My picks are:

  • Game: Portal 2.
  • Book: The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy.
  • TV show: Bojack Horseman.

    I’m currently going through the One Piece manga for the first time and I’m having a blast.

    I’m in the middle of Punk Hazard right now and it’s starting to drag on, but I’m told that everything gets way better afterwards.

      That’s awesome! yes, the story structure changes a lot after the war, the conflicts grow larger and take longer. Oda also changed a the characters personalities a lot, in some he dialed them a lot. But it does get better, mostly because Cesar and Jody, where not the best. But still it does get a lot better later on! What was one of your fav moments? me from back then was water seven, it felt that the stakes really ramped up

        My favorite single moment so far was the conclusion of the battle between Luffy and Boa Sandersonia.

        It really highlights that Luffy is not willing to act against his principles, even if it would further his goals.

        Best arc though is a tossup between Arlong Park or Impel Down. Arlong Park has had the best character writing in the series so far, and Impel Down has the highest stakes.

          Luffy and Boa Sandersonia.

          Absolutely, one of the smallest but most defining moments to show how Luffy thinks about conflicts. For me, I think Zoro’s sacrifice for the crew was a highlight for me, I still remember having to wait to find out if he survived or not buy taking Luffy’s pain. Usopp’s apology, Chopper’s backstory, Rob Lucci fight… man so many great moments. But I do agree with you, Oda build Impel Down and the war it was such an epic moment of the series.
