I watch the anime exclusively even though I have easy access to the manga. IMO, the anime's just better. Great voice acting and great animation. I mean, the Luffy vs Lucci fight and the Luffy vs Oz fight may have looked ok in the manga, but seeing it animated isn't exactly the same thing.RagnarokX said:But the same amount of material in a chapter is just stretched out into an episode. It makes it seem much slower than it needs to be. You could get the same effect by just reading each chapter very slowly

The only One Piece opening I don't particularly like is "We Are" (which most people consider to be the best). One Piece has amazing openings. But yeah, this one is really long.

Absolutely.Himuro said:You don't like We Are?!
i fucking HATE One Piece fansubbers. Now they won't even translate the fruit names. I'm watching ep 399 and this group subs this,"Monkey D. Luffy with the power of the gomu gomu no mi..." with a translators note at the top "Gomu gomu no mi = Gum Gum Fruit". I could kinda deal with Kaizoku's weeaboo-isms by making stuff like nakama and fruit names like Gum Gum retain their Japanese names but this is the last fucking straw
a;sdjf;asdfja;sdfj;asdf;asdfj
I have One Piece bootlegs from China that have horrible English. Character names are completely wrong: Luffy is Roof, Sanji is Sunkist, Helmeppo is Belmayber;etc. It's like, I can't EVER get good subtitles or translations for One Piece. Even the official dvds are awful and full of weeaboo claptrap instead of fully translating the got damn dialogue.
I miss out of what the hell they are saying because they don't translate some words they think is "IMPORTANT" to be left alone.
I mean come on not everybody who watches these are Otakus, most aren't.
I kinda liked nakama because if he kept going "THE POWER OF FRIENDSHIP" it woulda sounded cheesy. This has the "I have no clue what he's saying so that's cool" thing that people like in their jRPGs.
I don't even know what fansubs you're using though. I wish a group did it consistently. I'm pretty sure I've gone through at least 8...
Also, I like the newest opening. The best was the one right after Skypeia though. Love it so much.

Ah yeah. Comrade would have been perfect actually. Ah well, I guess that's why we have professional localizers. What does Funimation use? I wish they had plans to release a larger pack of episodes for a cheaper price Although they probably do. I just found out they released FMA as 2 boxed seasons. When I bought it it was 2 seasons of 2 boxes each. Before that it was the standard 13 volume set...

Outside of them, there's maybe one or two more that are at least competent (like KubuSubs and Vegapunk though they're waay behind in subs and practically dead). Still, I feel your pain. I've seen all 400 and a lot of the subbing is just downright lazy. My standards have been lowered so much, if I can at least tell what's going on, I'm happy.Himuro said:
Edit: FYI, I don't think 720p episodes existed before 294.
I think much of it has to do with how long it takes to get started. Bleach's first episode is pretty good. It's later on that it becomes total shit. Naruto is good by around episode 4 and really good by around 12. And then of course it takes a dive into the pits of hell itself. One Piece on the other hand starts out horrible for about 30 episodes before becoming absolutely insane forever (except skypeia but hey some of you like it).
Although now my friends' arguments against starting it is "400 episodes holy shit"

I love a lot of them actually. Once it's all over I'd love to watch the series all over again start to finish but it's so damn long :lol Maybe once it's over I'll just read the manga.

"Friend". The problem with comrade is that it has military and political connotations that wouldn't be appropriate.
That and the 6th opening tend to be people's favorites.Firestorm said:

I'm not a big OP anime watcher (prefer the pace of the manga), but I was looking forward to easily being able watch the upcoming arc. I checked the One Piece site today and came across this:

WTF but they should just still release it. I mean now all they did was make me search google for the video which is online now........
Rather than watching it on their site.
DemonSwordsman said:
Funimation probably would, but Toei and the other Japanese studios involved with One Piece's broadcast in Japan have prevented them from doing so. These studios don't want Japanese viewers being able to watch new episodes online before they even air in Japan (which was the case with episode 403), so until Funimation fixes the "leak", Toei and co. won't allow them to air more episodes online.
Also, as stated in the manga topic, the leak was actually on Funimation's part. Apparently all the perpetrators did was change the number for a direct link to an old One Piece episode to 403 and downloaded it directly from Funimation's site.
Right, but as has been pointed out, I doubt Funimation has a say in the matter, if they want to keep releasing the show in the future.DemonSwordsman said:
Sure maybe they were partly at fault for dumb (lack of) security, but they're not the ones who released it early. It's some asshole on the interwebs.

Well if they actually uploaded an episode before hand with the link then that is just stupid.
Besides JUST saw 403. NEED 404 RIGHT NOW!!!

It's probably just a change in art style or something. Either that, or the editors pressured Oda into making them bigger.

I think I'm just going to have to start up the manga again. I don't want to wait until July for it to pick up again. :lol
Watching 404 soon. Yibis just put it up I believe. And I do have to agree with these fansubbers putting there stupid notes at the top. I'm fine with Nakama and Gomu Gomu but that's about it. If Zoro's doing one of his moves, just right 36 pound cannon. I don't need that much Japanese in my English sub. :lol
I don't want to start seeing it this bad.

Man this show. Aokiji aside, this is really the only time the strawhats have been faced with a categorically insurmountable scenario. They were always able to just TRY REALLY HARD and overcome basically anything. Now they haven't even set more than a toe into the New World and they are literally ants.
I love how while One Piece does have the normal "series of enemies of increasing strength" to drive the plot along, we get glimpses at entire subsets of people that categorically outclass everyone in the bulk of the show. Shanks and Whitebeard, Mihawk, the Admirals, etc. Luffy and co are havin their fun time adventures and thinking they're all hot shit but man we know better. This is really the first time those two worlds have significantly overlapped, and it is not pretty!
Shit be CRAZY GOD DAMN.

I've already watched 404 twice and will probably watch it 3 or 4 more times before next week. Great, great stuff. The Strawhats are being obliterated and next week looks like they're done for.
Like Tath said, they haven't even reached the New World yet and they're being decimated. They'll all have to become MUCH more powerful/confident if they want to have any chance at all. With Admirals like Aokiji and Kizaru, the 7 Warlords, and the Yonkou, I wouldn't be surprised if one of them dies at some point in the next year or so.
