Alabasta is excellent, skypiea is even better , water 7 comes after it's even better then both, all the arcs later achieve a higher level of greatness.
I can understand someone not liking skypiea that much since it's world building heavy, the main focus being the land of skypiea it's history & it's inhabitants then about main characters(the strawhats).
stare... into the one true face of evil
The Power rangers aren't evil.
No it's still Yui.
The real worst girl thankfully hasn't appeared much this season.
Thanks for the episode number and the words of hype. I'll probably tackle some of it tonight.
I am usually a lot more interested in the central plot than I am about world-building. I could care less about the Skypeia, and the side characters did nothing for me. It was just way too long.
This is really the main problem. The leadup and setting were both great but it was hard to continue caring when you spend 50 episodes doing next to nothing.

Thinking about watching Kimi ni Todoke. Is it going to be mostly cute and fluffy like the first episode, or is it going to turn into nonstop Evil Bitches plotting against her and constant misunderstandings like Peach Girl?
I dunno, replacing way too much of the yuri sisters with way too much Chinatsu seems like breaking even to me.

I suppose the twist of just mixing up the pairings was a way to make the show slightly less boring. The fake lesbians need to be shaken up much more though. lol
Well holy god damned fuck. That makes perfect sense.
Am I the only one who noticed the derpy clerk just staring blankly into space? WHAT DOES IT MEAN? I'M CURIOUS.

The setting wasn't all that good either though. Well it was, then it became little garden redux.
If you think there is such a thing as "way too much Chinatsu" I'm going to have to revoke your avatar.

, the whole wire mesh on the net was just odd, perhaps I was too focused on the episode but it like kept vanihsing in places, is it that hard to draw and keep the net on the characters? Pan is fun and hopes he sticks around.

If only they were real lesbians. lol
Mostly cute and fluffy. There is a fair bit of the plotting stuff but even that generally ends up with everyone becoming bff's.

I was referring to the clerk dozing off! Misquoted, but I guess it works either way!

Well, there is quite a bit of "evil bitches" stuff though. Although it's not completely dramatic, and Sawako deals with it nicely.
ehh...there was actually lot happening each episode thanks to the arc kicking off in fully gear very early on and the
straws being separated, a lot was happening with each of them exploring the land and running into challenges, theres always something happening with the 3 sided war focusing on the shandra warriors, enel group and the sky citizens being mixed up in it
Accusing it of nothing happening is bizarre, I can sort of understand too much but nothing yeah that's really bizarre.
-it was long but not 50ep it was 40.

Okay, I can probably deal with that. I don't watch many shojo series, but Peach Girl was just way too stressful. I don't know if I could handle another show like that. The first episode of Kimi seemed like it could go either way with everyone making fun of her at first, but then apologizing later.

Definitely off to a good start here. Chirico is definitely not your average mecha anime protagonist. This should be a fun series, but seeing as it's 52 episodes I'll probably be taking my time.

I'm curious, did you actually finish Skypiea? Not saying you have to because its plot significance still hasn't really come into play, but probably will be important at some point down the line.
Yeah, I was able to complete the Skypeia arc. I became too burnt out on One Piece after it though.

Makes sense.
By skipping to 225, you will be skipping the Davy Back Fight arc, but that's fine as it is literally the ONLY canon arc in the series with absolutely no bearing on the overarching plot (unless you count a single mention later on that doesn't really affect anything).
noro noro beam joke,cotton candy and the man riding a bike on water.
Davy back fight arc is really short anyways.

I dont know, Davy Back was just inhibited from being really enjoyable because again it was just too long that one just stops caring. I liked the Zoro Sanji, but that was just given such short time. I guess the running theme of Skypeia and there after is that they make the arcs too long.
Not short enough, since they add more events to the anime version.
Filler within filler.
There's a trailer for Kimi ni Todoke on the second disc of Bunny Drop. It somehow makes it seem even more shoujo than it actually is.

The dub could have been worse, I suppose, in the way that 4Kids One Piece could have been worse. It's pretty difficult to imagine them making something much worse, though. The beautiful soundtrack was replaced with some generic garbage, the script was mangled beyond recognition, and pretty much every character had a complete personality transplant. Not to mention all of the terrible "comedy" inserted into every single dramatic scene. It's up there as one of the very worst post-Sailor Moon dubs for me.
It probably helps being a dumb kid who doesn't know better.
It's not that bad, and S2 gets the to point after re-introductions rather quickly (1 - 1 1/2) episodes. The cliffhanger thing is really over exaggerated though; They (S1)
go back to space at the end of S1
Edit: I quoted your wrong post, but w/e. Glad you like it though! This is why we're bros. All my other bros have jumped ship on me.

Too much Chinatsu, not enough Ayano. Other than that... not much to this episode beyond Kyouko's epic greeting of Himawari. XD

But it was, like, super cool and stuff. Probably one of my favorite shows as a kid.

If the anime ditched all the fanservice stuff (girls imagining themselves naked in a hot spring with exposed boobs underwater, unconscioudly visualizing themselves in extremely revealing battle outfits, etc) then it could really be an actually good and compelling magic school anime. There were great action moments though, and Kaidou is stikk good as well as Akkii. I cant wait to see how the battles go down...and nice for the fandom, came across a Kaidou/Akki image (cant link), which is good, considering the anime.

they added some games and changed some of it up, but in the end it was only 11eps, i know a lot shorter in the manga.

Then there's some body swap fun with Yami and Mikan, and with Rito and some dog.
Fun stuff.
The flatter girls of Rito's harem try to make their boobs bigger in very weird ways. To my misfortune, it doesn't work.
But she's an alien, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion just yet.

This might be true but then nobody would watch it anymore.
You can get fan service anywhere.
I only watch it because of the ridiculousness of the main character.
