I guess I kind of felt more like Nami this episode. Franky's tanks transformations were awesome and all, and I can understand how funny Chopper, Ussop, and Luffy were in their reaction, but it just wasn't doin' it for me I guess. They may have massively strayed from any sense of being an anime about pirates, haha. Also, I stand by my conviction that Human-Human fruit doesn't grant you burrowing powers.

socialsecurity posted:The Luffy/Usopp/Chopper wonder over the Franky stuff works as a quick gag. When it is dragged out over 5 episodes it gets tiresome. That's what I mean. The tech is fine, I have no problem with them having a tank or anything, but I guess it just feels especially childish and sometimes rather drawn out. Part of why - sorry everyone - I don't like Chopper. It's okay - or even funny - once in a while (especially nipple lights), but when it's every time Franky does anything, it just feels like the creators are praising themselves a bit much.

Cipher Pol 9 posted:I'd also be more than happy with the new Horn Point being used more often. It has a really cool design, and especially when compared to his default form, it better shows off how he's aged and become more confident after his training. That said, I hope he'll reveal some way of using the old version of Horn Point one day. Without it, he only has Walk Point to prove that he is, in fact, a reindeer. The Human Human Fruit grants human powers. Horns are not human powers. Nor is tunneling. 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.

Bobulus posted:Chopper has totally chemically-hacked his fruit. His devil is probably just tripping out on drugs. "What? Horns as wings? Sure, why not?"  It's unfortunate that his medical research into boosting the powers of a devil's fruit conveniently works solely for him. I guess it's still better than Brook creating musical drugs that affects specific targets, not just anyone that hears it.

KoB posted:Gear 3 seems like a dumb Luffy idea that happened to work out Every time Gear 3 happens I just can't get over the physics (or lack of it) and feel like his attacks are any stronger. He's just full of air. If he used the air like a balloon and used the force of air traveling rapidly as his giant arm decompressed or something, then that'd be acceptable, but how does he even get the air into his bones? Not that physics ever make sense in One Piece (or shounen at all) And does anyone else not like the art style for haki armament? The idea is fine - since he's made out of rubber, his normal punches should only hurt so much as being hit by rubber, but I just don't like the art for it.

I was thinking, and it might be a while from now (and someone might have said this already), but if Oda's gonna do another movie of an arc, War of the Best would make a good film adaption. At least we got a redo of the Arlong Park, but it was good already in its original form. Before filler and boob inflation...

cooldude2.0 posted:The best part of the latest episode was Neptune's face as he watched the giant pufferfish get goaded into blowing up bigger and bigger. Looked a little like pity. As for the rest, basically nothing happened. A bubble was launched. I feel conflicted saying this, but I want some crappy filler. I'm all for filler. In my opinion, the filler is usually not too bad. I understand it's hard to break out of the arc and do some filler (Bleach figured it out, I guess...), but I think the fans would be a lot happier. Even if they do the ones where everyone is in medieval Japan.

Yeah, they also broke the fourth wall when they resumed. I can't find the clip, but I did find a minute filler animation of someone eating. Though I think an episode of Luffy eating could potentially be entertaining. (Much like any Toriko crossover.)

I'm pretty sure each of the OP characters has a healing item: Luffy, it's meat Zoro, it's sleep Franky, it's cola The more human characters, not so much, but if I had to guess: Nami, it's money Sanji, it's women Robin, it's books Chopper is a doctor, so he autoheals I guess Usoppu, --- well, I guess he heals like a human So it's kind of natural for Brook to have a healing item, and milk makes a lot of OP-sense. Also, I hope they sub that Nami special soon. I saw it on TV when it came out, and I really want to see it (and actually understand what they are saying). I think the Arlong Arc was one of the most powerful arcs, with the walk to Arlong being one of One Piece's best moments. Oda really knows how to build up to a villain.

Nami.rear end may be the best file I have ever downloaded. Nami Special Spoilers Despite being one of my favorite arcs, I didn't really like the special that much. Just felt too rushed, which is surprising considering how long it was. The beginning was cool though, and I liked the art. And yeah, the walk to Arlong Park was nothing special like the first one. I think the extra sound effects of them walking with the different music ruined it perhaps, or maybe the camera angles, but it was disappointing. Also, I don't much care for a lot of people's new powers. Chopper's Kungfu Point was finally something I was willing to accept as an ability granted by the Human Human fruit, but then he became a mole I know One Piece has a lot of technology, but Franky's new robots and things aren't really doing it for me Brook is okay I guess, but watching the drawn out hypnosis scene was annoying Nami hasn't apparently changed I saw Robin's powerup coming, and it's a pretty okay use of her power honestly Sanji's power up is actually really cool, as is Zoro's Though I don't actually care much for Firehawk or Haki Armament (mostly the art) But Ussoppu is by far the worst. He now has plant powers? But they aren't powered by any logic at all. He sent out a giant, running pine tree wolf whose nose explodes? It's just stupid in my opinion. It's not any clever use of his character or his character's abilities up to this point or even a clever use of plants. Shadow0 fucked around with this message at 11:38 on Oct 12, 2012 |

Bobulus posted:We've only seen the plants used once each. He's used the carnivorous plant monster thing every time now except this last time. I guess the difference between the dials and the plants was that they required cleverness and some skill sometimes or at least some kind of stamina. Literally anyone can use these pop greens. He used to be a sniper, now he just throws plants at them that do all sorts of weird things that have nothing to do with plants. I guess I was more forgiving of his new power until he used his last finishing move. A pinetree wolf with an explosive nose? What was the point of the pinetree wolf part? Why not just shoot an explosive? And why could it run?! And it all just seems irrelevant to his training on food island. Taratang posted:The problem with Usopp's new abilities is that some of his stronger attacks are getting dangerously close to the superhero trope of "well if he has that ability why didn't he use it when x happened". To be fair, he theoretically has limited supplies of every pop green. DukeOfDummies posted:However what I really wanna know is is he still negative? I think he's freaked out already a few times while they were reaching the island and when they were in the cage. I wonder if Peronna's power would work on Robin.

Last episode has me wondering. So Sanji mentions Blackbeard wouldn't want Chopper's human-human fruit, but what would happen if a human ate the human-human fruit? I bet it would give him antler powers like how Chopper mysteriously acquired his. Sengoku's had a model, so it's different. I feel like the models are a cheap way to avoid the syllable-syllable naming convention, especially since there is a regular human-human fruit without a model.

Now that Fishman Island is over, I was kind of disappointed that octopus swordsman never did anything at all. He poisoned Luffy and it seemed like he did it on accident. So I figured something might have been up with him, but then he just turned out like the others and took all the drugs and everything and he's too old to return like Buggy or something. In short, I felt a little disappointed he wasn't as important as he was made out to be.

Marineford and Fishman Island weren't so bad for me even with all the waiting, but maybe because I didn't read the manga. Still I really wish they'd do a ton of filler. Give us a nice-paced mini-arc.

Actually, I thought the last episode was pretty awful initially. I guess most of it was good, but it was a lot of Nami ruining millions of young Japanese girl's self-images for the next 20 years and Sanji fondly remembering beating up cross-dressers. Honestly, when I first started One Piece, I thought it had pretty good messages. But now, well. I'm certain Oda created the Crimin thing to try to sell clothes (though to be fair, I haven't seen any Crimin-brand things here, but a billion One Piece merchandise [especially Chopper] [you can even get Luffy riding my town mascot <fugu>]). And now the new movie has some weird specially designed clothes line thing going on. It's not as bad as Star Wars, but sometimes I wonder if things are introduced to sell more merchandise. Which is pretty ironic, considering the message about what treasure is. Every single woman is now horribly deformed - isn't there a single normal-looking woman that isn't a mountain bandit? Nami just runs around as naked as she can, and what's with Robin's new outfit? I don't see why Brook doesn't just sit at the bottoms of stairwells before Robin walks past. And every single gay person is also a cross-dresser / transexual or something and hideously ugly? An entire race of ugly gay people that are so oversexualized they can't contain their attraction to Sanji and chase after him for 2 years? What's your message, Oda? tl;dr - I guess the pacing is getting to me, and I'm finding One Piece less and less a great anime. Hopefully the movie and the new arc are better.

If you like good things, you'll like the movie Sorry for the lovely picture (probably with my thumb in the way) It seems all the money they saved by not animating the series so well went into the movie.

Gyges posted:Not sure why they shied away from giving Luffy a spectacular giant rack when he did get horns though. Yeah, it's very unOda-like. I was really expecting it. Anyone else find the ridiculous submarine kamikaze attempts absolutely hilarious? They were literally flying out of the water into nothing and then exploded. They could have easily crashed their boats into the bottom of their boat and sank it and it would have been worth something. Or they could have jumped out. But there was no point to it at all anyway, the long-arm dude just crashes his boat on land and tries to fight Luffy himself. The movie is a lot darker, like in the last few seconds of the last episode. Going from the movie to these episodes is kind of weird because the movie is so serious, but in the show, they are launching their subs into the air into mountains and exploding. Also, anyone else feel like Nami controls weather more than predicts it? (More than just her staff obviously). Whenever the Straw Hats are in trouble, suddenly the ocean does something ridiculous to save them. And I'm still surprised Crimin isn't a clothing brand yet. I think Oda secretly dreams of being a fashion designer. But anyone else think Nami's latest outfit is a wedding dress? I can't not see it.

I really did not see Zoro killing the dragon coming (also the battle was not as great as I had hoped). This is exactly why I can't watch Toriko. "Here's a mythical creature, the last of its kind! ...and it's dead." It's a shame they didn't bring Brook along with his history with that samurai, but I guess I see what's going to happen since he was mistook for dead. And too bad Sanji didn't come to cook the dragon. Seems like a waste to have someone else cook it. I'm overthinking One Piece...

It took them like 3 weeks, but it was worth it. Anyone else think that was a really good fight finally? Probably doesn't need spoiling, but anyone else confused how Law only needs to use his sword at certain times? He can manipulate the ship or swap hearts or do all kinds of various things to people well out of his range, but to injure say Tashigi, he needs to cut her. But other times he can even use his fingers. I guess I'm just thinking too much into it. Also, how did those kids even make it that far without dying? They don't even have socks let alone any real clothes. Children in anime are always the most annoying characters.

So, I was there at the One Piece museum, listening to a recording of Oda (and reading the subtitles), and he says, "I like to use a lot of colors when I draw. The children love the colors." Which is when it finally dawned on me that One Piece's biggest target audience is children. And then I watch this:    or worse:     I understand this is Japan, where a quarter of the population smokes and people walk around reading erotic magazines in public. But I want to be able to expect more from a children's show. These characters no longer even have human form anymore. And Japanese girls already suffer from enough inferiority issues. Let alone the smoking. Who in their right mind would let someone smoke in their non-smoker body?
