I want to preface this review by saying, if you're not already a die-hard One Piece fan, this movie has next to nothing for you.ĭespite my fairly limited Japanese ability, I was able to comprehend the entire plot and the vast majority of the dialogue, (maybe to an extent of about 90% or so). I saw this movie in Japan with one of my friends a few days after it released, so I'll throw in my 2 cents. But, alas, our beloved One Piece has already become another victim of exploitation and exists for the sole purpose of selling merchandise, video games and plot-less films. Whatever the reason, I always hope for at least a decent plot and not some unreasonable fights with gibberish dialogs like in this movie. Maybe it's the nostalgia, the need to know the ending or maybe just to see some random adventure of this crew. I do not know why I still keep watching this anime. Maybe this story required 2 parts and more time to do it correctly.Īnd all the aforementioned come from an One Piece fan that loves it since grade school. This film could have had SO much potential (and I can't emphasize this enough!) due to the festival setting and the story of one of Roger's former crew-mates, but they managed to ruin it and create a "stampede" of already well known characters who begged for screen time and nothing more. It was fairly alright until Bullet decided to go full Mechagodzilla style which, in my humble opinion, destroyed my already low interest in this movie. A few fight scenes looked quite silly, but those were few and far apart. An otherwise stressful moment of Usopp being hurt by this insanely strong enemy, was ruined when it was not shown properly so that the viewer will feel fear or compassion for this long-nosed character.įight animation wise it was. Come and watch it." I mean they introduce a person like Bullet and he does absolutely nothing other than shout "I strive to be the strongest!" Sooo original! In addition, how he enters the scene is boring enough to revert your eyes from the screen. "Oh, look! We have all those cool characters in our anime. It seemed more like a really long One Piece commercial that a movie. Seriously, even One Piece Movie 6 had more humor and its basically a psychological Nevertheless, the thing that ticked me off the most was that I found 0% funny scenes. For instance, they are all on a huge freaking island and they just keep 'stumbling across' one another at the right moment. So many coincidences it's actually ridiculous. Brainless plot, abrupt start & ending, bad use of characters, no heartfelt incidents, no meaningful turning points, dialogs that made me facepalm myself and so, so many coincidences throughout this movie. Though I had high hopes for this one, unfortunately it turned out to be quite horrible.
