Choppers part was pretty good in the episode. Otherwise, I wonder why T Law isnt heading out to the new world like the others.

Nice to hear all the super positive movie 6 reviews, it's actually been my long standing favourite for a long time, so hearing people agree about it (and for the right reasons too) does please me.
Is there a reason why everyone is watching movie 6 all of a sudden? lol.
Movie 6 is my most wanted One Piece movie. If they localized this and Strong World, I'd be happy. I love it so much, and Tate's animation style is one of my favorites for One Piece. So good.
I've been considering importing the blu ray...

Also wondering this.
Is there a good way to get caught up on One Piece? I stopped watching around episode ~300 (Vegapunk was subbing). Would like to pick it back up.
I see that FUNimation is actually offering "official" subs in fairly high quality streaming, for free: http://www.onepieceofficial.com/videos.aspx
...man the anime scene has changed since I started watching one piece ~7 years ago, ha. If stuff like this existed then, the fansub scene would look very different.
So... is that the best option? I mean I'm sure there might be some Weaboo complaints about what Funimation has done with the translation, but would it be good enough for me to get caught up / re-watch? I'm leaning towards this because:
1) It's legal. Wanna support the scene in at least a small way.
2) Consistent quality. Who knows what you're getting with some 500 episode "one piece subbed high quality" torrent.
3) Ease. Streaming!
Fake Edit: I see there is a gap in Funimation's subs. It goes from 205 to 391. Is Funimation still closing that gap? Who is the best fan group to turn to for those missing eps? Kaizoku-Fansubs until 300, then where?

Once Funimation started doing their subs I stopped going to VegaPunk and the like.
I haven't looked at the OP subbing scene in awhile, but I think there still might be some sub groups that are subbing it on their own after it airs in Japan.
EDIT: Apparently vegapunk doesn't exist anymore!

Movie 4 is my favourite. Captures the adventure part the best in all the films.
Entropia said:
There are ton of subbing groups. I did a bunch of research into them last night before I realized Funimation was doing nice subs.
The issue is that Funimation still has a big, 180 episode gap. I need some advice on where to turn to close that gap. K-F will get me about halfway there.
My path back in the day was:
K-F -> BalF (should not be needed) -> GeruSama (should not be needed anymore) -> ADC-Elites -> VegaPunk -> yibis (and some other random groups before yibis established itself) -> Funimation iirc
I think you only need to go K-F -> VegaPunk -> yibis -> Funimation but might need to ADC in the middle.

I wonder what the opening will be. Hopefully it premieres before that point in time.

I appreciate the tip but they don't actually close the Funimation gap.
Anth0ny said:
Yeah. I did a spot-check of this yesterday when I was first looking into it. Obviously all the K-F stuff is fine, later stuff is... questionable.
I think I'm being a little silly about this TBH. I'm just going to dive in, because the odds are fucking slim I'll still be interested after re-watching the ~300 eps I watched back in 2005.

I finished watching the series again and I just love how coherent the storyline is. Everything fits together, their actions, the people they meet etc. It doesn't just jump into and arc and forget the previous characters and their purposes.
I am looking at you BLEACH!!!!

I would love a Kai version. I'd imagine it would happen years after the anime is done and the franchise interest is dying down. That's like 15+ years.

One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island: I only have vague knowledge of One Piece from the constant praise it gets on the interwebz and by my nakama, but the length of the work has kept me away from trying to get into it. Even so, I came out from this film not feeling like I missed anything -the characters were immediately interesting and endearing; I actually felt for them when shit broke loose. However, it is the antagonists that make the show -the spotlight is on Luffy's band, but the story is definitely that of Baron Omatsuri and the two-sided nature of the camaraderie he forged with his crew.
Great action even if the CGI is not convincing. The soundtrack was fun to listen and engaging when necessary. There's a great shift in tone from one half of the movie to the other, but it doesn't feel unnatural. My only complaint would be that the film ends too soon. I wanted to see what Luffy and co. got out of the ordeal, as well as to get a glimpse at the future of the mustache-man and the family.
Bonus: Chopper and Robin cosplay!
Probably because we discovered it was directed by Mamoru Hosoda.

9 nakama out of 10, not sure if better than Summer Wars.

So um real talk guys, I want to watch from say... skypiea to now(I know, I know). Where and how would I go about doing that? Is this even feasible? If the subject matter is not kosher I apologize.

Have any of you guys seen the 3D special? What did you think of it?
I suprisingly like the graphics which I was expecting to hate. Story was standard OP filler fair though. Which is great by the general anime standards.

I think its too many episodes to make a Kai version feasible. What would it do? Cut down 1000 episodes into 500?

Skipping filler used to be my OP Kai but now I ant even do that because they stretch each episode to a demonic level.
I dont mind too much because I only watch 1 per week but if I had to marathon Water7, TB and Impel Down, I would go absolutely insane.

Go for it. Shouldn't be too bad if you skip the filler and 5+ minute recaps. Probably like 60 hours.

I remember having to watch Skypiea with the most horrible subs (HK subs? something like that)
They couldnt even get the name right... Roofy, Zolo, etc. Everything was just awful.

Oh whoops. Thought they did. Where's the gap?
One piece 513
Akanu shows his the top boss, his even got bb and crew running.
I remember waiting for kf to sub skypia at incredible slow rate of 1 episode every 3 weeks if youre lucky, some times you wouldn't get an episode for 2 months, the only alternative was hk subs which was unwatchable.
You know where kf is now, jumped ship around 2007 when they where on the beginning of water 7, 4 years later there still on enis lobby.

I just got up to:
In the manga. 420 chapters to go, but GAF was right, that was a really bad ass moment.

The episode felt like it was only ten minutes, but it was so good seeing the Sanji moments as well as the flashbacks of the characters. Best moment
Ep 508 should have done it like this.

FUNimation is gonna work on closing that gap once Toei stops dicking them around on getting them more episodes to dub. They want to do more, but OP makes so much money for Toei in Japan that I doubt they would have any problem with just taking the license away from them.
Apparently this is the instrumental to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=vQj_ln0v8vkBatDan said:
