LOL. Yeah. If you wait for the US releases, 4 weeks is short. Of course, personally, I'd hate to be reading it chapter by chapter like that anyway. You just don't get enough at once. I much prefer to read or watch stuff in much larger blocks. |

I'm used to waiting since I'm a die hard FMA fan. (Not just waiting for the English volumes either since I used to read scans
 What? Don't judge me.) But since that ended, One Piece is my favorite still running manga and when I heard about the break I died a little on the inside.
But that's me being an idiot since this guy is freaking bad-ass. He deserves that 4 week break. I'm surprised he hadn't taken a break sooner. A decade of manga...seriously. Eiichiro Oda's manlier than Kamina and Chuck Norris combined! spoiler[  I just read an interview between him and Akira Toriyama. He's such a fanboy that it makes him awesomer.]
So until then, I can't wait to see One Piece again. |

This is funny timing. My tweenaged little brother loves One Piece and he just finished collecting all 54 volumes. He's already started whining about how he has to wait soooo long for the next one. Now he's not alone!

My favorite thing about One Piece is how characters don't die and actually come back later like in American comics. It's funny because people only die in flashbacks.

Just about. I think we're about 1 or 2 volumes behind. Maybe 3 if you count what has been published in serialized magazine form. The next volume of Berserk comes out here in September, but the last volume was in February. It was sticking close to an every-other-month release until now. I've honestly been dreading when it catches up because now it's basically at the mercy of when Miura decides to get something done. I love the guy's work, but he has some sizable gaps in there. I have to give One Piece major credit. It took this long for there to even be a one month break. |

I've never understood the appeal of One Piece. I've read on again, off again all the way up to Thriller Bark in between other series, just for the sake of keeping current, and I still don't get it.
I don't think it's bad, though I suppose it evens out as "incredibly average" in my opinion. But I just find it odd how many people complain about other shonen series for dragging, yet One Piece is possibly going to be going on for another decade and people are just exceedingly ecstatic about it. Heck, it seems to me that though One Piece, in my opinion, hits alot of pitfalls that other series encounter, but many people just seem to ignore it and treat it as a sacred cow. But that's the internet for you. I could say more but I really don't want to throw off all the good mojo for the fans here. I just wanted put it out there as level-headed as possible |

@Shenl742:
You either love it or don't. It's really that simple. And I sure as hell don't love it. |

I guess this is completely pointless because once someone has an opinion on the big shounen 3, they usually stick with it for life, but hey, I might as well try. The main reason most really like One Piece is because, well, it's really that stagnant or at the very least, it does a very good job of hiding it. True, many including myself will agree that there are two or so arcs that go on for far far longer than they need to but the main thing is that things just always keep happening. If something has taken a while to develop, it's so a series of even larger developments can occur later. If an adventure has something pointless or unexpected, even that can have long-term repurcusions in later chapters, thereby rewarding the long-term viewers/readers with the satisfaction of a constant romantic epic that is consistently changing and the realization of "Oh my god, he's planned this stuff out since chapter 1." Plus, I feel the cast is just fantastic. The main crew are just tons of fun to watch and interact with and I'd even admit that the manga uses females the third best in a shounen manga next to Fullmetal Alchemist and Claymore. A positive benefit to the anime adaptation is the stellar voice-acting combined with the soundtrack that goes into it. Just about everyone in it is able to convey the emotion of happiness or sadness or hot-bloodednes or anything that is needed for the situation. The difference of the long-runner One Piece compared to say, Conan (or heck, even Bleach) is that it just always keeps moving. Even when it doesn't look like it's moving, it still is. It has the flaws that are there and even the fans will acknowledge them but the positives of seeing this adventure unfold are what drives us to continue watching. It's just...fun is all I can say. |

Oh Oda, you deserve a break. I think he should take a longer break even!

spoiler[Do not read if you aren't prepared for a giant spoiler. Okay, I gave fair warning, later on Ace gives up his life to save an exhausted and powerless Luffy and sadly dies in the process. It's extremely sad and considering that Ace's insides were all completely burnt and his heart stopped, there is no way he could ever come back. I never expected that to ever happen and for that reason, I love reading One Piece.] There is almost nothing worse than reading a manga and knowing the ending. Even worse is if that ending you foresee comes true or is really close to it. Happened with a manga that I once read before dropping due to predictability. Started out really strong, but lost it's steam later on and became quite average. |

God yes, I can't wait for the two years man. Luffy and crew are going to be so badass.
I knew where Oda was going with this a while back, I've played videogames for so long that I recognized the route he was taking, and damn did the mugiwara's hella need it. They were walking right into new territory with out leveling up. Bad idea. I love this series.
The internet doesn't buy shit. I thought that has been well established.
We that have read the whole series just kind of look at people that question it and laugh. You gotta read it all the way, you can't just duck in and duck out like you do with common series. One Piece is an adventure that surpasses regular shonen in every way. Many compare it to Dragonball and I agree, but that era is over. This is now and Oda is making what Toriyama made at the time. Obviously It's not new or unique, but what it does is blend what other juggernauts like Naruto (Kishimoto) and Bleach (Kubo) could never hope to accomplish. It's not stale 10 years down the road.

I can't wait to see the time skipped characters new looks. I'm glad we are getting a nice little rest from it. Gives ODA a chance at recovering and develop some new ideas for the second half

His first break in over ten years... Oda-san will step outside and say, "Who put that bright light-bulb up there?!" and then go right back inside and have a drink. Hmm maybe I'm just thinking about what I do on Sunday morning
And seriously, this is only about halfway for the series?! He must be trying to make Toriyama-san wet his pants or something. Everybody together now -- ♪ It's a neverending stor~~~y la la laaa ♫ |
