Yeah that was so :heh:.

Loved how the anime handled the flashback with Rouge, and Yuko Minaguchi did a nice job of voicing her even with only a few lines.

The epic shall truly begin next week.

They just had to to go and add that hallelujah or whatever it's called music for Buggy's "miracle". They really know how to work up the epicness. Next week, serious asskicking is coming.

It's Beethoven's 9th symphony (Ode to joy). It was totally fitting for this scene, Buggy is so hilarious :heh:

That was a nice episode, I enjoyed the flashback. The marines are extreme, killing all those women just because they suspected them of bearing Roger's child...

So this is like the sixth week of stalling, OP is as slow as Bleach right now. I just want to see the war start already.

I enjoyed the episode, but yeah, can't wait for the main event to begin :D

Looks like another flashback episode next week on ace's past.

Well to be fair the series has mostly just shown these guys getting owned badly. I can't help remembering these guys as speed-bumps for the characters. They might be the best available, but can't have high expectations for them.

Yeah but so far in the series we've mainly seen the regular marines....cannon fodder, but here they have assembled the best, all the vice admirals and high ranking offciers including the strongest of teh regular marines. I'd wager a fair few of them will put up a good fight.

The One Piece anime being slow as hell isn't anything new, unfortunately. It does feel like it's gotten a bit worse lately though. It was a bit silly to reuse a scene from the previous opening in the last episode... they should find more creative ways to stall. At least it's still nowhere as silly as Bleach pretty much reairing a past episode as a flashback, so it's ok. I just hope the pace of the war won't be too slow or it'll ruing the tension.

460 is what chapter in the manga?

This opening is unbelievable melodic.

After I've been awai for nearly 200 Episodes and waited till this arc begins and think and hope One Piece will mature now.

Well we're inching closer to the fight though it seems like we'll go through one more flashback before it gets going. I only wonder who opened up the gate for Luffy and company?

We're not supposed to know that yet.

Yea, I was just speculating : S

Well I'll throw my speculation out there since I really don't have any idea.

Spoiler for Gate Speculation:

Episode 461 covers the flashback of how Ace joined Whitebeard, and how he ends up going after Blackbeard. Pretty decent episode overall with some good music placement, though i can just already see the people who're gonna post saying they just want this damn war to start already. :p

Spoiler for Speculation on who opened the gate:

Now, I just realized something. We saw the short pieces involving the rest of the crew. It is quite astonishing thinking that, there is a huge war going on and they are no where to be found. I wonder what will happen or how they would react when they realize what was happening that second. Oh, and does Pops' laugh bug anyone else. I was hoping it would be louder and more epic. Like something everyone would hear. As if a giant was laughing. I was a little disappointed, but besides that. Seeing those ships appear and then him walking up. Well yeah, I am sure all those marines just pissed their pants.

Whitebeard's voice kind of sucks. In my mind I thought he would sound like Charles Vi Brittania (Norio Wakamoto). He's an old dude who's extremely powerful and feared by the WG and he sounds goofy. Like a teenager trying to sound like an old man.

Charles VA would rock here

and Michael Ironside for english hehe:eyespin:

Personally i find Arimoto Kinryuu to be a perfect fit for Whitebeard. He has that old yet powerful voice, which you need for such a character.

I'm fine with his voice, what bothers me is his laugh. It's completely different from what I imagined... It sounds like he's mumbling rather than laughing. It's so odd.
