Excellent episode. I loved how they threw in various foreshadowing to make some of the manga's events less deus ex machina-ry (Ivankov, The Fish, etc). The anime also made Luffy alot more competent against Magellen than he was in the manga. The episode's general tone seemed more violent & sinister too (Venom Demon's introduction was almost creepy). Overall the episode had alot more effort to it than usual, almost as if it was a 'special episode' or ova. Even the general directing of the episode felt better than usual.
A+
(Hopefully the last Impel Down arc episode is just as good)

Ivankov's Hell Wink still amazes me every single time. It's just so ridiculous. :lol

I agree on all accounts.
Also I forgot how big Ivankov's head is in that growth state. :lol
And I also lol'd at "Are you Straw Hat's son?"
And was it just me or was anyone else thinking, "Bon Clay has to be getting tired of holding his leg up in that position."

That's because Gear 3, Magellen's new attack and some other scenes were apparently done by one of Toei's supporting animators, Naotoshi Shida. He's really good and is brought in for certain One Piece scenes but mainly works on Pretty Cure.Anth0ny said:Awesome episode. I love those fucking whales :lol
Also, anyone else notice the jump in animation quality during the Gear 3 scene? It felt like I was watching Movie 10 for a second there

I think the most exciting part of this episode is the fact that they're out of ID, from this point on the next arc is at most two episodes or so away; unless they add filler or something.
I'm really looking foreward to seeing the next arc animated, I'm guessing we'll probably have a new intro soon as well?

That's pretty much what I meant by "fillers", wasn't sure if mentioning what they could be would be considered spoilers in this thread;Griffith said:
What are the released episode titles? I haven't found em on the wiki.
Spoiler tagged are the last two eps of Impel Down.Neoriceisgood said:
Titles (rough translation):
451:
Do your last miracle - Breaking through the gates of justice
Aiming to navy headquarters - The voyage to rescue Ace!
454: Sanji & Chopper episode (provisional)

Well that's perfectly fine as well, I'll be the last person to complain about seeing the straw hats again & possibly having a ton of new content to boot. (Even Namek's animator team from DBZ would be hard pressed to turn 4 panels into an entire episode.
...
then again...)

51 just came out and ended with Luffy punching the shit out of that world noble brat
And privateers were part of naval warfare of some nations from the 16th to the 19th century. You may have heard the name Francis Drake.

Getting a strong sense of irony from the fact that Francis Drake and his OP namesake' Diez Drake have done the complete reverse thing.
Wait... didn't we get episodes based on the Crew's whereabouts already? Are these gonna be continuations? Or repeats?
I couldn't' care less either way, as long as the pacing and animation is good for the next arc, Toei could do whatever the fuck they want.
Ho. Ly. Shit.
Move over Tate, I have a new favourite animator

I think their last episode was that they were all sent off to the lands, but the cover stories explores what they are doing in their respective destinations. So Im led to believe that the episodes would be continuations based on what they are doing in their places (more so than what was shown?)

but.. I want someone to beat Magellan :/

Anth0ny said:
I think its a continuation, the covers seemed to cover more than what those episodes went over. Though lol each person was only give two covers :/
SolidusDave said:
That'd be a damn impressive feat, anyone who touches him is poisoned, can neuter people with poison gas bubbles, and he made Mr 3's wax redundant with his infecta-venom, and I assume he was the one who took down Shiyru when he went rogue in ID.
The only people I could realistically see taking him down is one of the admirals which wouldn't happen, or Blackbeard with his black holes had he not got one shotted. :lol
There's an episode 0 Strong World flying about the interwebs! :O

I just hate how all the horrible criminals were free. I could imagine Magellan being back in the story if they ever decide to return ...However, I just noticed in my shonen jump issue that some of the criminals who were excited were screaming about that their going to turn over a new leaf and return to their families, lol. I thought it was nice

The prisoners going free is one consequence of this arc. I hope that Oda addresses this issue.

Oops, I havent watched this episode and figured, based on what I read, that what my post referred to had happened in this episode. The english shonen jump chapters are actually following right along with these episode.

Normally, no main character is dying in OP, so no harm done if they kicked his ass. He would take a week off and return to work
Seriously though, as I don't read the manga I kinda expected Luffy to have gained a resistance to the poison but they would first notice it once Maggelan hits him with his strongest attack. Similar to the surprise when Enel tried his electric attacks on Luffy.

It would be cool if future cover stories are Magellan going around the world recapturing the nameless criminals.
Of course, I know he and his crew wouldn't realistically leave ID but still. Would be a fun cover story.

Didnt we get some of some criminals at times. Do they always animate the cover stories?

Same with Hannyabal.
Impel Down might be harshly brutal, and some of the pirates imprisoned there were good people who didn't deserve it, but most of those prisoners sounded like really rough and nasty pirates. Like, pirate pirates, the rape and pillage kind.
Not to mention Crocodile and Mr. 1 (a megalomaniac and an assassin) are free, and even the "weaklings" like Buggy can still easily terrorize innocent people. That's not even bringing up... well, that's going to be quite a few episodes from now, when the upcoming arc is ending.
ID has been effectively crippled by Luffy's actions, and there's still the damage done by Enies Lobby (the gateway to Marine HQ and ID, and the court where the world's worst criminals are processed) being wiped off the map.
"Unintended side-effects" seems like a theme that's developing.

Crocodile wanted to leave Impel Down and kill Whitebeard if he had the chance. Mr. 1 said he was just getting bored, and because Crocodile asked him.

That guy's style is very nice, but he sure loves having characters going back and forth between up close and far away.
They should do a whole cover story arc "Other happenings in the world of One Piece" and run us through alot of side stuff, just so it can get some distance from the manga and we can get (hopefully) better paced episodes. /pipedreamDedication Through Light said:

They been doing that in the past as filler episodes. Like the Coby training episode.

Wow finally watched the episode, Daz was pretty impressive with spinning and slashing all those marines on the ship.
