I've recently joined my school's anime club again, and I notice that amongst the Narutards and screaming Inuyasha fangirls, I was only one of two who actually seemed to know how awesome One Piece was. This MUST be corrected.
So. I wish to introduce these minor 9ers to the real series, but I want to pick episodes that are a) not too spoiler-heavy - I would use the Blueno pwnage, but it's too far into the series; b) not too dramatic, and c) fairly accessible to new viewers - a LOT of the sadly uninformed are into Naruto, and the rest are shoujo fans; I think seeing crazy character designs like, er, Wanze or something, might be a turn-off. However, it'd also be great if they were past the 207 mark, because I like the HD animation better. Basically, I'm trying to pimp this series as best and as shinily as I can.
I apologize for asking, but I only started watching recently (around the Enies Lobby point), having used the manga and single episodes for l33t up-catching purposes before that. I heard someone say they'd used Jango's Dance Carnival to great effect on these boards while I was lurking, too.
