Hikare E (#3) is by far my favorite, and it's the only one I would watch all the way through every time. And it was there for so long. I was very sad when it changed, especially considering they changed it to bon voyage (#4), which is definitely my least favorite of all of them.

It's probably 4Kids fault for tainting the franchise so badly in the U.S. I know I was incredibly against it after I saw it on Cartoon Network once from 4Kids. It wasn't until someone INSISTED that I try it that I got 100% hooked.

Instead he picks people who appeal to him, picks fights with everyone who looks like they could level a mountain with a punch, and sets route to every stupid location no one else would bother with. Log Pose. That's why they can't skip. They haven't mentioned that in forever though.

Liar posted:I'm not sure about that. Roger would have been coming from East Blue anyway, so maybe it's only natural that they've shared a couple destinations, and the only places I'm aware of is Skypia and Water 7. Although it seems more likely that he didn't go to Skypia on his first pass, but rather came back that way since he'd seemingly mastered his Haki by then. Plus Roger would have had to travel to Krokus and then travel to turn himself in, so he would have needed a log pose. My guess is that someone like Roger surpassed the need for a log pose once he reached one piece. Or he dropped it off on his way to Logue town, as Krokus is right before it in the order of things.

jassa posted:Wasn't that log pose left at Little Garden (or maybe even destroyed) since it would have needed a year to reset? I know they got from LG to Alabasta using a special log pose, at least. A. We don't know how long Roger was at Little Garden (if we even was). We don't know how long his journey lasted so he very likely could have been there a year (or never there at all). B. It's not like you lose the log pose if you take an eternal pose to get off Little Garden. Your pose just gets reset at the next island.

Shadow0 posted:I know I'm supposed to suspend some of my belief, but I found a lot of her death silly. For her it was never about the actual signatures, but about the hardships she and her people went through to obtain them. Asking people to resign is like asking people to relive their horrible past. That section of town is above their "sea level" and fairly isolated from water (Hence all the mermaids in the scene using the bubble tubes). The signatures were proof the fishmen were willing to live above ground to the world government. Also, the signatures represented the queen's hard work, passion, and connection to the people. On a side note, I also thought her death scene was fantastic. A little heavy handed on the symbolism (3 princes, 3 flaming boxes, etc, etc) but overall paced well and certainly a stylistic take on the art.

I find it hard to believe he beheaded Doffy so easily, but I don't know how he'd have survived that. Looking pretty much like Sabo will get the fruit next episode too I have to assume that he's logia type and his body is made of string.

Like when the straw hat bounties went out and all their families etc saw what they were up to. If you're on awful (iOS), hit quote, hit cancel, then quote the next post you wanna quote. They'll both be there. Alternatively, quote, copy, then paste. But that's if you're not lazy.

Havoc904 posted:I've got a friend that can't get into One Piece in the initial couple episodes. Does anyone have a suggestion on episode(s) to start with that might kickstart something? I was thinking something in Arlong Park. Arlong park is really where the anime hits its stride. But the arc is long and without the previous character building might not be as enjoyable. I’d really be pushing to get them to tough it out until then. Arlong starts at 31 and ends at 44. Otherwise Ussop’s arc (9-18) is what dragged me in.

This whole Oden and Roger sequence was so fantastic. Actually seeing a bunch of the journey we’ve been hearing hints about for 20 years was incredible. That last scene of all of them laughing with the old ED was so good. Plus Roger is basically Luffy. The way he ran to fight whitebeard, and the face he was making all excited while he ran, was such a Luffy parallel. I also appreciate that he was such a strong person, fruitless. Makes his strength that much more amazing.

Boba Pearl posted:I'm watching One Piece for the first time ever, and I just finished Episode 8, and I teared up a little when Shou Shou got his little bit of dog food from Luffy. I’ll post with you friend. Be prepared for a ton of those moments. If you think you care about those characters now, wait until another 50 eps or so. One piece has the best character development of any show I’ve ever watched. You also have the advantage of knowing during the lovely slow parts of the show that it’s worth it for how insanely awesome it’s been over the last year. Should make it less of a slog.

As great as this battle is likely to be (in the like year it’s going to take to start knowing the pacing), I’m very sad to leave Oden’s story behind. One of the best characters Oda has produced. And the whitebeard/roger sections were among some of the best episodes in the series. I wish there were more. I’m aware part of it is just finally getting to see it. But waiting legit 15+ years to see roger and crew, and getting such a wonderful set of episodes, makes me very happy. Toei is clearly giving great treatment to Wano and I hope it stays through the rest of the arc.

Probably to give them a chance to catch up. I haven’t read the manga, but I assume we have a shitload more high priority fights, and if they’re all animated like last ep they probably need breathing room.

Something huge happened in the manga this week. There’s been multiple front page posts over multiple days about it on Reddit. Some of those posts seem angry? Never seen that before for this show. It’s taking a lot of will power not to spoil it. Please don’t spoil it in this thread, just warning all to watch out for more frequent than normal spoilers.

I watch weekly and don’t read. There hasn’t been much going on for quite a while now. We’ve been in Onigashima for literally 2 years. The fighting at the gates started June 13, 2021. Outside of the absolutely excellent Gold Roger stuff and the initial Kaido/Luffy fighting, most everything else has been ok to bad. I’d say outside of the above there’s been maybe 10 good episodes over the last 2 years? Just not a lot going on so not a ton of discussion.

That was absolutely gorgeous. One of the most unique episodes they’ve done. Instant favorite. Edit: Fascinating. This EP was directed by an American. According to this article, OP has never had a non-JPN ep director. Now it make a lot of sense. Still doesn’t take away from it though. https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/ne...e-anime/.198985 Pilfered Pallbearers fucked around with this message at 07:21 on Jun 25, 2023 |

Julias posted:"Cuts" are an animation term for when the perspective changes or scene cuts to a different location or shot, such as when you go from a wide shot showing multiple people to a close up of a character's face. Yeah it’s this. Cuts mean static (or mostly static) backgrounds. Single shot with so much insane motion around the space means significantly more work and planning because the background has to move naturally with the result of the animation.

Though the Fish Man Island poneglyph is specifically an apology from Joyboy about not upholding his promise involving the giant ship Noah. Uh, I guess about everything? I wanted to brush up on lore without rewatching or reading the whole manga without spoiling what’s coming, but I do understand that’s a big ask.

Shadow0 posted:I can try. I might have some details wrong though. I for sure didn’t intend for some goon to take their time to write it up, so thanks this is certainly helpful. Shadow0 posted:Also, I keep forgetting to mention this, but: the lead up episodes to Red were really weird. I did see film Red. IIRC Uta was left there because there was risk of Tot musica being summoned anywhere Uta was. Or risk of someone with nefarious intentions capturing her and forcing Tot musica out via Uta so she had to be hidden away. And considering the world ending power, shanks had no choice. I take shank’s crews’ spooky vibe as the crew realizing they are there to kill shank’s daughter, who they view as a beloved crew member. Also, Gordon failing to destroy the sheet because of his true love of music isn’t even the 10th time someone has failed to do a task set for them because of their “love of x” in One Piece. Realistically, most of the OP movies are barely cannon to outright outside the realm of OP reality. For fucks sake the film showed Gear 5 and shank’s crew meeting luffy’s crew (however loosely), something that has been hyped for nearly the entire series.

Shadow0 posted:They were super creepy during the lead-in episodes on Windmill Island, which was before anyone knew the Tot Musica even existed. I imagine the world ending events thing is strictly down to power creep. How would anyone as powerful as Luffy struggle against anyone who didn’t have world ending power?
