And now we are deep in the best part of this arc.
One Piece got all mecha on us.As if Oda didn't have enough merchandise to make money off of.
LOL at Nami & Robin's faces in the presence of epic Franky coolness.They were like,"......-_-.....".It must be a girl thing.

Oh & Space Brothers is still the best anime ever,in my opinion.Even when competing with Attack on Titan.

LUFFY FKING-EPIC-BOSS-MODE KICK.
I've wait for this episode with literally looking at clock every minute.And well, waiting paid me with an amazing price.Though things could be a little bit faster.Only a little :D
So many hilarious moments too xD.

5/5 ending was WOW.I didnt expect this ship to be such a giant.
Another week...how i hate this >_>

If we would have seen it, the only time that I can think of that we could have seen a "north pole" was the mini arc (possibly filler? I havn't read the manga) with the Phoenix Pirates and the bounty hunting family.... did we see a kraken then? it's been so long

The series seems to be getting way too slow now imo. In 23 minutes they only covered 1 chapter. The flashbacks are really unnecessary. I think they should be at least covering 2 chapters per episode. At this rate the anime is going to be close to the number of manga chapters in episodes. I was expecting more with the extra week to make this.

A pretty decent episode - I especially enjoyed Luffy kicking Hody Jones in the face at the end. On that note, though, Hody is continuing to fail at being an intimidating opponent. His track record so far is being cut up by Zoro and being tossed around like a rag doll by Luffy. This is the first villain, that I can remember, who has taken this much punishment prior to their main fight with the Straw Hat crew. Oh well, I guess it goes to show you that taking drugs doesn't get you anywhere.

So I was one of those few people who rolf'd at Franky's transformations? It was so hilariously lame, I couldn't help it! Also, Robin's and Nami's unimpressed faces. Luffy reactions are so annoying... I love him. ^^ Not to mention, Chopper's Horn Point..

But, yes, last two minutes - brilliant. Noah is in the house.

I agree. I haven't appreciated any of the One Piece fillers so far, except maybe the extra bits they added to the Davy Back Fight (before Water 7), so I'd rather they go at this pace.

It's time they started incorporating fillers instead of boring long drawn out episodes where nothing happens. Atleast you can skip filler episodes if you want to.

When you have bad inconsistent animation, long drawn out (snore-fest) unnecessary content and I don't know if this was actually canon but when a character nearly dies from a nosebleed because he was too aroused then something is seriously wrong. Take away these factors and One Piece would be amazing but as it stands it is pretty poor.

One Piece anime needs to be rebooted to be considered a great anime.

Snooze Fest. I knew that the transformation sequence was going to be long and that the franky fanboys were gana be more irritating.

3/5. They really need to do some episodes that use 2 chapters + fucking animate the cover stories.

Enjoyable episode, Franky amuses me as does the reaction of most of the Straw Hat crew to his new creations. The robot transformation took a little too long but it had me laughing when Franky's awesome shoulder cannons for the robot were him just stepping outside and shooting the Fish pirates.

The only thing I didn't like was the Kraken getting scared of Hordy. Come on, the Straw Hats have creamed the Fish Men pirates, Hordy's gotten smashed into paste once or twice. At this point why would be scared of him? Just seemed silly.

Btw, I've small question for manga readers, since I catched up with OP anime last week. How long this arc is going to last? And I wonder if the next arc is better than current one?

This arc has quite a ways to go. Probably most of this year. Next arc has been better imo. Has had a quite a few great moments so far and seems that some of those moments will be leading into some really awesome stuff in the future.

For the rest of the year,should end about January.

The next arc is 100x better than this one.While this current arc suffered from Oda unnecessarily dragging it out (in the anime,it's worst :/ & the main flaw of this arc),Sanji's nosebleeding plot point >_> & drugs popping villains.The next one is the best arc since the timeskip (so far) with every chapter being either decent,good or god damn AWESOME.It suffers from literary NOTHING.
Don't get me wrong,Fishman Island have it's moments but compared to the next arc,DAMN!!!Fishman Island is nothing.

Really? she's one of most useful Strawhats.Without navigator like her, whole crew would be in deep shit + as someone said, watch episode 553 ._.

Finally watched it. Was about what i expected so with better pacing and animation it could have been better. Loved Franky Shogun in both the manga and here. Nami's expression through the entire thing made me laugh as well



Also not sure how anyone can call Nami useless. She is no powerhouse fighter by any means but she wins her fights and she is quite important as the navigator.

Yeah,I always though it was kind of odd too,but it wasn't that important in the end so I just treated it like a normal joke.

It reminds me of Kulilin winning a fight because he doesn'thave a nose on the early Dragon Ball(Not comparing anything)

About the episode,it was pretty good,I really like Chopper's new transformations and Franky's coolness(even if that ended up being half the episode).And of course,Luffy fighting for Surume in the end.
