Pretty anti climatic episode this week. Greatly looking froward to next weeks episode though.

Meh, it was an ok setup, but I honestly skipped most of the Hordy flashback. Am I the only one who's starting to think that they're actively trying to avoid animating the (Manga spoiler:)

A KKK reference & I had a bunch of ads for the new "Lincoln" movie,fucking ironic as hell.

Anyway,it felt like a chore to watch this episode.Zoro was right,it wasn't enough to kill my boredom.

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

I hated all the meaningless climax that was built up on the previous episode with who Hordy actually is. And now we are given more flashbacks to further develop his character (which most people probably could care less about).

As always, only the last 5 minutes of the episode were decent. It was great to see Luffy's crew especially Zoro kicking ass.

They still are cutting corners all right.
But we are getting there. This arc (I hope) finishes soon enough.

I agree! Luffy's voice sounds so much more grownup when he gets serious, it's awesome. Also, it's been a long time since Zoro smiled (not his usual slasher smile)

While I do appreciate the way One Piece is backgrounded, I wish they would either cut something or extend the episodes. Out of 24 minutes the last episode lasted, 6 minutes was empty and I think they could have easily said what they now did in 1 episode instead of spreading it across 563/4 -_- Guess that is the price of no fillers, meh.

Maybe I should start saving One Piece and then watch the episodes in marathons.

I have a feeling they are going to stretch this lame arc all the way to new years. I mean we still haven't seen the climax fights + all the after arc party crap that they always do. I love One Piece and all but lately the anime has been very boring, starting with the Whitebeard War arc. Which I think was way longer than it had to be. Obviously it seems T.V. Tokyo wants to make each arc last a whole year even if it doesn't need to. All I hope is that they have the courtesy of not adding filler after this arc is over....This whole arc both in the manga/anime has felt like filler from the start. Lets get on with the next one which is actually pretty awesome.

I've never felt like this before everytime I watch One Piece, but they're now trying so hard to slow down the pace to prevent the anime to catch up with the manga, and this made the anime quality dropped drastically, and it was wasting the time of those who watch them. Even Zoro's "You can't even kill my boredom" isn't not as epic as the manga, the producer should really try harder, not that I do not appreciate it, but its really stainning the name of One Piece if this goes on. NO OFFENCE to others.
P.S. I am a huge One Piece fans, for both anime and manga

although the last few episodes weren't great, the next 2 episodes should be pretty amazing with the sh's annihilating the officers.

Personally, i can't wait to see zoro, brook and luffy's finishing moves.

Last week, Hordy begins swimming after Luffy. This week, Hordy almost finishes swimming after Luffy.

However, I remember a long time ago, there was a One Piece episode where they stretched out a ten-seconds scene to ten minutes. This show is never going to change, everything will be stretched out always until the anime is completed. It's just a bit more painful once you've caught up, because you can't just power through these long stretches of little substance anymore.

5 min 40 sec to get to the actual story, and then they drag out brain dead flashbacks...

There must be budget problems too - there were a lot of unanimated scenes to go with lots of repeats.

Fillers would be so much better. Going off the air for a season would be even better. Maybe just pretend that the Dead Fish Island arc didn't happen and come back in January 2013 with the New World.

I find it hard to look forward to the next episode nowadays...

Uhm...if you say you´d rather have fillers or breaks than watch this 1 chapter = 1 episode snail pace...why don´t you wait two or three weeks and the watch them as a whole?

For me that works perfectly. I watch OP only in 3 ep batches, that wayI look forward to it even more and it allways feels epic in some way.

I remember people complaining in the Alabasta arc about OP´s pace...and now you´re still not over it? It seems some of the OP fans out there are slower than the pacing itself.

I do the same as one_eyed_dragon. Just give it a few weeks in between watching and it will be much more enjoyable, I promise. I do this with a lot of shows, mostly because I hate cliffhangers. ;p

Episode always starts after 5:00 indeed, frikkin OP/Recap, man, I love One Piece, but this is just zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
