Soul King is fine but airship ballon boobs Nami and Robin are loving cringeworthy. It's like a bad porn with 1 dollar boob job girls.

I like Brook's new design too, but I still feel like we didn't get enough of his old one. I think most of the post-timeskip designs are too busy; I still prefer pretty much all of the original designs too. Oh well, I guess.

I love the timeskip designs, I think they're all much improved, particularly Zoro and Luffy. Though I'm hard pressed to say if I like Zoro's new design more than mustachioed Zoro in a suit! Bubble tit Nami and Robin were a problem pre-timeskip as the series progressed.

I agree, preskip the designs were great. Especially Robin and Nami, not sure what happened with Robin. She went from a full character to another chick. Maybe this will change? edit: Next week ep is titled Usopp dies. Omg does that mean sogeking will come out? yay! Suspicious Lump fucked around with this message at 13:38 on Dec 22, 2014 |

Then she lost all her features (both visual and character) and grew boobs to make up for it. I swear sometimes they barely even spend the necessary time to draw her face.

I just watched the first episode of Paced One Piece on a whim and this show was.... not what I thought One Piece was. I am so shocked. I'm not super interested in watching the whole show but this was like, bizarre, and kinda cool as a fan project thing. laplace fucked around with this message at 05:39 on Dec 25, 2014 |

I thought One Piece was a happy show about colorful pirates who get into fights but then become friends. Episode 1 of Paced One Piece had: A kid maim himself, some dudes get straight up murdered with a pistol, and then someone getting eaten by a sea monster and someone else getting their arm torn off. Was not expecting Brutal Murder Funtime.

Well, it is that. It's also all the dark stuff that you mentioned, but One Piece has always had a very good balance between the two. Also should have known what you're getting into when you're dealing with pirates! Your reaction is interesting since the anime did go outta of its way to rearrange the chapters so that Luffy's backstory came up later, so it did start off with light-hearted adventures first before digging into Luffy's beginnings. Obviously, One Pace changed it back to the manga's beginning.

It's too bad you don't wanna watch the series, even if you only watch the first dozen episodes it's still great to hear a first time viewers experience watching the show.

I know newer episodes are really bad and need to be fan edited just to be tolerable, but the older stuff is still really good if not the best and doesn't really need to be sped up. I mean, maybe cut out the east blue dragons, those were dull, but otherwise even the filler was enjoyable back in the day. Seems like a waste of resources.

I'm not criticizing it, the first episode that I watched was pretty alright, ridiculous animation problems aside. I was just alarmed that the show wasn't like, Pokemon. I expected Piratemon in all honesty. It's probably a good thing that it isn't Pokemon, I actually thought this episode was pretty alright and created a pretty good starting point. Anyway, I don't think I'm going to be watching any more, I only really watched the episode cuz I was like "Wow, a fan went and did all this work?". The show itself really doesn't interest me at all.

You'll be surprised (and terrified) by the amount of effort fans will put into something. I also think you should give real One Piece a shot. It certainly takes its time, but it's worth it. Reading the manga might be faster though if time is your concern. Try to watch three episodes and then decide if you like it (the old three episode rule). Regarding the lastest episode (lots of thoughts): I was really hoping Ussop would actually do something... Especially because everyone had so much faith in him. I don't know if it was to pad the anime or something, but it's insane how much encouragement he needed to do something so critical. And they didn't even show the fight. And if Ussop could have surprised Trebol enough to cut him, why didn't he just aim at Sugar? Or use fire? Also what happens when she sleeps at night? Is this why they return to the Toy House every night? And why does Soldier-san follow that order? Isn't he wanted for stealing the king etc? And I know Sugar fell unconscious right after (for no good reason [what was she expecting would happen?!]), but she touched Ussop. I kind of wanted to see his toy form. At least SOP is finally over so stuff can happen maybe.

At least SOP is finally over so stuff can happen maybe. The fight played out similarly to how it was presented in the manga - mostly offscreen. As for the use of fire, presumably Trebol can choose whether his slime is flammable or not (like Caeser Clown with his gas). The toys stay toys 24/7. Sugar doesn't lose control over them when she sleeps, only when she's violently forced into unconciousness. It's not like this is the first time something like this has been shown - look at Moira for example. Kyros/Soldier doesn't return to the Toy House each night, because he didn't get the contract "obey us, don't harm us, etc". He's a fugitive toy though, as seen when he's introduced. Sugar touched Usopp but wasn't actively using her power at the time. She just wanted to force him to swallow the "poisoned" grape, expecting him to die/pass out. She didn't know it was super hot, and certainly wasn't expecting Usopp's horrifically violent reaction face. She was scared shitless by that, hence fainting from shock. And yes, stuff can happen now.

She only knew they were trying to force her to eat it and only assumed it was poisoned. I guess Toy Soldier only claimed to go back to the Toy House every night then so that Rebecca wouldn't know and then accidentally get them in trouble or whatever.

They have ensured this by never covering none than one chapter's worth of material in an episode. The manga is still far out of sight. The manga is about 30 weeks ahead of the anime which, I think, is about where it's been sitting for a while now. Gyges fucked around with this message at 04:58 on Dec 30, 2014 |

I'm actually fine with just having one real episode per month. In fact, they should probably just do that. Air repeats 3 weeks, new episode 4th week or something. Or make it one of those 12 minute shows, but keep the 4 minute OP.

It's been mentioned before but the reason why One Piece and other long runners don't take a season off is because by continually producing content, they don't lose their timeslot which apparently is difficult to get back if they go off the air. Japan just doesn't do reruns for whatever reason other than the occasional reairings like Psycho-pass and gundam seed hd.

There's also the issue that putting out horribly paced crap doesn't seem to affect viewership. So why bother with spending money on filler arcs when you can just toss a couple more bucks at your Foley guy to get double the running sounds?

A good example was the most recent flashback, just six panels, maybe half a page, still made people cry. You can read it in like 20 seconds. I can't wait to see how the anime fucks it up.

A pretty good episode this week I thought. I really enjoyed Kyros's transformation back into his human form with the song playing. I find it hard to believe he beheaded Doffy so easily, but I don't know how he'd have survived that. Looking pretty much like Sabo will get the fruit next episode too

Despite Blackbeard's claim that his Yami Yami no Mi is the "most evil" of the fruits, I can't imagine it being more evil than the Hobby Hobby fruit. Families are being torn apart, people are cheating on each other, and the toys can't do anything but watch it all happen. Blackbeard doesn't even seem like he can use the typical movement or invulnerability aspects of being a logia. I'm not even sure what the Yami Yami no Mi does that haki doesn't do anyway. They've really made logia types a lot less threatening since haki. I remember Enel was talking to down to Luffy for having a paramecia type, and even at one point saying "Oh, he's just a paramecia type, so I've seen the extent of his ability already." But the paramecia have basically infinite extra and side abilities (like Law's Scalpel or Shambles or any of his many other tricks). And like the Hobby Hobby fruit dominates any person that she touches and turns them forever into her slave - that's crazy powerful. I really hope they go more into why the Yami Yami no Mi was worth all the trouble Blackbeard went through to get it. Kingnothing posted:I have to assume that he's logia type and his body is made of string. "Logia" in Japanese literally means "natural type" (自然系（ロギア）), which string, I would imagine, does not fall into. Shadow0 fucked around with this message at 08:43 on Jan 12, 2015 |

Hasn't Blackbeard only displayed the Gura Gura in one arm? Marco comments Teach's body is different so I'm guessing maybe he lost an arm and had someone else's grafted on. So he can take powers from one person and push them into someone else, and in his case someone else's arm. Now that we know fruit's regenerate I wonder if the Gura Gura will considering it momentarily had no user.
