Place your bets!
Gonna have to say…. The New Fishman Pirates.
All jokes aside, I wonder if it's going to get better from here on out, what with the Nami special being finished and all, but I won't hold my breathe.

Hopefully this one will be better than last week's. I can't rage that bad on a weekly basis; I'm too young for it.
-
Short Recap! Great.

I've heard the song in that 7-11 commercial before…In English.

Pretty good episode. Covered the whole chapter.
Here's next week's preview.
Looks like it's covering more than one chapter? Maybe.
-
Eh. It was better than last week, at least. Still plenty of wonky faces and weird shots, but the animation was much much much better. And the pacing was actually manageable. First half, anyway.
Second half was a lot more grueling – though I blame the manga content for this. Or lack thereof. I have to say I really enjoy what they did with Decken's end. The manga had him slip and fall in the most anti-climactic way imaginable. At least the anime gave him a reason to. A rare nice touch that was even better than Oda's.
_Not_ looking forward to next week's at all.
-
It actually felt kind of tense at the end there, maybe it's the Giant Thor Axe music? Nami's attack was very well done and it's just reminds me that it's too bad that she didn't get a fight, cause the climatact's powers are pretty interesting and could make for a really good fight. Chopper's and Ussop's attacks looked nice, too and it didn't feel so slow. I thought it was a pretty good episode overall.

Two things:
First, why does it sound like he's talking through a high school intercom?
Second, IT'S HERE, THE DREAD CHAPTER, HIDE YOUR WIFE, HIDE YOUR KIDS
Hang in there, Kierkegaard.

I forget, what happens in this chapter? Is this the big "revelation" on why Hody is a bastard?

Oui oui, mon capitan. Whole episode will be a build up to HODY'S AWESOME REVELATION!

not a bad episode loved chopper and usopps bit
-
Is there a new soundtrack when Chopper hits Dosun?
-
That was kind of funny. I love how the other SH get their face-off panels, but Nami literally gets paired off with nameless fodder. Robin's was also missing, but that cause her "fight" shows up later on.
Also, Decken knocking himself over was kind of funny, though I do prefer the manga version where he's just clumsy and falls over by himself.
All in all, not a bad episode, though the 2nd half was stretched like usual. The fights are (almost) lined up, and we're going to get our big reveal soon.
-
-
Man, I will never understand the hate for this arc. Collected all together it's still fairly good.
Decent episode with some funny bits.
-
Leagues, leagues better than last week.
I laughed at Franky's mecha making people fly through the air with each step.
Heh, quite funny how they built up that climax with the Gigant Thor Axe-lite scene (music included!) only for it to come to an anticlimax with Decken bumping his head. Funnier than him simply passing out in a side panel.Ishizuka should do every Sanji action sequence ever - between the Jyabura fight and the ''confrontation'' with Wadatsumi in the beginning, the man really knows how to do them justice.
-
Very good episode!
SYMPATHY!!! lol Brook killed me.
Super Sole Headbutt! Yes, the anime did it justice.
Sanji's kick at Wadatsumi, Usopp and Chopper's combo attack, Nami's Thunder Rod, and IKARUS AND ZEO, THE COMEDY DUO.
And then there was the Strong World music during the second half. The pacing and tension were really well done this episode.Let's just hope next week's episode is just as good. Please.
-
sweet! much easier to watch than last weeks train wreck.
-
All in all I found the chapter to be one of the most enjoyables from this arc so far, the second part was a bit slow, the built up at the end of the chapter was cool though, also I didn't know that Decken had hit his head originally because of his clumsiness. That aside, after this chapter I had set my expectations high but after reading the comments above, it looks like next week's episode will be not as good as this one. :s

THIS, a thousand times.

Wow they actually kinda covered Madam Shirley's boobs.That's weird
-
Better than last week's episode for sure. I enjoyed most of it, even if the second half dragged a bit. Was the piece that played during the Straw Hats fighting a new track?
-
Hey now, that was a good episode. The animation an in-betweening was miles better than last week's episode, not to mention the direction was clearly superior this time around. Somewhat routine stuff like Nami electrocuting a bunch of fishdudes looked high quality (the walking "skeletons" got quite a laugh). Pretty much all of the humor worked for me in this one. And the digging scenes actually look like digging this time! Even the still shots looked good accompanied by a well-chosen music track.
I could complain about the 1-chapter content, but it was paced rather well and seemed to have been well padded with bits of additional content that helped with the flow. The big climactic build-up to Decken stupidly knocking himself out worked even better in this episode. Not to mention it boosts Decken's character a bit showing him actually try and kill Hody with one last throw.
A few odd spots like the prolonged moment of Luffy holding back Hody (You'd think he'd bite him after a while), but they hardly affected my overall enjoyment of this one.
-
Wow I really liked the sanji scene when he uses sky walk and kicks wadatsumi, that was my favorite one of the best episodes sincethe fights started in my opinion
-
The episode was better than last week's animation-wise – that much is sure. Entirely speaking it was an alright episode since it had both good and bad moments. The good ones being nice animation shots here and there and definitely the use of the Strong World OST (the timing for that one was a little inappropriate IMO but fine nevertheless) whereas the bad parts were the same as always; namely being dragged out scenes and derpy faces/moves.

@Miss:

! That revelation doesn't happen until 643 though..
-
Is this the first time strong world music has been used outside the movie?
-
Sorry, this was the episode where Nami cried out for help and needed to be saved. Outside of Ussop of course.
Yeah, pretty much as annoying as it was in the original.
-

To be fair, it was one line/bubble and partially in a comedic situation thanks to Brook. It'd be more annoyed if they'd stretch it out/emphasize it, like usually with stuff like this, but it was nice and quick and not much attention was drawn on it, even in the manga.
Well, re-watched this. Honestly, one of the better episodes recently, the moment between Chopper and Ussop was nice, with the experience thing.
-
Wasn't bothered too much by this episode. In the first half, I was annoyed by the way the action plays out. The enemies just stand around and do nothing. That's not really anime-specific, actually. Some of the Straw Hats coulda been easily taken down if they had actually tried. Second half of the episode, just more molasses pacing. Especially annoying was the random shot of the character cut outs popping up over the island, which is the animation team letting us know that they don't know how to fill time anymore. Decken was amusing in the end though, and the Chopper and Usopp bit was done fairly well.
-
Was I the only one who got goosebumps from this episode?
I mean… that animation
the goosebumps kicked in around the last five minutes though with the new music and my god...
I just...

Robin's was also missing, but that cause her "fight" shows up later on.
Yeah if you can even call that a fight, which it wasn't. lol
-

It was a fight, just like all the others.
! She used her techniques to avoid the opponent and attacked him. The only difference is that it was all in one go instead of cutting away to the others and didn't have a double-page at the end. Don't see how that is that much different from Ussop running away and setting up his plan and then taking Daruma out in one go. Honestly, the only confrotations that resembled an actual proper fight were Brook vs. Zeo and Hody vs. Luffy. Still annoyed about that, but hey, first arc after the timeskip so it's kind of justified, I guess.
-
Gotta agree with everything Zachri said. That new music selection worked wonders; episode felt really fresh.
Very good all-around episode. All aspects complemented each other.
To Hallwacker - No the Strong World music has been used many times, they just elected to use mostly the same tracks for a long time.
-
I still can't get over the minmal background characters, 50k men and theres 5 getting taken out at a time -_-
-

Strong World music has been featured in the series since Marineford.

I absolutely liked this episode that I ended up watching it again with my little brother. Usually, I'd watch it first before telling him there's a new episode out but this week's episode was really good I had to watch it again with him.
I don't know if I'm just lenient today but I couldn't nitpick bad parts in this episode. Just totally enjoyed and loved it.
Brook's SYMPATHY! was the definite highlight for me - that was priceless.
-
Not bad episode at all. Maybe the faces were a bit fast made. Overall good one, even if i believe that in the manga the "vs" are shown more in a cool way.
Hoping for good action now ! :happy:

This was the best episode in a while. Brook's "Sympathy!" was hilarious.
I kind of feel sorry for Wadatsumi. I don't think he himself did anything to deserve the beating Sanji and Jinbe are giving (and will continue to give) him.
-
Oh god.
Not even done with the episode, but Sanji looks freaking terrible. -

That on the other hand looks sweet.

@No:

Well, it was a two on one sneak attack. I can't imagine how she would have gotten away or gotten the upper hand without detecting Zeo.
And it was a good set-up for a great Brook moment (and Zeo moment).
-
That on the other hand looks sweet.
Daayyuum.
Not gonna lie. Sanji looks like a straight-up badass in this shot. -
They sure placed Nami in an interesting position on Zeo.
Maybe they're trying to give the nudge to doujin writers to get some invisible porn going, innovate the genre.

It was kinda the same way in the manga.

Well yeah, but it was the sort of situation where crying out for help was warranted. Its not like it was "OH MY GOD A BAD GUY COME SAVE ME"–she was caught off guard by a clever combo attack that should have worked, and it was a setup to a good joke.
