Great Story > Animation
This episode was fucking great. Someone needs to make a "Finish Him!" gif for that part where Whitebeard tosses Akainu into the the air then backhands him.
Is Vasco Shot the ugliest mofo ever or WHAT?
Holy Shit…
And WB made Akainu his bitch for like... 15 mins in that episode.
Great stuff.
Great Story > Animation
Which story you like better is totally up to the person.
But bad animation is just bad animation.
Now THAT'S a fight. … or should I say beat down.
The Blackbeards have shown up. This is getting interesting. Whitebeard is a bad ass.
The Second half of this arc is leaps and bounds greater than the first half, I'm glad these last few episodes have been fairly consistently good and exciting.
Although the mysterious disappearance of the Shichibukai, Crocodile, Sentoumaru + PX Army, Kizaru, Aokiji, and the giants is really strange..... very strange.
Me hopes you are not an anime only watcher lady ;P
@No:
Me hopes you are not an anime only watcher lady ;P
Not a lady. And I am an anime only watcher. A very dangerous thing to be on an internet forum, but indeed I am.
All I remember is that Itachi's skull thing that appeared looked epic, Narut's 4 tails fight with Orochimaru awesome and the rasengan always looks top notch. When I saw Marco and now how the last shot with Blackbeard, it was wtf.
haha people here just hate to admit that the naruto animation is better(at least in the last few arcs) than the one piece animation…everytime they post that shitty episode where pain fights the kyuubi cause they have no other arguments...but that episode was done by an idiotic animator who has that creepy style...but the rest of the pain invasion arc was done very well.....anyway :
manga : one piece > naruto
anime : naruto > one piece...just admit it....
Oh I usually don't, I tuned in for last episode and this episode because epic things happened in the manga and I wanted to see how they turned out, I was disappointed. Also, like I said, most of the episode was pretty good, it was only the Akainu vs WB fight that killed it for me.
If most of it was good, why did you give it a 3/10? :wassat:
Toei simply cannot get away with Halfbeard in the anime. One Piece is shown on Sunday mornings and at least they tried to make some kind of compromise for it. Better than nothing.
And also, this chapter was extremely short so it only makes sense to extend the fight so it can be long enough. I don't understand how adding length to a good fight makes it less epic. It's not like we're ever gonna see these two fight again, so why not make the most of it?

i don't know what you mean by animation but to me Naruto shipuuden have better artwork in most of its episode but animation wise, not mush different.. like One Piece, only on certain episode naruto have very good animation for example like in episode 133,167 shipuuden.. :happy:

Wow. To save everyone from my rant on how bad I think Naruto is, I'll leave it in spoiler form.
! Have you been watching the same Naruto that everyone else has?
No wait, that's right, no one watches Naruto anymore.
Yes the animation style changed alot in One Piece, but it just changes. It's not as horrid as the, lack of a better term, Shit that you see with Naruto.
I can safely say that OP at least stays within the realm of normal 'physics' when it gets a little crazy with the animation.
See the Naruto/Pain fight to get what I mean. Honestly, it looks like a god damn 90's Nickelodeon cartoon. Yeah, the one that was drawn by 8 year olds.
And don't even bring up the story. Little red riding hood has a better story than Naruto at this point.
I will admit that it was good, once. But it's just a steaming pile of shit. It's as if Kishimoto had a bad case of the runs and named it Naruto:Shippuden.
Not to mention the fact that over half of the episodes in the anime are nothing but filler.
It's not like it isn't bad enough, but no, they have to throw in enough random story lines and god awful characters that it makes you forget about the horridness of the actual plot.
I have to take a railroad spike and shove it through every damn oraface that I can think of just to get the damn thing out of my mind.
The worst part of this series is how it makes you want to watch it just to see it end!
It started out fine but as it progressed, you sit there hoping to dear god that the torture would finally be over. It's the Pain that never ends.
I think this episode was wonderful, I'm glad they made WhiteBeards' injury a little more kid friendly.
Not that I wouldn't mind seeing half his face burnt to a crisp,
but alot more kids will go to sleep tonight without having to think of Freddy Krueger.
I wonder if Japan ever got Nightmare on Elm Street…
The animation was a little off as far as the angles, I mean, if you want a dramatic running scene,
you don't do a front view 'Run to the camera' look. It honestly makes you look... Well... Cartoonish.
Yeah it's a cartoon, so what. I still rate it pretty high.
why are we degrading such a great episode thread by talking about naruto?
because naruto is awesome:ninja::ninja::ninja:
OT: good episode i guest.. hate the changes but at least Toei try to give something in return..
Which story you like better is totally up to the person.
But bad animation is just bad animation.
Quit whining you brat. Its people like you that ruin an amazing episode.
Maybe stepping back for a second and realizing that anime=/=srs bizness would be the best course of action at this juncture. :/
–-----
I'm just kind of ready for the timeskip, seeing as Marineford has been, in my opinion, extremely anti-climatic (which I suppose is the point, but effects my enjoyment of said arc regardless).
@mdmartin101:
While many people were complaining about Luffy not being dead silent at the end of last episode, I actually prefer what they did here.
Instead of Luffy breaking, his crying became harsher. He was without a doubt broken, and while in the manga he just fell apart and once, here he last all reasoning, simply crying, than screaming, and than just silent.
I was one of those people but after watching this episode, I'm really glad they did it how they did. The anime has not been better than the manga lately but that one far surpassed my expectations. I can look past Whitebeard not losing half his face for that.
I mean just holy shit…
@Ady:
but the rest of the pain invasion arc was done very well…..anyway :
That's funny, cause last time i checked the likes of Naruto forums they were enraged about how the anime "ruined" such a "great" arc. Heck, most people there agree that OP is handled better.
And the only reason they showed Hidan's decapitation was because that couldn't kill him. It had zero effect and barely any blood. The anime has plenty of censoring, as you can see here. The standards are the same, if not even heavier.
But like others said, let's not ruin this thread with Naruto, please.
Amazing use of music in this episode, very emotional and deliberate. Loved it.
I feel sorry for that guy that got incinerated by Akainu's magma as he headed towards Luffy to kill him. R.I.P nameless pirate. :cwy:
I've seen WB vs Akainu like 4 times now. Never get tired of seein WB earthquake punch to the head and then tossin him up in the air and smashin him like the little bitch he really is. I can only dream of WB woulda done to him if he were at full strength.
Also, Sengoku may well be the most useless character ever. WB is sendin everythin to hell and all he can do is stand there lookin in shock as everythin goes to hell…..
Also, Sengoku may well be the most useless character ever. WB is sendin everythin to hell and all he can do is stand there lookin in shock as everythin goes to hell…..
! Sengoku: Er, stuff this for a joke… resigns
Positives: Akainu getting owned, Luffy's spine-chilling howl (one of the only examples where the anime's creative license has worked) no Buggy filler, the arrival of Majin BuuBlackeard and Company,and for making me cry again, dammit ;_;
Negatives: No Halfbeard, although it was expected, it does mess with upcoming plot points rather unforgivingly.
Great episode… And I love Avalo's design.
Hope he is Sanji's

! well…I won't be arguing with you guys here cause it's the wrong topic and I'm outnumbered anyway...all I can say is that at least naruto won't add tenten fillers when somebody is about to die...like one piece killed the episode when ace was about to be finished adding buggy talking to
a den den mushi for half of the episode..when we are serious - we are serious...when we joke, we joke -that's how it's supposed to be...but don't get me wrong...I love one piece...I love it more than naruto...but even so I must say I was disappointed with ID...and even more with the Whitebeard war arc(some episodes were awesome, including this one-but many were bellow average)....I have no clue why you guys always complain about the kyuubi vs pain fight...like I said before it was only 1 single episode that was done by an idiot(he has done an early episode in naruto when sasuke fought naruto at the valley of the end--and his stupid style was the same)...yeah I too hate it...but my opinion is still the same-the rest of the arc was very good....and I won't talk about jiraiya vs pain and itachi vs sasuke which were done perfect...1 chapter = 1 episode is just not working...
1 chapter = 1 episode is working good for me actually = less filler arcs
1 chapter = 1 episode is working good for me actually = less filler arcs
…that may be true...but you get your fillers in the cannon stuff...and those aren't even good ones....it's war for God's sake....there are thousands of people ...they could have made so many filler fights...but no...we see hancock and buggy...wouldn't you prefer to see all the good stuff in an arc...and afterwards a stupid filler arc which you don't even have to watch?
Well the anime's supposed to be for kids so(especially the perv ones who lieks boobs.), I just skip the scene whenever Hancock goes on boob show and except for Buggy just gotta love the guy. Well as you said it would've been nice w/o those fillers.
even the kids gotta be getting sick of buggy as much as i love the guy.
i haven't been coming around too much, but i definately wanted to say this was a great episode. i was expecting this to turn out a lot worse than just a second hole. I'm just glad everything seemed to turn out pretty well and I hope we don't go back to normal filler mode next episode.

Yea everyone's sick of Buggy. But I'm guessing the anime team has their hands tied about who they can use for filler. Although, I wouldn't see much of a problem with them using the Pacifistas in a bit of filler fighting pirates. It would be boring, but better than Buggy. Oh well, I guess there's little they could be allowed to do, I wouldn't have minded seeing a bit of Smoker vs. Hancock filler either.
Wait…..the next episode is titled "Setting the Score" ?
Not "The Great Pirate Edward Newgate".

Meh. How lame. The next episode is all about the great man himself. It shoulda retained its manga title.
GOD DAMN!! was Akainu one bad sob or what??!! he basically took all that Halfbeard had to give and still did more damage..
Now you really have to wonder how post time-skip Ruffi is going to whoop his ass after he just dealt with the worlds strongest punch and stand up to toast white beard's nicely trimmed beard like that

Akainu was WB's bitch. That is what a badly injured and dying Whitebeard did to him. Just imagine what full strength Whitebeard woulda done. It would not have been pretty for him./ It woulda been more 1 sided than a gang rape.
^
according to the source material, he definitely wasn't Whitebeard's bitch.

Oh come on don't be so harsh on Sengoku. It's a well documented fact that people who have reflexes that border on the speed of light and can move faster then the wind have great difficulties crossing short distances. I mean Luffy and pretty much every other pirate reached Ace's execution platform with the pace of an 80 year old woman with a broken foot. To actually reach Whitebeard Sengoku will probably need at least an hour or so
haha people here just hate to admit that the naruto animation is better
I tried watching Naruto once. It was really boring. I really can't see understand the fascination some seem to have with it. The chaarcters are boring, the fights are lame and the whole ninja bs power system just looks stupid
Now if you said something like Elfen Lied I can understand but Naruto? Dude seriously?
Akainu was WB's bitch. That is what a badly injured and dying Whitebeard did to him. Just imagine what full strength Whitebeard woulda done. It would not have been pretty for him./ It woulda been more 1 sided than a gang rape.
Tell me about it. That would have been so awesome. I would have loved to Whitebeard and the commanders just going head to head with the Admirals and Sengoku and Garp. All the fodder on the side just seemed to get in the way. Especially of Whitebeard
Rufi …¬¬
Well, I liked the episode (especially the music that plays when Edward is annihilating Akainu)
poor akainu,that scene when Edward crushed Akainu on the floor,is to much Saint Seiya for me.
Luffy was strange,now is his time to make awkward sound instead of Ace,
thankfully, the anime is going to forget hin for a while now,
Yes, censorship was rough, but nothing more
The voice of Vasco / Basco (his laughter is spacious)
is kinda cool, but wanted a drunk voice.
SJW was fun, no caveman voice, a funny voice
just me or it seems that Akainu died in this episode?
^
according to the source material, he definitely wasn't Whitebeard's bitch.
According to the source material, Akainu got punched into a hole by a wounded, dying old man and stayed there until the Blackbeard confrontation ended.
^
yeah, by getting attacked from behind while confronting Marco.
I'm not saying that it's not possible for Whitebeard to defeat Akainu in his current state, I'm just saying that it wouldn't be this easy if Whitebeard attacked him in front of his face.
just me or it seems that Akainu died in this episode?
You're not alone. It looked like Whitebeard just threw him into the sea. Of course if that's the case someone will rescue him, oh, and can you imagine Toei adding a filler scene where someone is comically pumping the water out of his stomach like Chopper does to Luffy?
Yet, that's not the case. I can't actually remember specifics on what happened to Akainu but he's alive and well and will get pwned by Luffy at some time.
Also , why did they cut Doflamingo's line ?
I mean , it could have prevented the need to use the exact same flashback three times in one episode.
Flamingo had a line? I totally forgot about that…
Maybe in the next episode.
Or never...
I don't understand this. Changing lines is one thing... but erasing or giving them to another character... what's the purpose of that?
…
...
...how many more episodes til The Beatles come to save Luffy's ass?
Next episode?
Episode after that?
;)
ironically, two guys actually died on the same day - Ace was obv pwned by Akainu's fist of love, and if anyone knows about Homestuck, Tinkerbitch killed Pupa (AKA Vriska killed Tavros) ; A ;
both penetrated through the chest with no mercy and comicness in their deaths (I swear I ttly thought Moulin Rouge when Luffy started crying cause it almost sounded like laughing... and Hussie can be so cruel.)
what can be worse? fist of love made of magma, or a lance of love made of your own lance?
Flamingo had a line? I totally forgot about that…

yeah he was laughing like crazy and said: fu fu fu fu fu!! This is the best! Things are really getting awesome now !…maybe the VA was busy or something
Meh. How lame. The next episode is all about the great man himself. It shoulda retained its manga title.
Meh. If I were an anime-only fan, I'd rather not have the ending spoiled so savagely.
It's almost sad watching this episode because its like teasing us what One Piece could be in the Anime. I mean this episode was PERFECT and it did exactly what an Anime should, expand on and make the cannon of the Manga better.
I realize that this chapter had a ton of more material to work with plot wise than the previous chapters, but from here on every episode should be of this quality because the Manga only gets faster as we go along.
@Ady:
manga : one piece > naruto
anime : naruto > one piece…just admit it....
dude naruto is a bad show,like you said "just admit it"
everyone knows it and it was stated over and over again
for nearly a decade until now 2011,I'm surprised people like you still exist
Why are you still holding back until now?
How long do you plan to suffer?
I expect you read naruto hate comments everyday and anger is the only thing that keeps you holding back,
it's like defending your own crap for 10 years,that nobody wants and thinking you're doing something right,
instead of staying on topic,I'll give you a favor of realization
animation wise they look crap compare to other anime series
please pick something better(to compare)next time for your own sake,
so that you don't look stupid and ruin your credibility
don't be a fanboy&butthurt and thinking op fans celebrate,coz your so-called "best arc" in naruto~was raped! by studio pierrot
admitting op manga>naruto manga is a big step for your kind
I congratulate you
Badass on extreme levels….
Someone needs to make a gif of Akainu just taking that punch. The part where he goes from blue to red and his body starts to shift. That was kickass.
Meh. How lame. The next episode is all about the great man himself. It shoulda retained its manga title.
! I'd imagine they changed it because they don't want to foreshadow his death. Agree with it or not, that's probably the reasoning for it.
