With the way the arc is going in the manga, they won't be in the new world even a year from now. :( But I do agree that the ending montage was an awesome touch.

Uhm 2 eps doesn't always mean a "wasted" episode, just 2 eps.

It would be a waste because they're already really close to the manga, they can't afford to give two episodes at once anymore, unless you'd be fine with horrible pacing in the near future.

I really wish we were getting some full episode filler. It would make the actual show when important stuff is happening sooooo much better. I really hope they don't continue the trend of extreme slow pacing and just go with what fits the show.

Even when we were getting full episodes of filler showing the SHs again after Impel Down, Marineford ended up being a mess.

Ok, I know it's a year behind, but I still don't think they could afford to do 2 chapters now. I mean, FI isn't even complete yet and we're already a few episodes away from it!

And the pacing lately has been just fine so I'm personally not worried.

Right now, they're about 42 episodes behind the manga, so you're right. There's no way they'll be doing more than one chapter per episode. I sort of cringe at that because the first 25-30 chapters on FI were terribly paced anyway. Not sure how the hell they're going to pull it off.

May want to spoiler that out, dude.

Spoiler talk about Manga vs. Anime..

I wouldn't say that we're fairly close to FI. There's quite a few chapters before they even get there. I mean the Fake Strawhats are there for 3-4 chapters, then there's the descent to FI... then once we get there we're going to have to suffer through that flashback with the Queen.

In short, the anime could probably cover more of the manga in an episode up until certain points. I definitely do think that some manga chapters require a dedicated anime episode.

EDIT: Not everyone in here reads the manga guys. Some of you guys have posted something that could be considered spoilers for the anime watchers.

Seriously? Even in the anime they've been talking about going to that island next since 2007.

Yeah I noticed that too, but it got way better

I really think this should've been a pretty good point to end the series for a while, and take a break for like a couple of years starting from the timeskip with a new anime series, kinda like what DBZ is to DB

That seems like a risky move, taking a break seems like they could just lose the fanbase and viewers and never reach its former glory. I cant imagine One Piece remaining this popular three years from now.

Except DBZ didn't start a couple years after Dragon Ball, it started exactly one week after it ended.

I was referring more at being treated as a different series from the original one, but didn't know it was just a week after wow, I though it aired at least half a year from the ending of original DB

I guess that wouldn't make a difference in pacing then

A more accurate example would be Hajime no Ippo and New Challenger, even though it's not nearly as popular as OP or DBZ

IT WOULD REMAIN POPULAR TO ME DAMMIT!!

But seriously, some kind of yearly season structure like american shows would greatly benefit the pace of series like OP while avoiding it from catching up to the source material

A break would be fine. If the Anime ran for, say, 9 months of the year that would be ~36-40 eps, and would allow it to better run alongside the manga, without "losing" people. It would only require one short 4-5 episode filler arc once a year to stay fast paced and in-line.

In Japan, One Piece is as successful as it is because of the manga. Strong World helped too, but that was because Oda was the producer and they marketed the FUCK out of it.

One Piece will continue to be popular as long as the manga is super godlike.

I like the dub but its only halfway through, the sub is good. This wont compare to Bleach and Naruto though since its much slower paced, but its still amazing nevertheless.

I found the dub super distracting since Funimation used almost the exact same cast as DBZ, but outside of that it's perfectly serviceable.

Probably easier to watch the sub since you'd have to switch over at some point anyway. The Funi dub isn't bad though. Stay FAR away from the 4kids one.

Well he is right, One Piece just can't be compared to these two. Naruto got the Sauce and Bleach got Aizen. One Piece got nothing.

I've been counting down all day. Hope the intro is amazing. It better be since this is officially part 2. It needs to be on par with "We Are."

I'm always a fan of new designs being revealed as the character appears, so I was pissed when Oda did his "callback to chapter 1" spread revealing all of the new designs at the beginning of the chapter -_-
