Meanwhile, I was thinking more along the lines of FMA’s law of equivalent exchange, but since the way equivalent exchange is handled is kinda hand-wavy, I tried to find a way to make it more realistic, while trying to limit the power’s OP potential (hence, the random body part stipulation as initially stated).
TBH, I don’t watch One Piece, but had I done so, I would have given you a nod by saying you need to be concentrating to use the power (and would backfire by randomizing the target of the power if you lost concentration).
And yeah, the only thing stopping me from watching One Piece is the sheer amount of episodes, lol! I want to start watching it, but I’m like, there’s no way I’d be able to watch thousands of episodes just to catch up!
Oh man I need to watch the original anime! Know a good place I can watch it actually? I literally LOVE fmab haha. And would love to check that one out.
Also… I’d say to you, and look, I’m sort of picky about these things, as we all are…watch the first half, then switch to Manga. Or just read the Manga from beginning.
I got into one piece without knowing ANYTHING about it so I’m super lucky and grateful.
It’s got its flaws, but it’s sort of apart of the style. It feels very stream of conscious and home brewed. I absolutely love it to death.
It helps that I started it during a pretty rough patch so it’s like a comforting thing for me.
I think ultimately, it’s worth it, and the length shouldn’t be a barrier. It’s just more content and I love the story. It’s endearing. OK enough proselytizing. Lol
The 2003 FMA anime was created back when the manga is still being published, and started to drift away from the manga such that at the anime’s midway point, it’s following a different storyline. Some plot points and characters are changed as the anime overtook the manga. Ultimately, it’s a different story as opposed to the manga and Brotherhood.
However, I like how the pacing is a lot slower, allowing me to get more invested and interested into the characters. It’s not as fast-paced as Brotherhood, and it’s a lot darker. There’s just something really somber about the entire thing that I can’t put my finger on.
I watched it on cable TV back then, but I think there are some sites still carrying it if you know where to look.
As for One Piece, thanks for the advice! I’ll go do just that once I have the time (to watch the first half–or I can just go full manga). I don’t think you’re proselytizing than you’re just excited to talk about something you’re really into, which is nice.
Lol!!

Yep!
FMA is my absolute favorite Shonen btw. It’s a masterpiece, imo.
One piece just holds a special place in my heart yknow, so it’s my favorite by default. Lol
FMA 2003 for me, but I like Brotherhood as well.
