One Piece Episode 756 Preview
I'm 100% sure they did this shot on purpose:
So I loved Usopp trying to puppet Zoro and getting the name of his attack wrong. I had forgotten that happened.
Yet another great episode on all fronts! Next week looks great as well.
I'm loving these episodes, the quality has been excellent. Did they get a bigger budget or something?

Also they added the touch with usopp mispronouncing zoro's attack lol
This was another great episode, I know we only covered one chapter but it felt like we covered more with how good the pacing felt
Excellent use of filler also

Nothing has changed. We have the same directors & animators using their same animation styles. Every time there's a nice episode everyone acts like their memories have been erased or something lol. Ito, Takara, & Isoichi always produce quality episodes. Kawamura sometimes does as well & this just so happens to be one of them. Animators like Shida & Tomita regularly work on the series & always come through. I think the only difference is that these guys are finally being used back to back which makes it seem like the quality has increased. Yes the filler arc looked mediocre, but Zou was the main priority so there was no reason to bother making it look good at Zou's expense.
Oh my! A surprise Shida cut. That was really good. It reminded me of the cut he did in Sabaody with Luffy on the flying fish.
Also, I've been waiting to see this animated. Carrot 
I am really loving the quality Toei is putting in lately! This apparent new standard for higher quality episodes has been refreshing! Combined with the new opening, eye catchers, it feels like a completely different series than it was just 10 episodes ago!
One of the many things One Piece anime has always been lacking is inspiration, but Zou in these last 3 episodes have been the most inspired One Piece has ever been! I noticed the changing artstyles within the same episodes in the Zou arc, while some may say that's bad, I say it's a good thing! Being inconsistent allows these animators to have artistic freedoms, which allows them to better describe an aesthetic. Almost every scene has been displaying some unique aesthetic that really makes every scene "pop". Whether it's fluid frames to describe action scene, animated character movements to achieve comedy, beautiful skies and backgrounds, detailed faces to describe emotional expression, every scene has something beautiful about it! It really appears that the animators worked on these scenes not because their employers told them to, but because they genuinely cared about it!
These last 3 inconsistent episodes have been beautiful works by Toei!
The first few minutes of the episode, especially when Luffy got caught in the rainruption, was excellent. Nice Luffy faces throughout.
The flood scene was out of this world.
Did Shida do the flood scene?
Did Shida do the flood scene?
Yup, that he did. Does anyone know if Shida does the in-betweens for his animation along with key animation?
I like how sleek the shark looks like his from a western cartoon.
I find it random to use Shida in that scene lol
Good episode. Hoping the battle against Big Mom Pirates next week is action-packed.
I totally don't recall Luffy nearly drowning. Or Ussop using Zoro as a puppet. But man this was a really good episode. It's nice seeing particular staff being used frequently.
Toei seems to be actually giving a damn lately, it's not normal for anime episodes to genuinely decent one after another.
I'm impressed.
Working process.
I was a little surprised to see how good this episode generally looked outside of a few quick wonky shots given that Deguchi was at the very top of the animator list. My little pre-episode blurb should've referenced the character tournament, since I can see a number of the (anime exclusive) Carrot-related footage making its way into campaigns for the championship match.

Man, I love that entire sequence.
A good episode always makes me want to repeat after Luffy when he shout, "Kaizoku ou ni, ore wa naru!"
And this episode made me do that.

The quality now is a lot better than episodes of Dressrosa, I hope that they keep this quality in Zou's and Totto Land's arc. The flashback where Jacks appear for first time will be amazing.
Well 756 looks like it may break the trend of the quality bump going by the preview. But then again 755 looked a lot better than its preview suggested so we'll see.
Man, and now we enter a seven to eight week flashback.
It's funny how the animation always improves at the beginning of the arc to show off the new location, then slowly turns to shit over the course of the arc, only to ramp back up for the final fight. Dressrosa was bad because the middle was so long and they only ever ramped it up in the middle for flashbacks and brief scenes.
Dressrosa had a ton of episode with great animation and much better direction then what's been shown so far in Zou, it's just that One piece fan has super short term memory they can only remember 1 episode ago at most.

all being good is better than 20 in 100 good eps

Maybe the awful (but short) filler arc we just got before Zou makes people think the anime was in a long string of terrible episodes, which is not accurate.
Anyway, three such nicely done episodes in a row really is a great feat for a long running series.
We might have to post Murad's Dressrosa sakuga video in the first post of every new episode thread.

Dressrosa was a lot more hot and cold, most people seem to prefer even animation and art quality even if all together it is lower. There were times in the anime were they would go from great to just wtf…
Like rebecca with the kick ass jump to cut down her aunt and then that horrible frame
Dressrosa was a great arc with some amazing moments but there were some repeated and unnecesary flashbacks.
Hey guys.. is it real that episode 757 has been delayed due to Kochikame special episode? I read it in a post on google plus, but couldn't find any source that confirm it :getlost:
Edit: Well, okay I found one..
Wait… there will be an special episode of Kochikame? I thought it was finished.

The manga is over. There's still a 40th anniversary special that's airing on Fuji TV on September 18th.

Delays for the anime are always good. It gives the staff more time to make episodes actually look presentable, or breathing room to be creative with filler, and a chance to be a chapter behind Oda.

Yeah it's good in many ways. Well since I'm actually reading the manga it won't be that bad for me.. but Dragon Ball Super is different case :sad:
