This is another one of those "it's mentioned a few times throughout the series and we'll see what it means a few hundred chapters later".
Doc Flamingo after the auction house incident said it was the time for "smileys". His jolly roger(which Bellamy was under) is the first smiley jolly roger.
I'm not sure where Trafalgar Law plays into smilies though.

Doflamingo is a weird and yet totally awesome character.

You will catch up very quickly once they starts to run 8min flashbacks from the previous ep, and in that same ep you will be skipping flashbacks from 2-3 eps prior, OP doesn't have many fillers but they have so many time wasting eps it's rather annoying, OP needs a Kai version after it's done, once you finish croc arc get ready for a super ride of flashbacks and annoying BS.

Hey guys, I love the One Piece anime. I have pretty much every episode downloaded, but for some reason I stopped downloading them at the middle of Impel down and started reading the manga.
I really regret that, so I stopped reading the manga for almost 4 months now because I want to catch back up with the anime.
Is there a good place where I can download the episodes from with subtitles? Direct download like megaupload would be great, but torrents are ok too. I want to download them, not stream them, so the funi site isn't good for me.
Anyone use a good site?

Streaming from the funi site generates revenue for One Piece. It's one thing when a series isn't readily available (at cost or otherwise), it's an entirely different matter when you can support the anime at no cost to you. Stream from the website or buy the dvds when they become available.Mikey Jr. said:

I liked this episode, think I'm gonna actively enjoy watching the anime again from this point on, a few chapters I really enjoyed coming up soon.
Looks like they'll be showing the crew member now. Starting with Zorro and Chopper.
Finally got around to watching 500-505
What a great chunk of episodes to marathon. All very important to the story, extremely well animated, great pacing, very cool editing (inside Luffy's head in 505 was awesome) the music was spot on for the most part... and they were all very emotional. I'm certain that those voice actors were crying in the booth, there is no fucking way you can fake cry that convincingly. I'm thinking primarily of Ace after reading Sabo's letter ; _ ;

Finally the other Straw Hats, Zoro, Sanji!

The main with One Piece's pacing after water 7 is that the opening and recap lasts like 6 minutes. There is also a noticeable increase in the amount of staring, pointless running, or other filler scenes to increase time. The show went from a fast, tight 22-24 minutes of one piece awesomeness to 18 minutes of One piece - and a few minutes of that wasted on pointless filler shots.
What the could and should do is to eliminate those filler shots, get rid of excess recaps and opening sequences and combine episodes.
What they should do going forward is stop making episodes out of 1 chapter in the manga and make it out of 2-3 since there simply is not enough content in 1 chapter to make a whole episode

I also hope they stop with this 1 chapter per ep .
Do some filler eps during the
or make eps out of the cover pages.

At least they padded out Choppers section in this. I do not even recall in the manga mentioning how they he resolved the villagers and the birds dilemma. Robin looked odd animated. I enjoyed the Mihawk portion though, somehow even though I read it and know of Ace, it still stopped my heart when they all found out.

This whole intro + recap thing is getting ridiculous. What a massive waste of time...
Pretty much nothing in this episode was covered in the manga, including Mihawk's return. Everything in this episode was a "filling in the gaps" sort of thing.Dedication Through Light said:
Pretty good, too. I'm glad they contained it all to one episode. I was expecting them to do this, but I was afraid they might stretch it out more.
Next week seems to be back to the chapter that follows last week's episode.
Since it's semi-One Piece related, I'll bring this up.

I'd take full filler mode over anything else at this point. I can skip filler. I can't skip pointless extenders and filler in actual canon episodes.

I'm on a One Piece break. Not because I got tired of the series, I just became sick of the short episodes and long intros. Plus I wanted to have a whole batch of episodes to watch at once. Was hard in the beginning but i'm managing.
I've missed just over 100 episodes and i'll start watchin again when I have around 200-300. Tis gonna be sweet.

I hope they expand on that in the future episodes, or give an episode specifically to each Straw Hat.
I guess I'm two episodes behind, but in 504
Does this lend more credence to the theory that
Ivankov is calling for a doctor while talking to Dragon, while Dragon has no apparent injuries, right after he had returned from the Celestial Dragon ceremony.
Sabo really did survive? Dragon seems to have gone alone, and there would be no other reason for Ivankov to be so urgent in calling for a doctor. A lot of people dismissed Sabo as potentially being one of the other Supernovas (specifically X. Drake or Trafalgar Law) due to none of them being from East Blue. If Sabo survived, he might have ended up with amnesia or something, and Dragon either took him in or dropped him off on island in another ocean where he would remember nothing of his past life.

Excellent ep. OP has missed the rest of the crew A LOT. Sanji/Franky/Brook parts were hilarious. Also dat Robin. Also I always love revelations to other characters, in this case Ace's death to the crew because everyone's all like "OMG WTF?"
The Mihawk part was such obvious filler though with him walking for like 30 seconds. I don't like that type of filler...

What? That made the scene more epic, seeing the monkeys all staring blankly to take in what they were hearing to process it, to see Zoro just thinking about why they stopped, and I, to think of the commanding presence that Mihawk is demanding. It built up the anticipation for him well, for me, especially since we hadnt seen him in so long.

It's the Orochimaru walk 0.5 since it's shorter.

When OP is done, I would love to see a One Piece Kai version like with Dragonball Z.
The anime does a good job with what they have, but man, there is filler galore.
Constant flashbacks, sometimes a good 2 minute or more recap, and other stuff that is just like "Man, fucking get on with it" type shit. You could probably fit 2 full manga chapters worth of content into one episode, possibly 3 if they are light chapters.

Wow, finally watching more of the old episodes since Ive only seen the last 50 or so. I hope episode 47 is the lowest point in the series and that it only gets better from here. The only filler episode of any anime Ive seen where Ive just wanted to not even watch it. Only Captn Buggys appearance and trio take down of the bearpaw tribe was the only good part, and that was like the last three minutes or so. Wow and the second opening sounds like something out of DDR...
