But it's a shit movie. It's barely even worth the DVD-R.
Noo
It's a great movie. It deserves to be purchased. Don't make me go QuexMex on you..

LONG fingers are long.
Yeah, no idea what the hell was up with that.
Mr. 1's fingers ARE long. Have you ever looked at his design?

i must disagree.
I don't really wanna pay for this, It just doesn't seem worth it. I skipped around through the sub to see how they did it…
I hope this gets uploaded on Youtube or Veoh, or if I can find a file of it...
Or I hope my friend gets it...
i must disagree.
Then my dear friend
I challenge you to a XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN

Yea go and steal sales from Funi, specially since this Dub cost them shit-loads of cash, I don't wanna know how much the movie cost them.

Anime News Network's review.
Ok (reads)
a desperate bomb-defusing plan that hinges on a heavy blow to the testicles of Sanji
W.. T.. F..?
ust try watching Vivi's final, simple, desperate plea for peace without getting misty-eyed.
yay
with its supremely ugly supporting characters and skinny, gangly-limbed main cast
hey hey hey..
now he's just taking a blow at the show in general.
Crocodile loses his sepulchral charisma
ORLY?
Just try watching Vivi's final, simple, desperate plea for peace without getting misty-eyed.
i was too busy laughing
also lol at them getting usopp and sanji mixed up
also lol at them getting usopp and sanji mixed up
I thought they were talking about Sanji's Bon Kurei fight.. and how Bon changing into Nami slowed Sanji down..
@Lobster:

i think they meant the part where nami uses the pieces of her clima tact to hit usopp's crotch to launch the chain of events to get vivi up to the bomb
Oh yeah those freeze frame moments, while a neat idea, got old fast. I started getting the impression that they were just trying to shave off several seconds worth of animation.
I picked up the movie yesterday at our local gaming/manga/anime store. They were under the impression that the release date had been bumped up so they had been selling it since last Tuesday. The owner said he'd been having a tough time keeping it stocked on the floor and, in his words, the movie was "flying off the shelves."
in his words, the movie was "flying off the shelves."
That's good to hear. No really, this only means more movies are on the way. One step closer to Movie 6 :p
I challenge you to a XIAOLIN SHOWDOWN
You know I can't help but see that (and I know you've done said it before) and think, "Meh, real men…
Anything else and you're just a weenie."
Anyway back on topic. ANN's review was quite fair. I think it was a bit too kind in the Animation critique, but otherwise they nailed it.

i am looking at your signature and decided your opinions are invalidated
good day sir
Hmm, I suppose considering how the cast is still new to the roles a 'C+ isn't bad but you can tell how much disdain the reviewer has for Shônen.

Hey, it looks like "theotaku" gave the movie a review as well.

pretty cool that One Piece is finally being mentioned everywhere :D
For anyone interested, Bestbuy.com is having a President's Day sale and the OP Movie 8 is on sale for $15.
But TODAY is presidents day, and it's out tomorrow
-_-
@Lobster:

Yes, I ordered it today, and got the sale price.

Yeah, that IS dumb as hell. Who puts a movie that isn't even supposed to be out yet in the bargain-bin? Nice for whoever is actually able to buy stuff from there, but still… WTF. That's more stupid than this one online-store I buy most of my anime-DVDs from, which keeps saying that EVERYTHING is on sale, even if it hasn't even been released yet. I'm pretty sure they just do it so people will be more tempted to buy them, though. And as a semi-on-topic comment on said store: They don't have the movie available for preorder...

Best Buy seems to do this with a lot of it's DVDs on the first week of their release. I'm sure it will still have the sale price when it is released in stores.
hey i heard from a number of people it was gonna be on DVD HERE-in America, on the 19th of April. any truth in that?
You do not sign on much, do you?
Yes, this Tuesday is the release of One Piece Movie 8 Uncut.
Ugh, this movie was horrible. The dub looks great watching youtube clips, but it's not worth buying even with that.
I'll wait for movie 4 and 6 before I buy any of them.
Sheesh, what's the matter here? Can't you see this is the first and freshest opportunity we have to show our support for the new dub? Sure, the movie itself may not be worth it, but I say supporting Funi and the new dub is worth every penny!
Got the movie.
Heh, one thing I find funny is how when your playing the English track the original One Piece logo that lifts from the sands suddenly turns into the FUNi logo even though you clearly see the Luffy "I" before it turns into the FUNi logo. XD

In addition to what Black Magician said, a lot of Best Buys and other stores have it early and it just premeired in theatres a couple weeks ago in limited places for four days. Check around first before asking questions that are common knowledge now.
What luck, the BB near me also has it. And so, being the supportive fan that I am, I'm gonna go buy it and watch it, despite it's probable lameness. That's just how cool I am.
Are there any extras on the DVD?
Are there any extras on the DVD?
I'm afraid not. All there is are some trailers for other FUNimation dubs. And the One Piece "trailer" for the uncut boxsets is just a still image telling us… what we already know.
So, yeah. No extras to speak of. Hopefully they'll put at least a few on the uncut box sets when they come out.
And the One Piece "trailer" for the uncut boxsets is just a still image telling us… what we already know.
Possibly one of the most anticlimactic moments ever for me. Just sitting there, waiting for a sudden explosion in music and animation of uncut One Piece goodness…and then ten seconds later, I'm back to the Trailers menu.

why not wait for box sets, which will give them more money, and won't suck?
support the new dub by watching it on TV, support FUNi by buying other things

Watching the English adaption on TV really isn't gonna support the franchise nearly as much as it would be if you purchased the DVDs. And we never told you to choose one product. If a lot of people purchase the DVD, then FUNimation will be convinced to dub other movies. It won't kill you to spend $20.00 for an uncut DVD of a series you like, if that's all it takes to support the franchise, then why not ? FUNimation will not release more dubbed movies or go very far with the franchise if the small fanbase One Piece already has doesn't even buy all of their DVDs.
I guess you could just get the boxsets, but you won't be cool like Shift and me.

i've spent a shitload of money on one piece merchandice (legal and otherwise >.>), i've been buying the manga and reading jump since 2003, i got the new wii game (dubbed by FUNi), went to the theater to see the movie (supporting more theatrical releases, rather than straight-to-DVD, thank you very much), etc
i've also been buying FUNi DVDs since around 2003
me not getting a crappy movie i already paid like eight dollars to see won't cripple funimation
Imma buying the movie to show my support.
Plus, it'll be the first One Piece DVD that I've owned.
Well I'm buying the movie because I liked it..
what a maddening reason, right? … -_-
Hey guys, Gaia put a profile up for the movie: http://www.gaiaonline.com/profiles/?u=12148692

I'll support the new dub when there's a product with the new dub that's worth buying.
I want to support FUNi as much as the next guy, but movie 8 is just not worth it.
How about rent? Can I just rent it?
Aw, my Best Buy either didn't have it ready after or, or they just got really mixed up. Either way, I can't call myself cool just yet.
Whether the movie's lame or not, though, if I can enjoy Funi's work on it, then there's no telling how much I'll be able to get out of their work once they do the real thing. I'm just taking a small sampling now to showing them I'll be ready for more when they're ready to bring it.
I'm buying it for three reasons:
1. To support One Piece
2. Cause it's One Piece
3. I haven't seen it
FUNi could release a pile of dog shit in a baggy with a OP sticker on it and sell it for $30 and I'll probably still buy it…maybe not right away, tho.

But… wouldn't those be the 4Kids dvds? BURN!
I think there's a key difference here:
4Kids= loves it fans' money
Funi= loves its fans AND their money

Hehe, this is a meme in the making!
But… wouldn't those be the DBZ Remastered dvds? BURN!
Err…I hear bad things about the DBZ Remasters, but really just some scenes the art is messed up, that's not gonna stop me from buying them when I get money.
It's only really bad depending on how close you look at it, otherwise it's a good buy. 39 episodes for under 50 bucks is a nice deal.
