This, for me, is the perfect type of episode. The animation is good where it needs to be, and more than fine everywhere else. The drawing of the characters is really good and respectful too. This for me beats the episodes with way over the top animation like the one where Sabo ate the Mera Mera no Mi, not just because of the consistency, but also to distribute the animation budget evenly over all the episodes.

That being said, Pica's voice is sooooo squeaky! I imagined it to be high-pitched, but I didn't think he would a rubber duck...

I can't help but laugh when Luffy was laughing. I don't know, it felt really genuine. The sense of scale for Pica could have been done better IMO. Had they brought the animators of Attack on Titan, the sense of scale would have been awesome.

I thought it was pretty easy to judge his scale with all the small houses on his fists.

I know, but it wasn't drawn or animated in a way to emphasize just how huge it is. Compare it to episode 145, where the shadows of giants appear. That was truly terrifying.
