Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 495

Close that mouth! New One Piece episodes can be found weekly on OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts
So we are only five episodes away from the big 500. Yep...The big 500. Wonder if Toei is going to do something special for this episode. Wonder if Funimation going to mention something. I wonder if anybody is going to complain how episode 500 wasn't exciting due to the material that the episode covered. Yeah....That what most likely will happen.

Oh yeah....We talking about Episode 495 which is five episodes before Episode 500. What is there to say? Hmm....It was good. I guess you can read the rest of the post to find out my thoughts since I have nothing here.

Question Corner: Best Female?

In anime, guys tend to be the main focus but we all know that girls can be a very good reason to be interested. May it be because of their witty intelligence or their luscious bodies. A touch of female can make any brutal and manly anime into something a bit more finer.

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 494

Be happy, it is a Chibi-Luffy! Only at OnePieceOfficial.com do you get such touching flashback-arcs and cuteness of little kids. Aw.

First Thoughts

Sora here, on time - who’d have thought? - and extremely excited to see this new opening! Gods, this opening was amazing! It absolutely blew the last two openings right out of the (proverbial) waters with the music, animation, and presentation of events. I love the part when Ace pushes Luffy towards the straw hat; it is portrayed really well in the suddenly zooming-out manner. Otherwise, this episode was

Oh, and whatever happened to episode 492? Did they just decide that that particular episode was bad, or did one of the animators find great offence in the number 492 randomly? We shall (probably) never know…

Interview Piece: Chris Patton & Leah Clark (& Introduction)

Hello and welcome to the first of many possible posts by yours truly, the one and only PirateBeck. For those of you who don't know me, I spent a good deal of my time researching and uncovering information about internationally produced dubs of One Piece, ranging from actor information to song dubbing, from across the world. And when I say 'from across the world', I mean that most of my research is of the American and Singapore English dubs. I wish I spoke languages outside of English and even then, I'm nowhere near perfect when it comes to speaking that either!

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 493

Don't be shocked. OnePieceOfficial.com has new episodes weekly!

Thoughts
Hey hey! Mikey back to doing the anime post and it just so happens to be the one with the new opening! Damn! I don't know if this is a good thing or a bad thing but either way I am here to discuss the new opening along with the new episode.

The opening just happens to start as we begin Luffy's flashback. So the two kind of  goes together in a way as the opening gives a look at Luffy's past and story so far while we are currently looking at Luffy's past. Something interesting to think about.

Mikey's Note: Due to the new opening, this post will be image heavy.

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 491 *Late*

It is always a sad time to say goodbye to this grand Arc. Of course, WE can see what happens after the fighters disperse right over at OnePieceOfficial.com…

First Thoughts

Sora once more, seemingly in a pattern of school-dazed lateness…but with all good intents and purposes, this episode sure did lift my spirits considerably! Well, erm, sorta. After all, in all of the ways this war could have ended (and people recuperated in the aftermath), it turned out rather well. For some people. But not Luffy. As this episode so easily points out, the aftermath of the Great War is certainly not the end to piracy, or even a break from it. Hancock has an actually important decision to make here, and even with her newly-found Real Nice-ness, it may not be enough to see Luffy through…all-in-all, not what I was expecting. Much, much better!

Con Piece: The Anime Matsuri Rodeo Round Up

Welcome to Anime Matsuri 2011 where you can find anime, manga, girls in hot outfits, guys in skirts and....cowboys? Well that what happens when you put your anime convention across the street from the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.

Anime Matsuri went down during the last few days of Spring Break (March 18th-20th). There was clearly some problems that arose due to having the convention close to Houston Rodeo but it was interesting to have a mix of anime congoers dressed in cosplay next to people dressed in rodeo get-ups. Then there was the fact that this year Anime Matsuri had a cast of awesome voice actors that were worth seeing.
