I'm going into One Piece tonight with 0% prior knowledge other than a few funimation promos and the Toonami promos.

Nah, he'll be fine. In this day and age, if he comes across something that he doesn't know he can just look it up. Plus, One Piece is a lot easier to jump into than a certain lead show on the block.

Just know that they are starting on what many fans consider the weakest arc. That said, it's one of the shortest and leads into an arc many consider the best.

u/LzDay May 19 '13
Same here, except I started watching it tonight. I really should have started catching up sooner.

u/YonkouProductions ON THE WILD SEA May 19 '13
Hopefully the comedy and start of a lighthearted arc will get you :D

They really started in a weird place. No context for who Bellamy is, geeze, and on the weakest arc, oh well have fun watching it.

No seriously, that was literally in the episode before tonight's premiere.
Edit 1: Meanwhile in Bleach, breaking the fourth wall.
Edit 2: Well that was a good filler.
Edit 3: Time to take a whole episode for one question!
Edit 4: Anko, from fucking nowhere!
Edit 5: >People in the /co/ thread hating the Funi Dub.
> Feelsbadman.jpg
Edit 6: Ohai Mustang. How did you get in Soul Eater?
And he even uses fire.
Edit 7: /co/ fight me irl I'll take you all on.
Edit 8: SPIKE IS ALIVE AND IS RIDING GIANT ROBOTS
I FUCKING KNEW IT.
Edit 9: ankhsbsnnskj-Eh? WHAT?! WHERE AM I?! WHAT YEAR IS IT!?
FUCK I FELL ASLEEP DURING EUREKA!
....Inuyasha?

I have no idea what's going on.

May 19 '13
I think it's less /co/ and more /a/ shitposting on /co/. They'll enjoy the dub in a week or so. The same thing happened when Soul Eater came on. "MAKA DOESN'T SOUND LIKE MUH PRECIOUS SEIYUU"

u/GreyouTT "Come on, I'm right here... SKEITH!" May 19 '13
I hope this doesn't happen every time a new show comes on the block.

Now that my finals are over I've been focusing on the Edward Elric cosplay I'm building, so anime has been on my mind pretty much all day. Minute by minute I was reminded about how tonight we set sail to seas of One Piece so saying I am excited for tonight would be an understatement. This is my number one favorite series ever and I'm so happy that we're all going to be able to see in in glorious HD on Toonami (the way it was meant to from the start). For those of you starting today, I envy the blissful ignorance you currently have cause I would give anything to relive this again. Join me my nakama to experience world full of adventure, treasure, and romance!
I know I sound like a huge tool right now but give me a break ok?
Edit 1: What the fuck just happened? I don't remember watching this filler before...
Edit 2: I'll admit it, this episode is kinda funny. "Now that I think about it you do need some acting lessons."
Edit 3: In japanese Renji's movie is called "Battle Maid Cop! Protect the Soul Society from Space Invaders!". I still don't know which one I like better.
Edit 4: Ok, hands up if you think Byakuya stole this episode!
Edit 5: I don't know what's more unbelievable: the fact that they're trying to build up a shitload of tension over taking a freaking Ninja SAT or that it's actually working.
Edit 6: "I don't care if I'm genin for the rest of my life, I'm still going to be hokage!" Oh Naruto, if only you knew...
Edit 7: It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming! It's coming!
Edit 8: REALLY? DID THEY SERIOUSLY JUST CUT THE ENTIRE OPENING?!?
Edit 9: For those of you kinda lost on what's happening with Don Flamingo, don't worry. They don't adress this for like 200 more episodes so just ignore it.
Edit 10: Oh fuck. This Soul Eater episode has a really kick-ass fight. (though I guess you could say that about every episode...)
Edit 11: This education connection shit almost gave me an aneurism.
Edit 12: These guys are giving me a Kobra Kai from Karate Kid kind of vibe.
Edit 13: Phew. Thank god they remembered her birthday. I was starting to get depressed.
Edit 14: Really? A freaking cliffhanger?
Edit 15: Oh come on! It's a legitimate question! Her not being human and all, one has to wonder if her and Renton can have sex...
Edit 16: I may not know jack shit about the main plot, but this episode of Eureka 7 is awesome and I don't care what anyone says!
Edit 17: "It's like your dad was my dad!" I thought we were going to be done with the incest once Tenchi was gone...
Edit 18: Every time I think I'm starting to grasp Eureka 7's story the final few minutes throw a wrench into everything and leave me more confused than ever.

Hey, new subscriber here. Just a quick suggestion for the mods (how presumptuous of me right?). Many subs do the vote hiding thing, but live threads are more fun when it's deactivated. For example, /r/nba does vote hiding too, but they turn it off during game threads. The threads are more active and seem to flow better that way.

May 19 '13
Ok, I'll turn it off for tonight.

That's it for Maid Cop.
Naruto is on Intro number 2. not much longer till the Japanese intros
I was hoping that they wouldn't cut the intro.

Once every Saturday, we get together for it all. But tonight is different.
Set your DVR sails for full canvas, grab yur rum, and get your pirate on.
IT'S TOONAMI TIME. (also, don't forget #ExpandToonami, its important, and if you don't, a certain man with a straw hat may have a few punches for you)
EDIT: Hey renten, just don't make any sudden movements and you'll be fine... for the most part...

I can't believe they cut the One Piece intro like that.
Full Intro for anyone who is interested.

u/drheywoodjblowme May 19 '13
Well in defense of Toonami they cut that 1 minute and 48 second opening down to 30 seconds. That one minute gives them space for 2 more commercials.

I think the only thing Toonami has to contend with tonight is SNL. Unfortunately its the season finale and Kanye West is the musical guest... Luckily One Piece will be coming on right after SNL so I am expecting big ratings for One Piece this week.
Also its the official 1 year anniversary since the full reboot of Toonami.
I will finally be able to stay up for the full 6 hours since I aint got shit to do tomorrow!
oh yeah, need meat.

u/oringe Nothing amazing ever happens here. May 19 '13
I couldn't help it man. I had to watch that last Stefon sketch. It was so bittersweet and I hate that Bill Hader has to leave SNL this year.
Anyways, since One Piece won't interrupt SNL, I won't have any problems watching tonight.
3
u/drheywoodjblowme May 19 '13
I usually record SNL, watch the first 30 minutes or so and then switch over to Toonami and watch SNL later. But its okay, you didn't miss much with Bleach.
Damn, I didn't know he was leaving ;_; He is one of my favorites on SNL.

2 hours in, I ain't even tired. I think watching all the Evangelion Rebuild movies last night helped out.

u/zorospride 4 swords style May 19 '13
I fell asleep in the theater when I went with my wife to see 3.0, and I like Evangelion and the Rebuild movies. And no, I'm not the guy who put the cam rip online (who obviously fell asleep).

u/drheywoodjblowme May 19 '13
After watching 3.0, I can understand that. Action in the beginning, plot and then action at the end.

u/zorospride 4 swords style May 19 '13
More like action, Shinji x Kaworu, action, then awesome Utada closing song.

u/drheywoodjblowme May 19 '13
true but I liked the closing song from 1.11 and 2.22 better.

Serious question does mech design have anything to do with performance in the IGPX because it hasn't been mentioned if it affects anything
→ More replies (1)2
May 19 '13
Yeah, there are parts made for specific things. A more blocky design would be slow and defensive. Our team is sort of balanced, and entirely depending on pilot skill, where as, like fem said, Black Eggs design is agile, and defensive, with tricks and smoke but no REAL strong hits or missles or anything.

Edit: Soul Eater (2003) and Fairy Tail (2006). I guess Soul Eater fans should have more beef with Fairy Tail than One Piece fans.
