Anyway. I watched the rest and I'm sad it's over. They Return of the King'd the ending of the season a bit but it set up a lot of stuff. I really wanted more scenes of the main cast on the boat together bantering with each other. Those scenes, usually at the beginnings and ends of episodes, were the ones I enjoyed most. I suppose because they were already condensing so much into such a comparatively short space of time, but still - hope to see a little more of that in s2. The show was almost always great when it was the main guys talking and then it cut away to Coby or Zeff or Buggy and it lost something.
I guess I'm somewhat into One Piece now? Like I've been watching clips on youtube and stuff. But it seems impenetrably long. It's weird to have a growing obsession that I'm not likely to cultivate further.
Not enough ship banter scenes is a classic fan complaint about the manga too.
