Episode 460
Who here loved Episode 460? BECAUSE I TOTALLY DID.

I know the animation was pretty... ugh, but this was the episode that featured Portgas D. Rouge who was so amazing! I thought what she did in the manga was really incredible, but seeing it animated really showed off her strength and love for Ace and Roger. And I absolutely love her now. ♥♥♥ I thought the island was beautifully depicted and drawn, and I liked seeing Garp's regret at Rouge's death which was caused by the Marines sticking around. Overall, I just really loved the direction and the part of the story it showed off. --YazzyDream 05:18, August 1, 2010 (UTC) No, not yet... you can't come out yet...

Episode 461
Well, first off, 10 seconds into this episode and already the animation is a ton better than the last ep. I'm not saying it was great (it got better as it went along), but 461 was so terribly inconsistant and bad, this looked great in comparison. There were a few flubs (Shanks has his arm back!), but overall I thought it was pretty solid. I really liked the filler they included with Ace and Whitebeard's backstory. It was only a few panels in the manga and felt... hm... kinda rushed. So it was nice that they expounded on Ace's relationship with the crew, especially with Thatch. Oh, his death was so brutal. I loved it. And it felt like there was a more legitimate reason for why Ace went after Teach. It wasn't just that Teach worked under Ace, it wasn't just that Teach killed a comrade/nakama. Teach killed his friend. You know that if anyone killed any of Luffy's friends he'd go bat shit insane. So yeah, this felt a lot more in-depth than what we knew of before.

My one major gripe is that... um, in the beginning Whitebeard uses his power to make giant tidel waves... Hahahaha, what happened to them? They were missing in the end! --YazzyDream 19:03, August 9, 2010 (UTC)
