One piece: Omatsuri danshaku to himitsu no shima

I really struggle to categorize and review this film. It's a very specific, and intense film from start to finish, clearly a well crafted and directed work.

The issue I have is that, to me, it doesn't come across as "One Piece" story (itself a shonen style story). It's a terrifying and gripping narrative, where the Straw Hat crew are the players, detectives, and ultimately victims to the antagonist's machinations, which makes for an interesting experience. However the stakes and the imagery used to reveal what's occurring are perhaps to intense. The 3rd party characters also own large chunks of narrative, which in turn also reduce the Straw Hats down to nothing more than being "at risk" to drive Luffy into the protagonist role.

The sixth One Piece film, Baron Omatsuri, and the Secret Island, deviates significantly from the television series in terms of animation, sound design, and character development. I must say this now: if you enjoy One Piece for its combat, go somewhere else. This movie focuses on enhancing the crew's emotional ties, which are highlighted in key storylines, and emphasizes how vital nakamas are to every one of them.

The Mugiwara pirates discover a letter in a bottle promoting Omatsuri Island (Festival Island), a pirate haven, while they are traveling the Grand Line. However, the crew is set up for experiences akin to the Skypiea arc, which are all based on Japanese festival games (goldfish capturing, etc.), when they arrive at the island ready to unwind. While the other members of the crew begin to gradually disintegrate, Luffy, who is always upbeat, is content to play the games. This movie is far more enigmatic and, at times, even disturbing than the television series-especially toward the end when things get desperate. To avoid giving anything away, I'll end the story there.

The StrawHat Pirates were invited to a Resort Island, owned by Baron Omatsuri. It was a great opportunity for everyone to take a brake from traveling the Grand Line. After a big welcoming from the locals. Our heroes found out that in order to have their relaxation on this island. They must pass a few contests offered by the locals. The whole island has a mystery to it. As Luffy encounters a mysterious man, Chopper encounters a family, & Robin who noticed that there aren't an flowers populated on the island.

This movie's theme separates itself from the other One Piece titles. As the story to it is more grim like. And the animation gives the characters a new style. There are a lot of good scenes in this flick. Including violence, comedy, and suspense. Most of the characters in this movie a unusual. It may not look too much like the TV series. But it's still One Piece.

This is the best one piece movie i've watched, i absolutely love the art direction and the character designs, they dont stray too far from the series and in my opinion actually improve them, the movie starts out as every other one piece adventure, the straw hats make jokes and play around but around 50 minutes in the movie starts to take a turn to a much darker plot, sometimes even kinda scary, the story is not the most innovative one but it is still great 9/10

One piece: baron omatsuri and the secret island Is what happens when you go off script and give a talented director the ability to tell the story he's want, with the characters We enjoy. It is amazing.

From the first minute you know something is different, the animation and character style is something distinct from the usual one piece we know, but it works well with what the story is trying to tell, and I would even say that the story would not work as well, If it was the usual character design we see in the TV show.

The movie feels like a dream, in the Beginning it is full of smiles and laughs and happy moments, but the longer it go on, the more Small Things begin to crumple and you realize that this is not a dream, This is a nightmare that is happening.

The movie test the straw hat pirates in way I have not seen before, and pushing Luffy to the limit of what we usually see. Has a different atmosphere and just all around Aura. And the new characters that are introduced are really compelling.

The backgrounds and colors used are just amazing, the dark contrast and the lighting on the characters and world. It's just one of the best looking one piece movies.

There's so much I want to talk about in detail, but that would make this a spoiler review and I would just recommend that you watch this amazing One Piece movie.
