I know, I know you're not. You actually pay attention to the story of a series, and that is admirable (not being sarcastic btw, honest to Heaven truth). As a show of that, I offer you a funny comment: I guess, in Toei's world, losing half of your epic mustache has the same value of having half your face melted/ripped off. You gotta hand it to them, thinking about the kids. NO NO NO! NO HALF-FACED GIANTS! THAT WILL TRAUMATIZE THEM!Someone fisted through with a Magma Punch through the gut, spewing a lot of blood, giant breasted hotties with spontaneous bounce and massive cleavages? HELL TO THE YES MOTHERF***ER! THEM BRATS GOTTA LEARN SOMEHOW!, AND I'M SICK OF TELLING THEM BABIES COME FROM A DRUNKEN NIGHT IN THE RED LIGHT DISTRICT IN TOKYO!
483: ''Searching for the Answer - Fire-Fist Ace Dies on the Battlefield''

Yes, but I would have at least expected a damaged face with perhaps his eye burned shut.
-
Regarding Whitebeard's face next week, do remember One Piece is shown Sunday Morning and has many children watching the show. TOEI HAS to edit some scenes, and I believe they have done quite well during this arc with very few edits. It could be a hell of alot worse with the edits.
On the plus side, the Whitebeard vs Akainu scene looks to be extended a bit.

Goodbye Ace
! Damn, I can't think of a song epic enough for Whitebeard:sad:
-
They STILL could've burnt half of his moustache off. They have no excuses.
-
So did they play a song for Ace like they did with Merry?
Was it Kaze Wo Sagashite like I predicted?
-
Best thing is, the preview ends with a dramatic close-up to Whitebeard's left eye. It's like they're taunting us.

You know, I'd be pretty funny if that strike was anime-only and the real hit happens in the next episode.

Or BB or Shilew slicing it off in exchange.

Can we get some comments from anime-onlys, please? I'm dying to hear what they have to say.
-
Did anyone REALLY expect the Anime to actually show his face get ripped in half, I mean reallly?

That dude is a retard lol. I mean someone gotta die in every action anime/film. Remember DBZ… Krillins death made Goku go SSJ. (ye, they had the Dragonballs but Krillin was already revived with them and they didn't know that the Namek balls can revive you endless times.)
-

They didn't have to show it directly. They could have shown it from the side or a different angle. And they didn't have to show his face completely or all close-up.

If your an Anime only you wouldn't have minded the edit because you wouldn't have known about it!!…..until you entered this thread of course.

That's…...true?

I wonder what Sengoku's line next week will be like…
! Sengoku: Even with half his mustache gone he still has such power…
! Whitebeard: I'm just getting started! -
It's up at Funi's site.
Joker: And here we go!
-
Lol at Funi's description.
"Did I deserve to be born? Ace may finally find his answer during the climactic battle at Navy HQ. Ace once promised Luffy he would never die. Will he be able to honor that pledge? Or is it truly the end of an era?"Even they're suprised.

Ace in the hole.
Wait, I got it backwards.

Good ep. Two thoughts:
-I think I actually liked the little tiny filler with Whitebeard picking up the bead, though it screws up some canon stuff with the manga.
-I will admit that there is a good rationale for not animating Halfbeard for a younger audience, but that last scene with Ace hitting the ground was surprisingly gruesome. -

Wow, I thought the ending was pretty brutal. You've got Ace thanking everyone with soft, sad music in the background, then suddenly cut to silence and SPLAT. The :O face is still pretty silly, however.
This episode, compared to, say, the Going Merry's funeral, was very low-key. But I thought that that worked in their favor this time, and I'm sure the HD version will look quite good. Good usage of music from Movies 5, 9, and 10, though what the hell was up with the ''Luffy's Fierce Attack'' bit? Even if it was for a hope spot, it felt incredibly out of place. I guess that and the fact that suddenly everyone's standing way the fuck away from Luffy and Ace is this episode's only blemish.
The episode was very quiet and soft, but since the subject matter was so personal, it worked. I did tear up a little at the end (well, before the :O face, anyway), so I'd say that the direction did what was asked of it. Good job.
-
I officially forgive Toei for last week's episode. This one captured all the emotions from the original chapter, and I'm not even ashamed to say I cried for at least half of the episode.
On another note…way to ruin the intensity of both Whitebeard and Akainu. ''Oh yeah you think you're tough Whitebeard? Look what I can do! I'll incinerate your mustache, bitch ! -
It was a good episode that served it's purpose nicely.
-
The :O face in manga was the drop that overfilled the glass for me…
-
This was an amazing episode, and the best part, only 3 seconds of Buggy woohoo!
-
This episode genuinely made me feel sad. Bravo to them. By the end of the episode I felt so bad…
And then Luffy made that goddamn face and I burst out laughing.
It was worse than in the manga, because in the anime, the face moved.
-
I cried at the end.
-
Now I love Ace and all but through this whole episode I could use a smidge more Buggy.
-
God, this episode…...is even more emotional than the manga.
-Thank the Lord for no long ass recap.
-Everyone's reactions....so heart wrenching
-Akainu is doing his best Robert Patrick T-1000 impersonation.
-Luffy asking the doctor and Iva to save Ace felt so cruel. T.T
-All the explosions and fighting going on in the background is muy perfecto.
-Garp is in rage mode!
-The flashbacks were indeed very nice.
-The music....Goddamn...the music...is...so perfect.
-Luffy's crying at the end was creeping me out.
-They forgot the young Luffy and Ace "I'm not gonna die" and the "His name is Gol. D. Ace" flashback.Now, FEEL OUR PAIN, ANIME WATCHERS!!! TAKE IT!! TAKE IT ALL!!!!
10/10

How did Toei get the sense that Luffy's pain face was supposed to move? It looks retarded.

Now, FEEL OUR PAIN, ANIME WATCHERS!!! TAKE IT!! TAKE IT ALL!!!!

That race is now extinct.
Should I post Gol D. Ace's rant again or is everyone getting sick of that already?
-
Come on, anime onlys. Don't hold back. Show us all your anger, all your fury, all your rage. Let it all out.
FEED US WITH YOUR HATRED! -
Oh god damn it, I knew exactly what was coming up and I still cried. Excelent episode.
-
This episode was far better than last week's. I admittedly did shed a few tears in the end there.
Let's not bash too much on the face thing for next episode. Let's just wait and see how it plays out.
-
It's not a big deal if he doesn't lose half his face.
I just want something to happen to his face. A burn, a mark, a cut, a scratch, something!
That beard needs to be damaged also. -
I really enjoyed this episode. I can't really take the :O face serious in the manga or anime, they both just as silly to me but I can still feel the pain Luffy is having. I hope the next episode will be just as good as this episode. Besides the whole "Whitebeard not missing half his face" the preview made the episode look great. Also glad they decided to take out that stupid shit after the opening. I was tired of seeing it over and over.
-
Great episode, I teared up a bit.
Akainu is always awesome no matter the how bad or good the episode is.
