Gensoukoumuten is making me care about a train. Not some sort of semi-anthro, Thomas the Tank Engine-style train; just a big machine with wheels and boiling water that pulls things.

How in God's name does he do this?

I dunno, but steam trains are awesome. They deserve this sort of respect.

Kanako's on the SL in that flashback.

Incoming conspiracy?

He took lessons from Oda.

The same way he took an old post man and made him one of the coolest characters to have graced this site.

Indeed! My first thoughts exactly.

I dunno, the whole feeling is like he took lessons from Ashinano (http://www.anymanga.com/yokohama-kaidashi-kikou/005/007/)

I think you hit it on the head.

Which Oda are we talking about? Eiichiro?
Ashinano seems to be the more logical choice if you want to learn about how to do stories melancholic-ly.

Yeah, that Oda. Probably the part where the straw hats have to burn their original ship.

Not exactly; Going Merry was already dead when they reached Water 7, her keel was beyond repair and she wouldn't sail again. Her Klabautermann repaired her slightly in Skypeia, but in the end her soul begged Iceberg to help her go to her friends since she felt they were in danger. After she rescued her friends, they held a Viking funeral for her and she bid her farewell, as well as regret that she couldn't adventure with them anymore.

God damn it, I'm crying.

BAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWW!!!
