the sub

I like the sub better with the blood when they fight it adds to the absolute beating of crocodile and arlong. And i agree the dub sucks big time!

The neverending Luffy/Lucci fight looks great here. Looks good for next week too. LOTS o' marines. A fun, action packed episode.

Here are the caps. The last shot is from next weeks episode. Looks badass but you never know how the animation will be from one minute to the next. Franky and Sanji look great in the opening shot but right after that it's back to normal. Very inconsistent again this week. I was kind of disappointed with the Marine fight too. It just didn't have any style or punch that they've had in the past. That's just my opinion.

Uhm....This episode is simply astonishing. Even my jaw dropped and that takes some doing. It wasn't just animated beautifully but directed beautifully as well. The attention to detail in movement and expression is incredible. From the very first frame with Lucci, you know this is the real deal. The style is an interesting combination of reliable Movie 4 art and the dynamism of Movie 6. Don't read too much into that though. It's pretty subtle. The fight against the bosses had much more weight in this than the last episode. The ending might have you tearing up too. This'll make people's top 5 list, if not No.1.

Wow.

Lots o' screencaps coming...

First off, if you're interested in what music they played for the climax, here it is. Track 47 from the Movie 8 soundtrack. One of the few original pieces in that movie. Of course they could have picked something better but I think it works very well.

SPOILER CAPS feat. Zoro vs. Rusty and final Luffy. Heck, why not one more. Same ending as Movie 6. :) Hmm...AND Ussop saves Zoro too.

Looks pretty good now

I will miss that third sword......
Dang, why did I read the manga?!!!

Darkandroid · May 14, 2007

I can't wait for the HQ subbed version of this episode. It looks amazing.

Gamefreak103 · May 19, 2007

WOW!!!!

That Jet Gatling Gun looked like a real gun!

Darkandroid · May 19, 2007

That was definately one of the best episodes in the series.

ROBIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!! *wipes tears from eyes*

Wait, that was last week. Whoah, still recovering I guess. By the way, if anyone's interested, I put together a soundtrack of episode 309. It's got all the music from beginning to end in chronological order. Here it is:

Episode 309 Soundtrack

I figured last week's episode deserves it. That Movie 8 piece has grown on me a lot. I think it actually worked better than the Crocodile climax. I know I'm probably the only one with that opinion. But they did such a great job editing the piece, from the violins over the flashbacks to the cellos and woodwinds building over the Lucci and Robin flashbacks to the trumpets, trombones/french horns playing as Lucci gets pushed back into the wall. Awesome. Also, Giant Stronghold, Takeoff!! from Movie 7 near the end playing through each crew member's fight was brilliant. Keeping the same track over all of that really builds tension. So here's to the sound guys at Toei too.

Anyway, 310's out. Not last week's killer animation but still exciting. For once though, it was nice actually enjoying the tedious 5 minute recap at the beginning. But this one had a great ending. And next week has that "other" style of art similar to Movie 6 that we sometimes see. Looks really good!

Man, I love this style of art. And the animation is so expressive. They do recycle a couple of scenes but this episode is great. The crew make their escape thanks to Sanji's plan and Robin gets her revenge.....and wow, is that a painful scene.

Next week's episode has a new style of animation as far as I can tell. Never seen it before but it looks good, I think(ehm....some people might not notice). I'll be interested if they can keep one style for more than one episode. EDIT: Ah, I think I can place that style........Movie 7???? Boobies!!!!!!

A couple of spoiler caps. That last one I just thought would make a nice wallpaper.

Good episode. We get to hear about Adam and see Paulie in his cool new jacket. They also added a bit of hilarious filler involving Zoro and his keen sense of direction. And they seem to be stretching out the part where the two kids try to mug him. Then there's Garp, of course.

Spoiler section. Btw, Garp's scar is not visible in his first shot but they show it in the following scenes. EDIT: Oh, and you can probably expect some flood warning messages in any raw you get. :(

The episode before was definately a sad one. V_V

Gamefreak103 · Jun 11, 2007

I want the episode when they see their bounties.
(I want to see Namie freak XD)

Also, yay........

Spike · Jun 17, 2007

I like One Piece.I'm not really in the war for dub vs. sub but eitherway I think it's an awesome show.

Gamefreak103 · Jun 19, 2007

Monkey D. Garp is one of the best characters on the show! XD

HUGE Update coming! De Arimasu!

Well, if that wasn't one of the saddest episodes ever...

The art was great. It did look a lot like Movie 7. Nami and Robin had huge cans, just like the movie, but luckily it didn't get too much in the way here. Pretty failthful to the manga. A really cool part: all the Merry flashbacks at the end were re-animated. Looked very nice in widescreen. Good job on consistency Toei. They also show shots of most of the rooms of Merry as Luffy and Chopper look for Usopp. Good idea.

Net ep looks good: the return of G.

EDIT: Some notes. In one scene they "accidentally" forget to draw Robin's slip and you can see her ***...kinda. What? Of course I made a screencap of it! Also, the music they play at the end during the recaps was ending 16, Dear Friends. And speaking of recaps. The ones at the beginning of this episode are very short this time.

I guess I'll put the rest as SPOILERS. Get your hanky ready.
Hm. The GM had mugiwara flags in the flashback at Usopp's village. Is that right?

This was a great episode. The animation was quite good and a lot of the scenes are directed very nicely. A lot of classic OP tracks here too. Nice way of connecting to the older episodes.

We get to hear of Shin Sekai and Vegapunk and all sorts of new info. They picked the Sogeking theme song to play at the party. Heh. Very moving ending with Robin and Aokiji too. Looks like next week will actually look the same as far as production quality is concerned which is good. Check out the link in the first post to see the preview. Can't wait to see Shanks again.

Looks like Nami's bikini is the same color as in the Rainbow book after all.

The first few minutes were filler with he return of the two W7 station guys. Then more partying and later Shanks and Whitebeard. I hate to say it but the final scene with them is surprisingly weak. I was hoping for something with more "DON!" in it. Too bad. Also...*spoiler*no new bounties in this ep, although we get to see Sanji's dream bounty posters. That was funny. They reanimate a couple of flashbacks but not others. Kind of annoying.

Anyway, next week is filler time. *sigh* Animation looks great though.

Yeah, it really depends on the person too. Older folk mught say Dr.Slump. Still, I think Dragonball would get the most mentions.

on the 10th anniversary website, what exactly are each of the merchandises being sold? i would like to purchase those merchandise if i could.

1. The Movie Log Box comes with a booklet describing all the movies up to Movie 8, a DVD recapping the entire TV series, a Chopperman cell phone strap and a few other things.

2. Yellow is the latest data book referencing the manga specifically.

3. Rainbow is the first data book about the anime. Very different than the Log Book.

4. Grand Paper Adventure 3D is a pop-up book, all art by Eiichiro Oda.

5. Not 100% sure yet. Some kind of book with illustrations and interviews. I think it's B5 size(Japan).

All come with different special messages and sketches from Oda. You can find pics of 1-4 in the collectibles thread. EDIT: Ok, I just linked them instead. A good place to buy from is HobbyLink Japan.
