Gear Four is officially the weirdest gear of them all.

I laughed so hard and thought One Piece was trolling.

I got pissed off when Doflamingo enabled his counter attack LOL. Will this fight end already?

We all know Luffy will win in the end, why string it on any longer?

thundrakkon · 2016-01-24, 10:50

LOL yep. All I can think about was, "When will this arc end?!?!" Anything that can be epic is no longer epic when they stretch the epicness to nothing. My friends have mostly stopped watching One Piece already.

Gilly · 2016-01-25, 05:06

How did they manage to make this episode so unexciting?

How long were your friends into One Piece exactly? It's been like this since the WhiteBeard War arc I believe, I remember back than fans were complaining about the pacing and awful Animation too.

Man, how worse can the Animation quality get right now? They could at least save enough budget for the best parts. Are they saving up for the film or some thing?

I was checking to see what part One Piece Anime was at by now, I'm basically waiting till this arc is over and am going to watch from start to finish when it's over. It's almost towards the end, why Toei keeps stretching it out this much is beyond me right now.

My friends mostly started watching One Piece near the beginning. The slowly stopped watching along the way, with the last stragglers stop watching probably around the New World arcs. They do continue to read the manga weekly, though.

It really started dragging since Impel Down, and Marineford was just painful to watch. The payoff for Marineford was that the bad guys won and the goal was not reached, so it was doubly painful to go through. So I can understand why people dropped it from that point on, even if some manga readers praised that arc.

Dude, think about how close the anime is to the manga right now. Toei has to drag out the content otherwise the anime would eventually overtake the manga.

There are 2 solutions to this:

1) Do long filler arcs so that there's enough manga content ahead to not catch up so easily and thus allow for much better pacing.

2) Go on hiatus and come back once the manga has gotten far enough ahead.

Toei doesn't seem to want to do either of those, so the result is poorly paced episodes with lots of filler mixed into the canon material.

And there's no reason for Toei to consistently use a higher budget since they know people will accept whatever they feed them (even if it's crap).

Well, sh*t. Luffy ran out of juice and can't stand, and as if Doflamingo wasn't enough, now Burgess will try to kill him, too. This marks the end of One Piece!

FlareKnight · 2016-01-31, 12:48

This was one of the most padded ones I've seen in a while. Took 7 minutes for the episode to really start. Plus no reason Luffy couldn't have won this episode. Then took around 7 minutes after he hit Doflamingo to actually run out of gas. During the extremely long reaction shots and him bouncing around before deciding to move he had tons of time.

Oh well. Guess it's up to Sabo to clean up Luffy's mess here.

thundrakkon · 2016-01-31, 17:44

The thing that I kept thinking throughout the whole episode was, where the heck was Sabo and Admiral Issho? Doflamingo and Luffy are now bouncing around in the city, and if Doflamingo is not stopped, then everyone dies. Of course, they had cameos near the end of the episode, but they really should have acted sooner.

I agree, if this was real life, Sabo and Admiral Ishoo wouldn't just sit there and do nothing haha.

Yeah, I get in general why they want Luffy to deal with the issue (sort of). But seriously they all die if Doflamingo isn't stopped.

Is Issho fine with his subordinates dying here? Is Sabo cool if all these people get killed? I mean sure they will probably be fine. Can just stand right next to Doflamingo and be safe. He probably can't take them out.

The setup worked fine in Alabasta since no one was in a good position to go after Crocodile. There wasn't anyone that powerful hanging around the capital at that point. It was Luffy or bust. But...there are options here.

No episode this week because the broadcast in Japan was interrupted by a rocket from North Korea. Awesome.

A surprisingly solid episode. Even though it was 90% about stopping the Birdcage, the endless tension made it really enjoyable. But man, Rebecca is stupid. She couldn't even lay a finger on Diamante, so what made her think she'd be able to kill Doflamingo?

As long as the dome stands Doflamingo is still alive enough. And now Luffy ran out of strength... not good. Isn't there anything to kill this guy?!
