One Piece chapter 1194 review
Even I don’t know how much I can realistically yap about this one. It’s rare for Oda to go this light on content for a chapter, preferring scene changes and clustering in events back to back to back so it feels like the situation is shifting rapidly. Some say that style can be hard to…

The Canon Colours of One Piece: Arlong Park
Another break week Monday, so I’m playing around with YouTube again. This project will be leaving the East Blue soon, each section takes so much longer to go through than I think it will, but I’m getting more comfortable (and quicker) with the recording and editing process.

One Piece chapter 1193 review
Oda threw me a little bit by holding the shot on the Imu fight for longer than I expected, letting the heroes have just a bit more time with the upper hand, but we’re finally shifting into the disadvantage state into crew fights cutaway phase of the traditional structure. Loki switching to hybrid mode is…

One Piece chapter 1192 review
Fifteen pages and it’s mostly action. These kinds of chapters are sometimes necessary to make a bigger fight feel fleshed out (or make sure the right scene arrives on the right milestone), but they can definitely make for thin-feeling weekly discussions. Unfortunately, we open on a loss that should be a win. I actually really…

The Canon Colours of One Piece ep 4: Baratie
Another break week, another video. Does all the talk about Mihawk’s eyes matching Imu’s hold up to canonical depictions? And what colour is Don Krieg’s hair really?

One Piece chapter 1191 review
Another Jump cover that doesn’t show Imu? Fine, we’re celebrating Luffy’s WT100 win. Makes sense, but such a foregone conclusion I could have lived without a whole cover dedicated to it. I hope we don’t have to wait for the vol 116 drop (in presumably the ballpark of November) to see Imu’s colours. And speaking…

The Canon Colours of One Piece ep. 3: Syrup Village
Another break week video on colours! Losing my mind over boots, bags, slingshots and of course the Merry’s figurehead.

One Piece chapter 1190 review
It’s starting to feel very end-of-volume over here, isn’t it? Especially considering that if we end here, the big chapter 1200 and whatever Oda has planned for it could potentially be the finale of volume 117. There’s not much particularly surprising in this chapter as far as story development goes, but Oda manages to make…

The Canon Colours of One Piece ep 2: Orange Town
I did another one of these for another break week! I’d like to make these a tradition for weeks where I can’t do a chapter review, so it would be real nice for the manga to get back on a more normal release schedule so take a little time pressure off. Video editing and audio…

One Piece chapter 1189 review
It’s really getting grim now, and with the end of volume 116 potentially just a chapter or two away, this one marks an inflection point for the series’ tone. Things are set to get even worse with a wounded mentor figure leaping into the fight; and while it wouldn’t totally be in Oda’s typical style…
