Yep. It's not Excalibur BS. It's really enjoyable. All characters equally enjoyable.

Sorry guess I misunderstood.No, that's not- forget it

Wait I thought the Excalibur episode was canon to the manga?
FOOL!
I actually haven't seen Episode of Nami but I hear it's a good and worthwhile abridged version of the Arlong Park arc (31-44).

It covers the Arlong arc, which most consider to be the first really good arc in the series. It's like episodes 30-43ish or something.
How much of the manga have you read? You should definitely get to where it is in the storyline, so just finish up to the Baratie arc if you haven't.

Only seen snippets of the nami film, but the anime version of a certain scene aka the scene that makes the arc is way better then the film version. For me music is a make or break point so I'd just watch the anime version.
Besides if you're committing yourself to watching op you should watch all of op
Read 2 volumes, actively disliked it.
So you never got to Arlong, where everybody agrees it gets good.

getting up to Arlong might be a bit of a trek, but if you do not like that arc you can safely choose to never bother with the series ever again from what i've seen so far.
speaking of One Piece music, they played We Are again as the episode was closing when they were
. it was AMAZING. and i don't even like We Are. what has this song done to me?

You'll have to read 6 more. The arc ends at chapter 68 (or episode 30 if you go the anime route).
Man, I sure love how Hulu will play an ad in full and then crash, forcing a reload and another ad
Good job with that technical stuff Hulu
/edit okay, Luffy and Sanji just beat the shit out of a giant sea cow serpent for no particular reason. I'm good.
/edit Yeah, this arc is rocketing along a lot nicer. I think it's because they split up the cast but they all have interesting stuff going on all at the same time. Well, Sanji and Luffy's isn't that interesting, but it is hilariously dumb so I can excuse it.

Mwahahahahahaha. Hook, line, and sinker.
It's only one week though. On Netflix it's listed as the start of "Part 2."

Sounds like something Arlong would say

Humans are so pathetic. We Fishmen are so much more superior that we instantly recognize what a great series One Piece is.

Bellemere. Bellamy is someone totally different
Skip the Apis arc, which follows Loguetown. You'll know it when you see it. An annoying little girl in a stupid hat shows up on the ship

The only real issue with Episode of Nami if you're not caught up on the anime is that it ends with a scene that roughly equates to episode 520 or so. Otherwise it's a pretty straight-forward, slightly condensed version of the Arlong Arc.

the Grand Line is surrounded by two Calm Belts, which have no wind at all and are filled with massive sea monsters.
done. now he can skip it. also, the guy Nami murders on Reverse Mountain was the villain from the filler arc.
50-51, though 50 is sort of semi-canon. It was actually going to be in the manga but Oda took it out for pacing reasons, and it explains where Usopp got the googles he'll be using from now on.
54-60. 54-55 do include an important canon segment about the Calm Belt, though. The first 10 minutes or so of 61 is also filler, but the second half of the episode is extremely important canon.
98-99
101-102
131-143
196-206 (this is the best filler arc in One Piece by far, YMMV)
That's everything up to the Toonami run.

it definitely slowed down my pace for watching the episodes, though.
According to a Naruto filler list I found through Google, if they truncate the backloaded filler in Naruto, there's less than 10 filler episodes (out of 135?). Toonami does acknowledge this in their FAQ, and while they aren't 'worried' about it now, at least they are aware of it.
Shippuden has plenty of filler though (and it sucks, go figure).
Also, I think FUNi nailed Bellamy's voice. It fits so well with his eyes.
I'm really hoping Toonami skips the Naruto filler.
Funi did a great job with all the voices in OP so far, I really want to see who they get to do
