It has to be less than 3 years overall because the characters have only aged two years. Luffy was 17 when the show started and he is 19 after the timeskip.

I caught up with the show during Impel Down, and I feel like Marineford was dragging way more than Fishman Island has so far. Are they actually only getting in one chapter an episode?

I've always kind of wanted them to go back and redo the old stuff to match the current art style. Thinking about it, doing some OVA's of the important stuff is much more feasible and a really cool idea

I was thinking more along the lines of putting stuff into Widescreen/HD, but I 100% agree with you that the female anatomy has become nearly unbearable. I would take first episode human looking Nami over current Nami any day.

SatansBestBuddy posted:Cowboy Bebop, Baccano!, Full Metal Alchemist and Panty & Stocking are all much more enjoyable in English than in Japanese, otherwise it's typically a matter of taste. I only ever call a dub better if the voices fit the characters better than the originals, they have a good localization that isn't afraid to change poo poo if it makes things easier to understand/funnier, and overall work to make the show as good if not better than if they had produced it themselves. As you can tell by my list, the shows that get that kind of treatment aren't many, but they do exist. Exactly. I never said the Funimation dub was "bad" it just isn't as good as the original voice actors. To me it's like the English voice actors are just doing their best imitation of the characters. Also I can't imagine they can even get anyone that can do Franky justice. Most of all though I think it depends on what you have watched more of. I was absolutely fine with the 4kids voices when I was younger. It wasn't until I had watched the show in Japanese that I realized how horrible they were.

Dukeofdummies posted:Man if anyone ever does a dub of Franky they better be able to do the SUUUUPER right or god damnit I could not stand it. I could be completely wrong on this, but as I understand it, Oda actually wrote Franky specifically with Kazuki Yao because he liked his work on Jango and Mr. 2 so much. I don't think anyone can do it like him.

Aesop Poprock posted:I'm watching Strong World for the first time and the fan service is loving ridiculous. Nami might as well not even be wearing clothes. What the hell, Oda? I don't even know if it's fanservice as much as it's just Oda being perverted. Until recently I would have said One Piece is my favorite series far and beyond anything else, but Hunter x Hunter has been really refreshing if only for the fact that every single character doesn't have watermelons strapped to her chest.

Are they just starting from the beginning? That could be cool to introduce people to the series who are intimidated be the 500+ episodes. Other than that I can't see any reason for this.

I would be really interested in seeing something about a previous owner of a devil fruit we've already seen. Actually I'm kind of surprised that we haven't heard of anything like that. The devil fruits can make people so powerful I'm sure there are tons of legends/stories about them. I want to see the person who had the Gum-Gum fruit before Luffy Senor Candle fucked around with this message at 19:05 on Sep 24, 2012 |

This is only a small spoiler I think, but for everyone getting annoyed with Nami and Robin's clothing situations, part of the next arc will take place somewhere very cold.

Foxy showing up the first time isn't filler. The next two times he does show up is filler. also We Are! was only the opening for like 47 episodes. Are you watching this in English?

Zombie Samurai posted:Yeah, but it's not like they can catch up now. It seems like they're keeping pace for the most part, so if they went back to 2 chapters per episode, they'd just have to slow back down once they got within a few chapters of current. Or worse, they might have to slow down even more if Oda has a couple skipped weeks for illness or whatever.

Maybe in a decade or so we'll finally have a One Piece anime with great pacing Yeah right. Maybe in 10 years One Piece will be over EDIT: I understand why they won't switch to seasons it just bums me out because it could be so much better.

Shadow0 posted:I noticed it, too, that Master uses the word "candy" despite the fact that Japanese has at least two other words they use more often and have an easier time pronouncing. It could be because these aren't typical candies, ie Master is giving them a name like how Kleenex isn't just any tissue paper. I'm pretty sure they also have words for stuff like "Super" and "Skull Joke". It's more of a stylistic thing when they use English words sometimes I think.

Drakkel posted:As for devils fruits: Also it seems likely that each devil fruit is based on a specific kind of fruit, and when a user dies the power goes into another fruit of the same type. Smiley's fruit was shaped like an apple, so they had a ton of apples nearby just to be sure it appeared there. The marines should know this right? Why didn't they have fruits on hand to recapture Ace's power? Shouldn't that be common practice when executing devil fruit users?

Crazyeyes posted:Presumably they didn't know what kind of fruit Ace's fruit originated from? CC created Smiley so he could have known it was an apple. Isn't there an encyclopedia of all of the fruits? If not then just get a bunch of fruits and hope for the best.

Yeah when they first get the fruit it takes a while to train their body to have that response. If Ace's body was 100% flames all the time he would have a pretty hard time sailing around on wooden ships.

Every other time we've seen a Logia user they've trained for years to the point that they can go intangible on instinct. Exactly. Especially at this point in the show, you didn't get this far if you can't even manage basic skills like that.

Allarion posted:Well, the anime did give the next arc, the Sabaody Archipelago Arc, justice in terms of emotional impact in my opinion. Though I could just be thinking solely of the climax of it, which the anime tends to do better at than at the buildup parts of an arc, which tends to have padding. Yeah, without going into spoilers, the confrontation in the Auction House should absolutely be watched. It's one of the best parts in the whole anime. It is episode 296.
