@YoungGun:
Woah, you saw the movie twice :happy:?. I guess make it worth the trip right . I wish I could .
By the way, for those who saw the movie, do you have any comments regarding music/animation/plot. I don't want any spoilers obviously but it would be good if you tell us the general feeling .
Yeah, I hadn't been on a vacation in years. So it was a time coming, being in LA and hoping over to Hawaii for once.
Music - I enjoyed this soundtrack. I would compare it to Movie 5 and 6. It some moody/serious tracks being the stand outs in my mind. And then plenty of fun, fast pace tracks.
Animation - What One Piece should look like ALL the time. Some times you could tell they put the "B" team on a few scenes. I remember NOT being impressed by Zoro and Choppers' appearance in the movie. But any sequence with Sanji stole the show. I'll qualify this by saying Movie 6 has my FAV-O-RITE animation from any of the movies, because of the looseness, exaggeration, timing, movement and flow of the characters. So it's not Movie 6 good… but it's damn good on model stuff.
Plot - typical One Piece movie... a loose take on several different arcs in the series... without the same emotional appeal. Only because they had to condence it into 2 hours with characters we don't care THAT much about. The is one big "HOLY SHIT" moment for me in the movie concerning Nami and a piece of her jewel that gets revealed, that I wanted to stand up and applause for. But the movies humor was really good also.
