Manga: No Chapter This Week (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!
Time to take bets! Speaking of! Bet on Viz for your One Piece Manga!


Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 507

Be passionate about your love! Watch the newest episodes of One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts
You know....it is scenes like the one above that help 'inspire' the boob fan art that you see all over the place. The ones where you see characters with SUPER huge boobs that in no way is possible in real life and totally look wrong.

Also those are some very badly drawn breast on Hancock. Even worse then what you see in the boob fan art.

Then again it was counterbalance by Rayleigh's manliness. So it all worked out.

Mikey's Note: Trying out something different with this post. Just play along and let me know what you think about this format. Maybe I continue this for future anime posts.

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 506

Yup. It is Franky. Doin’ his Franky-thing~GREAT. Back to his Cola-powered self at OnePieceOfficial.com. Be there.
First Thoughts
Well, my first thought was WOAH. My second was OH WOW. Yup, I am so sophisticated with my vocabulary. But still, I didn't know what to expect for the episode. I never did get to hear about the crew's reactions to this news, and it certainly was interesting, to say the very least. Also adding in a bit more on what went down on each of their islands was really useful information as well. I was appreciative of that part. Of course, I do believe that my absolute favorite part was at the very end, the last few seconds. It was...so completely different than the feel of the rest of the episode. Of course, Zoro's reaction was my favorite of all the Strawhats. Seeing them all get the news in a different manner was really excellent; it was different and cool, a good combination of spontanious-ness and normal news-bird delivery...hahaha~

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 505

Don't get booh-ed! Watch the newest One Piece episodes on OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts
Oh my! I don't care what anybody says. I truly believe that the anime is better then the manga. It is episodes like this one that makes me really love the anime. It is times like this where the anime takes what they are give and then improve upon it ten times. The manga is good and all but the anime just knows how to take it and fill in the blanks and shine the good parts even more.

Also I got a lot of screencaps of Makino. That is always good....I don't have a problem!

Also lots of StrawHat crew images. Wow.....

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 504



Just like Ace and Luffy have to deal with Garp beating some sense into them, so do I, in the form of my boss (coughcoughMikeycough), doing so to me on my late posts. Of course, mine is mentally ensued. Ace and Luffy…not so much. Only at OnePieceOfficial.com.
First Thoughts
Oh look, it is Sora with (fake gasp) another *Late* episode! Go figure. But hey, it IS a holiday weekend. Well, for us Americans, that is. Gotta love them federal holidays~ Hm, just noticed that there is very few screenpics tonight. Oh well, Mikey will make it up to you guys! (so I hear)
What a fantastic episode! It totally cheered me up from my depression of last episode with Sabo, because I thought of a fantastic idea~ Ha, take that, my friend told me a Wrong speculation on what happened to Sabo! Haha! Well, I am just really excited to see Ace and Luffy’s separate send-offs, and how they learned who they were. It was a really important, relatively canon episode from the looks of things. Exactly the way I like it. I loved seeing what Makino did for Ace; that was hysterical when I realized that! Of course, seeing that Luffy is always thinking of Ace and Sabo…well, it really brings you into the mysterious realm of the Mind of Luffy. It makes me re-think what he is thinking about all the time on the Sunny Go’s head. Huh. Overall, this is a definitely excellent final episode to the trio’s flashback arc, and I loved seeing every minute of it; especially the part which gave me a fabulous idea about what Really happens to a character~
