poker Face is great so far.
The CSF demo was so fun! Can't wait to get my hands on it in April for more! My favorite part is Nori's victory line when you complete a day. (Always great to hear @ElspethEastman in games!) Can't wait to see more from the rest of the cast, the world building, and the FOOD! 🤤
Been waiting for this shoe to drop since the buyout.😮💨Really gonna miss my stupid, fucked up family of misfits. Get these shows however you can while they're still on the platform. Things tend to disappear forever from HBO Max soon after cancellation.
Nothing can convince me that that will not run the christmas commercial like they have for the past ~25 years. The spokescandies will never truly retire.
