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.

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.

Anime: Marineford Arc- Episode 486 *Late*

This is the face your boss makes at you when you are late for something...or you know, trying to kill you. Scary… OnePieceOfficial.com has all the details for why villains who uphold Justice make this face though. Enjoy.

First Thoughts

Ah, this is so late…(as usual), again. But this episode is (almost) worth the wait. Not as epic-ly exceptional as the prior episode, but still rather important. It doesn’t get thru much action, but certainly hits on some crucial points, and the end really picks up the action nicely. I was overall rather pleased with the episode in general. (It holds no comparison to episode 485 however, that episode was kick a--.) Makes me hate Blackbeard all that much more, haha.

Okay, so this episode was great. It was really important and turned out to be a lot better than I had previously thought. I just had to re-watch it like 7 times or something, haha.

Anime: Marineford Arc- Episode 485

Don't be a 1337 loser! Watch your One Piece episodes at OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts 
I don't know how I got stuck with the episodes where people get killed. I thought Sora would have gotten these but I guess it wasn't in the cards. Too many times we had to switch weeks due to things going on in real life I guess.

Blackbeard is a prick. I really think that Blackbeard doesn't deserve the praise that people give him and this episode was a good example of this. There was certainly some awe inspiring moments but they didn't involve big old Blackbeard. This was clearly Whitebeard's episode as the guy gave it his last stand. Literally.

Anime: Marineford Arc- Episode 484

This is the face of your enemy when you vainly rush at him in anger, only to fall after you land a few choice blows. “You are still too weak.” See the intense emotions skyrocket only on OnePieceOfficial.com, and try and understand what the Heck is going on…

First Thoughts

Ah, this is so late…(as usual), so Sora apologizes profusely. Sora also promises to stop speaking in freakin’ THIRD TERM anymore now.

This episode had me hanging at the edge of my seat, screaming at the computer in awe, horror, fear, and most of all, anger. Not knowing what was going to really occur since details are a bit sketchy for me from between Ace’s death to around ch. 600, I had no warning for Whitebeard’s reaction, nor Luffy’s. It was shocking, really, seeing what occurred in this episode, especially with the surprise ending. Everyone’s reactions were wonderfully fitting, and overall it was an excellently depicted episode. This episode is dedicated to the idea of Overcoming Failure, as so many people are saddened that they failed at accomplishing something right now…then how they cope with the loss by lashing out at something/someone in terrible bursts. Quite exciting, no?

Anime: Special Retrospective Pre Marineford Arc- Episode 457

For soothless nights and stressless dreams, watch One Piece at OnePieceOfficial.com

First Thoughts

Hey y'all! Its my first Anime recap and I am pumped! Mikey shall be doing the manga recap for this week and hopefully the normal cast roles shall be restored pretty soon.

There wasn't anything too special or unique about this episode, its your standard recap filler episode but the fact that this recap is integral to the current situation and features some of the best arcs/episodes in the series so far but admittingly because of the fact that they placed full scenes of these makes the episode drag a little bit, but heck at least its GOOD filler.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 452

Shine! Because you can watch One Piece on OnePieceOfficial.com!

First Thoughts
Did I say last week was the last episode of the Impel Down arc? Meh...Forgot that an arc doesn't end until we have the party which was in this episode. Also it helps in the naming of the arcs for the blog post. haha Don't want to say this is part of Marineford then change the arc name for the post in the next anime post. Yay for laziness!

This was a good episode. It wasn't the super best episode that we have seen but the episode was good at what it was suppose to do. It was suppose to keep us entertain until we get to Marineford for whatever awesome will happen there. Though there was this one part in the episode that I know was too dragged out and I am sure everybody else notice it too.

Another thing about this episode is all the Pandaman that we got. It is usually hard to spot the black and white faced man but he was just all over the place. I am guessing the animators wanted to make up for all the times they may have forgotten about him or just wanted to go crazy with the Pandaman-ness.

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!

First Thoughts
I usually have trouble remembering the episode number. Still this week I had no problem with that since it was just a single number typed three times. So that is good. haha I now know that my memory isn't that bad. Yet...

What can I say about this episode right now? It was just so funny whenever we were focus on the antics of Luffy and the group he is with. I mean do I have to say it? Ivankov was one of the main reasons why I laughed so hard in this episode. Still we got a good round of cool things in this episode too like Buggy and Mr. 3 being cool. So it was a great episode overall.

Thoughts
The image above is the awesome image of the week. I was going to use this image in the body of the post but really it was just too awesome not to use it for the opening image. (Also I didn't want to repeat the opening image I had originally in the post itself)

Which the episode itself was just awesome! I mean the recap had basically most of what the last minute from from the episode before which I really enjoyed. Then the ball got rolling from there as we got more and more awesome to make this a great episode. I really want to say this was the best episode we got from Impel Down but I think I said that before. I am not sure. haha There is no words that I can use to describe this episode at the moment so let just go on to the next part of this post!
