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 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 509

Have you seen this man? You can find him by watching One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts 
This episode had a lot of cool things to look at. Zoro himself is cool to watch and add a bit of Mihawk and Perona you have a party! Then we have Brook who is always a riot.

To tell the truth, I so really enjoyed watching this episode the first time around but it does not seem to do well in reruns. Either way it was a fun episode to watch as we get bits of information here and there via Mihawk.

Anime: Friends' Whereabouts Arc- Episode 456

Don't worry! You can watch One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com!

First Thoughts
So after a bit of a break from blogging about the anime, I am back....I am sorry. I promise that Sora will be back next week.

This was some episode with the constant running around with Zoro and the pantyshots for Brook. Though I have to say that the Zoro part had something of fanservice from Perona with all the cleavage shots she was giving us. Maybe I was the only one that notice it since I like Perona but there was a good lot of them. There was enough of it where I had to conduct an 'investigation' for it. Due to the time limit, the investigation wasn't through but detectives have to do with what they are given. I can just hope that maybe in the future we can revisit Zoro's predicament in order to continue this investigation.

Figure Piece: Dragon Ball X One Piece Kai DX Roronoa Zoro


I'm pretty new to One Piece fandom, I've really only gotten into it in the past year, and I'm about 60 episodes into the anime, and only up to about volume 10 in the manga. Catching up to the massive backlog of episodes and chapters is very daunting, but so far I'm enjoying it.

That said, my favorite character is Roronoa Zoro, the pirate hunter. Once I knew that I would be attending A-kon, it was only natural that I would be on the lookout for a good Zoro figure to start my One Piece/Zoro collection. Figure collecting is something that I've only started around 4-5 years ago, and most of my collection is simply gashapons - small boxes that hold small random figures that you put together. In the past year, I've moved up to collecting the bigger PVC figures as well. At A-kon 21 this year, I ended up buying Dragon Ball X One Piece Kai DX Roronoa Zoro by Banpresto.

Anime: StrawHats Separation Arc- Episode 421


First Thoughts 
Well umm...Hmm...My first thoughts....Well I knew it was going to be funny. I mean the Brook part at least. The Zoro part I knew I was going to laugh but not as much as the Brook part. There was Perona but I knew that she would be doing something to Zoro but wasn't sure what. Still my money was on Brook being the funniest part since well...it is Brook. He kind of more comic relief right now then anybody else in the crew.

Though I had no idea on the ending. Totally didn't see that one coming.

Well yeah. My First Thoughts for this episode are lame. Either I am tired out from school today or just not much on first thoughts on this episode. Maybe the rest of the post will be better.

Anime: StrawHat Seperation Arc- Episode 420

 
First Thoughts
Well my literally first thoughts was that the animation for this episode looked very Movie 7/Movie9-ish. I mean I only seen one of those two movies but I really like that animation style. Well I like it because it is different but I don't think I would like it if every episode of One Piece was made like that. It is kind of like in Pokemon back in the Indigo League days and then the change of style that they used for the first Pokemon movie. It seems like the One Piece anime pulled out the special crayons for this episode and I think it really was a good choice. It did a good job in setting the tone of the episode as a dark and almost bleak setting. The anime crew for One Piece went beyond the norm in setting the tone for this movie by not only have the right music but also had the animation match the episode.

Or that what I think...
