I'm somebody who doesn't even watch the preview of the next episode. I watch my weekly episode and discuss it here sometimes to avoid these things.

I'm not expecting much from this special. Looking forward to the new opening though.

The new opening is fantastic, just wish it had subtitles. The actual fight was really good but 80% of the first episode is flashbacks.

How many times can we reuse the scene of Luffy telling Sanji to become his cook the special

No but seriously they must have used that exact same scene at LEAST 5 or 6 times, sometimes within a few minutes of the last use

I'm extremely intrigued by what Brook is doing in the opening. I somewhat know what Brook does this arc from reading the manga thread but I have 0 idea when he summons that giant spirit/ghost thing.

I loved the tease of Big Mom's crew in the opening. I'm assuming the first two are the other Sweet Generals. I also love the blonde guy that looks like Franky for some reason.
Second episode was good but I have no idea why this needed to be considered a special to begin with. The first episode was pure padding and could have been cut completely and you wouldn't miss anything. Also, they played the eyecatches like 3 different times in both episodes.

Liked the new song, only thing of note for the first episode 
the anime is getting butchered even more now, they made two mistakes:
- The first one is to not have taken months before launching the new world arc when they had the opportunity with the two years gap.
- not having enough fillers, I hate fillers but because they're so close to the manga, they should have created something maybe with the author to let the manga take a huge advance, dragging every episodes like that made it awful... seriously when your episode has more reused flashback than new content, you know you need to do something about it.
But I have to admit this was such a great episode, no matter how many times I think the Toei has been butchering the anime and that the manga is probably better, There is something surreal and amazing when scenes can pull on your heart strings and make you cry like a baby, Luffy is awesome, his Seiyū is too, I can wait for the next episode.

I rather have a long filler arc before a new one than have a non-filler arc stretched out like they have been.
This special also made me realize I care way more about One Piece than Dragonball Super. I watch them both every week (I start Dragonball Super so once it ends One Piece just pops up) and I really haven't missed Dragonball Super, but I'm dying that there's no One Piece episode this week. I'm still hyped about the new opening and trying to not make a long post about it.

That's probably because Super is garbage.

Just rewatched the Luffy vs Usopp episode. It had basically the same amount of flashbacks as 808 did, including somewhat showing the same scene 3 times. I preferred it over the Luffy vs Sanji fight mainly because Usopp has a much more interesting arsenal when he has time to prepare.

Felt like this episode was half a chapter but there's been worse paced episodes in this arc and the dinner scene was entertaining.

Thats because it was literally half a chapter lol
It was a bit more then half but yeah next episode if it ends where I think it will would be less then half a chapter.

Someone on the one piece staff really keeps wanting to make this a musical.
To be fair they were singing in the manga chapter too.
