I love how enamored Khrushchev was with the American pianist Van Cliburn. It was supposed to be a rigged competition in which a Soviet pianist won but Khrushchev was so blown away by Cilburn that he won anyway

It honestly pisses me off so much how the fans have been treating animators recently. Ohira and Weilin Zhang are two of the goats yet for some reason they got so disrespected by fans who know nothing about animation and have no appreciation for it

That’s a good question actually. I’m sure that he’s accumulated some in his lungs since he’s been smoking since he was really young, but it could’ve easily been healed by now.

Im not a suck up, I respect animators and see animation as an art form, which it is by definition. A vast majority of 2d animation is done solely by hand, and many animators see the use of AI as extremely distasteful and even offensive. Accusing any animator of using ai is rude.
@raphstwit
Yeah that’s the plot of the show. Your social class is defined by your magic capabilities. So even if you come from a noble bloodline but don’t have as strong of magic as the rest of your family you’ll be outcasted. Asta has swords that absorb/cut magic and that’s how he gets by
@bigdannyfr
people need to learn the difference between durability and endurance.
Durability is the amount of damage something can negate, or how much force it takes to damage something. It’s physical. Sanji.
Endurance is the actual ability to tolerate damage, it’s more mental. Zoro.
@bigdannyfr
While I don’t think either are true, it’s never been inferred that Zoro is on or near Luffy’s level. While there are instances of Sanji being portrayed at or near Zoro’s level.
So I gotta go Zoro=Luffy
At Crocodile’s Rainbase in Alabasta, a captured Luffy, Zoro, Nami, Usopp and Smoker are moments from becoming a meal for Croc’s pet Bananawanis. But yet again, Sanji had snuck into the bottom of Rainbase, and took out the Bananawanis just in time before the building could flood.
In the following pages, Sanji delivers his iconic line “I just needed a light”, before passing out from Enel’s attack. If Sanji doesn’t tank this attack, Usopp and Nami would’ve both died at the hands of Enel.
Sanji has even more last minute saves throughout the series. Against Doflamingo, against Vergo. As well as coming up clutch on the CP9 train and at Little Garden.
Suffice to say, when it comes to being at the right place at the right time, there’s nobody better than Sanji
Perhaps one of Sanji’s most iconic moments is his entrance in Skypeia. Usopp is hurt while attempting to distract Enel, & after knocking Usopp down, Enel prepares a killing blow, but before he can deliver it Sanji flies in & kicks Usopp away, taking Enel’s attack head on.
@bigdannyfr
One of my favorite moments in the series. Brook saw their bond and recognized how special the Strawhats were. I hope that soon we can get a Zoro and Sanji 2v1 AND a real Brook fight.
Once again, it’s Sanji who comes in to save the day. Dealing a swift kick, he knocks Jabra back. Previously he had been incapacitated by Kafka, but by a stroke of luck was able to get free. He then encourages Usopp to find Robin, and to leave Jabra to him.
At Enies Lobby, while Zoro is occupied with Kaku, Nami and Usopp are facing a threat yet again. Jabra tricked Usopp, luring him him and severely injuring him. Jabra taunts Usopp for being weak, and threatens to kill him in front of Nami who begs him to stop.
@7jeeeeeeec
That makes sense actually. I just recently started Haikyuu and I’ve loved seeing how there’s a lot of cross art between the two. I didn’t know about it previously.
Right wingers are the only real anime fans because 99% of anime is a celebration of beauty, strength, family and/or heroism, all things miserable self-victimizing leftists like you despise
Cope and seethe

Hody Jones. Bro was legit just a hater. He had no reason to do anything he did, he was just a racist lmao. Overall just super underwhelming villain imo.
There is one character that I believe has truly mastered the art of the perfect timing entrance however, and it’s not Luffy.
In terms of the sheer number of profound and impactful entrances, there is no character better than the chef of the Strawhats: Sanji.

People that say they aren’t have never experienced real friendship in their lives. Me and my best friends have nearly killed each other like a dozen times but that’s what makes us so close🤷♂️

@7jeeeeeeec
This is so sweet. I can’t imagine how Sorachi and so many other mangakas who idolized Toriyama must be feeling.
I hope we can come together to appreciate them all as well just as they have done with Toriyama.
Like a first impression, how you enter an environment is important, an opportunity to make a statement. The people around you at this time may already be familiar with who you are, but your attitude, demeanor, attire and choice of words can set & reshape the tone & atmosphere.

Hi! This must be your first time on Twitter dot com. You see, when a tweet blows up, people generally plug things, in my case, this, because in the US we have a for profit healthcare system that makes all service prohibitively expensive.

Thinking that men and women are unable to be genuine friends and can only have relationships on the basis of having sexual relations or not is so pathetically closed minded.
Ace of the Diamond is the most fun I’ve ever had reading a manga. There is so much to love about it. The characters, the art, the story, the game of baseball itself, and most importantly how it teaches you that in the real world things are not always going to go your way.
@HiatusxHiatusss
I like the muted color palette a lot. CSM is a very grungy series. It takes place in the 90’s too so a more muted tone would be fitting since tv color wasn’t quite as good yet.
This is inexcusable and disgusting behavior. Sanji_trumpet cannot be allowed a platform any longer. This person is filled with nothing but hate, and takes his continued disgusting acts as some sick joke. We as a community should no longer tolerate the presence of such a person.
It’s brutally realistic in how it portrays the journey of an athlete and the intense dog-eat-dog world that is Japanese High School Baseball. Most players never see the field, some give up, some have career ending injuries, and not every team is made equal.
@NBABlackburn
Dominance is becoming so good that people hate you just because of that alone.
That’s where Jokic is currently heading right now.
Jokic is one of the more likable and humble guys in the league. But he gets bashed left and right just because he’s great.
@Luffy_negs_
This cut from Becks’ op. There’s so much weight to it and each characters movement and expression fits their personalities to a tee. Especially impressive considering this is from 2004. Prime Madhouse at its finest.
Some of the greatest entrances are the ones that happen at just the right time. A devastating blow is mere inches away from landing on your ally, only for you to swoop in at the last second and save the day. One piece is full of scenes like this, by everyone from Shanks to Luffy
If you made it this far, thank you all so much for reading. I absolutely adore this series and believe it doesn’t get near the love and attention it deserves. I was not able to cover everything because of the post limit, but know that there is much more to this series than this.
@FemboyYt
I feel like Karl’s Bait and Tackle/Mystery Tackle Box would at least seem semi-willing. They definitely sponsor the most diverse group of people. It seems like as long as you’re a content creator they’re willing to give you a shot. Maybe I’m wrong though.
@McDuffie2Heaven
Nashville, Charlotte, Memphis and New Orleans could all easily support an MLB franchise. It’s a smaller city but baseball is MASSIVE in Birmingham as well. Very historic city when it comes to the game.
Eijun is not supposed to be special at the start. He begins the series quite literally at the bottom of the pecking order. He has talent, but he lacks the knowledge and experience to utilize it. The series is a slow burn as it follows Eijun in his journey of learning the game.
Ace of the Diamond is a masterpiece of relationship story telling. The contents of it are perfect representations of what the sport of baseball is like and the bonds it creates. As I soon move on to Act 2, I can only imagine what new characters and events will await.
@reidwinterfb
Nah it’s cool. And bear meat is great btw. Nothing is gonna go to waste. The only stuff that won’t be used by people are the intestines, and they’ll still feed scavenging animals. The guides will get some meat too. And the money used will go to wildlife conservation.
An underrated aspect of the manga is Yuji Terajima’s knowledge of the sport. The man has very clearly spent most of his life learning about the game of baseball. His knowledge is showcased in the dialogue, explanations, in game situations, and the fluidity of his art.
Furuya is a foil to Eijun. Blessed with talent from birth, but talent that is held back by severe limitations such as his lack of stamina. However, Furuya does not think he is better than Eijun. He sees Eijun as an equal, a threat to his role as the ace, but not an enemy.
@ParadiseTotsuka
I think there’s a time and a place for it. Like if it’s a really significant fight I wouldn’t mind at all but this fight has been portrayed as being a lot more intense than it actually was.
Eijun however is the embodiment of the indomitable human spirit. He is overwhelmingly energetic and enthusiastic. Though he is not immune to doubting himself, as seen when he gets the yips and becomes unable to pitch for several games.
@SaitoSennin
@bigdannyfr
You’ve been missing the point. It goes against the narrative of one piece for Zoro to be closer to Luffy than Sanji. It goes Yonko>>>YC1>YC2 and always has. The two are literally called Luffy’s wings. It’s not even powerscaling, just story and world building analysis.
A frequent complaint about it is that Eijun constantly gets “shafted”. But this is intentional. He’s not a chosen one, he is going to fail and fail a lot. As the series progresses though those failures become less common, but remain destructive to his psyche, and hurt to read
The character dynamics are unlike any other in the sports genre. The almost fatherly roles Miyuki and Chris play for Eijun, Eijun and Furuya’s rivalry, Mei and Miyuki’s friction that echoes their past friendship, the distinct identity of each team we meet. They’re incredible
The standout of this series is the catchers, Miyuki Kazuya and Chris Yuu. A unique archetype that is seldom found in the sports genre. The relationship of a pitcher and catcher, known as a battery, is perhaps the most tight knit and intimate relationship in sports.
