I watched the whole thing and I really enjoyed it. They really tried to translate it to people unfamiliar or uninterested in anime/manga and I think they did a great job of it. I think the flow was okay. 8 eps to cover all of East Blue is not much time.

I think the thing that got me the most hyped before it was out was Oda’s seal of approval. It’s a good series and they already introduced a heap of characters.

Once thing that keeps coming up in my small circle is the amount of screentime ::: Garp and Koby ::: have. I was okay with it - maybe it’s the Hollywood direction/way while others felt it detracted from the story. I didn’t event click ::: Django was left out of it. But there is still hope for him to pop up down the track. ::: I guess it’s difficult to balance when there are so many important characters that have been introduced and you don’t want to overwhelm new fans.

Thanks for making this community! I’m sad I left reddit and r/AustralianTeachers behind. It was a great community. Here’s hoping we can build this one up.

I used to listen to Filling the Pail by Greg Ashman but I think he hasn’t done any new eps for a while. So I’m going through ERRR now. Dr Ollie Lovell’s podcast is so good.

I keep doing it. I only deleted it off my home screen today and now there’s a “RiFt” on my screen :( I don’t have the heart to uninstall it yet.
