classic manga vs anime
Lay your arguments. I'm done for the day.

Terrible anime image that doesn't show the arc fully, or good manga image that displays it fine. Manga image. 23:20, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

The manga image also doesn't display the arc fully. In fact, it shows even less with its huge exclusion of characters. As for "Ace is the main focus", please tell me, what happens on-screen more? Fighting through the prison, or Ace suffering in his cell? Focus =/= Goal. 23:29, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Yes Focus = Goal. The main point of the arc was to SAVE ACE. ACE was in prison. The ARC wouldn't happen if ACE WASN'T THERE. The anime image has TERRIBLE art. The Manga version doesn't! I know you love the anime so much nada, but the MANGA IS CLEARLY BETTER HERE. 23:31, January 16, 2013 (UTC)

Calm down, child. It's only an image. Now first of all, the definition of "focus" can vary depending on who the person defining it is. Does it mean what the viewer sees, or what the character sees? Most of the arc is made up of Luffy and co. fighting through Impel Down, so the anime image favors the viewer's focus. The manga image displays Ace, which favors the character's focus. It depends on what to consider more, as both are very important. The Arc wouldn't happen if Ace wasn't there, but it also wouldn't be an Arc if Luffy wasn't fighting through. That's what the majority of the arc is made up from, after all. The anime having terrible arc is a very vague argument, mostly because it's an opinion and it's based on Oda's drawing of the same event. The manga isn't automatically a better choice just because you don't like the anime version. 23:38, January 16, 2013 (UTC)
