Probably the best the anime ever is. Besides 3-4 "filler" episodes just showing flashbacks of their origin stories it's the cream of the crop.
It was amazing. Granted I never read the manga and can't compare it, but it's still my favorite arc in any anime ever.Diablos54 said:I'm at the end of the Skypeia arc now in the anime, and I just wanted to now how well the anime does the Water 7 arc? Please tell me it does it well?

lol I forgot about that!!!! lol that was definitely a funny scene.
Wow how did you all bear reading through the "final fight" of Skypeia weekly? lol, I could have thought that the chapter ending for 293 said the "final fight" and they are still trying to reach Enreu, lol.

Im at Chapter 301 now. At this rate, I am to catch up by the end of this weekend hopefully!!!! Are recent manga chapters even discussed in this thread?
Anyway my thoughts after the defeat of Eneru
Ohhhhhhhhh
2 Historical Texts Thus Far (Pluton and Skypeia)
Gold D Roger wrote on the one in Skypeia
About dangerous weapons
Poseidon
ZOMG the mystery is getting so intriguing, IM STILL DYING to know what/where this ONE PIECE is, lol. The writer just needs to say it already, or give more clues, its fun having the clues and trying to guess.

No, recent chapters are discussed in the manga thread. This thread is mainly for the anime only and people such as yourself who are catching up. I'd suggest that when you get past where the anime currently is, spoiler tag your thoughts in here until you catch up completely, then move to he manga thread.Dedication Through Light said:

One of my favorite things about Skypiea is that it brings a sense of adventure to the series. I mean, it's awesome what's currently going on in the manga but it just doesn't have that sense of adventure and wonderment that made Skypiea and some of the earlier chapters more charming.
Entropia said:
Really? To me, it felt like just another fantastic stop on the Grand Line. Sure, this particular spot is, y'know, floating super high in the sky, but I feel like every stop for the Strawhats is pretty jaw-dropping in its own way. Maybe not as much so as Skypiea, but still.

Ahahaha these chapters for this Davy Back challenges are quite interesting and a nice segway from skypeia. lol. Chp 308
Awesome!!!!!!!!!

WTF at Thriller Bark hate, it was awesome.
Sanji and his Devil Fruit mini-arc were great, and he was at his craziest, all the Strawhats fighting Oz was pretty cool and Brook is one of the best crew members. I understand some people wanted a shorter, more relaxed adventure-y island arc after the intensity of Ennies Lobby, but I liked it

Oh Chapters 323 on the way to Water Seven
There is no way they can beat any of the top admirals, Blue Pheasant owned them all, especially Luffy!!! The crew needs some elemental power!!!
I think for me thus far, I liked Alabasata Arc > Skypeia > Arlong on the basis of fighting. Skpeia had a greater environment and adventurous feeling.
I hope Going Merry gets an upgrade. I wonder if someone attempted to make a lifesize replica...

Was that filler? I stopped watching it there and read the manga instead. Where did this Sanji-devil fruit thing come from?

Dude, just chill, it'll all eventually come together (even if it still hasn't right now). One Piece is an expert at bringing up mysteries and details, seemingly dropping them or not paying them too much attention, and then suddenly bringing them back hundreds of chapters later... then everybody goes back to the original chapter and sees that hints to those future events were actually there all along.

It was in the manga. It's this chapter http://www.onemanga.com/One_Piece/464/00-cover/.Maleficence said:

I like Thriller Bark. I just think it goes for a little too long. Especially in the anime. I really like the single arc areas like Skypea and Thriller Bark because it show's other sides to their world. Not everything is pirates vs marines.

Yeah that was pretty good. But overall I didn't like the arc much.

Just came across the cover for the next DVD voyage at apforums.
Looks good. The Jaya + Skypiea arc is very epic.

oh someone on that myanimelist site pointed me to the bleach.animeexile site for one piece. Are they truly better than One Manga for reading these old chapters?

I decided to while simultaneously reading the chapter, watch the anime for a clip of the selected fight. Which I was able to fortunately find in decent quality on youtube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fNYb3_PEpz8
It seemed to condense the fight of two chapters into one episode, but more importantly, it really did show that Luffy had no time at all to recover from Usops tricks and attacks. I didnt think he would last that long against Luffy, and all those shuriken, stars, and other devices, Luffy took lots of blood loss.

Definitely one of my favorite fights.
Man, I am a weird OP fan I guess.
I liked Skypiea, I thought it had good badass action (BATTLE ROYALE) and Eneru vs. Luffy was excellent excellent excellent with a fantastic satisfying payoff with the bell at the end. I do agree the arc was too long and the pacing was too slow for it, but I still thought it was a great ride.
I loved Thriller Bark! OP doing UNDEAD ZOMBIES was so hilarious and fun. There were so many great horror spoof scenes and the characters were all pretty good. The only thing I didn't care for so much was the Moria fight which wasn't the most exciting.
otoh, I didn't care for Eneis Lobby arc. It's my least favorite "real arc". It became too much of a bleach-style fighting manga to me. I loved sokakage king but that's about it. I'm also not a fan of animal fruit users so the villians were kinda eh to me. I was glad when it was over. I really liked Water 7 though. The city and cast was interesting.
The only part of OP that I absolutely hated and could not wait until it ended was the Davey-back Fight arc. The "game" event was too silly and fillerish to me.

I consider Davey Back a transition point. It was terrible imo but I don't count it as an arc. I also preferred Water 7 to Enies Lobby but I consider it all one big arc and both were great. Mostly because of that moment where (spoilered for DtL)
.
Robin goes "I want to live" and they shoot down the flag and you're all like FUCK YEAAHHHH as Luffy declares war on the World Government

Thank god. The whole "3-4 cg character art photoshopped on a blank background" was so ugly. Leave it to the Jaya Arc to have the first good cover.Easystride said:

What do you mean terrible? I thought it was pretty fun and hilarious in the manga. Especially the boat race and the ball game. I mean I think it could have had a better ending than drawing on the pirate flag
BTW Im on chapter 375 and they seem to be about to arrive on Ennis Lobby, is this still Water 7 arc or not?

I believe Oda said in one SBS, the whole point of Skypeia taking place in this "other realm" was because someone like Enel would be too powerful in the normal world

In other One Piece news, all 5 volumes that were released this week managed to make the New York Times Manga Best Seller List. This is absurdly good for One Piece considering its previous infrequent and short existances on said list. I suppose it speaks volumes when you consider how much better the Water 7 releases are doing compared to the Skypeia ones.
