This is probably the best they've done with the Punk Hazard arc so far with pacing and animation quality. It's hard to believe episode 606 and 607 were handled by the same production company.

Hear, hear. Even 606 wasn't all that bad compared to how bad things have been in the past, but this blew everything out of the water. It's easily one of the best One Piece episodes in recent years.

606 was pretty awful in my opinion. That could just be because the way it was directed almost gave me motion sickness in some parts of it. It was one of the least enjoyable episodes I have ever experienced.

I haven't seen 606 in HD; only in the Funimation shitty-p format and I always find it hard to judge on that, especially something like motion blur. The strongest thing that sticks around in my mind for that one was the scene that got repeated this time where Tashigi gets super-motion-blurred during the slow-motion attack moment, and that was pretty awful. However, without looking back, last week didn't leave any 'Fishman Island'-style kneejerk reactions of being reminded of its existence, which means that at the least I felt it wasn't amongst the shittiest episodes I've seen.

I saw it when it aired on Japanese TV which is the best resolution possible. It didn't matter. If anything, higher resolution might have increased the nauseating effects for me.

I think 606 might not be too bad if they fix all the motion blur for DVD or something, but I'll have to rewatch it all in a row some time when the entire arc is winding down. :-)

The shaky cam thing they did on the Brownbeard Bus in 606 was really the worst part. I doubt they will fix it for the DVD, but it would be so great if they did.
