Episode 102: 3/5
Just watched the one today due to other personal things. I'm glad they're out of the desert now as it was really starting to drag, they've been in there what seems like forever. The overall plot of this episode didn't really interest me that much, it was thrown out of left field in a way and didn't really do much to further the story apart from the whole Vivi stuff.
New to One Piece (Well Sort Of)

Funi is not that far yet, and plus the dub you caught first was probably 4kids (you poor thing) and the episode you're on now is the TV version of Funi's dub I would wait for the uncut version i suggest going back to the beginning and watching Funi's dub for episode 1-143 that's how far they are now, the next set of episodes will be out on July 6

Thank you very much! I will either do this or watch the subs if they are good! They take a bit of getting used to though :]
-
I suggest watching both, they're both great

I suggest you buy the dvd's, but look at what happened.
-
Well i started watching the subs coz i cant be bothered to wait :) im on episode 204 :P
-
Personally, I really don't like the Funi dub at all….I can't stand Chris Sabat, not a huge fan of the chick that does Luffy either, and the way she does Luffy makes his voice sound incredibly grating and annoying for me....the sub is MUCH better in my personal opinion. But to each their own. I'm glad you're digging it so far MisterTen. :) It just keeps getting better and better honestly.
-
@LUFFY#1:
I suggest you buy the dvd's, but look at what happened.
Honestly, can you chill out on that, not everyone has money to throw around to get dvds especially since it only has about 12 episodes in total and also i never said i don't buy the dvds
-
The Funi DVD's are a little over-priced honestly. 50-60 bucks for 12 episodes doesn't sit well with me at all for a half hour show. I can buy a season of True Blood on dvd for that price, and it's twice as long. I'm not saying don't support them, cause I own them all, but I can see how others are turned off by it.
-
Buying Dvd of this poor anime? Buying manga, of course. But anime? Something is wrong.
-
I thought you were banned.
Too bad.
-
Would you reccomend me re watching it in japanese or is it alright for me to jump ship from dub to sub just like that.
First Welcome to Apforums! i hope you enjoy your stay here.
but i encourage you to stay away from this forum or even the internet itself, by searching up One Piece, you'll never know, what you might of not wanted to see or know…
And I truly recommend all people that get into watching One Piece, to watch it in the (Original) Japanese Dub because they do a amazing job and they really fit the characters more better than the dub. But i truly give my respects to Funimation's dub and i could watch their dub and enjoy it, but i still feel that you should watch One Piece in Japanese first because you'll lose a bunch of great scenes that are not that greatly justified with the Funimations dub compared to the (Original) Japanese Dub..but that's just natural because nothing beats the original in anything, like in music or whatever..but if you can't multi-task and read and watch and understand at the same time, then go for Funimation's Dub, it's way more better than the 4-Kids dub..its your choice. -
What I'm planning to do is watch the dub up to the most recent episode. Then go back and re watch the series in subbed format (which will also let me share my opinions on earlier arcs).
good thinking! the best parts i really enjoyed in the beggining with the dub of funimation was the voices of the meowban brothers and Kuro..but other than that.. The (Original) japanese dub is just amazing in making the characters come to life!!!
-
lol at anyone recommending the original anime acting like purists.
-
But Zephos, Japanese voice acting is so emotional and multi-layered that all those stupid scribbles Oda drew become completely insignificant!!
-
_heh, poor kid, doesn't know a thing about where all he thinks he loves even came from, poor simple nooblet.
man ha ha, i cant even imagine what that would be liketo be cluelessly in love with a second hand source…thank god we're here for him_
-
@JERK:
lol at anyone recommending the original anime acting like purists.
So people are purists for having a damn opinion?? Sign me up for being a purist then and not a follower that loves having (in my opinion) crappy dubs shoveled down my throat.
Lol at the guy that puts SPOILERS in his sig and gets away with it.

ahahaha, whoosh, you are lost as hell as to what we're saying
Here's a hint. They aren't actually spoilers unless you're a person who shouldn't act like a purist.
And you have no idea what I can get away with…
-
Yea, I'm lost as hell….wow, sure fooled me man, great job. All I can see is you're putting spoilers in YOUR sig, which ruins the anime AND manga for others, regardless of HOW you look at it, and then stroll around touting others are purists for liking a subbed version of an anime better....is this freakin 1994?? I seriously had arguments with morons about that in highschool dude....get over it. Walking around all high and mighty when people think a subbed version of an anime is better....is ridiculous, welcome to opinions homey, everyone has one. And I could care LESS what you can get away with....putting spoilers in your sig is a tool move.
-
Yea, I'm lost as hell….wow, sure fooled me man, great job.
I didn't try to fool you, you got confused all on your own.
All I can see is you're putting spoilers in YOUR sig, which ruins the anime AND manga for others,
Arlong Park is a community of caught up people. Deal with it.
Or why don't you bitch and moan at every crew group shot with Brooke and Robin in it among others.regardless of HOW you look at it, and then stroll around touting others are purists for liking a subbed version of an anime better….is this freakin 1994?? I seriously had arguments with morons about that in highschool dude....get over it. And I could care LESS what you can get away with....putting spoilers in your sig is a tool move.
ahahaha, I thought you had figured it out
You're still completely confused. This is so simple.
Read Kaiolino's post again if you need some help. -
Look dude, I don't care if you think I'm confused, upset, whatever…..I'll bitch and ****ing moan about whatever I want to, and the spoilers you have in YOUR sig, are pretty goddamn HUGE, they aren't like a group shot of Brooke, they're PLOT spoilers, and MAJOR ones....but whatever, guess I'm just too nice for caring. I'm CAUGHT UP, but it doesn't mean you ruin it for others who aren't....deal with not being an ass.
-
Hey Kaza, do you know who Oda is?

7. Kaza will not figure this out without long pained hand holding (CORRECT)
-
Hey Kaza, do you know who Oda is?
Yea, obviously I do…thanks for the newsflash, I thought MOST people would know the creator of the anime/manga series they're on a freakin INTERNET FORUM for. I already GOT the whole point about the manga vs anime and how people stating the original anime is better are morons cause of the manga....har har har, it was a lame ass joke to make on someone to begin with, considering the Japanese dub IS the original version of the freakin ANIME....my point is Jerk's acting like an ass about the spoilers, and doesn't care about ruining major plot points in an anime/manga series that the forum is for....that's all. :) Is it so hard to understand that not EVERYONE here has seen and read everything yet?? Most people come here to talk about something they love, cause they dig it, and having a SPOILER tag on something, or not even having spoilers in your sig, shouldn't be too much to ask.
8. Jerk thinks I still care about the purist bullshit (CORRECT)

I GOT that point but ME and my RANDOM CAPITAlizations STILL are mad about SOME other DUMB bullSHIT. :/
-
Oh, I'm sorry, was that too much for you….perhaps I should emphasize things with retarded colorings instead, you know, make everything color coded for a 1st grader to understand....maybe next time, for now....how did you put it, deal with it.

i started watching One Piece in 2009, in two weeks i catch the anime, around chapter 400 and something :o
in two weeks, the entire anime xD
Wow. It took me a roughly a year to finnish the anime. (no joke)
My brother and sister watched it in about a month and a half during which whenever I walked in the room and watched it with them or talked about it (because it was too awesome) I got MAJOR SPOILERS. You heard me, I got a full blow of spoilers and I regret it to this day. -_- So now I stay updated to the current anime/manga and spoil my siblings rotten! (especially with the really big recent happenings)(Edit: after reading this post I realized it brought up the question why didn't I just watch it with them? I enjoyed taking it slowwly rather than staying up all night and day on a marathon. Now I kinda wish I did watch it with them…)
lol I'm stupid.
Edit again: Yeah, sorry CupidKirby, I was really bored when I wrote this. Nice avatar by the way.

It amuses me greatly when people come into a thread and clutter up a page with mindless banter about a topic that's already been widely discussed 90% of the time at AP forums.
Yes, it does ruin this guy's thread. Hope you're enjoying the anime, MisterTen.

I know, right?
I think the banter is what makes this site interesting to me. -
Blimey it’s been a while! Truth be told I went off One Piece, didn’t have as much of an active interest as I did before and practically vanished from these forums. But then after seeing the latest cover art for Series 3 this afternoon and seeing how epic and exciting it looked I decided to continue watching. Mad for a cover art to inspire me to continue watching but it’s worked and now I love One Piece more than ever!
Episode 103: 3.5/5
I’ve gotta be honest, I hated the Baroque Works parts of these episodes when normally I enjoy them. The reason being 1: I didn’t like Mrs Merry Christmas and Mr 4 and 2: it was too in your face what with all the shouting and squabbling, I don’t like that in a show which is why I don’t watch soap operas. But the Toto and Vivi scenes rescued the episode for me as they were quite touching; also the Crocodile scenes continue to interest me as I have no idea what he’s planning. But my favourite part of the episode was Luffy beating up on the camel, made me laugh and made me realize I made a good choice in continuing with this series. Also when does a new theme kick in as I’m starting to get sick of the current one. Same applies for the ending. But at least the actual show music is good.
Episode 104: 4.5/5
Hooray, enjoyed this episode a lot more. This episode reminded me why I love Baroque Works so much, what with all their shiftiness and ruthlessness. Shame to see Mr 3 bite the dust, not that I liked him, but still a death’s a death. I didn’t really enjoy the “fight” between Luffy and Vivi because Luffy quitting just like that seemed a bit random. Back on the Baroque Works front Mrs Merry Christmas and Mr 2 still are annoying me. It’s weird for Mr because I didn’t mind him when we first met him. I wish they’d feature Mr 1 and Miss Double finger more as they seem to be the most interesting along with Miss All Sunday and the head honcho himself. And that crocodile is one sly dog, so friggin epic. Mr 0 isn’t so bad either.
-
…mr. 3 ain't dead
-
You might want to skip the third opening when it does come on
-
-
@Cyan:
…mr. 3 ain't dead
Oh, I just assumed that getting eaten by that crocodile would have killed him.
-
Episode 105: 4/5
I didn’t enjoy this episode that much in the first half, there wasn’t a lot worthwhile happening. I don’t like how they’re trying to make Kohza badass, I think his design is trying to inform people of his coolness but so far all he’s done is sit around, I’m sure he’ll get his time to shine in future episodes but for now he’s just some guy with glasses. Thankfully the second half of the episode was much for interesting, I’m glad that Smoker came back, him being one of my favourite characters and all but I still wish they’d done more with him; all he seems to do when he’s around is chase Luffy, it wouldn’t hurt to venture into different plots with him.
Episode 106: 5/5
Loved this episode from start to finish, sure it was mainly talking but it was still epic nonetheless. I wish they’d done more with the Luffy/Smoker trapped inside the cage; but saying that I did enjoy the little bit of trivia about the Marine Prisons being made from the sea stone thing, this show manages to constantly surprise you even if it’s with little things. Speaking of surprises it was interesting to find out what Miss All Sunday’s, Crocodile’s and Pell’s devil fruit powers were, I just wish the battle between them (Pell and Miss All Sunday) had been a bit longer as we haven’t had a proper fight since Wapol if I remember correctly though I’m sure we’ll get one soon what with the eventual Luffy/Crocodile encounter. And maybe I’ve forgotten something but what about Sanji? Are Baroque Works not aware of his existence? Same goes for Chopper.
Episode 107: 5/5
Wow the Alabasta arc has really hit it’s stride now. I was wondering whether or not I would enjoy a Cobra/Kohza centric episode as normally I don’t like their scenes but this time around their scenes where what made this episode spectacular. I had no idea that Cobra was Mr 2, I started to have a hunch when that ship crashed but I was still surprised when the truth was confirmed. Back to the rebellion and now I’m looking forward to it. I normally hate gun fights and all that palaver, I much prefer the pre-war things, the stuff that leads to war (eg: I find all the stuff that Hitler did before WW2 much more interesting than the war itself) but this time looks to be an exception. Didn’t expect Kozha to get shot, and is that little kid dead? Overall an exciting episode.
-
Don't worry, the kid's not dead. And Baroque Works are not aware of Sanji and Chopper since they've never seen them before. This was actually established earlier on in the arc, at least in the anime.

Ah I remember now. That was when Mr 2 was on the ship wasn't it?
Also I like the new ending, not my favourite but better than the previous one. For the record my favourite ending is the 2nd one.

The new OP starts at Episiode 116
Whatever you do, do not watch it
It contains an incredible spoiler
It took the suprise from something very surprising -

-

You'd be surprised what a person can live through in this series.
-

At Episiode 131 it is safe to watch the OP
Edit: By the way Episiode 131-143 are filler so you should skip them.
Definition of what filler is:
! > A segment of anime, whether it be an entire episode or part of one, which does not appear in the manga of the title. Fillers, as the name implies, "fills" an episode with non-canonical material which has been written usually by the same company which animates it. Animation companies utilize fillers for a number of reasons: ** If the companies feel that the anime is catching up to the manga too quickly, they will insert entire filler episodes to allow the manga writer to write more chapters. ** Anime versions are usually able to adapt at least two manga chapters per anime episode. If the anime writers feel that a crucial chapter should not be aired in the last part of an episode, they will add a filler segment to make up for this, and air the crucial parts in a fresh episode. ** If the anime gains huge popularity amongst the viewers, anime companies often add fillers to extend the anime, capitalizing off the popularity (one example of this is Naruto, airing fillers for over a year, turning the anime stale).
so technically after you have watched episiode 130 you should watch episiode 144 next and there you can enjoy one of the best openings to the fullest

As long as it's not too far fetched I'll be happy. But then again it will be no fun if how he survived is just plain and simple.

I'll check it out, filler in One Piece has been ok so far. The Apis stuff was ok though was quite crap in places and the desert stuff was bearable. So yeah I think I'll watch. Out of curiousity who sings the 3rd opening?

Don't worry, there is one.

Just wait till you get to episode 126. New World Symphony ftw. And yeah, there's really only one far fetched survival in the series but after that it's all good.

Vic Mignogna.
Still the best dubbed song.

Yeah. But really, dude, don't watch the third opening til the episode stated above (131).
-
Out of curiousity has there been any news on larger boxsets. I'm hesistant at buying the "voyages" as knowing my luck as I soon as I buy the first one a larger boxset will be announced.
-
They most likely won't release larger box sets until all the voyages are out. If at all.
