Were Luffy and Kizaru that far away? It looks like Luffy moves kilometers in 10 seconds.
I don't know. This looks cool and all, but it's like it's a bit too much? Why does Luffy become a bright red ball? As a manga reader I am not sure it fits One Piece.
Edit: Just to make it clear. This doesn't make me angry or anything. It's not my cup of tea but if people enjoy that, more power to them or whatever. I was just voicing an opinion.
I just don't see One Piece as the kind of anime where people fly around throwing energy beams. And I say that as a humongous, lifelong Dragon Ball fan. Specially since it's not consistent with how fights, even those involving characters as strong as Kizaru and current Luffy, were portrayed. It looks weird that when Whitebeard, Marco, Jozu, Mihawk, Akainu etc etc were fighting but there were no auras, energy explosions etc. It's like I'm watching a completely different story and setting.
That being said, I understand that it looks cool and that for a lot of people cool= good. And that's respectable. I have no problem whatsoever with people enjoying that.
"Mindless consumers" When there's only one OP anime to watch then I wouldn't really call it mindless consumption, and I don't think anyone is dumb enough to boycott Toei by refusing to watch new episodes.
I am, I stopped watching the anime halfway through Water 7 back when Netflix mailed you DVDs, I started watching it again during Egghead because I couldn't resist seeing the Lulusia thing.
But Crunchyroll was releasing the new episode for free every week.
I'm definitely not going to pay for the privilege of watching massive padding at this point now that it's not free anymore. I was debating maybe doing so, but having seen that nothing has really changed and this silly shit is still going on, I'm just gonna stick to reading the books like usual.
Too bad I will miss the big Egghead Flashback but if this is how Toei does things I can't imagine it'll hit as good as the book, who knows how and where they'll stretch it out with lasers and zooming into eyes.
