Anime: Fishman Island Arc - Episode 554

New anime, only at OnePieceOfficial.com. Be there, or be square, like Franky’s biceps.

First Thoughts

It is very exciting to see the first animated post-time skip fight.  Not only will the crew be able to truly show off their superior abilities, but Hody’s little declaration will not endear him to Luffy.

On a personal note, I have decided to read from chapter 610 through the current chapter in the manga. For this review however, I stopped reading when I reached the events of this episode. I am very excited to see the result of the several surprises I’ve read today, and animated to boot!

First Thoughts

Well, I must say that I loved it. It was a great follow-up from last week’s drama-filled action-turning episode too. There were still serious moments, yet way more “funny” than last week. The discovery of just Why they were falling from the sky…oh man, that is definitely unexpected! I liked how they implemented all of the stuff happening in the battle while showing at the same time what was happening on Luffy’s end. It was all really well played on their parts.

However, the whole episode, not just parts is what made this episode grand. Comedy, more drama, surprises, shock, exhilaration, changing alliances, wicked Awesome powers, and more all created a beautiful display much more than just an explanatory episode.
