One Piece Film: Red

One Piece is an amazing TV anime and one I've been watching for more then a decade. So I was make sure to tune into their movies. While this movie was far from their best, I still enjoyed certain aspects. If you tune in to watch a bunch of fighting (which most fans would've seeing as it is a battle shonen) then the movie is not good. Personally, I thought the musical + battle arrangement was innovative, of course it could've been better but the overall story was able to entertain for the duration (until the last part). I personally found the ending a mix of being extremely cool and extremely cringy, Shanks and his crew can't actually show their power because spoilers so it felt a bit awkward, and the choreography is nothing compared to Stampede. The music and animation was great, but Uta felt annoying, its a waste seeing as I thought she could've been the best movie only character. Overall, fun movie but would not satisfy most fans, particularly those who expect the usual style of One Piece movie.

Luffy doesn't say "Gomu gomu no.." even once. The story is pathetic. Uta is so unappealing as a character. The songs sound like they have been made up in 10 minutes each. The CGI is god awful. The dialogue is so fast paced and not memorable. The fighting is unacceptable for One Piece standards. Same formula from the Stampede movie is used: Bring all the characters in one island and give all of them their signature one liners.

Don't try to put this garbage into the regular One Piece timeline. Think of it as a fan side-movie that has nothing to do with the story. I really hope they come up with something more creative next time.

5 points for the lighting during the songs. That was a feast to the eye.

Cool songs and a few amazing fight scenes, but unfortunately a letdown on some parts. I love One Piece so much but I'm not gonna lie, I almost fell asleep in the middle of the movie simply because too many effects were used in the battle scene and it got pretty repetitive that I lost all focus and got too bored. It's also a big shame that recent One Piece movies had become a series of cameo fest instead of a good adventure movie with just the straw hats. I know it's interesting to see old characters coming back, but too many of them randomly showing up makes it look like they were there just for show. I believe One Piece movies are mostly non-canon, but I think a sense of believability is still needed to make them enjoyable and this movie simply offered no canon continuity or believable value (in the perspective of a long-running series with its own universe). Although, as a spectacle, this movie was enjoyable and a fun watch in general, filled with classic One Piece humour, and it surely is always nice to see the straw hats together!

The story is good, normal people can enjoy it, not just fans, and there are some of good tearjerking scene, though not as good as when Going Merry sank

The songs by Ado and the UTA singing scene are epic, and the feels you get when you watch it, it was so damn good I've search and added all the songs to my spotify playlist.

The battle scene are all epic, and talk a lot about their characters, especially those who rarely shown in Manga and Anime

All in all, the movie is a very good One Piece Movie where it focus on a backstory, and makes you love the character, for me this is the best One Piece Movie so far, because you actually feels the story, not just come and see Luffy punch the hell out of the enemy. It's boring

Ignore those who rate this Movie is bad, just because

• They felt oda mislead them to see it for shanks power, where in the movie Shanks did shows some of his power though not all of them, cmon, the even in the manga Shanks is a very mysterious character, and you think Oda will shows it in Movie, when the manga itself haven't got to that part?

• The angry fans because the movie shows a lot of singing scene, i mean cmon, the trailer already shows that the new character is a SINGER, the stage is a LIVE CONCERT, even all the synopsis says so, how come you can't even expect the movie will contain a lot of singing scene? Think a bit before talk.

Movies about one of the longest running and still unfinished anime we have out there. Not being very knowledgeable about either the comic series or the cartoon series I cannot say if this film is accurate in terms of coherence and continuity with the general plot and for this I will limit myself to judging the film for what it is. So overall the film is very colorful and full of life but it's still a bit boring, there are several points that in my opinion are too drawn out and too long to keep the viewer's attention, having said that though overall the film is watchable It is funny. So in conclusion the movie is good.
