Talk:One Piece Complete Collection

Naming
So... I've searched high and low, and it seems like Japan universally uses the word "omnibus" (総集編) for these; the "Log X" stuff is just a fancy way of numbering.

Would anyone mind if I renamed this article something like "Omnibus Collections" (with a note in the article text itself on the "Log" numbering scheme)? It would, if nothing else, avoid confusion with articles on Logbooks, Log Poses, and God-knows-how-many DVD releases they've titled "Log X" by now.

(If appropriate, I could also do a subsection on Viz's rough equivalent of these - the three-in-one volumes.) RubberLotus (talk) 04:46, 22 February 2021 (UTC)
 * While it's true that those volumes are called 総集編 (Sōshūhen). This term certainly doesn't translate to Omnibus in English besides in Google Translate... Xinyingho (talk) 07:56, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

I have actually been looking into this as well, and I was planning to rename this to "One Piece Complete Collection". 09:57, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

While this format is indeed called "complete collection" (soushuuhen), since the books themselves are called "logs" (as one can see on every cover), even if we're renaming the page or changing the words used in the article, I think that "log" deserves at least one mention or two. Personal opinion here, but I think they call the books "logs" because we're dealing with navigations ("Log: the record of the rate of a ship's speed or of her daily progress", according to the Merriam-Webster dictionary).

Yes, the individual books would still be "logs". 11:11, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Alright then - I've got no real issues with "Complete Collection" (though I will note that "omnibus" is also commonly used by American comics covering a Complete Work in multi-volume parts). Go ahead with it whenever.

What I really want to do, though, is overhaul this page so it's more in line with the one we have on tankōbon volumes - these might be Japan-exclusive, but they are also a genuinely equivalent way of experiencing the whole manga. Write out all the chapters, add summaries (not necessarily like the tankōbon summaries, but just "covers X arc up to Y event")... maybe even, ultimately, make it a subpage of Chapters and Volumes.

That sounds fine for the most part. I think I would disagree on the subpage idea, though. 17:47, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Quality of paper
The quality of paper (or printing) does not seem nearly as bad as Weekly Shonen Jump. Here is a video that has a direct comparison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e139WgXwWJk (3:50). 09:16, 24 February 2021 (UTC)
