Seems people are looking at Nōtōryū with the most interest


I'm sure you all might find the admirals a bit of a surprise when you encounter them. Especially a particular assumption most are making incorrectly >w>


Any speculation on their abilities or powers?


I'll give a little hint. While they all know all 3 hakis, each is most proficient in one. Can you guess which is which?


A reminder the three kinds are Armament Haki, Observation Haki, and Conquerors Haki.


Here's a link to its wiki page for those who need it. Haki

You could just link them to the Special Abilities page... we have one and I believe it is derived directly from the wiki page.

Then I would say Aosuzume get observation and is a marksmen/tactician, Kurokuma gets armament fights without weapons, then Notoryu gets conqueror haki, because dragons are emperors, and I think he will eb a swordsman like Fujitora.

Don't worry @AllHailDago I'm sure some OCs will react this way once the Rear Admiral's existence is known to them when it's too late.

Liking my character sheet thread does not mean that it's accepted yet, correct? I know the instructions said we should be patient with the acceptance process, but I just want to make sure I'm not sitting around here thinking I'm not accepted yet if I am.

Your cs has been labeled "Pirate" which means you have been accepted. I was going to let you know earlier and then my work schedule got all messed up and now I am at work until midnight. Anyway, yes, Wasabi is accepted.

I should have checked again before asking, sorry. Thank you!

No need to apologize.

Would anyone care to fill me in on the events thus far? I would greatly appreciate it. Sadly I do not have the ability to read through six pages of content.

I will work on a summary of important events now, actually. That seems like a good thing to have.

 

[Lady Warlock]

There is now a summary thread that includes descriptions of things important to the story that have happened so far. The page is called The Story Log. I and my fellow Pirate Captains will do our best to keep it up to date as more important events unfold.

Got bored and watched Sword Art Online.


Wound up really disparaged by how they took a rather decent idea and set up and buggered it by making it a bloody harem anime. Had they legitimately focused only of the main character's romance and the like, and had the sidecharacters form their own romances and relationships, as well as eased up on the time skips, it really would have been something. Hell you can even see the good parts where the harem wasn't part of their focus in that area a all and they were great parts. A prime example being the Sleeping Knights arc.


I want a group to go in and edit or do their own fanon work that cuts out the harem, gets a touch more serious but over all remains the same. I feel that would truly do the anime wonders.

SAO strikes me as an anime with so much potential. The visuals are beautiful, the world is well drawn out and the soundtrack is great. Sadly, this doesn't substitute for poor story-telling. I think this a case of time being wasted on terrible romance triangles when said time would be better spent on character development and plot progression. Something to help give the story an ounce of depth outside of every female having the hots for Kirito and Kirito being the best person to exist because screw everything and everyone else.


But none of that bothers me since Log Horizon and Grimgar of Fantasy and Ash do better jobs as a whole, though both have their flaws too.

 

[CelticHero37]

Don't even get me started on SAO. I binge watched that shit in a day after a bad break up. I will always say it's a great anime.

 

[BlueUnicorn]

Can't say it's one of my favorites, but SAO has such a good base-plot. I wish they had focused on other things than romance. I mean, romance can be a nice side-plot - but to me at least, it gets dull after a while. I prefer series and movies in general with a deeper plot - like Deadman Wonderland or the like. Then again, I am easily entertained by.. Everything, so finding animes or series I like ain't really a problem :x


Totally understand why people like SAO, though.

 

[Red Thunder]

So @BlacklegSanji, is there actually anyone onboard the Sea Dragon yet? I'll admit, with all the people involved in the RP, it gets a little difficult to keep track of all that's going on.

Have any of the three of you watched SAO abridged though? Freaking gold. Look it up on YouTube, I believe there's like nine episodes atm. AND they're all just so great

Stacy, Norman and Syrin are on board.

I uh.... might not suggest doing what I think you're thinking of doing. As much as it'd probably be amusing. And is probably something Norman might do...... actually. Go ahead, do it!

However, there are people out there who need decent romance anime as well. So much romance anime out there is either straight up inappropriate, or a comedy. There's not much out there for people who really need to have some serious relationship stuff. SAO was exactly what I needed after that bad breakup I had. Not everybody needs this sort of comfort and hope, but there are people that do, so that doesn't make it worse because they chose to have romance be a major point. It just makes it less relatable to you.
