2021-04-02 at 10:56 AM UTC in anime is gayThe music of the show is really great though. Not a bad show to watch at all by itself even in uncut form. Just on a rewatch or something OnePace will help a lot.

Originally posted by mmQ Well fine have a view from somewhere then. God has the view from his perspective. And some other god from his perspective is watching our god watch us from his perspective. Infinite gods or even just infinite things or 'existences' like the reflective mirror thing
That view must intrinsically be limited. For example there is no "right" point of view for simultaneity once distances grow large. Imagine your friend and you take synchronized clocks into rockets and start accelerating away from each other at the same rate in the exact same way, then at a prearranged time on your local clock, you turn on a light. Your light is red and your friend's light is green. Now the mindfuck is that depending on how you are accelerating and where you are oriented, you could observe either the red or green light turning on first. But god could make true statements about how (for example) you will never in any reference frame see the light turning on before you press the button. This is the essence special relativity. The key insight is that there is simply no fact of the matter about which one turned on "first". It's literally a matter of perspective.
But in a sense you are describing us: we have a limited view from somewhere and we affect the world to try to make it conform to our will in some way. -

2021-04-02 at 3:38 AM UTC in anime is gayThe story of the manga is like 70-80% done. The anime is something like 1 year behind the manga.
The reason I recommend the OnePace version is because it really helps to actually match the pacing up in the early parts.
During the early parts Toei wanted to avoid catching up with the manga so there are many filler and reused scenes and filler arcs.
They did a good job in places such as Baratie and most of Skypiea. Also no matter what, after Skypiea there is one excellent filler called G8 you should definitely watch.
However for shit like Dressrosa, you will reduce like 120 episodes into 50 and it is bloody helpful to just have normal pacing without shit being stretched out, specially since you won't need to skip as many intros.
Again it is fine if you don't care, still a great show to watch uncut but it's far from the incredibly well paced and executed story of the manga. -

There's actually no way to have a "view from nowhere" in this view of the world (which is at least to an extremely high degree of applicability, true). Really even god himself would not be able to say what is or isn't. -

Originally posted by Data I've watched enough to know it definitely isn't kid oriented. It goes pretty hard story-wise. It's just too much IMO and I can't stand animes where the whole purpose is fighting. The main character always has that goku attitude and this insatiable vigor for life (and food) that is just so fucking predictable after you've watched a few animes. It's like they're all the same people from anime to anime. A lot of the times they even have the same voice actors. I'm pretty sure the English Zorro is also Piccolo and like 10000o00000 other things too. But even if it's not literally the same, they always have the same kind of voice. It's so boring.
Regular non-anime TV is like this too, I'm just picky as fuck.
If you give it just a bit you'll see it isn't really about fighting very much, although climaxes are centered around fights.
The thing is that the entire East Blue Saga is literally an introduction. They essentially gather up the core of the pirate crew in this saga. That is the first 100 chapters or ~55 episodes (or 27 OnePace episodes + 14 official episodes for Baratie)
So basically the series doesn't even really get started with what 90% of it is about (the adventures of the crew) until after the first saga, which is about introducing the core crew members.
At minimum Luffy cannot really be compared to Goku at all aside from some stereotypical shounen protagonist traits (like loving food).
Even those types of traits are never taken for granted, for example eating is a big part of actually forming his personality and relationships rather than some stupid gag.
You should watch until at least Baratie (third or fourth main arc, where they acquire their chef, Sanji), to understand. But then this same relationship is not just done once and ignored, it is brought back and done in mind-blowing fashion in the Whole Cake Island arc (episode 780 or some shit!)
That's the thing, it is fucking long but there is a reason, it does storytelling right. -

2021-04-01 at 10:56 PM UTC in anime is gayI'm seriously not mending or anything, it is legitimately a modern day epic. It's impossible for me to relate (as I am already on the latest manga week by week) what incredible adventures lie in store for you except to just tell you to read (or watch) it.
All I can say is, use OnePace. The editing is very well done to rework the official show and really cut down that run time. But if you really want the real experience, just read the manga. -

Originally posted by Data That's 11 hours of television lol.
They are still really good from the start but in about 30 episodes you will understand why people stayed for 1000 episodes already.
Not some critical plot point or anything either, you will just understand the appeal of the show because it will show it by demonstration.
But it's not a show where any story is ever told in only one episode because each episode is very short. -
2021-04-01 at 10:50 PM UTC in What are you doing at the momentImagine the planet Earth floating in space, lonely with a backdrop of distant stars and perhaps the sun, our mental camera planted firmly upon the moon.
To visualize the dimension of time, imagine the electromagnetic radiation being emitted and reflected by the earth and everything on it, including the visible light you see it as now, coming at you (as chance would have it) at the speed of light. What you are picturing, from your vantage point, that light is 1.255 seconds old. Similarly if your mom were standing on Earth looking up at the moon, the light she would be receiving would be 1.255 seconds old.
Now imagine all of Earth's light that it emits in one instant, all expanding spherically outward like a 3 dimensional wavefront. In a very real sense, that "wavefront" is literally that "instant" travelling out to influence the universe. Imagine you have a network of red laser beams all around the world, ready to fire together. You click your remote control to send the signal to fire. Imagine that signal emnating from your remote in the same way, radiating outwards over a full second (the wavefront is one lightsecond thick, by the time it finishes sending, it only has 0.255 seconds left to cover) and one section of it travelling towards the Earth. Then after a 10 second delay, all the lasers fire in a synchronized fashion, blasting red lasers out towards the universe. That moment of the lasers firing is now travelling throughout the universe at the speed of light. Meanwhile the rest of the universe also flows in towards the Earth continuously. Each second of the Earth's future is arriving in the Earth's "now" from the past of the rest of the universe, in a circular fashion, and flowing into the earth's past (the future for the rest of the universe). The easiest visual analogy to think of would be to imagine putting a narrow ring around a very wide fabric tube and pulling the tube through the ring.
The fabric contracts in "from the future" to pass through the ring as you slide it in one direction, and becomes the past as it slides in the direction away from which you are moving.Q
See, the thing is that the speed of light isn't just the speed at which massless particles appear to travel in all frames of reference. The speed of light is actually the speed of causality itself, hence the constant "c". Not only can nothing communicate faster than that speed, that is also very genuinely "how fast things happen", it is literally the speed of reality.
So standing on the moon, you are actually genuinely "1.255 seconds away" from the earth, even if it would take you longer to actually get there on a rocket or something, because your reflected and emitted light would continue to affect things at that speed. So imagine that flow in and out in 3 dimensions to be that 4th dimension of time. "Out" goes your past and "in" flows the future. -
