Best of Anime 09 and Predictions

So here we are at the end of another year. So many things have happen this year. We had the start of the simulcast, explosive action in the manga and anime, ten year anniversary of the anime and the release of Movie 10. What a year what a year. It is enough to make a grown man cry tears of joy with so much great things that had happen this year. Yet do you know what will make a grown man cry tears of sorrow? Having no One Piece.

haha There is me stealing something from Oda in the latest SBS. haha Sorry for that.

Still what a year for One Piece overall. Truly 2009 was the year of One Piece and what a great time to be a One Piece fan right? Here we are going to look back at some of the great moments that the One Piece anime had and take a look into the future to make some predictions on what may happen in 2010 for this great series.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 432

First Thoughts
Well I am welcoming the return of Mr. 2! haha This was a very funny episode. I mean the parts that didn't involve Magellen and Sadi-chan but it was funny. I was surprised that we got some stuff involving Magellen and Sadi-chan but that is all cool. It helped build the environment and stuff.

To tell the truth I was kind of hoping there wasn't going to be a new episode so I could work on other things but oh well. This was a good episode and very enjoyable.

Manga: Chapter 569 (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

Secret Santa: Hatenkou Yuugi (Dazzle)

 

So here is my review of Hatenkou Yuugi also known as Dazzle. If you ever meet me in real life and ask me to pronounce or say the name of this anime then I will yell at you to get out of my house! haha Still really, I don't know how to say the name of this anime and I don't think I want to try. I am not sure if this will be a good review. Don't get me wrong, the anime is good. I just don't think I am very good with reviews since I think most of the things I watch are good. Still how about we sit down and take a look at Hatenkou Yuugi.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 431

First Thoughts
Well this was an episode where I didn't expect to be so entertaining. The episode did a lot of scene jumping which was strange but at least it was entertaining none the less. We even got a good amount of cool flashbacks that fitted in nice while looking excellent in the new age HD TV. This episode also went by pretty fast but I guess that was because of all the scene jumping that was in this episode.

One Piece More: One Piece of Art

Originally this was suppose to be part of last More post that I did but due to all the stuff that I did I totally forgot all about this. So now this one piece of art will get a post all for itself since I think I will forget to do it later. Nice of me right? haha

One Piece More: Up and Coming in the World!

I think this image here matches pretty good what is  going to be talked about in this More post. I been meaning to do this post for a while but keep on forgetting to do it. I mean the post's main point is to talk about stuff that I am going to do with the blog for the next few weeks but there is more to it! I promise! Mikey-san no lies here!

Still I hope you guys enjoy what is here.

Manga: Chapter 568 (SPOILERS!)

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

Manga: Chapter 567 (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

One Piece More: Its MOVIETIME!

It is movie time! Get the popcorn out and your x-large drink ready and sit your butt in those comfortable movie theater with the sticky floors because Movie 10: Strong World will be coming out! Toei has been pushing this sucker for all they can with movie tie-in episodes for the anime, awesome trailers, manga volume with roots to the movie, endless color spreads! I mean this movie is going to be huge!

So this post is mostly for Movie 10. At least I am doing this for Movie 10! Just trying to do something since this is Movie 10 and all.

Anime: Little East Blue Arc- Episode 429

First Thoughts
Well here we go! The last part of the Little East Blue Arc has come! Everybody here is all pump up and ready to take on the Amigo Pirates!

This was a  really good episode. The first half was really good with all the fighting moments. I know I have some sort of obsession with Second Gear but just seeing Luffy going into Second Gear so early in the episode made me know this was going to be a good episode. Then the second half was slow but good. It fulfilled what I wanted from this arc and that is good. Love how One Piece really tied in everything to make sure this was going to be a good episode.

Well this episode just gave me everything I needed from this arc and a bit more. Still I get inSeto that later.

Manga: Chapter 566 (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!! SPOILERS!!!

Anime: Little East Blue- Episode 428

First Thoughts
Lots of evil face in this episode here. I mean it was almost all over the place by the same guy. Evil face here. Evil face there. There an evil face. Here an evil face. All an evil face! Just so much of it. To tell the truth this face here right now is getting me scared just looking at how evil it is. Doesn't happen much but then again I tend to have the funnier moments on the opener image. Though there wasn't much of those here in this episode.
