The best part of the latest episode was Neptune's face as he watched the giant pufferfish get goaded into blowing up bigger and bigger. Looked a little like pity. As for the rest, basically nothing happened. A bubble was launched. I feel conflicted saying this, but I want some crappy filler.

I understand it's hard to break out of the arc and do some filler (Bleach figured it out, I guess...), but I think the fans would be a lot happier. Even if they do the ones where everyone is in medieval Japan.

If I remember correctly they actually broke off mid fight for an extended period and had Ichigo be annoyed by it.

Yeah, they also broke the fourth wall when they resumed. I can't find the clip, but I did find a minute filler animation of someone eating. Though I think an episode of Luffy eating could potentially be entertaining. (Much like any Toriko crossover.)

More stuff like Luffy attempting to read a book would be great. Someone should just tell Oda to jot down a list of amusing premises for things the crew does between arcs and use those as filler episodes. Single sentences that can be expanded into minutes of screentime.

He already does that. In one of the SBS Q&As, he said he had so many ideas for the manga that he couldn't fit all of them in, so he'd often send some of those ideas to the anime crew. I know at least two early episodes of filler were supposed to be part of the manga but got cut due to him wanting to reach the Grand Line by chapter 100. So, yeah, him sending ideas to the anime team to use as filler has been happening basically since the series started.

Well he clearly needs to send them more crap then. I want more Daddy the Father episodes and less Zenny Pirates. Either way though, we need the filler. It's Filler or the terrible pain of Endless Recap loops.

Nullsmack posted:God no, this is as overdone of a trope as any. Yes, it is, but it also would've been filler that basically writes itself. And I'd really rather have filler than have the pacing this arc's going through, and I really really hope the next arc doesn't have these pacing problems. That would just... ugh. No. It deserves better than that. I really hope the anime team either puts filler in before the next arc, or powers up through it anyway and puts in filler after, because I do not want that arc to have these pacing issues.

Well, to be fair, the next arc is a lot more action-packed, with the exception of a few chapters. If the recaps are the same length and we get our 2:30 minute opening, I think we'll be better on the pacing front. Oh hell, I'd watch anyway. I'm  the next arc.Maybe they can add a couple of episodes of crew interaction filler since we didn't get any time with the crew after they reunited and went on to Fishman Island?

Ugh, The filler isn't so bad when you're behind and you can watch several in a row, but I'm just not getting my One Piece fix when all we really get is... well I mean that last episode was almost just a recap of what happened in the last 5. At this rate I would almost prefer just not getting an episode...

I was under the impression that Oda was simply saving the flash backs for a later period, esp. when they use a new power. I mean a lot happened during those two years, I feel like he is eventually going to use that material.

New Episode. Brook is now in in the same ridiculously overpowered fruit league as Robin. A true Soul Man. Also, Luffy appears to have gone full Shaolin on the island after Raleigh left and learned animal attacks.

Best episode in a while. Zeo is the only fishman pirate that's entertaining. That was maybe the most plausible shonen fight dialogue, because they both actually stop to talk constantly instead of the usual "imsayingalotbutreallyitallhappensinasplitsecond"

Spoilers for next arc: Again, Luffy is being forced to complete below his threshold because the next main villain has control of gasses, and keeps stealing Luffy's oxygen so he doesn't have to fight him directly.

Gyges posted:New Episode. Brook is now in in the same ridiculously overpowered fruit league as Robin. A true Soul Man. Not true, plenty of ways to break bones. Bash them, burn them, dunk them in acid. slicing tends to fail, but several good cannon blasts would probably do the trick. Or you could go the pure evil route and just end his will to live somehow... I mean he only has the option to come back, he could choose not to. Someone had the fruit before him so you know death's gotta be possible.

I would be really interested in seeing something about a previous owner of a devil fruit we've already seen. Actually I'm kind of surprised that we haven't heard of anything like that. The devil fruits can make people so powerful I'm sure there are tons of legends/stories about them. I want to see the person who had the Gum-Gum fruit before Luffy Senor Candle fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Sep 24, 2012 |

But even if you break Brooks's bones, he can just reheal with some milk.

"d[-.- posted:b" post="407871200"] You could always get Nami to pull another Buggy. Hit him with a cannonball and tie up all the loose bones. Unless his soul form shoots lasers from his eyes or something...

"d[-.- posted:b" post="407871200"] I'm pretty sure this was a joke, and that the only times that Brook has been shown to *actually* be healed by milk were anime-only filler scenes written by people who didn't realize that it was a joke.  In the original Thriller Bark thing, he just announced that he was healed and then immediately fell down again like an idiot. Dukeofdummies posted:Or you could go the pure evil route and just end his will to live somehow... I mean he only has the option to come back, he could choose not to. Someone had the fruit before him so you know death's gotta be possible. He had the option to come back ONCE. If he gets hurt badly enough to die again/completely break his soul's grip on his remains, I'm pretty sure it's game over.

KoB posted:Sure, but he has to be able to heal somehow, and milk makes perfect One-Piece-world-sense. As far as I can tell he seems to just heal with time and Chopper's help like the rest of the crew. It's the same logic as being able to eat (and poop) just like everyone else does, I guess.

The Nami special is already subbed in French (I can link because Funimation doesn't have the rights, right?  ). No clue about an English sub.

I'm pretty sure each of the OP characters has a healing item: Luffy, it's meat Zoro, it's sleep Franky, it's cola The more human characters, not so much, but if I had to guess: Nami, it's money Sanji, it's women Robin, it's books Chopper is a doctor, so he autoheals I guess Usoppu, --- well, I guess he heals like a human So it's kind of natural for Brook to have a healing item, and milk makes a lot of OP-sense. Also, I hope they sub that Nami special soon. I saw it on TV when it came out, and I really want to see it (and actually understand what they are saying). I think the Arlong Arc was one of the most powerful arcs, with the walk to Arlong being one of One Piece's best moments. Oda really knows how to build up to a villain.

Animation was all over the place but the finishers ranged from decent to drat good. Filler made sense, so that's nice. Arc's end getting closer. Just got an email from Amazon. They're offering up to 50% off anime titles. One Piece collection sets for less than $20.
