I'm probably out of touch already but was there a change in the presentation of @OZ works? I know maybe around the Kill La Kill one onwards, they started to all be presented in this video box with buttons format that I really didn't like... Anyways, which ones were your favourites? Maybe I oughta try re-watching some @OZ works, the relatively new one with 2 sisters caught my attention but I resisted like I'm resisting sailormoon haha! I guess it can't be helped? Manga creators, early into their manga wouldn't attempt to make long and deep backstories without the certainty that their manga would last. But I think it started to stabilize and Oda probably got more confidence to churn out better content.
@Vinceras, you've prolly gotten people saying this to you before so I hope I'm not being annoyingly repetitive! >< But I agree that the first 20 episodes were pretty forgettable, in fact almost all the AMVs/ASMVs on the net also ignore these early villains like they never existed!
Anyway bullcrap aside, to me the Arlong arc had real sadness and purpose and a story of triumph, unfortunately starting 11 episodes from where you stopped. But to watch a condensed version of the arc, with better animation, 16:9 rather than 4:3, better music and less silly filler and humour quips (this could be good or bad depending on the individual), may I recommend theYou must be registered to see the links? It could practically count as a standalone movie, no need to have watched prior episodes and no need to continue after it ends.

I hope you don't mind me being out of place and kinda in your face! >< Just that I've had a few friends myself who couldn't get interested by watching the lower standard early episodes (compared to the other crazy animes out there today), so I've had to adjust my approach when recommending the manga!

Yeah I guess the Fishman Island Arc was pretty much just a curbstomp for them, it had to be I guess, post-timeskip and all... I liked how it played a little with the racism thing though and how the Fishmen/Mermen at the end could view a human as their hero.
May I ask what exactly about the Tifa one was out of place? Because at first glance of their dlsite page, the Tifa one caught my attention. (might be personal bias though
You're absolutely right that there is insufficient Chun-Li works out there. If you like her character though... Have you ever watchedYou must be registered to see the links? Forgive me if you already have, just that when talking about Chun-Li works, I remember that one quite vividly.
