Crossbones got to see the premire today.

I'm back!!!

One word review: So-so. Is that one word or two words?...

I'll come back and elaborate. But lots of special guests at the premiere, including the most specialist of guests!

Ok. First to show up were the two comedians who you might have seen in the trailers. The woman walked up by herself. I almost didn't recognize her dressed normally without makeup. The guy came later in a car and bolted into the theater. By the way, this was early so I was almost the only one there. Later when the line grew and show time got closer, the seiyu and costumed mugiwara crew walked in. Same as last year. Then, right before they let us in the one and only EIICHIRO ODA(I think he deserves bold all caps) walked right by me very casually with two other guys. One of them shook his hand and congratulated him on the movie and then the three of them went in. I don't think people expected him to walk through in front of the theater so nonchalantly. I didn't see anyone notice him.

As for the movie. First they showed a Dr.Slump short which was ok and in that short they introduced the One Piece movie. That was a nice touch. Music first. I think there are a couple of new pieces but I'd say 90% of the score was taken from the other movies. I specifically noticed pieces from M2, 3, 5 and a lot from 6 and 7. Maybe there was stuff from 4 but I can't remember. Also there were a couple of classic OP tracks from the TV show. So I don't know what the CD will be like. Maybe a best of movie or something. On the cheap Toei! Ironically, they didn't use the Movie 2 track that opened all the Arabasta episodes in the TV show. The ending theme is kind of forgettable. I'll buy it anyway 'cause I'm an idiot.

Animation:Overall, it was ok but I was really surprised at how weak it was in so many places. Some of the drawing was pretty disappointing, compared to the other movies. Usually, the characters looked very similar to the Movie 7 style(sans bouncy boobies), but a couple of times, especially at the end of the Luffy/Croc fight, it looks a lot like Movie 6: animation and actual scenes, but only briefly. Really inconsistent animation, imo. Probably a lot of people won't care about this, though. It's just me. The story is really compressed, of course. It often felt rushed and not as well paced as other movies. I might have felt different had I not already seen the entire TV arc though. The action scenes were uninspiring for the most part. Choreography was of the action was just boring too often. Zoro's fight was a little better than the others, imo.

No Smoker and Ace, btw.

LOTS of CG.

For some K-F people this movie could be a problem because there are Robin spoilers from her past. So if you're not caught up with the manga or raws, you will be spoiled.

This part I'm not sure about but after the credits there's a very brief clip showing all the latest, updated mugiwara bounties as shown in the recent manga chapters and I THINK it's an announcement for Movie 9. That's right. It went by fast, so it was hard to follow but that was my impression. We'll have to see if other people saw it to confirm. Maybe Dythim.

Anyway, I know this review sounded harsh but I'm very picky when it comes to animation, so don't be too discouraged. Actually, it was fun to watch. The story is great. There were indeed some really good scenes. So yeah, there's more to say but I can't think of everything now.

By the way, for K-Fers who read my reviews for M6 and M7, the weird guy who talks to himself was there again! Aaaagh! Right in front of me in line. But this time I think I gained some insight. He's not actually talking to himself but to someone else.......who's not there. :/

Merchandise pics and program scans coming soon.

Man Spandam has got to be the most annoying character in OP. Anyway, he takes Robin to the bridge. Franky meets up with Luffy. Zoro goes two swords, one sword and gorilla mode. Aaand we get the pasta machine. Lots 'o good Zoro action. More in #300.

Screencaps in a few minutes. No raw from me this week. My hard drive's almost full. :/ But They did have a commercial for Unlimited Adventure, so maybe I'll put that up.

Oh yeah, I forgot to mention. I saw this girl from my work there who had tickets to see the first show with all the guests on stage. She won them in the drawing they have every year. I didn't even know she liked One Piece. Small world, huh?

Here are some scans and pics...

Program scans. The pics are big, so I zipped them all up HERE, if you want to see the big versions.

~~~BIG NEWS~~~~

I heard rumors from a VERY RELIABLE SOURCE of new intro and ending at episode 300. :D

Well, guess what DIDN'T happen in episode 300. Reliable source, my ***.

Anyways...

-300-

Zoro and Kaku finally wrap things up, Robin tries to eat the bridge and Luffy gets steaming mad. Animation wasn't great. Some scenes looked pretty good but other shots were horrible. Could have been worse. Still, there were tons of great scenes packed into this episode. Really good.

Yeah 300 is gonna be sugeee i jus hope Zoro's Asura is animated as well or even better than Sanjis Diable Jambe.

You would think an episode with "Spandam" in the title and rife with recaps of flashbacks wouldn't have such a great payoff. But it did. SogePOW!!!

No new Pics from Crossbones this week, He accidentally slept through the episode and only caught the last 5 minutes of it.

But he did manage to get the next episode preview, Though there was an earthquake when the episode aired so its interrupted by the news.

(Next episode is another oyabun special anyway)

Check out this weeks preview and loads of other One Piece related videos at my page on youtube

Heh. They put Tackey & Tsubasa in the opening animation. That must be what they're adding to the CD release.

Oooh! More importantly. Next week looks awesome!

EDIT: Here are the screencaps. Big "Sanji's left eye" moment. And some very promising shots of next weeks episode. The special was really good. Animation was great, especially the end fight which was short but looked cool. There were a lot of nice cherry blossom effects.

I gear 2, Luffy can p'wn everything. I'm starting to think Gear 2>>>>Gear 3.

Gear 3 is fine, and all, but it has MAJOR drawbacks

If Luffy didn't have food with him Gear 2nd would drain all of his energy. But in my opinion Gear 2nd looks much cooler than Gear 3rd.

Which is why the manga is better.

The animation could be better in One Piece, and all the filling and dragging out they atr doing recently is annoying.
