| ya it was rather dull for almost the whole thing. I did like the part where Oyabun (Luffy) crashed down in front of Buggy's crew after Usopp had predicted it. But other than that it was boring. |

| Don't think they mean to make this very special. It's entertaining though. |

| This setting was like a dream come true for me :) Edo Era (somewhat) meets One Piece: Grand Zipangu! It literally took me over an hour to finish this, so many screenshots (Kimino FTW) ^^. Vivi <3 Chief Luffy and Usopp! Nami and Sanji working the restaurant! DR. Chopper. The Buggy Clan. Robin in the shadows. OH YEAH, RUROUNI ZORO FTW!!!! LMFAO! (That guy has truly proved himself) One Piece! |

| Somewhat entertaining, but kind of dull. I liked the first half more than the second. It was nice to see older characters again. I wish Robin got a bigger role. |

| I loved the setting, although we I would rather have something more about Robin. |

| This Zipangu-themed one was fun, it had its moments that could only be pulled off in this setting. 8/10 |

| Had already watched during the "Great Binge" but it was a fun rewatch! |

| First ep was really good and funny. The second despite the great animation was kinda dull and repetitive. More focus on Robin would have been better. |

| Watched after episode 516 Out of continuity special in a different setting outside of the pirate era but with the same characters, just different backgrounds and characteristics. Lacks an engaging plot and the threat was defeated at least 3 times so there was no stakes at all. Not a massive fan of the idea this goes in and I know there is 5 episodes after this that i skipped for this occasion but based on this, it will be pointless filler. I hope it won't be, this just is not that fun or entertaining compared to the main story arcs. |

| Always hated these filler episodes, so colour me surprised when I was enjoying the first half of this episode. It starts off a little annoying, but there are some solid jokes here, starting from Luffy explaining he stole the money from the counterfeiters. I also enjoyed other bits like Nami's pray, or giving Sanji's the Buggy low blow. It was also cool to see Gedatsu and Hachi show up, especially Gedatsu. Despite the alternate universe aspect of these episodes, I feel they never took much advantage to give us unique character interactions. The fight with Hachi was kinda dumb, but the Luffy/Gedatsu stuff was a lot more fun. I also really like the bit of the episode early on where Sanji's simping actually was working on Nami but Sanji ruined it by immediately changing targets to the girl customers that walked in. That's a pretty funny twist to Sanji's gag, and one that only really works in an alternate universe setting. It's a shame that it's like, one of the only jokes like that. Probably would've gave this a 7 if it was just the first half, but the second half was rather dull, and the Vivi failing at serving them tea/food was painfully unfunny. Probably liked that half about a 4, so that averages out to a 5.5 and I like rounding up so 6/10. |
