One Piece Film Z

If something is popular enough, you'll inevitably find a movie version or spin off of it. More often than not, it's because some executive is trying to make a quick buck by using the name value to bring people in to see whatever movie they're selling. While every now and then you'll find a diamond in the rough or a true gem, most of the time the movies feel forced, rushed, or unfaithful to the original material and the quality tends to suffer as a consequence. If a manga is popular enough, you can almost be sure there'll be an animated or live action movie of it. Or two. Or three…

So I went to the theater with a pretty skeptical mind; I'd been somewhat burned with the one of previous movies, One Piece Film: Strong World. I was skeptical, but at the same time, I hoped that the movie would be good. Something that was, at the very least, not a pile of dung. What I got was something I totally was not expecting.

Overall, One Piece Film: Z was immensely satisfying. It wasn't a prefect movie, but as Shonen Jump anime films go, it was the best one I've ever seen. While most other movies have a tendency to buckle under the limitations of being a stand-alone movie, (i.e. they have to end exactly how they started) Z seemed to make the most such limitations and genuinely feels like it is part of the main series. Full size Personally, I feel what they had was good enough that they could have taken what was a single dense stand-alone movie and made it into a two- part masterpiece to further develop other characters and satisfying tie everything up. Personal ideas aside, the movie is definitely well worth seeing for any fan of the series.

I saw One Piece anime for the first time. The voice of the character was different from what I had imagined in the manga, but it was so fun.

I love One Piece so much.

This is truly a great movie. Felt sorry for Z. The straw hats kicked some major ass hell yeah. This had better be in the Japanese Oscar award and win the title of 'best animated Japanese film'. The story and plot are awesome. The action is mind blowing. Overall a masterpiece. Perfection simply perfect. This I heard became the most popular movie with a lot of tickets sold so go to the theater and watch it the experience is even better. I can go on about this for hours. The characters shine- all of the strawhats- luffy, usopp, nami, franky, brook, chopper, sanji, zoro and robin. Not to mention this is the first after-timeskip movie! And of course kizaru and aokiji appear as well we get to see the navy vice-admirals.

One piece movie Z is an extremely well-made movie despite that it doesn't contribute to the original story. We follow Zito the ex-marine admiral trying to destroy the new world taking as an excuse that you can't stop pirates the traditional way, so let's blow them all even if that means killing the innocents too. But of course, there is people who try to stop him, first the marine second, the straw hats pirates who got caught up accidentally with him. All that said it does look like there isn't much story in here but let me remind you that this is an action anime movie, so 70 % of its quality is judged on the action, and on that regard the action was great, there is some weird CGI scenes but overall, its great. So, what about the other 30%. Well, the story isn't that great like I mentioned before, but the execution was phenomenal. The character build up of zito is amazing, it brang a special flavour to one piece cause we haven't seen much characters who aren't either bad or good in the one piece anime. And there was a very good comedy too like we used to in one piece.

As a conclusion, great one piece side story movie that I really enjoyed.

One Piece film Z is quite a treasure of amazingness. It was like we found the One Piece treasure right here, and it was this amazing film. I mean seriously while I wish it didn't have soo much action, and that the final fight between Z and Luffy had more to it the film still won with its overall heart and still outclassed One Piece: Strong World in every regard. I fell in love with the great admiral Z and his back story. The whole thing was quite interesting in my opinion. I did love the whole thing and found the film to be wonderful and magical in every which was possible and I wish I could have seen more of it, but sadly the film was short and finished quite quickly, and I can't help, but wish it was longer in more ways than one.
