User blog comment:12th Supernova/A Manly Review: Episode of Merry/@comment-5962458-20130825193439

I saw it too in raw, since i already knew the story and by now I;m quite familiar with a lot of japanese expressions.

The film was ok until the Luffy-Ussop fight. After that it was EPIC !! Just non-stop action, and since we knew the story, it was a good idea to skip the battles and just show the finales. Great animation and altered direction was the key to success. What i missed was some of the gags. The funeral was pretty much the same and for the first time i managed not to sob but then came the last scene... man that was a finishing blow!!

Merry lives!!!!!
