yup downloaded and watched it already. Its the best TV Special so far.
WOOOO!! Can't wait to watch!
THX a lot GERUSAMA!
well i guess i should watch it since i missed the raw.
Another pandaman sighting in Nami+Sanji's restaurant.
Yeah that time it was obvious. I really liked luffys new moves in this special it was awesome. This is the first special i've seen and i'm impressed.
*snip from eps 254 comment (which is wrongfully posted -_-)
I think this is the best special of the four. Alternate Universe, but handled very well. Besides, tons of the side characters made cameos!
Old jokes about eating and red noses, but it was good ^^
Usopp rocks ^^b although sometimes I want Toei to give him more chance. They're not Kahn, dammit.
This special is great. Going alternate reality is really a great move Toei pulled here and I seriously hope that the next specials are going to be like that too. Oda gave us lots of alternate reality color spreads so why not have more specials in that spirit?
Though lots of stuff entertained me in this special the most important thing that needs a mention is the animation. Damn was it good. This is how anime One Piece characters have to look like!!! Not only did the characters look great but the entire animation was superb. Zoro´s cannon for instance was done very very well. The only thing that saddens me is that this top notch quality got wasted on a special instead of a main story stuff. Compare the animation of this special to the one of episode 254 and you´ll see a difference like day and night.
Well you can't keep up constant quality for weekly eps, it damn too tiresome and time consuming, not to mention they actually have ot watch that they don't advance too much in the story .And … Specials are supposed to be special.
and Zoro needs more screen time in the next special :biggrin:
Of course it is harder to keep the quality up on a weekly base that is clear. But still it so painful to watch how a needles though entertaining special gets top notch handling while that what makes One Piece, in other words the main story gets treated so poorly. :sad:
Next Special should involve the Wild West and have the Strawhats as Cowboys.
Nah, they should follow their example of the color spread in the most recent chapter 401…
! …and become cavemen. Even I changed from pirate to caveman:

Or, how about modern age? Or…PIRATES IN SPAAAAACE... XD
I always hated future stuff (Space, Robots, etc..)
woohoo! can't wait to download this… i wish i knew how to download eps from my mac laptop....
Damn that was a good special.. first time I really enjoyed a special! I hope there will be more like this.

My thoughts exactly! They should put the team that did this special on all the eps.
Fact is, having this kinda animation for weekly episodes would be alot more expensive. Most animated movie & specials around the world get defferent worse/better animation than the series cause well…its not a series its one thing.

I dunno.. just look at the skypiea arc or hell, all the eps before.. they all had pretty constant art/animation.
Anyway.. one thing I've been meaning to ask:
A spelling thing. I remember watching an anime, Jyubei-chan the ninja girl, and they wrote how they called the boss "oyabin".. and I remember some gerusama eps writing it down as "oyabin" too (in those Foxy filler ones.. dug up an old screenie: http://www.jackyboy.be/oyabin.jpg ) But then those guys that released the foxy arc wrote it as "oyabun". So here I got confused.
And now in this episode gerusama writes it as "oyabun". Ok.. but at one instance in the special, when the kids say it, it is "oyabin" again. More confusion.
So my question is: are there maybe differences in meaning between "oyabin" and "oyabun" or is it just different spellings for the same thing? And both being used in one episode.. did that have a meaning or a slip-up of sorts?
@jackvance:

Skypiea…constant suck animation. :laugh: Like Buuhan said, if they could have animation that good for the bulk of the series, they would, but they can't for time and money's sake.

It might not be on par with something like movie 4 animation, but it is definately better than what we saw in 254.. 10x better, atleast.
You know, any time the animation doesn't make me think 'god this is awful' is good enough for me. Movie 4 made me think 'holy cow this is amazing!' but I don't have such standards for run-of-the-mill episodes.. I really wish they just put a team like before on these newer episodes, where the animation is kinda constant and normal, rather than alternating between hideous and great.
I don´t care if the animation isn´t top notch as long as the artwork is superb. This sucky B team that does Water 7 is completely lacking the skill to get facial expressions over. That´s a really big problem because in One Piece many funny moments are dependant on facial expressions. If the right team is animating an episode, I sometimes even laugh just because of the faces, but with that B team you actually always get the same expressions with the widely opened mouth. I´ve put some examples of that under spoiler:

The artwork in Skypiea was good. The animation and sound effects (especially conserning Enel´s DF) could have been much better.
Besides, Toei didn´t seem to have a problem to constantly release episodes with top notch quality in back at Drum. The quality wasn´t any less then in this special.

Shit that made me laugh! XD
I think if Toei ever does another special that takes place in another time period, they should do a Noir one. It would be in all black and white. It probably won't happen, though.
loved this special! made me feel all warm inside seeing the Alabasta characters again…and Gedatsu..lol
I enjoyed watching this :biggrin: It has beautiful colours. It wasn't that funny but it wasn't bad neither.
And kind of offtopic: Does anyone know where I could download 3rd special? Not Kaizoku's, I'll accept raws or hk-subs or anything, as long they're .avi. Kaizoku's mp4 doesn't work with my computer :mellow:
Thanks to whomever uploaded this onto youtube…I probably couldn't have seen it any other way.
...
After seeing the Edo, Baseball, and Soccer specials, I would rank this as probably my second favourite; the Soccer King special was insane, even without "Odacchi". XD
i can not find where is the torrent url on gerusama.com, or my eyes is getting older???
You´re eyes are getting older. The Torrent is right here. It´s the second one from the bottom of the list.
ah … i thought that one piece special 4 was not Edo Era Special ....
I really enjoyed the special. Really good animation. The story was good and I laughed at many parts. Was it just me or did Luffy seem smarter?
For the next special, maybe a continuation of the Edo Era. I wouldn't mind seeing them in a different era like Medievil Europe or our modern time.
I would also think it would be pretty good and funny if they did a spoof of another series like Naruto.
I enjoyed this special. Definitely, better than the standard One Piece specials (1st 3)…
Skypiea…constant suck animation. :laugh: Like Buuhan said, if they could have animation that good for the bulk of the series, they would, but they can't for time and money's sake.
yeah, i noticed that too… the animation in alabasta was pretty good for the most part, most notably the fights coughep 119cough but skypiea... yeah. they just looked really wonky most of the time.
that is really one of the best TV specials not bad , not bad ^^
