First non-promotional filler arc since Ice Hunters 5 years ago. Hopefully it'll be closer to that in quality rather than the hideous promotional arcs. Bleh

Best part of the episode
Yeah that stare off took longer than it should have. Wasn't even a battle anyway really.
Caesar for nakama plz.
Regarding man-made fruits, I wonder if it's possible to make one that gives you the effects but without the downside of sinking in the water.
Also Momonosuke styling.
Filler arc incoming?
Well time to drop the anime for a while then. It doesn't even make sense, Law said they have to hurry. What happens? WELL let's shove in a filler arc.
Just do other specials or go on break.
The only fillers I would accept are ones where they show more of the timeskip (fight between Zoro and Mihawk, Robin meeting Dragon etc.) or stuff that was already on a coverstory like Enel on the moon

Yeah they just need to take a break. You dont want to sour the source material with so much big stuff coming up. I remember when Kubo had some shinigami's join Ichigo's school undercover. It was perfect for enormously good filler and the anime team glossed right over it.

I wish we could have some more alternative time line stuff. Similar to Boss Luffy. I'd love for more fun filler like that. Maybe see the Straw Hat's in school, or in a big city, or as ninjas, anything.

Well I am sure they are not CHOOSING to be waylaid by some evil gentleman and various sea vermin. Shit happens. I'm sure it's a long boat ride to Dressrosa, and in the manga it's just like [scene missing] oh they're there. From a sense-making standpoint, I don't mind filler arcs that take place during implied gaps of time like that at all.
It's certainly better than just interrupting an arc right in the middle and doing something else for 10 episodes.

They should just animate the Chopperman manga from Saikyou Jump.
I don't watch them, but yeah, it has been a while since they made a chopperman. I imagine they probably have a jidaigeki they could do as well.

This is what killed Bleach and the only reason it doesn't kill Naruto is that its 10x as popular

There are a lot of good non-Strawhats fighting for that spot.

This filler is going to have Kung Fu Dugongs. It can't fail.

Depends on if you consider jinbei a sh

yeah watching the episode again and I think the filler arc bad guy can be seen in a picture in one of the books momo was reading in the library. Monocle and all.
so I'm going though the One piece films (well the ones I can watch without many spoilers at least) and so far they have been what most anime/shonen films are....longer better budgeted episodes of the show. That's fine as I obviously enjoy the show ,although I will say they tend to do a lot of the things I don't like from the show (mainly focus on weak uninteresting characters and stuff) but whatever.
so it goes like this.
Movie 1 : skipped, copy I have was messed up.
Movie 2: pretty basic. a well animated long episode of the show..
Movie 3: skipped...sounded stupid.
Movie 4: Pretty solid.
Movie 5: wasted potential...kinda boring actually.
and then movie 6 happened.
holy shit, I need an adult. This shit gets dark and while One Piece isnt exactly child friendly all the time...there is some nightmare fuel in this shit. I even knew that it was a bit darker going in but fucking christ. Hosada must have been really really depressed when making this....
and yet...I really really enjoyed it. It definitely was a different take on everything (even if I do think some characters were a bit off in spots.
good shit.

I did this a while back. Unfortunately, I haven't seen Movie Z yet which I need to fix. However my impressions were basically this...
Movie 1 - Just feels like another anime episode. Pretty meh.
Movie 2 - I actually thought this was pretty good. Great showcase of Sanji in this film.
Movie 3 - Thought it was awful, plotless, and stupid.
Movie 4 - First movie that actually had some high level of production to it. Still to this day one of the best One Piece movies.
Movie 5 - Zoro's backstory being explored was interesting, but unfortunately I'm not a huge fan of the Saga character or really any of the story going on. The eventual showdown between the two was pretty cool.
Movie 6 - This was just awesome, through and through. had some really great cinematography. Animation was a bit sketchy, but it works for what it does. Till this day, I consider it to be my favorite movie of the bunch.
Movie 7 - This was a more comedy centric focused filmed. I'm ok with it, but I personally didn't care for it. Well-produced and had some good scenes, but nothing special.
Movie 8 - It's Alabasta. I've always found Alabasta to be one of the weaker arcs imo, but that's for a different time. Literally no interesting take on Alabasta which just sucks and makes this entire movie pointless.
Movie 9 - Drum Island is one of my favorite arcs, but I also feel like this was unnecessary, even though there are some differences. It's a good story, but also pointless. I also wasn't a huge fan of the animation.
Movie 10 - This is when One Piece movie production really got up there. Oda actually got involved with this one. The whole movie is, overall, of quality and fits right into the manga's lore already. I do not think it was better than Movie 6, but it was better produced all around so I really enjoyed this one too.
Movie 11 - Meh, just a short film.
Going to watch Movie 12...tonight.
Watch movie 4, 6, 10, and 12 (though I haven't seen this one, heard it's a must-watch). That's all you need.

I don't like 6 at all still it worth a watch along with 4 , 10 , 12 and maybe 5
10 and 12 worth it just for the animation alone since those is when OP movie budgets got much better and show in every way .

Hey, 2 has a lot of charm to it!
I agree with you, but I don't really consider it a must watch aka if there's any movies you SHOULD watch, it's those I listed.

Strong World and Film Z are great! They're written by Oda himself and while they're certainly not perfect I enjoyed them a lot. Hand Island no Bouken is okay. The Navigator's Tears and the Bonds of Friendship is basically Arlong's arc except with a lot of the bad cut out. The Straw Hat Chase short film is pretty cool -- that's the CG one, right? The story has a few dumb points but all in all it is a cool film.
As for the eight/nine films that came before these: meh. That one film with a big race was pretty cool, even if the "candy candy" fruit was dumb.

Does she? I know Zoro sees the similarity, but I don't think they can be same (different ages) or related. Maybe cousins.
The One Piece is actually a clone machine. Tashigi is just a clone of Kuina. At the end of the series they'll dig up Whitebeard's grave and create a whole Wholebeard army.
I thought it was ok as well. It certainly is better than FI and on par with Skypia. It doesn't help that Dressrosa comes along after it and just blows it away.

Movie 1 doesn't get enough love. That's the only one that actually feels like One Piece to me. It's not my favorite but the others do have that "anime movie" feel to them. The first one feels like something I'd see in the manga / anime.
Epic scene! made me tear up!

Filler was not bad so far, moves quite fast compared to the normal pacing haha
Cool to have a filler with Caesar&Law tagging along.
Also, nice callback with that Kung Fu Dugong from Alabasta. Actually I can't think of another filler arc in which an older character (even so insignificant as that one) showed up.
In other news, I was watching a documentary and I didn't know Germany has a real life sea train version

Yeah Cover arcs would be a better way to create fillers. Like Enel's story.. hell I have friends who only watched the anime and are bugging me if he is still alive and will come back

Rode the train there like 100 times already
I live in the north of Germany.Also to the question which movie you guys should see:
None, they are not from the source material and aren't canon. Don't poison your mind with dat shit.

huh, guess the anime finally answered that sea rabbit mystery Oda was avoiding answering. Follows the trend of Oda leaving things open ended and off-screen for the anime to embellish open. If wonder how long this filler arc is for if they planned that far ahead though...

What are you referencing? I don't remember a sea rabbit thing.
