Now Toei's just milking the edo era.
Its not so much as starting to milk the Edo plot now. Is that the last two really sucked. Well, at least its not recaps.

Maybe this oyabun will be better. Plus, with all the people dying to watch gear 3 the next couple of episodes would get high ratings even if they showed the coby/helemppo arc again.
I think it will be something like that
300 - the end of 417 and all 418
301- 419 and part of 420, it will end when the buster call destroy the tower of justice
302- the rest of 420, and 421 until Luffy is about to use the gear 3
304 - all the gear 3 action, 421 end and all 422
woo, 299 was awesome. Looking forwad to the next batch…
IMO edo fillers are enjoyable, stlil waiting to see 292 subbed with Hachi and Getsadu! (how careless!!!)
Crossbones posted his screencaps. The episode looks fucking EPIC.
EDIT: The preview of 301 has been uploaded. el oh el at Sogeking!

Must have…. Must have episode...
Give UPRC episode... :(
I wouldn't say epic but it was certainly well done. For once there wasn't gratuitous filler of one kind or another. Spandam didn't spend 3 minutes harassing Robin with lines pulled from the Writer's ass. Zoro and Kaku was handled well, especially Kaku's defeat. A lot of credit for it not being overdone as these things tend to be.
In fact… I don't think there was ANY filler material in the episode. I thought one Zoro/Sanji scene was added but nope, it's in the original. I also like how they've been handling the Robin/Spandam progression so it doesn't all play out at once.
Looks like Sogeking will have his shining moment next episode.
wow looking at the screencaps really makes Asura look like an upgrade.

BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! BAKA! (three minutes later) BAKA!! HAHAHAH!
ahem
Anyways, great to hear that there's no filler in this episode. Can't wait to see it.
Spandam constantly calling Robin "baka" is sorta childish. :getlost:
The anime made me really and I mean really despise Spandam. That bastard, so mean to Robin
Its almost that time again. I, as usual, cannot wait. =D
aha, i figured this episode would end with Luffy going into Gear second…

Oh my goodness thank you SakuraDestiny! The time change just happened, the time is one hour ahead, and I though I'd have to stay up all night for this episode. :P
One Piece 300 RAW has been released:

Woah! Saiyaman released it HELLA fast this week!
I heard Saiyaman was FS. I will check the quality, and if it sucks like last week, I'll still upload a torrent of the Share version.
EDIT: Saiyaman RAW is the same fullscreen file as the one from Share. The quality isn't that great, but it's much better than last week's Saiyaman version. It's nice to have a week off from creating and seeding a torrent.
walaoh episode 300 was really really great - asura is hella strong and
the peek on the luffy vs. lucci fight was well made in my eyes
oleee sogeking !!1111
Good episode, up until the ending.. Where they for some reason changed the outcome of Spandam-Robin. Robin, was suppose to be out cold, and Spandam was suppose to be continuing to bring her accross the bridge, however, she is still biting for some reason.. Not that i like seeing Robin get knocked out, but the overall impact of the situation feels different from the manga, atleast to me. Its to bad, I hope they are just delaying the scene.
Man, I really wish I was there in the meeting where they dispatched the different animation teams for the CP9 fights episodes.
This episode covered so much awesome manga material it deserved much, much better animation that this. It wasn't bad at all (it was in some parts though), but it should have been much^10 better.
Now that I think about it, Zoro got the worst anime handeling of his fight of all.
Franky had a good and an excellent quality episode, same for Chopper. Nami two fine and a great one, and Sanji a single excellent one. And all both Zoro episodes had was decent quality…ah well.
Now, when Luffy went gear 2nd and that music started, I did get massively pumped. Jet Bazzoka looked cool too. The other moves? Maybe those animators need to be told G2nd is about speed...
Also, I tought Leopard Lucci look good here. It's great that they've changed they way they colour him cause so far, it just wasn't right.
Zoro worst handling? I thought the first part of Zoro/Kaku before Kaku turned giraffe was very well done.
Anyway IMHO 300 was best episode since the tower scene. And I don't read the manga so I have no inclinations.

Why is it Boss Luffy again? Can't it be some other special?
Pretty good episode. The only thing that Toei added was the flashback-esque stuff, like Zoro thinking of crying Robin, Zoro thinking of his crewmates fighting for Robin and Kaku remembering his times as Mountain Wind at Water 7. And all this additions are good. They don´t take away too much time but work so well together with how the characters are portrayed in the manga. It doesn´t contradict the real cannon and adds a little bit more of tension. That´s what an anime adaption should do. Well done on that part.
The fight between Zoro and Kaku was paced pretty well. And the part where Kaku gave Zoro his key was simply beautiful. Again, this is why the anime can surpass the manga.
Another well done thing was the entire Rucchi/Franky/Luffy confrontation. From Rucchi´s displayed superiority over Franky to Luffy activating Gear 2nd to Rucchi turning into manbeast mode it was all handled very well and climatic.
The only thing that (still) wasn´t done good is Luffy´s Jet attacks. The point of these attacks is that Luffy is punching and kicking with such a high speed that it appears as if he´s shooting with his hands. Except for the Brand New World opening the anime unfortunally didn´t get that move right yet which is a pitty actually. Hopefully they´ll return to how it was done in BNW before this arc ends.
Overall pretty neat episode. Can´t wait for the anime to finish this arc so that I can spend a weekend on re-watching it all in one go.
Very cool, Asura was pulled off quite well. Like Ivotas, I also enjoyed the little added mini flashbacks, they fit very well with the scene. I really liked seeing Kaku's Kirinmanjaro attacks animated. :D

yeah I just watched the episode on youtube and… I do agree with this. His jet attacks aren't animated well, except as you said in the BNW opening. I like how in the manga he'd just be yelling the attack and it like all ready happened XD I don't know why they didn't keep that.
other than that, wow what an amazing episode. I was very impressed by Zoro's Asura technique. Poor Kaku didn't see it coming. See this is how the anime should always be handled. No fights dragging on for no reason, no filler (or at least minimal filler) and it's going at the right pace too. I hope it stays this way for the rest of the arc
and I too hope that episode announced on April Fools Day is a joke and that the Enis Lobby arc will continue uninterupted.
I like the ep alot.I really really really like the franky,luffy and lucchi confrontation.Is was done way better than how it was done in the manga.only gripe was that Jet whip looked too slow and luffy's gear 2nd hair.other than that this was best one of the better episodes in a long whileThe music was awesome as well
Edit:Toei seems to know how to do the op fillers very well.compared to other manga adapts..Anyone agree?
can't wait to see this episode in HD
A few people seem were having trouble with the Saiyaman tracker, so I've uploaded a torrent for the Share version as I usually do:

Thank you SakuraDestiny.
That was awesome, I was wondering when Luffy would use Gear 2, and for the 2nd time it's absolutely kick ass!!
Any Sign of the HD Raw on Share?
Awesome episode. It had many hot moments and animation was good so I really enjoyed it. It's a bit sad though that Zoro's asura wasn't as well done as I excepted. It didn't give me the same feeling as when I saw it in the manga… but I still liked it. Just excepted something more... dramatic.
Kaku was sweeter in the anime with all those flashbacks although I couldn't understand what he was saying cause this was RAW episode. Something about Paulie.
Luffy finally used Gear 2 and kicked my dear Lucci's ass around the room. Oh well... but that was cool. I'm glad they have changed a bit leopard-Lucci's design. Now he looked more like he should.
The ending of the episode was awesome. It really left me waiting for more.
Pretty nice episode, covered a lot of ground -and Asura was even sweeter (and weirder) than in the manga.
Like everyone else I feel animated Gear 2 needs to work up its jet engines, even if speed is easier to portray in panels. That said, Jet bazooka was, once again, perfect in my opinion. And I have no doubt that in the final showdown (chp. 424-427) Gear 2 will look slicker than ever.

Sugeeiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
Thanks.
Yosh! I am so burning that to a DVD!
Thank you for the HD version.
which means the SD version will be available soon! Sweet ^_^ (mycomputer can't handle the HQ one =/)
Up to now no SD/WS Raw has shown up on Share. Perhaps it'll be as late as last week (friday). If there is no one until I have finished downloading the HD one, wich is at 90 %, I'll make a reencode of it and torrent it.
please do. I'd really really appreciate it.
I'm done with the HD reencoding, here are the torrents for the SD RAW:
Please be patient with them, it will sure take some time until there are more seeders. And please seed after you have downloaded it.
And now I need to go to bed, it's 2 am here and in 4,5 hours I need to get up.. so good night and enjoy the episode.
Whats SD stand for?
Thank god, I'm gonna go AMV crazy now.
Whats SD stand for?
standard definition. That's for those of us with shitty video cards and slow computers who can't run the high definition ;)
and thanks so much -Luffy-. I'll probably seed all night…. especially now since there isn't any O_o;
I don't think the filler is an April Fool's joke to be honest.
