My last and final worry. We've seen a lot of scenes now that mimic the original story almost too closely. I was/am hoping for some original material….
It seems to make sense that they wouldn't show very much new stuff, so as not to spoil it.

Nah, they all looked new to me. I am pumped for this movie, looks fantastic.
OO!!!!
Has anyone posted the scan double fold thing that came in jump 13. OMG!! It's the coolest thing ever.
It's the covers of 21 and 22 in the animation for the movie. I have to say this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen.
Some of them look new. Luffy riding at Pell looks alot more well done, what with sand flying everywhere.
Besides, they probably don't want to release the original material because they want the movie to feature something new.
shrugs
=( No more new pics??
I didn't see any more on the Toei site after Koza =(

Both of them are fricken OoC. XDD
I keep asking myself, "how much of Alabasta are they gonna squeeze into the movie?" Still, I'm very psyched for it and I have faith that it will be a bitchin' adaptation of that already bitchin' arc!
EDIT I'd also like to mention that I want one of those "mark of friendship" rub-on tattoos!
haha geez, i actually ask myself the same thing. How much Alabasta can they squeeze into (what i assume is) a one and a half to two hour movie?
either way its going to be sweet, i am looking forward to this!

She's unconcious? I wonder how that will play out since she gave Luffy the antidote…he doesn't even look poisoned.
…but...she was always unconscious in that part..
^
I don't recall. Thought she was concious the whole time luffy was fighting with Croc.
I lol'd at the OOC-ness of those new images. They do look great, however.
Now here is the question. Do I want a piss-quality cam version of this movie, and ruin the entire revampedness of Alabasta, or wait EVEN LONGER until the DVD comes out.
Damn hard choices.
Im gonna wait. Shouldnt be too bad a wait.
I hate cam versions. Reason I dont buy bootlegs. Ruins the expirience.
^What do you guys think??
Could barely tell a difference in animation between that and the anime. A comparison shot would help, however.
Then again, the backround looks pretty nice.
Do my eyes lie, or is Crocodile's outfit actually green?

The rock is the best part.
It's so detailed.
@EvilGamerX:

Why, I do believe it is.
:o
I don't like the detail in that rock and that background. They draw the attention away from the characters, especially that rock right in the middle.
Looks like they indeed with Crocodile's green jacket like in the manga. It was like that in the Vivi giving him head pic but I thought it might have been the lighting. What threw me was in the head shot pics we had in a while his collar fuzz is still grey.
But it looks like they still have him with zombie skin, purple hair, and orange sleeves…
Looks like the Website has been updated. We now got character bio's of the Straw Hats, Baroque Works, and Alabasta Residences (Like Cobra, Tutu, Pell, Kohza, Charka, etc..).
AAAAAAAAAAAAND
Awesome. I wanna see how he fully pulls that hook cover off in HQ. XD
(Probably just cut the shot and then have him throw it.)
But I tell ya….I know they are underground but...where's all the shiny?
OO!!!!

I went to the Japan Centre in central London today and saw shonen jump issue 13 for £3.30, So I got it and scanned the fold out poster for Movie 8. But my scanner is s*** so I resized it to 1400x900. If anyone wants the bigger version just ask.

(Sorry for mashing the post together and if anythings not correct.)
Well Oda did color his sleeves orange on one of the five colors pics with Crocodile, and in one of the pictures his pimp coat was greyish and not green.
And Nami's clothes were pink in the manga but a mix of blue and purple in the anime.

Pretty cool poster though. Now how about some actual information about the movie two days before its release?

lol, why'd it scare you?
The movie is coming out tomorrow. Is there a new screenshot on the official site?
new pic up:
Is it me, or does Luffy look really muscular there? lol
Weeeeeell, what the hell. I've got a shitload of free time on my hands what with the school year finishing etc. I guess I'll attempt to go see it today. Dunno if I'll get a ticket but wish me luck. Either way it's better than rotting around the apartment.
wha!
I wish I can watch that movie..I guess I'll be waiting in youtube again just like last year.
you know if One Piece had an animation quality like that in their movies, I bet some people will start appreciating one piece.
I really love their animation styles ever since movie 7 came out XD

totally envy you greg. good luck though. If you do see it tell us how it is.
Well, he texted my e-mail and said that it is starting. So basically, he is seeing it. I expect a review when you get back Greg!
Greg! Swap eyes with me, NOW!
Here I am playing Grand Adventure and hes getting to see Movie 8, who do you think is having the more One Piece experience right now?
Lucky ass Greg. Hopefully you'll post some of your impressions.
I totally envy you greg, I hope you enjoy it!
@On:
I'm back!!!
One word review: So-so. Is that one word or two words?…
I'll come back and elaborate. But lots of special guests at the premiere, including the most specialist of guests!
Ok. First to show up were the two comedians who you might have seen in the trailers. The woman walked up by herself. I almost didn't recognize her dressed normally without makeup. The guy came later in a car and bolted into the theater. By the way, this was early so I was almost the only one there. Later when the line grew and show time got closer, the seiyu and costumed mugiwara crew walked in. Same as last year. Then, right before they let us in the one and only EIICHIRO ODA(I think he deserves bold all caps) walked right by me very casually with two other guys. One of them shook his hand and congratulated him on the movie and then the three of them went in. I don't think people expected him to walk throught in front of the theater so nonchalantly. I didn't see anyone notice him.
As for the movie. First they showed a Dr.Slump short which was ok and in that short they introduced the One Piece movie. That was a nice touch. Music first. I think there are a couple of new pieces but I'd say 90% of the score was taken from the other movies. I specifically noticed pieces from M2, 3, 5 and a lot from 6 and 7. Maybe there was stuff from 4 but I can't remember. Also there were a couple of classic OP tracks from the TV show. So I don't know what the CD will be like. Maybe a best of movie or something. On the cheap Toei! Ironically, they didn't use the Movie 2 track that opened all the Arabasta episodes in the TV show.
Animation:Overall, it was ok but I was really surprised at how weak it was in so many places. Some of the drawing was pretty disappointing, compared to the other movies. Usually, the characters looked very similar to the Movie 7 style(sans bouncy boobies), but a couple of times, especially at the end of the Luffy/Croc fight, it looks a lot like Movie 6: animation and actual scenes, but only briefly. Really inconsistent animation, imo. Probably a lot of people won't care about this, though. It's just me. The story is really compressed, of course. It often felt rushed and not as well paced as other movies. I might have felt different had I not already seen the entire TV arc though. The action scenes were somewhat uninspiring for the most part. Choreography was of the action was just boring too often. Zoro's fight was a little better than the others, imo.
No Smoker and Ace, btw.
tbc…
Sounded like a dissapointment. But…
He.Saw.Oda.
O.O
EDIT: "This part I'm not sure about but after the credits there's a very brief clip showing all the latest, updated mugiwara bounties as shown in the recent manga chapters and I THINK it's an announcement for Movie 9. That's right. It went by fast, so it was hard to follow but that was my impression."
Sounds interesting!
Um, sound all rather underwhelming. Inconsistent animation in a MOVIE has me worried (TV animation I can accept, but a movie?), and the mostly recycled score really just bugs me.
Yeah, it does sound dissapointing. Oh well, atleast Crocodile is in it (which is always good).
Greg said it sucked and that after the credits movie 9 was announced with Franky. But I'm sure he'll go into detail later.
Well, if it sucked, then that broke the "even number movies being good" rule… Bummer.
Oh well, so it sucked….very disappointing.
@EvilGamerX:
Greg said it sucked and that after the credits movie 9 was announced with Franky.
Sounds like an apology of sorts.
"Sorry we copped out with this year's movie, we'll do better next time around"
i was really looking forward to it… too bad it suck...
but still, ima watch it when its out...
But really… If they even managed to make a movie with a canon storyline suck... then... Can't say I'm very hopeful for the next one. >_>
