I just can't wait for it to get to the Marineford stuff. I'm really interested in seeing how they animate it and, to be honest, I really don't like the excessively silly (even for One Piece) character designs of many of the Impel Down antagonists. I really find it hard to care about who wins out of Luffy and a gormless rhinoceros or Luffy and a farting poison man.
Not to be too hard on Impel Down, because it's not
that bad, but it could also be completely removed from the storyline and the plot would still flow in more or less the same way, just like Thriller Bark. All it does is provide a way for Luffy to gather allies for Marineford, but there's any number of ways to write that into the story. The main focus of the arc, rescuing Ace, didn't materialise and so it feels kinda redundant for me.
it's important because it shows how much luffy wants to save his bro and gaining allies and it gives way so it can be silly when it gets all serious in marineford. i think the mmarineford is going to be a movie.
