Wow!!!!! The new opening has the best clips of whats ahead!! I can't wait!!
New opening in april
-
-
oh come on, at least a cameo or something, nothing major.
-
The openings jumped the shark after Brand New World. And now we're eating that shark for breakfast.

Hell yeahs.
16 Hell yeahs

I love how Luffy plows through an army of creatures the size of elephants without breaking stride!XDD
I never thought any level of animation could make a Korean boy band's song come across this level of badassery, but…I was wrong!This actually makes up for a lack of ending theme and ALMOST for no bird flippin' from Law.
-
That'd be worse than showing Robin as a member of the crew before it happens.
You'd instantly KNOW it was coming like 20 episodes or more before it does. :\ -
Yeah I suppose you may be right about that. I think that if they just showed him in a group portrait, you can figure out the other members of that photo for yourself, it would be ok. We get all kinds of those shots and think nothing of them. When the 5 elder stars appeared in the opening, I didn't expect them to start fighting lol.

This post is deleted!
-
Yeah, there are quite a few of the "regulars' missing from the intro. I think it's an intentional hint or meant to try even harder to surprise you when
! the reappear in the storyline.
-
OH SHI-
Although I don't think the music was upbeat enough when the crew was shown together at the end of the video, it matched the mood of the current events pretty good, and WOW! the animation is so fluid! I love the part where their names pop up on the screen, and there's small summaries of their roles in the background.Hats off for Toei.
-
Maybe, there's a good enough chance that you're right. The last thing I have to say about this into is OMG LUFFY'S MOM IS HOT IN COLOR.
! Seriously though, Hancock's cameo is serious business, and it lasts a long time. I have a nagging feeling that it's partially a spoiler for the manga as well. I don't ever remember an ally (that's not in the crew) getting that kind of facetime in an opening.
-
Hancock is like
! the current Vivi. And Vivi got a lot of screen-time in themes, so…
-
I wonder who made the summaries for the Straw Hats that appear during their screenshot. Whoever did that must dislike Usopp. *He talks a lot; very noisy man."
Opening is great. There was a lot of stuff in the opening that I was excited about. I hope the battle with "Kuma" will be as great and fluid as it was in the opening.
I'm surprised how well the song went with the animation. I still wish they chose a better song though.
-
@ultimateclima:

lol, i can't help but find it hilarious though. "Zoro is very cool" after all
Seriously, the thinking of an animator going "oh Christ i hate this noisy man. i'll so bash him in engrish in this opening" cracks me up.
-
Best animated One Piece opening EVAR!
FUCKING EPIC!
-
Spoilertastic,
Good animation,
Horrible song, they need to stop with this Korean obsession.

Haha that's hilarious. I agree with you about the fighting, but I have my doubts. Hopefully my doubts are wrong.
@Ao Kiji
! I can only find Vivi for about 0.5 seconds in all the openings before Robin joins the crew, which is the reason I mentioned it in the first place. Most of her face time in the opening came long after they left Arabasta behind.
-
^Maybe he's talking about the endings.
The music doesn't really fit the show, but somehow that doesn't prevent me from liking it in combination with the visuals.
-
I like this new opening. Looks awesome and I think its epic! Also, like the scenes near the end of the opening. Lastly, I like the song too. To me, it's catchy and it fits the new opening.
-

I think those are "english" descriptions from the various OP merchandise going around. The english is little more than decoration, I don't think it's intentionally malicious, but still..it's true.
I've seen the exact same stuff written on OP folders and all that "He is very strong and has dream. He and he crew in search of the One Piece is the dream."
Horrible song, they need to stop with this Korean obsession.
Well, most of the animation is done in Korea now, so it's only fair…
Urouge, I dunno. You could be right but I SERIOUSLY doubt anything will be ever be revealed or even hinted in the anime BEFORE the manga. Especially something important.
-
Wow… this is unusual... An opening featuring scenes I haven't read yet. I'm only 13 chapters behind (my job is taking most of my reading time), they really busted ass. I don't think any opening has been this close to the manga before.
I only have one real complain about the opening, and it's more about Toei: Marguerite has yellow hair instead of white.
-

I agree, it's totally a long shot, but you never know. Not to mention the chance that it's hinting at something by pure coincidence. I just found it a bit out of place when looking at the other openings in the past.
I'm also amused by how Luffy is falling off of the ship in Robin's shot.

I have no opinion on that particular part of the OP (well in regards to whether it has any meaning beyond the manga) but I wouldn't put it past the anime crew. We are very close to where the manga is at currently and Oda does keep in very good contact with the anime staff and the VA's. He has also gone out of his way to keep certain things extremely clear or emphasized. For instance how he gave away the information ahead of time to the anime staff of Rayleigh being in Buggys past so that they wouldn't mistakenly give him a title other than first mate.
But I would very much like your theory to be true as it would vindicate prediction #5 of my current 6 :). im 4/6 so far on them with the other 2 just simply not having time to germinate XD.
Edit: To also vindicate the other side of the arguement… they didn't give much emphasis on Franky at all till Brand New World >_> so it could very easily mean absolutely nothing lol. Especially since they emphasized Pauly in the fifth OP too heh.
-
I don't think Oda-sensei gives away much unless he knows there will be a huge inconsistency considering if he tells something to the anime team, there is a great chance it'll be leaked and spoil everything.
And considering Oda is the type of guy who created an entirely different version of Romance Dawn simply because he didn't want the secret of Shank's arm being seen until readers actually saw it in the opening chapter of One Piece…he's just the type of guy who takes the series seriously and isn't going to spoil anything, ever. I'm sure he takes great joy in hearing all the incorrect theories from fans. And yeah, Paulie and Kaku were featured more than Lucci in the Water 7 opening so...

He has given away stuff to the Voice Actors, mostly consistency stuff like you said, but they are things that the manga viewers shouldn't know but the voice cast needs to know for later events. Like the small comments on how no matter the point in the manga, Ussop will always be the weakest member. That was said by a VA but was given to them through Oda.
In the case what he is suggesting. It would easily come back to consistency too because they need to know how long certain characters are going to be in the lime light. (remember Oda personally oks the Voice overs for all strawhat members. If its a new crewmember that the manga readers don't know will be a crewmember but appears in the manga and will get a voice actor/actress before it is revealed, he will tell the anime crew.) The anime crew just happens to have enough respect for Oda that they don't give away anything they may have learned till after the fact.
Again I don't think it really means anything personally, but I still wouldn't put it past them if they know something we don't.
-
ya seeing this op lighten up my day
-
Holy crap! This opening is just….epic! The animation is astounding, and it really gets me pumped up. It covers three story arcs! A sneak peek of Impel Down already?! The song itself...eh, I may need a while for it to grow on me, but otherwise this just awesome.
-
WTF!!!! great new opening! song is well..something different, but i´m getting used to it…and holy fuk...the animation and the "spoilers" i wished sooo hard for something like that..jinbei, hancock (or lets say boobies lol) fight at impel down..luffy trying to grab ace...oh and boah aswell... shit i just can say great work guys just FUKING awesome :D
-
I'm also amused by how Luffy is falling off of the ship in Robin's shot.
It's even more amusing when you realize that Robin is the one who pushed him off

Don't think the music is going to grow on many people >_> (unless they liked the last Opening music). I absolutely love the Opening, but the more and more I watch… the more I hate it just because of the music ; ;. Why couldn't we have something more like Kokoro no Chizu with this kind of animation. But yeah I absolutely love the animation and it makes me really, really look forward to the upcoming arcs more than I thought I would. Its amazing what a simple respectable Opening can do with hype.
-
^You want something much mellower than the current song which is already a little too mellow for all the actiony stuff going on?
OP never has 100% amazing openings, this is as close as it's probably gonna get.

Hey, if I can grow to like Crazy Rainbow, I can grow to like this.
-
Is there already a download link to the Opening?
-
In it you see the shicibukai and the supernovas, as well as a stare-off between luffy and hancock, and you even see luffy in impel down already and you see him fighting the guards already.
Not at all bad. Awaiting better version and 395. -
It's even more amusing when you realize that Robin is the one who pushed him off
Ahahahaha yeah, I didn't even notice it until I was looking for it. That's priceless.
This opening actually has some funny stuff if you look. Franky's shot has a bunch of speedos being modeled behind him. Then when Luffy's surfing, Zoro and Sanji manage to break the surfboard they're fighting over and get all depressed. Nothing beats robin pushing Luffy off of the ship out of nowhere for no reason though.
-
Just watched it. Toei continues the trend of using rather bland songs that totally not catch you and hype you up for the episode itself. They totally lost their Mojo on that field with everything that came past Brand New World.
But as far as the footage itself is concerned I must say that I totally dig it. Ok, it spoils some stuff but I don't really mind this that much anymore. But what I find amazing is all the other stuff. I mean at some scenes (Luffy and Hancock for instance) the opening really had this great anime vibe. If only the music could have done the footage justice.
-
I actually really like this opening. The animation was funny and well done. I thought the music fit especially well in the beginning seconds but less after that. But oh well. I guess I'm biased because I like DBSK.
-
is this really the opening….the animation was good...but the music it's just....ahhh...I hope this opening not last until ID arc..
-
I thought the music was incredible. It really complemented the visuals in my opinion. But the visuals, gah UNBELIEVABLE. Hancock, Amazon warriors, Kizaru, Sentomarou, Jibei, Impel Down!!! The visuals were upbeat, fast paced and entertaining. This is at least my third favorite opening and the opening with my favorite visuals.
-
I like the music…there's only one thing I would change...and that is to take the phrase "share the music" out out of the song. "Share the good times" and "Share the world" make perfect sense. "Share the music just seems weird and out of place.
Besides that, I like the song and of course the visuals are just awesome. I especially like the name montage. Those things that show up behind them are legible. I tried to read some of them. Usopp's says he talks too much. XD
-
-
I hope they fix the Varatie thing in later episodes (what it says about Sanji in the text when his name comes up). Thats definitely a spelling error.
-
i love the new opening!
-
Best FRAKING OP OP ever! Luffy x Hancock moment was so damn super! Also epic shit in Impel Down damn… GOD DAMN and the song, suits so well in every scene!
-
Wow, i like it!
I wasn't sure at first but i think it'll go really well with the upcoming chapters. -
Ok after watching it a few times it gets even more impressive i mean hey the pacing… Impel down standing between luffy and his brother.. thats something deep... and also 1000sunny sourounded by themarines... spoiler aswell? even spoilering id end? Cause thy will be trapped in the future i know i konw... But with all the spoilers, the crew advantures in the anime and so i guess this could show the runion... Luffy failing but tracking ace with some back up or so...
-
The 3'rd yonkou approves this opening.
-
Nothing beats robin pushing Luffy off of the ship out of nowhere for no reason though.
I first thought so too but looking back more carefully I think it's Luffy got pulled down by the fish (he was fishing) and Robin helped him.
If Robin herself pushed him down it'd be priceless though.Now replaying this easily the 50th time.
-
I feel that the song is good and the animation is epic but they don't fit well together. For some reason I feel like the DB Kai opening would be a better fit because I love that song.
