With the exception of gettin weekly releases from IRC's its gonna be hard to read OP etc weekly.....does this mean we will be doomed to the anime threads? Their predictions are the WORST! If the only releases we can look forward to are weekly anime releases then that will probably lead to more fighting over manga readers spoiling things accidentally etc. Also do the small nuances that some people pick up from reading the manga happen in the animes? The anime is pretty much geared to advancing the story. Whereas the manga is free to interpretation because everything is already laid out. How many times have you re-watched an anime episode and was like "oh he was shown earlier in the series...etc". In one piece I always wondered how luffy got that scar under his eye. Then I read the manga and found out that he stabs himself in the face. Long story short it would suck to be doomed to exclusively watch the anime. I just don't wanna miss anything
