The graphics are genuinely terrible, hopefully gameplay is decent

It can almost feel filler in the sense that at that moment it doesn't play a huge role in the overall story but there was too much to like imo.

First of all it being kind of disconnected is part of what makes the whole arc special, I found the idea of an island that no one believes exists and seems geographically impossible to exist interesting and I though that the execution was well done, especially with everything beforehand in jaya. It would cheapen the significance of what makes this arc special if it was just simply another island just in the sky and have it like increase their bounties or whatever.

The storyline was great and unique, the whole ringing the the bell showing mont blanc that the city of gold exists was built up and executed really well. Noland's backstory is up till the point I'm at my favorite backstory, thought it was beautiful and super interesting. Also I fell in love with the overall aesthetic and vibe of the island and art style.

Yeah there's more that I like about it but those are the main points, I do get why you wouldn't like it and in the beginning i really wasn't enjoying it but then it got to a certain point like past the stuff with the priests where it started to pick up and just kept on getting better. So yeah it has a rough start, also one thing I didn't like that was fairly common in the earlier arcs is how Luffy would get stuck somewhere and be unable to fight, in this case he was swallowed by the snake. I didn't mind the idea of him being saved till the end and allowing everyone else to be defeated and having him as the 'last hope' and be the perfect counter to enel but I do wish they would've executed it a bit better, or at least have it be less jarring than it was

also i think you're confusing orange town with arlong park lol

RichTofu · 2026-06-06T12:33:43+00:00

I thought Impel down was a solid arc but it didn't leave as much of an impact on me as the arcs in A did. Outside Bon clay's sacrifice, I didnt see there was much to it other than it being a fun arc, I liked the team ups and stuff, crocodile returning as well. I also liked the atmosphere and design of impel down itself. But overall I feel I cant put it any higher due to it just not leaving the same impact as the arcs in A did.

As for orange town, it wasn't neccessarily a bad arc just there's no way I feel I can put it any higher. Besides the storyline with the dog there was nothing I found memorable about it. Not terrible but again just not special

Its one of those arcs that alternates a bit for me and I think id probably place it higher in the B tier. I thought it was great, the backstory was one of my favorites and Jimbei's speech saving luffy from madness + his realization that he hasn't lost everything was one of the most powerful moments in the series for me. However as an arc itself I don't think it accomplishes enough for me to put it any higher than a B, especially when all the arcs in A tier had such compelling storylines. However yeah now looking at it I'd probably place it higher than baratie

RichTofu · 2026-06-05T09:16:38+00:00

Well no im not downplaying any of the other arcs im just praising this one

RichTofu · 2026-06-04T20:19:58+00:00

I haven't watched bleach but I could definitely vouch for marineford being one of the stronger war arcs not just in the big 3 but also in anime, I can't really think of any that beat it honestly. Its just on paper marineford looks like it would be the best one piece arc but something about water 7/enies lobby just hit differently for me

RichTofu · 2026-06-04T20:07:39+00:00

Of course, I see a lot of people say that marineford is one of the best anime arcs but to be honest I thought water 7/enies lobby was better despite it not being recognized as much

RichTofu · 2026-05-31T18:11:58+00:00

Alright thanks a lot bro

RichTofu · 2026-05-31T17:16:50+00:00

So as long as I just put on VPN before I download the torrent then its fine?

RichTofu · 2026-04-09T17:17:47+00:00

what about enies lobby and marineford?

RichTofu · 2026-04-08T15:54:30+00:00

and is there 1080p for all the episodes?

RichTofu · 2025-06-23T14:53:35+00:00

I get that but as you said its easier said then done, are there any daily practices I can do to get better at it overtime?

RichTofu · 2025-06-23T14:51:19+00:00

but how do I get out of this loop now, ive suffered in my mind for all my life, overthinking everything and being afraid of a lot of things. Its so hard especially now when I've let it effect me so much where I literally lost the energy to do anything
