Out of all the main arcs, which one was your favorite and why. Also discuss the upcomming arc, Merman Island
My favorite is without a doubt the Water 7/Enies Lobby arc. It's a turning point in the story; although they're still on the first half of the Grand Line it has that "New World" spirit to it rather than the relatively humble feeling the East Blue, Baroque Works, and Skypiea sagas gave off. The Straw Hats really move up in the world and become, as Kokoro says, figures the entire world will know (something Skypiea obviously didn't contribute to at all since they were on the White Sea and not the Blue Sea). It's also the darkest and most emotional One Piece has been up to this point; the internal strife amongst the Straw Hats in episode 235 made it one of the best episodes I've ever seen in a series.
My least favorite would be Skypiea. I enjoyed it quite a bit, it just… wasn't what I expected. I loved the cloud land motif, so I was expecting something more akin to Anuenue from Baten Kaitos. Multiple cloud kingdoms and just more room in general. The first five or six episodes - that is, everything before they all went to Upper Yard - was just fine, but the rest was like Vietnam One Piece style.
my favorite is definitely W7/Enies Lobby, for pretty much the same reasons Dr. Casey stated.
Skypeia could have been so great, it was an awesome concept and very imaginative. It's not my least favorite arc, but i feel like there was so much more that could have been done before HOMG LETS FIGHTING TIEM when they went into upper yard :\
I wasn't a huge fan of Reverse Mountain, i can't really explain why. I don't hate it, as i think Crocus is awesome, but it's definitely my least favorite of the arcs.
My favourite arc would have to be Arlong arc. We got to see the incredible Nami's past, the hilorious Zoro's friends (cant remember their names). We also got to see Ussop winning a match and i broke down in tears of laughter when he beat the shit out of the merman with his little hammer. We also got to see the "serious Luffy" fighting a all pumped up Arlong.
I think Loguetown is the badest arc at this point. Reasons why i dont like this arc was just because of the unserious scenes where the SH were just running away from the Marines and Buggy and Alvidas desperate attempt to get revenge. The only god thing in this arc, imo, was the precense of Dragon,
Best for me, in no particular order, Arlong, Alabasta and water 7. Suckiest were probably the first two, and I wasn't too thrilled with the Davy Back Fight either.
Since I can't really nitpick with the format I'm using below, I have to go mostly by personal enjoyment/remembrance, instead of stuff like omg kuro arc has bad drawing lol
Arc name – star rating out of five -- how much the arc dragged -- details
Captain Morgan Arc **** didn't drag (several cool scenes)
Buggy Arc *** small amount of drag (nothing really jumps out at me)
Captain Kuro Arc ***** tiny bit of drag (bad guy scheme + Luffy/Kuro fight/conversation ftw)
Baratie Arc **** a decent amount of drag (Sanji's past is quite nice plus OMGMIHAWK)
Arlong Arc ***** only really drags in the fights in the fact that Luffy stays down so long (nice pacing...I can imagine Oda being like MUST GET TO STAB SCENE while drawing all the insane buildup to it)
Loguetown Arc ***** minor filler annoyance, nothing else (only the most important arc ever)
Reverse Mountain **** no drag (like Buggy arc except bonus points to how important the arc is)
Whiskey Peak Arc ***** no drag (revealing of plot+zoro stuffs = yay)
Little Garden Arc *** fight drag! (several important scenes, but overall not as good as others)
Drum Island Arc ***** no comment
Alabasta Arc **** which part? This thing is huge. A mix between 5 and 4 stars.
Jaya ***** NO drag (extremely good pacing, and almost every episode is power-inducing) It's kinda' like the Arlong Arc except instead of sadness overwhelming it's power overwhelming [hurr starcraft pun]
Skypiea ** uhh yeah. Good start. I guess it deserves a couple extra star shards for being so crisp, only because of K-F's new quality :O
Davy Back Fight **** doesn't really drag (overall it's just fun stuff, plus it jumps into the awesomeness that is widescreen One Piece)
Water 7 ***** similar pacing as Jaya, and similar awesomeness. I've watched it like 4 times now…more like 3.
Enies Lobby *** LOL ANIME
Overall rating: ****
Overall rating of One Piece concept: *****************
I think if Skypiea was more awesome, as in more city involved or some crap, then Water 7 would seem like rehash. Or at least it would knock my star rating down like 1/2 of a star...
The first five or six episodes - that is, everything before they all went to Upper Yard - was just fine, but the rest was like Vietnam One Piece style.
Hahaha! It was kinda like Vietnam :p .
The Enies Lobby arc is theonly one I've read twice, so I'll give that a go as the best one so far. I can best describe it as pure brilliance in black and white and all the shades in between grins
The enies lobby arc was awesome, although its not done yet in the anime, its just finishing up in the manga…
Potential small spoiler ahead!
It is definately the most emotional arc, and it elevates the strawhats to being famous pirates with huge bounties.
Arlong Park, hands down. That's when I really started to adore this anime. In my opinion, it was done even better than in the manga. I only watched a bit of Enies Lobby, but just for butchering Robin's flashback [MOST HORRIBLE THING I'VE EVER WATCHED. EVER. RTIOYHKFGH DEATH TOEI DEATH– now back on topic], even if I ever watched it in its entirety and it turned out to be good, I wouldn't like it as much as Arlong.
It still has to be Alabasta for me. The buildup was excellent, it rarely dragged, we got some familiar faces in there, and all of the fights were amazing. It just built up so perfectly to the climactic Luffy/Crocodile battle that turned out to be quite possibly One Piece's most famous scene.
1. Captain Morgan Arc - 8/10. It shows the origins of Luffy and Zoro quite well, and effectively establishes Luffy's personality. Morgan may not have been the best villain, but he was a good start.
2. Buggy Arc - 6/10. Nothing really special, other than Buggy's antics and Nami's debut. Too few characters, and the Shanks connection seems out of place.
3. Captain Kuro Arc - 7/10. Slightly better than Buggy, although the pace is off. Fortunately, the annoying Veggie Pirates are compensated for by giving all the main characters fairly equal footing (in terms of screen-time).
4. Baratie Arc - 9/10. An unforgettable cast of characters, especially Gin, Krieg, and Zeff. Climactic battles combined with deep emotions. An ideological clash between Luffy's and Don Krieg's respective versions of "strength."
5. Arlong Arc - 10/10. Touching moments such as Nami's acceptance of Luffy's help, her reasons for doing everything, and so on. The first arc with "a fight for everybody," so to speak. Arlong, who radiates fanboy radiation. Sadly, though, Johnny and Yosaku never did anything.
6. Loguetown Arc - 8/10. Far too short, but a heaping helping of foreshadowing, character introduction, and plot development makes up for it. Dragon has become perhaps the most debated character in the One Piece universe. Buggy's triumphant return succeeds where so many "villain comebacks" have failed, and Alvida's connection is a surprising twist.
7. Reverse Mountain - 3/10. Nothing memorable here. Luffy's promise to Laboon is the only event keeping this arc from a flat zero.
8. Whiskey Peak Arc - 10/10. Surprised? I am, especially considering half the characters didn't do anything. This arc isn't much for plot at first, but Zoro keeps things interesting. The arrival of the #5 pair, the revelation of "Miss Wednesday's" true nature, and Luffy's fight with Zoro keep Whiskey Peak from being just another pitstop.
9. Little Garden Arc - 6/10. With all its long-winded rhetoric about honourable battle, this arc falls flat on its face. The villains are either recycled or outright uninteresting, and the message is unclear. One thing's for sure, though: Sanji, Luffy, Carue and Usopp manage to shine through the murk.
10. Drum Island Arc - 5/10. Giving such a low rating may get me labeled as an infidel, but hear me out. The supporting characters' backgrounds were lackluster and uninspired. Wapol was completely underdone, and Usopp and Vivi didn't do a damn thing! One gets the feeling that Oda spent more time on Chopper's backstory than he did on the arc itself.
11. Alabasta Arc - 9.5/10. Luffy's brother revealed! Smoker reappears! Zoro cuts steel! Every character gets a fight! The Clima Tact unveiled! A plan for every contingency! War! Strife! Conflict! Egyptian overtones! Poneglyph! Pluton! The most breathtaking conclusion since Arlong Park! Crocodile, Nico Robin, Bon Clay, Smoker, Pell, and the Straw Hats are the grand balloons struggling valiantly to lift this otherwise stellar story arc above the rest; Vivi and Kohza are the clumsy, leaden anchors weighing it down.
12. Jaya - 6.5/10. One word: ANTICLIMACTIC.
13. Skypiea - 8/10. The bizarre new world of the sky and its fantastic trappings (dials, wannabe gods, flying ships) are incredible. Unfortunately, an overly complex storyline bogs it all down into an incomprehensible mess. Eneru easily attains "Big Baddie" status right alongside Crocodile, but this arc still tastes like filler.
14. Davy Back Fight - 10/10. Am I the only member of this forum who doesn't despise the Davy Back Fight? A pirate competition with some laid-back fun quickly escalates into a struggle for nakama. Whiz-bang fun! {<–cheesiest phrase ever} The race is a showcase of skills, Groggy Ring is like football... with death, and Foxy manages to strike the perfect balance between comical and evil (he also possesses one of the most unusua abilities--it's right up there with the Doa Doa no Mi). Just when you think it's all over: BOOM! Admiral Aokiji, bitch! As Aldrich would surely say. ZOMG FORESHADOWING!!!1
15. Water 7 - 10/10. An emotional roller coaster that would surely receive two thumbs way, way up from Ebert & Roeper if they paid any attention whatsoever to One Piece. Franky epitomizes the term "character"… and if you don't like Kokoro, then you deserve a mermaid kick to the schnutz. The Galley-La Foremen and the Puffing Tom serve as more than just eye candy, too. The death of a ship. Two crewmembers lost almost simultaneously (three if you include the Going Merry). The unveiling of CP9 shocks and astounds–so much so that I won't spoil it even here. Mix the above ingredients into a huge, delicious cake, throw a Sea Train Battle Game on top, and dig in.
16. Enies Lobby - 10/10. Maybe some will dispute this rating, but we can all agree that EL is a major turning point for the Straw Hat Pirate Crew. Each character went through a Final Fantasy-style "limit break"–new techniques and abilities displayed when they are most needed. Gears, Ashura, Diablo Wind, Kabuto, "Monster Point," Perfect Clima Tact... the list goes on and on. Perhaps there are a few too many rampages and near-death escapes, and maybe the whole shebang does seem to congeal into an interminable slugfest, and perhaps Rob Lucci's fight with Luffy and the Buster Call scream "FANBOY!!" But Enies Lobby retains a parade of colourful characters and show-stopping action sequences. Taken together with Water 7, it represents the Straw Hats' darkest hour, and their greatest triumph. For those seeking more than mere battling, I point out the recuperation period in Water 7. With the arrival of a single Marine, Oda slaps us with a whopping four startling revelations concerning Luffy's relationships, not to mention an eighth crewmember, bounties all 'round, and a magnificent new ship. Is there a downside, you wonder? Just ask the Usopp fanboys.
I don't have much to say about the new arc, which will apparently take place in the mysterious "Florian Triangle" that stands between Water 7 and Fishman Island. One can only assume that the Straw Hats will uncover/defeat whatever is causing those ships to disappear. I eagerly anticipate Franky's interactions with the rest of his newfound nakama.
I like Alabasta & Enies Lobby arcs.
I probably like the alabasta arc becauase thats the arc I started on when I first got in the series. Har har utopia.
Enies Lobby is just… its gold really. Its really emotional to, more than some of the others, except maybe Arlong park.
to the big post above.
I love the Davy Back fights. I haven't watched the filler though.
I can agree with lots of things you said (though not everyone has to do many things in each arc, though the ones you gave 10s all had quite a bit of everyone-involvement which is always nice), and can respect your liking of Skypiea, but I have no idea why Jaya is anticlimactic. It's not even supposed to be an arc in itself. It's really part of Skypiea. Beating Bellamy and being shot into the sky are two of the best scenes in the anime for me. I mainly just really like the aspect of Bellamy wanting to get rid of dreams, etc.
Another thing I'd like to say is I thought, while everyone did something, the crew was split up for so long in Skypiea that it completely got rid of so much funny main-character interaction that could have been had. Plus I think Skypiea doesn't really bring much fresh to the table. There's like no action at all due to these facts: it really…really...drags, and the animation is quite downhill throughout the whole thing. When I think of other arcs, I don't notice these downfalls at all, even if they are there, since everything else is so interesting
My favorite arcs I'll say, because I'm not sure if I can rank them.
Arlong Park - for a few reasons. Nami stabbing herself in the shoulder. It was like WHOA! Now that's emotion in story telling. That's what it's all about. My jaw dropped to the floor. I had no idea that she was holding in so much pain. It was possibly the most beautiful part of the story to me. Not to mention when Luffy yells at the sky DAMN RIGHT!! (depending on the translation) and then the idiot gets himself tossed into the sea lol.
Whiskey Peak - Zorro. It's all about Mr. Bushido, and how much ass he kicks. It was straight samurai/western as well scripted as I've seen in many motion pictures.
Enies Lobby - The fights are so effing funny. They crack me up so badly. They're so serious about their intent, but then all of this stuff happens that actually makes me laugh out loud. That's rare for a lot of anime. Side splitting stuff. This is of course once they're trying to get the keys.
Alabasta - There was a lot I liked about alabasta, like the introoduction of Ace, Vivi the hottie, and hilarious Carue. The way Luffy tries to fight Crocodile the first time. He tries to eat him lol. But it draged in some places.
As well as others, for me it's gotta be the emotional impact. :)
So my top 3 would have to be
-Enies Lobby
-Arlong Park
-Alabasta
They're long, but also the best.
@IT'S:
2. Buggy Arc - 6/10. Nothing really special, other than Buggy's antics and Nami's debut. Too few characters, and the Shanks connection seems out of place.
I've always thought so, too.
@Dr.:
My favorite is without a doubt the Water 7/Enies Lobby arc. It's a turning point in the story; although they're still on the first half of the Grand Line it has that "New World" spirit to it rather than the relatively humble feeling the East Blue, Baroque Works, and Skypiea sagas gave off. The Straw Hats really move up in the world and become, as Kokoro says, figures the entire world will know (something Skypiea obviously didn't contribute to at all since they were on the White Sea and not the Blue Sea). It's also the darkest and most emotional One Piece has been up to this point; the internal strife amongst the Straw Hats in episode 235 made it one of the best episodes I've ever seen in a series.
Amen to that!!!! Hell yeah.
Water 7/Enies Lobby arc is definetely my favorite as well as most watched! Davy Back Fight takes afterwards. Loved how the games were set up, all those flaws made my stomach hurt from laughing.
@Dr.:
My least favorite would be Skypiea. I enjoyed it quite a bit, it just… wasn't what I expected. I loved the cloud land motif, so I was expecting something more akin to Anuenue from Baten Kaitos. Multiple cloud kingdoms and just more room in general. The first five or six episodes - that is, everything before they all went to Upper Yard - was just fine, but the rest was like Vietnam One Piece style.
I didn't like that one all too well. But in my opinion, it beats Arabasta by a mile.
Arabasta was cool, but the excessive airing by 4Craps (oh how I hated it) and how extremely long and dramatic it was ranked it on my list to the least favorites. The only thing I seemed to enjoy were the final battles, to include Mr. Prince. Then again, Arabasta was WAY better then the arcs played before the Usopp arc.
Enies Lobby = fav.
Leaving it at that.
Yeah, Enies Lobby / W7 pretty much blew the prior grandline arcs out of the water, especially Skyepia, it got blown so far out the water it ended up in clouds… you saw it coming.
Skypeia was necessary for the poneglyph, and for them to get things like dials, and it kind of took the WG eyes off them for awhile. But the whole Luffy needing to fight Enel thing, I mean Luffy didn't really need to fight Enel, he just kind of did it to be a nice guy, because he had to, so the main point to the arc was damn near pointless.
Enies Lobby was cool because it had alot going on what with usoop being sogeking, them trying to get Robin back and picking up a new crew member in the process, it's gonna be hard to top that.
Not to sound like a sheep here but
Ennies Lobby arc BAAAAA-AAA-AAAA
like was said before it's a major turning point in the series, kind of a half-way mark I think. Also has the coolest fights since Alabasta
I've always loved the arlong arc. Interestingly enough I even enjoyed the dub of that arc (yes I have seen the Japanese too and know how much they cut) there's somthing about the entire arc which I just think works well, and I felt the end of the arc gave a good sense of closure (Also that thing with the pinwheel in the end? so sweet and sad!) On top of which I always found arlong the most frightening of the villians I've seen thus far.
I also liked the alabaster arc, because I just really really love Vivi. I have no idea why :o
My favorite would have to be the Drum Island arc. I don't know why, but it had some of the funniest scenes moments in it. But also, even though Chopper is not my favorite One Piece character, he has my personal favorite backstory. I don't know why, but I find it more depressing then either Robin or Nami's past. Probably because both Robin and Nami had people who cared for them, while Chopper only had Hiruluk and Kureha, and Hiruluk dies.
The battle against Wapol kinda failed though. But it was kinda nice that the story wrapped up quicker because of it.
My favorite was Arabasta followed by Water7/EL. Arabasta was just the TOTAL PACKAGE. Good drama, awesome fights, and the best OP vilian ever. I don't think Oda can ever top the awesomeness that is Crocodile. It was a completely enjoyable arc with a satisfying (key word) ending.
While EL was technically the superior arc, it was just an Arlong Arc Redux with boring fights and it was far too long. Still it had the best storyline of all the arcs so far. The revelations at the end really factors heavily in my decision to put it second.
Overall, I put Arabasta over it because it did just about everything right, where EL faltered. Still, they are both very good arcs, but Arabasta wins it.

Water 7. 'Nuff said.
Enies Lobby is the best so far, after that Alabasta and then Arlong Park.These are my favourite ones.
My favorite was Arabasta followed by Water7/EL. Arabasta was just the TOTAL PACKAGE. Good drama, awesome fights, and the best OP vilian ever. I don't think Oda can ever top the awesomeness that is Crocodile. It was a completely enjoyable arc with a satisfying (key word) ending.

Overall, I put Arabasta over it because it did just about everything right, where EL faltered. Still, they are both very good arcs, but Arabasta wins it.
Dammit, you stole my opinions! I demand you get out of my head!
Everything he said, I agree with.
When I'm bored (aka drunk) I always go back and watch the arlong arc. If I had to put out my favorite, I'd probably say Whiskey Peak. Why? Considering that Zoro is my favorite character… bingo.
Excluding single-character badassery:
1.) Alabasta
2.) Arlong Park
3.) Enies Lobby
I also thought that Zoro's "training" on drum island was hysterical.
My favourite is probably Water 7/Enies Lobby at the moment.
Least Favourite? Probably the Davy Back Fight, It almost feels like filler.
I recently reread the Jaya arc for support on a theory, and I couldn't help but admire the detail and originality Oda put in there. It really is a underrated arc, and certainly a favorite.
I really don't have a favorite arc.. All of them were good in my mind, some more than others of course, but if I had to choose.. I'd say that my favorite would be the Enis Lobby arc and then for some reason it would be followed by the quick G8 filler arc. I don't know why I liked that arc, I just did.. o.o
mine would have to be Enies Lobby and Skypeia.
both have good storylines, and enies lobby is where luffy finally get's the recognition he deserves.
and ya, skypeia could have been better, but eneru is just so cool
Water 7/Enies Lobby is ranked at the very top of my list. With this arc, you get so much character development from the Straw Hats, it really is a turning point for the series. We go through losses (some tearful), but the gains are what make this arc the defining favorite in my list.
Alabasta follows shortly after that, but mainly for the awesome finish between Luffy and Crocodile. So majestically perfect.
My favourites would be
water 7/ennies lobby by a long shot…siomply elevated the series and the characters...introduced an amazing new crew member...and had the two best back stories out of all the one piece characters so far. Robin especially was really excellent
peace
Probably Alabasta Arc but I haven't seen the Enies arc yet so I may change my mind.
Just 2 mroe episodes until Enies arc.
The Arlong Park Arc is without a doubt the best One Piece Arc. Why? Every Straw Hat Pirate kicks butt, and everyone has a great time in the end. I loved the whole par-tay they had in Chapter 95: Spin, Pinwheel. Also, Luffy kicks butt with the Gum Gum Battle Axe (hey, thats my name!).
Oh, by the way, 4kids cut off the par-tay from the show (those morons). Almost forgot, the Alabasta Arc's incredible too…I liked the Gum Gum Storm move (kinda crazed, but it kicked Crocodile's butt so who's complainin?) Not to mention Zolo's beating Das Bones with a Single Sword Lion Strike...if only I was around to see that...
Mm, this is hard…okay, a few thoughts, in no particular order...
Jaya is certainly up there, since it boasts one of the most genuinely unpleasant (as opposed to flamboyantly evil) villains of the series, as well as the first meeting with the Blackbeard pirates...it all just seems to hint that there is still so much to come, even after all the excitement of Alabasta. It's also a more tightly written than a lot of the longer arcs, and there's not a lot in there that you could leave out.
Much as I liked Alabasta, in parts, it could have been a whole lot shorter. Still, the dynamic between Crocodile and Vivi (his obsession with tormenting her seems almost sexual, it's sort of unique in the show) remains one of the series' high points.
Drum would have been great, if only the villains hadn't been so utterly uninspiring. I mean, he eats people, he has built in cannons and a submarine, and rides a giant hippo! How could you go wrong with that? As is was, I was more emotionally engaged by the afro guy...
Buggy the clown's mini-arc before Loguetown is enormously entertaining, as it brings my two of my favourite characters together in one of the series' greatest fight scenes: Buggy's extremities VS Gaimon!
Skypeia was absolutely filled with great ideas (did anyone else find themselves wishing that impact dials existed?), but was far, far too long. The Calgara/Norland flashback could have easily lasted one episode, and two or three of the excessive fight scenes (Zoro vs Braham seemd so utterly pointless...) would not have been missed.
I actually liked the Davy Back Fight, even if it was too long and rather pointless and silly. Not only becasue I find very long animals intrinsically funny, but I thought there was a lot of good characterisation for the crew as they tried to work together on tasks more complex than the simple routine of getting lost and kicking ass that they'd been used to.
Water 7, which I'm watching now, may win it for me though, since everything has just gone INSANE. There's emotional turmoil in a crew that have been nothing but sweetness and comradeship up till this point, Luffy finally comes into his own as a captain, and the villains are scaring the hell out of me before the strawhats even meet them. I think we may be onto a winner....
...or at least we would be, if I hadn't run out of episodes at 245. Darn it.
I really loved Alabasta. The humor, action and plot were great. The part in the desert was just so funny with Ace joining the gang for a few eps. (Ace vs Smoker made me laugh so hard it was impossible) They walk, a monster appears, they beat it, they eat it. It was great. xD And good lord, Crocodile had the most annoying laugh ever. I wondered if it was just me who thought that it sounded weird until Usopp imitated his laugh. xDDD Mr 2 Bon Clay-sama was noteworthy.
I didn't really like Skypiea but I have to admit, Norland and Calgara's and their descendants' story was heartbreaking. The python was funny too. It was in this arc that Luffy showed his imitation techniques the most. xDDD I was sad to see how nobody died. So basically, Enel's power was just useless? Good to show off but kills nobody. People should die already. :[
Water 7/Enies Lobby. Really great one. The drama, the humor, the action. Everything was there. But just because the anime wants to buy time, everything was draaaaged to the maximum. Something that happened during 1 minutes was dragged into 10 episodes because of the flashbacks.
I wasn't fond with the Davy Back fight. Though Sanji and Marimo-kun did a great job.
Yes, it is ridiculous the way Enel is so puny. One person surviving a lightning strike, maybe, but EVERYONE he attacks, upon whom he has presumeably focused his full killing power, just getting up and dusting themsleves off afterward really made him a lot less scary…Plus, Wiper lost all credibility after the sixth or seventh mortal wound.
hi guys…hey, anybody know where I may be able to find music from One Piece: Grand Adventure? I figured you peeps may know. BTW, Arlong Arc is STILL da best.
