One Piece Filme 06: Barão Omatsuri e a Ilha Secreta

I hunted down this movie because it was the first feature-length film helmed entirely by Mamoru Hosoda, who went on to do Summer Wars and Wolf Children. I have not seen any of the other One Piece movies, although I did watch the first couple of seasons of the series before (loved it at first, but the formula gets old).

It's a cute, nutty movie with a theme of friendship and the usual One Piece over-the-top craziness. There are definitely Hosoda touches in the design, which looks just a little different from that of the series, but it is still very much along the lines of what I've seen before. It's not a movie that would make you expect the director would go on to brilliance, but it's not a movie that makes you think that would never happen, either.

Though there are some of the worst and best anime and animated films. One piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island, keeps you hooked till the end. The script is gripping and entertainingly humorous. The comedy scenes is ribtickingly funny and I had a good laugh this Thursday. Director Mamoru Hosoda should be applauded for choosing a film and keep us engaged and entertained till the end, along with the writer Masahiro Ito's hardwork should be appreciated for adapting the manga and providing us with clean comedy, terryfing and powerful climax. Masahiro Goto's editing and Tomokazu Shiratori's cinematography is the main highlight of the film, and the music, along with BGM are Kohei Tanaka are somewhat praiseworthy. The film is enjoyable with families and kids, and it is not a dark anime also.

One Piece: Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island is a superb enjoyable masala entertainer with good writing and engaging story with LOL comedy. If you want to enjoy One Piece movie other than 1000 episodes. Watch this movie and enjoy this swashbuckling fantasy masala entertainer.

It is a definite oddball film. It will subvert your expectations, which some people might not like. That said, it is wickedly chilling, and doesn't quite hit the creepy mark. You can also see a lot of Mamoru Hosoda's style seep through. I will say the animation itself looks almost incomplete at times, but it is charming and very fluid. Its great to see a progression in style as he would go on to make Summer Wars and Wolf Children.

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.

This movie in special gave me chills for the first time that I watched but, in general at his one piece movie has this factor that non of other one piece movies have, and it is the wow factor that correlates very well with the plot that they show during the film, and another aspect that is very well used in the film is the suspense that connects with the darkness of the film always from the beginning and the fact of the animation adds a lot to it in the way you see the story develop in the film because it adds much to how the character feels in certain situations such as happiness, sadness and despair.
