I honestly wouldn't be surprised if they did that, either. It would be nice to have something new to watch, though.

The animation will probably change to include Trunks and Vegeta, as well as the five numbered Artificial Humans, but that's about it.
-
Too bad for you, because 448 has the best animation (Tate).
Oh wait, didn't Tate draw this wonderful little masterpiece?
!
End of point.
-
!

Except that real life doesn't fit One Piece's style at all and that picture still looks awful and the girl constipated regardless of what Tate was trying to do.

OP is well known for people looking pretty when they're crying.

A lot of things look like shit when you make a screenshot of fluid animation.
cue Batter-chan complaining about how too much information can't let you focus on art
-
Cue me asking people to just drop it
We do not need to have this argument again. You're never gonna agree with each other anyway. -
Haters gonna Hate.
-
I don't hate all of Tate's stuff. But Robin's story from episode 420 was just terrible.
-
-
Escaping the island, just like the chapter title.
Can you confirm what the actual episode title is?
-
Wait, No New Opening For Next Arc!!!!!!!!
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
-
Meh…I like the current opening.
-
No one ever said there won't be a new opening.
-
DBK will have a new ending in 2 weeks (and probably new animations to go with Dragon Soul). I presume OP will get a new opening at that time too.
-
Meh…I like the current opening.
Its a decent opening but you want it for the most epic arc ever??
Personally I hope we get something much more epic and not as much happy-go-lucky as in the current one
-
Happy-go-lucky suits the Strawhats though. Plus, I've been listening to the song via Memorial Best, and to me, it sounds better than the previous openings since Crazy Rainbow.
Chalk it up to me liking it because there doesn't seem to be as much studio sound and autotune. It seems like a song that can be played live on stage with actual instruments and sounding almost exactly the same.
edit–
I'm going off-topic with this title song discussion when it's already been discussed when the song first came out. I'm sure that when Toei decides to change the title song, it still won't be something epic/somber. I don't see an OP opening having some sort of J-Rock or something. -

That's just the thing it suits the Strawhats, which play no role in this arc at all, except for Luffy. I would be fine with this being a regular arc were the whole crew is together, but it isn't.
This is the first real arc in the series where its based on the goings-on of the outside world and where the Strawhats are not the main characters and I just want an opening that represents that.

new op could be a problem….
fink how many spoilers they could show us...
lets hope its something like crazy rainbow style even it was sucks...
-
I'm betting this new opening is going top be the best ever. Think about it! Toei has no problems with the visuals. The newest opening had debatably the best visuals of all 12 openings. The problem is just a good song and given the heat of the last song, I think Toei will make the extra effort for an especially good song this time. Combining these two would guarantee the best opening ever.
-
I think its probably a bit soon for a new opening.
I bet Marineford will at least be a few episodes in before it changes.
As the spoilers in the current OP show up to Luffy and co falling from the sky. -
I'd suspect we'll get a new opening in ten episodes or so, after ID (and the assumed straw hat separation series II) finish.

-
I am hoping they don't change it till at least the middle of Marineford. They spoiled way too much in the last one.
-
If you're spoiled it's your own fault for not reading the manga.
-

Wait…what ?
-

I read the manga. I am just saying it spoiled way to far, so much that you can't have another opening for a while.
-
I assume that they'll change the opening around October, after this TV season ends. That should be around the time they get to where the opening shows up to.
-
The current opening spoiled absolutely nothing. Having read the manga and being able to read into scenes what people who didn't read it can't does not make those scenes spoilers. "Some upcoming episodes will have some characters who look like this" are hardly spoilers either.

Indeed. The only real "spoilers" we've had in the openings would be the opening showing new members of the crew before they actually appeared in the show. (In other words, We Are! is the biggest spoiler-opening in the series.) Oh, and I suppose Luffy and Usopp being shown fighting in Kokoro no Chizu was kind of a spoiler, but that's it. Everything else is just foreshadowing.
-

You forgot to add a timeslot change for that.
-
Openings have been trending at around 30 episodes per opening. Since we'll be reaching that mark at Episode 456, I'd expect a change about then (that'd be in late June/early July). That'd also be into Marineford in the storyline. It makes sense.
Opening 10: (21 episodes)
Opening 11: (30 episodes) -
@Vegard:

The only real spoiler in an opening was showing Robin as part of the crew in Hikari e. We Are… well, sort of, but really, from the moment we saw these characters appear in the series, it was quite obvious they were going to join (hell, both Zoro and Sanji were specifically tracked down because Luffy wanted them on his crew). Oda put Nami in the chapter 1 title page too, for that matter.
-
So is 449 airing this weekend or will it be on break due to Goldenweek?
-
It'll air this weekend. The anime usually only takes a break around July and December.
-
Ah, cool. Thanks a lot Kaiolino.
-
what is next eta for episode titles? seems like we should have gotten a batch of titles for may episodes already but nothing that i can find. i mean heck isn't 449's title only known due to episode preview at end of 448
-
We usually don't get them until around the 7th of each month. So far, we're right on schedule.
-

Well actually we've known it for a while.
So we always have to wait for the 7th, huh? So that means that we will only know the title of 450 through the preview for it…
Anyway, I'm assuming "that" isn't going to happen until 450 or 451?
Such a shame... This arc is paced soooo slowly.
By "that" I mean:
! Mr. 2 sacrificing himself so they can go through to Marineford.
I spoilered it because I'm nice to anime-only watchers. =P
-
On the 7th we will most likely get titles for 450 (May 9), 451 (May 16), 452 (May 23), 453 (May 30) and 454 (June 6).
-
Anyone got the new titles for the next month?
-
I dont think so… I'm finding weird too. It's already May 8th and still no news! =/

-
It's really taking longer this time…heck, we've got the animation directors list days ago.
-
The guy who posts OP info every month only posted staff info this time, no titles. In fact, he didn't even post staff in "complete form". For example, about ADs, he posted "yamashita, deguchi, ide, kawamura" lol
-
LOL, maybe he was in a hurry! I didn't know that these informations were posted by some guy…I tought it was from TOEI or something official in their website.
-
They are posted in Newstype site on the 10th of each month, officially.
But the info gets leaked before that.
-
From episode 451 preview, the title is called "Create the Final Miracle - Break Through the Gate of Justice"
