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 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!

Anime: Marineford Arc- Episode 490 *Late*

What a great way to start off…well, anything actually. This type of great “final lines” can only be found at OnePieceOfficial.com. I’m there. Are you?

First Thoughts

Sora back (and late…again) with last week’s episode of One Piece! Hey, think of it this way, skipping a week to get double the episode coverage for the price of one, right?

This was an astounding episode, these whole last few have been a wonderful end to the epic Whitebeard War Saga. Only an episode or two to go until it is over, and from the action on-screen you can definitely tell. The events of this episode where only a bit over half of a surprise, but it was totally worth it. Great episode, and I can tell you, I am stoked for the official end of this Saga-to-end-all-sagas!

Anime: Marineford Arc- Episode 486 *Late*

This is the face your boss makes at you when you are late for something...or you know, trying to kill you. Scary… OnePieceOfficial.com has all the details for why villains who uphold Justice make this face though. Enjoy.

First Thoughts

Ah, this is so late…(as usual), again. But this episode is (almost) worth the wait. Not as epic-ly exceptional as the prior episode, but still rather important. It doesn’t get thru much action, but certainly hits on some crucial points, and the end really picks up the action nicely. I was overall rather pleased with the episode in general. (It holds no comparison to episode 485 however, that episode was kick a--.) Makes me hate Blackbeard all that much more, haha.

Okay, so this episode was great. It was really important and turned out to be a lot better than I had previously thought. I just had to re-watch it like 7 times or something, haha.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 450

Fear not! You can watch One Piece in the US on OnePieceOfficial.com 

First Thoughts
This episode really made me look back to the chapters in Shonen Jump to make sure that everything was done right. I know that the anime has mostly been loyal to the manga but some parts made me wonder if it really happen like it was. I only read the manga for this part once but some things felt a bit off like the final blow and where it happen. Still all was right in this episode as being loyal to the source. Not sure if that is a good thing but at least I know that all is correct.

This has to be one of the better episodes that we have gotten. Everything was nicely paced and the filler was good. What more could we ask for during an important part in the arc. Where the episode ended was just perfect too since it wasn't just rushed and cut off. The only thing I am wondering about is where will the next episode end on but that is something that can be talked about later on in this post.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 449

Be awesome! Watch One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts
This was a great episode. The ball is finally moving and I am glad that the episode was better then what the preview was making it look like. The preview for this episode wasn't great and it didn't do a good job in selling me this episode. Still the episode itself was a great watch and ten times better then what it looked like.

Mr. 3 looks awesome up there doesn't he? haha Don't think he has pull off this type of awesome since his run during Little Garden but either way keep it up.

Beside the episode being awesome, it was pretty funny too. Just in One Piece grace and style. What more could be ask for right? haha

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 430


First Thoughts
CROCODILE! Crocodile was in this episode! I mean we never saw his whole body but we heard his face! Saw his pretty face! And we saw his hook! His hook! Oh my gosh! Boy was it cool to see good old Crocodile. Well isn't exactly good but you get what I mean. Just so awesome to see Crocodile again. I am so excited to see more of Crocodile (and the rest of his body) in the anime soon.

The episode overall was cool to see since it was funny to see Luffy, Buggy and Mr. 3 in their antics. haha Somehow I think this episode was a bit padded since I was surprise to see where we were at half way though the episode. I love the image above though. haha Chibi Luffy, Buggy and Mr. 3. Love those moments in the episode.

I think that is all that matters for now. haha

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 423


First Thoughts
Well I should have used an image from the Hancock and Luffy moments but really I think this one is better sutied. Even though there was more Hancock and Luffy, or at least feels like there was more.

This episode felt very longish or at least stallish. I mean I enjoyed the episode but it felt just really stalled. To me some parts of this episode felt like it should have been shorten or not shown while some things should have been stretched out.

Also the recap of the last episode was long!  I mean did we really need that long of a recap from last episode including everything that Hannyabal said was included. Man...I hate that guy.

So yeah...Maybe because this First Thoughts section is being done on Sunday that this one is a bit lacking or something. Meh.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 422


First Thoughts
WELCOME TO IMPEL DOWN! MUHAHAHAHA!

Well this was some episode. I mean my main problem is that most of it was just a bunch of screenshots of things that were inside Impel Down. Those shots gave a look into Impel Down's environment of being a harsh place where the prisoners are treated like crud. Still it just felt like they were trying to waste time and try just prolong the episode as much as they can.

Still this episode had it's moments. Once again we get some good music to match the moments in this episode. Then even though the screenshots we got of Impel Down was too much, it gave us an insight into the prison. To tell the truth I am truly scared of what will happen in Impel Down and scared on what has happen so far inside those walls of the 'Great Prison'. Though got to give props with setting up the setting of what will be for the next who knows how many episodes.
