Finally, Though I agree that canons are money grabbers, this movie might shed light on how shanks formed the red hair Pirates, it might also introduce us to their power levels. This itself is something to really look forward to. I don't know why, but when I saw the poster something clicked and the first thought that came to my mind was that: "Wait... Luffy... has a mom right?"

A Shanks movie?!

I hope so!

I wonder if that girl's wings are real or not. If they are real that means she is a Shandian or a Skypiean. And it would be even more interesting if the movie takes place in a sky island. I would like to see a movie not related to strawhats but it is near impossible not to feature Luffy and the others in a One Piece movie. But at least for now I am free to imagine a movie that takes place in a sky island with Shanks and the Red Haired Pirates as the main cast.

Good news, i was already waiting for a new movie after stampede.

Kind of wonder what is this about. Girl?music? Shanks? Teaser looks dope even though it didnt give out much.

Last movie stampede was not as good as previous 3 movies. Even though animation was top notch. This news apparently excludes stampede and calls other 3 as "films" instead of movies. I didnt notice that before. That mean something?

I am not sure what to expect from this. But regardless I am excited.

the movie is clearly about shanks. maybe his journey to meet that world government?

Interesting that Toei hired Goro Taniguchi for this movie since he was the one who directed the Jump Festa special under Production IG way before Toei ever picked up the rights.

This really felt like a direct callback, given that the movie is a commemoration special for the 1000th episode just as much as how the Ganzack special was intended as a pilot for the One Piece anime. I'm interested in how will this turn out, given that the Ganzack special was too expressive and weighted under Taniguchi's direction.

The only thing Toe Animation do properly is to serve top-tier 'sakuga' for their movies. I'm talking a level about 'Stampede' and 'Broly'.

The director for this one's awesome btw. Will it be a canon movie? Don't know. Canon anime movies are absolute money-grabbers.

Jeez, when was the last time I had seen Shanks? Feels like decades ago.

I read somewhere that this movie might hint at future events in the manga that involve Shanks and his crew. It could be a good way to foreshadow, making this movie somewhat canon. Only time will tell.

Looking forward to the movie specially since the last few have been so good as @_MushiRock11_ already mentioned.

WOOOH excited for the movie can't wait to see some more shank shank

From the title RED and those three scars on it this is clearly meaning THE RED-HAIRED SHANKS .
Damn imagine getting a film about him ?
let's just hope so

Expected a movie. Getting a movie. And now, I'm excited for the movie.

The last few films have been a treat to keep up with, especially Stampede, so I'm looking forward to seeing what this will have in store for us! Taniguchi Gorou-kantaku and Shanks in the teaser is more than enough to get me psyched.

Congratulations One Piece!

Sounds great, wonder what it will be about, can't tell much from just that visual or teaser.
