Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 515

Run! There are new episodes of One Piece at OnePieceOfficial.com

Thoughts
This was a great episode to watch the first time through. Every scene felt meaningful and added another layer of depth to the characters that were focused on in this episode.

Then I had a second viewing of this episode. It was not as fun to watch and I wanted to skip to the highlights. This does not occur often when I re-watch episodes. Maybe it is because I know that cool things are in store very soon and that all of this is just set up.

The revelation at the end of the episode had the same impact through both viewing. I will get to that later in the post.

Also a reminder, next week is the premiere of Opening 15, We Go.

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 514


Ahh! It was my face! They do things right at OnePieceOfficial.com. Just not today. It burns…

First Thoughts
I was not sure what this episode would portray, to be quite honest. With all of the talk about the 15th opening coming soon, I haven’t paid much attention to other One Piece related discussion in a week or so. However, I was quite curious to see how Nami would wrangle herself back on good terms with the little old men in the clouds, and Franky is always fun to watch (except right now, because he blew up priceless technology and information. He blew himself up as well.) However, I have to admit, Fate has found a way to hurt me once more. Again, I am stuck reviewing Sanji’s segment on Peachy Island. Oh, my pain…my terrible, terrible pain…

Manga: Chapter 638 (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 512

What did you just say? Is it about my face? Oh no, it is just this great episode at OnePieceOfficial.com. Silly me.

First Thoughts
This episode ended up being quite excellent. It spotlighted a wide variety of characters, and conveyed a lot of information that was very interesting to hear. Not a lot of time was spent in any one location either, so I did not have to worry all that much about being immersed in a (bleh) pink landscape as much as I had initially imagined. Still, this was a fantastic episode, and I loved it. Every moment of the episode was incredible fun, and there was never a dull moment. This was an awesome episode through and through, especially involving the depiction of the ending. It was an instant classic.

Anime: Post Marineford Arc- Episode 513

Don't sleep during the action! Watch new episodes of One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com!

First Thoughts 
Whoever that is in charge of merchandising for One Piece needs to get to work on creating a huge Bepo pillow. I would be willing to import one just so I can have it in my room. There will be many fans who would do the same. Screw all of those Chopper merchandise. We need more Bepo merchandise.

This episode moved pretty fast. I was very surprise to see how much was covered before the eyecatcher came. It was kind of strange since I thought we were only one-fourth though the episode when the eyecatacher appeared. It turns out that we were already at the fourteen minute mark. That is a sign of a good episode.

I still want a giant Bepo pillow.
