Cinnabon Isle Arc - I read this thread back when it was featured the first time and I really enjoyed it. My impressions of the posts that were made since then are no different. In fact, if anything, I would say they are even better than the earlier ones.
The nice thing about this arc is that it's just a plain fun read. This is partially because Luffy's writing perfectly matches the atmosphere he aims for. I particularly enjoyed the fight scenes, who's descriptions were equally as (no pun intended) flashy as the fights themselves. They were described quite in detail, but without ever getting too bogged down and disrupting the fast pace. While I'm on the subject, I would also like to note that the author has a really impressive vocabulary. I'd almost say it's actually a bit overwhelming how the reader is bombarded with all sorts of different phrases in practically every sentence.
Other things I liked were the unique personalities of the different Pokémon. While none of them are particularly deep or unique, they do just enough to make the various Pokémon seem different in more than just appearance. Also, I liked the twist with the kitten being able to turn into a powerful creature and helping the crew in their most dire moment. Again, nothing we haven't seen before, but it's nice that the cat isn't just background scenery and actually plays some role in the plot.
Michael's posts were decent, but come off as rather simple compared to Luffy's posts. However, he does at least seem to be in tune with the tone and atmosphere of the rest of the thread, so his posts didn't feel out of place. I hope his participation will help him improve, since with enough practice, I think he could definitely become a valuable RP partner.
