We are. We aren't getting an episode next week due to some ''Parade of Smiles'' special program. They'll be broken smiles. Of pure rage.

No, you'rs not the only one. It just seems that way because the ones who don't like it (not all) make a huge deal out of it because they like One Piece a lot and don't want to see it that way, and the whole thing about the opening promoting something else (I forget what) only adds fuel to the flames. Overall, it was a good opening in my eyes, but it seems to be made to appeal to girls and children (especially the beginning and the song itself) making the majority of the fanbase who are male unhappy.

Amen to that.

Speak for yourself.

The endings are always so boring. How many have there been again? I don't really remember any of them, since I usually skip them after seeing them once.
-
Same for me, but If I like the song, I usually will most likely watch the endings (including the preview for the next Ep…)
...we all have our opinions don't we... Ahahahaha. ._.

I used to skip them most of time aswell. Except for Memories (which I'm listening now because my playlist is on "One Piece row"), Run Run Run! and Eternal Pose. When an ending/song was good, I need to watch it.
-
I don't remember ANY of the ending themes, I skipped them all the time or just didn't watch them, especially since some of them were soo soo horrifically SLOW paced DX!!!
oh man.. I almost forgot about the new opening xD GAHHHH I might have my new comp by then, doubtful, but OH MAN..if I DID?? I'd just.. wow…I'd be soo soo excited to watch the new opening on a BRAND SPANKING NEW COMP XDD instead of this POS that's sitting in it's place right now waiting for it to get here __ OH GOD.. it would be epic xD Can't wait to see this new opening!!
And there's not gonna be an ep next week? DAMN!! You sure know how to tease, Toei.

That's pretty much why i think that remove the ending was a programming decision by Fuji.
Before the timeslot change, there was the usual TO BE CONTINUED - commercial break - ending/preview, but now that last break is gone and OP is immediately followed by a quiz show or something, iirc it's the one with Mayumi Tanaka voice-over. -
Yeah, I have to agree that the endings were pretty crappy most of the time. I enjoyed the videos, but not the songs (except the first two).
However, that doesn't mean the OP should be as long as it is, damn it >_>
-
When I was watching the new released episodes on funimation
I couldn't skip the 2:30 long opening with my old computer and
it was so lame I had to sit through it waiting for the damn episode
to start… But if their were a opening and an ending I wouldn't
have to wait another minute and a half, BUT! Thats all in the past
now, because I have a new Comp. :bWhen I first heard the current opening, I thought "Why this?
at least make the song have more spunk and rhythm like this:
(edit Wow the lyrics to this song go with the current arc.) xD
My opinion. I just don't feel anything with Kaze wo Sagashite…Ahem... ok, ok. Now 3 more days...
-
for the demographic and such, i don't expect them to play the kind of music i'd enjoy - something mellow and pensive. i think they really need something catchy, but teen-friendly like this. this would be the perfect opening for OP, and i'm really hoping the new opening is something like it:
"><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"><embed src=" " type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="385"></object>
<object width="640" height="385"><param name="movie" value="..for a while, when i was still watching the anime, i would watch this INSTEAD of the current opening theme, then start the episode after the video ended!

Way better than Kaze wo Sagashite

About the video… I would like it to be sth like this .
c_vcq4ACEnEWhoever is responsible for choosing Opening songs for bleach, he/she/they are doing a great job.
-
^if they used a lalala song like that for the War arc in OP, i bet people would still complain about the happy-go-luckness.
-
If only if only.
-
You and me guys must have been watching different animes - I know by heart all of the endings in both japanese and english lyrics, some are even in other languages. Some weren't so great video-vise, but there were some absolutely fantastic ones like Watashi Ga Iru Yo or Shinig Ray.
New Opening tomorrow ^_^ Wohooo! Can't wait, already preparing to go crazy after seeing it~
-
Tomorrow? Time flies.
It can be nothing but an improvement. Looking forward to it.
What time does the episode usually become available to the west?
-
An hour after broadcast (but I have no idea what time OP premieres now that it's on Sunday mornings). But yeah, a little longer than a day.
-
One Piece currently airs at 8:30PM EST (you can figure out what time it is in your own time zone from there) on Saturday evenings, for America, at least. FUNimation has the simulcast up an hour after the show ends, at around 10:00PM EST.
-
1 day left now (=w=) lol I'm so bored, I'm countig hours at work…
-
Whoever is responsible for choosing Opening songs for bleach, he/she/they are doing a great job.
Pretty much this. I have yet to see a truly horrible song choice from Bleach.
That's pretty much why i think that remove the ending was a programming decision by Fuji.
See? This wouldn't have happened if we had more endings like "Run Run Run!"
Alright. I've got my popcorn ready and everything. Luckily the newest episodes are actually viewable to Canadians.

If the new opening is anything like this, I'll be pleased. :ninja:

You know what it seems like with one piece openings, is that they
are not similar like the Bleach, naruto, and other popular series
openings. Because to me It seems those shows all have a similarity
with song choices. I mean I don't know about now, with this new
supposedly-ish rock=ish song/band(?) Just stating my opinion.
Ah, I hope I'm making sense… Maybe it's just the vibe...?I AM NOT SAYING ANYTHING NEGATIVE.
-
あと 10 more hours
-
Oh man, I can't wait to hear this opening. I hope it's as good as I figure it's going to be.
-
I bet its going to suck donkey testicles.

They aren't made to show monkeys and big-eyed freak children in the playground, but neither are they done to have emo people cutting themselves for 30 seconds. Even so, I'd expect them to do better than they have been for the past while.
Life would be a lot happier if we assumed that everything is going to suck donkey testicles.

About the video… I would like it to be sth like this .
c_vcq4ACEnE
..withLuffy - Ichigo
Yamamoto - Whitebeard
Shinji - Akainu
Aizen - Blackbeard
Gin - CrocodileTousen/Komamura - Sengoku/Garp
…and battle highlights from..
Crocodile vs Donflamingo
Mihawk vs Vista
Jinbei vs Moria
Marco vs Kizaru
Ao Kiji vs Jozu
Akainu vs Whitebeard
..and Luffy vs Garp clashing fists ending
That would be awesome.I hope it happens the way I said.
Cant wait ! -
i predict and hope we will see garp crying or get hit by luffy in the new opening
-
Garp vs Luffy clashing seems like the most suitable ending.
-
5 hours to go!
gets the party started
-
Two minutes and thirty seconds of the :O face.
-
hope it'll be good
-
I will laugh my ass of if Toei trolls the fans once again.

And it's 4 hours to go! -
Yesss 4 hours left!
Do not want another Kaze wo Sagashite please Toei please please please
-
Naruto, Bleach, or FMa brohood level would be good.
-
Damn I'm psyched for this! My hopes are far too high, but once again: it can't be worse than Opening 12…can it?
-
ermmm can someone help me out with keyhole etc..?

-
By sacrificing a goat to Oda of course :ninja:

-

If we were living in an American cartoon, you just would've doomed us all, since you basically said, "What's the worst thing that could happen?"
