Ice Hunter Arc

What do you guys think of this filler arc? It's not the best material but at least it's better than Naruto and Bleach fillers. :P

I've been waiting for other people to tell me if it's safe before I jump in. One Piece at times has some very weak and painful filler to sit through... I'm not getting good vibes from "it's better than Naruto and Bleach fillers." So I'm still undecided. Over the years I've learned that sometimes it's just best to skip em.

The "Ice Hunter" arc is going to carry into 08, and end sometime shortly after that, from what i've heard. I watched 236-237, which is the start of the arc, and after the high I came down on from the Enies Lobby arc.... well, it gets a 'better than nothing' rating. It's watchable at the very least, untill the Thriller Bark arc starts. (Which should be epic)

Pretty much ANYTHING after Enies lobby is going to be a let down but the first few eps look promising; although I have a high threshold for crap.
In all honesty there is none of the "gotta see the next episode" anticipation that you get from a canon arc but the episodes so far aren't boring and the fights haven't started yet so it can still improve.I read somewhere that it is a 13 ep arc so you can prob take a wait and see attitude.

New episode coming out in a few days and the fighting is going to start. :D

do any of you know if the shark submarine used in episode 329 is canon material or made up?

Nothing in the arc is going to be cannon, it's all filler. (I.e, that's the point of it being filler.)
