Frannnnnnkyyyy Shhhhoooooggggguuuunnnnnn _o/

[Kizuchan]

That was a pretty good episode. There were points where it felt stretched out, but it looked a lot better than some other of the recent episodes.
The music choice with Luffy at the end was great. I just like whenever Luffy smacks Hody around, honestly and the little parts with Chopper, Nami and Ussop were nice. The Franky stuff felt the most dragged, though, but again, it looked nice.

Can you say padding? Holy Hell this episode got stretched out until its butthole bled. There were a few scenes that were in there just for the sake of being in there. Yes, we know Zeo is an ass. Yes, we know Hyousu exists - we don't need to see him walk off somewhere. That recap was a lot longer than usual, too.

However .. I did have fun watching it. It was a fun episode even with its flaws. I wasn't bored or bothered by it. And I guess that's all you can really ask for out of this: To have fun.

the only thing i didn't care for was the overuse of sparkly eyes...

also, pandaman sighted right after general franky appears and a bunch of fishmen are seen freaking out, pandaman is somewhere in the middle of them.

[tatermoog]

Yee, next week's ep looks bad.

[DraculeMihawk]

I felt like I was watching Yu-Gi-Oh for Franky's scene.

[Cyborg009]

did anyone noticed that franky actually mentioned the wapolmetal? good episode though.

[NateRich]

Oh noes, not Noah!

[MasterKingJC]

Enjoyable episode this week!
Now everyone can say that One Piece has MECHAS in it now. XD
Usopp and Chopper fangasming while Nami and Robin stare indifferently was very funny.

He did in the manga as well.

Trouble is, no one in anime-only universe knows about Wapometal's origins.

Great episode, and can deal with the stretching as it prevents the appearance of a lot of filler episodes in the future. Also, seeing Luffy's face at the end go from smiley to anger so fast definitely game me a "shits about to hit the fan" vibe.

[Zoro100]

Luffy's kick was epic, so was Zoro's and Sanji's intervention, as Luffy was walking towards Hody the face of that nasty tenryubito came to my mind xP, the first part of the episode felt stretched out but in my opinion the second part was enjoyable =D

[Demonicpoodle]

Nice episode. Luffy's kick at the end was... fair. Only complaint was that they used the music for slamming Charloss-sei's face into the ground. Reserve that music, Toei. Hody doesn't deserve it. Also I really liked Noah at the end, really felt its presence.

Felt Zoro and Sanji paving the way for Luffy could've been done better.

But yeah, Hody had the vast misfortune of striking major chords with Luffy with both the "Pirate King" and "brother" comments.

[Davy Jones]

So next week looks shitty? Is that right?

So next week looks shitty? Is that right?

Preview is at the top. Judge it for yourself.

I won't be judging the next episode off of a 15 second preview.

[Drake_Cloud]

Pretty good episode. Toei's doing much better with stretching scenes out to get a full run time than at the start of the fighting, so I hope it continues.

[eliman12]

What wrong with you guys? next week look nice the fight will be in good animation thats for sure
cause Yokoyama's art don't look like that but overall the episode will be between worst and nice XD

For sure good animation in the fight!!


and we will get FULL chapter guys!
