@Kairouseki:
They most likely won't release larger box sets until all the voyages are out. If at all.
Ok, I'm going to buy first voyage within the next week then.
108: 5/5
Loved this episode, completely and utterly adored it. The reason being it was so dam fun, giant alligators on the loose, a plan being made to destroy a country and other exciting things. Ok so it doesn’t sound that impressive but the enjoyment factor for me was sky high. It was nice to see a Vivi-centric episode. Sure she features regularly but this must have been the first time in a while where she was the centre of the action. And the voice acting is superb, love Vivi’s, Sanji’s and Crocodile’s voice the most but the rest are equally impressive. The Mr Prince thing confused me a bit at first, for starters he was openly admitting to being a member of the Straw Hats, and then when the bride collapsed it had me wondering what the hell was going on. But then the ending, brilliant. I was definitely psyched for the next episode.
Episode 109: 4/5
Didn’t enjoy this episode quite as much but it was still entertaining. It’s a shame they got rid of Mr 3 so easily (nice survival by the way) but surely they could have attempted to show more of a fight between himself and Sanji. I liked the key situation, as obvious as it was I didn’t expect Crocodile to have the real key on him but goes to show why he’s a great villain, though the wax key seemed a bit of an easy get out. Back to the “battle”, I wish they would have shown a battle against the banana gators, would have been cool to see it although that seems a bit too similar to Luffy vs. Arlong’s pet. It was nice that Luffy saved Smoker’s life but it was a tad predictable that he let him go. All in all a great episode. But Vivi’s comment about crossing through the dessert, please no more filler before we get to Alaburna!
Episode 110: 4.5/5
So this episode featured Luffy vs. Crocodile, a pretty good fight in my opinion but I’m guessing it’ll only be the 1st round as I just know Luffy will be back for more. I was quite surprised when Croc snatched Vivi off the back of the crab and then for a battle to ensue, I thought we wouldn’t be seeing the showdown till we got to Alaburna. One thing that struck me is how much Luffy respects that old man back in Yuba, how he refused to let his hard work go to waste, that’s what for me makes him stand out. So Miss All Sunday’s name is Nico Robin, a bit of pointless trivia that this show offers just like the marine jail cells in an earlier episode. This episode gets an extra half point from me just for the shock of Luffy being impaled mid sentence, the music fades out, but is the end of him? I very much doubt it is as someone said (sorry can’t remember who) you’d be very much surprised what people can live through in this series.
