User blog:Roranoa Drake II/Episode 725 Review: Road to Gear Fourth

Does anyone here actually still watch the anime? Eh whatever, Kaido might die if this blog drought continue.

Chapters covered: Chapter 783 only

The first seven minutes was just the usual introduction. After the introduction is over you'll be greeted by some awkward colored static shots. Good job Toei! The episode didn't get much better in terms of animation.....

But I'll admit they did do a good job by staying true to the manga for the most part. The extra red-hawk and grizzly magnum were nice. Each of those moves played a significant role in the previous two arcs. (Red Hawk - Hody and Grizzly Magnum-Caesar). It paved the way nicely for gear fourth.

And of course the episode ends with Luffy saying "GEAR FOURTH"

So whose excited for next week's episode? What are your thoughts and expectations? How badly do you think Toei will fuck this up? :D
