Loved it, better than S1.

I'm also doing a reread that's lagging a bit behind the show, I just got to the end of little garden in the manga reread but finished S2. The number of little details they got and things I misremembered because I haven't read it in so long is kind of nuts.

I thought the casting for chopper was waay better than I was expecting. I remember one of the trailers as being a bit stilted and stiff acting, but the acting for chopper was probably the best in the season in my opinion (besides maybe Mr 3). First time seeing heavy point I was a bit put off by what they did with the face, but it grew on my by the end.

Robin was great, but her big scene when she greets the straw hats before little garden hit this snag that a lot of dialogue in that episode had where it was a bit rushed, and the exposition fell a bit flat. The rest of her scenes were great. She does the intrigue part of Robin so well.

I thought David Dasmalchian was super good as Mr 3, less of a fan of what they did with Ms Goldenweek but I kind of chalk it up to them trying to fit it into western tropes and missing. Its unfortunate, because they generally have trusted the audience with off the wall characters, wish they did that here though she wasn't super fleshed out in the manga, so they likely just wanted to try making a character they could explore more, even if it was completely different from the original character.

Charitra Chandan was great, really gave off the right vibe for the role and the way they portrayed Vivi wasn't as cringey as I was expecting (no weapons coming out of her nipples).
