One Piece More: Down Goes 2010

We are now at that time of the year where things are coming to a close. Another year is about to come to an end and while some part of it has sucked, things for One Piece has been nothing but good. Many great things have happen in both the anime and manga, Japanese and American, and lastly with the fans. Now just like many other blogs I guess we are going to be cliche and try to take a look at some of the things that we like concerning One Piece that has happen this year. Meh...We here try not to do what all the other blogs do but then again who am I trying to kid? haha

First Thoughts 
OH MY GOSH! I was smiling so much in the first half of this episode! Just seeing Luffy and Ace together made me so happy. Everything about the first half of the episode was perfect and I enjoyed every moment of it! This was the best way to end the year for One Piece. I felt tears of happiness after watching last week's episode and that happy feeling continue on from the first moment when I saw Ace and Luffy (with Mr. 3) floating in the air in the tunnel of flames.

Review Piece: Baccano! (Secret Santa)

A life of crime can last forever...
Don't let nobody tell you there's no future in a life of crime, because some rackets can last forever. But we'll get around to all that immortality jazz later. A mafia turf war is raging on the mean streets of the Big Apple, a place where regular joes bounce between backdoor booze joints and the breadline. But this caper ain't about a simple gangland brawl. It's about hoods who can't seem to die proper after catching a bullet or five between the eyes. Sadistic hit-men and the dames they love, mad bombers going boom, monsters going bump and soul sucking alchemists bootlegging an elixir of eternal life.


Just remember, Baccano! ain't about beginnings and ends. It's about the twists and turns, bub. Paths don't cross in this story - they collide. Every Dick and Jane plays the lead and it's gonna be a bumpy ride.

Anime: Marineford Arc- Episode 480

The LOVE episode. Yup, it’s only OnePieceOfficial.com that can deliver such beautiful, heart-wrenching moments such as these, and Still be just This Awesome.

First Thoughts

Sora here, proud and happy to announce that this is the last episode to cover a manga chapter I have previously read! Huzzah!! Now (minus the spoilers I already have regarding major events) I can actually be SURPRISED again upon watching my weekly One Piece episode. HUZZAH! Plus, this episode was amazing all on its own. Really surprising, blew me right out of the water, and had a perfect “One Piece” ending to the episode. Covered a lot of material as well, a lot of huge events occurred that were sure to freak out people who hadn’t already known what to expect. What I especially enjoyed was how quickly they moved the episode along, because they covered a lot of material here and it all went together so well, even with the few flashbacks.

{Oh, and I have non-officially dubbed this episode “The LOVE Episode”. Way too many instances of affection (brotherly, parenthood, friendship) to not have it be mentioned.}

First Thoughts 
This was such a great episode! Damn awesome! Everything felt fast pace and the action was intense. Even the filler with Buggy was good. The filler with Buggy was a bit strange but it had some great moments.

My favorite moments were the ones with Crocodile and Boa Hancock. Very awesome moments that I loved very much. Got to love some Crocodile action since that guy does it with class.  Then again we all know that Crocodile is going to dile...Or was it Croc? Not really sure.

First Thoughts

Again, I may add, I was surprised by the events which were covered in my episode. I mean really, this episode held onto a lot of the humor which last episode (477) had brought, and yet saved a few surprises of its own right at the right moments. It was also almost entirely beautifully drawn as well; excellent face-scenes and shots of people. The overall chapter that the episode covered was a phenomenal one in itself; a lot of Gasp! Moments, and then a stunning finale, revealing a lot of fun stuff to everyone, hehe. Excellent overall, very action-y, and very worrying for certain Whitebeard crew members. Very epic, and I was surprised at the end, I had completely forgotten that That occurred when it did. Very awesome.
