HOhohoohoh.. because Bounties are cool.
HOhohoohoh.. because Bounties are cool.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
That means they get bounties at shibukai and higher level, think a bit to much :P
Luffy gets around 175 - 200 and Zoro around 125-150 and sanji probably 100-125 or nothing at all
I think Sanji would still be the man of Mystery. Mr. Prince. The silencer of the team.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
I think the fillers are inevitable because the anime is too close to the manga. They have tried to slow down the pace of the anime by these recent flashbacks episodes and by introducing the long intros in each episodes but its not working. Something has to give.
So lets enjoy while he have the real thing at hands. When I was watching Skypia arc I thought to myself that Oda is not going to top Arabsiata magic again and how wrong I was. The water 7 arc has been wonderful and this Enies Lobby arc is just great. Looking forward to all the fights. Hope to see a better arc ahead of Enies Lobby. We believe in you Oda. I am sorry for not trusting you. Forgive me!
I too think that the higher bounties will be in effect after Luffy and crew are through with CP9. I hope that Sanji gets a bounty too. Its only been Luffy and Zoro so far taking all the credit.
Woohoo I went on a spree and now I have caught up. Holy poop this is fucked up shit, I fast forwarded all the fucking annoying flashbacks so they didn't ruin anything for me.
omg I don't know where to start. Luffy is a super sayian and he can do a kame hame ha together with Zoro apparently. Robin's sad ass flash back made me shed a couple of tears. CP9 nine are awesome. It's difficult to see what kind of resistance the straw hats will meet after CP9. And some more stuff that I can't really recall now.
lmao, you expected him to be worse than kishimoto?Originally Posted by Jadugar
dont expect the anime to catch the manga anytime soon. by the time a new episode shows up and manga will too. unless the anime shows two episodes per week.
Except that anime episodes normally cover 2-4 chapters of the manga instead of one, so a non-filler anime would eventually catch up to an ongoing manga. This is why the production uses flashback episodes or long recaps to slow down the series' catch-up speed in story arcs where they can't use filler episodes. If one anime episode really corresponded to one chapter of the manga, then Robin's flashback would've been 7 episodes long.
In Arabasta, the anime was able to stick in mid-arc filler episodes (remember the Sand Pirates?), but with the fast paced chasing in Enies Lobby, putting in filler material is impractical.
And boring ass flash backs aren't? Impractical that is.
@el_boss: I think you are missing his point. From a viewers perspective, flashbacks are impractical (although I would disagree, I liked rewatching Nami's flashback b/c the Arlong arc hooked me as a viewer) but not from a studio's perspective. How do you introduce filler in a fast paced arc like Enies Lobby? Maybe when Luffy went ahead of the Straw Hats he could, while evading hundreds of marines, run into a little boy, befriend him...wait! Only to find out that he went back in time to another island to help the boy. 4-5 fillers later, Luffy's task is complete and wakes up in EL only to realize that he was napping the whole time! I would take the flashbacks over a Naruto-esque filler.
Currently watching: One Piece, Black Lagoon, Bleach, Death Note, Suzumiya Haruhi,
The 12 Kingdoms, and Soukou no Strain (kinda)

If they add any filler to the arc it will be in the upcoming fights for the keys. They'll prob be able to get about a good 3eps per fight. With Luffy getting maybe 5. I just hope they don't pull a Bleach and set up all the fights at once just to skip them off. Stopped me from watching that show.
(Aeon's Top 5 Anime ATM)One Piece,Shakugan no Shana Second,Gundam 00,Naruto,Bleach
Adding filler at this stage will just break up the flow of the whole thing. Everybody has chosen their opponent and they are ready to give it all.
The flashbacks weren’t that bad and they came about at the right time. They highlighted what everybody in Luffy’s crew was feeling.
Kishimoto has just fucked up the whole Naruto ( I am assuming you read Naruto manga).
There is no comparison between the two. Both have their own place in the manga but the way Oda has developed OP is just amazing. Naruto still has time to grow, so we will see how it goes.
Over time since it started, OP has been getting better and better. Water7 and Enies Lobby have been even better than Arabasta and Skypiea (which says a lot, IMHO). The post Enies Lobby arc so far is looking even better. Naruto on the other hand, has gotten worse and worse ever since it peaked at the Chuunin exam arc... The finale to Naruto part 1 was awesome, but that was only like 4-5 chapters. Naruto part 2 has been really weak so far.
Yeah? I personally don't find the Skypiea arc that great. Personal preference IMo. To me, One Piece has been more of an up and up, except not so up for skypiea.
But yeah, Naruto is more of a rollercoaster ride.
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
Well maybe... Skypiea may have been a bit too long, and almost completely irrelevant to the plot as a whole, but I thought it still had everything else that makes OP so great.
I really enjoyed Skypiea. Of course, when I started reading OP the arc was finished so I was able to read all the chapters without waiting for one weekly.
For those who had to wait a whole week to get a chapter during Skypiea, I can understand where they are coming from. The arc was long and that was because many things dragged on (the flashback, luffy climbing the beanstalk) but to say that it is irrevelant to the plot is something I just don't understand. I found it had all the elements of One Piece.
Now, If there is ANY arc that would be irrevelant to the plot it would be the Davy Back Fight. Seriously, that arc is a canon filler. =/

The Davy Back Fight was great, if Naruto had fillers like that i would actually bother to watch them.
I said it was mostly irrelevant to the plot because they could have simply NOT gone to Skypiea at all, and absolutely nothing would be different in the story. In Arabasta on the other hand, Luffy defeated one of the Shichibukai, and as such drew a LOT of attention to himself and his crew. Water7 and Enies Lobby are shaping up the same way, with Luffy just having declared war on the World Government. The other (non-filler) arcs have centered around meeting new crew mates and whatnot. All that Skypiea really accomplished plot-wise, was reveal a little bit about the "Poneglyphs" and Gol D Roger.
Another progression... it gave Usopp dials, and further advanced Nami's weapons.
But I have to agree there, it didn't really make a big difference or huge impact, either than those. But I'm alright with it. It's not the best, but I'm glad there is such a arc. Sky island!
MmmMmm. Ooiiishiii
The ship got fucked up in skypiea, that's why Usopp left the crew n shit.
I do agree though that the skypiea arc sort of felt like a filler arc.
If nothing else, it was time well spent with the characters. In the end, the characters are the most important part of any story, and I think Oda knows that well. Skypiea gave everyone (including the audience) plenty of time to get attached to Robin. And now Oda is reaping the benefits of that character-work. And it's good that you mention Merry too... with that ship carrying them to the sky and all, it's easy to see why the crew can be so attached to it.
Even though it was probably very painful for people to watch the entire arc one week at a time... I have to wonder if Water7 and Enies Lobby would be at all the same without Skypiea preceeding it.
I have come to the conclusion that Oda is a genius.
