You got a problem with breakdance battles to determine who the superior hard-boiled fighter is?

 

[Cwarrior]

One piece 695

Too much great animation to make gifs of.

Nah it's cool, just used to stare offs at the end of episodes like that.

Also the HD versions of the blue sea, alabasta, and skypeia arcs are decent in some places but the animation is still off.

[Moaradin]

Such a random episode to have good animation lol

If One Piece looked like this all the time...

 

[Kater]

Random thing I noticed, Diamante looks kinda like Mick Jagger. I wonder if that's Oda referencing famous people again just like he did before with Michael Jackson and Freddy Mercury.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

You're close. His design is based on Steven Taylor.

 

[Kater]

You're close. His design is based on Steven Taylor.

Yeah, close enough!

But anyway, I love all these references.

 

[Taborcarn]

Pretty sure these pics have been posted here before, but they don't get old:

Reminder that Mick Foley now knows about Spandam

I want to see Eminem react to Eneru

Wait Eneru was Eminem?

 

[Raxus]

Mistake!

 

[Dugna]

Despite being under a bandana the hair is a dead giveaway.

But eneru has an afro....

 

[Raxus]

But eneru has an afro....

I was wrong, according to the wiki if he took off his bandana it'd be a perm.

Oda is a silly silly man.

 

[Dugna]

Oda is a silly silly man.

that's borderline an afro, how could ya tell it's a perm?

 

[Raxus]

that's borderline an afro, how could ya tell it's a perm?

One Piece Wiki

...and according to Oda, if Enel was to take off his bandana, his hair would be styled in a perm.

Nope. Come back in another year or so.

Not on Funimation's page?

Still can't believe we made it this far.

 

[Magwik]

Episode 696 is up

 

[Squalor]

Is it going to take Luffy multiple episodes to get up this staircase even though a one-legged man got up in fast?

Is this staircase going to be the Biscuits Room of this arc?

 

[Grexeno]

Is this staircase going to be the Biscuits Room of this arc?

Manga readers already know what will be the Biscuits Room of this arc and it will be painful.

 

[Tathanen]

Man some great art and direction this ep. Reminded me of the good ol days. I sure hope they can keep it going for the next ep, best moment of the whole arc comin up.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Two great animated episodes in a row?

Must be a once-in-a-lifetime miracle.

Did you watch the episode?

 

[Moaradin]

Two well animated episodes back to back? That's a first for One Piece!

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Mr. Popo?

Oh wait, it's Luffy.

 

[Cwarrior]

One piece 696

Animation by toei's brillaint kōdai watanabe, He was the Chief animation director & character designer for One piece 3D2Y, this the first time I've seen him working on the tv serise(outside the latest opening), his another toei super rookie that hasn't been around that long.

 

[Dugna]

3D2Y special was pretty well done animation wise, so glad to see this animator get more work.

 

[Squishy3]

Mr. Popo?

Oh wait, it's Luffy.

It's sometimes hard to tell if I'm watching One Piece or DBZ with all the 25 year old DBZ sound effects they use.

This was a really good episode, though. Hope the quality can keep up for the rest of Dressrosa.

 

[Frozenprince]

I'm dreading how long they're going to drag out the exec fights.

 

[Magwik]

697 is up
Yay new opening
EDIT: Holy shit they REALLY dragged that out

 

[Moaradin]

697 is up
Yay new opening

Already? Feels like we just got one.

 

[BatDan]

No, it's the same opening as last week.

 

[Magwik]

No, it's the same opening as last week.

Guess i'm too skip happy then

 

[Taborcarn]

Been waiting to see how they animated this scene. Man did they really drag it out though.

Spoiler

Bow down before the almighty Godsopppppppppppppppppp!!

If there was one scene that needed the Kai treatment, it was that. Seriously didn't need the bit with Usopp imagining himself missing.

 

[Taborcarn]

Unfortunately it doesn't add to the suspense, it does the opposite and takes away from the epicness of the moment.

 

[Dugna]

Yeah they like really dragged out that scene, but still great none the less.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

This is when Usopp officially earns the title of "God" Usopp.

 

[Banzai]

Love it when my boy Ussop gets shit done.
Now, with Luffy having reached Mingo, how many more episodes do you think there'll be until the fighting ends? 20-30?
I can already see Mingo going off on some rant that's coupled with a 10-episode flashback.

I think I'll try to not to watch anymore so I can do it in one go later.

 

[Jaroof]

Spoiler

Usopp just got his first taste of Haki, huh?

Awesome episode.

Also, can't stop laughing at the noise the ammunition makes.

 

[Tathanen]

Blugh. They sure ruined that from start to finish. At least they used good music when Luffy/Law confronted Doflamingo.

 

[Squishy3]

I was not prepared for the amount of literal stretching.

I swear they showed that shot like 10 times of him pulling the slingshot back.

 

[inafking]

Hi peeps! I'm a huge fan of the show. I'd like to show some of my OP swag.

I've this cap I bought from 399animeshop

I've also this dry-fit T-shirt with self-made designs

The front and back designs are in SVG format (vector image) here and here

I have this stuff I bought at Mugiwara Store in Shibuya Parco

Keychain

Mug

Luffy wanted poster

This was me at Mugiwara Store in Shibuya, Tokyo

I'm an anime and manga follower

Spoiler

Luffy's about to get recovered from his gear 4th, just in time before torikago shrinks to a minimum

Given that in the map the crew is a little bit past halfway, we have about 15 years more of show until they (may) get to Raftel, isn't it? Given that, stretching wouldn't be needed.

 

[Squishy3]

I'm referring to how they stretched out something that's like a total of 8 pages in the manga for an entire episode.

 

[Imperial Bishop]

Hi peeps! I'm a huge fan of the show. I'd like to show some of my OP swag.

That's a lot of great OP merch.

I'll go to the Mugiwara Store someday....when I have the money and leisure.

Next Tv special has been announced One piece episode of Sabo

http://onepiecepodcast.com/2015/06/16/one-piece-episode-of-sabo-additional-information-unveiled/

Yuma Kano from Fuji TV’s management division commented: First and foremost, the childhood of the three brothers–Luffy, Ace, and Sabo–is adorable. This special will surely be a tearjerker once again. One Piece is known to center around bonds between comrades, but this story illustrates a bond that was forged through a promise exchanged during childhood. It would be our greatest pleasure if viewers will take this opportunity to witness their adventures as they inherit their unchanging hearts from their childhood.


In this year’s One Piece summer special, a character who recently exploded into popularity, Sabo, will join us in one of the most famous story arcs from One Piece–the story of the Luffy, Ace, and Sabo brotherhood. Viewers will be able to follow the three brothers through their first meetings, partings, and reunions in this anime special! We’ll also bring to you all-new scenes that will lead up to Sabo and Luffy’s reunion in Dressrosa! This will be a golden opportunity for both One Piece fans and not-so-savvy viewers to experience everything great that One Piece has to offer!

If you watch this summer special, you’ll be better up to date with the current Dressrosa arc, and I guarantee that you will enjoy the anime series even more! Please enjoy the highly anticipated Episode of Sabo.

The Episode of Sabo anime special is scheduled to air on Saturday August 22 at 9 p.m. on Fuji TV.
