Anyone got a link to download the MP3?
-
don't read spoiler unless u wanna get spoiled
! in the 1st 2 secs they show all the prev and current strawhat owners :D
-
I've watched it about 15 times, I love it and I normally don't go for that kind of music, but it just goes really well with this part of the story. My fav part is the bit with the crewmates scattered around and doing their thing. Zoro is just too awesome in those two seconds goes into fangirl mode
-
i actually really liked that opening. i think it's gonna be on my top list along with the 5th opening and share the world :D
-
Definately a brilliant opening.
Set the mood perfectly and to be honest - I think it can last a lot longer then some are estimating it will because the scenes it shows are very unique - also they can adapt it to upcoming arcs without having to change much.
-
Good opening.
There's something I don't understand. It's not very important but they changed the straw hat's color after Ivankov healed Luffy in Impel Down. Comparison pics:

Obviously, the new opening has the new colour but in the scenes where he meets the crew the hat does the old color. Does that mean that the Hat changed his color in a part of the history? It's weird.
I know it's not the most important thing in the world but meh.
-
Great new opening and as it seems the "training" of the other SHs will be more flashed out.
the song is great as well.
And eally liek the secene were Ace is hitting Luffy toward the straw-hat
-
I listened to it a few times and I have to say I'm not really feeling the song at all, maybe it will grow on me who knows. Perhaps if I read the lyrics I can appreciate it more. For what they are the scenes are nice, however I think the last opening was way better.
-
8,5/10
No Supernovas, No Blackbeard, but the opening it's the essence of this chapters pre-time skip
-
It felt to me as if the opening was made so that you could cut it at 1min28s. Wild speculation about a slot change anyone?
-
Good opening. Loved the beginning part with the silhouetted SHs walking in a line.
-
Omg, I watched this opening probably twenty times in a row. I abosolutely love it. It's like the animated version of that one color spread where all the strawhats are all in their original clothes and places, but way more fleshed out. I love the training scenes, especially the Chopper to Brook scene, and the Roger–>Shanks-->Luffy at the begining. And I swear I began to tear up at the part where Ace shows up as the 'light' and pushes Luffy towards the 'future' (aka the hat). And the reanimated scenes with the strawhats were great--a few of them looked ten times better than they did in the anime. And the sentimental value in all of it is simply priceless. <3 Hell, j-pop ain't my cup-o' tea at all, I swear, but I love this song so much it's not even right. <3
-
I have to say I enjoyed it. I like Amuro Namie and didn't think she would fit, but this is different enough to go with something like OP. Something is a little off for me that I can't put my finger on, but I get a huge nostalgia buzz from watching it. It's a good post-breakup opening.
-
Ya know I wouldn't have minded
! Bluejam, the King and Saint Jalmack being shown in silhouete, but whatever. Stil Toei spoils all the time and now they could litter the screen with caps of someone else then Doflamingo, Kuma and the Gorosei.
-
It is funny how many times I have watched that opening and listened to that song already.
The scene where Luffy, Ace, and Sabo are jumping across the rocks, I love how the instrumental fits that surreal area.
I am sort of confused by the meaning implied by these lines of lyrics,
The sun will rise
And shine equally on even our sorrows
I believe in
The future that will become one piece someday,–- Update From New Post Merge ---
I think Oda would be SUPER proud and happy seeing this.
-
This opening was pretty good.

I think they tried to do it like Oda drawing it.

Somebody got a download link to a raw Version (mp4 Format?)??

The future that will become one piece someday,It's weird, Amuro sings 「いつかひとつに繋がる未来を」, which literally means "someday the future will be bound into one", but that 「ひとつに繋がる」 part sounds alot like the kanji writing of One Piece (the treasure), 「ひとつなぎの大秘宝」. I'm assuming it was close enough for them to translate it to mimic Amuro's probable intention in writing the lyric to sound like she was referencing One Piece (again, the treasure)…
-
Thank you Kaizoku!
The Sanji training scene is probably the best animated. The heat streaks left in the air is amazing. -
Found it in HD and it's good. I might acctually not skip this one on every episode.
There should be a whole Opening in the style used for 0:45-1:00 both in music and animation.
-
The scene where Usopp is yelling to Gear 2nd Luffy was done so well, it is great!
That scene was sad originally, seeing Luffy just completed exhausted, but the animation for Luffy in this opening is so detailed. -
I love the new opening!
Ties in really well and shows some backstory not just about their adventure so far but with characters past etc and how they were helped by Luffy :)
Shows alot of history in that straw hat -
the visuals are really good for this opening. As for the song itself, not my cup of tea… if feels sort of incoherent and lacking of a strong chorus or melody...
-

No. You forget different animation directors work on the anime, so the hat changes every so slightly every week.
It's barely even noticeable at times. -
Ever since he got the yellow vest, his hat has been colored tan. I think it was just done so that the collor of the hat doesn't look too much like the color of the vest we wore later in ID and Marineford.
-
I really like the training sequence, the music there almost has a "military" sound to it, which really fits the mood that they're working hard to better themselves almost like a person in basic training.
-
My favourite part of this opening is that it perfectly captures what is going on. It's unique. Just like One Day.
Also:
-
"Queen of Hip Hop"?
I don't think Hip Hop fits One Piece, especially the Goa Arc, which was pretty dark. But yeah, Toei used Kaze wo Sagashite for Impel Down, they don't give a damn if it fits or not.
Dudes…Hip Pop not Hip Hop and I enjoy the new opening very much
-
Last shot of the opening from here. <.< I don't think it's been pointed out yet.
[hide][/hide] -
The shots of the Straw Hats at the end were taken from the page spread of 590, too (except for Nami's, which is taken from 597).
-
This has to be one of the best openings we've gotten. Its so full of emotion and really sets itself apart from other openings, as did One Day. If you don't like the song, watch it a few more times and I guarantee it'll grow on you. Who's saying this is far from best? Its perfectly done. I think they'll just change openings when that big event happens…..I mean Brand New World only lasted like 7 episodes
-
This song is so freaking cool. I've been struggling for the past couple of hours trying to find something wrong with this opening but I simply can't. The tune is amazing, the lyrics are touching and very mindful of the current arc, the clips are beautifully animated and show just the right amount of spoilers and, finally the feeling that this opening conveys is one of hope and energy which is just what we all need after that long war arc. It really conveys how Luffy has to grow and bounce back. I especially enjoy how it ties in Luffy's past as a child with his past with the crew. I think that this gives a message that he should cherish all of his memories, bad and good, and move towards a better future with who he has to spend it with. Anyone agree?
-
twas an amazing opening, and it really did seem that they were giving it their all for this opening.
honestly i cant rag on this opening it was great (although im sure some would, and have already :getlost:)
-
ARC, I agree. It is great. I think this opening showed Toei giving it their all. The scenes were beautiful, the shading work was SUPER! Some of the lyrics seem hard to understand the meaning of, but that is mostly due to being translated and subbed into english.
-
Great visuals, but it felt more like an ending to me.
Also, I realize they did this for Brand New World, but I think it's dumb to have an opening for only 20 or so episodes.
-
Sad song for a Sad arc, just great.. BTW when Sabo appears in a the opening, the music matches the scene so well (now I fell sorry for Sabo backstory)
And another great thing..Moria is in the opening, besides him, just the Straw Hats and Ace are in the Opening..a Solo SW opening.
-
I don't like too much the song (neither the 13th), but the visuals, style and pre-timeskip images are absolutely amazing
-
The one and only flaw with this new opening: it's not gonna stay there for long =(
-
Opening is amazing. Very different but very good.
-
is it me or is shanks in every opening?
-
So is Kuma, Doflamingo and the Gorousei.
And Sengoku used to be there…...
! wonder if they're gonna keep him or…..maybe put him there instead ?
-
@No:
So is Kuma, Doflamingo and the Gorousei.
No, they aren't in the first openings since we didn't know them.
-

ending???
perhaps your right, maybe for a movie special. anyways the music seemed to blend in so well, especially when transitioning to the trio ( ace,sabo,luffy)
-
Wonderful Opening !!
the art - the song - the animation - flashbacks - almost no spoilers except sabo's part? .. WOW !! -
@The:

Well, this arc is a sort of 'ending'. ;)
-
this was a good opening
-
this is very different than the other openings i think, but the animation makes it work
-
Perfect opening, i love it, kind of make me sad though, but great
