One Piece, le film

As the first "One Piece Film" it clocks in at 51 minutes. It is a glorified 3 part episode, and has the early series entertaining charm. The small cast (before the series expanded greatly) really helps the pacing of this, letting the narrative work around the Straw Hat crew. While there's no real stakes and the villain is a one-note joke, the film is fine. Not great, not bad, but just fine.

This is a non-canonical side adventure taking place in the East Blue prior to Sanji joining the true. Very old school (90s) looking anime movie art style which I enjoyed for nostalgia reasons. The slapstick here, especially involving Usopp seemed funnier here than typical One Piece anime eps during opening East Blue arc.

The reason I gave this a bonus 1/2 star is because while most of the story feels typical filler'ish, I really found the reveal at the end to be quite a surprisingly powerful/meaningful message.

Currently on anime 339/2078. This is my second OP film and looking forward to watching all the OP movies and specials!! 😜👍

One Piece movie 1 is a Fun Adventure form the more simple One piece Days.

Movie 1 feels like one of the more fun filler episodes of the show, where we have clean and strong fights, fun slapstick.

And it hits on the normal themes of the show, like dreams and bad pirates being greedy bastard.

But it's done well, so it's not annoying.

But where anime shines in the animation, it looks good, It has some smooth fighting, it has that nice cell animation looks, and you can truly feel it is the Dragon Ball movie team that is animating the fights.

One of the joys about watching the one piece movies and the Dragon Ball movies, is you get to see the characters in certain power levels, just have fun Adventures that they didn't get to in the main series, and this movie you get that feeling, and that's why I will recommend it.

I didn't watch any animation movie, but this movie is the best movie i saw, If you have less interest about animation movie I will give advice, because I was don't like animation movie but you should see this movie. One piece movie give you real feeling about the story and it's same a relastic story and what a beautiful ending it's really amazing. I disappointed because I didn't interest about animation movie, but know i want to increase my interest to animation movie. In the final I would say anyone he doesn't care about animation movie he isn't see the real dramatic action, it was fantastic movie.

In the first movie installment of One Piece, we're told of a tale of Great Gold Pirate Woonan. A pirate who obtain 1/3 of the world's gold. Over the years, Woonan's existence has faded away. And a legend grew on his gold located on a remote island he settled on.

Luffy, Zoro, Usopp, and Nami got involved in the hunt for Woonan's treasure after meeting Tabio(a kid who admires Woonan) and a group of pirates lead by El Drago. El Drago is a tall Aztec Indian like man who's mad about gold. And wants every piece of Woonan's treasure.

As the hunt begins on the island, the Straw Hat Pirates must stop El Drago from stealing the treasure. But El Drago's crave for gold makes him dangerous to go up against.

Takes place between episodes 18 and 19. This movie is well thought up for being the first for the ever popular One Piece series. The animation and style are the same. And 51 minutes running long makes it feel like a double episode special.

Never a dull moment with the action, comedy, and character development used throughout the movie. A must see for those who like the anime. Only available on fan sub. Which is as easy to find on the internet as %0
