Who?
I loved Luffy's back story, but it wasn't the saddest.
Fun Fact-The way you pronounce Luffy is the same as pronouncing balloon in Hungarian.

Brook is WAY too low on that list!
I guess you cannot completely get rid of the localized names even after all the years.
Have to agree, I remember his back story being pretty sad.

I tear up every time I hear that damn song, even though it's meant as a celebratory tune. ):
Yeah, it's the only one besides Nico where I was pretty down in the dumps.
i think i still prefer the old chopper design over the newer one.Just finished the Chopper intro arc, absolutely loved it. Little dude is so adorable
Onto episode 93 tomorrow!
My list goes Brook > Robin > Chopper > Nami > the rest

Hi-five, that new moe Chopper look is not cool in my book.

WHY U HAVE NO HEART FOR OLD TOM?
I keep on rewatching One Piece movie 6. It truly is the best out of all the movies, so good. The art, animation, plot are all as fantastic as an actual OP mini- arc.
Which reminds me, how does Impel Down look animated? I only read the manga so I'm not sure if they did my man Magellan justice.

Some of the best animated ish in the damn series. Why you sleeping on it?!
Except Impel Down is where you feel the 1 chapter pre episode pacing the most. An arc that should feel frantic ends up as a sluggish bore.
Ok so I watched the first five episodes and I love it, the main characters are very likeable, Luffy is very honest (poor Coby lol) , Zaro is awesome, I'm just starting to get to know Nami and she's cool so far, she's great at tricking/screwing people over for sure lol.
The son of Morgan would drive me crazy if he was a real person lol.
Something I didn't get was in episode 5 were Nami lit the cannon and the clown Buggy just stood their practically crying not to be shot even though they had a chance to run confused me, but I guess some pirates never think.
I'm actually very happy now that it's a huge series, I am very interested into seeing if the story of getting to the Great Line expands much more and their is more to it that meets the eye.
Anyway, I'd say I'm getting addicted (or I'm at) to watching it, I'll speculating if I should watch episode 6 now or wait a little bit lol.

5 episodes in and you're addicted already? The rest will be a hell of a ride then.
Probably my favorite flashback of OP. Not the saddest but the best.
Trust me, when I watch a show I like I'll get addicted, no matter what episode it's at lol.

don't know if it was posted already but has anyone seen this? Apparently concepts for the original crew by oda. Lol at chopper
"In One Piece Green: Secret Pieces an early concept of the crew was revealed. No changes in particular are seen in Luffy, Zoro, and Nami aside from a few small ones; such as Zoro carrying a bottle of sake on his waist and wearing a dark shirt rather than a white one, and Nami's skirt being a little wavy rather than having straight cuts.
Sanji was supposed to have a somewhat thicker goatee from the beginning.
Usopp was supposed to be a vice captain/sniper that resembled his father more.
Chopper was supposed to be more of a "realistic-looking reindeer".
Franky replaced the original midget carpenter.
Robin replaced a man that was supposed to be more of a plant lover than a history lover.
Brook also was supposed to have a fancy hat instead of his trademark afro."

I'm at episode 93 in just a week. Someone help me.
My weekend activities are confirmed. Gear second just doesn't loo right not animated. And I spoiled myself with a gif of
Luffy punching Blackbeard for what he did to Ace

The One Piece data books are always fun to read (at least the translations).
My favorite piece of "what could have been" is Sanji's original name. He would have been called Naruto, but the Jump editors told Oda not to as they were still optioning that series with the Ninja. That does explain Sanji's curly eyebrows.

Pretty awesome arc, it was that arc that got me into One Piece anime and got me to follow it weekly for so long, that and Marineford, easily One Piece at its best.
I'm on episode 10 now, I don't know if I should watch this today or tomorrow lol.
I wouldn't be shocked.

I haven't really thought much about the ending because I've watched One Piece for so many years it feels like it should never end.

Damn, I could imagine what it's like to be in those shoes. Very awesome
In sales news: the latest One Piece volume got #1... in America.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2013-03-22/new-york-times-manga-best-seller-list-march-10-16
For once, the #1 manga wasn't Naruto, Bleach or Sailor Moon, but One Piece. Wooo.

I don't want to turn this thread into that conversation but how is Naruto and the like doing in America? I don't see as much about it anymore. I really hope the push for OP pays off here.
I hate it when he is in his standard form but he looks MUCH better now in all his 'points'
Comic book sales in general are pretty weak, even with the movie boom.
I think Naruto has gone down since Shippuden is no longer on US TV, Disney XD cancelled it when they felt it was getting too violent.
Meaning that for a period of time, Bleach was the only member of the Big 3 one US airwaves. At least until Toonami came back and the first Naruto anime returned to it, and we have One Piece coming soon.
I helped in that #1 spot. Thanks you based Amazon and your $5 off. Theyve already marked down One Piece Volume 67 as well if anyone here wants to preorder it.

About time! I think this is the first time it's ever placed #1, no? Then again, Viz releases new Naruto and One Piece apart now, so maybe that's why One Piece is placing higher than previous positions. Still fantastic news!
I'll likely pre-order volume 67 soon after I buy vols 31&32 on Amazon (curse you B&N shelf yellowing!). Pretty darn close to filling in my first gap (currently have 1-30, 39-54, 61-66).

But it is its second week on the chart. Maybe if it debuted at #1...
Was so glad when Spandam got what was coming to him, and I didn't think I'd like Franky at first when I saw his character but he actually fits in quite well.
Water 7 arc was pretty good, plenty of interesting and funny characters, although I thing the little girl is a bit too fearless at times. I liked how everyone got new moves, although I would have liked to see how they got them or learned them in the first place, but still nice to see.
Luffy's father kinda was unexpected to me, for some reason I was thinking he would be the King of the Pirates, Roger. I'm sure they'll mention how they are related later (as I continue to watch). Also, the marines being the actual villain is a nice plot twist.
Anyways, i'm going to poof until I finish the next arc.
-edit-
Oh yeah, and the Usopp VS Luffy fight was actually pretty good, I'd like to see him fight like that more often.

Rather impressive episode that definitely enhances the source material. Seeing Room and such in action, having the voices on the characters when the switcheroo takes place and just the visuals for all the slicing made it more interesting than the manga. Cant wait to see things go down in 587

I think the "boob slide" might be the weirdest bit of filler they've ever done
Hell, this episode was full of tits with Sanji (in Nami's body) opening her coat and shaking them, and Smoker (as Tashigi) opening her shirt with plenty of close-ups. The animators must have been lonely that week.
