And that wasn't even a fight, but a playback recording of a fight. FFS. Same here. As horribly padded and paced as early Shittuden was, things at least happened, maybe one thing, every episode. But this... good lord.

Yeah, I legitimately like Kurapika and Leorio, but the show is so mind-numbingly dull, plus they aren't even in this arc. Somebody said Hiatus is a "slow burn." To what? There's not even a flicker. NOTHING HAS HAPPENED. And they forget, build up should be interesting, actually good. But again, I don't sense it even building to anything. If it is, it's slower than even early Shittuden, because JUST NOW, THIRTY PLUS EPISODES IN, they're explaining the powers and how everything works... via extremely boring characters as slowly as possible, of course. It's way too little, too late. :D :D :D

As nonsensical and shitty as it was, I think DW actually got decent ratings, but that was probably due to its placement.

"Your real nightmare is in the New World." There we go again. So I guess they didn't have to beat Moria into submission and force him to give up the shadows? He just barfs them back up?

"I won't be hammered down!" "Rubber bounces back!" Haha, what Luffy said was kinda corny and cheesy, but ya' gotta love it! ;D Suck it, Moria! Oh yeah, we're seeing Moria actually fight himself, but of course, he had to roid himself up with all those shadows... the big coward. Demonic wheezing Moria... Appealing to her own shadow... it might work? Moria's control... not absolute? Well, we saw this with Cindrey. "IF YOU REALLY WANT TO BE THE SHADOW OF THE KING OF THE PIRATES! THEN SHAPE UP, AND COME BACK, NOW!"

Well yes but he can't be smashed into paste like a normal human. At least probably not.

I see. That seems like it would be kind of dumb and cheesy and make Crocodile less badass.

Yeah crushing a Rubber Man won't work, haha. Well, cutting, and we know Luffy is vulnerable to fire and ice.

Umm how can you crush Luffy? He's a Rubber Man. Did this guy not watch the show?!

Don't think that was in the Funi dub.

Sucking in the shadows was a desperate move to buy time? Eh? Oh, Second Gear! Moria's belching up shadows from getting blasted by Luffy! Ah so he's losing consciousness and becoming mindless from overfilling himself with shadows, thus losing shadows!

LOL that ugly guy with the big hair... he's either the tree or the lion, I bet.

I don't remember that.

Moria sounds like a horse with emphysema.

Nice. I did love Thriller Bark, though. But I'm looking forward to seeing what's coming. By the way, I have no idea when I'll get around to getting current with One Piece. I have a fuckton of gaming, watching, and reading backlogs. x_x

Hey, a new OP! "WE ARE" returns in a new form! Oh yeah, that's right, we got this last time. It's been so long, One Piece! :'(

Well I was like OH FUCK as soon as I realized Sasuke wouldn't be brought back in one arc and that this would be a thing going for the whole series, with him being a villain and "rescuing Sasuke" being one of the series end goals. Bleh. But yeah, things could still be decent with the non-Sasuke-centered stuff, I guess... BUT NOW X_X

Oh okay, haha. Yeah guess the toilet thing wasn't technically "farting", haha.

Good lord. And what the fuck is the point of making Itachi look sympathetic, anyway? I didn't think it was possible, but Kishimoto ruined an already pretty shitty story!

So, I guess Kishimoto has had this plot twist planned at least since the big Naruto and Sasuke fight at the end of Part 1. If he knew the other giant statue facing Senju was Madara, I guess. Either way, this is mind-bogglingly, mind-numbingly, infuriatingly idiotic.

Really? So the thing with him drinking sour milk and being stuck in the toilet was filler?

OH MY GOD THIS IS FUCKING RETARDED! So all the Uchihas were traitors bent on coup d'etat? Everyone? Every single ninja? Every man, woman, and child? Even the civilians and children that Itachi killed?

It wasn't trash when it turned into the Sasuke Show in Part 1?

"For decades, I cultivated a gaseous bloodline that would culminate in Naruto. His noxious farts were all a part of my plan!"

Well yeah, because otherwise, Naruto is bizarrely obsessed with a co-worker he was on "friendly terms" with, at best. They don't come off as "best friends" at all. Plus there was that fangirl-teasing "accidental kiss" in the first episode. But no, we mustn't have this show make sense!
