Whoah ZKaiser, like your new Avi, you were serious about tha change weren't you XD
395: Time Limit - The Human Auction Begins

I thought it was Magellan too, amidst the blur and lag of Keyhole.
If you notice between 0:30 and 0:05 of the opening, behind the strawhats names it tells a synopsis of each character in english. Pretty cool easter egg if you ask me!
Zoro: "He is very cool."
XDI hate Aphelandra's hair color. Her being a brunette has almost completely eradicated my fantasy to do things with her giant hoo-ha.

Thanks. Yeah I was looking for a change. I didn't know what to change it to but one I saw this page in the manga I knew what it was going to be.
@CCC:I hate Aphelandra's hair color. Her being a brunette has almost completely eradicated my fantasy to do things with her giant hoo-ha.
I'm lovin' it. Brunette is my favorite hair color on women. If you don't want her hoo-ha, I'll gladly take it.

Okay, two more things on my list they need to fix before I stop being a cynical bastard regarding the animation.
1. Cut the goddamn Gold Roger recap. For Christ's sake.
2. Yes, the new opening is amazing, but endings were so great. I would welcome their return.
The animation seems top-notch lately.
You know, regardless of who directs, it really doesn't matter whether they're skilled or not if Toei isn't willing to spend on a high(er) cel count. Recently it's been amazing but I fear that it can only last so long. I hope I'm dead wrong. Because if it keeps up like this, it just might restore my faith in serial Japanese animation.
-
Greg, you're forgetting that One Piece is a show that's been going for a lot of Years and taht its hard to keep up the Animators and etc.
Besides, with the millions they waste by each episode, one audience fails one week and Toei can be fucked up for some time.Its good to go in a no risk line, risking the less millions possible, so that they always get 100% guaranteed profit.
-
Pics Look awesome!
Im starting to think Jinbei some kind of Ray Fishman(just the look thats all)
watching this next week with 392-394
-

Uh….no I'm not >_>; I just want a show as decent as the one we had... I don't think that's too much too ask.
BTW to all the people whining about spoilers...
"THE IRONY ROTFLMAO!!!!!!!"
No... Quite different. 36 seconds into the FIRST opening you see characters that don't appear until several TANKS into the story not to mention villains. The openings have traditionally been spoiler-orgies of sorts. It goes with the territory.
-

This is what made me question that
-
How so?
Also
Besides, with the millions they waste by each episode, one audience fails one week and Toei can be fucked up for some time.
OP will not 'fail' on a given week. It will perform exactly as expected. In fact if anything, the competition is getting thinner by the month as more primetime and morning animated program blocks drop off the air. OP may shift a spot or two in ratings but the people they WANT to see it, will see it.
Basically when I watch OP or any TV animation (which I don't anymore) I don't want to constantly be reminded that I'm watching something a company is doing a half-assed job on just to save a few smackers. Yeah, I realize the world revolves around money but it's nice not to watch the show be turned into almost an entirely different beast JUST so they can do so.
That said, from what little I've seen recently, it's been CONTINUALLY AMAZING. We appear to have run through the duldrum that hit the show after Alabasta but are a few more frames of animation too much to ask in exchange for eliminating the GR intro? Or a nice ending?
Again, I realize I'm being a cynical bastard especially in the wake of an incredible new intro but we're SO close now to getting back what we had…
-
Well, that Hancock pic will be made into sigs and profile pics soon enough. HUGE SHIPPING FUEL that Luffy and Hancock face to face. At least we now know that animé one piece girls have pokeys>v<, unlike the manga girls. I wanna see the Tenryubito getting their just desserts already.
-
I just have to say that the new opening is FREAKIN AWESOME MAN!!! OMG I LOVE IT SOOO MUCH!!!!!!!! I can't wait to download it! lolz, that was my rant for this thread.
-
High Quality Opening. Enjoy. -
thanks for the opening it looks pretty awesome from the pictures waiting till the HD version of the intro loads.
also in that pic woah Boa Hancock looks Gorgous wow just what i imagined but much more sexyiness, i wonder what who will be her Voice actress though?
-
I'm sure this is a reaaaally obvious comment but in the scene in the theme song where it shows Ace and Luffy standing opposite. Is it just me or is the flame that is burning the Vivrecard? I thought that was a rather neat touch if so.
-
OMFG!!! they even went as far as ID…...again OMFG!!! that was overloaded with spoilers for people who don't read the manga...if they realize what the hell is happening.
-
now i saw the intro i wonder why did people not like the music i thought it was good it matched the intro alot.
also woah the animation has improved greatly i haven't seen the recent Epsiode yet since i am far behind i am in Skypeia but woah and i never knew Luffy changes his outfit to a blue green outfit?
also some shots of the recent manga arc the impel down as well pretty cool, man this dream 9 hour is going to rock.
now i really want to see a Cross Epoch animated like how the opening is, its like how Sonic would say it "That was Tight!!!!!!"
-
-
Just watch the HD and noticed this.
"Sani was a former sub-chief cook of "Valatie""??? I knew sth was wrong when I watched the LQ version.But anyway, this OP is awesome, in may ways. I myself is not a fan of the song when I first heard it, but I think it suits the animation. It's starting to grow on me now.
-
Damn, the opening was brutally awesome.
-
Haha, now that I see the English text in HD, I see that it's Engrish-ridden. Like Zoro ''manipulating three pieces of swords'', with Kunia, his ''young sword friend'', but he makes up for that because ''He is very cool''. lol
I must say again, I'm impressed with the detail that went into this, such as animating stray strands of Hancock's hair, the Vivrecard buring, and the little details like Sanji and Zoro fighting over a surfboard in the background and Nami, for some reason, putting one of those fake glasses/mustache things on a sleeping Luffy's face.
-

and they broke the surfboard
oh and not to mention those symbols at the back of the supernovas, it's their signs/symbol/whatever that can describe them X3

It was the burning of the vivrecard, also, did anyone notice the SH bios in the back of the intro in the beginning?

The fifth and six openings are much worse, showing you events and how things happen before they do, which spoils a lot more than just knowing what a character looks like.
-
OMG! The animation for the new opening rocked my pants!!!! The music catches on after a couple of repeats.. but the animation blows my mind out :D
-
The new intro is freaking awesome and the appearance of Boa at the end is just awesome.

That fake nose/glasses thing is from one of the early colorspreads. They tend to add those scenes in the openings.
This picture is what that one scene in the opening is based on, but they added Franky and Brook in it because this colorspread was made in "Volume 30 - Chapter 284: Bad Boys" -
Be ready for the Korean Backstreetboys!!!
Can't wait to see the new opening and get disappointed! Like always…
I WAS WRONG FUCKING WRONG!!!
WHAT A GREAT GREAT GREAT OPENING!!!
-
Not to push/rush things, but just out of curiosity, is there any ETA on a raw?
-
New opening:
You know, I'm surprised. I thought the last one was freaking terrible, and as such, I had pretty low expectations for this one, seeing how it was the same band, and the previews didn't exactly help anything… BUT IT WAS AWESOME. This is exactly what all the openings should be like. I have no problems with the "spoilers", because really, they're not giving away anything that isn't already obvious. -
I.. that opening.. I…
-
yeah, me wants episode bad after seeing the awesome opening. Haven't had an opening this good since 2006. lol.
-
Regarding those profiles in the background.
They're generic profs that have been used on random merch for a long time.
-
Great opening
can't belive they went off an shown all the ID stuffwould it be right for me to assume that that would mean fillers will be kept to a minimum?
-
The music is nice and catchy but it is just me or do I think its more westernized and 'pop'py?
It doesn't have the "hype" you usually get at the end of the song that most of the other openings had…
Animation was great, loved Luffy and Ace at the ending. Summarizes everything. If there was a 'hype vibe' at this scene, it would totally pump anyone for the show itself.
-
W-Wow..this opening.. so awesome.
-
wait a min did Zoro use some low level haki making that guy drop his sword
the screen went a bit strange like when haki was being used (or was that just the quality of the vid?) -
16 characters of Nope.
-
He just scared the guys with his KILLER INSTINCT, they didn't faint or anything. Well, it was filler anyway.
By the way…OP raws are taking its time today, eh. Dragonball Kai 01 has at least five different rips around. -
W-wow. I wasn't expecting that. It's actually… good. Amazing even. The song isn't that great, but combined with the animation it actually works fairly well. All the spoilers are amazing. Quick shots of things yet to come to keep you watching if only to see just what that hell it all is. The animation was amazing, the fight scenes with Kuma and the "you know who" was great. Luffy tearing though all those guards was awesome. The intro shots of all the Strawhats was neat too, sort paralleling the Supernovas' introduction.
! The shot of Hancock and Luffy I thought was actually pretty funny what with it being all serious, but Luffy's still like "I don't get it. What's going on? Why is she staring at me? XD
Also, people are complaining about how spoilerific the opening is, but this thread is far more spoilerific than the opening could ever be. XD
-
I'm lovin' it. Brunette is my favorite hair color on women. If you don't want her hoo-ha, I'll gladly take it.
I should be more specific. Brunettes are great, but I'm not a fan of that sort of light-brown sandy color.
-

Tell me about it. You'd think One Piece would get more respect than this, especially with the new opening and all. Dragonball Kai is crap by comparison and a completely unnecessary remake if you ask me. The original series is fine on its own and doesn't need this inferior version. The new Full Metal Alchemist is a different matter entirely though. Heres hoping that follows the manga this time.
-
Here's the deal with the Raws -
Crossbones says there's no HD Rw this weone hasn't appeared, however, there must be one out there, because LuffyDaisy at Kaizoku Forums psted an HD Rip of the new opening, which was basically a normal HD Raw, but ended when the opening did, we need to find Luffydaisy & ask her where she got that !

Surely people are going to upload raws though? We need someone we can rely on to provide them (and do a good job unlike that one saturated colors guy) or it will be impossible to ever get raws of the whole series.
-
Here's an SD one at least.
-
Here's an SD one at least.
Yeah I was about to post that. At least the bottom of the picture isn't cut off on this one. Now all we need to do is wait for a good HD release.
-
People say to me Naruto is the Next DBZ. Hah. Does Naruto have a special One Hour Block with Dragon Ball Kai? I don't think so.
-
Altough I do agree that One Piece is the next Dragonball…
The reason why they have the same block is due to the same Animators, Toei...lol
-

Although Toei has nothing to do with Jump putting Goku and Luffy together lots of times, DB x OP merchandising, let alone Cross Epoch.
I think it's pretty clear how OP is the spiritual successor to DB, in Japan at least. -
After listening to it a few more times, I have to say the song itself has grown on me now too. At least we don't have any of those Straw Hats casually walking along the beach on a sunny day shots this time around.
