I'm liking what I'm hearing, and still enjoying the show, but I'm very busy on just about most days. Therefore, I'm intending to try and skip the fillers for the show unless someone recommends a filler arc as particularly good. Anyone know where I can find an episode list for the fillers so I can hop over?

I'd honestly recommend just skipping all filler. Some are entertaining enough, but when you're tackling a 500+ episode series, it's not necessary.

if she wants to master the weather she will need one of those
not like they have any lifesavers or lifejackets on board!

All they have is Sanji, really. The whole damn Strawhat crew would drown if he didn't fish them out periodically. :P

Mmm... I dunno. I feel like the crew is getting too big as it is. I'd honestly prefer they recruit no one. I want the lion's share of the fight scenes limited to the monster trio (Usopp is pretty funny, though). Another girl might be interesting, however.

Right? They don't need a damn lord of sea to join their crew. Their inherent charm is that they're newbies and are out to conquer what was once the domain of the old generation. :(

But they're young and fresh and not established yet. All up-and-comers ready to take out the old guard. I like that theme.

He's but one of the old guard. The old establishment isn't going to give any ground, especially the navy. Going to be a fun ride to the end. I love this series so much.

There's nothing young or fresh about Brook.


But really I think Jimbei would be a good addition to the crew. Recent episodes only highlight how badly they need another person to rescue drowning DF users and a fishaman would be perfect for the job. I doubt he'd break into the monster trio either, probably being more comparable to Franky in terms of power. His talents as a helmsman wouldn't go amiss either.

Brook is definitely not 'fresh' except in terms of his role in the new world. He was out in the middle of nowhere for decades so he never played a role in the current scene, so in sense he's as green as the rest of the strawhats. As for Jinbei, they already established that he's pretty powerful (definitely more than Franky). I don't know how'd he'd rank up against the monster trio where they are now, but it feels unbalanced to have such another good fighter in the ranks. A recorder (to transcribe their adventures) might make a nice fit to the crew. Someone clever and not a fighter would add an interesting twist.

I'd disagree with these two fillers though:

196-206
213-216

G-8's pretty damn good and the Foxy stuff might be confusing if you skip the middle filler part of it so might as well power through it.

There was just one true "filler arc"? Seems way less numerous than I originally thought or at least in comparision to the other battle anime. One might as well just watch them instead of skipping two and three episodes here and there.

Yes, Foxy is kind of unavoidable. Of course that's pretty much the only arc in the series I would consider "canon filler" as it had absolutely no effect on the overarching plot, at least not yet (unless you count the one time Luffy recalls it when meeting Hancock).

I do like G8, but I still don't think I'd recommend it to people just starting out.

[Vincent Alexander]

Episode 30 done. Don Kreig story over. Sanji just joined the crew. I'm hoping the show is at a point now where it'll start to take off. This feels like it should be the end of the beginning of the show. From here on out, I'm hoping for more structure and plot. The show is still decent, but it has lost it's intrigue as a new show for me, and it's time to dig in and really hook me.

Well you are approaching the arc when everyone says the show really takes off, so....

[Vincent Alexander]

I'm really liking Arlong Park, but I just hit a moment that ruined a great backstory for me...Bellemere admitting she has a family and getting herself killed. I can't believe the writers were willing to sacrifice a character's intelligence for something so stupid. It wasn't emotionally touching at all, though I think that was the intent.

Irriting when Luffy sometimes loses all common sense as well. He walks up to Nami after she carries Nojiko (just shot) into town and she yells at him, tosses him to the side and runs off. Next scene of him, he walks bak to a tree, sits, and ponders whats wrong with her. Never mind he was just a foot away from a woman shot in the back, bleeding out in front of him, whom Nami just brouht into town.

Should I be spoiler marking things this old?

[Pie and Beans]

Emotional payoff of the end of Arlong Park is all worth it, one of the biggest most memorable moments in the shows history. But you seem to be nitpicking weird stuff already, so maybe that won't be the case for you? Bellmere would rather die, confessing that she actually has a family than lie and deny the existence of her two adopted daughters that already have massive abandonment issues and could be listening in from anywhere. They became her responsibility, and the Fishman Pirates are real goddam monsters patrolling the island could find them at any point. If they didn't 'belong' to anyone, what would happen to them?

Oh and its writer, singular. One dude writes all of this, as is the case with manga. Anime editors of course get to show how its depicted and adapted, but the story is (other than filler) all Oda.

No need to mark spoilers. Also, no need to think about Luffy ever having any sort of common sense.

I'm not liking the new Fishmen crew. Jones seems like a lame lead villain. Arlong's crew was more interesting and, to me, a better villain group. Also, steroids? Really?

[Maleficence]

I'm liking what I've seen of the art and animation for this arc, it seems a step up from some rather poor previous efforts, looking forward to seeing it :)

[GDJustin]

Started the series over again after literally years off from it. I didn't want to, but I couldn't even remember where I stopped (somewhere just after Water7 I think?), so I was kinda forced.

Just finished Arabasta and man... Vivi's voice actress is all kinds of annoying, isn't she? Her whispering "...Leader" and then alternately shouting "KOOOHZAAAA!" almost made me give up.

In fact it's not just the voice... her whole character is kind of a buzzkill. The Strawhats are all laid back and she's always extremely worried about everything.

Very glad to be moving on to Skypeia... although I remember the back half of that arc being very drawn out too, just like Alabasta.

I enjoyed when Luffy called out on Neptune saying jamon jamon jamon neptune or something. As well as his loitering around the palace. Luffy looked so happy. Otherwise felt pretty slow paced. Weakyhoshi!

There's always something you can in your life, isn't it? Today I have learned some French vocabulary and found out that belle-mère is French for step-mother. I know mère is French for mother, but still surprises me.

All I can say is One Piece's Belle-Mère is best belle-mère.

[789shadow]

I think Megalo just stole the arc from Sanji.

Zoro had the most epic entrance to the party wow, actually jumped in praise.

I didnt know Decken had four legs.

Yeah that was a badass entrance. Reminded me of an old entrance that i love
