I guess we'll find out whether the rumor about a new opening is true or not soon.
-
Longer preview for this episode, posted by Chibi JFZ last night in the General Anime Thread.
Also, still no sign if a stream, so expect to use Keyhole if you want to watch it live.
-
Come on Crossword, 3 and half stars for Isochi? He deserves at least 4.
Hoping for a new Opening, I hope it looks good.

What rumor? :ninja:
-
The art looks really good in that extended preview. Looking forward to this new duo's work.

Was there a rumor?
-
If there was a rumor, it's self-generated. We'll know if history will repeat itself in a half-hour or so.
Come on Crossword, 3 and half stars for Isochi? He deserves at least 4.
Just being prudent. We'll see how he does this week.

Some people believe that we'll get a new opening at the beginning of the Z filler arc, because Opening 12 came out unannounced on the first episode of the Little East Blue filler arc.

That and FI arc is over and it's been over a year and 2 months for the current Opening, yeah the probability of a new Opening today is high.
Well, if we manage to figure out which half he did. lol
-
Some link for Livestream? Please XD
-
I dunno about a livestream, but for Keyhole, what channel is Fuji Tv on?
-
Nothing works, not even keyhole. it doesn't list Fujitv (フジテレビ).
-
2chan thread. http://dec.2chan.net/18/res/19426901.htm
-
Well, that's unfortunate.
-
Nope. It's We Go.
-
Ah, no new Opening. Too bad.
-
Nope, no new opening. New year it is then.
Looks like Ain gets some lines.
-
The Laughing Man's not going to like this.

Why new year? the filler only lasts one more episode after this, so isn't it possible we'll get a suprise opening once Punk Hazard starts in two weeks?
-
The filler is for a month, actually, just like the Movie 10 filler was. CCC confirmed it.
-
Oh, must've been confused because there are only two titles listed.
-
No new opening…
-
Baaaah…Probably because Toei's staff is busy everywhere with all specials, game, and movie.
Anyway, episode looks fantastic and fun.
-
I've been calling the new OP should debut on January 6th, that is looking likely now.
-
It's really no big deal, just…I love it when a new opening is introduced and it's good (which I'm hoping the opening for the next arc is, considering how good the arc itself is viewed by most).
-
Wait, so there are two Mini Mini no Mi users now? (One in the game and one in this filler) And they're also both giants? That's odd.
-
Preview for next week.
-
I've only seen her in pictures and I can already tell you I'm not a big fan of this shrinky-dink woman. She seems really.. fillerish, if that makes sense. That makes sense, right? Right. But oh well.. she still has lots of time to change my mind. Use your time wisely, mortal.

This is bothering me, too, but I guess they just somehow based this character off of that one? "My filler is better than your filler, so bam!"
-
!
This alone makes me want to watch the episode.
-
Wait a goddamn minute Luffy is fighting Momonga next week? that is…interesting.
-
We Go is, at this point, the opening held the longest since Opening 5. Oh well.

The animation should always be this good, in my opinion.

He's a filler character and I know absolutely nothing about him yet but I want him to join.

Pwn Llama !!!!! (or Alpaca?)

Yeesh, three animation directors, with Hisada overseeing them all, that has to be a record for the One Piece anime.
The timing and direction were so much better than regular episodes, I thought. I usually feel that the anime is at its best when it doesn't stick so slavishly close to the manga panels, and this reinforces my belief.
I'm not going to fully comment on the direction of the plot just yet, but so far I'm not too wowed by it. Shuzo's plan is reminiscent of Largo's and the Amigo Pirates', and that's not a good sign. The whole chef thing strikes me as Toriko-wankery, and I've kinda had enough of Toriko elements in One Piece after those two specials. Overall it's not bad setup. but there's no real grabbing hook outside of the fact that Z's group is lurking in the background. The whole thing is giving me Little East Blue flashbacks right now, so I hope it manages to rise beyond that level, but that shouldn't be a difficult bar to surpass.
Lilly's nowhere near as insufferable as Yoko was, so that's a definite plus!
Ain sounded younger here than she did in the previews for Z I've seen so far. -
The animation in the first five minutes was sweet! All the weird weather phenomena in the "Ridiculously Hard to Prounounce" sea was also pretty cool. Giant raindrops, sky avalanches, and the ocean splitting in two…XD
Lily's like a female version of Luffy with Keimi's facial faults. If she wasn't a filler character, I'd say she would be a good candidate for a SH crewmate.This filler arc is off to a good start already.
-
Okay, watching the episode. Visually, it looks good. The giant rain and hail drops are cool weather effects. Robin using her abilities to catch an avalanche was pretty friggin' awesome too. And the sea splitting. Good to see the filler taking advantage of the randomness the New World allows. Filler girl is very filler-ish, but she doesn't annoy me and seems kinda cool. Though I recently watched The Secret World of Arrietty, so I really digged the small girl thing. Plus she made a cool introduction.
Sooo I guess so far it's pretty good. Based off this episode alone, I wouldn't mind a full sized filler arc the size of Ice Hunter or G8. Admittedly, I don't care too much about the plot, I just like having something fresh. It's nice to have some breather before the next arc, which is pretty lengthy and crazy.
-
Lkly was like a girl Luffy
-
I enjoyed it. The art and animation were pretty high quality, the anime is definitely better when it doesn't strictly follow one chapter of the manga.
Looking forward to the upcoming episodes
-
Well, this episode did fell very filler-y. The crew hit all of their usual gimmicks at the start, but once they got to Lily I could tell this was going to be an uninspiring filler episode. Everything felt very safe, like someone was marking off items on a checklist. Could have been worse though.
The art and animation was good though, and the random weather sea felt pretty cool.
-
"The booze is gone too!"
"NOT THE BOOZE!!!" suddenly cares about the situation
Very enjoyable episode.
-
Yip, it is indeed a pretty good start. Loved the Strawhats' antics and costumes, even the art and animation is quite good. Hoping they could end this filler arc well.
-
Damn lmao this episode was so funny, the part when that guy finishes a sentence, him and that sheep nods at each other cracked me up so badly zehahahah.
-
Wait a goddamn minute Luffy is fighting Momonga next week? that is…interesting.
Yeah i can't wait but probably will be a short one and most likely interrupted
-
I liked the beginning of the episode, but after about the half-way minute mark I got kinda bored. Still some funny moments throughout.
This is the first One Piece filler I'm watching weekly! I saw all the other filler besides Ice Hunter and Amigo Pirates 0 doesn't seem like I missed out on anything.
-
I was approaching this episode very carefully so I didn't just One Piece fangasm. Meaning I studied the plot to make a fair review. While it's nowhere near as ground-breaking as the next canon arc introduction, it was still very well done in my opinion. I wasn't bored at all, and Lily's character kept me entertained. She actually didn't feel all that fillerish to me and fit in with One Piece. The fact that the main filler girl for this mini arc is not some annoying kid already gives me hopes. For those saying it's like Little East Blue, though it's got some of the same elements, it's already looking far better for me.
Looking forward to the others. It did have some nods to Toriko, but I didn't mind it too much. Seeing Ain and that other guy was a nice nod as well, and I hope we get to see Z get some lines by the time this is done.
My only disappointment was the lack of a new opening. Is there any official information about this, or was everyone just speculating?
-
Is that thd robo llama Franky n Ussop made?

This one at 0:32 ? Could be, maybe he still blames Usopp for smashing that helmet on his head.
