517: ''A New Chapter Begins - Reunite! The Straw Hat Pirates''
-
-
The way Im thinking is the eye catcher may just be like this for a couple of episodes at best. Once the crew gets into action, we may get the individual catches…but that is wishful thinking...
-
When I heard the first few seconds of the opening I immediately paused it and thought to myself, "Where the hell have I heard that already?"
If this song has already been posted as confirmed for opening 15 elsewhere, im not really fussed, this was more of a personal discovery and I dont really go looking for opening spoilers myself. Anyway, it was One piece gigant battle 2. -

-
Hmmmm - Maybe the song will grow on me /shrugs
I much preferred the previous opening - this one is much more upbeat and energetic sure but it doesn't really floor me the way it seems to floor you guys - Happy you all like it though :happy:
The episode itself I really didn't want it to end I have a feeling until they leave Sabondy every episode is going to seem like it finishes too soon.I did like how casual Usopp and Nami were as they were leaving the pub and it is drenched in lightning everyone else is WTF - and they are just "normal conversation"
-
The next episode preview music is lighter, not as intense, I think it's nice, but I do miss the last preview music….bahhh
-
@Rio:
Now now kid, no need to act like a douchebag.
Oh, I'm sorry.
Please teach me your ways of maturity and not-taking-things-girlishly-ness.
-
Going to add my vote to the people who wanted to like the new theme song more than they did. Didn't help that besides the hat-switch, the opening really didn't have much interesting action aside from a pretty standard Gear Third.

Opening 15 is being proccessed on youtube I uploaded it :D
Edit: Please enjoy I tried my bestest :3
-
The preview music of We Go sounds like Toy Story music to me.
-
No more individualized eyecatches? That makes me sad.
No really, that's a huge shame.
We don't know that for sure. Remember when the show first became HD the first few episodes only used the Luffy eyecatch.
-
So like, I wouldn't mind Vic Mignogna singing this theme in the Funi dub in like, 5 years. :ninja:
I can already picture in my mind how it'd sound. Dangit Funi hurry up with those negotiations…
-
I'm sure this has already been mentioned (?), but hell yeah at the anime for starting to do the little swirl-boxes.
-
My favourite part of the opening is Luffy running with images in the background of the crew. Compare that to a similar scene in Fight Together. In Fight Together, Luffy's walking before running, reflecting his mental weakness and his ultimate realization of that arc. That he isn't strong enough and him trying to get stronger. Now, in We Go, Luffy's not running, but sprinting. Showing how he's dealt with that realization. Become stronger. And now he is.
Symbolism.
-
Okay, here's 2 sets of Wallpapers from OP15 (one I edited to try and fit with the set); I really wanna do something with that 'Passing the Hat' montage, but that will wait until tomorrow night, as 'Mo works first thing in the morning. XP
Photobucket Thumbnails to save your computer load times, as these are all 1024x768 wallpapers; feel free to resize as needed, and enjoy. I'll see you guys tomorrow night with a couple more.
-
I downloaded the 720p, the 360p, the youtube version, put opening 15 on my ipod and even downloaded the 1080p.ts. I must've listened to this song like 15 times and I still don't like it as much as you ppl. Sounds too Christmassy and rushed like they wrote the thing while recording it in the studio that day. I'm glad I only have to do a rough karaoke timing.
Edit: Thanks for the WP's, Rebecky
-
The opening was ok, but not as memorable as "We Are!". It'll probably grow on me more later.
I'm kinda disappointed they left the line about Kidd and Drake in the new world out. And the censoring of Sanji's "greeting" to Iva :(. But that was expected.
All that is made ok because of "Bone to be Wild!" though. Whoever does that guitar riff is awesome.
-
This opening is going to grow on you the more you listen to it. Just like with the other ones.

I knew that I had heard it somewhere before but I couldnt for the life of me figure out where.
Finally can stop thinking about it -
I really hope this opening works like the Impel Down one, where new characters were shaded in/fully shown as they were introduced. Not putting in Decken and Hody's colors still has me butthurt. But I'm also hoping this opening lasts until at least halfway into the next arc.. because I want these openings to last (unlike the last two). I don't know about you, but I don't want the series to end up with 40 openings to its name.
This opening is going to grow on you the more you listen to it. Just like with the other ones.
I-I .. Yeah, this is true. I started out thinking the song was meh, but the more I listen to it, the more it grows on me. And this is just the first night. Still not the best, though.
-
Glorious stuff! One Piece is on fire right now, also Nami is best.
-
I can't wait until someone makes a parody of the fakes based on their voice actors. Just imagining Sanji shooting random people with an evil grin, or Chopper with a sinister look… though I can imagine Franky with a Sogeking mask for some reason.
Yep, hearing fake Sogeking insult Usopp (before Usopp shows up) reminds me exactly of Franky back at Water 7, before we saw his face.

I love that this opening finally brings to light the implied "X marks the spot" effect the Grand line and Redline make on the OP Earth
-
After watching Funi's subs several times, I'm feeling a bit picky about them. "It's important that we don't wake up"? Come on, Funi. I went literal in my translations, but they're pretty accurate nonetheless.
Here's to hoping that Tanaka voices Fake Robin! And K. Yamaguchi voicing Fake Zoro, Kazuya voicing Fake Sanji… That leaves Okamura or Y. Yamaguchi to voice Fake Chopper. Wow, that's a nice selection. Already impatient for next week...
-
mmMMMmmmm that hit the spot, that hit the spot just right.
We go is growing on me fast, it's gonna be right up there.
Everything is so new and fresh, I feel all giddy
-
Hey guys, just translated it. As usual, I did take some liberties, like changing "Four" to "Oh" just because I thought it sounded better, as well as changing up the end a bit. Try reading along with this:
YTwHAOooooh~ Can't stand still- I can't stop
The break of day- hasn't come yet- An' I just can't waiiit~
One, Two, Sunshine oh~ We Go~!Now we raise our flag for the Break of Romance Dawn!
Get up from your sleep- lets all go make waves!
Jump an' start- if you wanna go to the crazy brand new world~
You know- all it takes- is your newfound toughness~!Being brazen- is it a crime now?
We think Wanted- means Winner :D
An' freedom is the one and only rule- that we live by~It's just not our way- to worry away~
Get One Piece- I'll be the first-
My ever dreaming heart will succeed- Oh you will see~
My life's been like a dream- don't wake me~Can't stand still- I can't stop
The break of day- hasn't come yet- An' I just can't waiiit~
1, 2, Sunshine oh~ We Go~!All of you an' me…We have made it now- this far~
Our skills have carried us to- our wildest dreams an' now-
we won't leave anyone behind~~~Keep movin' forward- that's been our objective
Since the day our dreams began
My bright future- that I see- it hasn't changed- not one bit~Can't stand still- I can't stop
This sunny heart will never set- An' I just can't waiiit~One, Two, Sunshine~
Feel that Sunshine~
One, Two, Sunshine oh~ We Go~!WE GO~!!
After translating it and really soaking in the meaning of the words, I must say that I like the song a whole lot more now.
May come back and change any typos and such later. -
I really enjoyed every aspect of this episode! God if the quality of the animation could just last like this for the rest of the series I would be extremely pleased!
Too bad Sanji didn't get to flip off the okamas.
-
Been looking forward to this episode for ages. I have so much to say about it, lol, even if I try to hold back. First off, I thought it was pretty good. Not necessarily spectacularly great to match up with my totally unrealistic expectations. But still pretty good.
First, the opening. I love the animation, but I'm not really all that high on the song yet. It'll probably grow on me, but I felt better about the last two opening songs right away than I did for this one. I don't think it's bad, either, and it will likely only sound better as I get used to it, so I'm not really complaining. The cross of bones at the beginning instead of an x of bones sort of confuses me, but whatever. The thing that really sticks out to me right now is seeing Sunny use a second Coup de Burst while airborne from a different one before it. It's not canon, but I sure hope it will be! Lots of cool little sequences in the opening, but I don't really want to list them.
Now, the good things I liked about the actual episode. The art was mostly good overall, which is always a big point of emphasis for me more than anything else. Brook's and Robin's scenes totally stole the episode for me. Brook's song was freaking great, and Robin's little disappearing act was a nice little touch. I also liked Zoro's little filler scene. Next, the voice acting all around was good. The fakehat crew voices being done by alternate members of the main cast is hysterical, especially Chopper playing Fake Nami and Franky playing Fake Sogeking. There are only 7 fakehats who speak, so 2 of the main cast will be left out, and I assume Luffy will be one of them. I also like the slight changes a few of the main cast made to their voices to mimic the passing of 2 years.
As for the ultra nitpicky bad stuff. Franky's little filler scene was totally messed up from a timeline perspective. As in, 10 days too late. Also Usopp paying for Nami's drinks. Booooooo, Toei! I liked it a lot better when she stole them. And Sanji flipping the okamas off was unfortunately removed, but that was to be expected after they did the same thing with Law. Finally, I was a little disappointed about how the initial conversation about the Straw Hats recruiting was handled. Putting those guys in the same bar as Nami caught me a little off guard, but more than that the scene of the random guy getting stabbed and the comments about Kid and Drake didn't make the episode, which was mildly disappointing. Finally, I'm a touch sad that the Cheshire Cat at the beginning wasn't included.
And on the neutral front, we had fairly big scenes from Sanji and Chopper in chapter 598 that didn't make it into this episode. So forget 1 chapter per episode. At this rate, it'll be 5 chapters per 6 episodes, and I don't even feel it in the pacing. That's actually rather encouraging. The eyecatches seemed fine, but the way it was repeated makes me nervous about the variety. So long as there's sufficient variety, I'll be happy with it. As for the new preview music, eh, I'm not sure yet. Finally, Toei seems to be monkeying with the order of appearances a bit, but it doesn't really seem to matter.
Definitely looking forward to next week.
-
All and all a great kick off for the second half, everything looked great and seeing these scenes finally animated after reading them over so many times over the past year was fantastic. Definitely worth the wait and it also filled the void i felt after having no chapter this week, i can hardly contain my excitement for next week.
-
But Luffy voicing Cocoa (Fake Robin) would be hilarious. So would Usopp voicing Fake Zoro and Zoro voicing Drip (Fake Sanji). Just for completion's sake, let one of the ladies voice Fake Chopper.
Quite surprised that the pacing, while still very slow, isn't dragging. Adding in filler material that was implied beforehand really can make an episode work without moving too quickly.
-
cant wait for the almighty
! cucumber next week

The cross of bones at the beginning instead of an x of bones sort of confuses me, but whatever.
This is why

Also Usopp paying for Nami's drinks. Booooooo, Toei! I liked it a lot better when she stole them.
That kinda bugged me too. While it makes Usopp look cooler, it kinda devalues them as "Pirates". Especially Nami, who's used to doing stuff like that.
-

Ah yeah, that makes sense. In that case, I think they should have tilted the map instead of the bones, lol. The map is drawn crooked anyways.
-
Oh god, dat op <3
I like the eyecatch, although I hope it's only temporary. Usopp in marshmallow hell made me laugh.
edit: How could I forget about "Bone to be Wild"? That was glorious.
-
This is why

Bugged me too, and besides, what is TOei's consistence anyway?
Nami not paying was bad… Nami blowing up the place on a whim its Ok?
I believe she did way more property damage in $ and medical fees -the poor scorched bartender lol- than stealing a few drinks...
Also Brook's BONE to be WILD was epic!
-
watch the new opening , was kinda of disappointing with the 1st part of the opening but the passing the straw hat transgression skyrockting the disappointment out of the world.[ it was actually roger-teenage shark-shark-kid luffy -2 year ago luffy - the 2 year current luffy] . after rewatching a few times im notice there are few scenes that styled after a few of the previous op/ed. the running , the shoes spread , the shipbattle,the eyecatcher. they are all awesome too tired to search for the excatly op/ed. will do it when im awake if nobody want to give it a shot. also the new intermission is the highlight for me it was very nice , extremely nice ,supppppppppppppperrrrrrr nice ! and it's time we have some new for that, hope there will be a few more of these to rotate around the new arc . the song by Hiroshi Kitadani its about weird at the start i guess that is to show his vocal talent. the fusion style of modern pop/rock/jazz/piano goes with his singing as well with the opening.
ps Al!naJames @ post 200 u beat me to it for that gif but i would not go that fast with the timming :P
-
I gave up watching the anime in 2009 after Sabaody, I got sick of the 1 chapter-1 episode pacing but i watched episodes 408-516 in 1 week in preperation for this episode.
Even though this episode didn't even cover 1 whole chapter just seeing everyone after the time skip was awesome, and the new opening kicks ass. I wnat a full version of bone to be wild as well!
I still miss the days of 5 chapter arcs having 2/3 episodes like good ol captain morgan arc
oh well I'll look on the bright side, its better than filler. just gonna take till 2012 before wee see any fishman island characters animated :(
-
Nami not paying was bad… Nami blowing up the place on a whim its Ok?
I believe she did way more property damage in $ and medical fees -the poor scorched bartender lol- than stealing a few drinks...
Nami didn't care, she didn't pay. It was Usopp.
-
I was really satisfied with how this came out. Told myself I wouldn't watch it until I had a good 4 or 5 episodes piled up to watch but here i am..
Potential problem with eyecatcher: if that's the go-to eyecatcher for the next major stretch of series, it's going to be awkward if/when they add a crewmate in Fishman Island.
I'm hoping that they have other individual ones. I mean, I always found the need for a group one when they have those episodes where everyone plays a large role but they end up shipping two random people from it
-
They can show Ussop's hard-on phallic nose between Nami's ginormous tits in full detail, but they can't show Sanji giving the Okamas the finger. Kind of double morale here. :O
Other than that, I really loved the episode. I'm gonna go get used to the new opening now. :D
-
Nami didn't care, she didn't pay. It was Usopp.
did you read my post at all?
I know Nami didn't care and Usopp was the one that paid…
I was just commenting on Toei's double standards FOR THEM "Nami not paying was NOT okay, but Nami blowing up the place was good"
My comment was that I was actually disapointed on that, I've read the manga too I KNOW she didn't pay and she doesn't care; I'm pretty much okay with it, its OC; I'm not okey with Toei its double standard morale :P
(like, not showing Sanji giving the finger to the Okamas, but showing that Usopp Nose between Nami's boobs scene)
-
Zoro : "they never change"
I fckin LOLed to that.
-
-
Is it just me or is the Simulcast not working?…
-
Is it just me or is the Simulcast not working?…
Yeah, I was having issues with it earlier. It eventually worked after awhile. Just keep trying, it should eventually work.
-
I had to reload it about 15 times before it finally came up, and now it's buffering every 2 seconds. I even tried to let it buffer and let some of the episode load, but that doesn't seem to be working. The bar won't fill up beyond a certain point…
