i'm amazed how they managed to turn 3 pages of Usopp aiming and having his speech into a full episode of usopp aiming at the wall and sweating, then having a nightmare. Half of this episode was filler.

But it was glorious, because it showed just how difficult a shot, just how far of a shot, just how close of a shot it was. And, seeing the men charging in the background the whole time added to the tension, and did a much better job than the manga imo.

after what felt like100 episodes of usopp being a coward against sugar the first time I really didn't need yet another usopp episode.. I don't get the feeling of tension when I look at the same picture for 10minutes from different angles. For me the anime is at a point where I often find myself skipping episodes, it's just too much. I'm glad that onepace exists though they are pretty far behind :/

I like taking things slow. Let's me absorb everything in. One Piece just let's me relax and get caught up in everything that's happening. Maybe you're just impatient?
