They just barged into Crocodile's casino and of course immediately got caught.

Sand Sand fruit seems pretty cool so far. Crocodile in general has been a pretty cool villain so far..

post 87 is where i read up to. tag

watching OP now myself after thinking i'd hate the show my whole life. but, it's pretty fucking fantastic. i just got to where luffy wants to add reindeerboy to the team.

been watching the show through oncepace instead of individual episodes, so i was surprised to see you talk about a dragon. having not watched the series, i think the onepace is way to go, bcause the few episodes i had to watch on cruncyroll goes so much more slowly.

Zoro's fighthing this entire nest of bounty hunters ally by himself. Fuck yeah.

I fucking love Zoro. He's probably the best example of a "generic badass" archetype done right I've ever seen.

Loyal as fuck, but outside of his loyalty to Luffy and his own personal moral compass, is cool to let most things slide till it becomes personal.

Also is weirdly feminist?
You must mean chivalrous. Nothing feminist about Zoro.

Not sure why Onepace exists for early episodes. There weren't really any pacing issues until later episodes.

So far I haven't noticed anything too egregious, but I know multiple people have said that things get real bad pacing wise in a couple more arcs.

I'm guessing Onepace is just like, a streamlined version of the show with filler and flashbacks cutout?

Unlike Sanji, he actually sees women as equals. He's not afraid to fight women fighters because he holds them to the same standards as male fighters: If you're a threat/worthy foe, he'll fight you, no bias against gender.

Doesn't give a shit about gender roles, encourages his childhood friend to keep pursuing her goal to be the world's greatest swordsman despite her father and everyone else saying she can't because she's a woman.

I don't think he's ever been generally demeaning to women as of yet?

He's gone off on Nami a couple times, but only after she tricks him into being more in debt, so like, that's kinda a fair reaction.

I am watching the sub to be fair, idk if the dub makes some changes that come off differently.

judging by what i've seen from pace and piece, pace just goes so much faster. it removes the middle episode cuts, the title card, it doesn't start next episode with scenes from prior episode, no flackbacks from an episode or two earlier, and just generally goes through episodes faster.

The mountain of episodes to go through from the beginning kinda made me reluctant to start the show, but pace has helped me decide to watch it. probably saved a few hours already just through the beginning of alabasta arc.

I have never skipped one piece's 5th opening, bleach's 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 6th openings (bleach had a lot of good openings to be honest) naruto shippuden's 3rd opening (blue bird), and dragon ball super's 2nd one/limit break x survivor for example.

Difficult question, depends on the kinds of media you like in general. I can give some generic recommendations?

If you dislike anime and long series altogether, the studio ghibli movies are a good entry point, assuming you havent seen them.

Other movies that technically count as anime but arent like, anime would be paprika and akira.

You'd maybe like Ghost in a Shell. And then moving towards more anime-anime, you have cowboy bebop, samurai champloo, sword of the stranger...

Most anime series have somewhere between 24 and 30 episodes.
Old post but sword of the stranger isn't very anime-y

Jesus Christ, how is Vivi so clumsy? I swear she trips every other episode.

Almost done with Albasta. They found the polygraph or whatever the fuck it was called, and Crocodile turned on Nico Robin. I've had it spoiled for me that Nico joins the crew at some point, so I'm really curious to see how that plays out.

yusiko posted...

I'm guessing there's still one more 1 on 1 fight with Luffy and Croc (Luffy just got beat a second time, damn Luffy.) but as of right now, I'd say:

Zoro > Ussop/Chopper > Sanji > Nami

Yeah, it's kinda funny that they play up how Ussop is "just a regular human" compared to all the crazy strong fighters on the crew, but the amount of injuries Ussop has sustained on their journey is insane. Dude's super power is to be able to get the shit beat out of him and still bounce back.

Yeah, it was nice to see Nami actually in a legit fight, but the fight itself was kinda lackluster IMO.
Climatact is interesting, but I hope that they show her actually master it later, cause that first fight was just so joke-y and like, meh.

Ussop/Chopper's was good, but honestly, I think they lose points for me for having a joint fight. Everyone else got a one on one, but they had to team up?

And I know it was mostly for Ussuop's sake too. Chopper can hold his own, but Ussop REALLY struggles, so I feel like he got kinda lumped in with Chopper out of neccesity.

Was still a good fight tho, I just wanna see Chopper go toe to toe, one on one with more folks. Outside of Zoro, Chopper's probably my favorite crew member at this very moment.

Also love that Nico Robin just shows up, says "I'm joining you now." and it just happens. Was not how I expected that to happen, but it's a nice change of pace from Luffy's normal recruitment methods.

Chopper might be moving up to be my favorite character atm. He's just so cute and such a fun character.

I say again, I absolutely 100% loved Alabasta. It's a hell of a ride and it has everything you could ever want from a series of this kind.

It's very cool. I'm much, much less familiar with content after that, because I just didn't have the steam to keep watching. It was excellent, but kind of exhausting.

Same tbh. She more than earned the title.

No one tell me if it happens or not, but I do really hope that eventually way down the line we get to see her interact with the crew again. They're family tbh, would love to see them have some kind of intersection later.

Dude, same. Shit gets pretty dark, like, literally (end of the arc spoilers) a full on unnecessary civil war happens, and while they brush off some of the death toll by having like, Pelle and some other people not actually die, the death count was still easilly in the thousands by the end of it. That's pretty heavy.

Also the fact that Luffy lost twice to the same dude is pretty unprecendted up to this point, and I appreciate that the series is willing to show that Luffy isn't unbeatable. He'll win when it counts, but he can still get his ass kicked just like anyone else.

yeah, earlier in the series i was thinking luffy is too OP and that it's kinda lame how easily he beats everyone. but i'm also only about 10% of the way through current story, with much more to go. it just started raining in alabasta and the war finally stopped. thinking robin must save luffy and the king or something out of the tomb. didn't robin save luffy the first fight with sandman?

whoowhee finally out of the desert level. what a fucking arc; i am impressed with how OP has been so far. so much so that I am watching the filler at the end of the arc and just savoring my team with the crew. while the episodes do not have much substance, it's further exploring these characters and what makes them who they are. last episode was the fireworks i got to.

gotta say, i really enjoyed the wind down in alabasta. especially the episode where luffy wakes up and the feast. the damn fruit basket scene is gold. replayed it a lot and got video and sent to my friends. usually the dinner fast eating trope is well overplayed, but this was a delight to see the demeanor change of all the guards and how they protect the crew from the marines.

I had seen that canvas before I got to that fist raising scene in the show, so it was awesome to get to that part and the original intro song started playing.
