Anyways, I finally finished the first half of One Piece. Needless to say, I loved every minute of it. It wasn't perfect, but as it went on, it only seemed to get better. This last arc in particular finally added some context to how Luffy become strong in the first place, and at the end had ever character involved in training, thus establishing how everyone will get stronger and ultimately handle the strange new challenges the New World will likely be.
As for the Marineford arc, That arc is still the best in the series in my opinion, and the best climax to the story they ever could've gotten. The battles were intense, emotions were high, the drama was fierce, the twists were amazing, and the deaths were heartwrenching. It had it all. My favorite fights involved Whitebeard, of course, and that says a lot since nearly every battle in the arc was well done - just the right amount of flair while still being engaging, intelligent enough to keep you involved without wasting too much time, and all the new powers were unique and interesting, yet still believable in their limits. And these are mostly minor characters. I'm also impressed how well they established just how intense the new world is without even showing it - all of these pirates are from the new world, and many of them are probably as strong, if not stronger than Luffy currently is, which also establishes the need for proper on screen training for the first time since the series began.
All this in a measly 30 or so episodes. For a long running anime, that's extremely impressive. The are a few things that irked me, though. For one thing, there was too much of characters gawking at events, during a war, when it's already been established that they can't afford to be distracted. In fact they even reiterate that point, only to continue doing it, often at no consequence. Actually...that might be the only problem I had with it. It was a big one, though. I guess the show also has a bad habit of being a bit self-indulgent with it's comedy, but that was light in this arc. I swear, this dhow is the closest thing to perfection I ever encoupntered with a shounen show. I find it hard to believe that they'll ever top it in the second half, but all reports have been good so far. I look forward to watching more...in October. Because seriously, I need a real long break from this show. My backlog is piling up again.
So I just finished Angel Beats. I enjoyed it, but darn it, that show would have been amazing if it was given a second season so the pacing could be less rediculous (introducing a dozen characters in the first episode is a bit much) and so backstories could be more accross the board than just pertaining to a select few characters.
Best thread ever

Hahaha, I couldn't agree with you more. I like how it can make you laugh many times, be amazed at its action, and even make you cry sometimes. Though it may be long, they still pretty much justified it's length with it's world and what they do with it. That's why it's my favorite anime of all time, even more than Dragon Ball. Episode 517 and beyond are pretty fresh and, in one way, makes you actually miss the "original series" despite it's length, because that's what we have left before the timeskip.

@CanisWolfred
As you can see, Funimation has it on their site, should I watch sub or dub?
Depends on how fast you're gonna be. If you catch up on the Dub really quickly, you'll be in for a long wait. Sub will last you much longer, but there's a gap in the episode count last I checked, which is only filled once the DVDs of those episodes are out. You might be better off with Dubs just to give you a better reason to pace yourself.
I should also note that Funi seems to just use Hulu's player on their website. Buersonally, I don't like it, but I'll probably start watching The New World there so I can experience the openings again.
@CanisWolfred
So I'm guessing they haven't dubbed everything yet, by the sound of it?
They got ahold of the show 7 years late. They're catching up fairly quick, but it'll ultimately be a while. Still, if you start watching now, you'll have 263 episodes to watch if you choose dubbed.
One Piece's dub is pretty great most of the time, it's more than worth watching.
And yeah, they've been dubbing at a reasonable pace but they got the license like 8 years after the anime started and it took them a while to get later episodes.
Reminds me, I need to get back into the dvds. I literally haven't seen Water 7 since 2007, it'll be great. Adored that arc.
