Okay, my two cents.
- The fight between Luffy and Hody was okay, but as some pointed out already, it suggested that Hody was actually a threat to Luffy (which he wasn't at any point in the manga). I expected more from Giant Gatling, but it was acceptable for now. There is more to come, let's hope for a bigger bang.
- Brook vs Zeo was the highlight, well executed. Brook is one of the few characters who really benefit from the anime, especially with his amazing voice actor.
- Zoro vs Hyouzou was nothing special in the manga, didn't expect anything.
- Impact Wolf got messed up, badly. A real letdown. It's called Impact Wolf. Where is the impact?
- Sanji's Hell Memoires. What can I say, fucked up. Tho I can't really blame them, it was never clearly shown what the attack actually does, or if it even connects. Suddenly Wadatsumi is on fire, a case where I would welcome a little filler.
- Jinbe's Buraikan. I don't get it, first they re-animate his Brickfist to look amazing
!
and then they screw it like this a few eps later.
Still I think it was an okay'ish episode, since all of the above attacks can't be considered special, even if they were used as finishers. The only attack that seemed to be cutting edge (Giant Gatling) was well done, so I can let the rest slide for now.
