One Piece - Das Dead End Rennen

The narrative centers on the straw hat pirates, who discover there is a grand pirate race when stranded on an island and in need of money. That should be plenty to pique anyone's interest on its own. The antagonist is someone you can despise, and the entire film is fantastic. One Piece's art style is a little different from other animes, but it stays loyal to itself and is even better, which is the only reason I didn't give it a ten. Fantastic characters-I don't even need to explain if you watch the series; if not, all I can say is that you will never meet a better cast of characters than this one.

* Definitely the Best among the first 9 movies Great Storyline as usual .

Classic Comedy .

Main antagonist's introduction and his fights were nice.

Side Characters are very well written.

The only thing bad is we didn't get Zoro's solo fight.

Overall:⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

One piece Dead end Is a unique take on a one piece movie, we have betting and racing. It's really fun.

You can really feel the extra 40 minutes that this movie has, compared to the 3 previously. More time to see the crew just relaxing and being together, so it doesn't feel rushed. We get time to see the new character getting more fleshed out. So you care about there's struggles.

Setup is so fun, our favorite crew is short on cash, they hear there is a boat race going, and now highseas pirate racing shenanigans begins.

And the new characters are fun and, we get to see some very nice sides to the main crew we don't see often. It's just a very good setup for a Fun Adventure.

The movie does look a bit cheap compared to the 3, previous and the 3D does not look good, but the story more than delivers.

The villain of this movie is nice. He feels like he's an echo from crocodile, but in a navy suit and really disgusting as a human being.

The best you can hope for when it comes to franchise movies, is if they are interesting or try something new. This does so, I would recommend it.

The best of the pre-Strong World One Piece films. Luffy and company are engaged in suspenseful race against a dangerous opponent. Another rogue with an agenda is also thrown into the mix, and while this character takes the narrative focus away from the Straw Hats, it provides an emotional core and provides stakes for the characters.

Two things really hold this film back: -As it should be pointed out, is the antagonist is far too similar to the similarly defeated Crocodile from the main story, and thus the conclusion to the film could be far too much of an homage and feels come across as more of a repeat.

-The Straw Hats themselves, while engaged and active, have little to do by the film's conclusion. Though they are the helpful force to the film newcomer they personally really don't have any stakes themselves at risk.

At the harbor of Anabura, the Straw Hat Pirates were in need for more money after spending it on Luffy's meals. Luckily Nami over hears the bar tender's conversation with a customer on a secret spot, where money is involved. So they all went to see what the secret spot is after paying 2 Belli coins. And they all discover that the secret spot is a paradise for pirates everywhere. And a big race is being held called the Dead End Race. Where pirate ships race to the next island to win the money reward. That reward will end the Straw Hat Pirates' need for money. But little do they know is the whole race is a fix by an ex-military commander named Gasparde.

The thing I like about this one is, it's longer, and the story spends more time on the character development. Which is pretty good to include in a One Piece movie. That and this film actually does feel like a full length feature rather than an expanded TV episode or TV special.

The animation is well done. And I have to say I can't get tired of the CG town beginning. The secondary characters are cool, specially the bounty hunter, Shuraiya. The story also balances out the amount of action and unexpected parts pretty well. Which makes this 4th installment very enjoyable to watch time after time.

Unlike the previous non-chronicle movie. This one takes place sometime after the Alabasta Arc. Since Robin is now part of the crew, this marks as her first movie appearance.

This is a must for all One Piece fans.
