THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE.
----------------------------------------
Not too bad an episode. I was kind of expecting a bit more, and that scene with Hebi-sama "remembering" seemed rather tacked on. I would have preferred it more if she hadn't been on the screen, and the images were just stills, and not moving. It felt really weird, and gave me a sense of motion sickness that I didn't enjoy.

Next episode is going to be quite the emotional one, but the funny scenes with Luffy will help balance that out.
I reject your reality, and substitute my own.

I hate the pacing.

Everything happens too slow, heck, it took half an episode for him to turn gear second.

This fight didn't interest me in the manga at all. It rather is everything afterwards, like, the stuff about Hancock, and... well, that would be spoilers.


Yeah. The first half of this anime, roughly up to the Skypiea arc, imo, was fine. Though once they hit Water 7, pacing definitely takes a huge hit...most noticeably Thriller Bark through now. But eh, what can you do. Just stick to the manga then if you don't like it. No biggie.

It took way too long for luffy to go gear second. he should have done that from the beginning.

It's a chapter per episode again -__-

Maybe it's better to have it like this than having some fillers...

One Piece has been slow paced from the beginning of times, odd if someone was or is expecting something else.

Even though it's a little slow, it's still entertaining :D

Hopefully that flashback that looks to happen next episode doesn't take too long though.

Oh, you'll find out. Heh heh.

It's paced to be one episode per chapter. So yes, it's actually at that speed.

Hahahah, Luffy peace sign was epic.

But indeed, it is getting dragged on a bit too much.
Still, I don't want to complain since they are doing such a great job animating it,
even thought I was expecting a bit more from the "Oh your gonna launch your most powerful attack at me? Just a moment I will just wanna lay back real quick."

one thing that separates one piece from the other shounen animes is that they always have a 7 min intro or so, at least the episode didnt start untill after 7 minutes... check for yourself.

Yea I've touched a snake before. Although it isn't anything necessarily pleasant when they squeeze you as if they were trying to suffocate you, it is quite an experience.

If it weren't for that I think One Piece would move too fast. It's easy to complain about pacing in a show that's progressed passed 400 episodes, but when you consider the manga and how it could lead to unwanted filler, I dunno if that's something I'd care for. Sometimes I wish anime would take breaks like American TV shows do.

The real story of One Piece doesn't even seem to have begun yet. They could certainly afford to zip past this arc and slow down afterward. It will take forever to show where the One Piece crew are at this pace.

If you want to REALLY complain about pacing, there's always Detective Conan. I like watching it for the different cases, but it goes nowhere plotwise.

I've gotten used to the long recaps by now, but the fight itself was...repetative really. Let's recap starting from last episode.

I'll move these statues so they don't get damaged, ok now I will fight you seriously, we too will fight you seriously, oh no Luffy is getting his ass kicked, pwnage, I'll move this statue so it doesn't get damaged, ok now I will fight you seriously, we too will fight you seriously, oh no Luffy is getting his ass kicked, second gear, pwnage.

Dunno how it went down in the manga, but I was bored with this fight until second gear happened. Awesome ending though, can't wait to see what it's all about next episode.

I agree with this. If they don't want to put too much chapters in an episode because of fear of catching up to the manga then they could have just put a few extra punches and kicks after Luffy went to Gear Secando and make the recap a little smaller. That way we would have been more pleased.
Mediocre episode put the way he pawn there asses was enjoyable. I guess next episode we will have Boa turning emo to make her sympathetic after they made us hate her at first.

if they would put 2 chapters per episode the pacing would be way too fast...
i mean in this chapter was the gear second fight, in the next there is Boa's past...
so putting this in one single episode is kinda fast... especially boa's past... the emotions wouldnt be the same

Yes I have. But it's nowhere near a snake's titties, if they even have'em.
Milking a snake means forcing its venom out of its fangs, in order to study it and make antidotes, for you who don't know.

Whew finally caught right up with the series. Well at least Luffy has settled the fight for now. It's about time that those snake girls got beaten up. Happily being willing to smash up fellow people of your island definitely doesn't show them as great people.

I know we're probably about to go into a tragic backstory, but it will have to be something amazing to change my mind regarding those three sisters. Treating others the way they do and not even caring what might happen to that island. Really this has to be the first time I've thought "okay let's beat these women up already." But who knows I might change my mind depending on how the flashback goes. Views just have to be changed as you go.

Anyways being caught up makes me wonder how the rest of the crew ened up. Thank god Sanji didn't land on this island. His not wanting to hit a lady would definitely end his life here. Hopefully Zoro landed in a hospital considering his condition.
