I just realized, we're getting pretty close to chapter 1100. Think Oda's got anything crazy planned for the next milestone?

Everything labeled as "One Piece Film" (Strong World forward) and maybe Baron Omatsuri if you're interested in seeing an early Mamoru Hosoda work.

Everything else can be ignored.

I endorse this as well.

Baron Omatsuri got me to try the series in the first place. But the Film films feel like very welcome, natural side stories.

Also, maybe it’s just me, but especially in Film Red, the Film films have some combination of polished animation, sound design, very brisk pacing and One Piece imaginative world building that makes them feel REALLY trippy to me.

I just saw the 90s OVA. It's entirely on YouTube.

It's really fast paced. Everyone is kind of out of character. It makes it feel like a pilot for the series. Zoro is laughing and personable. Luffy is defined by his stomach and beating people up way more than normal. He doesn't even get his mind off food as people are threatened in front of him. And Nami is full on betraying them and sneaking around and double crossing.

The villian feels like Arlong, Don Krieg, and Buggy in a blender. Which actually works really well and I niss people who just have thousands of inbuilt weapons.

The animation looks amazing. The voices are different and that throws me off. It's all 90s OVA style.

Would recommend.

Honestly most of them aren't bad. A couple suck a lot, but mostly they're just kinda bland which i'd argue is worse.

OPLA speculation, to give Drum Island and Alabasta proper some breathing room it seems like moving Ace and Smoker's confrontation to Drum Island would make more sense. Ace already had shown up just before Luffy and was still loving off on his mission to get captured by Blackbeard. So instead having Ace show up on the island at the same time seems fine. Plus, being ordered to back up Wapol would give Smoker more time to make clear that he hates the system and thinks his bosses are shitheads. It also adds a little more tension to waiting for Nami to heal up if Smoker shows up than Wapol being a dick. Otherwise the entire tension of Drum Island is just finding a doctor for Nami and convincing Chopper to join.

Doing that also removes the weird Poochie side quest feel of Ace's appearance at Alabasta. Smoker showing up at the Casino and getting trapped with the Strawhats also kind of flows better if he had just caught up with them again while being forced to check in with Crocodile when landing at Alabasta.

Give the season a little classic A-Team vibe where Smoker is always catching up just after the plan has come together.

I'm curious if they get more episodes per season now that's definitely renewed. Thy can probably get away with 8 for each Paradise arc but if they somehow make it to post-timeskip there's no way they're fitting any of those arcs into one season.

It's probably variable number of episodes per season, with the main constraints being budget and plot. So depending on how much they can redress the sets they already have, they can probably get more episodes per following season barring expensive Devil Fruit budgeting.

Season 2, Whiskey Peak and Alabasta are both similar looking locations since it's largely just towns/cities in a sandy location. The problem is that Drum Island is a Winter Island and Little Garden is a Tropical Island. On the plus side, almost all the Devil Fruits are on the cheaper end to recreate. I think Mr 3's might actually be the most expensive just because Fire, Sand, and Smoke are way more commonly CGI'd than Wax and thus should be cheaper to do.

I wonder if Alabasta’s gonna have something that actually makes sense as an explanation for why Ace doesn’t just light Smoker the gently caress up with armament haki since, you know, it didn’t exist back in the early 2000’s but it does in 2024.

Ace canonically over relies on his fruit (like Eneru/Crocodile).

They're gonna have to go further and explain why Ace doesn't just stick with the crew an extra day to torch Crocodile into a glass statue

Yeah, it was released by Production IG in 1998, over a year before the Toei anime began, and only a year into the manga's run. poo poo's so early, it doesn't even have Usopp.

I hope OPLA just doesn’t do haki, at least Armament. Reading other’s will, and knocking them out by looking at them, are good and cool and translate well to live just like DFs. Armament requires a PhD though and is very much in the magical punchwizards territory. I hope they just don’t bring it up, I just don’t think it will work well live, and there are much more exciting things to spend your precious budget on.

How will they beat logias then?? Well apparently people can hurt Luffy with normal punches in OPLA so just a slight nerf to DFs in general solves the problem. Maybe logias can turn some but not all of their body into their element, and/or must actively do it instead of having it passively happen. Or just never explain it and have people just be able to hit them sometimes.

The only people who hurt Luffy with normal punches (and in fact the only time Luffy actually reacts with pain in general) is Garp, or when he's been splashed with sea water from memory of the Live Action.

Also, Logias don't passively turn into their element in the manga anyway, that's noted as a result of Smoker and Crocodile training their reaction time to do it, or Logias using observation Haki (Eneru).

They might as well roll armament Haki in with advanced armament Haki, since advanced armament Haki ended up narratively redundant to advanced conqueror’s Haki.

I liked it when Garp was just a tough old dude who could throw cannonballs that hard.

Anyway, Strong World was fun. Felt a bit like a greatest hits of Arlong Park because Nami abandons the crew to be a navigator for the bad guy. Robin's main contribution was being Fay Wray in a King Kong pastiche but honestly neither she, Franky or Brook had much to do.

I mean, there was a whole chapter dedicated to Garp beating the poo poo out of retired battleships and telling his protege “don’t use armament haki, shits for pussies” so I think he probably didn’t even have to use armament haki on the cannonballs. In fact poo poo, it’s kind of hilarious how hard Garp’s been sandbagging this entire time knowing “Garp actually tries” is basically a WMD.
