[shade0180]

One Piece Film Red was apparently bad

Really?

 

[Gordo]

Really?

Japanese fans didn’t like it

it was apparently a musical too

why they thought this was a good idea

 

[Astaro]

So they went with some Disney type shit for a One Piece film. Wow

Guess Toei just wanted to lose money on this.

 

[Nevermind]

A-Yeon is a treasure.

One Piece is their gravy train along with Dragon Ball. If this movie flops, someone at Toei is getting fired lol

This guy did not watch Guilty Crown

@Crimson Dragoon

 

[OtherGalaxy]

and i do not plan to

 

[Qinglong]

Granted I think Argevollen is worse but only because it's so unbelievably fucking boring I do not know why I wasted so much time watching a show where fucking nothing happens

 

[OtherGalaxy]

the seinfeld of mecha but not funny at all

will wait for more details, but i'm not surprised if it makes big bank even if it turns out to be trash, its one piece afterall and everyone will go expecting something at least decent

 

[Qinglong]

I'll shit on Fukuda's wild rides any day (all of them) but at least shit happened


And yeah even if the movie is sub par just on name alone I'd expect it to outperform almost any other recent anime film

 

[OtherGalaxy]

i could tell it was just gonna be a nothing movie hyped by Shanks first real appearance tbh

but it is what it is. Oda isn't the type to put anything that truly matters in something besides the manga itself, and I'm glad he handles it that way

 

[Qinglong]

Film Z and Film Gold also released either at number 1 or top 5 domestic grossing and I didn't even know that
