There are some good moments in that opening, but from 1:00 to 1:20 both the song and the animation just completely give up, like they had to jam another twenty seconds in somewhere and were long past caring.

Just saw the episode. Bill is a cool villain; he's believably charismatic. His power is sort of a weird combination of Don Achino's and Wapol's in theory, but he uses it more like Bege's.

The power levels were weird, as they often are in filler. It wasn't clear why Luffy and Bartomeo seemed to immediately faint when they got caught, it felt like the other Straw Hats were phoning it in when fighting Desire's group, and the way Luffy's silver marble just slowly rolled over the mooks made them seem surprisingly weak for people who had taken out a bunch of 70 million+ bounty pirates.

I'm not making a fucking QCS thread for this but seriously can we take a harder stance on Kiwifarms freaks like this guy, Jesus Christ seriously, you used to be better at knocking these creeps down. I guess ADTRW mods aren't responsible like GBS mods are.

Are you posting anime!Pain as an example of anime-only material doing weird things to power levels, to comment on the current One Piece anime's animation quality, or for some other reason?

I would kill for the One Piece anime to have animation of that quality. It definitely has some weird in between frames, but the movement looks so fluid and does a great job of conveying superhuman speed and ability that I don't honestly care. It reminds me a lot of Looney Tunes.

I figured the surface of that platform was coated in seastone but it's equally likely it's just lovely writing.

The new theme tune has grown on me a lot, but I really wish they wouldn't insist on two and a half minute openings. There's a whole minute of crap that could be cut from it.

I think they do that so the actual episode can be shorter.

So does this mean Nami gets a new pair of shoes, Luffy gets a brain, Chopper gets courage, and Carrot get a heart(?), after making their way to the Emerald Rock Candy City?

Or is this more of a Hobbit thing where Luffy, Chopper, and Carrot refuse to listen to Nami and end up getting caught by the Keebler Elves while she fights animated Creepy Crawlers and then saves them from the Keebler dungeon in giant root beer barrels?

Great chapter, but best part was Luffy's response to Nami after the giant crocodile scared her. "Is that really something you need to freak out about at this point?" while Carrot and Chopper are standing right there. :lol:

Haven't read the new chapter yet, but in regards to the dub.... the Funi dub is alright but I'm not fond of Colleen Clinkenbeard (Luffy). She also does the voice of Gohan in Kai that everyone hates.

It seems like the 4kids dub was a little better in some ways in regards to the voice acting. (From the little that I watched)

Sad that Toei doesn't even try with the openings now. At the same time they try to drag them out for as many episodes as humanly possible.
Everyone would benefit from Toei taking a couple of years break from OP.

We Can, huh.

It's worth noting that in addition to the episodes, Toei's animators also do a shitton of One Piece-related adverts. Any time I've been in Japan, Luffy is hawking 7-Eleven promos, sweets, ice cream, etc.

As demonstrated by the movies they clearly have the staff to make things animate fine and look good. It's all about the budget or rather the lack thereof.

Thirty minutes later and I'm still laughing.

But seriously, this is the cheapest, most off-model garbage I can remember seeing from a big franchise that isn't out-of-context stills. I'm sure I've seen worse in my lifetime, but it's been so long that any other contenders have fallen out of my brain.

I want to see literal Clutch Cargo still images with real mouths moving edited over the characters' when they speak. I think it'd be an improvement at this point.

Good to see that our Cotton Candy Lover Chopper is finally in his element. I can imagine his bounty will skyrocket after the massive property damage he inflicts in this arc.

if they spend less money than they do on an actual episode on the OP thats 2 minutes and 15 seconds of new animation they dont have to draw like 50 times. if anything it'll be cheaper and longer next time!
