So, are you guys watching the live action?

As someone who's watched all the anime and read all the manga from the beginning, I've been watching the live action and so far really enjoying it.

No, the plot is not entirely accurate, the characters aren't 100% the same, but honestly I wouldn't want them to be. The One Piece manga and anime just wouldn't translate 100% to live action and be a good show. I think the adaptation and the changes they make work very well for a live action show (without spoiling anything).

The things they needed to get right, they did, IMO. For example, Luffy's pure optimism, the relationship within the straw hat crew, the emotional scenes (I cried a few times)...

A lot of people expect and want to see a 100% faithful adaptation, but that doesn't make sense to me. If I wanted to watch/read One Piece, I would just watch the anime or read the manga. As a OP fan, the live action serves a specific purpose for me which is just to relive some of the moments I watched as a kid with real people and to see different take on the story. I think the show achieved that.

Some suggestions

Awesome suggestions!

Adding a "Random Community" button that just takes you to a random Community in any instance would be nice too. I used this a lot on Sync to discover smaller subreddits.

Also, the option to choose when/how posts are marked as "read". For example, it can be after you open the post, or interact with it in any way (upvote, preview...), or just scroll past it.

Not saying you're wrong and I'm not a lawyer either so I don't know, but that sounds pretty stupid for multiple reasons.

  1. How would any website moderator even be able to moderate their site and report it to the authority if just by reporting it they're confessing to doing something illegal. There would be nothing stopping people from posting it everywhere if there's no legal mechanism for reporting it.
  2. "Possession" a.k.a ownership is a huge part of the law. You can't just say that just because I'm aware of something existing, I'm in possession of it. By that logic I can go to any jewelry store, look at a diamond and it becomes mine.

What habits or practies have you adopted from cultures besides your own?

Yes there are several things I like:

  • Long handles prevent the part you actually hold from getting hot and they don't fall into the bowl as often when you're eating soup from a bigger bowl.
  • The length also allows you to reach things further away when eating family style meals.
  • The bowl shape is optimized for eating soup & rice. At the same time, bowl is not too deep that it is uncomfortable to eat non-soupy things.
  • Being metal lets you use the spoon to cut and scrape things, ceramic spoons are harder to use for that purpose because they're typically thicker and more rounded.
