“Due to falling in love with the Netflix One Piece live-action, in less than two weeks I have re-watched the live-action several times and restarted the anime from the beginning, currently on episode 100. Still waiting on my Malaysian copy of the complete OP movies and OVAs. Until then, I got far enough in the anime that I could watch this movie.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIf youu0026#39;ve watched the entire live-action series or seen the anime past the Arlong Park arc, this movie is a quick recap of the origins of our original five Straw Hat Pirates. Produced to celebrate 20 years of the manga, itu0026#39;s nice to see updated animation of the series opening. While itu0026#39;s mostly an upgrade, there are backgrounds that have a bit of a rudimentary style at times that feels lazy or generic. Not a bad thing, but I can also spot moments that the live-action drew upon specifically from this version. (The infamous Nami Straw Hat scene wasnu0026#39;t executed as well here as anime or live-action.)u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eThe dub voice actors sound largely the same to what Iu0026#39;m used to in pre-season 5 anime, albeit a little older. Usopp, may be different as he sounds more African American here.u003cbr/u003eu003cbr/u003eIt was one, but Iu0026#39;m very much looking forward to the more famous OP movies!”
