Okay, I realize that OP ep 291 has already come out, but it's raw and I never saw it. Anyway, from what I gather, in the middle of the Enies Lobby plot they inserted a filler where they're all in fedual Japan and Buggy is an evil kabuki. Anyone care to divuldge?
Random One Piece filler

It's an OVA I believe.
-
It's the End of the Year special.
A sequel to last year's Edo era special.
-
I believe it's just a year-end special, they do these every other year or so right around Christmas, they did another Edo-era special either in 2005 or 2004.
Also, I'm pretty sure OVA stands for Original Video Animation, which is used to denote an animation of higher quality than normal tv animation and then released direct to video, not broadcast on TV.
-
No, OVAs are usually made(but not always) when an Anime is about to be created, but usually for Manga being adapted, around the time the negotiations or idea for the legal rights to make it are being worked out, so they show people wha tthe animation they have in mind looks like. Major ones are usually released at convetions like Jump Festa.
-
Oh, so it's an OVA. I was under the impression that it was a filler.
-
Its not an OVA, its a special. End of the Year special.
-
Ah, I never knew that about OVA's GearSecond, thanks for that little bit of info. And yeah, this is most certainly the year end special, i actually quite like these edo-era specials they've been doing, the ones they did before werent particularly exciting from what i remember of them.
-
I like them pretty well, as it's a nice way to space out the manga even more, and serves as something nice to watch anytime. Kind of wish they didn't place it in such a crucial part of the arc, but hey it's the new years.
-
The end of year specials are a very good thing IMHO. That's one less filler episode to worry about, less "dragging", and all around better action. Still, even with the specials we're still probably looking at a big chunk of filler episodes forthcoming after Enies Lobby.
-
I think putting filler right after Luffy leaves Water7 would be a good idea. I mean like right after the BB VS Ace battle concludes. They could send the SH to some random island while on their way to Merman Isle.

Nah, this time Oda shows how much he hates them.
They're going to a Bermuda Triangle [sp?] version, with no known details. They don't know if bringing more islands would mess the story or not. Also, the BB scenario is about to continue too, and they don't know if it'll clash with the current story or not.
So overall, they're busted. Of course, they could end the series somehow and go with an OVA per saga, like HxH, but why lose money when someone invented the fillers? -
^ What are you talking about? They still gotta sail to that area, and fillers can easily be put in between their voyage.
I also believe the entire part two of Ace vs. Blackbeard wont happen till after the filler.
-
This End of the year special thing nearly was the end of my life.
What a freaking bullshit! I can't imagine how someone will find any good in this , especially 3episodes…..Fillers will be when they're waiting for the new ship to be completed
-
I like of the idea having end of year specials. Specials are often fun to watch BUT when the arc is in this point and heading towards finale, it do is pretty frustating :getlost:
-
G-Greato, you watched it? Sounds awful. I'm not planning on watching it. I always despise the way they use the OP characters.
-
I honestly find it amazing that so many people here didn't know about the End-of-the-Year specials until now.

Why do you say that?
-
Maybe he didnt read the dates of the posts.
10 days ago many ppl didnt know that it was a End of Year Special :P -
Okay, so since ADC subbed it, I watched the OVA and utter hilarity ensued. Zoro as a priest and Mr. 3 as a bald daimyo. lmfao.
