I liked the new opening..it kind of gave it a calypso-y, tropical vacation feel..kind of suited for the next arc.
And look who showed up in the opening!

The goat. Hell yeah.
who the hell is AKIRA? >_>
The goat showed up…but no shadow of Kizaru...yeah.
The OP footage isn't the problem considering it is the 10th year commemoration...but they really should have done a better job...especially since "We Are" is just a classic, great, up-tempo anime opening they really don't make anymore.
I just hope it will last for 10-15 episodes, just to finish the Thriller Bark, and then something new for the fillers and Sabaody.
I'm really liking this episode. The animation's really good.
Fuck yeah, movie 9 animation
Oz is getting defeated in animation was awesome!!!
Muahaha… epic episode. Great Zoro-moment, great animation, great Lola-yatta-moment.
Giant Bazooka was AWESOME! I also especially liked all of Brook's yohohos.
Seriously, this was one of the best 1st half this series ever had. Freaking awesome shit right there.
Wow, the finishing combo on Odz was practically PERFECT! Awesome episode so far!
If this episode was a beautiful woman…
I would marry her.
/flapjack
That was seriously friggin awesome!
Nice ep so far.
Loved the team attack!
Episode is compensation for the opening ^^
Edit: done
The cerberus in the group picture was a nice touch, was that in the manga?
EDIT- Eh, so he was there, couldn't remember if he was or wasn't.
facepalm I'll fix that. Can you remove that from your comment?
The animation of the Gigant Bazooka was awesome!
Ooo bonus blurry moving screen from the opening caught.
The opening's already on Youtube. LQ, with very choppy frames, and downright bad audio, but it's there if you want to see it.
The music, bad audio aside, sounds rather crappy. But I'm surprised that they showed nearly every character in the series, and that they showed Luffy going Gear Second on Thriller Bark, though they made it look like he was using it against Odz. Art still looks like it's by Hisada, though I'll need to see a much higher quality clip to fully judge.
Okay, Moria's large form is just plain creepy.
Oh my God, Nightmare Moria's voice is scary!
Giganto Bazooka, brutal. Shadow Asgard, perfect.
Beautiful episode.
Ahaha, wow. Nightmare Moria is awesome
Overall great episode; one of the best.
Wow O_O SHADOWS ASGUARDO
(i love the japanese way of pronouncing english words)
Nightmare Moria was…. well it creeped me out. o_o
So Nightmare Moria is green? Can't say I like it, but whatever.
The opening… sucks.
So Nightmare Moria is green?
Well, he's a….gecko
Well, in UC he was his regular pasty white, so….
OMG Nightmare Moria is so freakin scary!!! Who animated this!?! THey should keep doing it for now on! And to the people who thought the new opening sucks. The Music is epic and its awesome and so is the animation. If you have a freaking problem with the lack of supernovas, Kizaru, and I can't believe nobody mentioned Duval. Well I expect the opening to change after thriller bark. Or for it to change after well….. You can fill in the blank for me i don't want to jinx us.
Holy crap Shadow Asgard Moria's voice was epic
Opening- Great remake of We Are
Episode- It was so awesome!
Epic episode, really made up for the crappy opening IMO
Ah, a game VS animation? Interesting, should be plenty of fallout from that.
Who animated this!?! THey should keep doing it for now on!
Takeo Ide, probably his best episode along with 236 (Luffy vs Usopp).
Next week is obviously by Naoki Tate, movie 9 guy.
Can someone explain why this is crappy?? To me if they change up the animation in the opening to the future arcs then it would IMO would = Brand new world at the most.
I'm really loving the new opening. I'm listing to it for the 4th time right now. xD
Yeah, well I guess UC isn't a really good basis for canon. (Nightmare Luffy's voice comes to mind) And green Moria isn't too much of a big deal, I mean, it's more of just a greenish tone.
It's a shame they dropped at least the spirit of the original song and jumped on this EXILE-inspired R&B shit-fest that 'the kids' are into 'these days'.
edit:
I take that back. It's like they fused Johnny's WITH Exile in some terrible heap of…terrible.
I do like the animation though and the direction. Great summary of the series. But that whole segment spent on TB is seriously unecessary. I mean, they're putting it up against the likes of the Holy X Scene?
Good thing they kept it a secret that 'AKIRA' was doing the opening. I would have been too excited to contain myself.

This is the end of One Piece the anime series.
Vivi in the opening = her rejoining the crew
! jk
?
A: Moria should be green in Shadow's Asgard!
B: No he shouldn't! He was white in UC
repeat
You know what's nice about the animation of the OP? They carried through the theme of HOLY SHIT THERE ARE A LOT OF IMPORTANT CHARACTERS IN THIS SERIES THAT DON'T JUST GET LEFT BEHIND as last seen in Believe. I found it odd looking at Foxy and thinking to myself, good God, that was like…4 years ago...
Now I wish they would have used another Strawhat version…
Episode was awesome though, but thats still a poor consolation.
Alright, when I watched the opening live, I was just paying attention to the visuals. After watching it on Youtube, despite it being low quality…
WTF was with the music? It sounded awful! Vocals were okay, though.
Nothing specifically about this opening (except the song being ASS,
but I kinda expected that. Haven't liked a song since Hikari E.), but I sure hate the anime character design.
It works for SOME of them, like Shanks, or the characters who just look outright strange in the manga.
Luffy though, doesn't have a "oda-style grin" in this OP (or in the last 3 or so).
He has some kind of weird shit-eater retard grin. Mind, this is not about grinning in itself,
because Luffy has a huge grin on his face most of the time. To me, this character's face just doesn't look like Luffy.
I know I should be ashamed of this blatant nitpicking… but I just can't get over it, hahaha. Sorry!
Better youtube version of the new opening.
well the opening was…nostaligic?
I took me a while to figure out that that was Alvida next to Buggy. I found it odd that Lucci was the only one of CP9 to get in.
Franky running was very awkward.
