It would be an amazing episode, but...
We don't need recaps! For several episodes now we have around 5 minutes of memories about previous arc. We all know the promise made by Jimbe, we all know the story of Ace... we remember, we have good memory. Don't treat the audience this way.
And there is a recap of previous episode, obviously and long-ass opening already in the episode. So who needs more stuff that we have already seen?
New episode supposes to give new material.
Also the pacing overall was slow. Discussion of the plan by one group and going with no plan by another.
That's it!
On the good note, though, the animation is decent. I also liked new mid episode short animations as well as new title cards for attacks. But that's it. It is not something outstanding to overweight disadvantage of the episode.
At least next episode should be dope.
