Anime: Friends' Whereabouts Arc- Episode 453

Don't howl alone at night! Just go to OnePieceOfficial.com to watch the latest episodes!

First Thoughts
You got to say that Toei Animation did a good job in creating a story on just two single paneled stories. These two things were based on just two panels so it is impressive that something was weaved out of them. Both were good in their own right as we saw that we got some information out of one of them and the other we just got some funnies. I would have liked more fanservice but we can't all win. Heck we didn't even get Bishonen Luffy! I wanted Bishonen Luffy! It could have been in the beginning when Jimbei was looking at Luffy. It would be a bit creepy coming from Jimbei but at least it is something.

Also some news related to the blog side and next week's anime post. Due to me being at AKon, things happening in real life, and my mental and physical well being after the con, we will be having a guest blogger to do next week's anime post. I am going to have a huge con hangover for sure when I get back from Akon and instead of forcing a possibility bad anime post I thought it be best to do this instead. Also I am going to try to get the AKon con report sooner then I did the AnimeMatsuri one so not doing the anime post may actually help speed things up. Same thing for the manga post next week too. So you guys are in for a treat since you won't have to deal with my post and actually get to read a post made by people better then me! haha

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.

One Piece More: Summer Love

I love Summer. It may be as hot as heck and makes people sweaty but I so prefer it over the cold winter. Also it is a time of the year where a person can relax and just do whatever they want. May it be small little side projects, doing summer school or just doing nothing. It is all your choice as in what to do during Summer vacation.

Though this summer I have been waiting for a long while now. A chance where I can finally relax and chill. Last two semesters of school has really been something for me then the last two summers I was busy with either Summer semester or an (awesome) internship. This summer is just me doing whatever I want. Not sure if that is a good thing but I am looking forward to whatever small projects I decide to undertake. One thing for sure is that I am going to have fun and hopefully not be bored! haha We just have to see.

Anime: Impel Down Arc- Episode 451

Us Americans can watch this first on OnePieceOfficial.com! 

First Thoughts
This episode wasn't dragged out but you could feel the padding a bit. Maybe it is because I know what is filler and what is not or maybe I am just being mean. Still it was a great episode. The episode was able to close up the arc yet set things up for the future in a nice way. Though at the end of the episode, the Impel Down arc is now close taking us to something that will be grander then what we have seen so far.

This episode also shown us something that we may have to watch out for later on. I didn't notice this before but it was really noticeable in this episode. It isn't a bad thing but something that will have to be resolved by the end of the series. Then again I could be be being mean again. haha

Well this 'First Thoughts' suck so I am going to shut up and get into the post now. haha
