While I love Doflamingo, he's pure hatred for the world and disregard for nearly everyone not himself or family, die already.

Shadow0 posted:I was unaware of this change. How much was changed? In the Anime Hodi and his crew get kidnapped and are going to be sold into slavery before Arlong saves them. In the Manga it's made clear humans never did anything to Hodi or his crew, they just grew up steeped in the hate for humans that permeated the district they grew up in. Making the whole thing about the horror of inherited hate instead of vengeance or actual retribution.

SatansBestBuddy posted:post updates I will give a short summary of what I think so far, I am not THAT far in to the series yet in the grand scheme. East Blue Saga - Obviously since it starts the whole story off, pretty good. I think that things got kind of slow around the middle when they pick up Usopp, but overall good. I think Loguetown was maybe my favorite part. Alabasta Saga - I think it started off good but sort of slumped in a lot of spots. When we first meet Vivi was good but parts like Drum island i think were a little boring aside from meeting Chopper and the doctor lady whose name I cant remember. When they got to Alabasta was hit and miss, there was some good stuff but it felt a little too drawn out, but the ending was good. Sky Island Saga - In attempt to cut down the watch time to get to current I am using a "no filler" episode guide so I skipped mostly to when they get to Jaya and just this morning watched the episode where they sail through the Heaven's Gate. So far I am liking this arc a lot.

Silver2195 posted:I just watched the One Piece filler arcs I hear are generally considered the best (G-8 and Ice Hunters). Previously the only OP fillers I'd seen were the Warship Island arc and some of the movies, which were not very good even for shonen filler, and the summaries I'd read of some of the other filler arcs weren't very promising either. G-8 and Ice Hunters were better than the other One Piece filler, but still not really good.

Strawhats lose their flag, they want to retrieve the flag and try and avoid Luffy finding out. Pretty simple stuff, makes sense, doesn't require good fight scenes and it had alot of funny moments. That's all a One Piece filler arc has to be really. Keep it simple and focus on funny Strawhat interactions rather doing battles which will inevitably look bad because you can't use the budget on them.

I like the filler in early One Piece where they explore an ancient civilization at the bottom of a whirlpool and find a cursed gem in a booby trapped ruin that an undead pirate captain died trying to get after being literally backstabbed by his crew. I just like old school pirate adventure One Piece.

Mostly because I found the family mostly dumb and the Phoenix Pirates annoying. Also it uses a Lava Fruit and a Phoenix Fruit as powers for filler characters, which puts it in conflict with the canon even more than that time they had Zoro cut an anchor chain back in East Blue.

Rewatching OP is great because you can set the pacing to your own preference by simply skipping staring and recaps. Watching it as it airs is terrible.

Ryaomon posted:When the hell was the last time you watched Enies Lobby because I remember even as it was airing that the pacing was poo poo. It wasn't nearly as bad as it is now, but it was still pretty bad. The part when they jump over the bridge and inserted like 5+ episodes of crew backstory recaps, I believe INCLUDING the recently covered Robin's, was awful. But I still watched regularly up until about Punk Hazard, then I couldn't take it anymore. I still love early One Piece though. I recently started playing Pirate Warriors 3 with a friend of mine and while the early missions hit nostalgia over-all, it mostly makes me fondly remember when I first watched the anime. The early arcs are still so great.

Ryaomon posted:When the hell was the last time you watched Enies Lobby because I remember even as it was airing that the pacing was poo poo. I was just thinking of posting a "What was your favorite arc?" thing and declaring mine to probably be Enies Lobby. Pacing was, of course, some of the absolute worse. Especially with that drat bridge. Aside from that though, we got the Gears and everyone else's powerups. Many of the fights were amazing, especially Zoro's and Sanji's, and the fights with Blueno and Lucci. Lots of emotion. Lots of Robin. --- Pretty good once you distill it to the actual plot. I also came to realize recently that everyone either had a Zoan fruit, some kind of relation to an animal (Fukkoru was an owl), or had some core move which was animal based (except maybe the kabuki guy?), even the sword was an animal. Also there was a pigeon, which I thought was going to play a bigger role. Maybe it was Zoan person or something I thought. Or some kind of magical something.

I've been watching this for the last 4-5 months or so and I'm on Dressrosa finally. Still a good 60ish episodes away from being caught up but I feel safe enough to post this and look at a few replies. PROS -This is the best anime I've ever watched -I've cried like three times -I never cry - Marineford or Enies lobby are by far the best arcs. - Or Fishman Island - Franky owns, Chopper owns, Luffy owns, Buggy owns, tons of the side characters/villians own. - The powers are amazing and so varied and unique. It's a nice change from most anime where everyone is either a sword dude or an energy shooting dude or magic dude or whatever. Reminds me a lot of Hunter X Hunter my previous favorite anime in that way. CONS -Usopp - Everyone said "he gets better." I listened. He pretty sweet as Sogeking during Enies lobby, and I liked that he stood up for the Merry even if he was batshit unreasonable about it. He went back to being poo poo pretty quick, but again everyone said after the timeskip he is cool again. He was neat on Fishman Island, not unbearable during Punk Hazard, but the second the poo poo gets real in Dressrosa he is right back to being a bitch. I hate him. I hate him so much, and I wish he would die and be replaced by the barrier-barrier fanboy or literally any random gently caress off the street.

Oh my loving God he just left Robin to die. What a piece of filth. Like Luffy would ever forgive him. EDIT: Oh he went back and was a bitch a bit more before doing something. Gonna go ahead and call this rest of this fight. Trebol is fine. Usopp freak the gently caress out and gets beat around for a bit. He then does something clever or has an accident while being a bitch that ends up saving the day either by knocking out Sugar and someone who was a human fights Trebol. Likely one of the gladiators that got turned into a toy. Arrgytehpirate fucked around with this message at 03:22 on Feb 17, 2016 |

When he dons the mask as SogeKing, you can tell his mind is broken at that point. I do agree that after so many traumatic events you'd think he would have more courage. I think the anime plays Usopp the courage over and over again to death

Suspicious Lump posted:Haha this is great. Usopp is frustrating as gently caress. I really didn't like him until Water 7/Ennis Lobby. Then he was OK to great through to the time skip. Then he starts off ok and quickly becomes the same old guy I didn't like from back before Sogeking. God Usopp was a good bit, but I've mostly disliked him since the time skip and really hated him during Dressrosa.

Yeah, this is a pretty important thing to remember that still makes it not that great but understandable. Plus, you haven't finished yet, Usopp redeems himself in a big way and that isn't hyperbole at all.

Those are sooooome standards you've got there You should watch better shows, the one piece anime is not very good. That you liked the Marineford War part of it is mindblowing to me, I feel like that was considered one of the most poorly received arcs compared to the manga version. There's a fully colored version of the manga on kissmanga now as well, I'd suggest that over the anime especially now

Don't get me wrong the Marineford arc dragged but for raw emotional impact and the consequences are awesome. I never thought Luffy would quit or doubt and that surprised me about the character. Sanji has an annoying gimmick but he makes up for it by being a beast and fighting with Zoro in comedic fashion. Honestly if they did a spinoff with just Franky, Chopper, Brook, and Robin running around doing things I would not be upset.
