It's competent. A bit on the grimdark at first but a show about prison with corrupt guards it doesn't bother me. But like I said it loses a lot of its power on the second half and becomes a pretty standard/average story to the point it's a bit of a bore to get through it. I can't recommend it over many other shows but if your backlog is going on empty then watch it. If you're fine with leaving shows half finished then even more as you could only watch the first half.
If you are willing to continue beyond the 400 episodes you'll be rewarded with some of what I find was the most consistently nice animation of it, in the form of the 'Impel Down Arc'. And search always for the Murad (@0XMURADX0) sanctioned goodness!
True for me as well, and precisely during the 'Alabasta Arc' and coinciding with

Yikes. Everyone working on movies for Ghibli must be operating under incredible pressure.
To be fair, it wasn't as dramatically assured as I probably implied on my previous post (after all The Borrower Arrietty was pretty successful) but it is something I'm lately reminded of after the recent developments on the studio and the very own pessimistic outlook from Mr. Miyazaki (totally normal coming from him though).
Go to sleep late wake up early for work. At work right now I just have free time as lab tests are going on and my office mates are going to meetings/answering emails. Interns ftw.
Are you talking about yourself? Because I'm in an internship not co-op. I wish I had more engineering stuff to do but a civil engineering student in an oil company can only do so much as an intern.
Nah just doing lab tests and helping out the test lab folks. Funny enough I'm graduating as a civil student but all my experience is in fluids and test running/simulations. Which is fine since my plan wasn't to go into the construction/design industry.
Aw, man, I meant pinnacle. But she isn't a pineapple, too.
While I don't completelty disagree I have to say
Materials I was interested in. But mainly when it came to construction as in designing concrete and asphalt. But to do what I wanted to do I would need to be a professor doing research or a lab worker for a company. At that point I ended up deciding go with this.
Wait I thought Gintama was your favorite.
One Piece 23-30
Still pretty slow but it was an improvement over previous arcs. I feel like the character design gets more ridiculous with every episode, that Wall Pearl guy. The feels at the end were a nice way to finish this arc. Will watch the next one after short break.
One thing I've been wondering, how does One piece fare in the Sakuga department compared to say, Naruto ? Better, worse ? Does it have episodes comparable to Naruto/ Shippuden 133, 167, 322 ?
