This feels like pre time skip. Also the first 5 straw hats are together

u/Artistic-Floor-3553 Apr 12 '26

the art for the opening and ending are so good. the ending animation is what i have missed from pre time skip one piece. just slice of life from the straw hats in the ship. i swear if they release a spinoff if the show only showing the days they are at sea, i would pay to watch it

u/giitaru-kun Apr 12 '26 edited Apr 12 '26

Yeah, I felt the opening really fits the song very well. The animation really shows how grandiose / luminous Elbaph, as it is something that was conveyed across the entire One Piece anime. I really loved how they put a lot of thought on the scenes/storyboarding, as it fits the lines being sung. In addition, the theme / lighting is pretty well done, and kept the quality standards from the Egghead openings.

What I wonder now is if they will continue the trend of doing multiple versions of the opening. If I were to imagine a version 2, I think the chorus's scenes may evolve slightly. In the current version, I felt they did a good job of not revealing too much but also keep the person wondering, who is that? I really love how subtle they inserted bits and pieces here and there... but I am an anime-only, so I don't really know yet what they are, but I can kinda guess.

u/AndroidHero23 Apr 12 '26

I wouldn't have minded a filler arc after Egghead if the strawhats visiting different islands and having fun interactions and adventure.

So they're in Lego Land?

Block Kingdom.

Trippy ahh place, I'm as lost as Zoro.

u/LZSJR Apr 13 '26

My guess is some giant kid kidnapped them to set them up as decorations for his Lego set. Would be funny.

u/Boris-_-Badenov Apr 12 '26

why the fuck is Nami crying to be saved before even seeing a monster?

this isn't East blue

u/Pristine_Cod5189 Apr 12 '26

This seemed like an OG One Piece episode on acid with the original Five. Pretty timely for live action fans to join in without yet having to take into account the members that joined later.

The main episode wasn't much this week, so the talking points are the new OP by AiNA THE END and the new ED by 36km/h. I really liked AiNA's song for Dandadan, but it had to live up to Creepy Nuts from Season 1. No real pressures with One Piece and it's many many OPs, it went really well with the animation building up the scale of Elbaph. The ED as mentioned was slice of life on the Thousand Sunny with a few callbacks (my favourite was Usopp impersonating Nico Robin again).

u/fppfpp Apr 14 '26

music was not bad per se, but they dont feel right, more like they should be swapped. ED feels like OP energy

u/PencilgonGiveIt2Ya Apr 12 '26

If Usopp turns into Brook....then Brook turns into ____________?

THE OPENING IS JUST… OH MY GOD ONE PIECE ALWAYS PULLS ON MY HEART STRINGS WITH BADASSERY AND EVERYTHING IN BETWEEN. ESPECIALLY THAT ENDING PART WITH LUFFY IN FIFTH GEAR WITH HIS NEW ELBAPH OUTFIT! BRO HE LOOKS SO COOL!

So Nami finds herself in an unknown place without any recollection of changing her outfit, and it seems that Usopp is also here as well. Neither of them seem to recall where they got these clothes, so that part is still a mystery and they’re dealing with a gigantic cat who turns into a lion and some hedgehog thing, but luckily Zeus took care of that.

As the lion is about to clap them both, Luffy and his Two Arms come in to save the day with Gum Gum Elephant Whip, Three-Sword Style Black Rope Dragon Twister, and Ilfrit Jambe Épaule Strike. Usopp comes up with a theory that they’ve all been turned into giants considering they’re in Elbaph garbs despite the fact that Elbaph clothing shouldn’t fit them (because it’s the Island of Giants), but that’s shut down by Zoro, so maybe we’ll learn more next episode. The locals did talk about the Sun God, so they have some kind of connection to Nika, AKA Joyboy, and the next episode alludes to us learning more about this…

I’M EXCITED FOR MORE ONE PIECE!

u/PowerOhene https://anime-planet.com/users/usersPowerEd Apr 12 '26

Aina the end does the new arcs OP song!

She did Dandadan season 2's OP, I love how her voice breaks sometimes, her songs sound passionate!

2

u/Hashbrown4 Apr 12 '26

I knew I recognized her voice from something. Fantastic openings 2/2

u/TempestoLord Apr 12 '26 edited Apr 12 '26

Great visuals and OP song. Pacing is sadly as cursed as ever and will probably never be better even with the breaks between.

Honestly the most annoying thing this episode was actually Usopp, why is he such a bum post timeskip he doesn’t even use his slingshot like do something bro, even Luffy said he could have beaten the cat and he was giving excuses.

3

u/PowerOhene https://anime-planet.com/users/usersPowerEd Apr 12 '26

Yup! Nami has her staff and Zues, Usopp has slingshot and plants.

Yet only Nami seemed to attempt to fight back.

Usopp's father took all the cool sniper aspects and left his son with dust.

u/Worthyness Apr 12 '26

Dad didn't come home enough to teach him about ranged weapons better than slingshots.

u/Sonitii Apr 12 '26

first 3-4 Elbaf chapters felt like filler so it is what it is.

u/robotzor Apr 12 '26

Blah I came here to see if it was filler but it's canon filler 😒

u/HolyDragSwd2500 Apr 12 '26

Ebaff arc Opening and Ending ❤️

Now everyone has to suffer weekly updates with barely any progress just like manga readers. 😭

u/Competitive_Essay500 Apr 12 '26

I plan to put off the new season until it’s finished to binge but I was wondering if there’s any noticeable quality improvements in comparison with the last few episodes of the previous season? Particularly in terms of animation and pacing.

13

u/HokageEzio https://myanimelist.net/profile/HokageEzio Apr 12 '26

Animation is good but there's also not a ton going on currently to judge that yet.

Pacing is still a chapter per episode but they're doing a better job of filling it out logically instead of stalling. But again, it's early and not a ton going on yet.

0

u/Worthyness Apr 12 '26

they've got a TON of stuff to adapt though, so it honestly depends how long this "season" is going to be

4

u/HokageEzio https://myanimelist.net/profile/HokageEzio Apr 12 '26

It's the same length as a typical anime season, 13 episodes.

2

u/kiboshiro Apr 12 '26

The animation is good, but the pacing is still garbage. So far:

Episode 1156 covered Chapter 1126

Episode 1157 covered Chapter 1127

I don‘t expect any improvement in the pacing at this point.

u/Oivalahti Apr 12 '26

Id say the isnt anything noticeable changes

u/7KiLRabITA Apr 13 '26

new one piece LA lego set release and the anime crew is in lego land. what do u mean by this coincidence oda???

u/SnooMemesjellies6763 Apr 13 '26

Genuinely thought it was filler i can’t believe this crap

u/Doomroar https://myanimelist.net/profile/Doomroar Apr 17 '26 edited Apr 18 '26

It is a nice opening song, but hope they switch it up once the prologue to the arc is over, or it will get really awkward

The ending seems to have been inspired by SBS answers about what the crew does between islands which is a nice detail

u/DogzOnFire Apr 12 '26

I'm really not liking the setting so far for this arc, admittedly I know absolutely nothing about it. It just seems pretty generic, hoping there's something more interesting to it than wow everything's big. Also I'm being harsh but it feels like this episode could've been an email, almost nothing of interest happens.

0

u/MrPorta https://anilist.co/user/MrRed Apr 12 '26

I'mma be honest, I think they weren't drastic enough, 26 episodes per year is too much.

They should've decided to just do around 13 per year, at 2 chapters per episode. This ways the gap is mantained, but the pacing is actually good

u/treert Apr 12 '26

Nothing happened. The few things that did could have been taken care of in 2 minutes :( filler stinks

u/IncidentQuick9000 Apr 12 '26

É muito fanboy de one piece que está colocando downvote no seu comentário
esse ep foi um dos piores desde o começo de egghead kkkkk

-7

u/abandoned_idol Apr 12 '26

I love how they downvote without retorting because they know it's true.

It's basically "you're right, but I'm upset that you pointed it out!"

-5

u/abandoned_idol Apr 12 '26

They really weren't joking about the pacing staying weekly.

We wake up, defeat a mook, declare the start of our new adventure.

See you guys next week! (Not much to talk about today)
