| Yeah, it's sad to see One Piece go for six months or so, but in the meantime, how about a BIGGGG trip down memory lane, with a remaster of Fishman Island, the arc to kickstart timeskip. And the start it off, We Go! by Hiroshi Kitadani NOPE, THE STRAW HAT PIRATES THEMSELEVES AHHHHH. FUCKKKK that OP was so fucking nostalgic. Btw, the Hody Jones fight looked so fucking good in it as well. But yeah, onto the main thing, everything in the new art style, kinda. More like the art style their using for the the WIT remake more than anything. Seeing Sanji again in this arc... man if you don't get this dude OFF the screen NOW xD In all seriousness, man this is so nostalgic as a whole. I mean, to see the entire gang (and fake one) like this, and Luffy just recently HAD LEARNED HAKI??? Shit is just amazing to see. Nothing was as amazing as hearing THAT OG EYE CATCHER MUSIC OMFGGGG. Also, I find it funny that by the first eye catcher, this episode already finished the first episode of this arc in the OG lol. Just goes to show how fucking slow the OG is. And yeah, that means that we got to see the new and improved Haki in this artstyle, and god it's SOOOOO much better than just the white lines that showed up in the OG. I did forgot how much of clowns these fake straw hats were lol. Navy are really no better for actually falling for these VERY clearly imposters, but yeah, this is the glory that is this Return to Sabody arc. Slowly but surely though, the REAL straw hat pirates are making their way to reuniting, and god what a banger of a first episode this was. I'm so exicited for these next twenty weeks, BRING IT ONNNNNNN. Banger ED as well btw. P.S. For reference: This episode one adapted the first two episode of the Return to Sabody arc (Ep #517 & 518), and chapters 598 and 599. |
 |
| The visuals for the new We Go version are pretty nice and finally an ending for FMI For that reason alone we need the other arcs to receive the same treatment as well. One Piece is such a dense manga and adapting two chapters that aren't focussed on action and fighting can be a tad too much. The original episodes for this arc had actully fine pacing, so cutting some parts for this episode seems less than ideal. I guess I will appreciate it more once we get to some episodes which were actually padding(even tho FMI didn't have anything as bad as Dress Rosa and Wano) I'm cool with modern visuals for the characters. The Haoshoku aura on the other hand? Sorry, that was pretty much perfect before. |

One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| Straw hats singing We go I COULD CRY RN BROOOOOOOO Fishmid not really an arc id rewatch but since new art I must gotta deal with sanjis shit the entire arc 😐 chopper silly i forgot about this ZORO GOAT RAAAA the ed is pretty epic |
  me candies:        |
| I like how the updated visuals look, its cool that this isn't just a complete repeat of how we saw the arc before Also the new animation for the opening was really cool as well as the ending |
| lol It almost felt weird watching a One Piece episode that used more than 1 chapter of manga material after literal decades. What I did not like though is the fact that they cut out scenes that were in the original canon. Nami getting threatened by Fake-Nami, Robins first appearance and Luffy saying goodbye to Hancock were left out. |
| I have no idea why people don't like this arc. The only problem with the arc is legit the filler and Vander Decken lol. You can say what you want about Hody but he perfectly encapsulates the conflict FMI had been suffering and pretty much mirrors a lot of qualities hateful people have. On another note, not much to say but the pace obviously is better. It's also quite noticeable how much younger the VA's sound especially Robin, Nami & Franky (duh!). They legit sound too old on the recent episodes |
| Going to watch this and keep myself busy at night at least. Until we get back to Egghead Island, which won't be for a while until it is Spring 2025. |
| Its been 5 minutes. I already feel a bit odd, with how they started at Luffy's scene and Sanji's scene. I hope Toei does not think that having a better pace is equivalent to having no proper transitions between scenes and not letting any moments properly breath. The opening was underwhelming. Even if we compare it to before The Peak openings. But the song was fire, as it is guaranteed to be if the Straw Hats sing together. But at least I liked the effort they put into making a song for Brook/Soul King. I had forgotten the Caribou brothers were part of the fake Straw Hats Still gotta love all of the Straw Hats getting their OSTs back. And still gotta love the shuffling of voice actors within fake Straw Hats I love the Chopper scene with him confusing the fake Straw Hats just as much as I did the first time. I really like the eyecatchers this time around. "I got on the wrong boat." Oh, the ED seems really good, both visualwise and songwise. |
| Wow I have to admit that the Egghead arc will be on hiatus until April 2025 but the meantime watching remaster of the Fish-man island arc, the animation look good plus the Op also that I am impressed that they kept the old audio of the late Hiromi Tsuru’s voice in this episode (I felt like it like the tribute for her for one last time for One piece) I am going to watch this until it get back next year |
| Once again watching the fishmen arc but this time with improved animation. I hope it will be a good experience for new One Piece fans who are yet to get to this arc. It was so fast that I even felt strange, it almost felt like I missed something... and apparently there were some scenes that they cut from the original, for example:  Not that this is a relevant scene for the importance of the story but there were some cuts here and there, that's for sure. Man, I liked the ending more than the opening. Reminds me a lot of the vibe of JJK's ''Lost in Paradise'' (1:12 ~ 1:25) and JIKAI: |
 |
| Anybody know the no. of lag between the sub and dub for this arc? I'm know how good sub is but watching on dub really saves time, which I barely have these days. |
| yeah it’s okay. the op is clean asf but the actual anime is just too similar for me to be really excited by this i think |
 |
| That looked quite neat, liked the updated visuals. Actually looked good and upto date. Made me nostalgic watching the strawhat reuniting one by one. Zoro appearance with the ost always a banger. Pacings fast but given they plan to resume anime in 6 months, they'll also want to be done with this by then so makes sense. Personally I don't mind. |
 |
| People watching this without the nostalgia filter should like it. |
| The OP was great! I'd love it if the English dub actors sang it, too. The ED was good. I checked out the marines to see if any looked like the brothers. |
| Can't say I'm disappointed when this is already a bottom-tier arc, but this looks identical to the weekly anime. |
| They have to do this with Dressrosa in the future. |
 |
| I miss watching this show week to week, good to be back. About the FI re-edited version, first half of this episode had really bad flow imo, we jumped from one scene to the next just like that. The flow is a lot better in the second half. Toei fixed a lot of the bad art problem that this arc had in the original, which is good. This version isn't perfect, and the Wano artstyle contrast with the original version's background art did look out of place in certain moments, but I am content with it, until we hopefully eventually get the Wit Studio's version of this. There's one scene that I remember from the original that they removed in this version, that is the Usopp Nami hugging scene when Usopp's nose was poking out of Nami's chests. I am glad that there's barely any fanservice at all in this version. One Piece get too much bad rep from people complaining about the fanservices, but 90% of it was because of Toei. I love the new OP and ED visuals, especially the ED. Many people hated Shirahoshi but I liked her and her story. The OP sequence with the Fishman heading towards the Sun with the strawhats leading them is so beautiful. I can't wait to experience the flashback again with Otohime and Fisher Tiger. The one thing that I really hated in this episode is the use of aura. I did not like that in Wano, and I certainly do not like that here. The scene where Luffy hit Hody in the opening song looks really, really bad in my opinion. This edited version is far from perfect but it's fun. EGOIST said: Agreed. Fishman Island is one of my favorite arcs.I have no idea why people don't like this arc. The only problem with the arc is legit the filler and Vander Decken lol.

| We're finally back with Sabaody Archipelago first, as I expected. Remake post-Marineford is on the cards, after all. Nami's encounter with the fake Straw Hats and Usopp coming in while the Nami imposter snuck behind our Nami-swaaan was the first real disjointed scene from the episode that I noticed. They could've smoothened the scene a little but it's very minor, so wasn't much of an issue for me. I want to see Dressrosa getting this treatment too! Op with the VAs singing it is a nice tradition to go with too. Wake Up! and Hard Knock Days will be fun although the latter might be a little difficult with the lack of female voice in the OG track. Well, I'm sure they can find a way around it. |

| I'm in love with the visuals of the new OP & ED! Just love listening to this version of We Go! with the Straw Hat VA cast singing the lyrics. 😭 The visuals for the OP are much more colorful and more dynamic than the old visuals for OP15 back in 2011. Also, I'm so fond of the modern take for the ED visuals because that also looks eye candy. Honestly, I'm very happy to watch this arc again, but now with brand new animation and improved pacing. However, when they tried to improve the pacing, they omitted certain panels from the original. Some of the removed panels which were painfully obvious from here was fake Nami threatening the real Nami. I remember they had a conversation before Usopp used his Pop Greens. I mean, whaa...? I blinked and I was asking myself if the episode I was watching had some frames cut or something. Because it was so weird to see the fake Nami was immediately standing next to the real Nami when Usopp made his attack. What happened and why did they make such a mistake when adjusting the pacing? I also noticed that something was missing when Chopper was talking to the fake Straw Hats. Demalo Black didn't even react to Chopper here, while in the original, Demalo Black was completely oblivious about Chopper's existence, as he asked his comrades "What is this thing?" which was so funny because he knows nothing about Chopper. This portion in the remake feels off, but I'll let it slide. The Marine soldiers having a conversation while running... To be completely honest, I'd rather remove that instead of removing the panels that I mentioned above. So that's 2 episodes crammed into 1 One Piece episode. It feels surreal because One Piece anime hasn't experienced this kind of faster pacing for God knows when. 😅 I'm assuming that in the next episodes, the Straw Hats will be leaving Sabaody already, which I think is great for this remake's pacing and it should wrap up this return nicely with just a total of 2 episodes. I don't mind that at all, but I hope they don't cut off some very important panels again. Very happy to have my weekly One Piece fix again! 😭 |
| After watching first episode and remembering what I saw on original fishman island arc beginning I’d say that the animation does feel a little bit improved, of course it wasn’t super difficult by just taking existing cuts and polishing them. The pacing feels different but the big problem is that they appear to be cutting short scenes that never needed cutting in the first place. It almost feels like a failure to understand what made this arc such a burden to watch in the original airing. Its gonna be very curious to see how they gonna proceed with pacing and minor scene cutting, but overall its not too much to complain about in general asides from whats mentioned. |
| It begins... (Atleast some OP content is better than nothing!)  The ending song was beautiful. |
| (☞ ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)☞ YouTube @ The Pirate Collector ԅ( ͒ ͒ )ᕤ |
| The OP sang by the VAs was awesome. Why does Sanji have a wanted poster of Zoro in his pocket xD... Bro cares about him very deeply no matter how much he tries to hide it. @Hermiyas Have you been living under a rock the past few weeks or something? |

| Fish-man island is back... or more so is the Sabaody archipelago so to speak. This special edition of One Piece focused on remaking this arc that severely dragged out by the end could certaily become the best way to watch it. Although it's true that the animation effects and the color palette may not everyone's favorite, it looks really nice as does the new opening with the remix song and the ending sequence with various colorful frames. By the end we'll see how much this is worth it. |

| Fun episode with a lot of memories. Pacing was a little too fast but eh whatever, I'll take it |
 |
| 4/5, I personally think it was very smart of them to choose this arc for a Special Edited Edition. I do not blame anyone who gives this 3/5 as it's pretty much entirely a recap, just with more modern animation [ability]. I think people would be more annoyed by a trashy filler arc (good filler would have been cool, but people don't like that either). The straw hats would have gotten away undercover, if it wasn't for those meddling adults! Oh no, Brook might be done with pirating, such a huge shame but I'm happy for him. (We all know what he told his manager) Nami and Usopp are such good friends, unfortunate for "girl" that didn't see him with Nami in Fan Letter but she glimpsed her (and much more she did) so all good. Honestly feel bad for that pirate crew as I did before, we have no idea if they are malicious and were just following their dreams. However, Zoro is right with what he said. Sanji will no longer be chased by beautiful "ladies" on the daily, he definitely respects them and is thankful to Iva-chwan. Sad Luffy isn't wearing nose/mustache. Franky and Robin also being good friends and Chopper having his world broken </3 (it's always funny he's the pet that loves cotton candy, and not the doctor or reindeer fighter) Almost forgot, I prefer the original opening song, but it's still always nice to hear the crew sing and was a very appropriate choice since it's a special edited edition. The ending :o |

De_Baer said: Nami getting threatened by Fake-Nami Fake Nami had time-freeze or teleportation ability here where as Usopp attacks she magically ended up next to Nami. Fake Nami might be a future threat in Elbaf |

Its been 5 minutes.
I already feel a bit odd, with how they started at Luffy's scene and Sanji's scene.
I hope Toei does not think that having a better pace is equivalent to having no proper transitions between scenes and not letting any moments properly breath.
The opening was underwhelming. Even if we compare it to before The Peak openings. But the song was fire, as it is guaranteed to be if the Straw Hats sing together.
But at least I liked the effort they put into making a song for Brook/Soul King.
I had forgotten the Caribou brothers were part of the fake Straw Hats
Still gotta love all of the Straw Hats getting their OSTs back.
And still gotta love the shuffling of voice actors within fake Straw Hats
I love the Chopper scene with him confusing the fake Straw Hats just as much as I did the first time.
I really like the eyecatchers this time around.
"I got on the wrong boat."
Oh, the ED seems really good, both visualwise and songwise.

I don't think I have a favorite arc, but I think roughly what lives in my head the most is Eniel's Lobby > Impel Down / Marineford > Wano > Dressrosa. I personally think Fishman was good choice for variety of reasons and am really looking forward to it. Honestly love (hate) pretty much all of One Piece, Water 7 has to be one of the lowest on my mind for whatever reason when it's also really good. |
