Having just completed a massive 200 chapter One Piece catch up I am both happy that be able to join the discussion each week and sad that I now have only one new chapter to read each week.
Punk Hazard has really lived up to my high expectations after hearing how awesome everyone kept saying it was. That combined with the anime's current sluggish pacing really motivated me to catch up. And after reading so many chapters in a row I still find it amazing that Oda is so overflowing with ideas that he has to stuff as much content as he can into each chapter. There is so much going on in every chapter managing to follow several different threads without ever becoming confusing. After so much of the minimalist approach of Bleach that can barely manga to focus on one thing at a time it's quite refreshing to read something with an author that can actually juggle the plot threads he's set up.
