419: ''The Crew's Whereabouts - The Island of Giant Birds and the Pink Paradise!''

Crossword

So I guess for this episode we'll need some ooga-booga for the Torino Island natives, and some brain bleach for Kamabakka. Sanji's going to need a tub of that stuff.

Title: ''The Crew's Whereabouts - The Island of Giant Birds and the Pink Paradise!''
Chapters Covered: A teensy bit of 523 and 524
New Characters: None that I'm aware of.
Animation Director: Katsumi Ishizuka (****1/2)
Time: 8:30PM EST

Well, these two stories are the ones that I'm the least interested in, but go ahead, hit me with something cool.

MajorMedic

The Sanji part of the episode should be interesting , I could care less about Chopper though.

Dunno but, the show's up now.

EDIT: guess we're getting this instead of commercials

lelandlancaster

Oh yeah more wrestling during the break lmao. _

ultEmate

Nothing new in Chopper's part.

gold_rogger15

Go Whiteshorts! You Can Defeat Green Shorts!

Velguador

Damn, who drew this episode, and why did he think it was a good idea to scrap the word 'proportions' from his memory?

Piraterek

Again! he does it again! that wrestling scene!

lelandlancaster

I have never been more interested in wrestling than right now.

Itachirido

Poor poor sanji …

Usopp and Robin next week...
Back to wrestling

lelandlancaster

Woohoo Robin next week!

Therrester

Sucks to be Sanji right now xD

Pirate_Beers

Main points
-hancock still dere dere/daydreaming
-Chopper appearing nakama in his dream.
-sanji and elizabeth

HaxeyeMihawk

Wow the wrestling followed up by the okamas for the one two punch pukes. Idk how Sanji could hallucinate that long.

WolfClawStudios

So how was the episode guys? As good as last weeks?

Piraterek

Sanji is suffereing heavy mental torture. While poor chopper is being cooked.

gold_rogger15

They Did Sanji's cover story perfect and I liked the filler content they used

Crossword

The portion of the preview with Robin reminded me of those Holocaust movies, with the Jews hiding in inhospitable, wooden structures hiding from the evil Gestapo. That's the story that I'm the most interested in, so I'm looking forward to seeing what's done with it. Robin being in chains once again has nothing to do with it, hear?

Sano

Best part of the episode.

Funimation is steaming it right now! Get it while it's hot!

Gabbe

i want suuuubs very much :wub:

WolfClawStudios

My thoughts:

Luffy and Hancock- Really nice. Hahaha Hancock is awesome
Chopper- Ok, it was kind of boring though.
Sanji- Best part….Elizabeth....rofl

OrangeNinjasSucks

Man this filler bits are so funny! Just when I thought the Super Fancy Franky was funny the Sanji/Elizabeth scenes had me rollin'! I was just waiting for Sanji's reaction!!! Hope they animate the coverstories for Okama Sanji!!!

Crossword

Oh Toei, you sneaky bastards, slipping in Vol. 52's cover like that.

I guess I can sort of sympathize with Sanji a bit. I mean, how many times has one spotted a hot chick in the distance, but then up close…is another story entirely.

Hancock looks kind of weird in Ishizuka's style.

demonkicksanji

Oh man, Sanji's segment of the episode…it's almost too difficult to convey in words. XD I mean, I knew what to expect, but dear God...the music just really made it for me and way it was animated was just so surreal. It was so dramatic and overly, stereotypically cliched in terms of "love at first sight" romance that as soon as the reveal was finally shown I couldn't help but almost react the same way Sanji did. XDD Chopper's part was okay, it kept me entertained but was greatly overshadowed by Sanji's part. Overall, this was really a solid episode for me. ^^

Ace_san_is_awesome

Okay, just watched it and loved it! Here are my reactions…
Hancock/Luffy---Meh, not that interested, already read it. At least it wasn't as creepy as last week's.
Chopper---Story was okay, mostly I was just squeeling over Chopper's cutness ^_^ God I am such a fan-girl lolz ^^;
Sanji---.......OMG LOLZ. Yes, I knew what to expect. The WHOLE TIME I was just thinking "Sanji, just let it go man" but then it happened and I was just ROFL!!!!! Dude, just YES! Poor Sanji, if he ever finds out where Luffy's been, he's going to freakin' KILL HIM!

Admiral-Scarz

Good lord! Sanji's segment played out like a classic horror film. Except the killer is a cross dresser.

Bobjr

I would have liked to see the villagers and the birds fighting more, and Hancock's size is still changing all the time it seems.

TealBlueShore

I feel soooo bad for Sanji right now. I mean, I remember reading the chapter for the first time, but this… you can't help but laugh, be shocked, and feel bad for him. Or at least, that could be just me. shrugs When he was being asked all those question through the door I was like, "Ohhhh noooooo, you're digging yourself into a pit you can't get back out of!!!" XD

And Chopper was pitifully adorable, as usual ^.^

And Hancock is just hilarious right now. It's funny, when we were first watching it, the video froze on Luffy with those thick angry eyebrows during Hancock's fantasy XDDD

@Bobjr:

if the cover stories get animated, we'll see more of the villagers and the birds fighting.

also, poor sanji… but srsly, i laughed when he said he loves dresses and flowery prints. little did he know that they were trying to determine if he was one of "them."

ahh, you beat me to it, haha. hilarious how we thought the same thing!

Adamant

Oh my god, what a great episode.

Chopper's story in the manga was quite dull, and Sanji's was just a one-panel joke with some lead-in, but they were both wonderfully stretched out with tons of great humor bits here in the anime. Absolutely fantastic.

The Hancock bit was taken from the manga this time. The scene was rewritten slightly so it could be cut off early, so I take it we'll see the rest of it in next week.

Soccer

I honestly was disappointed at Chopper's part. I thought they would have added some awesome extras like they did with Nami and Franky instead of constant flashbacks and unnecessary scence to draw the story out. However, said that, I was quite impressed at Sanji's scenes ;D. My eyes were glued to the screen as soon as his part started, and the time change, like in Zoro vs. Ryuuma's fight, was a pretty smart idea and a nice change.

I'm really looking forward to Robin's ;D.

Urouge

Chopper's was rather bland to be honest. They killed a lot of time with him dreaming about the crew for no good reason. Sanji's on the other hand, was one that really had me going. The buildup was just great. I love how this episode made it so the fact that he's being chased and asked to wear a dress is entirely his own fault.

HoboBozo

Great episode. Chopper's scenes really heightened the pain of the crew being separated while adding a touch of mystery and exoticness to the setting. Sanji's scenes were just hilarious. This episode and the previous episode have been more interesting than most of the action-based episodes.

Hinscher

don't know if all you guys saying choppers sucked watched just raw or the subbed by funimation

i watched only the subebd version by funimation and i like chopper part more than sanji's maybe it was due to knowing sanji was being tricked by a dude the whole time that made it not as good.

but damn choppper is funny and so damn cute. Imean usually i hate the "cute" character of a show because it seems pushed and htey are pointless, but chopper just rules.

goty

Wow, that was hilarious, even better than last week's.
LuffyxHancock is still bringing in the laughs, Chopper's story was cute, but Sanji's reactions were just priceless and made the episode…gotta love Ishizuka's work.

@Soccer:

The problem is that Chopper ended in a pretty uninspired island, me thinks. Kinda hard to work on his scenario, so i guess they chose to explore his loneliness.
In fact i think Usopp's destination is really bland too, let's see how they'll handle it.
