Good episode.
The direction was as nice as aniticpated.
Really good use of colours and imagery. Stuff like Luffy running through the gates was fantastic, and I loved the use of backgrounds and silhouettes. The humour was also spot on.
Again, Koyama continues to be the best regular director on the series.
Feel like the animators may have struggled with the storyboard though.
Not much was really shown in the preview for next week.
