This episode is a love letter to all One Piece fans made by a One Piece fan. The way every important moment meshes perfectly into the flow of the story of the girl, how the animation is so beautiful, the soundtrack, the cameos of the characters... I can't seem to find the words to better describe the absolute bliss I felt watching this. As someone who religiously follows the manga and is extremely disappointed with the way the anime has been evolving (thank *** for the hiatus now) this was so similar to the way One Piece used to make me feel that I couldn't help but get emotional watching it. I can only thank everyone involved in the making of this work of art and recommend it to every soul I know.

Absolute masterpiece. The direction, animation, story and how it was presented was absolutely gorgeous. It has all the element that a fan from this fandom would have like the powerscaling, banter, being toxic lmao. but also some admiration, respect, love for the characters we have enjoyed and followed for a long time. It feels real. Also gives us the insight into what a normal person in One Piece world would feel like. All in all, its truly a fan letter not just to One Piece but also the fans of the series

It was a great special episode. My only complaint is that the girl didn't get to see Nami up close, and tell her in person how much she means to her. And now comes the Sabaody remaster, while we wait for the hiatus to end.

Spanish translation:
Fue un gran episodio especial. Mi única queja es que la niña no pudo ver a Nami de cerca, y decirle en persona lo mucho que significa para ella. Y ahora viene el remaster de Sabaody, mientras esperamos que termine el hiatus. One Piece está con todo.

the real animation fanservice The story relates to One Piece fans when they want to meet their idols, talk about them, and see who is the strongest among their idol pirates.

For a non-Japanese speaker, I needed the Sharingan for this episode, everything was so fast and well written, could have been made into a movie. Overall, great episode.

Not even close of being a fan of One Piece, but it was absolutely worth watching. Massive sakuga meets with a strong script/directing.

MASTERPIECE. This One Piece spin-off is just absolutely amazing! One Piece has made me cry so many times, even though it's "just" a pirate adventure anime. Now I truly get the intensity of "Marineford"—it's that wild, that terrifying, that chaotic. So many casualties everywhere, but because they weren’t the main focus, they were overlooked. Why? Because they’re just NPCs. And beyond that, they’re fans, just like us, which makes it so easy to relate.

It’s like that bar scene with people drinking and arguing over the strongest swordsman—that’s us, too! Haha! For anyone who watches One Piece, this is a must-watch.

Huge thanks to Oda and Megumi Ishitani (director of One Piece Fan Letter) for living and gifting us this beauty.

As someone who has been watching One Piece since the 2000's and whose favourite film was Baron Omatsuri and the Secret Island this was everything that made me love One Piece. The fluidity and style of the animation, the character designs, the memories and the light fun (and moments of dark) feel of early One Piece. Everything was perfect. 10/10 for sure.
Thank you.

It was alright. Not a fan of the too cartoonesque animation. At least we have the confirmation that if One Piece has separate entries, Wano would be rated +9.5.

This is what I've always wanted. This is the level of peak quality I wished for the One Piece I love so much.
I could really feel the passion pouring from this episode and out of the screen.
As a One Piece fan I'm happy. :,D

Oh godness Ranked #2 right now this is unexpected. A normal ova if you ask me.

I like to post in manga forum when I feel it is worth it, so people will think. "Shit, is her again" or something.

People asked me where I read certain thing but the rules say no telling where did you read so maybe I am too boring for not saying? Or salty because you didn't check my profile that says don't ask because I hate people to ghost me after that. I love learning languages so maybe I did not read the manga in English.
