Looks like the current arc is almost wrapped up and hopefully the pacing will start to improve again. I'm still kinda disappointed they only did a single cutaway episode showing what's happening with Sanji's bunch though. Also the Manga thread title finally makes sense for those of us who only watch the Anime. '7 Children, but Luffy Says He's NOT the Father!'

I have to admit, I got a little emotional there at the end of that last episode, which I really didn't expect. Also, I really like this whole slowly-growing Luffy empire he's been building since he entered the New World. The next episode preview kind of ruined the whole cliffhanger though. I was actually kind of thinking he'd refuse. Very excited to move on to a new arc though...

I'm really surprised that actually happened. When Drill Head guy were chasing him I was hoping he would stop and talk to him. But I've got a feeling this is a setup for the next arc. Someone big and bad is gonna go up against the team.

We'd need a 30+ episode arc to have any real impact on the pacing of the anime. With that said, the upcoming non-filler arc is much better paced in the manga than Dressrosa was, so that's something.

Finally the very first antagonist is making his reappearance, aside from his brief moment of escape some several hundred episodes ago. The fact that characters don't just stop existing in the world of One Piece, but show up many many many many episodes later in unexpected ways is one of my favorite parts of the series. And on top of it: CP-9 as well! I really didn't expect that. Looks like some really exciting stuff is to come! Now if only Johnny and Yosaku would show up again...

Chopper and Brooke's posters are pretty great, surprised that Luffy's bounty barely went up to be honest. Barto Club is easily the best crew with the greatest ship. I'm really glad Luffy is being built up into a pirate fleet now, some of the arcs felt a little bit like pokemon syndrome where it felt like he should have a far more significant effect on the world. Kaidou had the raddest loving entrance and I am guessing all his captures were intentional so that they'd try to execute himself, but it's weird that he has apparently been beaten seven times. Interesting as well that he is the world's most powerful being one on one.

Only two minutes in but Barto Club continuing to be the greatest pirate crew of all time. My only problem with previous bumpers was that they only played Luffy's one even though I adored all the individual ones they used to have. e: Also I missed Luffy's new design last arc, it actually looks so good despite only having a few changes. e2: RE: Animation. I've started watching some other series again recently and it really shows up how poor the animation can be in One Piece, granted most of those don't have to run for a million episodes. They do still budget for big events like Gear Fourth though. I might watch the latest film because iirc the films have much better animation. e3: Hell yeah it seems like we're getting individual themes again EmmyOk fucked around with this message at 13:29 on Jun 26, 2016 |

It was weird to see Bartolomeo had one since he's not a strawhat. Vivi never got one and she's more of an actual crewmember. (Though she didn't have a bounty either) I'm still curious how Bartolomeo earned his title of Cannibal.

That would rule! I'm still hoping for law to become a Strawhat even though it's a pretty slim possibility considering he'd have to permanently abandon his own pals. My favourite bumpers were when we had the telescope zooming in on a random Strawhat doing their thing along with their little theme. Also super stoked for Kaido to start running riot in the series, gonna rule seeing Luffy fight someone who's so gigantic. Also kicked rear end that he tried to fight Fujitora because it makes sense for him not to back down from an opponent anymore.

My favorite was the one where they ran past and grabbed an item significant to them. I'm very excited to see Kaido in action. Luffy will finally be taking on one of the four most powerful people, yet I think we'll still be seeing another 20 years of One Piece.

I think, after Kaidou/Wano, Law will leave the spotlight but not before joining as part of the Strawhat Alliance with his whole crew aligned under Luffy, kind of like how Jimbei's Sun Pirates are aligned under Big Mom because of Jimbei's fealty to her. At least, until Law shows up again for the big climax at the end.  Kild posted:ya cannibal basically is equivalent to troll.

Yeah that makes a lot of sense actually. Considering he only really wanted to crush Doflamingo he might leave now though I suspect he will feel obliged to help Luffy fight Kaidou considering that's what they agreed. My vague theory for the future of the show was that Luffy would take down Kaidou and then find out Blackbeard had beaten Shanks in the meantime. Obviously that's super vague because it leaves out so many major players. Now that Eustace/Hawkins/Scratchman are after Shanks though I'm not so sure. Please don't hurt my baby Shanks  More than anything right now though I want to see more Kaidou, goddamn he looks so cool.I don't want to google in case of manga spoilers, what are the names of the two great weapons again? I remember one is a megaship and one is the mermaid princess but I can't recall the names. Pluton and Poseidon? e: One thing that changed in subs that annoyed me is that they used to just say "traf" as opposed to "traf-guy". I wish subbers went for more natural translations as opposed to exactly what it says. I'm reading some Air Gear omnibuses at the minute and they do super good natural translations. Peoples' thoughts?

I think it's great honestly how the anime OP intros set up the fantasy fighting match ups, like Sanji/Kizaru and Luffy/Akainu before and Kaidou/Luffy now. Gets me pretty hyped!

Seeing the filler be able to go at its own pace made me realise that Dressrosa was slower than I realised. What's the plot of the next film because it's hard to believe Bill will be a primary antagonist. Countdown to Bill destroyed Desire's former crew. Also it's definite that they've gone back to individual themes for the bumpers as well as different backgrounds while the posters flutter in.

Whelp. That was some terrible animation...  then suddenly  Also, how could Law have possibly seen the Luffy group and known to send in Kin'enmon and known there was someone at that exact location to swap with him? At least the pacing is good... I also like that the bad guy had a great thing going, but decided to throw it all away for the sake of being a villain.

They basically get a free Zoan power from birth, and then could eat a Devil's Fruit to gain an extra power? I was worried this thread died forever... The Ryuunosuke thing was very cute, but hearing them say his name and him replying 10,000 times got really grating fast. I guess they did it for padding, but who looks at a script with 7,000 "Ryuu!"s written and says, "Actually, could we get a few more takes on that? Yeah, and let's just use all of them." Shame that Barthelomeo never got to meet the other Strawhats; I hope he does one day. Shadow0 fucked around with this message at 22:21 on Aug 29, 2016 |
