lol...like the slow motion entering with dramatic music.

finally Nami and Sanji switch back

time to rescue the kids and kidnap Cesare
(but in Luffy case, beat him up)

Zorro, always so serious, telling Luffy to take this serious because
its the New World and he can't afford to lose

This episode was a little upsetting because we didnt get to cover much information as the manga chapter covered. Like not even half
The only thing that happened the entire episode was Strawhats and G5 survive

They finally started looking for R-66 after 20 mins of the show. Seriously (facepalm)
And all the stills and slow motion scenes. Totally unnecessary (facepalm)

2/5

Edited: I was wrong about the episode not covering the information from the manga chapter. I still didnt enjoy it much

the f*** you talking about? its exactly the same amount as the chapter go read it again lol

edit: i was wrong - they showed more, the scene of caesar, vergo, and monet realizing they escaped is part of next chapter.

there was some pretty slow animation scenes at the beginning
i didn't mind the animation for the smoke for the outside/mountain scene though, it was pretty interesting and worked well imo. the colors were great.
ufo was weird but whatever.
the only thing that bothered me was the g-5 marines spent all that time hitting the wall with swords, fists, and bazookas not making a scratch, and within seconds of realizing the gas is going to come in again after being sliced open, they pick it up(ok thats fine), and then HAMMER PATCH IT? small detail but what the hell

and then they're dumb enough to fight against the guys who sliced through that door like it was nothing. they are dumb but still =.=

Ok you are right. I just looked back at the chapter. Maybe I didnt enjoy it because of how slow paced it felt. I havent seen many episodes like that in one piece

yeah the content in chapters has been varying which can make it hard for the studio
theyre at a 1 chapter an episode pace at the moment but if all they have is a page like



then there's not much they can do but make it look pretty.

Get used to not seeing Franky. Let's put it this way, in the anime you got a lot more information about what Franky was doing. In the manga he just vanished.

He won't be back for a long while and that's all I'll say. As for Chopper, you will see.

Did anyone feel like this episode was a little short? It kinda flew by for me. More importantly, where are Franky and Chopper? I'm assuming Chopper is probably hiding out somewhere but why didn't we see any of Franky? I thought that was a little strange...

Also, did anyone else mistake Robin for Boa Hancock a couple times? I think it's the coat she's wearing... makes her look quite similar. Anyway, I'm curious as to what Luffy told her. Good to see Zoro acting like a vice captain and it seems like Luffy has gotten more serious, too. Gomu Gomu No UFO lasted for way longer than I thought it would though, lol.

I'm sure there's still a lot remaining to this arc but I'm hoping it goes by fast. The sooner I don't have to listen to Caesar's god awful cackle anymore, the better.

We are talking about a show, where people can build a small bridge in mere seconds (Franky in TB arc). Same old One Piece, still enjoyable though

The pace is a little slow, but if I am watching this in bundle, I think it'll be more enjoyable.

I rather get a 20 episode post arc filler if it means better pacing with manga content. I'll take better pacing if it means some filler then no filler and horrible pacing.

I wonder if it's mainly the manga readers complaining ? I think maybe if they are waiting for the anime to get to plot points in the manga the pace could be frustrating. I don't know what's coming so I don't have that expectation and I actually enjoyed this episode. It reminds me more of classic One Piece.

Yes a large part of the complaints come from the manga readers as they generally are for any adaptation.

Let's separate ourselves from manga readers and anime-only watchers and ask ourselves if that ~4 minute slow motion pan across the island was necessary or if flashbacks are necessary.
Most of us would probably say they aren't.

Flashbacks are nice and all but when you're actually flashing back several dozen episodes, not like what happened 2 episodes ago.

I'm an anime only watcher and this arc has been painfully slow and repetitive at times. The last 2 episodes haven't been as bad though.

Zoro <3 he's so awesome, and he's right, they're taking the new world too lightly.
So that's the move that Luffy uses in the opening.

yeah there's definitely a lot of manga readers who complain, but there is truth in the matter of how little progress is made in certain episodes - this one for example.

it would be nice for some filler episodes if it meant speeding up the pace of the chapters/episode - i didn't particularly hate any of the few fillers in one piece, but it would require a full arc to get the people on this forum what they want, which costs money and time - thinking of a story, creating animations, settings, characters from scratch, etc.

regardless, i still feel people would complain for the same reasons even if these episodes contained 2 chapters, some(not all) just want to get to the main fights of the arc.

The episode was ok. But I agree about the pacing. Half the episode was spent on the poison gas >.<. Hopefully next week will have some action.

Almost stopping watching, until it gets like 100 episodes fresh to watch. Basically, there was two minutes of plot, all the rest was the gas guy laughing hes ass off, the poison gas advancing, and some stupid talks (like OOOOH SANJI I WASNT USING THIS COAT YOU PERVEEEEERT)...

What have you done to my One Piece, [insert here the name of the company that is producing dat shit]? This even looks like what Jagex did to Ace of Spades and Runescape.

I thought pacing would pick up this week with it actually looking like it is going somewhere. Guess not. I am hoping that with what looks like the action beginning next episode that it will start moving fast.

Anyways I am up for filler as I don't want a main arc to have to suffer from slow pacing and plus One Piece fillers aren't half bad.

i'm glad im not alone on this one. ive been lurking in MAL ever since and was compelled to register just to comment on this one. i was hoping to see some animation again after being on manga for quite a while. (I started with the anime though.)

I get that the pace need some compromise since the manga is right around the corner. but c'mon TOEI. if there's nothing better to do than prolonging a scenery, at least put some effort on the art and make it look sexy. the cage suddenly became engulfed with snow (which wasnt the case in ep 603) and was put right in the middle of the screen, and random chains were obviously cropped to create lame layering. the gas looks pasted over as well.

also, whoever is doing the characters on the current episodes is doing a mediocre job (if not awful). just look at how smoker changed.

This just makes me want to watch a filler more than canon.
