One Piece Movie 02: Nejimaki-jima no Daibouken

Rating: 7/10

One Piece: Clockwork Island Adventure takes us back to the golden days of the Straw Hat Pirates, which is a mix of fun, adventure, and nostalgia. While not without its flaws, this movie offers an enjoyable escape into the world of One Piece.

Strengths:

Nostalgia: Clockwork Island Adventure captures the essence of the early One Piece episodes when the crew had more time for leisurely exploration and goofing around. For long-time fans, this nostalgic trip down memory lane is a major selling point.

Lightheartedness: Unlike some of the more intense arcs in the series, this movie opts for a ... lighter tone. The emphasis on fun and humor allows viewers to see the Straw Hats in a carefree light, which is a refreshing change of pace.

Character Dynamics: Clockwork Island Adventure shines in its portrayal of the unique dynamics between the crew members. It reminds us of the quirky personalities that make each character so endearing.

Weaknesses:

Predictable Plot: Clockwork Island Adventure follows a relatively straightforward plotline that lacks the complexity and depth of the longer arcs in the series. While simplicity isn't always a bad thing, it might leave some viewers expecting more.

Underdeveloped Antagonists: The movie introduces new villains, the Trump Pirates, who, unfortunately, come across as somewhat one-dimensional. They lack the depth and charisma of some of One Piece's more memorable antagonists.

Short Runtime: Clockwork Island Adventure's brevity prevents it from fully exploring its potential. With a longer runtime, it could have delved deeper into character interactions and storytelling.

In conclusion, One Piece: Clockwork Island Adventure is a nicel return to the carefree days of the Straw Hat Pirates. While it may not be the most complex or compelling One Piece story, it offers a lighthearted and enjoyable experience, particularly for fans seeking a dose of nostalgia. With its 7/10 rating, it's a solid addition to the One Piece movie collection, especially for those who fondly remember the crew's earlier adventures.

This is a stupid review.

First because i never watched even one episode of One Piece, i just wanted to understand more or less what is One Piece without taking much spoilers.

The story: was very basic but in my opinion for a movie was pretty good.

Art: God damm i love this art style and the way they animate the funny faces, is with so much love and in such an artistic way. I am trully impressed with OP art.

Sound: to be honest nothing memorable...

Characteres: all the crew was very funny but in this movie the characters that i liked the most ware the "bros" such a ... good emotional connection this movie had the capability of creating in only 50 minutes. Epic

Enjoyment: Sometimes i got kinda bored, other times i got hyped. It was good but far from a movie that makes me wanna re-watch it.

Overall: 6/10

People saying this shit's underrated. That it's better than the first movie. I don't know what they're talking about. That was bad. Really bad.

I don't even wanna review it.

I'm glad the skunk died. And that the kid got shot. Twice.

Apparently my review was too short. How about now?

Maybe now.

... Jesus let me please post my review you can't just silence me like this.

Also here's my friend's review: "well, luffy was in it. and I love luffy. I am also glad the kid got shot. I wish that sanji died. Love you xxx"

Wow still not enough.

Okay for real though, the colors were mostly drab, the advertised new outfits got switched for new ones in like 5 minutes, the antagonist was a boring idiot who got beat by "gotta get angry mode luffy". There was no tension, the temporary friends weren't interesting and the stuff that was almost good about them was rushed and poorly expanded on. The antagonists minions all sucked. So much. They were all tropes. The vampire dude was kinda fun looking, but his joke got old real fucking quick.

Music was aight.
