I like tea/gentleman Franky. Not as awesome though.
Next episode we get Chopper and Sanji.
FUNimation Simulcast Discussion

Awesome awesome awesome! I watched the simulcast for the first time and with NO buffering! Franky's dance=awesome btw
-
Got through the entire episode with no problems, looks like it's my lucky week.
Best Moments:
! Bishonen Luffy
Hancock's girlish glee.
Nami throwing things at the old man.
Cyclone Burst (HELL YES)
"Right, Reft, Right, Reft"
Gentlemen Franky -
Well, I had a few problems, but I still got to watch it pretty close to the time it was uploaded. The first time it freezed on the FUNimation logo. I reloaded it and it was having syncing errors. I skipped beyond the intro and had no problems after that.
-
Kept stopping on the funimation logo for a bit, but then everything was smooth sailing.
Gentleman Franky = win. And did anyone else notice that Nami was wearing a different shirt then the one she landed with? Pervy old man…
-
Man that pause/play thing still throws me off a bit, but the episode played great for me. 8D
Also I'm kind of freaked out about how dark Luffy's nightmares are. Which is expected after what happened to him but still. It's Luffy.
And creepy cradle-robber much, Hancock? XD
-
Froze at first, but the second time around was flawless.
Bishounen Luffy roflfizzgizz
-
Wow. I had no problems streaming the episode this week. At all. Soooo random.
The episode was great! So much wtf going on in it though. Bishy-Luffy may have scarred me for life.
-
I froze on that screen, but I just skipped ahead and it worked fine. I like the way these stories are being handled so far.
-
FOR THE WIN!
-
The old man in the Franky episode looked a lot like Head Captain Yammamoto from Bleach. And is it just me, or did Franky say 'Franky!' when he sneezed?
I wish the simulcast kept the preview, I wanna see Sanji's episode so badly.
-
I know I have to wait a couple more weeks for the episode i want to see. The Zoro and Brook stories. Since I'm really curious how they are going to do Zoro's story. Maybe they would filler with Perona wrapping Zoro up. xD
-
now more fan art will distort luffy's image even more

@RPG:
now more fan art will distort luffy's image even more
lol I'm all for distortion.

Awesome episode this week!
The old man didn't just change Nami's shirt, he changed her shorts too. And offered to "wash her clothes"… >>
But yeah, Nami's new advanced weapon and attack is pretty cool. It'll come in handy later on. And Franky's "gentleman" look was awesome. I was worried they would not show the fact that Vegapunk's house was there, but they showed it properly. I really hope Franky stays this way until after he meets up with the crew again. That'd be fing hilarious.
Overall, while rushed overall, it is also good they are not trying to add too much to their stories that could ruin anything. The filler Luffy/Hancock moment was so ackward, yet funny in a strange way. I've never seen Luffy, or any other character in OP, EVER look like that... shiver
-
The animation was pretty terrible but Nami's story was great. Franky's looks kinda dull, but the VEGAPUNK house has me interested.

Well I was eluding more to the main characters, but yeah, I forgot about Wanzo-face or whatever the heck his name is.
-
Just saw Franky's dance scene . It was really cool but the crotch shots… the crotch shots :cwy: !
Right, reft, right, reft, right, reft, right, reft!
Edit: GENTLEMAN FRANKY !

Lmao, I had to literally focus my eyes on the far corner of the screen to avoid his manly package from filling my view. My eyes are still watering from the terror.
I wonder why the anime changed the guards that found him to the old man and the kid. Though it's fine either way.
Derived from memory, so probably inaccurate:
Kid: "Noo! The old you was so much cooler!"
Gentleman Franky: "Really. How was I any different?"
Kid: "You were all like… dance SUPER!"
Franky: ".......... Aren't you ashamed of yourself"
Kid: "Like you should be saying that!"Pure win.
-
Right, left, right, left, right, left, right, left…
OH GOD I CAN'T UNSEE IT!
-
Oh hell naw!! Bishe Luffy?
Edit: Censor on Nami's ass came in a few seconds late.
-
I thought the Franky Dance was sexy, personally.
-
I wonder if Nami's new attack is canon or not…
-
Ha ha, that was an awesome episode, and I like how they're handling the rest of the Strawhats subplot. Nami's story was okay, but Franky's had me ROTFLMAO. I wonder if they'll continue the subplots later in the future with the plot points from the cover pages.
-
I wonder if Nami's new attack is canon or not…
It better be. That is too ****ing awesome to be an anime only thing. It was the first time an attack from Nami really wowed me since the first Thunderbolt Tempo.
-
I have no true proof to back this up, but I do believe Oda helped them with these stories, so the attack should be cannon.
-
I think it could be too. Imagine a Cyclone Tempo with alot of knots. That could be really fatal.
-
I hav MU link but quality is shitteh D:
-
Finally got to watch it. Great episode.
And I REALLY don't get what's wrong with the quality visually. o_O Shiteaters really need to get their head out of their ass and stop masturbating vigorously about HD encoded episodes and how they're so better. I just watched it full screen on my 34 inch HDTV(first time yay) and it looked pretty damn nice. Can't even see anything wrong with the encoding unless you look for it.
Back on the actual subject of the episode, the Franky dancing bit had me rolling, he's too awesome for his own good.
-Zera
-
Nice episode.
Hancock putting the moves on Luffy, Nami throwing things at the man, Franky's dance…..I was laughing my ass off. Now unless I'm mistaken, this will be the order:
-Franky and Nami
-Sanji and Chopper
-Usopp and Robin
-Zoro and BrookIf that's the case, then I'm going to have to wait a while for the cover stories I want.
I really want to see Zoro's, Brook's, and Sanji's stories.
-
This is the first clima tact based move I can ever remember Nami doing that didn't end in the word "Tempo".
-
Good, this time it loaded up when I expected to.
I loved the bishie Luffy in Hancock's fantasy. I liked how the animated Luffy's nightmare of the Strawhats getting separated. One thing that stuck out is how much fanservice we got in this episode. It seems like the fillers and canon lately are always trying to find ways to get Nami naked and this was no exception, and then the other half of the episode had all those Franky crotch shots that had me going .
The main thing I'm worried about is we saw first hand Nami combine the Windy Knot with her ClimaTact Mach 2 and this wasn't in the manga (yet) so I'm hoping that this will eventually be seen in the manga and that the animators got the down low from Oda himself.
So hopefully we'll get a confirm if this should be treated as canon.

Well to be fair, HD IS much better than these releases.
However, that doesn't mean people should be complaining. For an SD encode, these episodes are very good. Even considering it has been reencoded to stream.

And These episodes are also devoid of any coloring problems that may come from a bad fan encode (I see Elric of Yibis talking about how poorly encoded the HD Episode Raws are all the time) and when you get those weather announcements when Large walls of Text fill the top of the screen, FUNi's stream won't have that at all.

You know, people just like finding excuses to allow them to keep on downloading their HD fansubs.
I really wish I could watch these episodes full screen, but I have an computer that fails and crashes when I try to do that.
I have watched them full screen on my dad's computer though. I didn't see any problems with quality there.
-
Source ?
Well, for one, we all know the separation "fillers" are cannon, it's just been extended. To extend these scenes you need the author to direct you in them so you don't do anything wrong. That's the deal with most Anime.
-
That move Nami did was pretty awesome. But look what the scientist did out in the storm? He had some kind of weather shield to protect him from the elements.
If Nami learns how to do that herself, imagine the distruction she would be able to cause and not get caught up in it! I think thats the most promising aspect. -
I was dissapointed with the animation quality during what would have been the best part of the episode (Franky's dance), but then Classy Franky trumped that and the episode was completely forgiven. Nami's finisher also made up for a bit of lesser animation during her segment too.
This is one of the most entertaining episodes I've yet to see, and it was fillerish too! I love everything that's going on in this episode and I CANNOT WAIT for more.
-
I see no problem with the quality, though when I try to watch it fullscreen it does kind of hurt my eyes a little. I don't know why though :ermm: .
-
The old man in the Franky episode looked a lot like Head Captain Yammamoto from Bleach. And is it just me, or did Franky say 'Franky!' when he sneezed?
That's just what he says when he sneezes instead of "achoo". He's weird like that.

I can't remember the last time i saw a weather announcement (100+ episodes ago?), and they usually appear over the recap anyway. The color issue only plague the early raws, btw. That's why the fansubs wait to release HD.
In other hand, i find the huge Toei logo from the stream REALLY annoying and distracting.
So yeah, Choperrules is right…if it's about video quality, you can't even compare. -
Franky's dance cracks me up every time; I kept listening to it today.
Right, Reft! Right, Reft! Right, Reft! Right, Reft! Right, Reft! Oww!
If someone could make me a gif of those three doing that they'd be my hero~

This is also very true. Ad I give them credit for having such good colors in their encodes, like it was taken straight from a DVD. This is something even the HD raws these days are lacking. While the "quality" may be higher, many of the raws I have been getting in the past 6 months or so either have terrible color errors just like the fansubs, or they are devoid of brightness, or too dark, or the saturation is too high.
And yes, that is also something I've come to hate when it comes to fansubs. Trying to watch an episode and having a paragraph pop up at the top of the screen… hence why I stick to official releases, or soft subs if I can't get that. And that is the fansub notes that many groups use. I am pretty sure you are referring to that irritating Japanese writing that slides across the top at the start of each episode? That's really a weather report?
You know, people just like finding excuses to allow them to keep on downloading their HD fansubs.
I don't use fansubs at all now that I have FUNi's out for me Saturday night. However, I still download the HD raws. But don't worry. As soon as the official FUNi DVDs come out, no matter how long it may take, these illegal copies will be tossed in the cyber garbage can.
I also haven't been very active in my own group that does One Piece as of late. How can I, when I support FUNI's legal releases and most of the others don't?
That's just what he says when he sneezes instead of "achoo". He's weird like that.
Yet, we love him anyway, lol.

So yeah, Choperrules is right…if it's about video quality, you can't even compare.However, only because it is on streaming. I bet the original raws FUNi uses to make their hardsubbed encodes, whether SD or HD, are far superior to the HD raws downloaded illegally, in both sharpness and color.
My only gripe is that they don't show the preview, which is mainly the reason I download the HD raws anyway. However, this would be fixed in the official releases, so it's nothing to really complain about.

Do you have a source for this?
-
There was one in the manga section some time ago; Oda said he didn't have time for them so he gave a script to Toei to do.

Didn't Greg give us news of this when he went to Jump Festa last year or something?
I believe thats why most of us are convinced this episode is cannon.

Heso!
I wanted to know if any of you knew a program or an add on that would help make the playback better. When I play the videos it buffers slowly. I have Firefox and wireless that is 54.0 Mbps.
So any ideas or suggestions would be welcomed.
