New OP is great. 
This is a series where 20 foot tall people are normal and aren't considered giants (hell, Crocodile is a pretty regular lookin' dude and he's over 8 feet tall!), normal people with no remarkable physical traits like Kohza can shrug off being shot with a gun at point blank range multiple times, nobody really questions the oddness of a talking three foot tall fuzzy animal hybrid beyond only the rare slight surprise (and are even LESS surprised when he transforms into a 7 foot hulking beast), and one villain flew to the moon on a flying boat and became king of the moon people.Himuro said:
I don't see why pulling off some superhuman feat of this particular sort is any more stupid than these other things that are pretty generally taken for granted in One Piece.
"I was with you on the giant turtle smoking a stogie, wearing a cowboy hat, and pulling a carriage at high speed, but I'm afraid
not sticking with the strictest biological guidelines of human gestation
I don't know. When in doubt, "it's One Piece" has been a pretty sufficient explanation for most of the batshit ridiculous stuff that goes on in this series. :lol

Man it really simple Will of D made it happen :lol .
If fact i kind happy that Oda did that showing you that everything in real world can be change in One Piece.

THIS. Also, amazing OP, but so fucking sad. Still, I think the way it is was perfect, I kinda wished we could've seen a couple of Marineford fights animated in it though, since that would've been a great way to fill the Op with Marineford stuff without spoilers. I didn't mind the still shots in the opening since they all looked so beautiful and polished. Rootless was right, they delivered!
Now all that's left is to watch the actual episode. :lol
The tension was damn scary. I love the result of that scene.
One good thing I can definitely say about the anime is that it really nails the awesome scenes. Hiluluk, Bellamy, Brook-Laboon etc. etc. This scene is added to the list.
Pacing throughout the episode was also really good. Anime-only people should be very pleased knowing this, hopefully it keeps up till the end of Marineford.
Also the opening was good, but the animation kind of sucked. Looking back I think I liked Kokoro no Chizu animation best.
Good song, awesome scenes/frames, it's just the animation was off a little.
Edit: Watched the opening again, and apparently now Marco's bird is blue? I guess it makes sense, it's just I totally thought it was Ho-Oh colored. One of "those" moments I guess.

? The animation was great. Are you sure you're not just being thrown off because its all done in character reel style? Or perhaps its not strictly animation you're refering to?upandaway said:

I'm the only one that loves all the Openings.
I wish they still made Endings. Why did they ever stop anyway?

3. Whatever this new one is called

Kizaru really has the best smug face ever. :lol
Also new opening is definitely in the top 5 for me.

Me too. Though it's hard to rank them because for me it all really coms down to what arc the song was used for and if it was appropriate for said arc. Of course, the first few openings weren't story related, so for those I would've ranked on the quality of the actual songs.

The manga is always available lol
The mystery! My mind's gonna explode. Waiting 7 days for 20 minutes of material is really a torture...
And I know I could read the manga, but I just like watching better, with the music, excellent voicework (Buggy!), etc... I'd only spoil the epicness of the anime, don't want to do that.

Dragon and Roger were lovers who obviously couldn't sire children. To solve this Dragon had Ivanko us his devil fruit powers to turn him into a woman for a limited time so that him and Roger could have children together. So Roger and Dragon are both Luffy's and Ace's fathers.
Come on guys, we all know We Are is the best OP. It defines adventure, and is one of the last "true" anime opening themes. Everything after has just been J-Pop artists offering their songs to sell more records.
There's a reason why we hear the instrumental all over the place (including every next episode preview) and even the vocal version once and a while. The song is One Piece.
If One Piece pulled a Dragon Ball and decided to only use one OP for the entire series, I'd be ecstatic to hear We Are every week

Crocodile says hi.
Actually kizaru's face reminds me of Katakuriko Matsudaira from Gintama. I think they were both based on the same person.
So guys, I just got done with the whole K-F batch out while watching OP with my sister. Erm... what group do I go for now? I forgot :lol :lol
Problem with Funi is their page won't let me stream videos because "I am not from USA" which is bullshit but oh well what can you do. KF has up to 270 and I am downloading up to 260. Where to go then?

The animation for the new opening is great but the song is more suited for an ED rather than an OP. "Forgettable" is the best word to describe it. Almost every other song in the series' history had an immediately memorable tune--this is just some slow generic shit that you forget the moment it finishes.

Ah you must have ESP, lol, for you just answered the question I was about to ask.
Blue is hotter than orange.Himuro said:
The manga has "cover arcs." Sometimes the covers of chapters will be used as a full page panel depicting events taking place elsewhere in the world and act as epilogues. There have been ones about the aftermaths of almost every major arc. I highly doubt any of them will ever get animated, except for, obviously, the ones that were dedicated to the strawhats after they were separated, because they've already been animated. Maybe if they become relevant to the main story like the Strawhats cover arc was they will be. They could have used them as canon filler.SolidusDave said:

ah ok, thx, I guess I will read those in the manga then.

Hey it's fun and it definitely has its moments, but the pacing feels off. Sometimes good, sometimes bad. Also the initial art is really bad though in later episodes animation and art get back to standard. Enel is built up so much but yet the hyped up fight is barely anything. The face he makes is still epic though :lol Shandia was sightly interested, but at least in my sister's case last night she wanted to skip one of the flashbacks when Wiper is about to get clocked.
It's still the worst of the main arcs. Also, it's just a re-imagining of Alabasta with some different elements. Oh, and less epic. As I said, interesting plot marred down by bad pacing, art and some stupid directing decisions.
Little Buggy and Coby-Helmeppo's cover storylines were both animated. Jango's was extremely loosely partially adapted for one of the movie shorts. We've picked up storylines in the anime with Baroque Works, Hatchan, and Ace that take place after their respective cover arcs have played out, even though they weren't animated.RagnarokX said:
And, of course, there have been the Straw Hat cover page arcs which have appeared and been expanded upon in the anime.
As far as I know, the only cover arcs that haven't had some impact on the continuing story of the series thus far have been Wapol's, Enel's, Gedatsu's, and CP9's. And who knows, maybe one of them will come up again. But yeah, they are considered canon.

Really? lol, now I feel a bit uninspired to see it animated. I rushed through it in the manga and thought it was pretty enjoyable.
Dedication Through Light said:
Just watch it.
As I said, I am re-watching the series with my sister who is watching it for the first time so I love to see her reactions to the stuff going on. She loved Jaya and was absolutely intrigued by Sky Island. As we were all I think. As the arc progressed the anime slowed down the pace to the point the freaking Sasori-fatguyinballs battle lasted 3 irritating and gruesome episodes. Things didn't pick up much until about that episode with the dancing wolves which is awesome though :lol . She loved that the island was part of Jaya and that surprise element... something, once again, I think we all loved. Thankfully after this the battles pick up a bit until the Ohm battle where they slow down again to once more a unimpresive and anti-climatic ending with Zoro vs. Ohm. It takes two slow as shit episodes for Enel to beat everyone, something that shouldn't have taken that long. Then we Luffy finally fights Enel it only lasts 1.4 episodes or something.
Art was really weak as well, even worse than the initial episodes. As I said, it gets better along the way but usually it's not good. It's of consistent quality, so what you see is what you will get most of the ride except for some episodes which were obviously animated better.
Pretty meh :lol
EDIT: Spoilered to be a nice guy

Reports from Relix's Sister Watching Adventure:
At the end, she thought it needed more action against Enel. She enjoyed the Cargara backstory quite a bit. She did like how Enel was owned. She liked the ending too and was excited about the giants explanation :lol .
Anyway, I skipped G8. Yes, it's good filler, but I kinda want to focus on the story with her. =P. Also skipped Foxy because that's one god-awful arc with no story repercussions. And it sucks. Harder than Skypiea. So I jumped straight to the Aokiji fight. Was this a good choice? =P.
Anyway... man getting the later episodes is a true bitch. Wow.
