Unlike Cammy's monster cock.

Wow, nudity, I've never seen that in anime before.

To be fair, I wasn't refering to how naked he was. Just how freaking awesome he is.

This is Mio.

She once leapt off the back of a cargo plane in the upper atmosphere in nothing but a swimsuit and cut an alien battleship in half with a sword.

Damn you Anime and your stupid characters!

This is Gecko Moria. He can steal people's shadows and eat them to gain their powers. People without shadows are turned to dust in the sun. He has an island which is also a ship full of patchwork zombies.

This used to be my most hated character ever until I saw this screen in the new movie.

That's the power of an eyepatch.

This is Remilia Scarlet.

She is a 500-year-old vampire who can swing a massive spear with ease, fly around the world in a few seconds, and can manipulate fate.

She also contrives a whole game's plotline so her maid can make some new friends.

This is Yui.

She's pretty dense, lazy, single-minded and clumsy.

But she's pretty damn good at the electric guitar.

Nonono

'This is Yui, half of everyone watching K-ON! wants to stick their thingy in her.'

This is Summer Wars.

Joe loves Summer Wars.

Joe loves Summer Wars.

It won awards, it's prety much better than anything else on this page.

Fuck One Piece.

Shonen shit will be shonen shit whatever, unless it's G Gundam.

Sorry, but you're very wrong. Summer Wars features good characters + heartwarming end

One Piece features more good characters and multiple littler heartwarming ends.

It wins in sheer volume.

It also has a writer who thinks he's better than other writers in his refusal to kill anyone off, and by now the story is just so long with no real end goal apart from 'BECOMING THE KING OF THE PIRATES' that it's not worth my emotional involvement.

Sorry but you're very wrong, smaller stories win over bigger ones every time.

Wow, you know nothing. 1. He says he thinks killing people off as a cheap way to stir emotion is bad, he prefers to pull emotions in other ways, 2. people die 3. The plot has been advancing a hell of a lot. And the end goal is uncovering the secrets of the Rio Poneglyph, stopping the ancient weapons, uncovering One Piece, and defeating the world government.

So no, I'm not. I cried one and smiled once in joy with Summer Wars. I've done both multiple times with One Piece.

So why did Luffy's brother die again?

Because it worked. He doesn't use it when it would be cheap, but he's done it before when it fits.

That's such a dumb arbitary distinction 'It works' and 'It's cheap'

Zeta Gundam and Victory Gundam both had an amazingly high death count, not one of those deaths felt cheap to me so who is he to say where there's a line?

He's an author, it's what he personally feels, moron.

"lol dumb shonens"

Eh, the impression I got from reading that remark is it's more of a 'lol I'm better than other writers'

It's a misinterpretation, plus even if that is so, is the work lesser because of the opinions of the artist?

And take Franky's story:

Franky's real name is Cutty Flam (カティ・フラム, Kati Furamu). He was born in the South Blue. When he was young his parents (who are thought to have been pirates) threw him off their ship into the ocean. He was then rescued by a legendary shipwright named Tom. Tom took Cutty Flam in as his apprentice. Tom's other apprentice Iceburg then gave Cutty Flam the nickname "Franky" because "Cutty Flam is a weird name". Franky learned shipbuilding from Tom, but spent most of his time constructing warships designed to hunt and defeat Sea Kings, each one named "Battle Franky" with a number corresponding to the order of construction.

When Franky was 12, Tom was put on trial for having built the ship that Gol D. Roger sailed the Grand Line on. Tom was let off for ten years so he could finish building the Puffing Tom, a train that could sail the ocean. After fourteen years had passed (ten to build the train and the first line, four more to build the other three lines the train uses), the Marines were going to let Tom off as thanks for creating the train.

However, he was framed by CP5's current leader, Spandam, who was after the blueprints for the ancient weapon Pluton, which had been handed down to Tom through the shipwrights of Water 7. Spandam used the warships that Franky had built to fight the Sea Kings to attack Water 7, and although Tom and his apprentices stopped the attack, it appeared to everyone that they had been the ones attacking. As a result, Tom was sentenced to death. Franky then tried to protect Tom, and stood in front of the Puffing Tom , which was taking Tom away. When he was run down by the train, his body was badly injured; he was presumed dead.

He managed to fix himself with spare parts from an abandoned ship and had "BF 36" tattooed on his shoulders, making himself the 36th "Battle Franky". Four years after his disappearance, he went to see Iceburg and was outraged to find that he had allied himself with the World Government. The two argued, but Iceburg gave Franky the Pluton's blueprints and also was driven to tears over seeing Franky was still alive.

He can use death effectively.

Of course not, I started this argument with no hand and now I'm basically trolling.

I still think smaller stories are better though, Kanon is my personal favourite thng ever because there's no superfluousity in it at all. Even every line of narration has a double meaning.

Sure, but we were talking about Summer Wars and One Piece.

Robin: The ruins you destroyed are priceless, and even though history is always being created... Men cannot return to the past. Do you understand!?

Yama: I... I understand, I won't... Do that again... Forgive me...

Robin: No.

Seriously, One Piece is a story of humanity that grows out of mere shonen pretty early on. It's the greatest thing ever.

Eh.

I just don't have the commitment for another long runner.

Coward

Says the girl who won't watch or read anything with actual emotional depth.

I had to lie to you about Summer Wars to make you watch it.

Sucks to be you, I read the wiki summary before watching so I knew she died lol
