Though I guess there hasn’t been as much dynamic action in the season yet, so I might just be too used to the constant high energy state of season 3.

fuck animation's a lot of work
Great story that.
It takes a bit to get used to, but I ended up liking it better once it got to the tournament.
There are some really nice cuts in s4 (though I think the last point in s3 is still the most impressive thing in the show).
there's a reason they're usually bad CGI these days
I watched it after UBW and Zero. It felt like a 90s anime to me for some reason. Lots of weird environment shots that panned slightly too fast.
I liked the music though
EDIT: Scratch that, I thought you were talking about the original FSN series, not the UBW movie. I haven't seen that.
The OG FSN series is extremely 90s and, personally, very bad.
I feel like in the beginning the kids were mostly just being kids. Like Shoya is basically the class clown, and him starting to bully her is very much from that same instinct
It was the teacher who was signalling that this deaf girl sucks and it's OK to be mean to her.
There's a reason that Amigas running Video Toaster were a staple of the broadcast world for years.
You got me thinking about something in One Piece though, I think Luffy's enemies-turned-allies are actually much rarer than Goku or Naruto's. I can't actually think of any character he has beat up and then won over as a rival and then a friend in the Goku fashion, characters like Vegeta or Piccolo or Buu or Yamcha or Tien. The rare antagonists that become allies are typically either just opportunistic characters in the first place, or good people who are being forced to do bad things against their will by a bigger bad who's absolutely maniacally evil and whom Luffy goes on to defeat. It's actually incredibly rare for outright villains to be turned into recurring characters at all in One Piece compared to most shonen stories now that I think about it. Oda's preference just seems to be to write very morally black and white, irredeemable villains who are brought to justice and then exit the plot; and he relatively rarely dips back into the existing character pool to bring back an old villain for new plot arcs that might allow them to have character growth past that initial state, preferring to bring back a couple of allies and come up with 20 new characters in most arcs instead. He seems to just love making new character designs for the sake of it to some degree and I respect that.
There are some villains he's done stuff with in the cover page arcs though. Wapol (or whatever his name is) basically got turned around into an industrial tycoon (exploiting his fruit to produce things) and iirc shows up at Reverie eventually. But this is still all in side stuff.

Did you also get a chance to watch the Loki familia side season?
It's not really side stuff, watch for the opening page in a chapter, it's usually featuring a side character scene that's canon. This is how you can see things like Cypher Pol after Enies Lobby, Wapo starting his company, and a bunch of others. They're all single scenes but when you connect them together they form a little story

This will be here until I receive an apology or Weedlordvegeta get any consequences for being a bully
I absolutely agree that One Piece doesn't have the same outright VILLAIN TURNED HERO that DBZ or Naruto can deal in
But you do still get stuff like Smoker, who while not a villain is definitely an antagonist of Luffy, who gradually respects Luffy and both works with him and turns a blind eye to stuff he wouldn't have and its almost always just due to Luffy being strong as hell and also not a complete scumbag rather than any real emotional connection
I don't think One Piece is without emotional stakes or relationships, (Oda LOVES drawing people ugly crying, after all) but they are often in very broad strokes and without a ton of nuance behind them. Which isn't bad! That's just the kind of series it is.
Meanwhile Naruto dealt in themes like childhood isolation, the damage that bullying and ostracizing can do to someone and the bonds that can form when common ground is met and it feels fairly different to me.
I loved DBZ and One Piece, my notes towards them weren't meant to be taken as trashing them, but they absolutely feel from The Before Times before Naruto opened up the floodgates to a more openly emotional and vulnerable protagonist and stakes.
Thanks for reading it!!
Well, as long as there's no more pressing issue. I think he might conveniently prioritize things in such a case... maybe. But he's a great example of the non-villain antagonist. He's a genuinely decent person, but the rules of society put him at odds with Luffy.

That doesn't mean he won't arrest Luffy eventually, but he has absolutely developed a grudging respect for the dude and let some things slide that his job technically doesn't allow.
Zolo was clearly supposed to have a whole friendly rivalry thing going on with Smoker's number two helper girl but it feels like that... got lost somewhere along the way.
Yeah, I think his first appearance is like... the end of Alabasta and then he gets the credit because god forbid a pirate be a hero? And he's disgusted at that.

and among other things, the anime club's entire collection of VHS fansubs was inside.
there were something like 80 tapes, most of them completely irreplaceable.
it definitely wasn't, like, the greatest tragedy on campus, but it was very sad.
god, power is just the worst
gotta love her
Oh wow the keyboardist for Super Soul Bros apparently played organ in this.
