One Piece Film: Gold

Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat Crew have finally arrived on Gran Tesoro, a ship carrying the largest entertainment city in the world. Drawn in by the chances of hitting the jackpot, the crew immediately head to the casino. There, they quickly find themselves on a winning streak, playing with what seems to be endless luck.

When offered a special gamble by Gild Tesoro—the master of the city himself—the crew agrees, choosing to believe in their captain's luck. However, when they find themselves victims of a despicable scam, the crew quickly realize that there is something darker happening beneath the city's surface.

Left penniless and beaten down, the Straw Hat Crew are forced to rely on another gamble of a plan. With the help of a new friend or two, the group must work to reclaim what they've lost before time, and what remains of their luck, runs out.

First review (7/25/16). This movie is great and just miraculously outstanding. Eichiro Oda never fails to deliver beauty in art to his audience. The music is fantastic thanks to the music staff that put their soul into the making . The colors are just so sharp,crispy and delicious. The story is fantastic as always expected from the most popular mangaka of all time. 4 Dimensional Experience is legitimately the best experience. Watching this movie on the day of its release was like a dream come true. I am a pirate but these are better pirates if you get what I mean.

What to expect:

Luffy (Gear 4)

Roronoa ... Zoro (air swoosh)

Mixed Feelings

One Piece Film: Gold is the third modern One Piece movie and the second post timeskip. At this point the formula for a One Piece movie has been set in stone, and it is most efficient to evaluate the film based on how it meets expectations.

From an aesthetic perspective the movie is basically flawless. The animation is gorgeous, the character designs are on point, and every costume change the case goes through is exciting and memorable. The film-exclusive character is far more memorable than most of her predecessors as she is an old girlfri- I mean accomplice of Nami's from her cat burglar days, and ... their dynamic is simple but effective. Getting the One Piece cast to do a heist film is inherently interesting given how batshit insane the characters are, and the genre-standard twists are handled well. There is a particular sub-twist that makes perfect sense in universe that was both inspired and hilarious.

The movie isn't flawless character wise. Like most OP movies the characterization is slightly off. Nami, despite having ample screen time, never comments on the fact that the kids enslaved by the casino are basically in the same situation she was in for a decade. Luffy seems unusually apathetic when a crewmate is placed in danger in the first act. Nothing is egregious, but it is enough to take notice. As for most modern OP films some characters are included for no reason other than to have them in marketing material. Still have no idea what Sabo and Lucci were doing. The gambler character introduced serves no particular purpose and just drags down the movie in the middle.

The main villain is compelling ideologically, but never gets quite enough attention to make sense. His devil fruit is busted to the point it is completely unbelievable, and the main confrontation between him and Luffy suffers as a result. Cool idea, but not enough spice to make him memorable.

Its a good One Piece experience, but outside the outfits and nice cuts of animation provides nothing to remember it by.

Score: Strong 6 to a Light 7

Not Recommended

Story-
Generic and Bad.
characters-
Every new character is horrible, poorly fleshed out and annoying with awful motives.
Art/sound-
Art was to be expected of a high movie budget toei onepiece film, and the sound was passable aswell. It was jazzy and bombastic fitting for the casino setting.
Overall-
only gets up to a 2 because of one man of principal. Sgt Straight. The only reason i stuck with this movie to the bitter end. As a Fellow man of principal I cannot recommend this movie to anybody that enjoys quality anime. RIP.
"Turns are disgusting, just like the plot twists in this movie."-Sgt Straight
