Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 448

This epicness can be seen by US fans on OnePieceOfficial.com!

First Thoughts
I really enjoyed this episode. It was one of the best that we have had in a long while which means it is better compare to the episodes that we had for the last three or so weeks. I do admit that the animation was a bit off and there was a part that made me wonder what was going on but overall this was a great episode. I would have to rank this one higher compare to the other episodes in this arc.

The fight between Ivankov and Inazuma really won me over in this episode and it is that action that got me pumped to see what will happen next. I really want to know what will happen to those two guys since they don't look too good right now. Maybe I have a short term memory but I don't remember being this excited to see what will happen next week. Instead of the 'I hope next week's episode is better then this week's' thing that I been feeling. Still to the episode!

Con Piece: Hanging with the Peeps at Anime Matsuri

Four years ago, a young anime fan went to his first anime convention. He made his first cosplay two days before the convention with glued on buttons. Four years later, this fan attended the same convention as a member of the media and is some what more knowledgeable about anime. His cosplay was much better prepare compare to the last first one. That anime fan was me and that anime convention was....

ANIME MATSURI!

This con holds a special place in my heart. Even though none of my friends liked this convention the first two years it was held, I just love this convention so much. Maybe it was because Anime Matsuri was my first con or maybe  because I actually love it. Still we all left this convention liking our experience this year and having fun. I only went for a full day and a few hours on Friday but it was really fun. I love all the One Piece fans that were here from the dealers room to the cosplayers.

Still enough of me doing all this reflecting, let just go to the stuff!

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 447

Show your love! People of the US, watch your One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts
You know, these episode titles have lately been very mistitled. We did get some fighting in this episode between Luffy and Blackbeard but it wasn't much. Just two minutes of punches and then we got flashbacks and talking. A mostly serious episode but I wish we could move a bit faster though.

Got to say that Buggy and Mr. 3 really saved the episode for me. Took us out of this little thing of watching Luffy and Blackbeard just stare each other down. Now that was funny.

This is a short First Thoughts. I blame the essay I have to do....Grr!

One Piece More: Entering the 'New Era'

I was planning to hold off with doing More pieces until I get caught up with all the other things like the Anime Matsuri post, interviews with Mike Mcfarland and Leah Clark and Females in Anime. Still some awesome news has been coming down the pipe about One Piece in the last twenty four hours that I just can't hold my excitement. I don't really do news reports and junk like that but whatever. This is an exception. haha

First Thoughts
How am I suppose to do this post without making fun or hating on Hannyabal (too much) yet also talk about him with respect. I mean the guy really did tried and if this was Luffy I would be praising him. Then again this is Hannyabal and he hasn't shown to be dependable at most times throughout this arc. So I am mixed on which angle to do this post. Decisions decisions.

Then again maybe I should choose a different image to use for the opener. I mean clearly there is a bias going on here. Hannyabal being punch in the face by Luffy? I mean the episode has Hannyabal name in it so that has to mean something right? Then again there was last week's episode and we all saw that the title didn't have much to do with what actually happen.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 445

OnePieceOfficial.com, the best place to watch One Piece in the US!

First Thoughts
This episode draws some mix feeling from me. I liked it because it was funny but the whole scene jumping really just made me not like this episode. The moments in this episode were really nice but it felt like we went nowhere really. Just stayed in one place and not moved at all. That isn't a bad thing but stand this episode next to the last few weeks and the episode looks bad compare to them. Those episodes felt like we were moving in a certain direction and it is kind of sad that we didn't keep that momentum.

Then I also felt that this episode as mistitled. I know that the episode title should mean much but it be nice if reference in the title had to do more with the episode then just less then something that only took less then five minutes in the episodes where nothing really happen.

Interview Piece: Greg Ayres

Well here is the last piece of my coverage of KamiKaze Con! An interview with Greg- I mean Ch-, wait? I mean Greg Ayres! There was no mess ups with names here even though I should have mess up his name a bit after doing that with his older brother.

Greg is really just a huge anime fan simply as that. The interview was very long and took forever to get though. Then again maybe it was a bad idea to transcribe everything in one sitting. Still you guys are in a treat since you get a lot of good information from the voice actor and some One Piece stuff. A little bit of everything.

One Piece More: Apirl Fools!

Now I am glad that I got these Hannyabal screen shots.

You know? I love April Fools. It is one of my favorite holidays. I just fall into laughter when I know it is coming that I just feel like I must do one. Pulling the sheets over a person and seeing or hearing their  reaction brings joy to me. I should have been tired on April 1st but I was running on the energy of the day. haha Still it only happens once a year so that is good right? Still you should have the spirit of April Fools with you everyday since we could all use a good laugh every so often. haha

Shugo Chara! Party!- Episode 120

First Thoughts
And here is another part of my mad rush to catch up with Shugo Chara! Party! I don't believe I let myself get behind. I just been so busy! Still here is one of the funniest episodes I think from Party!

Then we learn some interesting things in the Doki Doki. It was okay but I so loved the Puchi Puchi this time around. Ultimate homage to the Super Sentai. haha

Shugo Chara! Party!- Episode 113

First Thoughts
Well this was an episode about Rikka. If it wasn't for a certain person then it would have been kind of pointless in watching. Still it was a good episode. It had it's touching moments.

Shugo Chara! Party!- Episode 109

First Thoughts
Like I so loved this episode! One of my favorites in Party! I laughed so hard here and we got like so many little moments of Rima and Nagihiko! It was just so cute! I like have seen this episode like five times before getting down to writing this post and I laughed at each time I seen this episode.

Then the Puchi Puchi was funny too! I still don't believe that they are still trying to do that Shugo Chara Bomber. Still like let get to more in depth now!
