Gyges posted:In the manga did they(manga spoilers) show off Caribou's ability at this point? I could have sworn that they held off until later. Yeah. In the manga, Caribou didn't show his ability until after the real Straw Hats had already left Sabaody. I did like seeing the new rookie pirates fighting, that also wasn't shown in the manga.

Not to mention the fact that he's being trained by Garp directly, even Luffy didn't have that.

XboxPants posted:Can anyone tell me, without any specific spoilers, how political the next arc ("Punk Hazard", I guess? don't know anything about it)? It definitely gets into some of the consequences of the World Governments fixation on weapons of mass destruction, plus the slow-burning fallout from Marineford. Also I'd have to second the thought on DBZ. Dragonball had that shonen adventure stuff going where they were traveling the world and seeing crazy sights and fighting crazy enemies, but then DBZ comes along and suddenly the actual setting becomes absolutely pointless because every character and just fly/teleport anywhere they want instantly and anyone who dies is just magicked back to life in the end even though there are rules meant to prevent this but then they just find ways around them so who cares.

Yeah, Arlong Park was a much shorter, more straightforward story. Alabasta was a huge storyline that encompassed several other storylines and had numerous plots alongside the main one. It was a terrible idea to try and compress all that into one movie.

EDIT: Whoops wrong One Piece thread. At any rate I'm glad the animes finally getting to the fighting, I've been waiting to see how it looks in motion! For as bad as the filler has gotten these past couple arcs, I've still really enjoyed the action quite a bit.

Flameingblack posted:I understand why this show is padded out the way it is, but it's crushing to watch every new episode with basically 12 minutes roughly, of new content that's moving forward and not filler (Or the post-intro and recap) It makes you really hope for a fan cut at some point, like they did with Marineford Abridged. I've been pretty disappointed with how they're treating the New Fishman Pirate fights in the anime, the animation quality is so inconsistent. Like 15 minutes of guys just bobbing up and down while running sounds play and then suddenly they bust out like 30 seconds of movie-quality animation for one little sequence and it's really jarring.

Autumncomet posted:Oh, I follow the manga and I really want to get to Punk Hazard too, but I also don't want to see the pacing ruined. Yeah, I'd much rather have filler arcs too. Some of them weren't bad. G8 was great, I thought the Ice Hunter stuff was okay, and the one with the giant beetle wasn't awful...Wow that was pretty backhanded actually, but God they're still better than 20 minutes of flashbacks or wide shots of dudes bouncing up and down between two frames while the same stock "group of men running" sound effect plays.

Shadow0 posted:Vander Decken is really good at living. Luffy's Jet attack didn't keep him down, nor a stab to the chest. In fact, he seemed completely over it by the time he was back to screwing things up. I think Oda should have just let him die from the stab wound, being unconscious because he fell over from an axe he was carrying anyway is kind of silly in my opinion. I think that was the joke. After all that he only passed out by tripping over something.

I think a lot of the problems the anime has would be solved if they went in seasons so the manga would have a few months to get ahead, but apparently it just doesn't work like that in Japanese television.

My Verdict: A pretty cool movie. Animation was pretty great, filled with cameos, interesting characters, the lot. My biggest gripe with the movie is that it moves at such a quick pace that it's kinda hard to grasp whats going on at times. Zoro and Sanji's fights were so fast and short that it was kinda hard to tell what was even happening, or like how they set sail for the enemy island and within seconds were blowing up enemy warships. Also, getting to see Brook as a kid was pretty cool. Anyway, I still think it's a pretty fun movie. I think I liked Strong World better, though.

tsob posted:Luffy, Magellan and Mr. 3 can never change their bodies so they have no internal organs and are composed only of rubber, poison or wax - full proper logias like Smoker and Ceaser can. Well Magellan and Mr 3 are not literally made of poison and wax, they just produce it. Luffy is made of rubber but he has no control over the amount of rubberiness he has, he can't switch it off or produce more rubber like a Logia could.

Dukeofdummies posted:you know, I finally read some of the manga's. You are totally right. They could absolutely pack two chapters into one episode. Easily Yeah, and that's what they did up til about Thriller Bark. Now they're so close to the manga that they're basically stuck and can't do anything about it, cause they don't go on extended breaks like TV shows in the west do.

I dunno if it'd be okay to link, but there is a group out there doing an edit called One Pace that re-edits everything into a 2 chapter per episode pace. So far they've done everything after the time skip, and they've started on stuff before the war now while they wait for new episodes to come out, as of right now they're at the start of Thriller Bark. It'll be a while before they get to Marineford, but so far they've been doing updates every few days. As for devils fruits: It's pretty certain that the reason they use Zoan fruits on objects is because they gain sentience from the fruit. With what we know right now the only thing that'd happen if you fed a sword the fire fruit is that you'd get either a regular sword with fire powers you can't activate, or a sword made of fire that you can't touch cause its made of fire. Also it seems likely that each devil fruit is based on a specific kind of fruit, and when a user dies the power goes into another fruit of the same type. Smiley's fruit was shaped like an apple, so they had a ton of apples nearby just to be sure it appeared there.

lordfrikk posted:Just to be sure - did I miss some important development in the anime? Because you all seem to know quite a bit about the fruits and whatnot and there was literally zero info about them since Blackbeard took Whitebeard's power. A lot of it is info that's been around for a while, plus some stuff that was implied here and there and eventually confirmed by Oda. The idea that fruits regenerate is something that's been implied for a long time but it wasn't outright shown how it worked until this arc.

We just got a good example when Tashigi was in Smokers body and couldn't figure out how to turn into smoke. Every other time we've seen a Logia user they've trained for years to the point that they can go intangible on instinct.

Renoistic posted:The whole "Shanks being a Yonko"-thing confused me a bit when he showed up at Marine HQ. When does the show first mention the Yonko, and when is it mentioned that Shanks and White-Beard are members? When Garp met up with them at Water 7 he explained what they are and specifically said that Shanks and Whitebeard were members. Kaido and Big Mom's silhouettes were also shown but they weren't named until later in the series.

I thought it was weird that if I watched the new episode on Sunday there weren't any ads, but since it was one day a week chalked it up to weirdness. Well the newest episode uses the regular flash player, it's only the previous episodes that use Hulu.
