This should be renamed "What I find wrong about the new OP Opening" thread instead of "OP episode 426". lol.
I guess there was not much to this episode but I found it interesting that "little east blue" think so highly of Nami, considering they wanted her to be addressed as "Nami-sama." I don't believe they addressed anyone else that way, even Luffy (and he's the Captain).
I curious to why they have such an interest in her… They seem to know about all the Strawhats from their wanted poster. My only guess is that they know she's the ship's navigator (since she's wearing the log pose on her wanted poster). Maybe they want her help to get back to East Blue? Or do they have a connection to Shiki (maybe they know that Shiki is looking for a navigator from the East Blue)?
Just wondering bout other people's opinion.
EDIT: @FrankyFan:
I'm calling it. UsoppxLuigia next episode.
omg… brilliant! it's so gonna happen!
ugh, and here I thought I was watching some slice-of-life highschool anime :ninja:
the music reminds of old classic anime songs; It was ok on the first half but it doesn't fit in the latter half. meh, I hope they change the op again after the movie special (/me hopes :ninja:).
btw song is Kaze o Sagashite by Hexagon Family (HexagonII quiz show? )
anyway lead singer is Mari Yaguchi, a former member of Morning Musume and currently a member of Hello Project!. If you remember she did some voice acting stuff last Movie 8 Arabasta .
Ah well, I hope this only last in this specials, Mr.Children preview song for the movie is far so much better than this. I hope they replace it after
WAY too much hate on the new opening. No lie, I honestly don't mind this despite the upcoming war. It has that "calm before the storm" feeling to it, you know? The tune's like "Oh yay, everyone's happy, it's a shame this happiness won't last." Almost like the feeling where you have to make the happy times last.
And people thought the last 3 openings were bad?
I loled.
You know, sometimes characters are drawn bigger then they really are for exaggeration purposes, to make them imposing and to stand out from the rest.
It doesn't mean they really are that big unless they are drawn that way all the time. One picture doesn't mean anything even if they are out of proportion or not.
Yeah, the Warlords are actually in the foreground. The giants are in the distant background. All is well.
Didn't mind the new opening song. Thought it sounded… "fun," I guess? Not overly cute or anything, and the animation was nice.
Episode itself was pretty good too.
from the best one piece opening theme in years to the WORST?
what were they thinking?
Damn Shiki is insane.
They should of named them the Mariachi Pirates instead.
What an awesome beetle.
Funny how they were able to identify Sanji even with such a horrible wanted poster.
I wonder what all this East Blue stuff is leading to.

I understand what you're saying, but the upcoming episodes ARE the storm. We're IN the storm right now. calm's inappropriate when all the calm is gone, son
The OP song doesn't fit and, really, it's just outright bad in the first half. I've rewatched this like 50 times and I've come to accept the song and it actually gets ok in the second part, but it's still a mistake.
The animation was pretty good though and the spoilers were cool, though.
As for the episode, I really liked it. I miss the crew being together. Shiki is a badass.
Aw I loved this episode, I had no idea there was going to be a new opener (was getting kinda tired of the old one) and the song isn't too incredibly bad. The episode was cute I'm happy seeing the straw hats all together again, the only thing that really sucks is that its tied into the movie somehow and we won't be seeing the movie till who knows when. The pacing seemed to be a little bit awkward at the beginning of the episode but it evened out towards the end and I feel the following episodes will be good.
IT'S SHIT
I have a brilliant idea.
Let's pick a song (however forced tie-in by the record company) that sounds like it's made for either World Masterpiece Theaters or Pretty Cure.
Then play it as we showcase scenery of the largest prison dungeon in the world, sheer hell on earth, with intimidating and dark undertones as Luffy races to rescue his brother. Then we'll cut to a scene apparently showcasing massive military face-off of large forces. Marines everywhere, pirates, everything is spelling out doomsday.
It'll go perfectly well together, I promise!
Ah, this is reminding me of when Rurouni Kenshin was airing.
Happy, cheery, pop music opening theme song about freckles on a girl's face getting in the way of romance or blaiming the rain on some hapless lions….
while showing series of brutal, murderous killers glaring intimidatingly and sinister, followed by bloody sword clashes.
@Geg:
Yeah, Whitebeard having hair is anime-only, and somehow merely having hair makes him look completely off-model with the manga. Thankfully it looks like they retconned that and made him bald just in time for him to finally get a big role.
Mmm, I Never noticed that. WB looks better without hair.
'Bout the episode itself…
- Art hardly looked like Shingaki. Lots of Tate-ish fluidity.
- Shiki cutting off his legs to escape Impel Down was pretty hardcore. Interesting to see that Magellan was around back then.
- Makes sense that the beetle came from Strong World, or where ever.
- The callbacks to East Blue were kind of nice. Was this the first time that Zoro's dojo was actually named?
- lol at the non-East Blueans being left behind on the Sunny.
- That big mistake with Zoro's voice coming out of Sanji's mouth was awful.
weird i read on here before watching about the zoro/sanji voice thing. watched the episode, and then read again just now. Well at least it wasn't something huge, cause I personally didn't notice it at all. And well figuring out of 426 episodes, all specials, movies ect i think i can handle one line being said by wrong person.
especially since i didn't even notice it
Definitely awful mistake. Made me go WTF?!
Definitely awful mistake. Made me go WTF?!
well i figure i won't ever notice, just like all the other mistakes like 2 zoro's on screen and things like that.
i guess i'm a minority when i just watch and episode and enjoy it, instead of spending the 20 minutes trying to pick it apart so i can feel proud by going on the internet and bashing it
wow the opening… it kinda reminded me of the recent pokemon dp opening song but a little worse. the visuals were so amazing but i don't think i can get that song out of my head it was really weird. the episode was good though, i think this is the first filler episode i've seen since i usually skip them.

I'm sure you feel proud of yourself for being a complete tard who can't criticize anything even obvious mistakes in his favorite show.
That makes you a better fan than me. amirite?

no, nothing makes one a better fan than another, by thinking you are better is stupid.
i'm just saying i'd rather enjoy a show than be trying to find any flaw in it. Of course your gonna find flaws when looking for them, and as you have seen in this topic with regard to scale, peopel find flaws that aren't even there just because they want them to be
maybe that's why i enjoy a lot of movies i go to. Some firends i have go to movies and come out bitching over the smallest thing, makes me wonder why they even watch movies, they never seem to enjoy it because theya re too busy bitchign about something soo small.
I understand what you're saying, but the upcoming episodes ARE the storm. We're IN the storm right now. calm's inappropriate when all the calm is gone, son
Agreed.
I guess i'd understand the choice for this op only if this was going to be a Foxy arc ^^;
What makes you think that I or whoever mentioned this mistake was looking for it? it was an obvious mistake that can be noticed easily, if you are actually paying attention to what you are watching.
I thought it was awful…I don't see why I can't express my opinion here.
Everyone here is expressing their opinion about everything Animation, music, opening, mistakes, etc... I don't see what you said in the first post you quoted me have to do with anything that makes me enjoy the show less.
It's just you thinking you are better for having a positive opinion all the time.
I have no idea what you guys are talking about! That's exactly how the War felt to me XD And that's how it really is <3
Opening is the retardest ever and I love it!
Definitely awful mistake. Made me go WTF?!
I dunno, it just seemed like Sanji was talking deeper than usual. It's not like his VA's voice CAN'T go lower.
@dirt:

lol…As deep as Zoro?
I don't think so. It seemed like Zoro, which it was.
What's amazing though is, former Morning Musume singer Yaguchi Mari, who plays the Yoko character in this episode and sings the opening…...
is actually really frigging good as a VA.
And trust me, I don't hesitate from criticizing bad acting of VAs.
There's far too many terrible newcomers in the VA field these days
(Although to be fair, they usually improve considerably over the course of a few seasons, like the VA duo for the protagonists of Soul Eater)
She puts a lot of "professional" newbie VAs to shame.
She didn't have the monotone syndrome a lot of these new people suffer from.
Yeah, she's not perfect, not as good as seasoned cast this show supports. But she did one hella job for not being a pro VA in the first place.
I find the song extremely unfitting, but I have to say, damn this lady is very talented!
I'd like to enter the battle of the voice being Zoro or Sanji but I haven't watched any of the episode. Since it just now appeared on the site where I watch it. :/
Great episode :D
I like the new opening and having the crew back together again,my favorite part is Usopp walking in Slow Motion and the Beetle catches him XD,i hope those 2 Amigo Pirates guys have Devil Fruit powers
didn't go read back all the hate for the new song
… I actually... kinda like it. It's so gay and non shonen that it almost just works... it really makes me wanna draw xD plus... if you erm... imagine nobody singing and just listen to the music... its kind of nice....
btw... just my opinion I just get the feeling everyone will HATE IT with a burning passion... I for one love the animation and just keep rewatching from when Sengoku looks constipated and wonderful and I'm INCREDIBLY HAPPY to see anime colors for Akainu even if his tatoo is funky xD Haven't seen the actual episode but I don't think I'll watch it... I won't see the movie for probably another year or so when ever they release it to dvd so I dunno if I'll watch the 4 filler eps..
Wouldn't the movie be online and subtitled probably within weeks of the first showing? O.o Sorry if this is a bad post to any mods just deleted it if it is. xD

No, people won't have a DVD of the movie for months after this, and even then might not come to US for weeks more after the release.
I'm gonna wait for FUNi, I think though. Or I'll cave.
I'll probably cave.
well how soon was the first raw of movie 9, and then sub of movie 9. did we not get it until the dvd's came out, or was there early releases, or cam's of the theater?

rofl, the words I didn't want to say. ^^;
Honestly, after watching the opening a few more times, the song doesn't bother me as much anymore.
I don't know, maybe I'm just used to it now. Regardless, I do like the opening, it's just that "Yay!" at the end of the Impel Down stuff that makes me cringe, and stops me from liking it more. Visually, it's a great opening imo, and the song is fine on its own, but the two just don't go together in the second half (I thought it fit well for the first half).
Still, considering the current events, you really have to wonder what prompted Toei to choose this song as the opening…
IIRC the only movie we've got earlier than usual was a sample copy of movie 8…like, three months after it premiered.
I don't remember finding cam rips of any OP movie at all, but since this one is so hyped, who knows.
I don't think I've EVER seen a cam rip of One Piece movies.
I'm sure they existed somewhere or other, but I don't see the point in watching really shitty quality. Legality aside, I mean.
Guys, guys, guys.
Take a step back.
Take a deep breath, in through the nose, out through the mouth.
Okay.
Now enough with the, "This song is meh.", or, "The song isn't that great."
Let's all just admit it.
IT'S SHIT
I'm not kidding, I was constipated for four days and I just shat out an enormous pile of fecal matter that was more inviting than that song.
There is a fucking war and they bring Whitebeard out to….
"Setting out on an adventure! So I can meet someone!"
WHAT THE FUCK?!
I don't care that it sounds like some PuriKyua~ shit, just the fact that it doesn't come nearly close to matching an arc about HELL followed by an arc about
! WAR.
Holy shit on a toothpick!
It's November right???? Nowhere near April right???

Poor, poor ferrets.
am i really the only one who thinks that this new opening will last only 4 episodes? song is crap yeah, but i think, when you are not a manga reader it is easier to see that opening itself is crap too. as usual, people going on like "OMFG, huge spoilers etc". well, i don't see any spoilers :wassat:
i was expecting a specialepisodes-special opening, this is really like one.
when a major mistake take place,it's always related to zoro

yea not sure what the huge spoilers is about. only thing i can see about spoilers is it appears that luffy doesn't save ace in impel down, he is taken somewhere else.
we apparantly meet up with mr. 2, and croc from what i've seen. but we already met mr. 3 and buggy so not unexpected to meet other guys. A bunch of marines shown, all seen before, except a couple. but if you don't know who they are, you will just wonder, not like your spoiled of anythign.
as for them falling from sky, hell to me it looks like luffy finally learned how to fly. he is now goku. So not sure on the whole spoilers being shown bitching.
i have seen plenty of anime first before reading manga, if i even do read manga. And trust me, if you haven't read manga you never know whats a spoiler or whats going on at all. The openings just look cool. Now there are a couple things that can be, like when it showed robin on the ship with the crew before she joined, WTF they thinking. and it was a ways before too. or like if they show an opening with like goku super saiyan or luffy going gear 2, or something like that before its ever happened. Those are spoilers.
But as for anything else it really isn't. Hell watching one piece from episode 1, i was spoiled a lot. Like I knew that this orange haired lady, green haired, suit kicking guy, and a long nosed sling shot guy where gonna join the crew. Thats it, the rest was all just bad guy pics and other random stuff i didn't know about, and didn't matter if shown early. Who cares if they show admiral Aikanu's face in an opening before he is shown in anime, doesn't spoil anything
I'm having a hard time judging if your post was sarcasm or not. Either way I found it funny.:D
Well, sorry for going against the stream, but I love the new opening song. Yes, it doesn´t fit with the hell of Impel Down, but it has a certain upbeat that cheers up, and I think that fits with the spirit of the upcoming war. They´ll have a new opening when they get to that part anyway…
Does anyone know the title of the song and the singer/group?
BTW, the only cam rips that I remember of an anime movie were from the Fullmetal Alchemist movie and Eva 2.0, so I wouldn´t expect any of Strong World, even with all the hype
WOOOOOOOOOOO, even though I'm 10 pages late gotta say I'm likin' the new song, much betta than the old one. Also, we get to see the….SH's AGAIN, was really starting to miss them there.
The new opening totally kicks ass when I mute the volume. The only spoiler I'm a bit surprised about is that they showed that Ace will be moved to Marineford. I argued with a lot of people around here who believed Luffy would succeed in ID when it was occuring in the manga.
I liked this episode. The reasoning for Shiki's legs being the way they are is excellent. That's just good writing to provide a unique character trait and provide a method for his escape all rolled together.
They all have been Happy songs (Maybe this is to happy) But i really didnt expect a opening that would set the mood of this and the next arc.
am i really the only one who thinks that this new opening will last only 4 episodes?
I think. I Thought it was also a special opening first when i saw also those giant animals and happy stuff at the start.
But if its was really a special opening. They wouldnt put the stuff from impel down and the rest in it.
They could have put movie stuff there if it was a really a special opening.
@Al!naJames:
Opening is the retardest ever and I love it!
what the hell i don't understand :wub:
Hater.:sad::sad::sad:
I agree with a lot of other people in this thread that the mood of the song doesn't fit the animation at all. Making as many AMV's as I do, that's something I focus on unconsciously.
