Wait how is critiquing the composition nonsensical
comparing a scene to a panel doesnt make sense
You obviously don't know what you're talking about. They're both still images. One's from a cartoon and the other's a drawing from a comic. This isn't like comparing an imaginary scene in a book with someone else's interpretation in a movie. There's no valid reason why they should look so drastically different. Toei's managed to do justice to these types of panels before (as my examples showed). And with that being the case, it's completely justifiable to criticize them when they screw up a panel that badly. Now I'm just wondering why the hell you keep defending Toei and that abominable depiction of Oda's work.

Look for me on the local news, I'll be the guy arrested for trying to burn down a Nintendo exec's house.
Wow calm down duder, its a weekly cartoon. Lets see you keep that kind of pace up with shot for shot quality.
Anyway, as others have said, next week looks to be the tight knit "bad ass" shot, while this episode concerned itself more with space and showing where all the characters were on the stage and how/where they assemble. Not everything works just jammed together as manga panels in an organically moving show, and certain animation directors have certain styles and ways of doing things. Oda's own artwork sometimes fluctuates massively with scales, while certain animators stick to that stuff as a religion.
Its a shame theyre on one episode per one chapter, but their hands were kinda tied from the beginning of Shabondy to after Fish-Man Island for any potential filler insertion, so I understand.

And I posted stating that your examples look just as bad

30,000 humans captured and the marines did nothing at all? What a terrible job they do. Good build up episode. Will see 553 eventually.

They got caught underwater on their way to FI, plus they're pirates. If anything, the marines would be happy.

I think they are extremely minor issues to be honest, and its odd to compare a panel to a scene.

Luffy going to knock you out like a Boss. Music at the end was the best. Was there some synthesizer? Sort of sounded like some of the songs in the first Mass Effect but with horns.

I know it's way too late here, but since you were replying to me originally, let me be clear. You said you "didn't care much for the way they showed the Straw Hats." The showing of the straw hats in the anime was not a single shot. It was an entire scene. The no-face intros for each character, their one-liners, the musical choices, finally culminating in that shot. I think that the scene in question, as composed in the anime, is superior as a whole to the single manga panel you are referencing. And since all you said was "how they showed the Straw Hats," I think it is fair. You did not imply that you were talking only about a shot-for-shot comparison of that one manga panel. Obviously the manga image is better than the anime screenshot there. Luckily the anime did not show the Straw Hats with only that still shot. That's all.
Basically an explanation episode with a badass ending. I suppose that those things did need explaining though.
Nice to see that Zoro and Sanji are familiar with Haki now. Wouldn't be surprised if they learned how to use some Haki techniques themselves, given who theytrained with. Not to mention Sanji was able to deduce that there were 100,000 in a couple of seconds (Observaton Haki)?

That was pretty epic. Luffy always makes some of the best and memorable entrances and then that attack wow. Even more when Zoro and Sanji stepped off Thousand Sunny, need to see 554 right now!

Bah I was pumped for 554 and then they only talk and there's one attack at the end

555 should be the really good stuff.
It was pretty funny for them to pop up and then just screw around without giving a shit about anyone.

So when will they arrive in the new world in the anime? Around wich episode?
No problem, just don't highlight the spoiler below
So long as we still follow one episode per chapter of the manga, they should emerge into the New World in episode 574.

Isnt there a special nami filler episode or two coming up anyway?
That's assuming the individual fights for each Straw Hat aren't lengthened in the anime, and that they don't show
the battle between Aokiji and Akainu
This is pretty much how they do all the big battles. It took months for Luffy to actually get to battle Lucci at Enies Lobby.
I hope so.

Subs of episodes 206 (final episode of G8) and Episode 207 (first DBF episode and first widescreen one) will be up on the FUNi OP site for free viewing on July 14. One Piece Official is typically one week ahead of the regular FUNi OP site so we may see these two episodes up as soon as this weekend.
Just found out from AP Forums.

If it didn't take so long they'd be in deep shit since the manga is only one arc ahead.

Both. The manga up to the point of the newest episode, spoiler and mark manga spoilers for any discussion beyond the point of the newest episode.
It wasn't even an entire chapter. It was like 9 pages of a chapter. Some parts weren't even in the manga (Kung-Fu Point Chopper and Robin's multi-clutch)

Yep. August 25th. 2 Hours long. Basically what Toei did with Movie's 8 & 9 but for the Arlong Arc. Should be great having it all in a movie format and HD.
Of course I'm not sure Funimation will stream it. Might not be formally part of the TV series even if it airs at the same time.
! This is airing on network right? Or theatres? Nami's backstory was easily one of the best.

Yo dawg, I heard you like flashbacks, so I put a flashback inside of a flashback so you can reflect while the characters reflect.
Wait, what?
*googles*
WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT. This is my first time hearing about this. I can't take this much hype. Please don't fuck this up, Toei. The Arlong Park arc is extremely special to me.
Will it have Franky/Robin/etc?

Its airing on network. But on Saturday night rather than Sunday morning. Hence why I doubt Funimation will put it up at all.
Nope. Just original crew with their original character designs. As far as we currenlty know, its just Arlong Park arc in movie format and reanimated in HD.

What a horrible episode. It had very poor animation quality and too much fluff. The episode felt soulless.

They ruined Sanji and Zoro's attacks/reveals. But thats the norm in these padding episodes.

I'm more appalled at the animation quality. It was so lazy and bad in general. Quite possibly the worst animated episode that I could recall.
