Oh, man, that was so incredible. During part one of the episode, I had my doubts that it would surpass the others as advertized (don't get me wrong, I loved part 1 a lot, but Episode 2 had it beat). However, part two beat all the other episodes within the first 30 seconds. Jesus trading cards. Pure genius.
However, I have to say that overall, episode 2 had it beat. But that was only because episode 2 had Chopper, Sanji, and Robin, three of the best voices in the entire series - but if this episode is an indicator of things to come, then the next installment should be epic.
That said, I will probably change my mind na ddecide this episode is better eventually - it takes a couple views for these episodes to grow on me. Anyway, great job guys! It was freaking incredible!
Also: your bashing of Mr. Plagiarizer was a wonderful, wonderful thing. It was positively beautiful. Luffy's line was the best, but the whole thing had me in stitches and really gave the kid a healthy taste of revenge.
