@FelRes:
Loved the Shirahoshi scene. I was sitting there thinking "just take her with you damn it :c". Sadly I think I'm one of the few who actually really likes her lol. Also liked the part where the theme song plays while all the Straw Hats say their own little thing while Robin just giggles. Shame we won't actually see the next island til after the filler stuff since I really want to see it in color.
Count me in as well. I liked her as well, even if she was a bit too optimistic about things. That's what I like about her though. You just have to get used to her voice and her crying and she's not too bad. And I really hope she is able to toughen herself up.
She's one of those characters where you know she wouldn't work out on the ship. She's just too weak, honestly. Even Vivi would have had a tough time in her fights, to be honest. Shirashoshi's role hasn't ended though and I'm sure she'll still be one of the key players toward the end of the series.
The flashbacks at the end with We Go were nicely done, for real. I wouldn't always say flashbacks are good, but just like a few episodes ago, this was handled beautifully.
So now is the new opening next week or after that? I'm actually pretty pumped for the Z filler (believe it or not), mainly because this is going to basically be a month hyping Z and I really can't wait. Let's hope the filler is worth the hype since Oda was involved, and let's pray to the god of One Piece that these fillers are not utter shit like Little East Blue.
One last thing to note is that Franky had his lines this time, so at least we know Yao is not having any major health issues or anything like that. I guess they just decided it would be best for Franky to be working on the ship instead of doing comedic scenes last week.
