One Piece Episode 411

[Penner]

Decent ep, but did they miss to sub a few short phrases here and there?

And Luffys 'narration' at the next ep preview wasnt subbed either, or did MPC mess things up on my side? ;P

Was the royal assistant person there voiced by the same person as Chopper?

Also, I've never liked Oda's character designs, but the amazons are particularly terrible. Half of them look like bobbleheads. And no, it's not the anime's fault, they look like that in the manga too.

I don't know, it just freaked me out to see the Amazons move. Every one of them is deformed.

How is the uncanny valley applicable here? The amazon characters look completely inhuman, but they still freak you out. Isn't that the opposite of the Uncanny valley?

They're not so inhuman though. They're just freakishly out of proportion.

From that Wikipedia article, "A similar problem exists in realistic 3D computer animation, such as with the films Final Fantasy: The Spirits Within,[3] The Polar Express,[3] and Beowulf.[4]"

Also, the Valley explicitly contains "distorted" representations of humans, like puppets and zombies.
