Thought it was a very great introduction to the new world, and I'm loving the new eyecatch!

It's most likely temporary. If I remember back when they introduced the new eyecatches about 5 years ago, they had one for Luffy for like 5 episodes until they showed some for the rest of the crew.

Man, I can't wait for you anime only folks to see if you change your tune on Franky's design. I wasn't fond of it myself at first either, but it grows on you.

They keep dragging the fakehats out. It's getting really irritating.

They're not dragging them out at all.

I seem to be one of the few that actually likes Coby. He's a good kid.

What is with Nami's face in this episode? She doesn't have a traditional female Oda Nami face at all.

The only way I justify Oda's representation of transgender people is by imagining that they're actually a separate race of being in this universe who more closely resemble drag queens and that Sanji's aversion to them is considered in the same class as having an aversion to fishmen.

Seriously, those woman are the most ridiculous things ever. Compare:

A real MtF trans versus an Okama from One Piece. If this was an American show I would be outraged.

Still, most of the actual hatred of them only comes from Sanji and random enemy soldiers. Back in Impel Down they were portrayed as being good people respected by all, but that was back when they were just drag queens and not referred to as actual transsexual people like when Sanji went to their island. So while it's undefendable, it's still overlookable.

Still I'm getting sick of Sanji's nosebleed gag.

Huh? Did you watch Impel Down? Ivankov turned that dude into a total hot chick. Also, these aren't "real" transsexuals. The way I figure it, they're actual drag queens. I think the Impel Down section did trans community a lot of justice: mtf, ftm, drag queens, and drag kings respectively.


I think you're taking it too seriously and I find it absolutely hilarious. Sanji got a major boost from me, post-time skip as he continuously steals chapter after chapter of laughs.

Where's the proof that they're transsexuals and not just drag queens?

You don't care that he's making fun of them because you're not trans. That's fine for you, by all means, but can you seriously not see how someone who is might get offended by this? People read silly manga like One Piece to get distracted from reality, not to be reminded that a decent chunk of humanity literally thinks they're less than human.

Er...I have been diagnosed with gender identity disorder. How do you know anything about me?

As for the jokes, I'll admit that the anime is really dragging the jokes out. The manga didn't do it nearly as much as this. But...that's the anime for you.

Are you basing Oda's opinions off of the manga or the anime? Because this is very important.

The main problem is that there is a gap in the official episodes, between the old episodes and the currently streaming episodes on the funimation site, which I think are still unlicensed. I posted about it before for someone else who asked about a fansub.

Dude, good luck. You will be using google in heavy overtime because once you get past a certain point, you're going to be switching to at least 5 different groups. I'd suggest picking up the manga instead, and catching up that way rather than go through fansub tedium.
