@Galaxy:
Thank you Galaxy!
Now only missing Crossword to get my expectations up (to unreasonable levels, naturally!)

Didn't know where to ask this, so tried here. Did Oda ever said how much he was involved in the anime or in the fillers? Is there a place I can see him saying? In a SBS, interview, something?
It is the year 2830
There is still no VA announced for you know who
Toei animates mouth flaps like always but subtitles are used in place of a voice
ELIZABELLOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
I have been waiting months for this. It's coming it's coming~~~~
Shimanuki, bleh.
Seems the .75 chapter pacing will continue.
It looks like the episode's going to cover the end of 703 and the first half of 704.
Jeez, so this arc is looking to be doing a 0.75 chapter:1 episode ratio now? Bracing for the eventual "SOO SLOOOWWW, dropping anime now 4 realz!" or "Eh, not too bad…pacing was bearable, will probably flow better in a marathon", oh which I will belong to the latter. Toei truly had a nice opportunity to make the Breed Filler Arc a decent buffer, but w/ the breaks Oda's taking, even now, we're not even getting 1 chapter:1 episode ratios now. Ironically, if this trend of 0.75 chapter per episode continues....it won't be long 'till people are wishing for 1 chapter per episode ratios. XD
But besides all that...the preview looks "good". Art is what is continuing to stand out for me in all these previews, but as previously pointed out, the animation seems bit to be desired. Looks like they're sacrificing fluid animation for more solid art, but I'm willing to put up w/ it if it means getting some decent filler fighting w/ some good animation down the road.
It always irks me a bit when they only cover partial chapters because you know they're not going to fix it with an episode that covers more than one chapter, they're just going to continue with 75% or whatever until the ratio evens out by itself again.
It also makes putting together the episode threads a minor pain in the ass.

I can already see it. I certainly won't drop the series, but the anime certainly seems in for the long haul with this arc. I just hope they have adequate filler material to pad it out.
@Mr.:

Oh, DR does have plent of filler material to pad out…Toei just prefers the easy route and extends stuff that has no business being extended. I mean, instead of having Mr. Purple do badly animated attacks, and a super slow build up to the attack he does...I would've preferred more running filler w/ Zoro, Sanji, and Kinemon. That would've had more potential w/ Zoro getting lost looking for his stuff, but due to his bad sense of direction, he'd actually keep running into it while Sanji and Kinemon try to split up to catch Zoro. This would've given some decent gags, more interaction between Sanji and Kinemon and been a good explanation for Kinemon getting lost. But that's just me.
I can't wait for them to show
! Jesus Burgess so I can
! update my sig to his post-skip appearance
What the hell the preview for 633 should be what's in 632. Is Dressrosa really going to be that slow! I would be fine with slow pacing if they didn't use the extra time staring at a character's still face for 5 minutes!

Well, 632's preview shows some original filler of Sanji facing some cooks and 633 seems to have some A Block filler, so at least they're filling some stuff with real content. Actually, except the padding of last episode, they seem to go for that route for Dressrosa. 630 already had some with Fujitora arriving in Dressrosa and him meeting Zoro.
And the parts where they really can add stuff (Block battles, Green Bit) are still coming up. I could dig that.
^^ Dude Spoilers.
Next Friday 14th February TV program Jump BANG! will be dedicated to One Piece and Greg will appear too!!

–- Update From New Post Merge ---
^^ Dude Spoilers.
It was put in a button that specifically said spoiler. People click at their own risk. Also that gets revealed in 2 weeks.
Lucy's right hand looks weirdy.
honestly there's plenty that looks off and wrong in that photograph.
A couple things have been added to the official One Piece site.
Interview with Hiroaki Miyamoto (The series director): http://one-piece.com/special/usop/20140212_0151.html
Interview with Ryusei Nakao (Caesar): http://one-piece.com/special/usop/20140212_0149.html
Cabbage on the left has a very wonky face.
Cabbage on the right looks nice though.
I.. don't remember Lucy's armor looking like that. At all.
I have a funny tingly feeling in my spleen that this is when they're gonna go all out with the filler.

Also, 634 preview.

so…
! 633 should end with Dagama's speech and 634 would finish the chapter with cave, rebecca and burgess' intro??

Yes. They have Brook's VA now, so I assume so, anyway.

Yes, FUNimation just recently acquired the rights to the entire Thriller Bark Arc. The new dubbing should start soon

Sweet, too bad I'm not at home to see how they sound like.
EDIT: I think I'll actually wait so the surprise can be bigger :3
Man.. with the exception of Chinjao, all those pictures are drawn awfully.
As for the voices, none of them have been in the series before, which is always nice to see.

I read this tgeory in a different forum:
"What if it's possible to eat one logia, one paramecia and one zoan fruit, you only die if you eat 2 of the same kind of fruit, and Blackbeard is just the only one to have figured this out =D" (constar90,reddit)
What do you guys think?
