Since a few episodes have aired, how is everyone enjoying the Egghead arc so far?

I like the visuals and the general story direction is ok.

But geeze. I think Gear 5 might have truly broken me. I'd take rewatching Luffy vs Lucci on Enies Lobby 1000 times before rewatching this fight even once. I just can't with Gear 5. Obviously this is what Oda wanted to do and it's way he wants Luffy to be now. But it's just too awkward watching this cartoon fighting people. This might be the first time a single transformation has derailed my interest in a series this badly . In that respect it's kind of amazing.

Honestly don't even really like Lucci's awakened form. Goes way too insane in his own right. But at least he's still somewhat interesting to watch.

Oh well. Guess we'll see how the escape from Egghead goes. Probably won't be easy. But maybe it will be since Gear 5 is ridiculous.
