I don't really like Sanji's because it doesn't match his hair color. :/ As far as the swords go, he lost his other sword he bought in Loguetown. The cursed one has the unique pattern. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9_sf5smizaY The white sword he will obviously always have. And he has the super heavy, super strong said to be able to survive being stepped on by an elephant or a dinosaur or something black sword from the zombie.

Gyges posted:Yeah, this is the same place where we learned that Enel made it to the Moon and had adventures with Moon Men. Also where we saw the continuing adventures of CP9 following their beating at the hands of the Straw Hats. Aww, I feel like we're missing out. I also agree, Coby is there to show the Luffy affect very early on. He also sets up the whole Luffy is my friend/enemy/rival thing, too, that a lot of characters share. I have a hard time believing he was a throw-away later rewritten. I also like him now that he's more powerful, perhaps because I hated him sooo much when I first met him. I was actually surprised how early they came back, I definitely predicted their return though.

Endorph posted:If the joke was at Sanji's expense, then there'd be at least some people there who weren't horrifically ugly, and the other characters wouldn't react the same way. I think they're beautiful.  Gyges posted:Yeah, it was slightly tolerable when it was Sanji on their island. Oh ho, the ladies man is now surrounded by gay cross-dressers. How delightfully "ironic". But defeating an entire squad of Marines with the power of their super icky kisses and terminatoresque drive for affection jettisons the idea's kernel of non-horribleness into the ionosphere. This is why I can't watch One Piece in public. I think, but I could be wrong, that Japan is more tolerant (well, everyone has to be more tolerant than America), but it is unfortunate that the Newkamalites are reduced to just jokes about their hideousness/whatever. I do think it was initially to poke fun at Sanji. He loves women, so making them excessively manly makes it funnier I suppose. But we do have people like Ivankov, that orange dude, and Mr 2 to break up any stereotypes they are trying to make. I had been definitely thinking it for a while what kind of stereotype the show is building. But aside from the side-characters, I think overall the main characters are likable, so there's that at least. And I like to think they are just scaring/beating up a bunch of homophobes. It's not like Luffy had a problem when he was among them. Redcrimson posted:Poor Tashigi... Go for the Harem End, Zoro!

Eiba posted:I've felt the same way about Oda's female character designs for ages. They're really lovely- actually worse than a lot of other anime and manga, as mind numbing as that concept is. One Piece remains my favorite shounen, and something I dearly love all the same. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gc0KjmZjuXg I've been thinking that for a while. I really liked Nami's old design better, when I first watched the show, after watching Bleach for year, I was happy to see how they drew Nami. But that didn't last. Robin, too, has been malformed over the years. It's a shame. I think though that they still remain respectable characters with motivations, character, and strength, so I can't complain too much. I think that overall One Piece is still progressive, but without abandoning cliche jokes. Still, I feel like Nami is going to create a Barbie effect for Japan. At least we don't have crying and "Kurosaki-kun" every episode.

CubanMissile posted:I'm of the opinion now that if you keep the same favorite character week after week then One Piece isn't the right show for you because they are all amazing. I'm not going to lie - Chopper is my least favorite straw hat. He's gotten less annoying to me recently, and even somewhat funny, but he still can't compare. He's like 4, doesn't belong with the others, I hate the way he's drawn, and his power makes no sense. What part of human human fruit do you get horn powers from? And worse yet, I'm visiting Japan right now, and he's plastered over *everything!* He's more popular than rice!

I only really liked the first few movies and 10. I can't pick a favorite, maybe 1 or 2, but I can say which was the worst for me: 6. I vaguely liked the idea of the Strawhats fighting each other, an island that destroys friendships in a series where it is so important sounds like it should be amazing. But it was just so poorly carried out and the art was so weird, too. e: Sorry, I'm stupid. Fixed my tags. Also, had my numbers wrong. 3 was kind of lame.

WhiffleballDude posted:I definitely like 6 but it's just too weird for me to be honest. My favorites are 10, 4, and 9. Bottom are definitely 1, 3, and 8. 2's alright. I felt like the first few were concentrated One Piece. Maybe it was because I was watching them during the peak of "Oh poo poo, we're catching up to the manga but don't want to do filler" so it felt good to see something more fast-paced. The 6th movie looked like they were drawing something else and then pasted One Piece over it.

At the end of the day, I'd just like to be able to watch One Piece in public. "One Piece Anime Thread 4: New World! Anyone Remember Where We Parked?" You really need to watch the anime to see how painful it is to watch. It's not funny; it's overdone; and it's just annoying to sit through. I understand the joke is watching Sanji squirm. I highly doubt Oda means any offense. But goddamn are the scenes not funny and there is little doubt in my mind that they are enforcing negative stereotypes. Japan is not a very diverse nation and the LGBTQQA et al. group has a lot of discrimination already stacked against it. Furthermore, though it's super widely popular all across Japan, this is a show aimed at youth. I don't expect OP to be some kind of super anime which explores the human experience and what it means to be diverse or whatever, but it's just plain offensive and unfunny.

Appachai posted:An interesting aside: In case any of you are curious like I was, I tried to translate them. I can't guarantee 100% accurate translation though. It's pretty hard to read, but the ones I can read: Luffy says: "Eat salad" "The one that will become the pirate king is me!!" Zoro says: "Three sword-style?" (I think) "Impossible, my teeth would break completely" Nami's is too hard to read (does someone have a better scan?) Ussopu's is also too hard to read Sanjis says: "Sweets are my specialty (you know)" Chopper says: (I think) "Doctor! Ah! It's me!" Robin's I can't figure out at all and it's hard to read Franky says: "Isn't this week's me suuuuuuperrrrrr?" And Brook is just confused. I'd like to figure out what the other's are saying... Incidentally, I'm not sure hormones would work on Brook.  ?

tsob posted:I think we all grew used to that particular failing of Odas a long time ago. It's quiet weird when you look at the first few volumes and see the slim, tomboyish Nami and then compare it to how she's...grown over the years admittedly, but it's been happening with so long I doubt most people even think about it much anymore. Oh, no, I noticed. Whenever I get the chance, I complain how the old Nami looked so much better. Also, as soon as Luffy went in and started bouncing around on a mysterious boob-shaped substance, I knew what was coming. Oda really had no where to go except to make them big enough to walk on. Robin and Nami are on their way.

Gyges posted:For me the last couple of episodes have played straight through without commercials for some reason. I hope it's something that continues, because really why are you showing me the same ad 5 times in a row? If you're a villain from Austin Powers, you might be convinced by the third time in a row. I think the problem is there aren't enough sponsors. It's been increasing though, so maybe I won't have to hear the Windows PC commercial anymore. Or at least get more than two commercials... or those drat Skittles commercials...

I think he means in countries where there is the official streaming, those people should support the official streaming. If it is available completely free in your country, why not watch the official stream and put up with ads so One Piece can stay funded? If you have to have the high quality, buy the DVDs. (Do they have subbed box sets?)

I'd suggest picking up the manga instead, and catching up that way rather than go through fansub tedium. That wasn't my experience. I was US-based though. If you find the right site, they'll host all the various subbers in one place for you, just keep looking. It might have changed by now, too, though.

oilatsnep posted:Would be great if the manga-speak was kept out of this thread. It's good enough that it's in spoilers tags but god drat it's annoying having half the new posts in here talking about manga spoilers. I agree. I think the manga-speak belongs better in the manga thread. If you're going to combine the topic of the anime and manga I think it makes more sense to discuss it in the manga thread where everyone is on the same page. Pun intended. Then you don't need to spoiler it because everyone in the manga thread knows everything the anime people know and the manga people know. I know a lot of people say it doesn't belong in the manga thread because it's talking about upcoming things in the anime, but you're very clearly discussing the manga at that point and not the anime and it just ruins the upcoming episodes for a lot of us that don't read the anime. That's just my opinion though.

I know I'm supposed to suspend some of my belief, but I found a lot of her death silly. First off, you can just recollect the signatures. It's not like people wouldn't redo all the signatures, those kids even had their second versions filled out. Second off, how hard is it to put out a fire when you live 10,000 meters under the sea? And lastly, why do they even need the signatures? I guess the World Government wanted them, but when has that ever been a democracy? I guess all those details aren't very important, but they bothered me.

That was a very interestingly animated episode. They definitely played around a lot more with the visuals this episode. I'm kind of hoping Brook could kind of show off more and earn his place among the legendary Strawhats, but he's just kind of a weak Zorro right now. After his two year training, he was defeated by a single kick and a punch. I guess it was supposed to be for comedic effect more than an evaluation of his skill. At least he's funny.

Thinking about it, doing some OVA's of the important stuff is much more feasible and a really cool idea I've always kind of wanted them to go back and redo the new stuff to match the old art style. Especially the female character designs. There is not a single reasonably-shaped woman left in the One Piece world, it's just ridiculous looking. Some of the movement animations are kind of wonky with that one animator in my opinion, too.
