Man, I don't know why, but I still hope they don't censor the whole
! half-of-Whitebeard's-face-burnt-off-from-the-magma
thing, even though there's almost no doubt that Toei Animation is going to have to go through such measures; it's just that I don't want such a shocking moment such as that to be toned down by the anime since, well, to me, that is, it would sorta ruin that whole dark, OMG experience…but whatever, lol, it pro'lly won't be too big of a deal as the arc progresses on....
'Nyways, that was...quite a random ramble...but yeah, I agree that this episode was especially awesomely animated, as posters before me have mentioned; Crossword's "Whitebeard the human smokestack" got me roflmaoing for practically fifteen minutes; overall, a decent, finely put episode, I suppose. ;)
And Goty, what episode did Kawamura work on again? :o I think I forgot..xD
[[B]EDIT: I still think that most episodes in this arc, so far, have had corresponding chapters that were a helluva lot more epic than the episode itself, but whatever….Also kinda sucks that Toei seemed to remove quite a fairly large portion of the blood (and swords :P) on WB and several marines that got caught in his super-tornado-attack when compared to how it looks in the manga...either way, though, I don't wanna sound like some gore-craving freak or anything and have to point out every little bloodless detail and all, it's just a little pet peeve of mine that I can't help but notice after reading the manga. :P I know, that's a lame excuse, but I guess that's just what I'll go with, lol..O_o Nevertheless, One Piece is still a brilliant series, though, so I don't think it really matters what Toei decides to do or not do, really. :P ]
