To everyone who hates the opening! F*CK YOU ALL!!!
One of the best opening ever!:wub:Watched One Piece since 2001.
I'm there with ya bro. Everybody's complaining about the most pathetic reasons but this opening is gold.

Nah, 90% of the people complaining complain about everything anime-related.
Hey, i just realized Law is barely in it. Another PRO.
Is there a possibility to get rid of the ugly text in front of Bartolomeo's face
Is there any greater proof about how few shits Toei gives that they didn't even bother using BB's current design. Hello, wrap him and the crew in darkness? Easy out? Creates suspense?
Fucking idiots.
I also like how Toei's idea of celebrating the series' 15th anniversary was… put the crew into new outfits.
How about, I don't know, a series of shots with the series' greatest moments reanimated? A trip down memory lane like that awesome sequence in Fight Together
But no, they couldn't even be assed to draw the characters in the fucking opening on model. But I guess that's what happens when the crew starts getting lazy and staring off vacuously into the sunset for the billionth time. Go do your training, get those models back in form.
--- Update From New Post Merge ---
The whole thing screams marketing. New outfits for the 15TH ANNIVERSARY FIGURES! Be sure to fetch the new limited edition Blackbeard with the same pose as in the opening!
Kids, stay tuned! Those admirals sure are cool in fights!
And there's another thing that bothers me: The kidsification of the SHs. Nami gives a little wink after pickpocketing someone maybe, but here she's just some vapid bimbo that winks to be cute. The lyrics read more and more like themes that are meant to be chanted by elementary school kids, with your standard "inspirational" GO! FIGHT! DREAM! YOU CAN DO IT! YAAYYY. Of course OP does have an element of that, but not to that ridiculous schoolyard-y extent. And isn't it kind of fucked up to be chasing after kids that young as your demographic when OP has so many dark/disturbing things I'm not sure 7-year-olds are ready for
Admiral level monster trio??? Give me a break, lol.
considering that rayleight was able to keep up with kizaru in his older years,it's possible that when we will reach the end of the manga,the monster trio will be so strong to take on the admirals in a 1 vs 1.
even marco and jozu did fairly well against the admirals before losing because distracted by WB illness
Pretty good opening.
The monster trio vs the admirals was good fanservice.
The costumes look great, especially Franky and the girls.
I just wish they used Chopper's human form instead of having him jump to be "on-camera".
Well it's good, but wake up!4x really annoying.

Marco didn't lose…like Joz. He fighted the three admirals.
I have no words…
Except for:
"Hey, John Giant's having a fist-fight with Frankymus Prime!"
Way to go John, having a sword and not using it and all that...
Also, Kibin (you know, that Marine Rear-Admiral that got one shotted at MF) starts to become Toei's Marine Mascot. He's in this opening, while Onigumo and Doberman didn't even make it. Did anyone notice Dalmatian there? I did~.
! And Bastille isn't even there, the only VA that's even in this Arc (not counting Maynard)
I gotta say - I found it to be an awesome opening.
Not sure what everyone else was expecting but I think its a perfect opening and just lighthearted enough to make it special.
Has anyone made a translation of this opening yet?
This is just wet dream material.
Well, new opening was just as shit as all the others. Generic hanging out together on the ship, then generic fighting, all devoid of any style, all to an atrocious song :(
Also it seems like some parts were from new movie/special promotion or something
But who cares, Dressrosa is on bitches!
Looks like nobody got the opening. Monster trio dreamt about fighting Akainu+Fujitora+Kizaru, then they woke up.

And everyone else dreamed about fighting random marines, then Luffy also freamed about fighting Blackbeard and then everyone additionaly dreamed about posing?
Yeah… how about you stuck your head out of your ass and stop thinking even for a second you can "understand" something everyone else can't. In an anime for 8 year olds.

did you get fucked in the wrong hole last night or did you take the wrong pills this morning
take your bitching elsewhere
It felt like the opening for a fighting game. I guess one of those old One Piece games' openings for PS1 had a similar moment… maybe I'm wrong.
I actually liked the opening for that reason. Always thought and wished openings were more like video game openings. COMPLETELY ORIGINAL. The worst part of this opening for me was the dressrosa stuff at the end. I'm gonna see that shit later in the anime anyway, don't need to see it in an opening. When they use all arc stuff feels like i'm just watching someone AMV. I like it being completely new stuff and random filler opening as one would say.
Also whats with people saying spoilers? seriously if you haven't read the manga openings never spoild (besides the robin joining crew one). Just cause it shows a character for 1/2 a second doesn't mean your spoiled. I hear all the time how amazing one pieces story is, and the plot twists and the backstories and the ect ect ect. But somehow all that amazing writing of Oda is spoiled in 10 seconds of an opening? Makes me laugh. Somehow when someone sees a quick glance of Moria in an opening at the start of Thriller bark, a anime only reader will instantly be like "OMG thats a warlord, and he has shadow powers and he is going to steal the strawhats shadows and htey can't go into the sun ect ect ect." Cause of course that 1 second shot of moria laughing spoiled all that from the manga.
If I had to sum up the opening in one word: Busy.
Liked the song. Wish Zoro had a pimp hat to go with his coat. My continuity fanboy side didn't like the VS Admirals part but my action side loved it. Only real gripes is lack of Law and how out of place pre-timeskip BB pirates are.

I clicked on the video, thinking that it was an ordinary video. Worst decision of my life.

Well he's got the trademark of The Youtube Elite, being ludicrously loud without substance. So I think this video of a frizzy-haired agitated howler monkey may rise to the pantheon of Youtube.
The fighting scenes were a bit odd, but well-executed, so I won't complain XD Only that the Dressrosa-Part was so painfully short.
Also, even though it's only a minor plot twist, they shouldn't have
! shown Violet among the Doflamingo-family. She's introduced as civilian
and that placement might give it away to some people.
I can't possibly hate an opening in which the Strawhats take on every marine in the known world converging on the Sunny Go plus Blackbeard's crew just to keep things interesting. How do you top that? Some qulity animation and art throughout. Hardly and static patches in this one. The music was good enough and the tempo and on-screen action pumps you up like a good shounen opening should.
That opening sequence is so bizarre Chopper, Usopp and Luffy chasing a beetle around the ship, the suddenly a MILLION Navy ships after them with Usopp willingly taking them on and winning. All during a sequence where Nami kicks their collective asses. Which makes me wonder if Aikanu, Fujitora and Kizaru busted in on Nami showering, would the encounter have ended the same way?
Also Zoro takes on Zatoichi (alias Fujitora). Can't argue with that.
Oh god…... Congratulations you are now the most disturbing One Piece fan-boy. I feel ashamed for everyone.
I would like to punch this guy in the face. Hard. So hard he'll have a legit reason for screaming like that.
What a clusterfuck.
Wait has Fujitora actually shown up yet in the anime.
It was a pretty nice opening. Doesn't stand as tall as Share the World, Fight Together or One Day, but it's better than Hands Up! and about on par with We Go. Those Admiral fights were surprising, but unfortunately because of them anime-only fans will get their expectations way too high for Dressrosa (which is a good arc, anyway). Well, fanservice all the way, both fighting-wise and clothing-wise (Robin was more than half naked, really), but its fast pace and above average animation are the strong points of Wake Up!, that's for sure.
The spoilers are indeed there, and it's sad. At least one of the spoilerish things is shown for about a second, so the excitement of the anime watchers can still pe high up.
@Cyan:
Wait has Fujitora actually shown up yet in the anime.
Not until next week.
The opening was pretty cool, not the best though. My favorite part was definitely the Zoro vs that marine fight, it looked awesome!

All of the openings are marketing. They're all commercials for people to purchase the resppective band's latest single. The show itself if a commercial for the comic. I get what you're saying but it's not like this opening has any less integrity than the other ones. As for the demographic thing, unless you're someone that has done extensive research in Japanese culture I'm not sure it's your place ot judge what material they deem acceptable for their children, of which One Piece is clearly a part of.
@Rogues':
Because they make Nami & Robin look like whores?
:ninja:
Oda does the same thing so you can't blame Toei. Okay, maybe in the opening is a bit much, but most of those are scenes we've seen or will see in the manga.
And call me a pervert or biased toward these two but they look damn fine and I'm not bothered by the fanservice.
The opening itself is the weirdest One Piece opening to date. The animation is superb but the content is confusing as fuck, and the dialogue in the middle of the opening feels out of place. It's cool, mind you, but as others said, it feels like it will throw anime viewers off, almost like the anime is ending soon or something when it's clearly not.
Monster trio versus admirals was nice looking but farfetched. I'd rather have seen them fighting against Doflamingo and his crew than that.
As for the song, well it was okay, but I'm honestly not feeling it like I did right away with Hands Up. But at least the simulcast finally got the damn thing.
i like the song but after watching it again i find the whole fujitora spoiling stupid seeing as the first half is unnecessary
The opening further establishes the Nami > the world's male population tier when she's caught bathing. Still unclear how the crew's going to exploit that, though.
It's cool, mind you, but as others said, it feels like it will throw anime viewers off, almost like the anime is ending soon or something when it's clearly not.
While it certainly didn't feel like that to me, rather than just some wish fulfillment fanservice, that is certainly a valid complaint. For someone who doesn't read the manga at all, what other conclusion can be drawn?
@Mr.:

Exactly. Those of us who read the manga know better but others may be a bit confused seeing Luffy showdown against Blackbeard. Even if it's meant as fanservice, I just feel it was the wrong move on Toei's part to show Blackbeard when Oda hasn't revealed his new look or the rest of his other crew save Burgess. They could have used that to animate other Dressrosa match-ups or something, you know, or at least made an imaginary Luffy vs. Doflamingo fight instead since it's obviously going to come by the end of this arc.
Is there a possibility to get rid of the ugly text in front of Bartolomeo's face
Sure, but it's very hard.
I removed the text from Cabbage's face, might do Barto's later.
!
I liked this opening. The fights with the admirals got me pumped. Blackbeard was kind of weird and too prevalent considering he's not the focus of this arc. Could've used more Doflamingo and Dressrosa. My only other gripe is Robin's dress. There's low cut, and then there's we'd see bush if she didn't shave. I got a similar feeling when we first saw Nami in the super short cut jeans post timeskip. It's a bit ridiculous.

I suppose you're right, but it's as though they've ditched any veneer of seeing OP as anything other than a money machine with children as money printing vectors. It's so transparent now.
Song is okay, I guess. But really, SHs fighting the Admirals?! And then BB?!? No wonder everybody thinks they can take them on :/ (but it looked cool I guess and that's what they're going for).
And then they go on and spoil some of the best stuff happening on Dressrosa…bad for anime viewers, good for me, those scenes looked great!

Wow I'm so glad I unsubscribe to him a long time ago. He gets on my nerve. Did he think he's funny or something? That's embarrassing.
