The off-model-ness is really painful, but the script and direction seems okay

 

[Shard]

Yea, Arlong Park was quite depressing.

 

[ckohler]

I am certainly learning things.

 

[mightynine]

Aw man, just this flashback is giving me some feels.

 

[Moaradin]

I wanted to forget this part ;_;

 

[Schadenfreude]

;_;

 

[BassForever]

For those who didn't see the first 200 episodes of OP

Bellemere is Nami's adoptive mother, she was killed by a fishman named Arlong who dominated the island she grew up on. Nami joined his pirate crew to raise money to buy back the village.

 

[Raxus]

Backstory. After backstory!

 

[Seda]

Bellemere ;_;

 

[Doctor Decimate]

this looks completely on-model compared to some of the shit i've seen, guys.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

OK this is kinda clever as a way to recap things I guess. Maybe. Even if it still sucks.

 

[Jintor]

Actually... was that flashback ever actually seen before?

 

[blitzwolf215]

Arlong arc was so sad but so good

 

[Azure J]

Oh God, flashbacks. Time to (potentially) ;_; face.

 

[Zonic]

BELLEMERE HAD A CIGARETTE ORIGINALLY!?!

..............man, it's been so many years since I saw the 4Kids version. Least it wasn't a "sucker"...

 

[BatDan]

If I recall, the off-model was really bad this arc. That's what happens when Toei does their own material without Oda's panels.

 

[Shard]

It helps that we are not watching the Straw Hats play red-light, green light.

 

[thetechkid]

Aw man, just this flashback is giving me some feels.

Welcome to OP, this happens every arc.

 

[RagnarokX]

Luffy recognizes Chopper as a reindeer? Should think he's a tanuki or something.

 

[Seda]

Actually... was that flashback ever actually seen before?

I don't think so. I believe it was a new scene. A filler scene of course if that's the case.

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Chopper smash

 

[Schadenfreude]

Oh Chopper. So adorable.

 

[BassForever]

Chopper is so kawii :3

 

[Lost_In_Translation]

Whee, watching Naruto tonight reminded me just how much I loved the Chuunin exam arc.

And here's hoping FMA: Brotherhood stays on Toonami a long while. It'd be a shame for them to lose it.

 

[SparksterMeta0]

CHOPPER SMASH!

 

[Rewrite]

Shut up, Chopper.

 

[Raxus]

Creepy Luffy.

 

[Shard]

Never cared for that particular character quirk of Chopper.

 

[ThatObviousUser]

Luffy recognizes Chopper as a reindeer? Should think he's a tanuki or something.

Chopper told him he was a reindeer earlier.

 

[Jintor]

Oh, Robin remembered where Zoro was

 

[Azure J]

I can't be the only one who heard the "took a bite of Gum Gum" line when Luffy said that.

 

[Amikami]

Hey, You stole Sauce's line...or did he still yours?

 

[Unspeakable Evil]

Wait Sanji's didn't know Zoro before.

 

[Schadenfreude]

Robin should have just sung the 4Kids opening.

His name is Luffy.
That's Monkey D. Luffy.
Gonna be king of the pirates!
He's made of rubber. How did that happen?
Yo-ho-ho he took a bite of Gum Gum.

 

[GaimeGuy]

I had no idea One Piece was so old.

Well it's up to Chapter ~720 as a weekly series.

Doing the math, and assuming no breaks, that puts it around the late 90s for a debut.

 

[thetechkid]

You just gave me memory cancer.

 

[CrazyTank940]

so I missed the first 10 minutes, I'm guessing Robin is the only one who's memory didn't end up in the recycle bin

 

[Doctor Decimate]

poor Nami ;-;

 

[BassForever]

Except Luffy remembers all that lol

 

[BatDan]

Like I said earlier, it debuted in Jump in 1997. Yeah, it's been running for a while.

lol Nami immediately reverting to #masterplan status

 

[Order]

One Piece is older than Nauto? Jeeeez

 

[Shard]

Reference point, that gold was the grand summation of the Skypeia Arc. As was the Jet Ski.

 

[Rewrite]

Dat budget Nami.

 

[Raxus]

Wait Sanji's didn't know Zoro before.

He was infamous in all the east blue.

 

[Jintor]

pffft, Zoro and his swords

That wasn't horrible. Much better than that other filler arc I sat through in OP... can't remember what it was anymore.

 

[Azure J]

Abandoning ship in the most amazing fashion here.

 

[BatDan]

One down, six to go.

 

[Amikami]

Well it's up to Chapter ~720 as a weekly series.

Yeah, from what I hear it's started in 1997 before Naruto which was '99? Also, from the sounds of it, it will long out-live Naruto.

 

[Doctor Decimate]

that actually wasn't so bad.
