One Piece 312

Just finished watching One Piece episode 312.

Strange, Going Merry's voice sounds a lot like the voice actor playing Robin when she was 8 years old. I know the voice actor of Robin when she was a child is a 15-year-old girl named Nagai Anzu, but no idea who played Going Merry. Not like I can find it anyway. No one's gonna freaking put a "This ship is voiced by [insert voice actor here]." in Wikipedia, it'd just freak noobs out. "LIEK ZOMG TEH SH1P C4N T4LK?!?!?!!?1/1!??!/1/!"

There is also a noticeable change of artwork. Now it looks awfully like the animation techniques used for One Piece movie 7. The change in artwork also made Nami and Robin look more beautiful, cute and sexy as well, lol! XD Maybe I should post some pictures when I have time later... :3

Ok, here goes! Pictures time!



























Oh, and I like how they expand the flashbacks when Going Merry was burned from the manga, lol. I'll compile a list, and denote which one is also in the manga, while which ones are anime-exclusive, just for the sake of it.

Luffy's
-Kaya and Merry presenting the Going Merry to Luffy, Zoro and Nami
-Luffy announcing that the pirate ship is complete after Usopp adds the Jolly Roger onto the sails
-Luffy, Zoro, Nami and Usopp drinking, "Cheers to a new ship and a new nakama." [anime only]

Nami's
-Nami lecturing to Luffy, Zoro and Usopp that Going Merry has suffered a damage and that they should be more careful from then on after beating them up
-Luffy and Usopp shooting the rocky island Johnny and Yosaku were on after Zoro had the dream on his past with Kuina

Zoro's
-Zoro sleeping on figurehead. Luffy complains as that is supposed to be his seat (funny, I don't remember when that is...)
-Luffy, Zoro, Sanji, Nami and Usopp seeing the lighthouse at the Reverse Mountain before setting sail to the Grand Line
-Declaration of their dreams while putting their feet on a barrel before Reverse Mountain [anime only]

Sanji's
-Nami briefing that the Reverse Mountain is the entrance to the Grand Line [lol, that was Zoro's in the manga]
-Encountering the Sea Kings in the Calm Belt [that was Zoro's too in the manga, rofl. Funnily, I don't remember when they go into the Calm Belt in the manga...] Apis was also added in the anime, lol. Didn't expect to see an anime filler character in this flashback, that's for sure XD
-Climbing up the Reverse Mountain [Sanji, you bad boy, stealing Zoro's flashbacks XD]

Sogeking's [Awww, Sogeking didn't have any in the manga]
-Remember the huge dolphin that came out after Vivi complains that Luffy, Usopp, Zoro and Sanji are all too relaxed, despite being in the Grand Line, then the four immediately jump off and do the necessary to prevent the ship from sinking due to the great waves the giant dolphin conjured when it jumped up and back down? Yup, this is it. [anime only] Vivi and Carue make cameos, lol
-The crew encounters a huge water tornado, somewhere during when Nami falls sick before Drum Island if I aren't mistaken [anime only]
-The ship flying out of the giant goldfish after Brogy and Dorry cut it up after it ate the ship. It was Zoro's in the manga, but it makes more sense with Sogeking, lol, seeing that after all, Little Garden was an important aspect of Usopp's personal storyline

Robin's [She didn't have any in the manga too, so sad lol]
-Requesting to join the Straw Hat Pirates, remarking that she does not have anywhere to go. Luffy agrees simply (then again, after looking at him invite skeletons, zombies, trees, and all those weird shits in Thriller Bark, do you think he would reject Robin? XD), causing Nami, Usopp and Zoro (who disagree), to shout angrily, and Sanji to shout happily XD
-Going Merry flying up into Sky Island [it was Sanji's in the manga, lol]

Chopper's
-The Going Merry dropping from Skypiea to Grand Line, was heavily expanded on in the anime, lol. Conis and Pagaya were saying goodbye, then the ship freefalls, everyone's eyeballs pop up, lol, and the balloon octopus came, then they fall into G8. There's only the balloon octupus part in manga

Luffy: "Usopp tried to fix you [Going Merry] up, but he sucked at it too!"
Damn, that's what I call humour in sadness XD

Episode 312's gonna be one of my favorite episodes of One Piece, lol. So emotional... T__T I'm not crying, idiots! *Franky impression* XD

Yay, now I have one more favorite episode, together with the existing Episode 273, where Luffy pwns Blueno with Gear Second, lol.

Oh, and I was watching Doraemon on TV just now, lol. Doraemon fell in love with a cat, but he met with a stronger love rival, so he was like, "Oh my freaking God! I'm gonna freaking bomb him!" and takes out a freaking ATOMIC BOMB from his POCKET!! Who the hell keeps atomic bombs inside his or her pockets?? XD XD

But hey, he has a good point. *stocks up atomic bombs in case of love rivals incoming*
