I would say…
1-Movie 6 and Summer Wars (Both had very consistent amazing Animation and both had lot's of big animators)
2-Movie 10
I'm not familiar with crayon shin chan movies, but I have seen dozens of amazing scenes from it.
@o-chan:
This kind of lends itself to me asking this question, what draws you to One Piece anime in the first place?
This have nothing to do with what we are talking about, I love many things about One Piece. Everything have advanced since then, and One Piece got more popular since then.
First, I watched it for the story, but only around Thriller Bark that I started to care about the animation because Toei started to use talented animators around that time. And it happens that One Piece looks amazing with awesome animation.
@o-chan:
I should rephrase what I meant. One Piece is drawn in a very different comedic style with the occasional realistic elements (like a lot of the scenery in the newer manga arc). Naruto has a more grounded art style. I think the choices made by Toei and Pierrot as to how to tackle their respective series were sound decisions and did not betray the spirit of the manga-ka's work.
So? There is no good animation for the comedic style?
Any talented animator that will work One Piece will adjust his style to it, it will be the same style, just the animation will be better.
Have you seen Panty and Stocking style? That show have the best of Japan working on it, animators who have done many serious scenes from serious shows. Do you think they are having trouble by suddenly working on a crazy comedic style anime that is more cartoonish than One Piece?
Animators can work on any style.
@o-chan:
Where the problem lies is there seems to be this expectation that Strong World set this bar on how One Piece should look. The movie is gorgeous and very expressive. I do think we will eventually get to that look in the TV series because the animation style is always evolving.
What? It was great, But not the best, Only some key moments that looked amazing specially the first 10 minutes, the art was expressive for most of the movie. But Movie 6 remains leagues better in terms of animation and consistency, Movie 10 had lot's of average animation that looked like stuff from the TV series, it's sad considering they spent 2 years on it.
The reason Movie 6, 10, 9 were impressive is because talented people worked on them. That's all. But Toei doesn't like to use them on the TV series for One Piece, but on their other TV series for some reason.
@o-chan:
Still, everything that we're debating is highly subjective. We all have opinions on what we think Toei should be doing and in all honesty it's not going to change the anime. What we get, is what we get. We can make a personal choice to stop following the anime if it disappoints us so much since there is nothing purer to the original creators version than the manga.
Of course, that's why we are discussing our opinions here. No need to come here if we keep them to ourselves. I'm not gonna stop the anime if there is one thing bad about it. I might sound like I'm whining, but I'm not. But people like to take it that way.
@o-chan:
I, personally, enjoy the anime style. I understand that it can't look super special awesome every freakin' episode. But I appreciate what the animators are trying to do. If and when the execs at Toei have that stroke of genius where they put the billions of money the series makes into the TV show and give it at style that rivals Cowboy Bebop and Fullmetal Alchemist, then we can all shut up and move on with our lives.
O-chan
I also enjoy the anime style, love the great moments from the big animators. But One Piece needs more of them, cause Toei can do it, That's all.
I don't know if you have missed my previous posts, but I did say many times before that I like how Toei handles One Piece over how Pierrot handles Naruto, but my only nitpick about the latest arc is the PACING, then the lack of the usual big One Piece animators like Tate, which IMO, was a bad decision from Toei to remove theirs best guy who does the best action episodes in an arc that is full of action.
That will never ever happen. Ever.
