Well to be fair they are both annoying guys that don't know when to quit .
Yeah, I'm pretty much with you there. We're getting to the point where it's either a serious dose of filler or the series takes a year off (which just isn't going to happen, since filler is still episodes that can be sold). I don't know how close we are right now, but I suspect it's very close.

Yay for news about fillers! It's been long overdue for One Piece. I just hope it is long enough so that we have better pacing once it goes back to canon.
A few things of note this episode. 1) Luffy and the Straw Hats did not destroy Fishmen Island like Madame Shirley predicted... yet... They left open the possibility of it happening in the future, but considering that Noah seems so significant, Fishmen Island will most likely be destroyed in the future and the citizens will evacuate on Noah to their new home. Well, that's one way Luffy can keep his promise to Shirahoshi. 2) Of those that promised with Luffy to take Shirahoshi further out to see the world above the sea, Zoro and Frankie did not. Most notably, Zoro did not, since Franky did give an air pinky. I wonder if that will play a significant role in the future, or if it is some sort of foreshadowing. 3) Robin's dress is so hot! At some point, the Marines or one of the bad Emperors will find out that Shirahoshi is an ancient weapon, which would probably lead to an all out war with Fishmen Island. I'm guessing Luffy and company will find a way to help out, and I'm guessing the Revolutionaries will have a role to play as well. Alright, one more episode, and bring on the fillers! Since the new movie will be out on December 15, that means that there can only be 2 or 3 fillers max that leads up to the movie. I hope they planned a filler arc after that.

thought it was excellent that zoro just stood there looking cool and badass instead of doing the pinky promise.
Any episode with Moss head Kun & Nose Bleed Kun teasing each other is welcome. Ussop and Chopper depressed was hilarious. Seeing both flashbacks to shanks giving Luffy the straw hat and what Ace told Luffy about his dream always make me tear up a bit, I'm man enough to admit it....are you?

What a great way to end their visit to Fishman Island.
I teared up a bit when they made the pinky promise. As mentioned by others, Zoro did look cool not doing the pinky promise. Shirahoshi played a great part in their journey without a doubt. Hope they can make her dreams and the fishmen's dreams true. When Zoro and Sanji were bickering, Ussop and Chopper were depressed, Nami scolding Luffy as usual, Robin laughing at them, Brook plays his violin and Franky readying for their next adventure....(a mouthful..I know) I was like, " Welcome Back Strawhat Pirates. Welcome Back. " I wonder what the next island will be like. Can't wait for the movie either.

I am curious how to see how this all ties back to Fishman island down the road. The promise with Shirahoshi, the prediction of the destruction of Fishman island, Noah, the fact that Shirahoshi's secret is likely to get leaked, etc. Clearly we'll be dealing with this island again.
It is good to have this crew back together. The bickering, laughing, and occasional panicking. All good and I'm looking forward to seeing anything this group does going forward.

It's episodes/chapters like this that make One Piece the jewel that it is! Episodes/chapters where the adventure aspect that started this series is in full view...the crew interactions, the new lands, the new creatures, the comedy, the music...even the nicely placed SHORT flashbacks!
I haven't enjoyed a OP episode like this in a while. |

Finally heading to the New World.
Nami's shower was really nice. Luffy's appetite really has no bounds ^^ Chopper was cute as ever trying to catch that cloud. That Whitestrom was a bumpy ride. It was nice seeing memories of Laboon again. This sure was a fun episode to watch.

an okay episode very drawn out but thats probably due to the impending but well needed fillers coming up, slowing down the pace is to be expected.
Chopper being cute with nami & the cloud in the bathroom was cute as hell. Finally the Straw hats reach the new world....only took over 10 years.

Really glad we have a filler arc for once. It allows me to actually discuss something new since I'm a manga reader.~
Hmmmm, I'm surprised to see a devil fruit being re-used for the first time. Though I guess the Mini Mini Fruit originally wasn't canon so I suppose it can be forgiven. Still, Luffy sure has found a kindred food-loving spirit for once. Lily's also the first giantess we've seen in One Piece too. Looking forward to the rest of this filler arc. Z's Neo Marines organization has me intrigued. It's too bad the movie won't be subbed until several months after it's theatre debut.

The weather condition sure were ill-tempered ^^"
This new world is totally crazy! I'm glad a new arc finally started. I was sick of that fisman arc. The size changing glutton girl gave them a lot of trouble. Lily beside being a glutton was really strong and a crybaby. At least Luffy now has someone to share his love for food with.

Damn...damn...damn...damn...damn...damn...
I am so pissed off right now...not because I don't like the filler, I really think it'll be a fun and interesting tie-in with the new movie. The reason I'm pissed is that Lily is a filler character...but I want her to join the crew already. Goddamn whoever came up with her (I'm guessing Oda) and put her as a filler character with no chance of joining. She's exactly the kind of character I always wanted to join the crew next...AND SHE'S A FILLER!!! DAMMIT! |
