One Piece 3D2Y: Overcoming Ace's Death! Luffy's Pledge to His Friends · review
The recent OP episodes have been quite dull: bad animation, annoying sound and excruciatingly boring. I did not have high expectations for this special but still I looked forward to it. This special explains why I used to have high regards for OP. I was just amazing! Story: The story was gripping, and just awesome.It has everything everyone loves about OP: action, comedy a bad-ass villain and a light touch of fan service. Most of the time long-time airing anime when making a movie or special do not give much regards to the story, but that was not the case for 3D2Y. I didnot find any plot holes and the ending gave you a feeling of satisfaction. And that is why I gave it a 9.
Art and Sound:
The animation was not outstanding, but it was quite impressive. For the first time for OP, I actually enjoyed the art, so I gave it a 7.
However, the same cannot be said for the sound. Though it was not as repetitive and irritating as the anime, it was as at some place. But it was bearable, so it gets a 6.
Character:
Most of the characters were same as those of the original anime- except the antagonists.World, the villain for the special was cool,extremely strong and somewhat lovable. I felt that what ever obstacles and bad guys Luffy and his friends faced, they were somewhat helping him in his training. I give it an 8.
Enjoyment:
I enjoyed it very much, nothing more can be said, I'm giving it a 9.
Overall:
This special was nearly a masterpiece for me, so it's a big, solid 9.
