I am seriously getting excited for this story arc! Throughout the years we heard bits and pieces about Dr. Vegapunk being mentioned and i always assumed it was a guy because of the Dr. in front of the name. Not once did it occur to me that it might have been a girl! With the writer of One Piece being Oda i guess i should not have assumed so much :laughing: I am very interested in seeing how Franky will react to her! Should we expect a love triangle to form between Franky, Sanji and Dr. Vegapunk? :thinking:
I did not like the "Looney Tunes" action we saw with the eyes as they threw punches. Also the fight when Kaido threw that death beam was a bit hard to follow.
Not sure what i was hoping for, its just the art style and the way the fight went so far was not what i was expecting. Hopefully next week will be better....
Update from their main website https://one-piece.com
Due to a system failure caused by unauthorized access by a third party to Toei Animation, which is producing this work, it was partially difficult to produce the work, but it is now
possible to resume the new broadcast. I will inform you.Broadcasting of the new episode will resume on Sunday, April 17th.
Seems that someone hacked into their servers and tried to hold all their data hostage (who would do such a thing towards One Piece?? coldless bastards... :cry:) unless they paid bitcoins probably.
Hopefully after tomorrow they will be back on track with on of the greatest (litterally in running time and number of episodes, and figurately in story and character development) anime of all times!
Edit: i already asked for a refresh on trakt, but it takes a while before that goes through. “patience is a virtue” :wink:
Goddamn.... This was one hell of an episode. A+++!
Glad to see that even after 20 years this anime still manages to keep me on the edge of my seat and is fully capable to captivate me and makes me yearn for more. Keep those episodes coming for another 20 years! :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
What an amazing episode this was! i cannot wait until next week, i have a feeling it will be a truly memorable fight! :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :smile:
Just heard that Stephen Hillenburg (the creator of Spongebob Squarepants) has died of ALS at the age of 57.
He is swimming with the fishes now. (considering his former occupation, Marine Biologist and his children cartoon tv show about marine life under the sea i feel that this is something he might like :) )
RIP. May his spirit live on in one of the best tv shows suited for both children and adults for many more years to come.
This episode right here. This is the reason i watch this anime now for close to 15 years. The emotion i felt in this episode was enough to make me weep. Something i rarely do for tv shows, and especially for anime, but One Piece has managed to do it several times now for me throughout the years.
Leonardo DiCaprio, Brad Pitt, Dakota Fanning, Tim Roth & Al Pacino all in one movie directed by Quentin Tarantino? This is gonna be good......
Goddamn that ending.... They sure know how to keep us in suspense until the next episode :O
Awwww, that is too bad. I was kinda hoping that Pudding would flee from Big Mama and would be the newest addition to the Strawhat Crew, and that both Sanji and Pudding would live as a happy couple aboard the Thousand Sunny. But with the events that happened in this episode that seems almost impossible :'(
Unless (and this is just pure speculation, i have not read the manga) Pudding her third eye is like a second personality, that takes control of Pudding and does and says things she does not want. But that seems even for One Piece a bit far-fetched.....
It does not happen often these days that an anime, or any tv show for that matter manages to get such a tight grip on me. But Made in Abyss manages to do it with flying colors.
For me Made in Abyss is the complete package. The story is captivating, the characters are very likeable, the music is perfect for setting the overall feeling you are supposed to get, and above all, that feeling for wanting to experience the unknown, to venture out into the debts of the abyss (no pun intended) and that feeling you get when watching this anime in your underbelly of yearning for something more, and to press on, no matter the consequences or the dangers is in my opinion one of the absolute cornerstones of this anime that makes this a masterpiece!
The story starts off very innocent and cute. And from the first few episodes you might think that this anime might be just a light anime because of how young the children are, with some comic relief. But if you keep watching that you will see that with every episode as Rico and Reg go deeper into the Abyss the story gets more darker and more disturbing.
To be frank, i did not fully understand when Rico and Reg said goodbye to their friends in episode 3 that goodbye really meant farewell forever. But as you can see in the later episodes (at the very least for Rico) there is no coming back alive once you go down the Abyss deep enough. In my opinion that makes Rico her fortitude and resolve to venture into the unknown, and leave everything and everyone she loves and knows behind even more daring and captivating.
I really REALLY hope that this anime gets a second season. Because this anime is the very reason i watch anime in the first place. I can wholeheartedly recommend this anime to anyone. Trust me, you will not regret it.
I just watched the opening credits and HOLY CRAP! This seriously looks very interesting!
Not only because its based on one of my favorite childhood tv shows, but also because at the same time its not a complete 1-on-1 copy of the tv show from the late 80ties. The characters seem much more refined.
For example in the original Huey, Dewey, and Louie were 3 exact copies of each other, with acting in the same way, often all talking in choir saying the same things, and wearing the same outfits. But if you look closely to the opening credits you can see that they all 3 have very distinct expressions and actions to different situations.
I also liked the many references to the old comic books, like for example the flying ship in the sky https://www.youtu.be/YKSU82afy1w?t=27s , which is in fact a famous story and painting made by Carl Barks (who is responsible for pretty much inventing every character in the Duck-universe) called the Flying Dutchmen www.i.imgur.com/aCiKP8q.jpg.
I love the attention of detail the opening credits have and how much information they managed to get into that 1 minute and 12 seconds. I will definitely be looking out for this one, and i can already recommend this show to anyone young and old.
What the hell? I was expecting a better ending after 8 years than this.... This (especially those last 10 seconds) felt very rushed in, just to give the show a "proper" (which it most definitely was not) ending. :(
'Dunpeal Hunter mutters Japanese curse words under his breath...' Just found out that One Piece will not be airing today, but instead next week because of 2016 Nagoya Women’s Marathon (sigh... really? I mean they could have seen this coming months ahead, i doubt that this Marathon just "popped" in and they quickly had to make room so they had no choice but postpone one of the most popular anime's in Japan and the world).

I like this episode. Especially the ending seemed like a nice stab towards Donald Duck (aka Trump) and his anti-immigrantion rants... :)
Great episode! I very much enjoyed the comic book style they went with. I hope we get to see more of that in future episodes.
I like the fact that we got to see another side of Sands, besides the whole mercenary for hire deal. I kinda half expected that he made up that story about Anastacia just to get Brian off his back, until i saw that the FBI child kidnapping case and that business with Sands were connected.
I very much hope we get to see more of these kind of episodes! In my opinion they can turn down the comedy a few notches and add a little bit more mystery and drama to the show.
I don't see how an anime about pirates could have anything to do with a rocket launch from a dictatorship....
Seems like a weak excuse to buy more time to finish the latest manga issue of One Piece, so that the Anime doesn't get too far ahead....
Holy crap, i never thought i would (sorta) see it, Sheldon actually has "coitus" with a real life girl.... :P
Excellent episode! The implications, consequences and the complexity of everything combined were perfectly interwoven into this episode. This tv show is really getting on steam, and we are not even on half the season. A++!
Absolutely amazing movie! Everything about this movie was just right. The jokes, the story, the characters, what a perfect 94 minutes those were. I loved every single minute of it!
Also that cat during the ending credits... I can totally see happening :D
Love it! just saw the first episode and it just as i suspected: over the top 80ties theme, excellent dry humor filled with 80ties cop tv show cliches, and a wonderful set of colors that perfectly summarizes what i suspect (i was born in 1987) the mid-to late 80ties disco scene looked like.
If you like Archer http://trakt.tv/shows/archer you should definitely check this one out. I can almost guarantee that you will love it.
lol, the story as its told here seems quite funny. Especially since the similarities (on purpose i assume) between the cult classic sci-fi tv show Firefly, the careers of Alan Tudyk (pilot on board of Firefly) and Nathan Fillion (captain on board of Firefly) and so on. Added to watchlist.
There is no way that this is the show its final episode. It felt so.... empty to be that after more than 10 years and more than 200 episodes.
This show absolutely brilliant. Not only do we get to see the difficult decisions an secretary of state has to make, we can understand and sympathize on an emotional level that not many tv shows have the choices that Elizabeth McCord (played by a phenomenal Téa Leoni) has to make between doing what is the best thing for her country, and what is the right thing to do....
I especially like the fact that this is not just a tv show about the secretary of state, even though Téa Leoni is without a doubt the star that makes this tv show better by a factor of 10. No, its the supporting cast around her that makes this one of the better political drama tv shows i have seen in years. I can definitely see some love chemistry between Téa Leoni and Tim Daly (the husband Henry McCord). And the characters of the staff of from secretary are definitely being more developed over each episode.
This is absolutely one of those shows you need to keep an eye on. It has an intelligent script, an awesome cast, and a subject that is very interesting seeing that there is always something going on in the world, and the USA is always poking its nose where it (more often than not) does not belong....
Holy crap! I totally did not see that ending coming! Awesome episode!
If North-Korea didn't blow the whole situation around this movie way out of proportions, this would have been a movie that had its funny moments, but afterwards would be easy to forget.
But now? I feel almost obligated to watch the movie, and even pay for it!
So, Kim Jung un, well done on taking the Streisand effect to whole new level, well done....

Also i couldn't resist: North-Korea tries to censor Hollywood? Washington wont stand for that! http://i.imgur.com/Hb2NmOK.jpg
The funny thing is, as an actor Leonardo DiCaprio will probably make more in one year than this Jordan Belfort ever can legally :P
This movie has been a joy to watch! If you are a fan of One Piece or Anime in general than you will not be disappointed after having seen this movie.
Eiichiro Oda (the author of the immensely popular Manga and Anime One Piece) manages to draw us into a 108 minutes long masterpiece of animation, storytelling and action that we after 15(!) years of watching are used to from the Anime One Piece. Without a doubt is this one of those movies that some point in the future deserves a re-watch.
It's not a perfect movie. The background story of ex-admiral Z before known as Zephyr could have been a little bit more worked out, but as far as Shonen Jump Anime films go its definitely high up my list of best Anime movies ever. I guess some of the limitations of a movie is that you have to cramp everything in 2 hours or less to keep the movie interesting. Something that the TV show Anime is famously known for avoiding in great humongous lengths.
Overall i would definitely recommend this movie. Why i waited more than a year after the release to finally see this considering that i am a huge One Piece fan is something i cannot comprehend.

And the butchery begins.... February 14, 2014.
I just heard on the news that Nelson Mandela has passed away.
Not just in his home country South-Africa, but in the eyes of many people worldwide Nelson Mandela stood for a strong and powerful voice against racism. It is really a shame that his fight against suppression and racism took 46 years (1944-1990). By the time he became president of South-Africa in 1994 he was already an old man of 75 years old. He could have done so much more for the world and his country if he was released from Robben island years earlier. But nevertheless his accomplishments are just as great as those from others in name immortal people like Gandhi, Martin Luther King, Aung San Suu Kyi and mother Teresa.
May he rest in peace.
