I'm pretty sure watchop have the subbed version now. Well, it says they do now, which is good. I'm looking forward to the Post-War Arc, but I'm unsure on it, since it's most like going to be just flashbacks on Luffy's past with Ace, and more updates on what's happened to the Straw Hats during the commotion at Marineford. I'm looking forward to what Robin's been up to, with all that Revolutionary Army stuff at that bridge. :)

To be honest when I saw that they were all spread apart I got depressed. The sudden realization that it was gonna take forever for them to get out of their situation hit me xD.

 

[PearlShipper4Life]

Exactly I couldn't find a subbed version. watchop has the Raw hahaha

My favorite arc to this day is still Alabasta...idk why but i loved it. Water 7 comes in at a close 2nd.

Alabasta arc was good, it had Luffy V.S Crocodile that was such a good fight. Vivi how I miss her but hey at least they have cameos of her every now and than. I can't wait to get back to the main plot, more LuffyxHancock moments FYI. However kid Luffy is fun to watch so yah. I can't wait to see what happened to Robin too and Kidd cuz there rivalry is one of my favorites. Water 7 arc was awesome, I can't wait for it to be dubbed in English so we can own it on DVD.

 

[Alternative]

Alabasta is without a doubt, one of the best Arcs in the anime to date, or at least I think so. It's just funny and everything, and it introduces Mizu Mizu no Luffy which made me laugh. I remember when I would watch it in English when 4kids dubbed it, and they got really, at the start of Luffy and Crocodile's first fight and stopped, which was depressing. I really started to get into it then, and I wanted to see what would happen next. :)

Also iirc, Funimation already started dubbing Water 7?

 

[PearlShipper4Life]

Be glad they stopped before the big fight, they would have done so many edits its not even funny. Funimation version is ten times better, they do it pretty much the same as it was in the Japan version. From what I heard will get info on the next arc being dubbed by Funimation this weekend, look forward to itXD

 

[Alternative]

Since I've been thinking and watching One Piece a lot lately, and that I love it so much, I actually want to go and buy it, or at least one of them. I'll most likely go and buy the first one from Funimation, and try to get used to their dubbing, since I watched it a lot in English with 4kids dubbing. The only thing about 4kids that was actually good, was the theme song, which is more funny, then anything else. XD;

That's the better idea, yah Funimation version is ten times better than the 4Kids version. For some reason some people see that and think bleh about the show, well that's cuz it was a horrible version of it. Watch the Japanese with English subtitles or Funimation. Any ways forgot to say my opinion of the newest episode in Japan, it was so cute.

Spoiler:

New opening, it was so good one of the better ones as of late. Than we have kid Luffy who is freakin adorable, funny and every thingXD So many funny scenes and the animation and music was good too, over all a good episode, one of my favorites. I'm thinking, the anime team will do a good job on this arc.

New Chapter out this week guys, just a heads up!

 

[Alternative]

I'm pretty sure the new arc will be good, but I'm highly unsure on it, since I'm guessing it will be mostly plot filler and flashbacks. If they show what's been happening to the other strawhats, especially Nami, Robin and Brook, then I'll be happy.

Flashbacks is one thing but I'm thinking its needed, oh do you mean the manga or anime? If you mean the anime, it is supposed to deal with Luffy/Ace so of course tons of flashbacks. I think from the looks of it though, the anime team can hanndle it, been enjoying it so far. Yah them showing what happened with the others would be awesome. Learning what happened to

Spoiler:

Zoro's eye

For one thing.

 

[EJ]

Man I liked the new intro but the episode itself was kinda slow imo. It was wicked cool though to see how they met, etc.

Looking forward to next week's

 

[Alternative]

I mean the anime. I mean, flashbacks are good and all, but only if they're really meaningful. One Piece, is something I've come to love, and that they do flashbacks really well. I think Robin's past was what really got me into all those flashbacks. I really do hope they flesh out the story of Luffy and Ace some more, and not too slow either.

Worst flashbacks were probably the Enies Lobby arc, where they just show us stuff we've already seen, except with the ending all the same. I just skipped all those, since I know all their pasts.

I do agree, those flashbacks in the Engies Lobby wasn't the best but this is an entire arc for it, not just one episode. I enjoyed it in the manga myself but it looks ten times better in the anime, seriously loved it. The opening, the music I felt matched it and every thing.

Awesome!

 

[EJ]

Yes! The intro was awesome. Since I haven't read the manga I'm still a little confused on the kid with Ace and Luffy but I'm sure they'll explain that soon.

 

[Alternative]

From what I've seen, he makes an appearance in the next episode and goes by the name of 'Sabo'. He is apparently the third brother of Luffy and Ace, or what they consider being a brother by sharing Sake cups or something.

Spoiler:

He's located in this new place Luffy encounters.

Also, from watching previous episodes, or just segments, it really reminded me of how much Zoro get's lost. I mean, one time at the Enies Lobby arc, when they're rescuing Robin Nami specifies that they have to run up the stairs to get to her, but Zoro runs down the corridor. Of course, he blames her for her directions being too confusing. XD;

 

[PearlShipper4Life]

The story behind Ace/Sabo/Luffy really is cute, this up coming arc explains a lot about Luffy. I think they did a good job in the anime so far, am sure the next episode will rock ;)

The latest chapter has been out 621

Spoiler:

Arlong wasn't what he seemed to be and the same can be said for Jinbe I mean wow. I'm really liking the Queen, sad that we already know what happens to her. How the heck did the Queen give birth to that big baby? I mean holy cow. Over all, these flashbacks have been fun, Oda is really good with this stuff. Can't wait to see how it ends, if they'll go save Zoro and his group soon, don't know how much longer the guy can go without air LOL.

Alternative I like your avatar ^^

 

[thedestinedblade]

Spoiler:

Someone mentioned in another forum that she might had the princess as an egg? Makes some sense at least. I'm glade the Queen isn't just a copy of her daughter. The scene with the thief was a bit cheesy, but I guess it was done to show the queen's unique personality. The last panel with all of the Sun Pirates was pretty badass.

 

[Zameric]

The only thing about 4kids that was actually good, was the theme song, which is more funny, then anything else. XD;

*High fives*
I have it on my iPod, let me know if you'd like a copy. :p

Yes! The intro was awesome. Since I haven't read the manga I'm still a little confused on the kid with Ace and Luffy but I'm sure they'll explain that soon.

Like Alternative said...

Spoiler:

He's the adoptive brother of Luffy and Ace.
You should learn some about him in this weekend's episode on Funimation.
The plot of this flashback arc will revolve around those three meeting and living together.

Also, from watching previous episodes, or just segments, it really reminded me of how much Zoro get's lost.

Yes, that's like Zoro worst trait.
He has no sense of direction when traveling.

Spoiler:

I'm not totally sure, but I think it's gotten better after the time-skip.

Spoiler:

I'm glade the Queen isn't just a copy of her daughter.

Spoiler:

Technically, the Princess would be a copy of the Queen. ;p
But also, it's been stated that there are great variety with merfolk and fishmen genes.
An individual could end up looking nothing like their parents.

Anime 494

Spoiler:

Well, I've read this whole arc in manga, so it will probably be very similar.
Hopefully they'll flesh out some scenes or make small additions.
The main thing I want to comment on is Sabo's seiyu.
I think Junko Takeuchi (Japanese voice of Naruto) was a great casting.
I might actually watch some of the arc now, instead of just skimming it. :p

 

[Alternative]

Seeing the scene just before the Marineford Arc with Zoro and Perona makes me question who's right. I mean, Perona told Zoro exactly where his swords were, and Zoro spent three days looking for them. :/

 

[PearlShipper4Life]

Ok this weekends episode aired, little lateXD

Spoiler:

This arc so far has been one of my favorites, every thing they've been doing is just wonderful. Good music, good animation, Kid Luffy is adorable to watch and I really liked how it ended. Another thing, I loved Luffy's lying face, guys right he's horrible at it LOL. Man I'm excited for the next episode even, I mean I know what happens and all but its even better in the anime as some one said.

Alternative Zoro has a bad sense of direction LOL. Just watch all the past episodes, even going on a stragiht path he gets lostXD

 

[Alternative]

I know Zoro has a bad sense of direction, but it's kinda funny as well. Even the Marines pointed it out. "Roronoa Zoro, we have been imformed that you have a terrible sense of direction."

I also watched the movie 8, which is a remake of the Alabasta arc, and I didn't really like it. They left out so many things in there, like all the stuff at Rainbase and Vivi getting chased up the cliff by Bon Kurei and everything. It was kinda annoying which upsets me. It makes me want to go back and watch the Usopp and Chopper vs Mr. 4 and Miss Merry Christmas fight again. ^_^

Anime 494

Spoiler:

I quite enjoyed the episode. Introducing Sabo as Ace's friend, and the treasure. Luffy's lying face was enjoyable. I wonder what's going to happen now with their complicated relationship. :/
