        After a week and a half of no One Piece anything, this better be good.

            I honestly almost slapped myself because I felt the slightest hint of disappointment when your avatar WASN'T animated.
            WHY MIND WHY.

            But yes.

                There are a few screenshots around the internet with Caesar,

                ! Vergo and Doflamingo colored… maybe, JUST MAYBE, New opening?

                  I doubt they're from an opening, myself. The one of

                  ! Vergo definitely isn't.

                    Toei knows that they can't f that one. Otherwise, they are likely gonna lose a big portion of the anime watchers in Japan (the fangirls and teenage boys that is).

                    ! This was undeniabely the coolest fight among the terrible ones of this arc (not very good from the series standards)

                      Fairly excited for this one, especially with the breaks that the anime has had lately.

                          ! I kinda wish Luffy was the first character that actually defeats Smoker for the first time (payback cause the VA has always to outmacth Luffy) and having Luffy discussing with Smoker when they party. However, Law pretty much ruined all these potential awesome moments and as well as this arc.

                            Honestly, it wasn't that bad, especially looking at in what kind of situations Smoker ends up in, you're really exaggerating.
                            Looking forward how they'll handle it.

                            ! I feel like Smoker constantly being "owned" isn't really that bad because most of the time it isn't because he's weak, it's because he's handicapped. None of the losses in this arc were legit except this one.

                                    ! Eh, sorry, I pretty much disagree. I don't think Law defeating Smoker is necessarily a bad thing, nor do I think he in any way ruins Punk Hazard. Law is Luffy's contemporary, so the net effect is still the same - Smoker is no longer inherently stronger than Luffy, in my mind. To be honest, I think Oda's saving the Luffy and Smoker match for further down the line when the stakes are presumably higher. Law defeating Smoker gives us Tashigi-Smoker and Smoker-Tashigi, which are hilarious, so I'm very okay with it.

                                              There are a few screenshots around the internet with Caesar,

                                              ! Vergo and Doflamingo colored… maybe, JUST MAYBE, New opening?

                                                I think you guys should just start expecting them to use We Go until someone from Toei says it's being replaced… or until, y'know, they air a different one.

                                                  Old Opening YEAH!!!!

                                                  You people are getting really annoying with this.Your expectations for a new opening are way too high.There isn't going to be one until proven otherwise.You're only disappointing yourself.

                                                    Are people really still expecting a random opening? There wasn't an announcement, so go into each episode assuming it'll be We Go!, and you won't have your hopes crushed as We Go plays.

                                                      I pretty much don't expect a new opening. Only thing that kind of made me wonder is those pics that have been going around.

The action was really good, and there were no long drawn out filler scenes of people doing nothing. Instead, they actualy seem to have extended the fight a bit, which works really well in this case (as opposed to Zoro or Luffy's fights with Hody)

                                                                                    Pacing was great. There were plenty of fillers and stretched out bits, but they were done perfectly well and it blended together with the canon seamlessly. Aside from a few wonky shots, the Smoker vs. Law fight was great. Animation was the smoothest I remember since some of the Luffy/Hody stuff. They even made Smoker slightly more threatening than I remember him to be in the manga. Good for him and his fanboys.

                                                                                    Brava, Toei. A great comeback after the break. Take five.

I mean it was well animated and the choreography was fantastic in my opinion. Although I totally expect the next episode to suck even worse than normal as compensation

I'm probably suffering from lowered expectations, but this episode was pretty darn good. The Law versus Smoker stuff was definitely well done and watching it be extended didn't make me want to shoot myself in the foot.

                                                                                                    Really hoping the way this fight was handled will carry over for the rest of the big fights and action sequences this arc. Although its more likely that this will be the odd one out and the rest will be decent to bad, especially since Law vs Smoker was two very hyped up characters fighting.

                                                                                                    ! Even Luffy vs Caesar probably won't be given this type of attention, much less stuff like Smoker vs Vergo (or Sanji's brief encounter with him for that matter)
