One Piece The Movie - The Desert Princess and the Pirates

Quexinos

GOOD LORD. quit comparing it to damn dbz. PLUS, you say it was so bad, cuz they cut stuff out, but then you say you want stuff added/changed. so, when someone says that, you just immidiately say that wouldn't werk! wtf do you want?!?!?:blink:

He's comparing the situations, not the actual shows. Both shows had a recap movie, one sucked, one didn't. His whole point is people are saying "Well they did good for a recap" but no they didn't. DBZ did good for a recap (apparently I've never seen it)
.
Also, he never complained for "cutting stuff" except I dunno THE IMPORTANT ELEMENTS THAT SHOULD HAVE BEEN EXPLAINED LIKE ROBIN'S ENDING AND BASICALLY WHAT THE STRAW HATS WERE DOING!… And WTF does werk mean? And who said the movie had to be an hour and a half... they probably could have stretch it to two just by people talking slower.

they probably could have stretch it to two [hours] just by people talking slower.

Heck, the movie could have been 100 minutes long and it could've probably worked better.

…..work......werk.....work. and i say an hour and a half cuz that's how long the movie lasted. :ninja:

GOOD LORD. quit comparing it to damn dbz.

Excuse me, I think I actually stated myself that its embarassing coming back to the same point but when it works so well theres nothing better than bringing out the best example. I take it from your outburst you disagree and if so, perhaps you`d care to elaborate instead of calling on God.

PLUS, you say it was so bad, cuz they cut stuff out, but then you say you want stuff added/changed.

Your use of but then here suggests that the second half of your statement regarding my opinion would contradict the first half. However, that is clearly not the case. As such, your sentence here which seems to point out a contradiction really does nothing except point out the obvious: they cut things out whereas I believe they should have added more.

so, when someone says that, you just immidiately say that wouldn't werk! wtf do you want?!?!?

I have to question whether youre actually reading posts, reading parts of posts, or simply ignoring details. I said multiple times that adding/changing ideas _would_ work and be best. I think the **one** idea I shot down was the over the top suggestion that Lassoo become a beam cannon capable of destroying a city. Thats something Fire Fist and I BOTH agree is absurd and would not have been a positive change.

In so few words, what exactly are you trying to point out?

I dont mind people disagreeing (someone has a different opinion than myself???? *GASP*) but at least have some inkling of an idea about what it is youre talking about.

As long it made money, I don't think Toei cares one way or the other about all the crap people found wrong with it. And where the hell is that Android 17 thing from anyway Greg?

The power of Google Image search. Seems they thought Mr. Black wasn`t cool enough so they added a character from years later in the story. Go figure.

Sanji The Cook

No sir I didn't like it… (Meaning I didn't like the movie, I still think OPM 4 is the best)

Lobster Pot-Sticker

But anyway, you all really hated this movie more then movie 7? There was alot of cool stuff in this movie. Sure some of it was rushed, like Zoro, Ussop, Chopper, and Nami's fight; but the pacing over all was better. Like when the Strawhats actually escaped on the crab, and how Crocodile attacked Koza; then dropped Vivi off of the palace instead of standing around and talking forever. There was also alot more realizm, desparation, and emotion in the way the lines were delivered.

Well anyway, that's my opinion… And I loved the animation. Just imagine how sweet it will look in HD.
Ohh well, maybe my new

will convince you all to like it…

RomanGod

Movie 1, 3 and 7 still hold the spot for the worst, to me.

5 and this one are tied, with 2 being SLIGHTLY ahead of 'em.

Then, of course, my two favorites are 6 and 4 (which are also tied, to me).

Dragon Warrior Steve

This movie was just awful. I could not believe how rushed it really was. Toei really needs to step it up for next year.

Quexinos

to me nothing will ever be worse than movie 1… bnut I haven't seen 5 and 7 yet so we'll see

and am I the only one who liked movie 3? ;_;

theAMAZINGboo

Movie 3 had some cool fights, so it wasn't a total loss in my view. (My favorites are 4 and 6, since they feel like actual movies.

This movie, however… didn't manage to do ONE thing better than the anime. Nor did they try to make it flow like a movie. Instead, we get..well, crap.

Oh well, here's hoping movie 9 is done by people who know what they're doing. (Movie 4 or 6 team please)

Lobster Pot-Sticker

@theAMAZINGboo:

Please tell me your joking. Most of the movie looked way better then the series. The only part that was worse was the Ussop, Sanji, Chopper, and Nami fight. The rest was animated alot better. Many more frames as well. The expressions were fantastic. Also the voices sounded much more desprate and realistic. Not to mention the shear detail of the landscapes, and the detailed battle scenes during the war.

theAMAZINGboo

I don't know. Part of me thinks the original anime LOOKED better as well.

The animation, was good, yes. But it was hardly better than the anime animation. (I'm comparing it to the latest episodes. Though most of the time I think the Alabasta part in the anime looked better anyway) And even then, characters looked bleh at random times, the 3D was pretty bland, and well, none of it impressed me at all.

The only thing that I can say looks better than the original, is Pell's death. Other than that, it was either worse than the original, or just mediocre.

Better character design/animation =/= better quality.

Yeah, you still fail, Lobster. Go back to K-F.

It's the internetz. I can be two places at once.

Plus the acting was better. (mostly Crocodile's) Do you people atleast agree on that?
Another thing was the cimimatography. I enjoyed that. Especially in the Bon Clay boat scene, when you actually saw his whole body change; when he turned into Chopper etc…

They also had the Alabasta celebration at the end with the fireworks, what was pretty cool =D

And this file had lots of Vivi. =3
That's +50 points right there ^^

Metalvirus

Nah I enjoyed Crocodile's original run through of Alabasta better. He yelled way to much in the movie, and it did not fit with his expression. Like when Vivi and the Strawhats escaped on the crab leaving Luffy behind, he has a ticked yet calm expression on his face, and yells "BRAT!" which looked akward IMO.

And right before he got kicked up for storm, when he was saying "Who the hell do you think I am?!", he was smiling and cocky looking, but sounded crazy and desperate. But I did enjoy how he did sound super desperate, even if I thought it was a tiny bit out of character to sound like that. He seems more like the cool collected mastermind in all situations no matter how rough, and it looks like they wanted to do a different interpretation with this movie.

Lobster Pot-Sticker

Ohh, and one more thing. Toei colored Crocodile's jacket wrong in the anime. The Oda colored the fur green in the manga, however they colored it corrected there mistake by coloring it correctly in the movie.

EDIT: And what about the entire scene with Crocodile, Vivi, Chaka, and Kozah at the front palace? That was awesome

Dragon Warrior Steve

The animation was nothing to jump and sing about, it blew. The acting was horrible (I found Cobra's laugh towards the end very scary). The fights sucked too. Luffy/Crocodile was suckitute right about to the point just before he got punched in the face, then it looked like Movie 6 animation. Movie just sucked, I'd prefer something more original, though that only worked in Movies 4 and 6.

TakinawaTonfa

Based on the Gomu Gomu Storm clip, I have to ask…

What the hell is wrong with Crocodile? He sounds awful.

It's good that he sounds aweful. Your supposed to sound like a loose cannon when you are fighting to the death. That's what I'm talking about people.

Ha, ha

Fleur

Based on the Gomu Gomu Storm clip, I have to ask…

What the hell is wrong with Crocodile? He sounds awful.

My thoughts exactly.
Though he sounded normal for most of the movie, I suppose he was trying to sound like he his patience was wearing down to his last thread.

Actually, the voice acting sounded strange and abnormally loud in some parts of the movie.

Like others have said, it was insanely rushed and the fights were well animated, but awful like someone just slapped together each fight in 10 minutes.
Not to mention Nami's over-exposed body parts were distracting.

Even though this was made to be enjoyable for people who didn't know the plot up until then, I doubt they'd have a clear idea what's going on.

SemiJuggalo

Regarding Croc's weird smile… If you go back and check out the manga, he had a smile on his face as he was getting ready to stab Luffy with his knife. As for the crazy-sounding voice, it was different, but yeah... it gave off the impression that he was definitely losing his cool.

DesertSpada

As people have already said, from the samples of Crocodiles voice that I saw in Lobster's video, it was awful. It was better in the series.

During Luffy's and Croc's last attacks, Crocodile sounds like he's sick.

Shakidna_

I thought the Pell scene was a lot better than in the anime.

I wouldn't say "mistake" more than that was the colors they thought looked cooler. While they did give him an entire green coat this time around, they still left him a orange sleeved purple haired zombie. I SUPPOSE I'll let the zombie skin slide, as Oda seems to color all his character with the same skin tone, but the sleeves and hair I thought should have stayed how they were in the manga illustrations.

Lobster Pot-Sticker

@Buuhan1:

Oda seems to color all his character with the same skin tone,

No?

16 boo hams

EDIT: Well… they are slightly different if you look reeeaallly close...

Buuhan1

Well, he colors with markers, so yeah, of course some will have slightly different tones but still the same.

Ao Kiji

ughh..I hate to agree with Buuhan. But he does, it's pretty common practice for Jump artist to use the basic skin tone color for every character regardless of actual skin tone colorscheme.
I mean for tanner characters, he darkens them abit,but it's the exact same skin tone color. I think that's what he means.

Any soft subs for the movie yet?

Mr. All Sunday

Crocodile sounded way less evil yelling Sables Pesado and Desert La Spada, I enjoyed that in the anime a lot, it seem rushed. Quite disapointing that the movie was crappy, it had potential to be fantastic.

Fleur

But did it really?
We're talking about 50+ plus episodes crammed into 1.5 hours.
It could've been a little better if the movie was longer, but so many events just rushed into 90 minutes is just…well, it loses it's potential in so many ways.

You couldn't really expect much in the first place besides fantastic animation and excellent voice acting.
But those two things were somewhat lost as well.

@Buuhan1:

There's an early SBS where Oda flat out says that he hates pasting tone, so that's why generally most characters look the same. But some don't. For example, Gin was a bit darker than most people.

Greg

But did it really?

Yes. We've gone over a number of reasons it could/should have been fantastic in the past few pages.

There's nothing wrong to agree with someone when you happen to disagree with them on other things.

Lord Starfish

Just saw through the movie, and I think it was much better than most people here say. I mean, sure, the pacing was pretty bad until the end of the fights between the Officer Agents and the strawhats, (Not counting Luffy VS Crocodile, of course.) but it got better after that. And the "Storm"-scene… well, I'd already seen it a few times, and now it doesn't seem that bad anymore. Don't see why they included the Robin flashbacks at the end though...

Please excuse me for my ignorance, but is there a planned time frame as to when a subbed version will be released?

i just upload the one piece movie 8 raw on the megaupload. for those cant wait for the DVD to out, here is the great alternative..enjoy!

Download: http://anime-drama.blogspot.com

Ao Kiji

…..no sub yet?

fps_anth

In light of the whole Movie 9 situation, does anyone know if the Franky part at the end was even included in the DVD? Or was it theatre only?

If it's on the DVD, I'd like to see/hear it…

Dragon Warrior Steve

What was the scene with Franky?

tonitonichopper

@Dragon:

What was the scene with Franky?

They say there was a teaser for movie 9 with Franky in it.

Any HQ DVD-rips out yet?

SakuraDestiny

I've encoded a raw of movie 8 from a DVD ISO I downloaded from Share. The video quality of the ISO isn't that great, so there is a slight chance it isn't the official DVD, although I know Toei has a habit of botching DVDs. The raw is anamorphic 720x480, just like the source, and high profile x264/aac/mp4. I didn't try to crop it or anything, and this is my first attempt at encoding from an ISO. Also, I had trouble getting rid of blocking even though I maxed out all the codec settings. Still, it's decent quality, at least compared to the source.

Anyway, get the torrent here:

Also, here is a rip of the Japanese subs (idx/sub):

The subs match the audio very closely, so it should be helpful for translating.

Meleeboy0

I was skimming through the movie, because I don't really want to watch it fully until I get the subtitles, but I noticed that the part where Crocodile grabs Luffy and sucks him dry was completely removed. You know, the part where Luffy shoots 3 huge bubbles of water into the air and they come back down and revive him.

Am I the only one who has seemed to notice this? It was one of my favorite parts in the whole arc, as well as the part where the fake Usopp comes up and tries to get a hold of Vivi.

I'm just curious if anybody can confirm the absence of these two scenes. I haven't watched it from beginning to end yet. Thanks.

tonitonichopper

Neither scenes were animated.

all blue

bleh. i just downloaded and watched the sub. and was disappointed. i think it was the first one piece thing i actually didnt like. if you dont already know the story (not that i didnt) its really hard to follow. but i suppose they did theyre best trying to cram all that into one movie. also i thought the art was inconsistent. sometimes real good (the opening scene with pell) sometimes awful (when vivi talks to the crew after bon-clay leaves).
so thats my opinion, feel free to disagree.

Mr. All Sunday

Is Hina in the movie?

I'm a bit skeptical to Torrent it, as judging from what I've heard it's pretty terrible.

! No Marines in the movie, infact it basically ends after the goodbye Vivi thing.

Lord Starfish

@Mr.:

I liked the movie, at least. Sure, it was missing alot, and the battles against all the Officer Agents were far too short, (They practically just showed how they ended…) but there is some good stuff too, like Pell's "death", Luffy beating Crocodile, (Also the only fight in the movie that didn't have that extremely rushed feel) and the ending. It's not as good as it was in the anime, of course, but it's still worth watching. Though, I think it would have helped if it was 30 minutes longer...

MushroomBoy

yeah, i dunno why everyoen hates it. i really enjoyed it! obviousyl not amazing, and could've been better, but that doesn't mean y'can't like it.
