One special notice is that after the recent Episode 1053, the anime will be going on a 3-week break due to the timeslot being pre-emptied with marathons airing in Japan. There fore for us English version watchers we will have to wait until March 18.

Me too! I was looking for a nice episode close to the manga in terms of fidelity. But with One Piece, there are rarely bad surprises |

Sanji is pretty much the only Strawhat with solid character development post-TS. If he still needs it - although he IS getting - I feel sorry for the others, especially Usopp, Franky and Chopper, lol. But I guess more than half the crew is little more than glorified supporting characters and that's fine too. |

Anyone have any insight (rumors, leaks, best guesses) on when we are going to be getting a new opening? I feel like we are LONG overdue for one.

One Piece has finally come to Netflix here in Singapore. They've bought the first 3 seasons with more coming in the months ahead.
I've never seen an ep of One Piece in my life. So my question is, how should i approach this series and what should i expect? |

Err, Grant. Zoro and King haven't finished their fight yet. There's still one more episode left.

Yeah, I was incredibly confused by that too, enough so that I went back and checked last week's episode to make sure I hadn't slept through it somehow. And next week looks like a recap episode, so we're two weeks out from what Grant's talking about. How did this slip in here?
Obviously the series is an enormous time commitment if you intend to stick with it, but my best advice would be to not feel like you have to rush through it. Watch a handful of episodes and give it a shot. It's definitely not going anywhere no matter how many or few episodes you watch per sitting. The earliest story arcs are much simpler than where the series eventually goes, and the art style is a lot more cartoony than what you're probably used to seeing in anime. I won't say "at least watch until X, that's when it gets good," because that's a crappy way to sell someone on a series, and I think the first few arcs are definitely enjoyable, but I think there's also a clear moment later in the introductory portion of the series when Oda really starts to nail down the dramatic formula that he'll use to great effect over the next 25 years. |

What an absolute masterclass of a One Piece episode.
How have we gotten to this point? Where this weekly anime can stand toe-to-toe with its seasonal counterparts. OP literally looks and animates better ON AVERAGE than most seasonal anime and competes with the best ones. Demon Slayer, Oshi No Ko, anything by MAPPA…. And this is a long-running anime that doesn’t stop airing. How have we gotten to this point? Never in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine the OP anime would have production values this high quality. It’s a shame that the pacing is still, often times, slow. And I get how that can be a deal breaker… but man… the OP anime has turned into an event. |

It's funny, the Toonami dub run is at the end of Punk Hazard, which along with Dressrosa is what I'd peg as the absolute nadir of the anime's visuals. The contrast between that and the new episodes I'm watching each week is staggering. It doesn't even seem like the same show anymore.

Whoever they got to take over for leading the production of the anime finally was able to get the talent needed to exist in this new age. To be able to keep up with all the new anime coming out, this needed to be done. I’m sure those at the top realized that and rose up. I’m so glad. Man I can’t wait till that moment.

Can't believe there is yet another recap episode next week. We are so far behind the manga now this seems unnecessary

Haha
Did anyone catch the part where Momonosuke was remembering his family? That whole sequence pretty much used the OG Dragonball eye-catchers as a base, but replaced the characters on those with Hiyori, Oden and Toki.

How does the animation keep getting better and better? And it's safe to say they plan to top this for the climax of the Luffy and Kaido fight.
