I'm so used to be disappointed in the anime but this actually surpassed my expectations. First off the pacing was spot on. There wasn't this "look at every character's expression after one of them talks" thing going on. And holy shit, the animation. The animation was top notch. I love how they animated Luffy kicking Katakuri. You could tell just how important it was, and the filler afterwards of Luffy dodging the attacks was quite fitting.
I only have two minor complaints.
1. I wish they'd stop using the same animation when Luffy goes gear 4th. Mix it up a bit.
2. There HAS to be some other kind of filler they can do besides Luffy getting knocked around, and then falling to the ground and struggling to get up. There has to be, and I wish they'd use it.
But damn that Kong Gun was satisfying to watch. I'm actually looking forward to next week.
