One Piece Episode 446

[Archangel]

Once again Buggy is making this arc into an embarrassment.

True, that and the sub par animation quality are really making these last few episodes annoying to watch

But it can't be helped, they need to "fillerize" these episodes a little since they're getting too close to the manga and the epicness of what's to come needs them to lighten their budget for these less important episodes

[DarthEnderX]

If they wanted to add filler, maybe they could do it to some of these actual battles. They barely even showed Ivan vs. the bondage chick fighting.

Like the Blueno vs. Luffy battle was some of the best example of filler ever. They stretched out that first usage of Second Gear beyond two attack, and it was one of the most awesome scenes in the anime.

They stretched out the fight with the 3 guardian beasts. The power-rangersesque group of newkama that tried frantically to beat them for 10 minutes weren't in the manga. Instead the beasts showed up and were instantly mowed down by Luffy and the schichibukai.
