I agree that an important part of the manga is how they're big fish in a small pond and can wreck anyone but smoker. That makes it so that when they get to face people like crocodile, kuzan, cp9 and kuma they are extremely humbled and need to constantly reinvent themselves in order to stay relevant.
Apart from that I think they missed the ball on luffys character, but I haven't gotten to arlong park yet so maybe he can redeem himself.
Helmeppo and Buggy are being totally nailed, and are the reason I tolerate the extra screen time they're getting.
Yeah interesting they went with the Garp and Coby. Buggy is weird. Not sure how that would fit with his normal arc. Just falling upwards but being useless.
I don't mind the abridged version. Gets to the point but don't change key aspects. Why the usopp nose. Do some proper fight scenes.
You gotta know what to cut and what to keep. I think they can do alabasta in 10 eps but what will they keep. It's a long arc.
How the fuck will they do chopper. Fishmen were on but Arlong just doesn't look scary. Chopper will be a mess
To be fair, Arlong isn't really scary in the manga either with his Hawaii shirt and ski hat.
But he is. He wrecks Luffy, Luffy is outclassed. His first difficult opponent. Luffy only wins due to plot. He was underwater. He should have died.
Arlongs was scary. Hi bites Luffy. Rips his teeth out and uses them as weapons. Stabs Luffy with his nose. He's a scary guy. Looks chill then boom.
I disagree. If Luffy hadn't burrowed himself in the beginning of the fight it wouldn't have been any issue. As soon as Luffy gets serious after seeing Namis room he completely wrecks Arlong. He even breaks his weapon like it was nothing.
Yeah he needs to fight harder because Arlong is a. Opponent of high level. He tried out some things and almost died.
