The better question is: which /a/ character could win the Olivebowl?

>>144631718
Rance

>spinning punch
>OraOraOra
Now imagine Popeye saying "It truly was a roundabout path. Arigato Wimpy"

>>144630872
Is this You Hear it You Lose?

>>144630872
I can't think of any. Closest I can get is Bobobo

>>144631164
anime has shading , thats why more than 8fps is fucking espensive, and requires more rigid animation so you can keep shading quality up

also 5-layer-shading faggotry is the bane of fluid motion

>>144630872
Just tell Popeye that his meme vegetable doesn't have the nutritional values people think it has and that his power was a placebo all along. Then even a little girl could beat him.

>literally beat the shit out out of storm and wave to calm the sea
can any anime character even compete?

Bluto on spinach could destroy Popeye up to be honest.

>>144630872
Better animation than Kyoanus garbage

>>144634235
That's like saying Obelix with the potion is stronger than Asterix.

>>144634279
Also 20 times the budget

So Papai is reality warper?

>>144630872
pulling the saitama card would be too cheap, i guess?

>>144632299
If Popeye was a stand user, what stand would he have?

>>144631749
Hahaha. No. Popeye once beat up the animator that had erased him. He also once punched Bluto so hard, he popped out of the movie and into the real world. Demonbane ain't got any feats that can top literal 4th wall breakage.

>>144630872
>That part where he punches the rock back at Bluto

Sick

here are some of his greatest feats

I always assumed "Spinach" was just a pg code name for PCP since it would explain everything it let him do.

>>144634961
they were probably trying to get kids to eat their vegetables.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popeye#Spinach
> The popularity of Popeye helped boost spinach sales. Using Popeye as a role model for healthier eating may work; a 2010 study revealed that children increased their vegetable consumption after watching Popeye cartoons.

>>144635152
When I watched it as a kid all I could think was who the fuck they think they kidding with this spinach shit. Mind you I was a very sassy 8 year old.

>>144634358
To be honest, that would probably be the only really fair fight.

>>144634357
>So Papai is reality warper?
And a fourth wall breaker

>>144634358
>pulling the saitama card would be too cheap, i guess?
Honestly, he's the only anime character I can think of that would beat Popeye, seeing as he can "punch himself into existence".

Popeye is a joke character, as such, only another joke character can beat him

Popeye can break the laws of reality. He can even escape his cartoons to beat up audience members and his own cartoonists.

The only person I know of that can do that is The Great Will of the Macrocosmos.

Nabeshin might give him a go for his money because he's literally the director.

>>144634221
Yuujiro Hanma. He stops an earthquake with a punch.

>>144634205
It was a trigger to release all his limiters and activate his full power, all the great feats he performed, it was all inside him to begin with, but most likely he has lived with the habit of using spinach to trigger his strength. If he figured out how to access his full power without needing spinach, he would he unstoppable.

>>144630872
SAKUGA

>>144635677
Popeye would make Hanma shit himself. As soon as Popeye stepped into view Hanma would start beating himself up just to avoid Popeye's wrath

>>144630872
>That fluid animation
How can japanese cartoons even compete?

Goku

American interwar animation was based as fuck. I grew up watching anthology VHS of that stuff over and over again (as well as regular French animation) and I still can't find things that make me smile nearly as much.
I swear my kids will grow up watching Fleischer animation and Silly Symphonies.

>>144631914
>>144633829
Oh please. Rance doesn't succeed because he's strong, or bold, or anything of the sort. He's simply the luckiest man to have ever walked the face of the Earth. This is canon. No matter what action he takes or what dangers he faces it will always result in a favorable outcome.

>>144635217
>That sense of depth in the last part
This is some good shit

>>144630872
That's some really nice animation

>>144635599
I think a better question would be what would happen if Saitama ate spinach?

>>144636241

No one man should hold such power.

By having layers of shade.

Disney discovered the secret to good and fluid animation that doesn't take ages to make : plain colors with no shading, and pretty much set that as the staple for the western animation industry.
But some atmospheres can't be conveyed without shade, especially for dramas, tragedies, thrillers or the such. That's why there's so little "serious" cartoons, with most of them dabbling in comedy.

It's really interesting how art can grow in different ways depending on what the artists of a country value. (fluid animation vs good looking static scenes)

>>144635207
Hahaha it fucking one hundo worked on me. I tried to lift our dinner table up after eating spinach.

>>144635599

Wh-what happened with the people traveling on the train?

>>144634423
Um I know you're joking and all but Demonbane was able to came out of a dream and punch the dreamer in his face.

>>144636421
It was an automated train, nobody was there

What was that big guy's problem?

>>144636627

>Disney discovered the secret to good and fluid animation that doesn't take ages to make : plain colors with no shading, and pretty much set that as the staple for the western animation industry.

But that's historically the look of American and European comics. There's an aesthetic continuity between the two media.

>>144636627
Thirsty as fuck yo

>>144636861
Yeah, the plain colors from comics probably also influenced their philosophy of making cartoons.

However japanese started with the same plain, shade-less designs in their comics (Astroboy, Kimba) but quickly took a different turn towards more shading, probably because manga was black and white, while a large part of american comics were colored.

At 0:55, Popeye really just beat Bluto with his own balls?

>>144636425
Azathoth was a stalemate at most.

>>144637588
>he doesn't know about Vortex Blaster

>>144637697
Dyn Freaks is "a story that cannot exist, unrelated to all other stories"
And Vortex Blaster was a prequel to that.

>>144631164
TV happened. Before TV, cartoons were made for the theater, and had more forgiving production schedules. Once television came along and cartoons began to be produced for broadcasting, animation quality took a major nosedive since they had to be produced faster and fill more time. Compare Popeye cartoons from the 30s and 40s (made for movie theaters) against Popeye from the 60s (made for TV) and the difference is crystal clear.

Modern anime was pioneered with TV in mind, and many of the techniques that anime adapted were carried over to anime films, which is why many old anime movies don't have much higher quality than the old TV shows.

And if Azathoth can be ressurected then Demonbane is simply unable to permanently erase his existence.
Ergo not being omnipotent.

>>144638144
It wasn't resurrected retard, it was replaced by a new Azathoth. Azathoth didn't even fix itself either, Yog-Sothoth did.

>can't even stop yog-sothoth
Not omnipotent.

Not that the author even seems to care with all the silly crossovers.

>>144638550
You're right, it's above omnipotent since it canonically beat a TOAA level character.

>>144638729
If it's beaten it was not omnipotent to begin with.

>>144630872
A sniper round would kill him.

>>144638851
Therefore TOAA is not omni since characters of his level are casually destroyed by Demonbane. Thanks for clarifying.

>>144638550
>>can't even stop yog-sothoth
Demonbane doesn't even realize Mugen is there. But she cannot stop "D" either. It's a covert operation in the last split-second of infinity betting everything on the new Azathoth.

>>144638983
Post-retcon TOAA yes.
But Azathoth has likely also be retconned since the creator doesn't care as much as people on animu forums.

Not like omnipotence is proveable anyway, especially since narration is often unreliable. (unreliable narrator)

>tfw finite awareness
Demonbane Vortex Blaster has finite awareness.
Elder God Demonbane does not. Elder God Demonbane is superior to Demonbane Vortex Blaster in every way (that's what "Elder Gods" are in Demonbane). "D" is subordinate to EGD.

Saitama would beat him in one hit

Mary Sue beats all of them.
Easy.

Is there really a can of spinach? I've never seen any in my life.

Saitama vs Popeye:

>Popeye opens up with a black-eye maker
>Saitama dodges
>Popeye throws an uppercut
>Saitama pulls right, lets out a gentle left hook
>Popeye flies 50 feet into a wall, birds flying around his head
>Saitama stares in awe at the birdies
>Popeye gets up, rolls up his sleeves
>Saitama points at the birdies and asks where they came from
>Popeye sucker punches Saitama jaw
>Saitama gets that evil, happy look in his eye, gleeful that someone could hit him
>Saitama joyfully throws a serious punch at Popeye
>Popeye flies through 8 walls into a bridge
>Saitama is disappointed
>Angel Popeye rises from the body, is shocked, pulls himself back into Popeye
>Popeye sits up, eats some spinach
>Saitama is walking away, dejected, gets walloped in the back
>Saitama turns around in disbelief, fire burning in his eyes
>Popeye throws a few more punches, they miss
>Saitama monolouges about never having a serious opponent
>Popeye continues to miss
>Saitama throws a deadly series of punches, kicks, and martial arts
>Popeye takes the hits, nut dodges a few
>Popeye does a hilariously cartoonish wind-up uppercut that lands right on Saitama's jaw
>Saitama flies all the way to Saturn in an instant
>Saitama launches off Saturn's rings, fist out, lands back on Earth, hitting Popeye on the top of the head
>Popeye goes flying through Earth, the force of the impact splitting Earth in two
>Popeye takes out a giant lasso and grabs the halves, tying Earth back together
>Saitama stares in total disbelief in what he's just seen
>Popeye opens up a SECOND CAN OF SPINACH
>Popeye twists his fist a thousand times and throws a drill punch at Saitama
>Saitama explodes backwards explosively, spinning so explosively fast he's an explosive blur
>Saitama gets up, walks ominously towards Popeye
>Saitama throws one, single, absolutely serious punch
>Popeye grabs the punch, throws out his own
>Saitama dodges this punch

>Bugs Bunny puts down the pencil, decides to animate the rest of the fight later

Well the 50s Japanese comic market was literal chaos of people trying to figure out the art & the business as they went along. Huge time for experimentation but most of those comics have sadly been lost. Best thing we have are interviews with the oldest mangakas reminiscing about the era

>>144637908
I hope to god your referring to the 70s and not the 80s, otherwise you really need to stop talking on the subject. TV anime vs movie/ova anime in the 80s was like night and day. Hell aside from Redline there isn't much since then that can compete in sheer quality
Japan's economy has never recovered from the early 90s
