One Piece: Gyojin Tou-hen

Two years after the Summit War, Monkey D. Luffy plans to reunite with the Straw Hat Pirates in the Sabaody Archipelago. However, the Marines obstruct Luffy's path with overwhelming force. Meanwhile, the Straw Hats must also foil the schemes of a group of impersonators acting in their likenesses.

With two years of intensive training with allies old and new, Luffy regroups with his friends aboard the Thousand Sunny to set sail for the New World. As the Straw Hat Crew departs for Fish-Man Island, new threats creep up from the abyss. But more determined than ever to become the King of the Pirates, Luffy is prepared to defeat any enemy that may stand between him and his dream.

I'm aware and that my opinion is gonna be in the minority here but I don't think this deserves a level of hate it received

Sure they cut some stuff out and it 100% isn't perfect but I'd still say that all of the majorly important story stuff and all of the important actions scenes are here, It's still all mostly here just cropped a bit

You should definitely still rewatch the original over this but for a rewatch if you haven't seen the Fishman island arc, This is definitely for you

I'd rank this a solid 7/10 nothing groundbreaking, The animation is a bit nicer in my ... opinion though

Mixed Feelings

I seriously have no idea who this was made for. I feel like it was specifically made to cater to people who have already swore off on never watching One Piece because of how long it is. And yet, those people still can't watch this as their introduction to the series, since this arc takes place in the middle of the entire series which means you still gotta watch the first 516 episodes that came before it to understand what the heck is going on. And even still, the pacing is TOO fast now to where you can barely keep up with whats on screen. ... Some footage looks flat out sped up, character interactions and story beats sometimes don't make sense because of context that was trimmed out, which I'm guessing they just assumed the people who've already seen this arc in full would just fill in the gaps on their own. But then that begs the question, once again. WHO WAS THIS MADE FOR!? Yes, I know this was made to give both Oda and the anime team time to prep for the final saga (which I still can't believe is finally happening) and this was just a nice extra to tide us over so we weren't without something to watch for 21 weeks. And yes, the new animation is spectacular, especially in comparison to the original episodes. But every single other thing about this edited arc was a downgrade in every single way. One Piece is long for a reason. It takes the time it needs to tell it's story. You simply have to be ok with that. Trust the process and enjoy the journey, rather than trying to look for shortcuts in getting caught up just so you can be watching something you deem to be "relevant". Just watch One Piece. Just try. The only thing stopping you is your own excuses. I promise you that any attempt at cutting corners in the journey will only serve to sully your overall experience. Just take a chance in starting, and keep moving at a steady pace. You'll be so much more thankful that you did.

5/10

Preliminary (3/21 eps)

This was genuinely such a waste of time and resources I could not have been more disappointed. They had an opportunity to finally turn this "quantity > quality" anime into a "quantity > quality" anime that would compare to the likes of other shonen anime (ex: Jujutsu Kaisen, Bleach, Naruto) in terms of BASIC visual flow, exept they failed miserably and achieved neither.

The frame rates per second are as low as ever and they in fact seem even laggier than the original series. It looks like they applied a phone filter to make all the images "prettier" but all it did was make them look ... un-realistically warmer while the detail hasn't necessarily improved.

This show has so much potential if the animation could only reach the basic standard, but they've decided to go the milking route and deny that possibility even after announcing a "quality remake" making this otherwise good show impossible for me to watch.
