I am disappointed that this movie doesn't have a higher rating because I think it's one of the best movies I've watched for Anime Month! The thing is, I'm not even a "One Piece" fan! I think I read the first volume or two of the manga and it didn't interest me that much, but this movie was wonderful! Granted, I saw a subtitled version so I probably just saw the best version that exists. Anyway, I remember when I first became familiar with this series. I was kind of turned off by the weird character designs. I mean, it just didn't seem like a traditional anime.
I was very glad to watch the anime in action and be amazed by how much fun it was. It's really easy to realize that the weird designs is what makes it so unique! I don't know that much about Luffy, but certainly got associated with him and his crew. I haven't read far into the manga or watched the show much to understand what's going on. Apparently, this was an adaptation of a story arc. It's easy for me to realize that the series is about pirates, so it was very interesting to see them on land in the desert of all places!
The fight scenes are very well done and the characters are very entertaining. There's tons of funny moments and throughout all the silliness, there really is a very strong story here. This tells about one of the crew members named Vivi going back to save her hometown. I really do love the ending, where they really do the courageous thing. At first, it looks like it's going to be the same with her rejoining the crew. Instead, they did something bold and had her stay behind and rule her kingdom! It's a very heartfelt moment and I'm so glad to know more about such a popular franchise. ****
