So if we believe the insert text in the chapter 534, we'll have a new opening in april ?
Insert text: Starting in April, the One Piece anime's new OP will be "Share The World" by TVXQ!! Don't miss it!!]
I hope it'll be good ^^
New opening in april
-
-
TVXQ (aka Tohoshinki) is the same korean boy band from current "We are" and ending 17, "Asu wa kuru kara", so we kinda know what to expect.
I guess the date will be the obvious April 5th, following Dragonball Kai's first episode? The single including Share the World and We Are will be released three days later, that sounds about right. -
I hope Share the World sound a bit better than their butchered version of We Are. I mean, yeah… you get used to everything but the first time I heard it I was like: Is that it? That's all? That's the song?
There certainty is an audience for this kinda music but it seemed a bit off compared to previous opening songs. It sounded not One-Piece-like.
-
Cool. Toei better not drop the ball on this one. They have two and a half minutes to work with, and with lots of big, major, series-shaking material going on, they really have no excuse to churn out a shoddy work.
Hopefully we'll get some arc relevant stuff this time. And some new characters.
-
Dammit DBSK!! Stop ruining my cartoons with your groovy Kpop!! Seriously though, this better be good. I know they can do a lot better than that sorry excuse for a "We Are."

With how many people are whining about how horrendous the new "We Are" is I think this is a welcome change (not because the song is changing but mainly because people will have something else to whine about!).
I, personally, love the We Are remix but it's April and the time many animes change their intros so it's all good.
O-chan
-
Already? Considering how One Piece-openings usually stay for a full year, I'm a bit surprised. Not that I mind, being that I hate the new We Are, but still.

Credit for this goes to goty, who posted this on Kaizoku. Apparently on the band's website they say that Share the World will be somewhat similar to their song Summer Dream, which is
.If we were under normal circumstances, I'd say that something like this should be an ending instead, but considering what will happen, I'd say something like this would be perfect.

Yep, I've listened to to it over 5 times…Somehow I really like it.
-
Ugh.
I mean, I like it. But, it sounds more like it should be an ending.! Hopefully, we get some shots of that Amazon isle and/or Impel Down.
-
I have a feeling that we will get to see new filler villains.
-
Do we know this is a new Opening?
I mean, did it say "New Opening" or is this just "We Are!/Share the World Single released in April"?
I haven't seen the chapter yet

But I wonder if they are even going to be able to fit any sort of filler during these arcs.. I mean, from this point on they're all kind of connected–
! –at least until the Strawhats all get separated by Kuma, then I suppose they could each have their own filler eps.
It would be nice to see some shiny Shabondy clips in the new op though. They at least better do that much –Hello, they're THERE. But I do have to admit that was rather a short run for the new, "We Are!" Then again, wasn't the LAST We Are! only for a short while as well, the Strawhat version? I don't remember because it was during Water 7/Enis Lobby (I think, don't even remember) and I usually skipped the opening for that because I was rushing through it. Even though they had 2 very good openings in my opinion...sigh No one here has much love for Crazy Rainbow, though... -
Well, I'm definitely looking forward to a new opening. Not that the revamped We Are isn't good (well, we have to admit it is kinda meh) but I'm looking forward to seeing something new.

I gave it a listen, and I'm all for it.
-
I personally love the "We Are' remix but I'm always up for something new.
I doubt it'll be better than the current opening but hopefully we'll get some interesting animation this time! It's been a while since the intros were visually interesting and not just:
Standing, Running, and a collage of minor characters. -

I don't like it at all.
Well it's not like I had any hope to begin with that they'll ever hit my taste of music with and opening.
Guess I'll just start from 5:00 min for another year if it turns out like this song 
-
As I said before, and Demon Rin said it, this is just the release of the album "We Are" is on. It was just poorly phrased on the chapter.
Unless it's a coincidence an album by the same group called "Share the World" with a song called "We Are" and "Share the World" is coming out on the exact same day as the new opening, which would make this opening about 2/3 the length of a normal one, then it's not a new opening.This is what is said in the chapter:
4月からアニメOPのオープニングテーマが東方神起の「Share The World」に！！必聴！！
From April, the Anime Opening Theme to Touhou Shinki's "Share the World"!! Be sure to listen!!
It's somewhat unclear, but the album that both of those come out on is on April 8th.
http://jpopforum.net/thread-354350-1-1.htmlCourse, maybe they are doing those things, it's hard to tell for sure.
-
oh damn, not THESE Kpop guys doing the opening theme again, someone call maximum the hormone to fix this thing.
Said opening should involve Killer and Kid killing pirates with godlike animation for 1 minute then another minute of just EVERY character in one piece flashing lightning fast.
best opening ever.

But "We Are" isn't even mentioned in this advertisement. Actually, an album including We are will be released on 03/25:
http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=RZCD-46188'Share the World' seems to be an OP-themed single, bringing three tracks: We are, Asu wa Kuru kara AND the upcoming opening. Would it really make more sense if only Share the World wasn't from OP?
Besides, We are would still run twice the lenght of Brand New World. It's not like every opening ran for the same amount of episodes.
Not saying it's guaranteed, but odds are there is a new opening. -
Yeah, so it could be…
Lemme see, if it's the same group doing the new opening maybe something'll change, since the current Opening will only have been going for...
Started at 373, episode airing today is 392, yeah, only 25 weeks total.
If so, it's oddly inconsistant. But I'd be fine with the opening changing every 25 episodes, especially with no Ending, otherwise the opening stays the same all the time.
Course, it'd be nice if they had Endings again. -
Yeah, every long running anime usually changes in April/October, but then again, OP never really had a pattern..
Anyway, this is pretty bad advertisiment if we need to discuss to know what they meant. Or is that a sign that it worked? Hehe. -

Mhm One Piece opening with upbeat rape song?
-
I've got a better idea. How about a new opening AND ending? My interest in the one piece anime started to wain back when they went to this 2 minute opening format. At least back they had endings, the ending would change every ten episodes or so (after the first few) and I would watch an episode that had a new ending.

If it will get rid of the annoying Gold Roger thing that starts at the beginning of the episode, then I'm all for it.
-
It's no more annoying than when it was at beginning of We Are.
-
Well, it kind of is, since in We Are it was part of the song. In it's current incarnation, the Gold Roger preamble just takes up more time until the actual episode starts. But it is necessary. My brother once got a friend to watch the show (back when the FUNimation dub was still airing), and he watched it, but he was sort of confused because he'd been thrown into the middle of Jaya without knowing the basics of the story. The Gold Roger preamble basically sets the story up and explains why anything is happening. I'm not against them doing it at all, but for longtime readers or viewers, I can see why it'd get tiresome. And they really should intergrate it with the song so as not to waste time.
-
This was also done purposely so that they don't have to fill in as much story in each episode. Kinda like how DBZ had extremely long charges and dust parts.
I know, I hate it too.
-

No, remember that there are no endings now. The opening + Gold Roger-sequence take up exactly 3 minutes and 6 seconds. The opening + ending took up 3 minutes exactly. So the "wasted time" or whatever is only a mere 6 seconds per episode.
-
I thought they were going to keep the We are opening for a while. I mean, it did pretty much sum up the whole series and it's key players well enough. But I'm glad. Hopefully this isnt going to be another happy go lucky opening…cuz it's getting kinda repetitive. Kokoru no Chizu was the shit though!
-
If this is true then thank god. I hated that We Are remix opening. The original We Are is awesome though.
! Toei has a lot of material to work with on this new opening so they better not blow it. Brooke, the upcoming fights, the Supernovas, Rayleigh, etc all should be there.
-
I really like the We Are remix opening. It's a condensed recap of the series up to that point and remixing the first song is very appropriate considering this is supposed to be the half-way point of their journey.
It's certainly better than Crazy Rainbow and Jungle P and it doesn't fall back on clips from the episodes like Kokoro no Chizu and Brand New World.

…okay, YOU JUST FAILED HARD.
not only are the songs just better... but dear god no.
and those "scenes" from the show were loosely based. And also there's clearly a thriller bark scene thrown in to the we are remix. So...:wassat:

Not only Thriller Bark, but Alabasta, and another Sunny Coup De Burst. I will say that at first I wasn't too fond of the We Are Remix, but it has grown on me and I don't mind using the song as at least some background noise while I take care of other things before watching an episode, but for me, it's not my least favorite opening. And yeah, Jungle P, Kokoro No Chizu, and especially Brand New World are all great openings…song-wise and animation-wise.:happy:
-
I used to like We Are remix a lot. But after I noticed that it repeated to much, bleh:sad:. I hope the new one doesn't!

I was referring to clips from actual episodes coming up in the arc. The scenes in We Are Remix are from past arcs and are not the original clips pulled from the episode (except maybe the one with Odz).
Jungle P is a decent opening but a lame song. Brand New World is a good song, but visually it sucks until the last twenty seconds or so. Kokoro No Chizu is a great song, but it uses episode clips pretty poorly.
We Are Remix is two minutes of nostalgic fan-service. I'm okay with that.

Gotta disagree there. I'm not too fond of Crazy Rainbow (although still better) but Jungle P owns new We Are.
Also We Are remix is two minutes of the same generic opening sequences we always get. The animations of everyone running near the beginning freakin kills me with cornyness and the rest is the standardard show off Shanks/Dragon/Ace/whoever else and then a handful of scenes of something that actually happens in the series, only its mainly just a little bit of Thriller Bark and Brook isn't even there as a member. Plus I don't think I need to mention how crappy the remix of the song itself is. The scenes where they show off all the old characters and villiains in the background pan is ok, but thats pretty much all this opening has going for it for me. The original We Are sounds great and is full of enthusiasm and energy that the new one is sorely lacking. Plus its a classic and the animation of opening 1 is a lot better done and a lot more focused.
-
I'm gonna agree with Charagon.
The We Are remix is endlessly superior to Crazy Rainbow, Jungle P, and Brand New World.
It's the most listenable intro I've heard since Kokoro no Chizu, I'm kinda sad to see it go.
It actually got me pumped up because it sounded like a slightly more mature version of We Are, which kinda grated my nerves after a while because of the kiddish nature of the song in general.I disagree about the nostalgia-thing. ALL the recent OP openings seem to be collages of old enemies and accomplices, I wanna see something new and not just them hanging out and running around. Displaying their powers fighting enemies and some of the upcoming events works for me. urgh…but if i see one more collage of Shanks and his crew or Whitebeard or Blackbeards group....
-
This OP will be a failure, but at least I expect good animation.
Having everything since Shaobondy until the current events in the Manga would be pretty awesome. -

We know the band.
Last time this band failed. (in the eyes of many)We know a song that they call similar to the next opening song.
That song fails too. (again, in the eyes of many)Sherlock Holmes deduces:
Chances are high this opening will fail in terms of audio. Maase still expects visual pleasure. Enough basis? -
You can never truly know how a song will sound until you actually here it. Assuming based off past impressions of other songs is nothing to go on.
-
Its going to be pretty darn hard to make a worse opening than the current one. It and Crazy Rainbow have been the only ones I dislike recently, so hopefully this new one won't be that bad. Any links to the song they said was similar?
-
@Myself:

.There we go. I think the slower paced, more melancholy tone would work pretty well considering what's going down in the manga. Toei really has no excuse if they mess up the visuals this time. We have a boatload of new characters and material to work with. Hopefully this will turn out all right, since anything is better than the slideshow that is We Are! 10th Anniversary.
Though, I hope Share the World isn't quite as cheesy as the song above. Or at least lay off the gratuitous English.

Can you vouch for every one of them? Besides, even if the song may sound mediocre, combined with visuals, it might complement them to the point of sounding much better anyway. And it's not even the same song!!! You really can't say whether an opening will fail or not based on past works of a band or based on a song that sounds similar to it.
-
I would like an intro that doesn't have clips from the future, and something that can be timeless. I did like the intros We Are, Believe, Into the Lights, and Crazy Rainbow(Though I didn't like the audio too much) for the fact that it could could go on for a long time and wouldn't feel like it is only for those couple of arcs. But then again it doesn't really matter now that they change their intros every 5 seconds.
On the note of Summer Dream, the song is a little slow for my taste(especially for an intro in my opinion) but just because it is said to sound similar, doesn't mean it'll sound like it. Similar and Just Like are different terms.

You are right I can't.
I can tell you for sure that I won't like the song but I can't say whether I like or dislike the whole thing in the end. -
A new opening huh? One Piece, would be better with out one.
-
i'm crushed. i can't believe there are so many who dislike the new we are. i absolutely love it.
