There's really not much to say, I just miss the Endings. Why did they do that? I really hope the Endings will be back on course soon. Let's make a japanese pettition or something like that 
(That's not a bad idea at all actually).
Oh, and btw, I really want a new character songs already.
Hell yeah, I miss the ending songs. Of course I didn´t love all of them (heck for my none comes even close to the first one) but still I really much enjoyed the majority of them.
The reason why they are gone is this crappy opening that even sounds like more like an ending instead of an opening. It´s way too long and therefore steals the time that could be used for an ending.
But fear not, I´m sure that we´ll get an ending when this opening will be replaced which hopefully will happen in the near future because…
! …the anime will pretty much require a new opening once the Strawhats leave Water 7. If not for adding Franky then most definitely because they sail on a new ship so it´d be weird to have Merry in the opening while it is gone and replaced by Sunny.
The Opening will change, that is absolute (And I hate it too). The question is, are Toei dumb enough to do another long Opening and therefore no Ending.
I surely hope so because no matter how I look at how they have it now, it appears to me a bit of a fillerish solution. It at least struck me as something of that sort.
Yeah i really freaking miss the endings. I read on some japanese sites that the japanese don't like this new endingless One piece, so perhaps they'll learn their lesson and head back to using endings. I loved "Fish" "Shining Ray" and "Memories" and it makes me sad that the LAST ending we had was Adventure World. (Not that its a bad song, but i wouldn't want that to be the last ending for an anime I made.) So i hope Toei wises up.
….although One piece has had a new director ever since around the time Crazy Rainbow started....maybe the new director is to blame?
I don't really have a problem with Crazy Rainbow, really. I never watched many of the ending songs in the first place. The only thing I have against it is that it replaced Brand New World, which was one of my favorite opening songs.
I truly miss them
I was hoping to hear the new Watashi ga Iru Yo
I love that song.
but anyways maybe they will put them again.
I hope and make the opening shorter
Crazy Rainbow is awesome, I'd not object at all if they kept it and just replaced the video. Pretty much everyone after watching em a few times skipped the openings and endings anyways and just watched the episode and some the next episode preview.
I never before skipped an opening, since all of them in their own manner hyped me each time for One Piece. But this one is different and I truly enjoy skipping it because it doesn´t have anything that could hype me the slightest. I just would be a more fitting ending tune.

that is true ..
I mean it says nothing about nakama …
or at least not in the way the others have ..
I actually really like the Crazy Rainbow song. It's super catchy! I think the animation that goes along with it is pretty cute too. I miss the ending songs, though. I like to have the ending "This is going to happen in the next episode!" thing, but I could really do without spending the first like, what? Three, four minutes of the show explaining what just happened. Even if they just want to shove something in so that they don't have to fill the whole time slot for the show, I can understand that, but I just don't think that a recap is necessary. If you really want to know what happened on the last episode and missed it, you can either make an educated guess or friggin' ask someone.
So, yes, I am in favor of ending songs.
I sure do miss the ending songs. It feels awkward and almost unprofessional to go from the "To Be Continued" screen to a next episode preview. I used to like the Crazy Rainbow opening, but I got really sick of it, while I liked almost every ending song.
They should've just cut out the opening altogether and used Adventure World until the end of the series.

true that
but then again….
instead the y should just play Watashi ga Iru Yo as both opening and Ending

Actually Crazy Rainbow is the first opening that i'm skipping. I just can't stand it.
They should have though of using the ending Dear Friends…

! in the upcoming episode with the Merry burning. It would make you cry over Merry some more.
With the same video of Merry sailing with the silouettes (sp) of the Straw Hat crew.
Crazy Rainbow is by far the worst One Piece opening we've had. It'd do ok as an ending, but not an opening. What makes me really sad is it replaced Brand New World which was around for literally 14 episodes and was actually relevant to the main storyline.
The Gold Roger intro they've been doing since Crazy Rainbow started is alright, but that super long opening has to go by the time this arc is over. One Piece just doesn't feel like One Piece without a catchy opening theme and an ending theme.
yhea, crazay rainbow is pretty bad.
brand new world was genius.
tho i DEFINETLY miss the endings. D=
I'm sure we'll get a new intro once Enies Lobby comes to an ending. I'm not so sure about an ending, though since they still might do the 2 minutes+ opening along with the Gold Roger thing and 5 minute re-cap.
But, who knows? If Toei does a filler arc so that the anime doesn't catch up with the manga, there might not be a need for the re-cap or extended intro so they could fit an ending into the episode.
Rappin' Chopper:
"Yo; I was a reindeer livin' out in 'da snow! But then this old geeza' doctor brought me into his home! After healin' my wounds, I felt real phat. Then, old docta' Hiruk gave me this blingin' hat! My family beat me, shunt me, but it's all tight. Because I'm doin' my doctor remedies all night. I look like freak with my Human Human fruit. But now I'm with some gangsta' pirates who like to steal loot! All the girls like my blue nose. Yeah; it's the way that I get the Record scratching. Usopp's the guy with all 'da glory. He's my main man with all his tight stories. Zolo's Santoryu skills are on ice. You betta' watch out, or you gonna get sliced! Sanji's the cook servin' up the main dish. Don't mess with him, unless that's your wish. Luffy's 'da captain with the straw hat! His Gum Gum skills are real real tight. Vivi's the princess of Alabasta. Now we gotta head there, and we betta' do it faster!"

The opening, Gold Roger's sequence, 5-10 minute of recapping makes for 5 minutes of real action. CCRS suks, I miss ending songs (i miss memories da most) And can't wait to see
! thousand sunny in the new opening/ending-hopeful.
You guys need to catch up, i can't even remember the last recap longer than 2 minutes. And the opening and Gold Roger sequence aren't really taking time of the episode, btw.
I miss the endings though. I'm pretty sure it will eventually return and the longer opening is just something temporary to give Tackey and Tsubasa more screentime, seeing how they are big in Japan.
You guys are all nuts. Crazy Rainbow Star rocks. Well above average for One Piece openings.
Pretty much everyone after watching em a few times skipped the openings and endings anyways and just watched the episode and some the next episode preview.
I love how you assumed something was true for everyone simply because it's what YOU did and were instantly proven wrong by pretty much everyone in the thread!XDDD
I'm gonna throw my name into that hat and say, I also am one of the ones that NEVER skipped openings or endings. I watched everything from beginning to ending. Especially with the monologue before the opening, all that stuff pumped me up for new OP,but now..I'm really sick of Crazy Ranbow Star. And I REEEAALLY miss the endings. Probably because an awesome ending can balance out a suckky opening. OP never had amazing openings if u ask me anyway.
Also, it's a children's comic from Japan.
Why are you comparing it to cultural engravings and burritos.
Yeah, I miss the endings. I don't have a problem with Rainbow Star (I like the song just as much as the others), but that Gol D. Roger sequence has got to go. Seriously, we're over 300 episodes into the series. We know who the hell he is.
I'm just glad the intro is actually played at the very beginning of the episodes now. That "pre-intro" crap they had going for about forty or fifty episodes was terrible. If we keep the intro at the beginning, bring back the endings, and get rid of the Gol D. Roger sequence, we'll be back in business.
We’ll probably get the new opening and ending once
! Franky joins and they get the thousand sunny
But it could still be a while yet, depending on how much filler time toei uses
Plus, I can't wait to see what
! Franky's eye-catcher is going to look and sound like!
One thing that doesn't make sense to me, is that people here seem to indicate that the Crazy Rainbow is so long so they can stall for time, yet the old openings combined with the endings took up more time…
But yeah, I'd much rather have an ending theme rather than a 3-minute intro followed by a completely useless Gold Roger-clip. Hopefully they'll stop that once they return to W7, and just give us a standard length intro and ending. (And they should do a Franky-ending, as they did that for Vivi, Chopper and Robin.)
Well Crazy Rainbow Star is a pretty good Opening, but not for soooo many episodes!There would be a new opening when the Straw Heads start their adventure again from W7.
But I think there would be again 15 episodes before their start.There would be a Garp episode, a thousand sunnyintroducing epi, a franky joins the crew epi and then at last many recap episodes which show what happened when the straw heads entered the W7 arc.
We have long to wait for a new op or ed song
@Ao:
OP never had amazing openings if u ask me anyway.
Well, most of the openings felt pretty childish to me, but I never had a problem with that and I enjoyed them a lot. I mean, One Piece is, after all, everything that is GREAT at being childish. The third opening though, was REEEAALLY GOOD! A rocky-feel to it and great lyrics, I totally dig it. I liked Kokoro no Chizu, Brand New World was fine - and suddenly this stupid Crazy Crazy Shit FTW. Seriously, this song is so silly, it sounds like a parody over japanese songs. like the "Tiny Tiny Chicken Machine Show" Opening, if you know it. Hopefully we'll get rid of it soon, and of course, get our precious endings soon.
I still find it funny how so many people still say Brand New World was such a good opening. If it was longer than 14 episodes everyone would have been sick of it like Crazy Rainbow.
People are sick of Crazy Rainbow? What a bunch of pansies. Back in my day, we had to endure Believe for almost 70 episodes, and did we ever complain? No sir, not once.

Wow, they should definitley play that music when that happens.
I definitely miss the endings. I didn't even know they were gone until somehwere here mentione dit.
Heso!
I miss the EDs too. It is a great way to leave the episode. I hope that when certain events happen they will make a new OP and ED to match them.
Anyway I like Crazy Rainbow. I think it is a fun song. It has not been used for too many episodes. I mean look at We Are that was used for a long time in the beginning.
Speaking of ending themes, I really liked "Eternal Pose" with the collage of the SH through different arcs. Okay, the song is kinda like lame, generic Jpop/RnB, but still. The sequence was really nice, and the song went well with it.
Crazy Rainbow Star is cheesy and makes me cringe, but it's quite catchy in moderate amount. They should have just kept it for special occasions because, really, it's tiring after a while. Actually, come to think about it, all openings for OP are extremely cheesy, but at least they're not as long as CRS.
And I wish they'd give up the Roger intro and 5 mins recap. Fat chance, though :/
The full version of Eternal Pose is quite decent I think, and I really liked that ending. I do wish they'd bring back the endings, I don't mind Crazy Rainbow, but it's too long and I thought Brand New World was much better.
@Dr.:

Well, Believe was actually good 
For the record, I never skipped any openings aside from Kokoro no Chizu (which did get old after a while, even if it was great at first), and this one. I've never liked Tackey and Tsubasa, and this Crazy Rainbow stuff does nothing to change my mind.
I do miss the endings but mostly Brand New World it was a good song i don't like Crazy Raindow Star

Hold the phone,dude! Eternal Pose was possibly THE BEST OP ending theme!
I agree. (I just agreed with Ao Kiji…) Eternal Post is a good song.
Aaaah, so you miss something which you were skipping or weren't even paying attention to?
Since Crazy Rainbow started, I started to miss something I skipped (the endings)…
All openings songs I liked more than that
But I tell you, any of the openings and endings are far better than the FoxKids version.
What? Failing is hard work, too.
My favorite ending song was the one they did for Episode 128 (Escape from Alabasta). Oretachi wa Family was sung by the seiyuu and was just awesome.
Yes, the opening is overly long, and more deserving as and ending theme. I personally like it, but have found myself skipping it more often than not.
And I'll be very disappointed if we have the Gold Roger recap once a new opening and , hopefully, ending is introduced.
I don't particularly mind Carzy Rainbow, even if it is a bit long, and the recaps of the past episode are kind of annoying, like has been said. The Gol D. Roger part…I'm torn about it, it adds a little to the athmosphere, but it also makes me think "Come on! I wanna get to the episode already!!!" But it's a shame we've lost the endings, my favourite was Shouchi no Suke, I hope they come back.
I'm also quite curious as to what the next op song will be like...
I agree, Eternal Pose was a freaking awesome ending theme. D: I don't know what you're talking about it being lame or generic, the words and the music were both awesome and thus fit awesomely with the images of the Strawhats progressing through their journey… I wish they'd have good endings like THAT again.
I like Crazy Rainbow, but I've liked every other opening theme more than it (besides Believe or maybe even Bon Voyage at times just because they were played so much) and would really like it if they would do something super-awesome in the vein of Kokoro no Chizu or Brand New World again... Please?
Oh yes, and that Gol D. Roger intro thingy DEFINITELY has to go... not to mention the bad animation we've been getting lately. >_> I was drooling over the Water 7 flashbacks in the last episode.
I'm a lurker. I don't really post much. So… I'm not really sure what to put as my signature.

If the endings return, I'm sure the Gold Roger clip will go away, as I've noticed that Crazy Rainbow plus the Gold Roger scene takes up about as much time as both the openings and endings did combined.

I do love that ending very much, especially with the SH's progress sequence. It looks absolutely fantastic, and some bits are very funny. It's just the music itself that strikes me as being generic (ie jap-rap RnB)… but then again, I do like it much better than other ending songs, and it does go well with the images and such. And yeah, they really should make something like that again.
