I've already watched multiple times since getting. That's probably my obsession with one piece, though. I've got two of the movies now. Out of them it depends on what you want to watch. This is a bit like an arc squashed into an entire movie. Which I love. Definitely going to rewatch. It depends on the day, but today its definitely my favourite movie.
De las primeras películas que compro de One piece y tiene una muy buena calidad! Excelente compra! Si estuviera en español latino me hubiera gustado más!
This movie is great. If you love One Piece already, you'll have a blast, like I did, while watching this movie. It has a good story, good albeit short, for the most part, fights, & a great dub. Taking place in between the 1st 2 arcs with Brook, it sees the Strawhat crew going up against Shiki the Golden Lion, who's kidnapped Nami in the plan to have her as his navigator after she predicts a storm that not even his top crew saw coming.
Story: 8/10. The story also sees the Strawhats having to return to the East Blue, after finding out it's in danger of being attacked, then the stuff I mention happens. This film was the 1st personally overseen by the manga's author Eiichiro Oda, so it's most likely canon with the show & it's a great ride all the way through. The fights, while they feel short, are cut in favor of the story of the movie, which is fine with me. It's easy to get into & like, so fans who haven't seen it yet, will be able to get invested in it.
Animation: 10/10. The animation is PHENOMINAL, especially in HD, so DEFINITELY get the Blu-Ray/DVD combo pack for that & the fact that for some reason it & the DVD version are the exact same price. You'd expect the DVD to be like $5 cheaper than the combo pack, but whatever. We get several costume changes for the Strawhats & some interesting animals. Plus, the last fight looks SPECTACULAR in HD, so look forward to those.
Dub: 10/10. VERY accurate. I watch anime, if available, in the English dub w/ the subtitle track & this movie is VERY accurate to the Japanese. The cast does a great job as their characters & the 5.1 audio mixing softens the voices & better mixes them with the sound effects & music better than on the show, which makes Colleen Clinkenbeard's Luffy voice more bearable, not that she's not bearable as Luffy, but it makes it better. All of the other actors do their characters like normal & they're great. Scott McNeil does a great Jamaican accent for Shiki, so there you go. I hope they bring him back for the future episode(s) that Shiki shows up in. If you, like me, like watching One Piece dubbed, you won't be disappointed. Ian Sinclair does a great job as Brook. I've heard him as Dandy in Space Dandy & he sounds nothing like in there, as he does some different things with his Brook voice than Dandy & it's great hearing him as Brook. His singing is also great, not forced, & a bit weird like I've been hearing it should be like in the original Japanese.
Overall, I'd highly recommend this movie if you are a One Piece fan & want to see it in HD, with a great dub & also great packaging, which matches up with the Collection sets very nicely on the shelf.
I choice this rating because I love the One Piece anime and everything about it. The characters and 80% of the stories are chalk full of emotional twists and turns and action galore. The only problem I had with this movie was some of the english voice actors. I just found they weren't well suited to the characters compared to the japanese ones. The includes Brook and Franky. Just feel the japanese actors were stronger in their role. Apart from that a super awesome movie and glad to have it in my One Piece collection.
