He died at age 68, March 1st.

Personally Dragon ball was my favorite anime series and still is one of my favorites R.I.P to him

RIP. Oda should have died instead of him.

What makes you say that I didn’t watch/read much of one piece

 

[I used to wake up]

Rest in peace.

It's shit but mid piece fanboys don't like to hear it.

Dragon ball was the first anime I ever watched. RIP

I’ve heard most of the arcs have the same format.
>Crew goes to new island
>Island is run by evil dictator
>Luffy potential loses to the villain once but powers up
>Crew defeats antagonist

First Kentaro Miura, now Akira Toriyama.
Truly the 2020s have been a sad, dark decade.

I made it to Marineford but I got spoiled for the next two arcs and it seems to have gotten worse

You would be right on this one. Mid piece only saving grace is it's world building but I'd say even that is mid. It's not as interesting as other battle shonen like HxH. There are a fuck ton of characters and most of them suck. So overall it's just some middle of the road series.

Naruto was only in the beginning and the first half of Shippuden. Because of how fucked it became later on I wouldn't even include it. Not sure on Full Metal Alchemist since I watched it ages ago. The rest I agree. I would also add Frieren on the list. It's really underrated. Chainsaw man is also pretty good but mid piece I'd say still beats it.

I was thinking adding Dragon ball but Super ruined it, adding 12 universes, universal level characters and not going to depth with it

Didn't watch Super so I can't tell.

It’s nothing spectacular or good until Tournament of Power and the broly movie
