One Piece Movie 6: Omatsuri Danshaku to Himitsu no Shima Review


Story (7/10)
More Specifically (7.5/10)

The story for the 6th movie of One Piece is definitely different as the first half is probably the most light hearted environment you'll see in any of the One Piece movies and the second half is probably one of the IF NOT THE darkest environment/setting you'll see in all of One Piece (Anime/Manga/Movie). It's different which is interesting the first half was enjoying for a while and right around the time where you would start to feel this is getting old that's when it switches on you and shows you that this isn't what you think it is. I thought the story was good and nice change of things once and a while isn't a bad thing and I think this movie did it well.


Art and Animation (7/10)
More Specifically (7.5/10)

Now going into the movie you can tell that the art and animation is different, just like this movie's plot setting and twist it takes a different twist to this and brings in key animators Hiroyuki Imaishi and You Yoshinari which are known for there Kill La Kill, FLCL and Gurren Laggan Gainax art style and animation to the table. It's interesting to see how One Piece characters fit with their art style and animation slapped onto it. I'm not a huge fan of how their stuff looks and moves but I do appreciate it because it's definitely not bad I just don't think it's amazing. Not a huge fan of the semi-boney look that character have to their body structure which comes along with their art style on most characters but that's just an opinionated statement obviously. Like I said it isn't bad I'm just not a fan and I do think it's cool that they were allowed to influence this one because like I said earlier about this movie's story and plot setting it brings something different to the table so this on top of that assist that.


Sound (8/10)

The BGM I thought fit a lot of scenes in this movie during both it's light hearted and creepy parts of the movie I thought it fit well, actually more than well and the outro music was quite good also.


Characters (7/10)
More Specifically (7.5/10)

The Straw Hat crew in the start of the movie are all active and doing their thing which is what I like to see it's not really focusing on the movie MC that much but enough to know what he and his children where about and keeping them semi-relevant through out the movie without making them feel like they were wasting screen time which I thought were major issues in previous One Piece movies. Even though in the second half of the movie (the creepy side) all of the straw hat crew hit the backburner the movie MC stayed relevant helping Luffy make a comeback twice and wrapping up the movie quite well so I wasn't blown away but I am indeed pleased.


Enjoyment (7/10)

I enjoyed the first quarter of the movie, I felt a little bored during the second quarter because I felt the light hearted stuff got old a little quick there's only so much goofy scenes I can endure before I get bored (especially in movie format). The second half of the movie saved the movie for me bringing an atmosphere we've never seen before to One Piece and I was fairly interesting and paying full attention during the second half, like I said before nothing mind blowing but I am indeed satisfied for bring something somewhat unique to the table for this movie.


Overall (7/10)
More Specifically (7.50/10)

The 6th movie brought it back because I was getting tired of seeing semi-boring One Piece movies this one was somewhat of a treat.
