Ah, a nice episode to wrap up the Thriller Bark.

Few pieces of critical information we get too:
1.) Ace's condition
2.) Mention of Pirate Empress Hancock
3.) One that I totally forgot - the large shadows in the mist of the Florian Triangle. I really wonder what those are all about.
4.) Most importantly, mermaids don't wear panties. =P

Hopefully the fillers will be good.

Thanks gawd that Brook's back story is finally done.

Next episode's preview:

Plus - the girls are in swimsuits

Minus - Foxy is back

My suggestions for the fillers - move the series to a late night slot for a month or so and just give us fan service ... LOL

- when brook notices himself in the mirror, loooool. "WAAAAAAAAAH!!!!!" hahahahahaha

Whenever Brook starts talking about the panties, he reminds me of someone.....Ah, I remember now. The turtle hermit in the original Dragonball. damn that was lol. Son Goku notices a difference and takes off Bulmas panties and later on, Bulma hasn't noticed she's not wearing panties??? showing the turtle hermit EVERYTHING, Yoohohohohohohoho~

Man you have no idea what you are talking about. Filler in an anime is episodes NOT in the manga. Brooks past was in the manga. It may have been boring to you but that does not make it filler. Learn to use the word right.

Actually, a correction on that. Fillers are anything that aren't in the manga, or the light novels. Sometimes the manga misses an arc or two that were in the light novels (ie To Aru Majutsu no Index and the vampire arc).

But yes, boo to the Foxy filler.

Actually, yet another correction on that. Even if it's in the manga, it can still technically be filler. Like, if Oda were to make an entire chapter about the crew eating dinner with absolutely nothing of importance happening, and said chapter never being mentioned again, it would still be a filler even if it's in the manga. "Filler" is technically just... Useless stuff added to stall for time. You can have fillers in the manga, and anime-original scenes that actually progress the story are technically not fillers, like for example, the Rolling Pirates being introduced a few episodes before Luffy meets them, which estabilished the fact that there ARE other humans on the island, thus making their appearance later seem less random.

But Brook's past is not filler no matter how you look at it, seeing how it helped make him a much more 3-dimensional character.

As for the episode itself... I liked it. They did a great job wrapping up the arc, and the pacing and animation was good.

Actually I slightly disagree with you here ^^
Lets put it like this, Eiichiro Oda is the creator of One Piece, his will and intentions to create the the story of "One Piece" as a whole is put into every single page of the original manga released. That IS by definition the true, real and complete story of One Piece.

What it is that is portrayed on any a given page of the series, no matter how trivial, that is a part of the story of One Piece. Do you regard "even though I'm already bones yohoho", "show me your panties" and and all other purely funny and entertaining moments as fillers?

Just because it doesn't advance the plot doesn't mean its filler ^^

I would regard everything that is added in the anime but is not in manga (or the visual novels but that really doesn't matter in this case) as fillers while everything drawn and portrayed by Oda as not-fillers (Original).

Thats just what I think though, its an obscure topic which people in the end will have to find their own definition of. ^^
In any case "filler" is not something you just call an episode just because you didn't find it entertaining.

I just wanted to post a comment about this here arc ^^ I figured since this was the last ep in the arc it would not be alltogheter unfit to post my thoughts here.

I just want to express my deep rooted feeling of gratitude towards the people animating and directing the One Piece of today. Unlike how many other series cuts important stuff out(that are in the manga) and adds meaningless garbage the ones doing OP have been doing one hell of a job.

I personally feel in a lot of series "what the fuck is this its totaly ilogical/boring/pointless" Look at Bleach, FMA, Naruto, Law of Ueki etc (comparing to other shounen for relevance). They got all the manga material in and add some good comic relief that just feels soo well made and entertaining.

When just having a manga to work from movement, special attacks and lots of other things can get really weird if the animators dont do their jobb well. In this arc I feel as though the OP animating team have grown alot, its very well made and it "flows" in a way that very few manga based animes do.
Just wanted to post something to let my feelings out :P Because I'm so looking forward to more One Piece!
(Another thing to mention that really makes my appreciation for OP go up alot is the very nice and accurate subbs done på Vegard Aune and Sock Pain they're doing an amazing job thanks alot!)

I guess this means that I'll just wait until the next few episodes are released. I'm not much of a weekly follower of fillers.

Anyway, this episode was solid. The thriller bark arc has finally reached its end. Now Luffy's crew seems cooler than ever before. I can't wait to see more non-filler adventures now.

Well this is definitely going to be a memorable episode that i won't forget. Great way to end the "thriller bark" arc. The musician humming brooks Officially joins the straw hat crew. With that, there crew is complete. It is amazing how ODA thinks up of things like this from the start of the show and then finally reveals it 360 episodes later.

The whole story arc involving Laboon when the straw hats first entered the grand line. Crocus stated also that there was a pirate crew that was there. Now 300+ episodes later we finally discover the crew and everything ties from the Past to the present, such amazing writing oda. You truly are a god lol.

It was pretty depressing though to see the vivre card in flames. Luffy must be going through a great ordeal having to think about what is happening to his brother ace.

Also the first mention of hancock was pretty cool. Can't wait to see Fishman island.

There was some great comedy in this episode as well. The mention of mermaids not wearing panties lol man brooks is going to be an awesome crew member, i can tell.

Also , WTF were those 3 huge shadows overlooking the fogy mist. Those things were enormous. I wonder if there sea kings, but even sea kings i don't think are that large. Damn once again another mysterious cliff hanger, that probably won't be explained for some time.

All i have to say for the next episode is "NOT THE RETURN OF FOXY AGAIN" :(

Oh well, at least it will be a beach arc. There is sure to be some fanservice and some comedy bits with brooks and sanji im sure. I can see these guys fighting over each other in the future cause of there same perverted personality lol.

In any case "filler" is not something you just call an episode just because you didn't find it entertaining.



Exactly, why can't you guys understand the meaning of "filler" its probably because your so stuck on filler being horrible ALL the time. You never want to put any efort into watching "anime only" arcs if its not related to the manga. Which is think is really stupid. You should at least give it a shot. I have found some filler arcs in anime to especially good, one piece on the hand has some pretty great filler arcs. So im looking forward to the next "spa island" arc.

But in any case, its what this guys says. Filler is any material that is not from the original source or written by ODA. Anything that is unrelated to the manga it self is considered filler. There is no such thing as filler in a manga if its considered the original source material. Even if its a casual break in the story, ODA has written it for a reason. Its still part of the original source. You can't consider that filler. Now if you have a Novel, that is the original source and there was a manga that was adapted from that and an anime. Then the manga could be considered filler if its not written by the original author that wrote the Novel. And i can't believe i heard that brooks past was filler, i mean how dumb can you get lol. Before people start making ridiculous comments, learn the word and what it means.

Holy Jesus this arc is finally over.

Ever since the CP9 arc started, the pacing of this show became extremely horrible. Now I understand why One Piece has very few filler unlike Naruto and Bleach.

Brook, in my opinion, has the saddest past I've ever seen so far in One Piece. And no Nico Robin's past is nothing compared to his, when I watched her past I said to myself "lol..Saul's laugh is funny" but with Brook "holy shit... this guy had to endure all this?". And that scene where they were celebrating and were dying one after another... wow

Slow pace or not this arc was win imo, the only thing that really hurt it was the middles section.

As far as the Robin and Brook comparison, I think they both had it very bad. Think about it, Robin was betrayed by everyone she trusted before meeting the One Piece crew to the point that she was in fear of being abandoned by them as well. Of course, Brook did have to live 50 or so years on an abandoned ship with the skeletons of his dead crew mates, as well as having to avoid the sun light.

But, regardless, both back stories are pretty god damn tragic.

About, the upcoming filler. I don't give a shit, nothing does filler as well as OP imo and so I'm looking forward to it. Though I do hate Foxy.
