I'm pretty sure they were together for more than just two months. I would guess the adventures took place throughout a little under a year.

I've only seen movies 6, 9, and 10, but I enjoyed them all. 6 was great, but very different from anything else in the series (and Hosoda's other films). Genuinely creepy, too. 9 was pretty good, but the most enjoyable parts were from the actual series. It's a good movie because the story that it's adapting was good. The extra characters and scenes were unnecessary but didn't take away from the experience. 10 was basically it's own canon story arc compressed into a movie. I found it to be really good, though as far as the overall plot goes it didn't affect much.

It's just an HD remake of the Arlong arc right? I would assume if you've seen the original you'd know what's happening anyway, subs or not.

The subtitle is "Adventure of Hand Island" so I think it's an original story.

Well, there may be a camrip of the film at some point during its time in theaters but those are barely legible and also very illegal. But outside of that? Sometime next year when its released on DVD/Blu-Ray. Strong World's DVD had extra scenes put in at Oda's request so if Z follows suit it'd probably be worth waiting for.

Ivan Dolvich posted:Glad I'm not the only one that feels this way. The whole Otohime flashbacks were dreadfully boring and I felt like Luffy falling asleep through it. I also thought the Marineford Arc was bad. Maybe because I was expecting it to be awesomely epic and it just felt like 90% of the time was just them running or standing around. I like this show best for the interaction of Luffy's crew or watching Luffy kick rear end. Marineford was awesomely epic in the manga, but the anime version was boring as hell. Otohime on the other hand was boring no matter where you saw/read it.

It's filler that leads up to the movie, supposedly. I'm guessing it'll only be a few episodes. The end of this episode was changed from the manga because of it, but I guess this makes it easier for them to segue into Film Z.

Dukeofdummies posted:Man. G8 was also filler? It's stuff like this that makes me wonder what on earth happened to the writers in the battle of the best? Half the time I am clueless and half the time it's just painfully obvious... What happened to the writers is "Oh poo poo we're kinda close to catching up to the manga, but can't do filler. Let's stretch this poo poo out as far as we can!" So basically the same thing as Fishman Island, despite the fact that the anime wasn't that close to the manga at that point.

Gyges posted:The whole thing with Marineford was that they could totally do filler. It's a literal war between pirates and the marines, make filler battles. Hell, make an entire filler subplot about a filler pirate/crew and his/their filler arch nemesis in the Marines. Fighting it out on the sidelines, trying to get to Ace. They did make some cool filler fights by expanding the Fullbody/Django fights a bit, as well as a cool Itano Circus-ish Smoker fight. The only problem was that these fights took up 30 seconds at most. Toei just knows that One Piece will do well regardless of animation or pacing quality, so they put their budget elsewhere.

Drakkel posted: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. The Bakuman anime does this, and so do others. The problem is that since One Piece is so popular they want to maximize profits and keep viewership up.

Alpacaccino is the best filler character in anything ever. It's an alpaca-cannon with an Al Pacino pun. Unbeatable.

Srice posted:So wait. Does it cover half the chapter and adds some filler, or do they pad out reaction faces and recaps and panning shots even more than they normally do? Both, actually. The filler stuff is occasionally interesting but usually it just draws out a gag or adds unneeded exposition.

# ¿ Jan 20, 2013 15:30 |

I'd be fine with them stretching it out a bit if more of the filler was fighting. Slow pans, flashbacks, and extra background characters crying on the other hand... Regardless, Punk Hazard has a lot of content in its chapters compared to Fishman Island, so things should still be better.

Shadow0 posted: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. Law cuts things into smaller pieces with his sword. It's not that he can't move things around without cutting them, but rather it makes it easier to gently caress poo poo up by messing with pieces of things.

"d[-.- posted:b" post="414548468"] I think using Color of Armament haki to protect yourself or safely harm fruit users is different from CoA hardening. Hardening makes it black, the other stuff is what we saw before the timeskip and it's invisible. Probably.

The Color of Conqueror haki effect in Z doesn't really jive with what it's supposed to be: Scaring others into unconsciousness just by being a badass.Shadow0 posted:Yeah, everyone's right. It was much cooler when no one knew what was going on and everyone just fainted. Which then makes me feel the other hakis might be better invisible, too...

gnome7 posted:There is literally an episode of Dragon Ball Z titled "The death of Vegeta," and the episode previews for it had the narrator going "Is this the end of Vegeta? Has Freiza finally done what no one else could?" And then the episode title popped up. I don't think anything is quite that bad these days. I don't remember if the episode name was the same, but the manga chapter where Ace dies is "The Death of Portgas D. Ace." EDIT: Well poo poo, shoulda read Captain I's post more thoroughly.

The black isn't just a visual representation of armament haki, though I'm sure that's how the idea came about. It's a specific type of reenforcing called color of armament hardening. Basically it's just an advanced version of it. It's apparently not as easy to do as using it normally since people like Vergo and Z are specifically known for being able to do it. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember times when Luffy's hit Caesar without the hardening, right?

John Liver posted:After the colossal slogs of Fishman Island and now Punk Hazard, I'm really hoping Doflamingo can show the crew some actual danger, and do it quickly. This show is murdering its own dramatic tension (what little there is) by drawing everything out for so long. For all the buildup he's had over the show's run, it better pay off well. The manga's honestly the only way to go if you want tension. The padding and stretching out of scenes in the anime doesn't seem to be going anywhere any time soon.

The anime definitely has its moments here and there (and an amazing cast) but for the most part it takes a great series and makes it markedly worse. I do like reading the anime-only goons' reactions to the plot though!

Any plot points that have to be dropped for whatever reason will probably be made into Strong World-ish movies. Shiki was going to be part of the manga originally after all.

Srice posted:Oda did designs for costumes and the animals in Strong World. He was a producer for both Strong World and Z. That's the extent to which he is officially credited (besides being credited as the original creator, of course. But that goes without saying). Strong World didn't have any backtracking to East Blue so I'm not sure what you're talking about there. And while ultimately Shiki was pretty forgettable he is a canon character that's mentioned in the canon material and was originally going to be a part of the manga before Oda decided to use him for the movie. One thing about Oda's involvement with the anime as a whole is that he has free reign with the staff at this point judging from comments he's made in the Q&A sections of each volume. He's not credited for a lot of the content that he's said he was behind. He didn't write the Loguetown filler or Strong World, but he did come up with the story for it and told the anime staff what to put in.

It was just the usual generic "I won't lose! I'm gonna be the pirate king!" stuff. The opening spoiled a lot of characters, though, including one you aren't supposed to know is working for Doflamingo yet. Oh well! Seeing Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji fighting the 3 admirals was neat though.
