| Well, this is going to be really fun. I can assure that Oda has done pretty good things so far on Wano, so I can´t wait to see them properly animated. The pacing is going to be an issue (as always) but on this episode was bearable imo. |
| Although it's not the new animation style, this ep. had a superior quality in the animation. The OSTs was also very amazing. It fitted the situation very well. Such a good made ep. haven't been shown for a long time. Somehow I believe this arc can really be good. Looking forward to the new animation style next week. It looks very promising. Funny to see that they made Nami use the "soru" sound which was used when CP9 used "soru" techniques. It was exactly the same sound. For the humor it was funny to see it was used for Nami punching Luffy. :P |

And here is the original inspiration for that image: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai#/media/File:Great_Wave_off_Kanagawa2.jpg And, if you are wondering where that octopus design came from... (NSFW, but it is famous Great Art...) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hokusai#/media/File:Tako_to_ama_retouched.jpg |
| Amazing. The whole vibe I already get is beyond words. A lot of funny scenes this time. Nami like always kicked Sanjis and Brooks ass :D Damn what are those giant carps and also that octopus on the Sunny? :o Pls somebody tell me I didn't halucinate but Nami used Soru when Luffy didn't let go of the carps right? Wano seems like it's a pretty dangerous place. They were definitely right about that it's hard to get there. I think I will like Wano a lot and I'm glad we and of course Luffy finally made it there. Also to see finally the other straw hats again next week is such a hype for me :) |
 |
| Finally an episode I don’t have to skip through, artwork was really well fitting and the Japanese aesthetic wasn’t to over the top. 4/5 |

| Luffy’s group discovered that many of their friends are in Levely representing their kingdoms. They finally arrived to Wano Sea, Nami remembered that Kin’emon told her that the sea always has bad weather, an octopus climbed into the ship and a lot of carps navigated with them through the sea, they got to a waterfall and Luffy used the carps to carry his ship, in the top there was a whirlpool and the ship got drawn. It looks like Wano is gonna have a completely different art style, and I like it, after all, Wano is gonna be a big reference to feudal Japan and its traditions, the ost changed too, it was a good episode, I laughed a bit with Chopper. |
 |
| Finally it's worth to watch one piece again, the wano arc animation and art style looks really good this time. |

| Finally reaching the much-anticipated Wano arc! The art quality looks set to increase for sure! |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Finally One Piece feels like One Piece again. Adventure, fun, and crazy things happening! |
| I don't typically read manga so if I get anything right please don't tell me. |
| This episode felt nostalgic, like classic one piece im hyped for wano arc |
 |
| Damn, all the trouble they have to go through to enter Wano but at least, finally they're in! After all these years! No more flashbacks right? The new arc starts next episode finally. |
 |
| Just wondering @Manga readers: the Reverie "arc" is done? We won't be getting scenes from the negotiations and stuff? (spoiler free answer pls) thank you! |

You can say that the Reverie Part 1 of the arc is finished yes. But the story of one piece will be moving concurrently with Wano and Reverie's events. So there is more to come. Eicheiro Oda of One piece has mentioned that one piece will return to reverie and that a major event will take place there. Also in one of the new Shonen Jump Cover pages, it was shown that Wano and Reverie are split between side by side representing that this arc will be divided between events happening at Reverie and events happening on Wano. So anime only watchers are going to be on for a wild ride pretty soon. There is other stuff that was teased concerning some previous arcs foreshadowing that will now play a role soon, but I wan't to keep that spoiler free here. |

| Strong introduction to Wano, and some heartfelt crew antics at the start. Chopper cutting out Doctorine's picture was my favorite moment of his in awhile. It's always nice to remember a characters roots. It's also funny to have another character as insane and fearless and adventure loving as Luffy in Carrot. There has always been the question of whether Nami can use Haki, I assume she can because she hurts Luffy, although I assume it's small and innate. Now she used shave?! Nami is going to be a Haki and six powers goddess. Lastly, I ignorantly said that the shadowy figure on the throne was one of the final true mysterious forces at work, but outside of another admiral and warlord if I recall which are smaller parts of understood parties, we have ALL of Wano. Either way I've missed my boys, the Samurai are my man's. ;_; |
| Crazy how long I've put One Piece (anime) on hold, Since June 2019, that's 1.5 years ago! But now I got 70 eps to watch! Hell yeah! Considering how I just returned. How perfect it is for there to be a mini-recap near the beginning of the ep along with half of the Strawhat crews finally making their way to enter Wano for the rest of the ep. Thanks to past me for planning this out. I missed the crews' antics and comedic scenes, their struggle to enter Wano really put a smile on my face. The OST in this ep is wonderful, it's only appropriate that they have oriental Japanese OST played throughout Wano arc and this is only the beginning, besides that, this is the last time we get to see this art style, One Piece's anime art style has changed various times throughout the series but from what I've seen, the next ep's art style will reign supreme from here on out. Wano kuni no shuppatsu! |
  |
| I love the OST in this episode. Also, the art shift is awesome too, it feels like I'm watching an animated ukiyo-e painting. |
| How did Luffy not notice the octopus has he turns his head around in response to Brook? xD The water current design resembles to the Japanese art design back in Japans isolation period ! AND WHAT THE HECK?!!? Nami surprised with her mouth opened showing shark teeths??!! xDD That is hilarious ! And it was a giant Koi that leaped out! This just an amazing entrance and introduction to Wano Kuni at a Japanese style ! By far the best entrance ! While adding the Gomu Gomu no Bazooka just makes it even better! Carrot isn't even afraid too! |
| August 6th 2023: Biggest upset ever, deception, selfishness, or scammed, manipulated. Heavy damage costs, and more. Days since: 15 Last updated: 8/21/2023 One Piece Episode 1041 & 1042 & 1047 & 1048 & 95.75%/1049 & 1053 were a mistake and Uta brought the salvation -AhriTheS3xyFox |
| So... they finally entered Japan in One Piece world. Nice, Nami just teleported to hit Luffy. LMAO |
 |
| Reached Wano Kuni now the ost was too great this ep |
| The moment they entered Wano's waters, the whole sea ended up looking like the Great Wave Off Kanegawa. With that in mind, it's a relief that things didn't turn out like The Dream of the Fisherman's Wife when that octopus got onboard behind Carrot. It's funny that a lot of the Straw Hat Crew's most traumatizing moments occur right before they've arrived at their next destination. It's been like that since the Knock-Up Stream in Skypeia and I find it really funny that it's still as terrifying now. There's no doubt that they've went all out with the traditional Japanese soundtrack and it looks like there's going to be a magnificent overhaul in the art starting at the next episode! |
 |
| Finally!!! I reached the land of Wano arc. This was a fun adventure! I'm glad I took this spring break to catch up ๐ฎ๐จ I love how Oda uses Japanese art style waves! I also love the Japanese sound effects! And the art style seems to have slightly changed for the next and upcoming episodes, love it! |
| "No matter how hard things get, only use your strength to protect" - Mitsuya Takashi |
| From Reverse Mountain & Skypiea to Fish-Man Island & the New World, the grand entrances into these incredible places never ceases to astound. Keeping Wano largely veiled in mystery for nearly 900 episodes made this adventure into unknown all the more exciting. I can't wait to see what this land of the Rising Sun has in store! |
 |
| That was fun going up the water fall some of the scenes had a cool animation change Sanji and chopper cutting up the news paper was really funny and for a second Nami used shave you can even hear the sound affect when she was telling Luffy to leave the fish alone |
 |
| holy shit nothing happened for 15 fucking minutes. Not one single interesting thing happened. "oh no we're being chased by koi" i seriously don't fucking care. get to the plot and reverie for the love of christ. i seriously don't know how this studio still gets work after this god damned travesty. |
 |
| finally it's wano !!! the new artstyle,the osts,the animation...everything was perfect can't wait for luffy and zoro to meet each other |
| Let's go Wano Kuni!! Love the Japanese style OST already. I'm so excited for Wano Kuni Arc, way before i even start watching One Piece. I heard so many great things about it. |
 |
| the art style accompanying wano arc is really promising |
| The artsyle shift is still jarring, even if you know about if beforehand. That said, commenting here after seeing the succeeding episode, my initial thoughts are that the new style fits well if the scene is bright and/or saturated. Seeing this style applied to the Fish-Man Island arc, I honestly preferred the original. Not the case for Wano though, this shit hype at the moment. |
| An admin's dickhead Soul banned me from MAL t('v't) |
| Fun episode to start the arc. Lot of reverse mountains and Skypeia vibes. Love the music and vibe of Wano so far and I’ve not even seen the land yet. Really just waiting for the goat Zoro, my bae Robin, and the two bros Usopp and franky to appear. I miss those 4 so much (especially Robin and Zoro) |
