A Study of One Piece Animation

[Unbreakable]

So you want it with even worse art?

+1 .

[Sonic Youth]

You guys... Think outside the box.

[Thousand Lion-chan]

You guys... Think outside the box.

Art that looks like cat vomit is unique. It doesn't make it good.

[Crossword]

Man, my finger's feeling a little twitchy today.

@Crossword, my best bet would be Oars, shanks and Rayleigh's cuts.

Hm, is that so? I guess I can see it if that is the case.

Ewwwww, cat vomit.

C'mon guys, can't we all get along and be nice to newcomers to this thread? Yes, we all know about the art style of movie 6, but that's how Mamoru Hosoda rolls, and don't forget that Sushio helped with the character designs. People will either hate it or love movie 6 art, so let's not get into an argument about it. Otherwise:


How's that for art? 8D

Anyways, as XMURADX suggested, art director from Movie 10 + key animators from Movie 6 = an awesome movie. Man, I wish Mamoru Hosoda would direct another OP movie.

Man, my finger's feeling a little twitchy today.

I'll slip and pretend it was accident I'll never fix.

You guys... Think outside the box.

Never feed cave troll. Let it starve.

Unless you are going along with it just to see its reaction upon feeding, then go ahead. I find it amusing too.

[SingingThroughTheStorm]

Hiroy, I had to post because I saw your signature.
Even with a burned torso, he still has such power!

I haven't seen any of the movies yet. Do I have to torrent them?
Since FUni only did Alabasta.

On a side note: Summer Wars is an awesome movie. Think Ghibli meets Digimon: Our War Game (where the plot was pretty much taken from). I saw it on Blu-ray over the weekend and you guys need to see this movie!

For those who were wondering about Tomita, he just worked on the latest Digimon Xros Wars ep 27.

During the WB war, he worked on 11, 12, 14, 19, 20, and 25.

What are those numbers?

[Sonic Youth]

I think it's episode-numbers, or something. :confused:


Anyway, sorry for those trolls, but with a combined effort of Oda and the animators from movie Six, One Piece could be fricking hardcore as a movie.

[KaizokuOLuffy]

What are those numbers?

Digimon Xros Wars episode numbers?

[DyranLK]

I love both movies, but honestly if there was any movie that came eerily close to capturing the "spirit" on the manga Movie 10 wins hands down.

O-chan

Agreed. Movie 10's animation was the closest I've ever seen Toei get to reaching Oda's unique, intricately simplistic art style.

If only the entire anime was drawn like the sixth movie I'd die happy.

You see, the issue with that is that the art style of Movie 6, while beautifully animated, is extremely controversial and split a majority of the One Piece anime fanbase into two individual groups: those who liked it, and those who didn't like it. If Toei even had the budget to start animating One Piece in a Movie-6-style fashion, it would definitely start up a riot.

Then again, I'm pretty sure several [to most] of the people included in the group of fans who didn't like the animation would get used to it over a fair amount of time, and will continue to watch the series with no problems. However, several more will probably quit on the anime and just resort to the manga once and for all...

Of course, the likeliness of this even happening is near impossible, because if Toei ever had a budget as high as it would cost to supply us with that kind of animation, I'm certain pigs would start flying and the sun will finally blow up and destroy the earth.

Oh man. Summer Wars was unbelievable, animation-wise. Definitely a movie worth watching, and admiring, all the way through.

lol, for me, when I first saw the animation style, I really liked it! Then, it became less and less interesting... When the image started to distort, it looks like I was watching some scribbles... That was when I try to watch many times though...

I think they have the budget, they just won't use it on One Piece when it's this popular... When One Piece have an uninteresting arc or slope a bit downhill for plot progression, maybe they will give a big budget for it... ( I'm thinking of the flashback)

Oh man. Summer Wars was unbelievable, animation-wise. Definitely a movie worth watching, and admiring, all the way through.

So, it's not strong, plot-wise?
Only watch it from Murad's video and it's definitely have great animation!

[SingingThroughTheStorm]

I don't really have a issue with the current style, if they good just keep it consistent.
Make it look as good as this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JEwSMXnRw18

Look at SenGoku, he doesn't have some special affect, or crazy good shading. But
I think I would prefer the anime to stick to that style and consistency.

[XMURADX]

Summer Wars was pretty awesome, it really was fun, emotional, exciting and had pretty awesome animation. Directing was awesome as expected from Hosada, and the OST was really great.

What are those numbers?

Digimon Xros Wars episode numbers.

The only issue I have with the movie is that it took waaaay too many of the key plot elements from Digimon:The Movie/Our War Game which he also helmed. It doesn't matter if you watch the English or Japanese version of this movie (I refer to Digimon) but if you watch it right before watching Summer Wars you feel like the latter is a more epic version of the previous movie.

Well, it was not an issue for me. Since I didn't watch Digimon.

[RobbyBevard]

I love the art style of movie 6, and its my favorite one of the lot as a result.

[Ashura_KingFisher]

If only the entire anime was drawn like the sixth movie I'd die happy.

seconded.

I mean, the tenth movie has the coolest style out of all but somehow only the sixth movie/Tate's style which can really draw out the 'real' emotion of One Piece for me.

[Kaizoku]

Who are the Animation Directors of the Movies?
