The Asian Thread

<p>Oh that’s pretty good. If you ever decide to take the AP Japanese test that should be more than enough. </p>

<p>One Piece is super huge in Japan, or at least it was when I was there in the summer. I haven’t actually read or watched it though. idk, what’s the basic premise?</p>

<p>One Piece is basically about a guy named Luffy who as a kid ate the Gomu Gomu no Mi (Fruit) and turned into a rubberman. He wants to become the Pirate King, the pirate who travels to the last island of the Grand Line, which I think is the equator in real life. As he sails to different islands he gets new crew members. </p>

<p>One Piece is an amazing manga but sometimes the anime misrepresents it.</p>

<p>Haha, that sounds kind of funny, but I might try the manga. Anime always takes me much longer than manga anyways because I only watch one episode in a week.</p>

<p>I like reading manga a lot more than watching anime haha, I like just being able to open a book (or scroll through on my phone) and just have it in my hands.
One Piece is awesome, enough said. I haven’t been caught up with it yet.
See, the first thing I ever picked up was Bleach and so that’s like top priority for me haha (cept the latest arc… I’ve gotta complain…)</p>

<p>Ahh, I’m sorry, guys. I tried watching the first ep. I couldn’t really get past the art.</p>

<p>^^Bleach. Yeah, the latest arc… I was like, why? just what, why? I liked the voice acting for Bleach though.</p>

<p>Tite Kubo’s running out of steam, man. I’m happy Bleach is still alive I guess but I also wish he just ended it when it was still alright</p>

<p>uewhfasdjkfskdljewoif this chinese homework lkaaldfk</p>

<p>Today I was getting ready for school tomorrow… and it just felt gross.</p>

<p>Oh APUSH, why must you be so cruel.</p>

<p>The latest arc is the last arc.</p>

<p>I wonder how long this arc is going to be… Kubo promised to tie up so many loose ends.</p>

<p>@senior Wait, so like apple?</p>

<p>That got me wondering, for those of you that are Chinese, do you have two or three characters in your name? I wish I had three, but alas, I only have two. :(</p>

<p>@EveningSwan I have 3, but the middle one’s a number, so it’s not terribly exciting haha. It’s supposed to sound the same as another word, but my parents simplified it b/c they didn’t want me to spend 10 minutes writing my name every time I needed to :P</p>

<p>So I’m guessing no Desi’s allowed?</p>

<p>SternBronco, I’m Desi and I’m getting a little lost in this thread. However I started an Indian thread (should be on page 2) that you are welcome to join.</p>

<p>@EveningSwan lol that’s what I was thinking</p>

<p>Anyone do Martial Arts?</p>

<p>My Japanese name is one that is the same pronunciation/character as Chinese, and I only have got one character. </p>

<p>I used to do martial arts, in elementary school</p>

<p>3 characters in my Chinese name; I started taekwondo 2 years ago in grade 8… I’m the oldest there in my level OTL </p>

<p>I’m still in winter break mode even if I have a Chinese test on Saturday ; ;</p>

<p><em>awkward sidebust into convo</em> One Piece is the greatest. And i’m starting taekwondo again soon after many years haha i’m pretty sure i have a Japanese test tomorrow but I’m sick so I’m hoping to skip out! (^ω^)</p>

<p>Going for my 2nd degree around Feb.</p>

<p>If anyone’s up to date with One Piece, who’s read 731?</p>

<p>its 731 now? askdjf</p>
