Great episode this week. It seemed to have a much better pace than the last few episodes.

I did the same thing. Not that hard at all if you're on vacation or something. It helps a lot if you skip everything that's not the episode (Opening, Ending, Premise of the show, Recap) because it basically trims the episode down to like 15 or so minutes.
That's what they all say. Wait until it starts getting good though. You'll be marathon-ing it.harSon said:

Oh, and to follow up on a post in this thread a long time ago... my order (well, most of it) is here: http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showpost.php?p=20139844&postcount=333

That's because it is the first episode in a while that actually covered a full chapter from beginning to end. The last few episodes have messed up the pacing by either doing less than 1 chapter per episode or did half of one and half of another, messing up the manga's pacing.Easystride said:

It was at the point where they all got separated. BUT, I skipped all the filler arcs and like watervengeance said, I didn't bother to watch all the openings, endings, etc.
With that said, are any of the filler arcs worth watching? Even though this is One Piece we are talking about, if they are anything like the Naruto and Bleach filler arcs, then they aren't really that good, which is why I skipped them in the first place.
And holy shit @ Tim Curry. I always thought I'd seen Ivankov somewhere before this.

The G8 arc is awesome. It's the one that takes place immediately after fall down from Skypiea. Ocean's Dream is also good.
G8 is universally considered to be the best that filler has to offer. The arc right after Skypeia. 196 - 206.ocadman said:
Also, 207 - 219 is the Davy Back Fight and although half of it is filler, and the whole thing is pretty bad, half of it isn't filler. If you skipped it you can go over that.

Luffy going crazy at the end of the episode cracked me up. I don't remember him running diagonally in the manga :lol

I need to catch back up with the anime. I've only seen a few episodes in Impel Down. I knew it would happen also. Every time I catch up with the manga I have a hard time doing one episode a week. If I stop reading the manga, I'm always good with the episodes. :lol

Was there some new music in this episode? I didn't recognize the track playing towards the end of the episode.
Anyways, I'm lookin forward to the sixth voyage this week. The conclusion to the Alabastra arc is excellent; can't wait for Jaya as well.

I've just start watching OP up to about ep 17, should i look up the filler ep's and skip them or just watch all the way through?
Either way it's going to take months to catch up :lol

Ok at this point I'm not entirely sure what G8 is but I'm sure I'll find out
I'm enjoying it so far but sometimes the re-cap of the previous ep takes up half the next ep, that's not limited to OP though.

Himuro said:
Soro is the name of one of Helmeppo's dogs, apparently? :lol
Anyway, the gist of the Zoro problem is:
a. Zorro is public domain in the US, not necessarily elsewhere
b. Zorro Productions and Sony are nonetheless quite happy to claim trademarks and sue anyone in reach.
c. Even though they would have a good chance of winning a legal dispute, it would be exceedingly expensive to fight it in court.
d. OP has never been as successful as Naruto, so Viz is inclined to stay away from the problem.
He's still 'Zolo' as of the latest Water Seven volumes, but you get used to it.

Himuro said:
Thanks heaps mate! That just saved me a lot of time, much appreciated.
Yeah, like I said, my mind automatically processes it as Zoro now anyway. I don't know why I'm so addicted to a manga that I've already seen. I swear, once the entire series is finished, I'll probably have finished the manga, anime, then re-read the manga, then re-watch the anime (maybe dubbed but I <3 Luffy's Japanese voice so much).Crazymoogle said:
It's amazing how much obvious foreshadowing there is in this series. How did I not catch some of this stuff :lol
I know this isn't a manga thread but it's way back so I'll post it: Amazed at this Hachi title panel series. Aside from the brilliance of making it all one long fetch quest, I can't believe he introduced Camie and Pappagu so early! It's only Chapter 195. They have over three entire arcs before they appear in the actual story!

Crocodile has the best laugh in the anime and Buggy has the best VA. Yep. It's true.

Decided to watch the G8 arc as I had some time to kill, and I skipped most fillers anyway;
it made me miss the crew.
