This, I approve of. Plus, I never knew Magellan was a vice warden 20 years ago.

Watching Buggy and the rest of the prisoners pee for a minute, no.

That was an interesting episode - we got a very different view of things. This is the first time that I felt bad for one of Luffy's opponents.

Wow that ep was amazing!! Hannyabal was kicking ass there for a while until luffy went gear second. It was sad to see him fight for what he believe in and lose though. But man the end was freaking awesome, i cant wait for the next one!!

I've come to the conclusion Impel Down isn't enjoyable enough not only for the poorly placed filler sections, but because I genuinely like Magellan and Hannyabal. They remind me more of Koby, where they actually believe in justice and want to uphold it. And in all fairness, I doubt even half the pirates running amok Impel Down right now are "noble" pirates like Luffy and his crew.

Well at least there isnt like 85 episodes of filler in a row like in some others. I can see where your coming from, i really feel for magellan and hannyabal, i do, but they are ignorant in believing all pirates are bad. I think ALL of the ones with luffy (Besides crocodile/ maybe Mr. 1) are noble and most or a lot of the ones with buggy are noble.

The best part of this episode is that someone had to come up with the idea that Buggy and the gang should just be peeing for, like, 5 minutes, and then someone hearing that had to go "Yes, that''s a great idea! Let's do that!"

Good episode 4/5

+ Hannyabal, for taking a huuuge beating and always standing up.
+ Blackbeard, for the first time in the anime, he appeared as an awesome villain.

- The peeing scene... For once I can agree that this filler thing was totally a waste of time, it wasn't even funny...

But overall a good episode. BUT I NEED MORE SADI-CHAN!!!

If they omit that,people might think where the heck they gone.i guess they must show them out unless they are dead.Or maybe it shouldn't be appear in the first place.(actually i like the filler,ain't wasting much time)
It seems the Sadi-chan's fight totally finish without knowing....well i guess that is all.

You're right, i just realized that. The series is becoming awesome because the enemy is awesome: Blackbeard, i can't have fun watching Luffy fighting magellan or hannybal because, even if they're strongs, they're not villans.

Speaking from an entirely manga perspective, this episode was...shit.

the fight with hannybal was supposed to be a fast paced "beat-em-up" as a minor obstacle to reach ace quicker, however in the past few episodes in the impel down arc, the animators have decided to add in their own elements, such as the okama six and now...flashbacks for hannybal?

i do not fully understand the animators background atm while writing this,but i intend to learn about it in the near future.
Since the isle of woman, the quality of one piece anime as a whole has went down by alot. The art quality has gone down, compared to sabondy, water7 or even thriller bark.
and i dont know if its a matter of getting used to it or not, but the fight scenes just dont pack as much punch as they used to.

which leads me to the main concern of this episode. near the end where luffy meets blackbeard and punches him in frustration and anger, the anime shows this through all the steps, gearing up, shouting it and finally punching it.
although this may be "breathtaking" for the anime only people, for the manga its a bitter dissappointment. its soo slow that in that few seconds i can get bored.
from my perspective...just buying more time to stretch out the anime. and a sorry as rip-off of the magellan punch

in the manga its portrayed as a quick sudden burst, that not even blackbeard can react to. no gears. no gum gum talk for the punch. nada.
blackbeard turns and sees luffy screaming at him, and about 0.2 seconds later a punch so hard it hits him against a wall.

thats breathtaking.

this leads me to my second concern, the pacing of the anime now. while this leads to a explosive cliffhanger, it doesn't deliver on the adrenaline action the manga does in my opinion. which is set up for the next episode...a week later....o there was a punch cliff hanger for the ending? i forgot its been a fucking week.

for the people that only watch the anime, i urge u to go read the manga and feel one piece for what it truly is. it pains me to know that soo many people out there interpret this garbage as oda's real work.

sorry for the rant, sorry if i offended anyone but this is what i truly feel.

^ You're a week late. People were complaining about most of that in the last episode thread. Go look there & see that you're not alone :P


Now onto the episode;

You did well Hannyabal!!
When reading the manga I only thought you were stupid and ugly, but your funny voice going along with your wish to be Chief Warden easily made you one of my favorite characters.

Well nice episode, if you exclude the Buggy scene. Like I said I don't mind them, but the peeing part was just retarded :/
I also liked the flashbacks, helps build emotion. I believe the Teach/Ace ones were in the manga as well. And the next episode should have some real good moments~!

Edit; I decided to go with a nicer choice of words. Because I'm nice.

I didn't know any of it was filler but I enjoyed the episode a hell of a lot. I'm surprised nobody has mentioned it yet but this, for some reason, is the best looking episode in the longest time. Something happened, and the lighting is different, the music is better placed and overall it was great.

Buggy stuff was actually kinda cool. It made me take some nice images... purely because of how shiny Buggy was. SHINY:
