a. not getting a s2
b. that is the dumbest shit ive read all my life, unless they plan on stopping the series after alabasta
1 ep would cover loguetown and reverse mountain
then 1 ep for each of the irrelevant lead up "arcs"
why would they need more than 4-6 (if they extend to 10 eps) episodes for an arc that could be condensed in half in the anime
