Anime: Marineford Arc- Episode 489

Don't get Bepo mad. Watch your new episodes of One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts
Got to do this fast so I can get back to playing Pokemon Black.

So here comes Shanks to end the war. Got to say that it gave me the same feeling that I got when I saw this in the manga a year ago. Well...that isn't completely true since I did found some parts of the episode exciting but overall it felt the same as it was during the manga.

To tell the truth....I don't have much of first thoughts as I really want to get back to playing Pokemon Black right now. haha Hey! Don't judge me....

By the way....Got so many screencaps of this episode that I literally gave up caring towards the end. Glad the Marineford is over because I hope in the future to take less screencaps.

Anime: No New Episode

Benn Beckman says Hi. Also to watch your One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com

So incase you didn't hear, there is no new One Piece episode for this week. One Piece is on break and will return next week on March 5th. Kind of a shame since we left on a high point with the arrive of Shanks at Marineford.

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!

Manga: Chapter 580 (SPOILERS!)

SPOILERS! SPOILERS! SPOILERS!

Don't cry! You can buy One Piece manga from Viz! Volumes 39-43 on sale now!

Con Piece: Going KamiKaze Con! Part 2!

Ahh....Voice Actor love. No other purer love then that. Or was that something else? I don't remember.

So here is the second part of my coverage of KamiKaze Con, the little con that could. Got to say that this con really let me get close to the VAs since it was so small. I mean I was able to take a picture of Chris and Sammi hugging though I don't think they knew I took this picture. Either way there were some good moments involving some of the VAs here. An example of one was us trying to fill up Chris's big orange cup with ice. Apparently it was too big to fit in the ice machine on one of the hotel floors. So I got my plastic folder and bent it a bit so it would funnel the ice into the cup. That was fun and now I got a great con story involving a VA, volunteering and cosplaying as Yuki.

Still to the meat of the post! Also check out Part 1 of my coverage of Kamikaze Con if you haven't done that yet.

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.

Manga: Chapter 557 (SPOILERS!)
