............
What just happened?
I'd like to think of it has "You've been Odaed". Think of it as a sort of opposite of Bleach where they start a fight then go on a 20 episodes filler.

I don't know who that is!
Who is Dadan?
Who are all these people I never heard of!!
Since when do people die in One Piece?!!?
Haha, i remember a certain someone underestimating Oda-sensei just a couple of months ago saying there wasw no way this would happen
FYI, the war isn't over yet. I wonder what other surprises await us...

Well, now that Ace has died, nobody else dying would be surprising.Haha, i remember a certain someone underestimating Oda-sensei just a couple of months ago saying there wasw no way this would happen

Unless......Luffy dies.
THAT BETTER NOT BE WHAT HAPPENS!
Indeed. This certain someone dared to question GOda-sensei and things have now crashed downHaha, i remember a certain someone underestimating Oda-sensei just a couple of months ago saying there wasw no way this would happen
This is how you can tell there's too many manga readers on this forum. Too many people going "Yeah! Didn't see that coming did you! In your face!"(people who likely didn't see it coming themselves when they were reading the manga) and not enough people reacting to the episode itself.
Aww come on, really, after all that Ace still dies... man it sucks to be Luffy now.

I won't disagree with you, though that should just strengthen our point that the manga is that much better
And for the record, i didn't see it coming either but i never doubted Oda's ability to blow my mind. I am beneath him and i accept it. Fanboy mode, engage.
How does it do that exactly?
I kinda saw it coming, but didn't want to believe it.. even after seeing this eps title, I still wouldn't accept it. I really expected Luffy to go SSJ2 at the end.. but I guess it's Whitebeard's moment to beat the shit out of Akainu.
Go Newgate!! Go out with a bang!
There are several moments when the anime is fairly superior though imo.
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end each of us must work for his own improvement, and at the same time share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful. -Marie Curie
I won't deny it, the scene where Luffy stood up against Lucci was bloody magnificent
The problem though, is that even with above average fillers the pacing is much worst in the anime

I don't really agree with that at all. I read most of the manga after it's already aired to see the differences, and I find the manga to be paced almost TOO fast. Especially in this arc. The amount of crap that goes on in any given chapter makes the whole thing seem like a frantic clusterfuck.
And, at the end of the day, fights just fucking suck when they aren't animated.
Things like Whitebeard tipping the entire island are about 10x cooler in the anime than they come across in the manga.
Well... The whole thing is supposed to be a frantic clusterfuck. Its a war, and was a race against time to save Ace. It isn't a "hey lets watch 2 people have a duel before we get on with our fight" or "hey lets read entire chapters/watch entire episodes dedicated to minor characters fighting other minor characters".
Didn't stop them from doing it in Alabasta with "Hey, lets pair off and have a bunch of duels when we're supposed to be preventing this war" or in Enies Lobby of "Hey, lets pair off and have a bunch of duels when we're supposed to be breaking Robin out of imprisonment."
