Ah Naruto was Sabo, I was sure I recognised the voice just wasn't sure where ( hasn't watched the anime for months).

Didn't Ichigo voice Marco in the last arc to lol.

I laughed at Luffy's inability to lie.

Wow that is Naruto. I knew I recognized that voice.

Luffy's inability to lie is still funny. Porchemy's reaction was great.

Okay everyone. It's clear that One Piece has been selling like shit in America, because FUNi hasn't renewed the show for another "season" (the final DVD release has ended with G8).

The most common complain I've heard is "the sets are too expensive". Well, here's your chance:

FUNi is putting out season sets. Episodes 1-26, July 26th, $26. That's a dollar an episode. You have no excuse now.

If you want DVDs (or Blurays) of the series, this may be our only chance for a long, long time.

That Naruto voice sure does wonders, it fits his character. I'm liking Sabo more because of it, beats the imaginary voice I had of him when I read the manga.

You read the manga, you should know that
the Straw Hats have those same flashbacks to when they met Luffy right after his flashback to meeting Ace and Sabo ended. Plus there's the fact that this will likely be the last opening before the timeskip...



She's strange looking, but there's no way she's the 2nd weirdest looking character in OP.

One Piece - Ep 495 - I Won't Run! Ace's Desperate Rescue Operation!

One Piece - Ep 496 - Preview
Click to expand...
That preview at least explains why both of the next two episode titles seem to come from the same manga chapter. Looks like
they're fleshing out Sabo's backstory in High Town much much more in the anime than they did at this point in the manga
.

Considering this episode was basically only half a chapter, I really enjoyed it.

Wow, do they usually slow the pace down that much, I guess were crawling towards the next arc.

To be fair, Oda did kind of blaze through parts of this arc in the manga. Much of the story of the boys and their bonding takes place over a couple of dialogue-less montages in these chapters. The whole scene with the gator and Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Fuusen in this episode, for example, came from literally one single panel (that had no dialogue). I don't think it's really a bad thing for them to take the time to turn those quick flashes of scenes into proper little vignettes to flesh out the boys' relationship and characterization.

That scene with Dadan finding them asleep was painful, though...

It's better than having them throw in a half year filler arc like they do from time to time in bleach wouldn't you say?

I really liked the episode. The animation was great, and it's been great for the entire flashback so far. Despite the fact that they're dragging it out, I think I'm enjoying the flashback more in the anime than the manga so far.


And we'll likely not have to deal with filler arcs after this flashback is done, considering how slow they're going to with this. That is a good thing.


I loved how Luffy was always sprinting to keep up with Ace and Sabo. Nice touch, anime dudes.

Is Funimation's website down for everyone? Can't watch this week's episode yet because of it.

Anyways, here's the cover for the One Piece Collection:

Of all the times for the site to go down, guess I will rewatch Bleach. After reading the one piece chapters for this flashback, I was ready to see it animated.

Just watched the latest few episodes and I gotta say, is it me or is the animation getting better or something?

I remember being ..well, kinda bored through most of the war arc (despite loving it in the manga) yet this flashback seems much more fun to see animated as a whole. (and although I wasn't a hater, I wouldn't say I enjoyed it as much as most of the war in the manga.)

Maybe it's the lack of meaningless Buggy/Mr.3 filler that makes me like it more.

I'd rather a filler arc or two. I'd rather a better show in the long run than a slow show. Filler is annoying at the time but it's easy to skip if you want to go through the series again.

I have noticed that as well. I almost planned to stop watching during the war arc because of all the stupid buggy and mr.3 jokes, and the pretty dissapointing animation. But the animation has definitely gotten better now, and feels more like One Piece again.

I'd much rather have the Luffy flashback in the form it is now, than a more manga-paced one compensated for by filler arcs. Sorry. I think it works incredibly well.

Problem with filler arcs is that they can slowly kill your drive to watch the series when the canon eventually starts, I didn't mean to stop watching Naruto. :(

What do you mean it kills the drive? If one is a fan of a series why would they stop when non canon stuff appears? If anything a fan would want more, I would think, and keep watching for new story.

Watch Da Birdie

I buy cakes for myself on my birthday it's not weird lots of people do it I bet
So, I wanted to marathon the show over the summer and I got excited hearing that it was online...

But the subs on Funimation's site goes from 1 to around 158 and then jumps to 389 basically. Any idea on when that gap will be filled?

so does everyone agree that strong world was the best movie?
Click to expand...

The hype killed it for me unfortunately. All the talk of it being canon, that prologue chapter Oda made for this, the movie being hyped as "Luffy & other's last adventure" (or something like that) and in the end it was just...like any other One Piece movie, only a bit better.

An OK movie but I still liked movie 6 best.

I been watching One Piece on Hulu Plus recently & have to say I'm disappointed.

The animation around the save Ace arc is absolutely terrible. Huge downgrade from what I remember seeing.

I remember when One Piece was started, it had such a unique art style to it, but now it is just generic crap, badly animated generic crap at that.
Are there any episodes like with Naruto that have special animation teams?

Yes. In the war arc, however, it was usually just certain scenes as opposed to full episodes.

In other words, they'd blow entire episode budgets on single, epic scenes.
