I'm on episode 59 of OP, and I'm glad I stuck with it. The beginning was a bit slow and I didn't really like the style/animation but it's really quite fantastic. So glad to know there's over 600 episodes #GameOn

Even funnier because the specific arc you're watching interferes severely with Oda's manga canon

That's how 2 cour shows work.
It gives the animators time to work on the anime and bring HQ, and not like filler trash most anime end up having, being outsourced to Korea.

F/SN :UBW ep.12
God, Shirou is such an idiot. He deserved everything he got this episode.
That date scene though... Rin and Saber...
I was about to say the wait was gonna suck, but we're getting 26 more episodes of Jojo comin up next season.
man, I'm still hoping for Holy Diver to be the ED for the 2nd half of Stardust Crusaders, But I can still get behind Walk like an Egyptian.

Tank!, Clutch (from the movie), The Realfolk Blues, and Battlecry from SC.The Real Folk Blues has it beat in my eyes.
My favorite anime-related song ever, followed by Samurai Champloo's Shiki no Uta
Also, shout out to Green Bird from the ballad of Fallen Angels episode of Cowboy Bebop. Still gives me chills to this day with it haunting melody.
Green Bird on my iPod in English and Japanese. Cowboy Bebop soundtrack is flames!

wtf...

[h2]Anime ninja girl figurine takes it in the butt, doesn’t seem to mind what “it” is[/h2]
Let’s play a little word association game. What’s the first word that comes to mind when you hear Senran Kagura?
I’m guessing at least a couple of you just said “Gesundheit.” Those of you who keep up on anime or Japanese video game releases, though, probably answered “Boobs.” After all, the Senran Kagura anime and video game series is about ridiculously oversized mammaries first, and ninja schoolgirl fighting action distantly second.
However, the problem with any long-running franchise is the risk of things growing stale, which would be especially problematic for Senran Kagura, because it’s hard to imagine something more unappealing than stale breasts. So after a half-dozen games, an anime TV series, and five different manga adaptations, Senran Kagura is poised to enter a new area: butts.
Online anime retailer Chara-Ani is currently taking orders for this 175-milimeter (6.9-inch) figure of pink-tressed ninja Hibari.
As you can see, the 1/8 scale figurine makes use of two of Senran Kagura’s most recognizable design cues: copious amounts of cleavage, and only a cursory acknowledgment of physics, as we’re not quite sure how Hibari managed to slip those gym bloomers on over such a frilly pair of panties.
▼ Actually, we’d just assumed that given the target market, she’s supposed to be stripping down, but taking another look, it’s entirely possible she’s just having trouble getting dressed in the first place.
But like we said, this figure represents a new dawn for the series, and while the bust catches the eye (and also threatens to poke it out), the real star here is the derriere. Made with a silicon infused material, Chara-Ani says Hibari’s butt is soft and pliable. Even though we’re sure its construction will be pleasing to lonely otaku who just want to rub or slap it (or, we’re guessing, kiss it), the manufacturer also points to some practical uses for the figure’s backside.
Yes, that’s a scroll of ninja secrets gripped firmly but softly in Hibari’s butt. While several of her in-game attacks employ her behind, this seems to be the first time it’s been used as a storage rack.
▼ Speaking of racks, the figure’s chest doesn’t seem to have the same functionality.
And don’t worry, there’s a perfectly good reason one of the promotional shots features a scarf-wearing rabbit attached to her hindquarters. You see, Hibari is occasionally assisted in battle by Ninto, the ninja rabbit. Ninto can help Hibari leap high into the air, summon a lightning-spewing cloud, and…now that we think about it, doesn’t actually have to be latched onto her hindquarters.
▼ Although again, maybe we’re just looking at this from the wrong perspective, and Ninto is actually stuck and trying to escape from Hibari’s crack.
Chara-Ani points out that the pliant buttocks is good for more than just displaying otherSenran Kagura paraphernalia in the most awkward way possible. For example, it also makes a handy place to store an SD card.
▼ If it contains anything other than porn, sorted into two folders (“big butts” and “huge butts”), we don’t think the owner is using this setup correctly.
Other ideas include using the figure as a pencil stand (with or without a cap that turns it into an enchanted weapon), a place to loop errant cables around, and, of course, crossovers with other figures that have an ample supply of tentacles.
▼ We just sort of assumed with that last one, but Chara-Ani is still thoughtful enough to include an explanatory photo.
If you’ve got to get this baby who’s got back, Chara-Ani is taking preorders for the 11,046-yen (US$94) figure here, with shipment scheduled for late April. The website cautions that each individual buyer is limited to a maximum of 10 figures, or 20 cheeks.

Is there a part 2 to GUNSLINGER GIRL? So far, the episodes seem fast to me, LOL. Is this how the format goes? Seems melachonic to me.

There is. I can't quite remember the name of it though. I think it's GSG :Teatrino or something like that.

Proves my point about about Oda and how ya'll be looking too deep into ****.
I guess it's still fun to look for themes, and don't think that I don't understand and appreciate Oda's genius, but he doesn't write the manga with the intention of creating religious allegories and ****

Speculation is still fun to do though.
Its like reading game of thrones and predicting who jon snows father is. You do it mainly because of how much of a fan u are

Oda: I think she's alive. I'm still thinking hard about this. [Laughs] But if she does appear in the story, then she'll be a very tough-looking woman. And strict. There's no way that she's a beautiful mother. She's got this typical middle-aged woman's permed hair. Speaking about families, I did a backstory for Nico Robin and her family. That was actually the first time for me to draw a mother in a character's memory. Up until that point, I'd never drawn a blood relation. In Chopper's case, he's called a son even though he's not blood-related. So I've put in a message there saying that you can still call someone who's not related by blood your family.
There's a quote of him talking about he put a message in. The most likely case is he doesn't start arcs out intending for them to have a specific message but as he writes the arcs messages and certain themes develop and readers can take from them what they want. Anyway the article I had posted earlier was analyzing possible historical and religious references and inspiration more so then Oda pushing a message. But again like we've both said it's about what readers want to take from the story and speculation and analysis just adds depth and gives readers more to discuss while they wait for new chapters. It's like when I took a Lit class a while back, the teachers would talk about how water is a symbol for a bunch of things, and some times we were like why can't the water just be water? It's a matter of interest and perspective I guess.
