I watched the whole thing and I really enjoyed it. They really tried to translate it to people unfamiliar or uninterested in anime/manga and I think they did a great job of it. I think the flow was okay. 8 eps to cover all of East Blue is not much time.

I think the thing that got me the most hyped before it was out was Oda's seal of approval. It's a good series and they already introduced a heap of characters.

Once thing that keeps coming up in my small circle is the amount of screentime

Garp and Koby

have. I was okay with it - maybe it's the Hollywood direction/way while others felt it detracted from the story. I didn't event click

Django was left out of it. But there is still hope for him to pop up down the track.

I guess it's difficult to balance when there are so many important characters that have been introduced and you don't want to overwhelm new fans.

Edit: I'm bad at spoiler tags

I think ITE needs to better equip new teachers coming in. How many of us find what we learnt at uni relevant to teaching? It's fine to look at that and I agree with what the findings are here. But don't sell it as a way to keep teachers in the profession or use the teacher shortage to shift attention away from your insufficient ITE courses.

Fixing this is a small bit of the puzzle that is fixing the broken education system.

Thanks for making this community! I'm sad I left reddit and r/AustralianTeachers behind. It was a great community. Here's hoping we can build this one up.

I used to listen to Filling the Pail by Greg Ashman but I think he hasn't done any new eps for a while. So I'm going through ERRR now. Dr Ollie Lovell's podcast is so good.

I keep doing it. I only deleted it off my home screen today and now there's a "RiFt" on my screen :( I don't have the heart to uninstall it yet.
