First Thoughts
Sora here; I will be doing this week’s episode because Mikey and I are trying to set up some sort of rotation here with who will be doing the anime, and so my time landed on this week. Enjoy.
I was hopeful that this episode would be good, to make up for half of last week’s episode. Yes, it is of course Sanji’s fateful and terrifying encounter. But enough ranting about that already, everyone has heard far more of that then could be possibly said in a thousand years by now.
Well, I was worried about this episode, for a couple of reasons. First off, because Usopp’s part doesn’t look all that great to me. That Heracles dude freaks me out and is irritating, and I wasn’t looking forward to Usopp getting comically fat. The main reason for my hesitation with this episode was, of course, my issue with this style of animation. It is so cheap, it is disgraceful towards the good name of One Piece.
I was looking forward to seeing Robin’s part though, that looked very interesting and useful to me. Even with the bad animation, it still was high on my list of things to see. Of course, that is because Robin is my favorite character, for obvious reasons related to her vast collection of knowledge and how strong of a character she is.
