            Man, the animation took a serious nosedive in this episode. At least the pacing was well maintained aside from that lol-random scene with Luffy on the suspension bridge, though the cliffhanger was abrupt. The scene when the minks fight back was great, even if it was heavily extended from the chapter.

            It is weird to think that this episode is just two halves of different chapters.

            Next week's episode looks like it'll be good from the preview, so I'm looking forward.

            I give it a solid 3 out of five.

              Pacing was terrible as far as I'm concerned.
              Animation was even worse.

              The constant back and forth between flashback and present events that worked so well in the manga was taken to an absurd level in this episode. Suspension bridge filler was utter shit, yeah, lets throw in some random fun at the bridge while Wanda tries not to cry while telling a dramatic story of her country. What a load of bullshit. Not only is the pacing slow as hell, they can't even come up with some good filler. Zou arc have been awesome so far but this episode honestly terrible.

              I wish we were back to 1 chap/ep pacing instead of doing this 0.7 ch/ep…

                Yet another great episode but it did have some pacing issues when the Minks started fighting back. The animation was still great though and they're probably just waiting to give the really good looking shots to the more important episodes.

                  Loved this episode. It did have a few issues but man I gotta believe this was one of the most outstanding Ueda-Takagi episodes so no complaints here.

                    People on reddot hating hard on this episode for some reason but I liked it a good deal.

                    Implied filler done well, what they stretched felt natural. The fights being extended was expected but they had some diverse and thus kind of interesting choreography. The beginning portrayl was well done IMO with showing the city when it was normal. The background art for the island is really vibrant color wise and Im loving it here, its been since fishman island or maybe even sabaody that ive loved the baclgrounds this much

                    Id give a 8/10

                      This episode was passable, but it suffers from mostly poor animation and not covering a full chapter.

                      The bridge part was completely unnecessary.

                        shitty cliffhanger, still shots and weak art and animation. liked the in-cannon filler though.

                          Art & animation was a bit on the mediocre side here, though the minks and Jack's crew still looked pretty good.

                          Loved that white-faced squinting guy in Law's crew, among others including someone who looks a lot like Paula (aka Miss Doublefinger). For all we know that is Paula.

                          That's what happens when Oda gives a single panel where most of the extra crewmates' faces are vaguely rendered doodles for Toei to work with.

                          Also found that filler bit where Luffy randomly decides to risk the lives of the crew on the drawbridge a bit too stupid, even for Luffy. Though it might be worth it just to see that scowl on Robin's face when everyone yells at him.

                          The Jacks stuff is good though.

                                And for all "What… ok" it only lasted 26 seconds but some people are like that ruins the episode for me, and I am like why did that one thing make the whole thing so bad. If you didnt like the episode on the whole fine, it wasnt as good as the last 3 were the animation and art was great but this still to me seemed above average, if only slightly so, not much happened, but it didnt feel like they were dragging to me, I wasnt looking at my phone or something, because they were holding too long on a certain thing. The extending seemed acceptable.

                                  pacing felt fine IMO

                                  lots of static shots, but the music choice was good

                                    Luffy's ADHD moments were the only parts I didn't enjoy. Felt just a bit pointless. I did like everything else despite some shoddy animation here are there.

                                      I will agree that the bridge filler felt excessive. Usually I'm all for Luffy silliness, but that particular scene didn't really entertain me.

                                        A pretty good episode. The bridge filler did feel weird, but it was rather short, definitely not enough to ruin the episode.

                                        Does anyone know who voices Bariete? He sounds HILARIOUS.

                                        I keep thinking about how meta Sheepshead and Ginrummy's discussion can be in terms of translation arguments in the western community. Sheepshead: "It's not Hundred Beasts Pirates idiot, it's Beasts Pirates!" Ginrummy: "It means the same thing! Why are we discussing this?"

                                          For some reason I'm amused at that clip of the crew beating up Luffy. Particularly because Brook ends up striking the first blow with a rare display of karate. Also while Usopp, Nami and Brook wail on him, Franky just stands there right alongside him doing nothing.
