Ahaha, I just learned that Keijo!!!!!! is getting an anime. This is one that does not surprise me at all but I'm still kind of giddy thinking about how this is going to translate to the screen. It's soo over the top and ridiculous but still with very good characters.
It's about a girl who enters a school for Keijo, which is a popular gambling sport where girls try to push each other into the water with techniques using only boobs and bums. As you can probably guess, different girls have different advantages and there are classes like infighter, outfighter, and counter-fighter. Amazingly, there really isn't all that much overt fan-service in the manga but I bet it gets turned up a notch for the anime.
| Super_Boom said: A lot of the events of the story are circumstantial, but it all builds up to something, which is why it's so appealing to me. Crocodile's defeat led to his incarceration in Impel Down, which led to his alliance with Luffy afterwards. Enel, Lucci, and Moriah have all been set up to return in the future, and I wouldn't be suprised if they played a similar role. If you look at it in-universe, sure it seems random. But from the perspective of one reading the story, it's absolutely incredible how detail oriented Oda is. I literally can't dismiss anything, since it could easily return as some huge plot point later on. *Added spoilers for Uran High School Host Club* |
This is really one of the things that makes One Piece so great. With a lot of manga, you can feel the writer going, "hmm, I've finished that arc, I wonder what I should do next?" It's like they're building a railroad track that is usually one link ahead of the train. With One Piece, he's already got all the stations built up ahead. It's a connected world rather than a linear story. Oda is an amazing writer who deserves all the praise he gets.
