They are in the manga as far as I can remember, but to tell Nami and Paulie the train is gone and to bring the meat for Nami to give to Luffy, Chopper, and Zoro...but mostly Luffy.

oh, so they just get more scenes in the anime

 

[grandjedi6]

Maybe it was funny in Japanese.

Nah. Toei just loves taking bit characters and stretching them out for episodes in filler "humor" scenes.

 

[BassForever]

Oh you think THIS pacing is slow?
It gets worse. A lot worse.

...And yet it's still faster than Shippuden.

That's because one chapter of One Piece is over flowing with content

You need 2.5 chapters of Naruto to match that or 5 Bleach chapters

 

[Shard]

Oh, we got that one bit of filler I am dreading the 5 week recap from the deepest hells.

 

[lazybones18]

Save your strength for Bleach instead!

stop giving bad advice!

 

[Seda]

AoT is really hilarious when it's trying hard to be serious

basically

 

[Tenumi]

Save your strength for Bleach instead!

No way am I dropping Bleach with 20 episodes to go.

Also Watchdogs makes me sad and sick. Boo.

 

[ASSauLTxMasTER]

There should be a new One Piece ED tonight, right?

 

[Dr.Palutena]

couldn't even pay to show a whole sentence or review score?

 

[daveo42]

That's one of the ways they do pad out some of the episodes along with extra long recaps and openings.

 

[Man God]

They have funny voices in the original and I love them inventing the Paulie love triangle.

 

[Shard]

Yet Attack on Titan will fucking depress you with its unrelenting pessimism.

 

[BatDan]

oh, so they just get more scenes in the anime

yeah...
Toei tends to use characters for comic relief a lot.
The manga audience and the anime audience are actually very different over there.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

There should be a new One Piece ED tonight, right?

Yep. The second-to-last ending theme.

 

[MikeBreezy92]

A Boondocks episode looking good....color me surprised...

 

[Schadenfreude]

Man, that VA does a good job at speaking like she's drunk.

There should be a new One Piece ED tonight, right?

But we just got a new one a few weeks ago.

 

[BassForever]

Origin of her drinking problem there

 

[daveo42]

yeah...

This I didn't know actually. Is the anime skewed to a younger audience?

 

[Zonic]

Well, we learn why grannie is always drunk.

THANKS, FRANKY.

 

[Man God]

stop giving bad advice!

We all need to save our strength for SAO II.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Kokoro...:__;

 

[SparksterMeta0]

Origin of her drinking problem there

Too bad W7 doesn't have AA.

 

[Shard]

One Piece tended to switch out its EDs pretty damn quick.

 

[thefatness16]

Is it like that in the manga?

No. After 749 chapters, one of the things consistently praised about One Piece is the amount of content packed in 20 or so pages, especially when compared to other weekly shonen.

 

[SykoTech]

A Boondocks episode looking good....color me surprised...

Yeah, that preview looked pretty nice. More so than the previous ones anyway.

 

[BatDan]

Man, that VA does a good job at speaking like she's drunk.



But we just got a new one a few weeks ago.

It helps that her voice actress is actually an old lady (74 according to Wikipedia)

 

[UltraGunner]

In a cave!

 

[BassForever]

yeah...

Between both groups is 90% of Japan's population though

 

[daveo42]

We all need to save our strength for SAO II.

Hopefully we can avoid that abomination by nuking it from orbit or something.

 

[Amikami]

Must be hard rebuilding your own mangled broken body.

 

[Man God]

One Piece tended to switch out its EDs pretty damn quick.

Not at first it didn't...then they got to the Grand Line...

 

[Schadenfreude]

Iceburg still busting Franky's balls.

 

[Dr.Palutena]

fuck Robert Freeman still though.

 

[Crash Station]

This I didn't know actually. Is the anime skewed to a younger audience?

It's a Saturday morning cartoon, so I would say so. The anime is pretty damn censored at this point compared to the manga.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Iceberg still holding that grudge.

 

[UltraGunner]

fuck Robert Freeman still though.

.

 

[Shard]

Iceburg pretty much had Franky dead to rights there.

 

[grandjedi6]

This I didn't know actually. Is the anime skewed to a younger audience?

Manga = Everyone reads it

Anime = Sunday morning cartoon for 5-10 year old Japanese boys

 

[SparksterMeta0]

A man of his word.

 

[BatDan]

It's a Saturday morning cartoon, so I would say so. The anime is pretty damn censored at this point compared to the manga.

Yeah.
It's still fairly bloody, but it can't get away with some of the more brutal scenes from the manga.

 

[B-Dubs]

Manga = Everyone reads it

Anime = Sunday morning cartoon for 5-10 year old Japanese boys

And by everyone he means EVERYONE

 

[Crocodile]

Wait so only four years have passed between this meeting between Franky and Iceburg and when Franky was hit by the Sea Train? Nah, it seems like much more time has/should have passed.

 

[Shard]

Yeah.
It's still fairly bloody, but it can't get away with some of the more brutal scenes from the manga.

Spoiler

Whitebeard comes to mind.

 

[BassForever]

Iceburg is so tsundere for Franky

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Iceberg really does care.

 

[MetatronM]

Icebro

 

[Amikami]

You brought the man to tears franky.

 

[Baroquemantic]

Ya know, One Piece is actually really good. It's no Bleach, but it is good. I just can't seem to find time to watch/read it.

 

[Takashi]

This is actually a nice moment

 

[Schadenfreude]

It's Aqua Laguna-ing.
