Shimanuki cut was the best thing about this episode his monster drawing are excellent & the impact look brutal but damn his one of the weakest animator directors on one piece.

RE: One Piece Opening 22: "Over The Top" by Hiroshi Kitadani (7th July)
Takara didn't work on the opening. FYI the animators were:
- Yong-ce Tu (villain lineup, Kid and Hawkins, a decent chunk of Luffy vs. Kaido)
- Tetsuro Tsuyuki
- Takashi Kojima (Luffy struggling in chains
- Katsumi Ishizuka (Boundman punching Kaido at the end)
- Kenji Yokoyama
- Yoshihiko Umakoshi (most likely Law's attack)
- Masami Mori (Straw Hat showcase while Luffy, Zoro, and Tama ride the koma)
- Hiromi Ishigami (Zoro jumping and slashing the screen immediately afterward)
- Midori Matsuda
- Akiko Sugizono
- Meng Sun
- Ting-mu Yang
- Jun-wen Tang
Also, personal opinion and all but having to showcase complete scrubs like Holdem and Speed alongside the Calamities is kind of an indictment on the quality of the villains so far this arc.
Thanks for that.
Lol holdem and speed part XD not a fan in the arc in the manga but PAGE 1 is darn cool hope he gets more shine.

RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Lol Crossword and me have slightly different ratings still. Those are how I rate the directors.
But yeah great great stuff to come for the anime.
lol i use to get at him regarding that :)
So if the opening isn't lying, while Nagamine's nominally the series director, Kureta and Komaki are sharing that position too. Welp
I imagine this means at some point one of kureta or komaki is going to take over from Nagamine which is usually what happens when there two series directors credited at toei.

RE: One Piece Anime To Enter Wano Arc In July 2019
I happy all these changes are made for wano but blugh I do not care about this arc in the manga so far.
Massive fan of Dressrose felt like whole cake was a step down but still good but wano arc has been boring so far, hopefully the anime filler can make it more interesting.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
didn't notice aya komaki got upgraded to 5 star nice to see that, going to be interesting seeing her under the new composition studio.
893, 894 & 895 line up is looking super strong.
-
RE: One Piece Anime To Enter Wano Arc In July 2019
Yeah my money on matsuda aswell her style isn't far from hisada plus she did character design work on the navy base filler with the 3 navy base rookies.
shuuichi ito really changed his style to match ichakawa more.
I hope they go batshit and give the job to isamu takara mmm….love his clothing and muscles he draws.
-
RE: One Piece Anime To Enter Wano Arc In July 2019
One Piece Anime will have a new character designer!!! New character designer will replace Kazuya Hisada (he took up the position in 2009 until today).
that news is crazy so excited.
-
RE: Tatsuya Nagamine will be the new Series Director of One Piece TV anime from Wano
Meh I don't like this news at all, tatsuya nagamine is very talented but I don't like disciple directors that follow other famous directors too much such as shigeyasu Yamauchi(his mentor, who like a mentor for every other famous anime director).
tatsuya nagamine as an episode director yes please!!!… but as a series director that's too much nagamine for me.
on the bright side he did a wonderful job on dragon ball super and this now free's up Fukazawa to do more episodes.
I hope he manages to get Ryōta NAKAMURA to do more episode for one piece that new guy is really good :D
-
RE: 870: "The Blazing-Fast Fist - Activating Gear Fourth's New Form!
HOLY SHIT i need to pick my eyes off the ground.
damn tomita, watanabe, ishizuka,tu,shida and all the other animators involved really out did themselfs.
ishizuka,tomita, kitazaki and tu have really improved this arc.

857
AD : Shuichi Ito
ED : Yasunori KoyamaSuper happy to see Yasunori Koyama return after a bit of a break, the anime team seems to have a lot more people on rotation then a few years ago to me, thanks to returning vets.
-
RE: ''Episode of Sky Island''
missed most of it but the stream quality was so poor I couldn't make out any animators except lots of lovely eisaku inoue art.
they skipped a lot in the final fight sadly.
Can't wait to watch it 1080p.
-
RE: 845: ''Pudding's Determination - The Seducing Woods Ablaze!''
Episode is much strong then I expected going by last weeks preview.
germa action was nice, some nice art and direction for the toasting of king baum, that tree just refuse to die.
Sounds like they played a new music track early on.
-
RE: 841: ''Escape the Tea Party! Luffy vs. Big Mom''
they did a great job of packing this episode with a lot well animated action scenes and with the big mom pirate being alot more active in this arc in trying to stop the strawhats then there manga counter part, oda has admitted not having the chance to give characters screen time in the sbs(lol smoothie did more in this episode alone then the whole manga).
strong direction in the later half with germa was a treat and big mom was lot more fearsome in the anime.
Had no clue kitazaki was that good of a key animator.
Tomita and kitazaki kiled it, mitsui & tu had some nice scenes.
One piece fans are a confused bunch anyways I wouldn't pay them any mind.
-
RE: One Piece "Episode of Skypiea", new TV Special (25th August 2018)
I love skypiea but there no way they can do this arc in 2hr there far to much rich wonderfully excuted ambitions storyelling and comedy gold to fit in 2 hrs.
Skypiea is oda most ambitios arc story his done so far and one of the most ambitious ones in the genre along chemra ant arc of hxh.
They should of adapt another arc since skypiea is already beyond perfect in the anime.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
No such thing as per time skip or post time skip colour palette.
The colour palette had always been changing on a per arc bases.
Water 7 to thriller bark have to completely different colour palette.
Fishmen land and dress rosa have hugely different colour palette, hell even the designs are very different.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Studio guts is part of the tv animation but best believe the summer special going to have some of the tv anime staff.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
with the amount of hours tomita has been putting lately he might aswell be An AD.
-
RE: General Anime Discussion Thread
they made diafuku look like the ultimate badass, his voice is cooler then katakuri.
-
RE: General Anime Discussion Thread
I'm pretty sure the closeup on Katakuri's face is Mitsui aswell.
You can see the similarities to (What I believe is) Mitsui in the #826 NEP

https://i.imgur.com/61l0Gk0.jpgthe jimbie shots looks like takara isamu to me, but luffy looks like mitsui.
smashing the mirror looks like mitsui.
most the opening scenes look like tomita.
-
RE: 825: ''Liar - Luffy and Sanji''
Great episode, Katsumi ishikazu punch was incredible (nobody in the anime industry does impact like him) and esaku inoue + ichikawa art was super nice.
Next looks like takra isamu is back in strong form plus mitsu youchi working on it.
One piece anime has been on fire for quite some time lately.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Not sure why there hyping this arc but it''s dream come ture to have ishizuka back.
Yeah next episode looks like a lot matsuda and ichikawa to me.
Would love to see ishizuka and tomita do some Germa 66 action .
-
RE: 824: ''The Promised Spot - Luffy's Strained One-On-One''
Great to have komaki aya back to directing amazing return, her episode always surpass the manga is based on.
Great atmosphere ,storyboarding and filler content.
Tomita, hisada, mitsui yochi did exceptional extended work on this episodes animation.
-
RE: 822: ''The Decision to Say Farewell - Sanji and the Straw Hat Bento Box''
Really good storyboard this week,made the filler fight more enjoyable.
From the preview next week it looks like naohiro_shintani is working on the mama sleeping scene.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Grest to see the legendary Komaki back in the director seat.
I use post great brackground art in this thread.
My fav is ace/sabo arc, zou, the story hats individual side story arc when they where split up.
The best backgrouds are normally found in flashack strories.
-
RE: 816: ''The History of the Two Left Eyes - Pedro vs. Baron Tamago''
Wow lots of creative camera angles used in this weeks episode, cool angles, great sketch effect from nobru, I don't remember Pedro use his tail like tanuki Mario from Mario bros 3, the kick dodge Scene was hell cool, even brook mama incounter, fav part of the episode was the flash back to Pedro vs tamago first fight in the past which I don't remember being shown in the manga.
Episode shitted on the already great manga chapter from a great height.
Down side music volume could be a little higher that's pretty much it.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Interesting they been ramping up animation lately.
Inoue,noboru kozumi and chioka worked on tiger mask before coming back to one piece.
I thought I would never see inoue and kozumi return.
Now all we need is Komaki aya to direct & storyboard again then that's a dream scenario.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Looks like tomita key animation to me, the shading.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
There isn't even enough action content in the one piece manga to support the justification of all those action animators, last 5 years most of the best animation are all filler scenes the animators or storyboarders just add.
Look at smoker vs vergo as an example 90% is all filler with top notch animation.
There's all ready plenty of talented animators and directors on the rota currently.
-
RE: 806: ''The Power of a Full Stomach - The New Gear Fourth Tankman!
When komaki aya involved you know episode is going to be great.
The blasting off part was much better the manga.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Thanks
Does any one know aya komaki twitter, which we could her to storyboard and direct an episide like old times.Episode of East east blue really show cased how great katsumi ishuzka is with zoro part, also ota sanji part was nice.
-
RE: 804: ''To East Blue - Sanji's Decision to Set Sail''
Wow the anime team ain't playin.
Strong direction,story boarding ,shot composition ,backgrounds,art and good use of music.
-
RE: ''Episode of East Blue: Luffy and His Four Companions' Grand Adventure''
Wow I actually called ishuzka doing the mihawk fight.
Someone should give that man his own special or movie.
-
RE: "Episode of East Blue" anime special, plus manga cover stories, coming August 26
Each tv special has a different look thanks to the different staff involved.
Different character designers, animation director & art director will result in a different look.
Episode of nami, merry & 3d2y where all pre time skip but looked nothing like pre-time skip era all of them had there own look.
if your expecting sayo designs to look like nobru kozumi cartoon design your setting your self up.
Zoro design has the proportions of his post time skip look just without the scar.
-
RE: 801: ''The Benefactor's Life - Sanji and Owner Zeff''
in the manga luffy was fighting cranky for over 10hrs with no success, his trying to get to sanji before it's too late it would be strange for him not use King Kong gun his best move, the manga just skipped majority of the fighting.
-
RE: "Episode of East Blue" anime special, plus manga cover stories, coming August 26
The close up of zoro stabbed by mihawk and maybe the part with bellamarie hugging nami & her sister.
It looks a little like some of the work he did in episode of nami.
-
RE: "Episode of East Blue" anime special, plus manga cover stories, coming August 26
Is it me or am I seeing some Katsumi ishizuka in the preview footage.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Toei seems to have been playing around with a lot of post-processing filters lately. The new Episode of East Blue appears to be using one. You guys think there's any chance we'll see something similar happen to One Piece in the future?
They used post processing filters in past for the under water scenes in fishmen island and the blazing heat in alabasta.
Nagamine is know for his heavy use of filters while other directors don't use them as much.
-
RE: 794: ''A Fight Between Father and Son - Judge vs. Sanji!''
"Are your hands for cooking?!"
He asks as he punches Sanji. I'm pretty sure it was heavily implied Zeff used his wooden leg to beat him in the manga.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
How come Dragon Ball Super has looked so much better than One Piece lately? It's making me incredibly jealous :(
Dragon ball super fans suffered long enough while they were suffering one piece fans where trashing any form of sakuga by top animators.
One piece fan base Don't deserve anything nice, there going to trash any good animator that works on the series anyways.
Thanks to ichikawa one piece has reached a level it mostly has very strong art the designs hisada provided for germa really pop out , with some nice sanji close ups.
I enjoyed the direction of the fight it had some nice art but the animation was just decent nothing special, I suspect some of the key animators are busy working on the special.
Next week looks better.
By way tiger mask w ends next week or the week after, that's where a lot of toei top animation staff are at, production should have ended so I expect some talent trickle down to one piece and other toei shows.
Tiger mask w as been lit it's like one of the best original anime to air in a long time.

RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
So this is where the budget goes.
There's nothing special about any of those commercials.
-
RE: "Episode of East Blue" anime special, plus manga cover stories, coming August 26
Director: Otsuka (ED of #616, #753, etc.)
Character Design: Sato (CD and CAD of SW, Z and Gold)Most of this was already covered by episode of nami and episode of luffy, should of done skypiea or a complete cover page stories for 2 hours.
Not really interested in otsuka and sato would of loved a more interesting combo like komaki & Katsumi ishizuka.
Oh well episode of sabo turned out much better then expected maybe there some new content in there.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Who is Kimikita Ito? Her/she is the animation director for 793, can't find anything on them, am guessing complete new person.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Isamu takara is one the best animation directors to work on one piece and currently the best followed by Ito and ichikawa, is isochi is still great but just on nakatani level.
Isamu takara hyper detailed smear style is a treat to watch, the guy drawers some sato level muscles.
Best op animation directors in my opinion ever.
1.Katsumi ishizuka
2.esaku inoue
3.naoki Tate /isamu takara
4.noboru kozumi
5.hidaki naniwa
6.atsuko kawamru
7.shuunchi Ito -
RE: 784: ''0 and 4 - Confrontation! The Germa 66''
Beautiful episode for no reason, that shintani art & animation looked beautiful which was like 7mins long.
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Holy shit that big news, Hisada has been with one piece since day 0.
Explains why Ichikawa has been in ton of episodes lately, his style reminds me of the previous chief animation director kozumi, while midori takes after hisada.
Looks like the vine smokes character designs are still by Hisada
-
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Looks like one of toei's best animators Naohiro Shintani has returned to One piece this week, his been gone for the last near 3 years due to constantly working on Toei's anime movies.
Keiichi Ichikawa is great addition to the one piece team.
Atsuko Kawamura did a fantastic job the last 8 years working on one piece,the man never let us down with his consistent good art but talent comes, goes and some time returns so it's unrealtic to expect them to work on one piece forever.
-
RE: 777: ''To the Reverie - Princess Vivi and Princess Shirahoshi''
lots of great art in the this episode, lots of mitsu yoichi but there's other really good art I suspect is Kitazaki Masahiro & others.
Croc-Boi!
Kitazaki Masahiro?mitsu yoichi
Overall really good re-animation of a very old arc, which they really didn't have to they could of used old 2000s footage or movie 8 footage.
-
RE: 776: ''Descending the Elephant - Setting Sail for Sanji's Retrieval''
With each passing episode the young Yasunori Koyama keeps on improving, I can see him becoming out of top episode directors at toei in a few years.
nicely looking & nicely storyboarded episode, cool animation by Tomita & urata.
Next episode looks like great with lot of detailed mitsui yoichi animation.
mitsui yoichi art. -
RE: A Study of One Piece Animation
Does someone know by any chances what happened to Ishizuka? He was my favourite AD…
Ishizuka is my fav AD aswell, his hasn't been as active but his only been working on movies & specials in the last year.
he recently worked on the toei movie Popin-Q, before that was the tv one piece special Adventure of nebuland before that was Episode of sabo and Dragon ball z resurrection F.
-
RE: 773: "The Nightmare Returns - The Invincible Jack's Assault"
One piece fan base don't deserve anything nice, they will complain about anything & everything, they have power to spin anything positive into negative as if they where hit by persona negative ghost.
Dragon ball super fans would kill for some shida animation & pecure fans love him.
The talented staff are better off working on other Toei shows where the fans base appretiate them for there hard work.
