What the hell was up with the beginning of that episode took like 6 minutes -_-

The OST song showing Dressrosa was awesome. Toys everywhere and Fujitorra appears and he's a beast at roulette.

LOL at that troll ending. Used like a half a chapter for this episode.

What's with that troll ending?! >_< If only that filler scene with Zoro and the blind old guy wasn't so dragged out... ._.

But at least the introduction to the kingdom of love and passion, Dressrosa, was good at least. Especially that OST!

I get why some people don't like the filler...but I liked the part with Zoro and Fu...errr....the blind man.

They saved the best part to open the next episode it seems.

Was that... less than 1 chapter?...

Edit: I didn't really mind the zoro and "the old man" filler but adapting less than a chapter is complete bullcrap.

The new Opening theme is great... showing the fights of Luffy & Sakazuki, Zoro & new admiral and sanji & Borsalino....
Why is the new admiral on Dressrosa? (He got Zoro's attention) I have a feeling that the person Kin'emon is looking for is the new admiral or I guess they are somehow related.
And where is Robin and Tra-Law?

Lol. The filler scene i dont mond. But did they really have to drag out the whole restaurant and gambling scene. Well, its to be expected. I mean, im surprised its still going on when its so close to the manga. Expect more filler people.

As of now, please try to refrain from looking at MAL. its a complete mess right now T-T

This is just based on the new op. But most likely the replacement admiral for aokiji?

Hmmm if anything I think One piece needs to go on a break for a year or two.
They didn't even adapt an entire chapter, they had the 4-5 minute intro also like they always do but cmon this pacing is really poor quality.
Dressrosa is an awesome arc so far in the manga but if it gets adapted anything like punk hazard it will only ruin its glory.

I thought this episode was ok. as an anime only viewer I liked being able to see Dressrosa, and witness Luffy and crew begin a new part of their journey. I'm really excited for this arc, heard so many great things about it. Can't wait to see what happens next!

Slow pacing, but that's to be expected given how close to the manga they are.

At least it wasn't just reaction shot of background character after reaction shot, that's the type of dragging I really can't stand.

Can it get even slower??? Every single episode is soooo boring. There are only bits that are somehow interesting. It was fine to watch when I had 600 episodes to marathon so I could skip 15min of an episode where nothing happens but now it gets a pain to watch.

I wish they would just release a 20+ filler arc and then just make a good well paced, entertaining and interesting cannon arc. Never thought I would like to watch fillers lol..

I've tolerated a helluva lot from Toei. I mean, the episodes tend to be great even though they're dragged out. I don't generally mind filler and bad pacing... but this episode made me MAD. Like, no other episode has EVER made me mad. Even the heavily padded episodes, the filler episodes, even the REALLY boring episodes... I've never given OP less than a 3/5 until this episode.
Like I said, I don't mind added scenes. The added scene with zoro and the purple guy *wink* *wink* was completely fine for me. What made me mad? THAT FUCKING ENDING. I even ran to the manga to check if I remembered incorrectly. They freaking ruined the entire episode by not putting that ending. Freaking idiots. Not fucking cool.

You know what made that chapter epic in the manga? THE ENDING. Fuck this shit. 1/5 Sorry OP. Truly sorry. But blame fucking Toei for destroying what could have been an epic episode. That ending was just THAT important.

That new OST was pretty good, and that Zoro and blind man's filler scene, it was pretty damn good and tense, but damn the waiter part was annoying with those sounds, and the gambling part, LOL it took few minutes ~.~ ANDDD DAT ENDING, LOL WTF, worst cliffhanger ever lol, it's not even a major cliffhanger, just some petty stuff -.-!

As for blind man's VA, hmm his voice isn't that clear, sometimes I can't really hear what he actually said.. The voice acting was pretty good though.

P.S. The pacing is bearable for me, even though it's a little slow.

P.S.2. Lol everyone was waiting for that scene and they didn't get it because of the troll ending, lol XD Good job Toei, by pissing off everyone, well.. almost everyone..

His voice is supposed to be like that. That's what he is. Oda used all his efforts to make the worst character ever. Blind, fat, senile voice, poor vocabulary, ugly(the ugliest) and a marine gggrrr.

Are you sure? o.O By the way he is awesome!! >After the latest chapter< And his design is a reference to a character named Zatoichi, the blind swordsman.

As a manga reader because of Punk Hazard arc, I really hope they don't drag it and give such a crappy end to an episode... They should have ended it with a reason to watch the next episode, a roulette wheel with nothing built up really isn't hyping me at all. I don't mind them adding filler parts for comedy or maybe tension build up like zoro/blind guy, but argh that whole gambling extra was just so pointless...

I think you're referring to the pace, I'm referring to the story, and I doubt they are being unfaithful.

Well, when they delay the entire focal point of a chapter/episode and make the entire episode legit pointless.... pacing really can ruin the story >.> The big reveal of this episode didn't happen so the designated point for when you were supposed to know something, was thrown off. Meaning, the timeline for what you need to know when is thrown off. Does this even make sense? Cause I feel like I'm over exaggerating and making something out of nothing... but i'm really pissed off nonetheless... and I don't even know if I should be pissed off or not >.>

A part where the the build up is pointless is still not good, and I doubt it'd make a good climax for the chapter/episode. If it's good, it'd still be good now, as in it should be good all the way, not just at some point.

Well, in this scenario the climax's build up would have been COMPLETELY appropriate. By delaying the climax by putting it in the next episode, the climax will legit be wasted unless they put the climax at the END of the next episode... which would NOT be worth it for anyone really >.<

Are you sure that just not your opinion only? Most people who already read the manga liked the guy and is far from worst character ever. Seems like you are blind hating here.
