And it's sad that the anime doesn't use blood anymore since, what, Thriller Bark?
Oh wow, now you're just getting blind.

Maybe , but you gotta admit Mr. 2's scene in level 5 looked pathetic . "Whose the guy all covered in blood" made me nearly piss myself with laughter cause that was definitely not how Bon Clay looked like . More like "The guy with a single streak of curry sauce driping down his forehead" .
I was not going to watch the episode buy I gave it a look… Yea.. That combo looked terrible. In fact, they are taking away thefeeling that this this riot is supposed to look like a massive plow machine with obstacles. Like it was actually a race against time trying to keep as many survivors as possible.
Going to watch the rest the the ep... The only good parts were the Blugori segments.
Oh wow, now you're just getting blind.
Of course that was just an exaggeration… I know that San Carlos bled when Luffy punched him, and that Mr 2 spitted blood when Ivankov Hell Wink'd him. The last really bloody stuff I remember were just in Thriller Bark... Zoro's epic pose after the Kuma incident and the Sanji vs Absalom fight. And I mean the uncut DVD version of that fight, the version that aired on Fuji TV was edited.
Wait …..so there was an edited version of Zoro back in TB airing in Japan ?
Lord , I'm not liking where this is going .
Did they recylce that ugly BB closeup for the whole episode? Wow.. Even fem-Ivan looked off. And I barely even use the term ugly.

Noooooooooooo, the Zoro-Kuma thing was not edited in Japan, but the Sanji vs Absalom-fight. The whole "Absalom stabs down Sanji"-scene wasn't shown in the Fuji TV airing because some days before the episode aired there was a big stabbing incident in Tokyo or something like that.
Look at the screens with the blue stuff.
Toei must be putting a lot of effort in screwing things up. This entire comic relief with Buggy and Mr3 is becoming cliche and boring.
Why not have someone else work as comic relief . Oh if only we had characters in ID who are under utilised .
I want some Blugori filler.
Well I think the episode was great. I'm glad that I stopped myself from reading the manga cause i really enjoy the episodes. For some reason i liked the mr. 3 and buggy filler coz it wasn't a flashback so i didn't get bored.
The worst thing in the whole episode was that part with the demon guards being beaten. I saw the manga version of this fight scene and i think it was waaay better. I think that what everybody expected here was croc, jinbei and luffy saying the first part of their attacks on their own and then there would be a big picture of them hitting the DG and saying their attacks. But I still think it was a great episode and of course it was too short.:ninja:

I'm with you. I come here and read what people think about the episode and they are making it seem the episodes are terrible. I go and watch them and I love them, hell I even liked the Demon Guards part which everyone is complaining about. Sure there were better episodes and they could do better, but I like them.
And how was this episode boring? This episode felt like it was around 5 minutes long. When things are boring they seem longer than they really are not shorter.
I think some people here are way too picky and complain too much. Can't wait until next weeks!

Hypocrisy is not tolerated on the internet.

IIRC, it was in Akihabara.

Holy shit, this is the first time I've seen the unedited parts of the Sanji/Absalom fight. Thanks for linking it. Now the fight will definitely be more epic (to me) when it hits DVDs. XD
Also, pertaining this episode. Yeah, it dragged, especially the Buggy/Mr. 3 part, but it was tolerable…any longer and I would've gotten annoyed. And I do agree with everyone about the ID Monster Trio Vs. Demon Guards fight. Showing the aftermath of their attacks just lacks the intensity and impact of seeing the actual attacks connecting with the opponents like in the manga. But meh, I can live with it. Oh and about Blackbeard looking shitty these past few episodes...maybe we have a vindictive animator with a vendetta against BB for certain actions he and his crew have done.
where did you watch this? It's not even out yet for my site.
animefreak.tv (srry iof this is against rules or w/e) every sat night at 12 p.m (sometimes 10 past 12)
When does the episode air in Japan ? Coz I have see people say that it airs on Sundays. But that would mean that AF has a subbed version faster then it airs in Japan ? Or does it have something to do whit the timezones?:ninja:

it airs on sunday… we too get it on sunday.. (via funimation)
episode was….meh....i wasn't to happy with it but it was tolerable, the buggy and mr 3 filler was funny for the 1st min then they just dragged it for too long, lucky it didn't go on, next weeks episode looks promising, but so did this weeks, and look what happened.....-.-''
lol did any of you notice?
Saldeath's hidden feature activated!
They didn't know it was a flute and just copied the manga image and made him put the spear on his mouth without a sound, which looked weird.
Now, after an explanation from the SBS, they added that little flute sound for his spear-flute!
lolllllll^^

Only problem with that? They didn't play this.

Pretty sure that he was talking the last time we saw him put it to his lips. You can't talk and play a wind instrument at the same time. And at any rate, that episode definitely came out after that SBS.

Tell that to Zoro, lol.
..oh wait, it's the same VA but whatever. []
ok so what does this flute do? Does he play so bad that the enemy just doesen't want to fight anymore (like the negative ghosts) ?:ninja:

He controls the Bulgories and the other animals with it.
the episode was ….really low. Weak, unfunny and lame. No fighting, no normal jokes-only prolongings, fillers and cheap shitty frases.
wow i'm amazed every week by how much complaining is done about each episode. don't even know why you guys bother watching anime anymore.

Yeah, timezone differences. The episodes air Sundays at 9:30 AM in Japan, which is early Saturday night American time.
Funi makes their sub public exactly one hour after the episode has ended, so it's still Saturday for us when that happens.
so that means it's about 5 am when it gets done in my time zone. Couldn't care les if it was 2 am or 6 am I wake up at 11. :ninja:

yep 9pm for central time in america, used to be 8, until day light savings.
and those are times that funimation puts them up, which is an hour after it airs in japan. so if i watch live on keyhole or wahtever shit is out there its as early as 7:30 pm for me here on saturday.
Female Ivankov….i just wanted to cry after seeing that. Episode was meh. Too much dragging out. Just get it over and done with.
The more i see of Shiryu, the more i like him. His voice is just so awesome.
I think that shiriyu's badass rating is dropping. First he got blue and then his sword lost it's red shine. I mean look at that first scene when he gets released is craped my pants.:ninja:
I think the red shine was more for dramatic effect then anything. I'm sure if Shiryuu is ever in a heated, dramatic battle in the future the red-shine or something similar will return. That whole scene was just dripping with tension to suggest what a big deal this character is.

???????????????
Yes D: His uniform is blue now. And it's not a lighting thing it's totally navy blue D:
But honestly, I forgive this slightly because the color change could have something to do with how much his uniform resembles an SS uniform. Actually, Shiryuu totally embodies an SS officer-esque persona, moreso then Magellan or the fodder officers do
I was wondering if i was the only one who thought that the ID personnel were kinda nazi related. But weren't SS uniforms actually black with a white skull on them <–---- (not an expert):ninja:
Yeah the ID uniforms are definately SS-esque, though except for dress coats most SS uniforms are single breasted (well, there were Panzers that were double breasted but you don't see many pictures of them floating around, but they look most like the ID uniform tops so thats probably where Oda got it from):
http://www.bytwerk.com/gpa/images/ob/ob6.jpg
But really, you have the pants, hats, rank symbols on the collars and the arm bands that are dead giveaways. I like how Oda gave them cop glasses XDD That makes them look even swankier.
Magellan and Shiryuu look like they're rocking the leather overcoats. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&client=firefox-a&hs=MoE&rls=org.mozilla%3Aen-US%3Aofficial&q=SS+Officer+Coat+Uniform&cts=1270502077831&aq=f&aqi=&aql=&oq=&gs_rfai=
I'm PRETTY SURE I have seen coats made that DID have the rank on the collar like their coats do, but I can't find anything for it right now, IRL most overcoats were just plain or had just a few identifying insignia on it.
Shiryuu's seems to be just a double breasted coat buttoned all the way up with the insignia on the collar, not really true to the RL stylings but w/e, the other identifying factors are obvious enough.
It seems TOEI is really low on the budget.

Must be because they spent so much on Strong World promotions.

why if u mean the episode then i don't see the difference
The quality of art and movement have seen much better days.

What fillers? The Buggy and Mr. 3 storyline is in the manga. Isn't filler something that's not, used by Toei to pad out their series until more manga is released?

Well it was an improvement over the actual episode.
Seriously, this isn't getting better. One Piece deserves an animation that is as good as avatar. Toei just didn't give OP any justices.
Avatar had a fixed length. Budgets can be allocated efficiently. One Piece is super long with no end in sight. The budget needs to be spread like this with money saved for the really important episodes.
