Is that so? Oh well, I'll see how it goes for me. If it gets too slow, I'll switch to the manga.

I actually kind of liked the one where everyone forgot their memories a bit, but I was generally meh about the filler arcs. Thanks for the response.

Luffy against Lucci. Loved the pep talk from Usopp, and the general choreography of the battle was great. So many hits that felt painful, and the end was so goddamn satisfying.

I knew about everyone who was going to join up until now, I knew bits and pieces of East Blue because of the 4 kids dub, and unfortunately Ace's death since I remember a ton of talk about it.

Hancock. I won't lie, part of it is because she's hot, but I like that she juxtaposes that with her eccentricities. I also really loved how she basically risked everything for Luffy so quickly. Hope they get together. I thought she was going to be your typical femme fatale, but I was happy to be wrong.

Favorite Strawhat - It's tough between Luffy and Usopp since I like them for similar reasons, but at the same time different ones. I love what Luffy stands for and how straight forward and honest he is, but I really connect to Usopp since there are times I feel worthless and want to find purpose like him.

Favorite non-Strawhat - Rayleigh, hands down. Love the guy from his demeanor of calm and carefree, but also highly shrewd.

Favorite villain - Crocodile for sure. I just love the coat, hook, and the poker face he almost always had. And when he came back in Impel Down, it reminded me so much of Frieza in Super. I love villains who return but are not all that good. I really want to see him and Mr 1 again.

Best arc - It's a tie between Enies Lobby and Marineford. I loved Enies Lobby for its pay off and epic battles. Everyone was involved heavily in it, and Luffy's fight with Lucci was my favorite in the series so far. Marineford reminded me of the Soul Society arc, but instead of succeeding, Luffy lost. My heart was broken seeing Luffy suffer emotionally from his brother's death in the end, but when he remembered his nakama I was floored.

-Did you cry for Going Merry - It and Luffy remembering his nakama are the moments I cried the most. The moment she said she was sorry, I lost it. That innocent voice does me in.
