You really oughta be happy it's doing this well rather than acting like this, willingly setting yourself up for disappointment. It did better than My Hero's latest film, a series that is indeed very popular in the US, I don't care how many more theaters it had in comparison they were both similar releases at a similar time in the year and did around the same ballpark. Crunchyroll and Toei are happy, so I really just think you had your expectations in the wrong place man. At the end of the day too, what grip does Twitter have on you to be so ready for people to mock you that you were dreading it? Anime fandoms on there are packed full of teenagers and young kids who screech mid and pick fights with each other over stupid nonsense everyday and no life it, it's not the real world.

RE: New One Piece Movie: RED (6th August 2022) !!
@dropper The hack didn't affect the film at all, the post processing studio was just different outside of Uta's musical numbers and tried to get the same style as the anime but obviously wasn't a resounding success. Art wise, the film has 20 different animation supervisors and over 150 key animators which is rather large by One Piece standards, which needless to say is a result of probably both Oda's designs and director Goro Taniguchi not being 100% with how Toei works and does things, Oda and co needing to approve various aspects of the film probably didn't help either.

Microsoft told me there was an ongoing issue with the distributor that was the same as last month that should be resolved within the next few days but this is getting old, second set in a row that's missed the release date

Man that dub was fantastic! Outside of the unfortunate lack of dubbed songs, all the cast really killed it and AmaLee and Foronda specifically killed it, amazing performances - props to the team

While that's great and clear confirmation that Anthony leaving didn't slow anything down, I'm just gonna wait and see if they intend to continue releasing them in 12 episode chunks or try something different with their digital releases.

The lack of tweet makes me think they're gonna advertise the Crunchyroll release from now on but this wouldn't be the first time they'd be late tweeting it out

Emily is still on the show at least but yeah it surely explains it. In hindsight, I think Toei's digital release strategy and it coming before Crunchyroll always made a simuldub slightly impossible since they release the episodes in 12 to 13 episode batches so perhaps a slowdown was inevitable anyway

@Captain-Krupp The package deal thing is a bunch of bs since the 4Kids rep that said that at the time acted like all Shonen Jump titles are given to licensors by the same company, when they were dealing with Toei who didn't have the license to Shaman King nor a package deal with it and One Piece cause it wasn't their show. They naturally just went to a company they thought would make it a hit and it didn't pan out that way.

@JustaGuy Well the film is actually incomplete with the dub release on digital which is a bigger yikes. Basically the movie had to crunch a bit during production, so a lot of retakes for a lot of aspects were done for the Amazon Prime release in Japan and probably the Blu-ray....but the dub release is the theatrical version
