Is that supposed to be Ace's face in the corner or am I mixing it up with someone else?

Yes. Boa, Ace, Luffy in a new outfit, 2 new characters (supposedly), and Rayleigh.

They all do. It's definitely not drawn by Oda.
Boa's waist area shouldn't have that bend. Messes with perspective.

That Luffy pose with all his damage looks like it should be pre-time skip. He's all happy after the two years.
the special is pre time skip.
Toonami cut a promo for the Enies Lobby arc (starting next week).
Hell yeah.
Oh, I forgot to link tonight's episode. You know to where find it...

I don't think Sanji has much of a chance, maybe if he teams up with "Tra-guy".
We've got Thriller Bark voices!
Of course, we already know Brook is Ian Sinclair.

Stuff actually happened this episode!

Episode spoiler :
Sanji got owned, didn't do any damage, Joker did acknowledge his strength at least

yeah, not really a clash when Joker is so much more powerful :/
Actually, that was kinda weird. Sanji was able to fight against pre-beefed up Vergo who is said to be one of the most capable Busoshoku Haki users. But Sanji using stronger attacks on Doflamingo didn't do anything at all...
I don't know... I just didn't see Doflamingo as such an extremely strong hand-to-hand fighter. Would have made more sense if he beat Sanji by surprising him with his devil fruit after struggling at least a bit from his attacks.
Episode was pretty epic though!

Yeah they made Joker seem really overpowered, would of liked Sanji to do at least a little damage to him. Maybe Joker's more powerful than I thought?
Kinda sucks that Law has just used the Straw Hats already though.
Here's some interesting news.
Crunchyroll has managed to get the rights to the 16th opening Hands Up and put it on the right episodes (591-628). In case you forgott, when those episodes aired they couldn't get the rights and had to air We Go instead (making it last waaaay longer than it already was).
Hopefully this means the DVD will have that opening.

When it comes out in like 15 years.

You know, why do we complain about the pacing and animation? We don't matter. It's still a huge ratings hit in Japan, and as long as kids still watch it, Toei will continue to do a shitty job with it.

I'm guessing this episode is kind of crap

I'm considering getting back into OP. I stopped in the manga during the Fisherman Saga because I found it was too heavy-handed. I think the Return to Sabaody Arc had just started in the anime.
After watching the HxH reboot, I have very little patience for filler or stretching out plot. The year plus filler in Naruto killed my interest (which was a blessing in disguise). The Skypiea arc from my memory was the worst at stretching out manga chapters. I really wish Japan would get over having to have a new episode every week. How many weeks a year is an episode not released? Golden Week and ...?

It was okay. I'm mostly just looking through the comments that are constantly angry and constantly calling every new episode crap. They can complain all they want, but Toei won't change a thing unless ratings go down (which they aren't).

That's why I'm telling all of y'all to read the manga. The pacing right now is insane. So much stuff going on at once at a rapid pace.
The problem is that it also feels like nothing is happening since so many things are happening at once, any single chapter can only advance a few of those things by a tiny bit.
LonelyGreyWolf
Banned
No way. I feel like there's tons of progression happening.
That simply isn't true. Not a single one of the many, many things happening has finished or is even close to finishing.
I am. I post in the manga thread all the time.
Guess I'm one of the few people who can watch and read One Piece and like both, heck I don't even mind the recaps at the beginning of each episode because I usually sing along with the song and just kinda memorize the lines just having fun 
Though I will say I did notice some animation weirdness with the Law vs Flamingo fight.

Because they are long, epic stories? Not everything finishes after ten chapters.
No, because Oda thinks he needs to attend to all of them in a single chapter, instead of dedicating chapters to one thing.

That wouldn't even make sense from a story-telling point of view.
Well if people still continue to watch that blurry ass 360p choppy giant water mark in the corner funimation stream then they clearly don't care about quality.
Anime fans aren't a really good judge of animation anyways I've always notice that the more amazing the animation the more complaints about the animation being bad would occur.
For example the return of naohiro shintani sparked quite lot complaints dispite being an amazing animator
Take for example this very page a few comments above me didn't like/found it weird the sakuga cut we had in this weeks episode,
A lot the time it's the best cuts of animation are the ones that sets off fans to complain.

What is the point of watching this anime anymore. As a huge fan of the first half of the anime (up to 500 ish episodes or so) this anime has become absolute dog shit. Both in the pacing and the animation which are the only thing that matter when it's not an original story.
I can't wait 20 years for the remake with better pacing and Hopefully a better animation studio as well like bones or madhouse. But 20 years is so so far away

For pacing, I recommend looking up the "One Pace" project. It edits down the episodes to a 2-3 chapter pace rather than the usual 1:1.
I'm probably going to make a thread but Funimation is doing a big box sets for One Piece.
Box Set 1 covers Ep 1-103- http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MQ2X7UU/?tag=neogaf0e-20
Box Set 2 covers Ep 104- 205 http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00MQ2XBB0/?tag=neogaf0e-20

No witty comment, but here's a cool video. Kirbopher (the animator/voice actor) has a side series called "Did You Know Voice Acting" and made a 12 minute episode all about One Piece.
It goes over the history of the dubs, and points out the voices shared between Dragon Ball and One Piece (both Japanese and English).

Don't mind the funimation dub or sub job but man why the hell is his name Zolo on the cover?

20 years is but just a drop in a Ocean of despair
With Oda's more frequent breaks this was bound to happen. It is a shame since the manga REALLY takes off around this time if they had 1 to 1 pacing.
