The 2nd half of Brooke's flashback. Hopefully, Toei didn't put in too much filler. But, we'll have to wait and find out.
Watch and discuss…..

I wonder, think we'll get to see human Brook in this one? That would be kinda cool.
-
I highly doubt it as this episode was being animated long before we were even close to Brook's human flashback.

Since you people seem to be unable to copy/paste watching instructions…
1. Download this
2. install and run
3. Fuji TV is channel #67620Hopefully it's a good episode ^_^

According to Toei executives at the One Piece panel at last year's AX, it takes roughly two months for them to animate an entire episode, and I do believe Brook's flashback occured over two months ago.
But I doubt we'll see human Brook today.

I hope we won't - I'm sure that they have good enough brains not to, since it wouldn't be faithful to the original storyline, + if they'd show his face it'd be kind of a confirmation that he'd join the crew…
-
Tch, loooooooooooooooooooong recap..!
-
Haha wow half the episode is going to be in that crappy flashback border.
-
I think we're in for a loooooooooong recap of the Laboon arc.
-
-
Were you guys expecting anything else? Of course Toei was gonna take this chance for filler. It's not so bad for me as I've forgotten most of this. I didn't even remember the scene with Merry's head. Now I remember why Merry had that metal brace around her neck.
-
Does Toei really care that little about its fans?
-
Its probably just me, but Luffy sounds a bit different.
-
That scene of Brook and Ryuuma laughing at the same time was pointless beyond belief, and confusing.
Okay, this episode blew chunks. We can all agree on that.
-
Next week looks promising.
-
Wow, that episode was pretty bad. The ending was nice, after the crappy choreographed Brook vs. Ryuuma I mean. And before someone goes "HA! Living Brook was in the flashback!" that was with his eyes shadowed just like he was in the manga.
-
I don't believe it. Right when the episode was about to get out of the flashback, my computer suddenly ruined it. As in the program totally froze, and everything I brought up did the same, so by the time I restarted my computer, (which took way too long for some reason) the episode was over. Ah, well. It seemed like a crappy episode anyway. Shame, too, since Thriller Bark has been pretty good in the anime until now. Hopefully things get back on track after this.
-
I don't. I thought it was good. I haven't seen the Laboon arc in years so it was nice to see some scenes from it after so long. And I thought the fight at the end was good. Ryuuma finally stabbed Brook's eye socket and we actually got to briefly see human Brook(well, everything but his face). I'd give the episode a 7/10.
-
We can only hope for a few filler arcs after Thriller Bark, but I bet we only get one like last time if even that. Does anyone know if One Piece gets better ratings when it's canon than when it's filler? I doubt it.
@Strongbad456: What do you give a great episode? a 21/10?
-
Did they get his skin color right?

I'm hoping for the mini-arcs that Oda puts on the front pages to be animated. That plus one filler arc should put us into good shape for a while.

Nah a 15/10 would do just fine. I'm overly optimistic like that. And no, I'm not being sarcastic. I'm seriously that optimistic about things
. -
How would only one filler arc put us into good shape? We had one filler arc between Post Water 7 and Thriller Bark and look what we're dealing with.
-
I can't believe they're so lazy that they can't redo the animation for Laboon.
It's hilarious really.

Buuhan-I actualy LIKE the independant filler arcs.Nice litle offtopicness to lighten up the mood-and not in the midle of arcs where it is not supossed to happen.
-
Here comes lobolover, replying to a post with something that has nothing to do with it.
I didn't say anything bad about your 'precious' little filler arcs. Quite the contrary, I want them.
-
I actually enjoyed that ep, I forgot the Laboon arc and it recapped it for me, finally next ep looks like things are speeding up, I think Luffy vs. Moria will start next week, and etc!
-
WOW
We are almost at episode# 400. And to think that Luffy defeated Lucci around the 300th ep.. and now we're basically at the 400th. -_-
It's pretty apparent that pacing of this series has drastically changed. Back in the day, episodes 1-100 covered from the beginning of the story, throughout all of the East Blue, to knee deep into the final Arabasta War.
It's kind of humorous actually.
-
It was 309 Lobster. Also there were 16 episodes of filler. That makes a total of 25 episodes from 300 leaving 26 episodes. Most of these 50 episodes were just taken up by filler episodes. Which of course has nothing to do with pacing.
Oh and while 1 to 100 did all those arcs, 100 to 200 had only Skypiea and part of Arabasta while 200-300 only had Water 7 and part of Enies Lobby.
The pacing has changed but not that much.
So yeah, your argument fails.

This weeks ratings are much better than last week.
-
YES!!! One Piece beat Doraemon!!! Take that you fuckin' shitty cat!!!
Anyway One Piece doing better this week in the ratings was to be expected. Last week, the ratings went down because of Golden Week I believe.
-
Yay One Piece did pretty good and kicked Naruto's ass. It's surprising that One Piece beat out Doraemon though. That's pretty popular.
-
It was 309 Lobster.
I said around episode 300
As in close to.
Also there were 16 episodes of filler.
Yes.. lots and lots of filler. (muuuch more then before)
Hence the pacing issue
The pacing has changed but not that much.
Yes.. it has.

longs for the days when an episode covered 2-3 chapters

Also, very slightly over halfway is NOT "almost at".
-
This episode was a bad joke. :sick:
-
Well anyway, I'm gonna stick by my conviction that Toei is only doing this now so that they can afford to have 2-3 chapter fights later. Can you imagine a dragged out Warrior of Hope? Seriously guys, what would you prefer, these episodes dragged out or the fights dragged out? Hmm?:wassat:
So then, wouldn't it be cool if Toei animated Monsters and put it in as filler. Like when Zoro takes out Ryuma and he slowly goes down, his body sends some sort of warrior message of his past or something. I think that would be really cool^^
-
Buuhan-I never said you didn't,I forgot to put up a "yeah" in front.
-
@Gerchak:

QFT, baby, QFT. Let me know if they ever get back to that. I don't even think I'll buy these Funi episodes when they come out.
-
Oh, really creepy. I hate these recap episodes. They could just indicate "Please, if you don't know what the fuck happened with Laboon, just buy and read the manga, it's not like our job is to waste time".
-
the recap part was boring. but the latter part really pumped me up cant wait for the next ep.. the no heart part was funny… skull joke!
-
Sanji becoming full super saiyan next episode :devil:
-
Whoa, almost the whole episode was flashback & recap, and although the few minutes in the end make up for it, the pacing is still painfully slow. It really doesn't look like they would be speeding up to include more than one chapter per episode either.
"Where we're going, we won't need eyes to see."

of course not they are still dangerously close to the manga so expect 1 chapter=1 anime episode for a while. good thing thriller bark is not that long of an arc and they can have filler after that. heck if things get bad then they should just have 1 anime episode every two weeks. i would much prefer that than to not have any anime at all.
-
Not a bad episode for a filler episode. Glad they used it for Laboon recap rather than stretching the chapter a mile long like they've been doing.
-
smurfx-how exactly are they dangerously close?The TB arc is finished in the manga now,they can do fillers LATER.
-
You don't take into consideration the animating and planning time. They were deep into animating this arc when it was still going in the Manga. An anime episode isn't animated, voice overed, and edited in a week.
-
I know that,but they could do more to this-like just plain bloody ask.
