He sounds fucking stupid, Usopp too. Sanji sounds OK, yet strangely familiar.Firestorm said:
Oh yeah, the character design is quirky as hell; I love it.LaneDS said:
Well, to be fair, I'm pretty sure he's supposed to sound stupid. That's kinda like....the crux of his entire character.silverbullet1080 said:
Well until the very last bit at least. They had an obvious ending with the action stopping and fading out to a picturesque "to battle" scene, with gun shots being heard over it as if it was meant to occur over the usual "to be continued" image. ....And then it kept on going for 2 more minutes. Its like the animation guys suddenly realized that they still had 2 minutes to kill and so they tacted on another Buggy/Mr.3 semi-filler and a new ending of Croc meeting Mr.1.BobLoblaw said:Wow. Fantastic episode. Pacing was damn near perfect.

I just hope we get to see something out of Whitebeard here. I mean, we've been listening to everyone describe this man as some kind of God, but so far all we've seen him do is drink a fuckton of sake with Shanks. I wanna see him bust some heads open.Steroyd said:Someone needs to photoshop a real 'o meter, because we're going to need it.
Yeah, that is true. There have been times when I considered reading it, but then I always reason that seeing it in color and motion is probably worth the wait between episodes. So clearly I must have inadvertently touched on something that will happen. Ah, ok. I'm interested in seeing this, now.Griffith said:

This is the one reason why I don't read the manga. Watching Crocodile and Jinbei fuck up those Impel Down guards last night was freaking awesome. I'm sure there was probably only a couple of panels devoted to it in the manga, but seeing Croc kill those guys in slow mo was so much goodness. I mean, don't get me wrong, I'm probably getting a TON of filler in the anime that's not in the manga, but certain things just play out better in motion. Can you honestly tell me this was better in the manga?Tathanen said:
Yeah, I'd recommend watching the anime for your first time. Get the characters' voices, mannerisms, and the music in your brain. Then read through the manga later. I'm really enjoying my manga readthrough right now but I think a lot of it is due to how much I love the anime. That scene is a great example of something I was a little let down by while reading because it couldn't be as well done as it was in the show.BobLoblaw said:
Personally, I find it really, really hard to follow action scenes in manga =/ One Piece to a lesser extent than Naruto where I have NOOOO fucking clue what happened, but it's still annoying for me.Himuro said:
I have never managed to read a One Piece chapter in 2 minutes. In fact, some people complain that One Piece is "too thick" of a read and takes too long to read through (a stupid complaint, but neverless..) And of course a manga/comic book's pacing is in part controlled by the read themselves, so you only go through it as fast as you want.Tathanen said:
Yeah but for every "Walk to Arlong Park" there are 100 scenes in which the anime makes it worse by slowing the pace. This is especially true for when the anime has scenes in which its suppose to be fast, yet the anime slows it to a crawl anyway [Dragonball Z syndrome].BobLoblaw said:
Thats probably because Skypeia is where the anime first began its 1 chapter per 1 episode pacing.Firestorm said:
That's because Naruto sucks at scene transitions. Always has, always will. Don't blame the entire medium because of one author's faults.*Firestorm said:
Yes, this arc especially has had this problem. In the manga, every chapter was frenzied rush of awesome things happening while Luffy raced through Impel Down. I realize that they have to make 1 chapter fill a full episode, but then they started to not even do that. Starting with the Magellan fight, they started going from half of one chapter to half of another. It's like the animation team thinks they know better than Oda which scenes make better endings. I thought they finally got back on track, but the last two episodes were like that too. Then there's all of the uninteresting filler involving Buggy and Mr 3.grandjedi6 said:

This thread is primarily for the One Piece anime, but the folks in the official manga thread can probably answer that.Firestorm said:
Advisory: Stay away from the manga thread unless you are fully caught up with the japanese releases of the manga. If you are merely staying up to date with the english releases (whether its via Shonen Jump or the volumes themselves) then its probably better to stay in this thread since the anime is still ahead of the English manga.BobLoblaw said:
Yeah, even though people are spared the previews will watching the Funimation subs, there isn't anything to be done about Toei's spoiler-y episode titles. Next week's doesn't even attempt to hide the surprise.Firestorm said:
