I understand the sentiment behind it but going from the anime, full color, motion, and not drawn by Oda to the black and white manga static image drawn by Oda with speech bubbles... is really REALLY jarring and takes you out of the episode entirely... if you really insist upon doing this... I recommend having someone actually colorize the manga page in the anime style so that it looks like it belongs with the rest of the episode.
If you can't find an image that is colored the right way so that it feels like it belongs with the rest of the episode... it might be better just to not bother with the inclusion of the manga page in the future... I love this project, and I want you guys to keep going... but I gotta give my opinion and criticism when I feel it necessary and... random manga page in the episode just... looks terrible...
Yeah, the criticism is fine. It helps us improve the project.
Anyways yeah, we'll try our best to find something that fits for that scene
.Spoiler:
That's the one I found. English would be gone of course.
PM me the biggest version of the page you have please. You guys have a little bit still until you get there right?
Let me remove the speech bubbles and SFX entirely please. I can do it in a way that looks good and will make sure the scene looks like it belongs with everything going around it. This is one thing I'm really really good at (Not to toot my own horn... but just... Look at this and this.)

Yeah, we're currently up to 554, and we won't release again until at the earliest Tuesday, due to Sewil's absense.
The manga panel was thankfully not as bad as I feared, only there for about 1 second. Still, I agree with Rin in that if it must be used, perhaps some quality colorizing would make it seem less jarring. I'm fine with the speech bubbles and text there.
Yeah, I agree with Rin & Mr. Luffy. I'm not against adding the manga panel in place of the horribly butchered animated one, but only if it's coloured. That one you linked to earlier where they arrive in the New World would be perfect.
I already have one at home from da without speech bubbles and text.
I love the idea, but i'dd recomend keeping some changes the anime did instead of using still images, some things just can't be fixed, unless you can animate it from scratch of course.
What does jarring nean
That something is really sudden that it it kind of shakes up up. Like if you're sitting in your room and a really loud clap of thunder comes out of nowhere and it makes you jump; you might say that the thunder was jarring.
Personally I had no issues with it.
Keep on with the fantastic work!
Oh okay, thanks for explaining.
Anyway, I can show you guys the photo we'll probably use (unless too much complaint) for the arrival to the New World.

So anyway, I'm back home now and will probably start working on episode 16 tomorrow.
Also, a new site is up and is under construction, and is using wordpress as a template.
Check it out here: http://onepace.netau.net
I haven't finished customizing it yet but it will be finished soon probably.
Episode status will be updated there and all links will be provided on new releases.
Ok, if that's the one you're using, can you PM me the biggest version you have of it? I can remove the speech bubbles entirely from that no problem and it would look much more like it belongs with the rest of the anime.
Gonna have to scrap the work I already did on the one I've been sent already, but that one won't be nearly as much work (Because the images of the Straw Hats at the bottom doesn't have to be involved)
