| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- So what did everyone think about the movie? I still don't understand why they chose to recap what occurred during the Alabasta Arc. If the arc took 40+ episodes to tell the whole story, I never understood how they would be able to successfully recap the whole thing in a movie. After seeing it, they simply just concentrated on the main battles and the main theme and left very important information (like Ace showing up) out of the movie, which I really didn't like. But I guess it does serves its purpose to people who don't want to spend the time to watch unbelievable anime and are simply interested in seeing what happens. |
| I disliked the movie. Taking out most of the best part in the anime >.< *sniff i was sad when they skipped the USSOP's hammer =( also MISU MISU LUFFY >.<, i can't believe they took him out =(. Most of the funny comments were taken out =(, it didn't feel like one piece without jokes. I was disappointed. I thought this movie would have been better but I guess I was wrong. |

| No Mizu Mizu Luffy?!??!? shame |
| The only excellent parts in the movie were the Luffy vs Crocodile fight, the few brief interactions between the Strawhats, the very ending, and the song that played during the credits. Luffy vs. Crocodile was an excellent fight scene, I loved the animation. They didn't leave too much out of that final fight. The other fights...WHOA. Way too condensed. Each fight was only what, five minutes long? I miss the real Alabasta arc. The ending was really pretty, but it, too seemed rushed. The whole movie just didn't have the same impact as the anime or the manga. And Bon Clay-sama didn't get to redeem himself at the end. Sad. I did like how Robin was included in the ending, though, with her staring at Luffy's flag. |

| The movie was horrible. |
| Not a very good movie. Too much stuff was cut out, it wasn't funny, the art and animation was average. And too be honest I don't even like this arc. |
 |
| it was a movie, they all sucks, just like fillers (oh i like alabaster arc at least the end (the crew fight are boring as hell even on the anime) good thing i didn't need to eat 2 hours of usop fighting like a retard oh well i was running out of things to watch so i watched it to kill time |

| A good movie if you've seen the Arabasta arc. It's a very resumed and fast-paced retelling of that great arc with some minor changes. It's nostalgic, and if you've seen all the other moments in the TV series you will feel you are watching the best parts of the story. However the arc in the series is better than the movie of course. |
 |
| Awful Movie...I've never seen the Arabasta Arc (Only at Ep.26),But i must say this isn't a movie at all it's way to fast pace no feel behind it.Watching a game a golf would of better than this! Anyways a little off topic but whats with the artist weird sence of age? Correct me if i'm wrong but isn't ViVI 16 YearsOld? Why does she look so Old?.. |
 |
| The last like half hour was good but before that there was just too much rushing. Coming from someone who really, really liked the Arlabaster arc, I am disappointed. 5/10(It did still have some good scenes) |
| My anime list |
| Worst movie since Chopper's Animal Kingdom, if not worse because at least that film didn't brutally compress an entire story arc. |

| i just couldn't like it. it was just like, they were trying to make another movie so "oh, we can make a trailer of alabasta arc and show it as a new movie" etc. really, i didn't like it. thinking about alabasta arc, there was just tooooooo many things i liked weren't in the movie. one piece is in genre of comedy, but there was no trace for comedy. what the..?! i am disappointed. it was out of expectations. give me back my one and half hour back. |

| I liked it a lot, it wasn't as good as the arc but what can you expect from a movie that's just 1.30 h long? That's just +/- 5 episodes long... I liked the animation and the art style and the end fight between Luffy and Crocodile was nice, 8/10 |
| Too fast paced and skipped a lot of good scenes keeping in some of the boring ones. Crocodile's voice actor was horrible in this, especially at the climax. I think it's a different voice to the one in the series. |

| Definitely one of the best story arc in one piece! |
   |
| This movie was boring. No Mr. Prince badass moment and no Usopp Pound... |

| the best part was Luffy punching Crocodile |
 |
| T'was nice. |
 |
| Well, scene with Robin was really touching. Other than that, no bad, but of course only after watching the whole series. Without that it doesn't make any sense. |
 |
| Even though a lot of stuff were left out, I still loved it! That ending was epic! |

Drunk_Samurai said: The movie was horrible. I hated this arc anyway. It was too long IMO but i thought the movie would change my opinion. It wasnt that way. Boring since it was really just a recap of the "main" story. |
 |
| I like this arc in One Piece but this movie didn't have enough time to adapt all the content as this was a big arc and the animation wasn't a massive improvement either, way to fast paced. |

| Was nice to see Vivi and the folks at Alabasta again, not bad for a recap movie. Was also good to see what Robin was thinking before she snuck onboard the Merry, and that flashback with Saul. 7/10 |
| I'm Bruneian and I like anime. And Manchester United. And fat cats. |
| Nice to see the old folks back again after so long. The movie didn't cover everything which is understandable because of time limit. Anyway overall nice recap ^^ |
 |
| This movie was.... bad. First it was way too condensed to do the source material any justice, second they changed so many things and left out important, and impactful details. It feels like they made the arc worse and then shrunk it to fit under two hours. The ED was good, and seeing Robin's extra scene before stowing away on the Merry was some of the only redeeming qualities about this movie. That and the higher definition and smoother animation. But it's not enough to bring this movie up to an acceptable level. There are better fan-made recap arcs out there than this. |
| One of my favorite arcs condensed into a better animated movie!! I loved it, but missed some of the things the show covered during the arc, but hey that's understandable since this is a hour and a half movie and the show had dozens of 20 minute episodes |
| “I love heroes, but I don't want to be one. Do you even know what a hero is!? For example, you have some meat. Pirates will feast on the meat, but the hero will distribute it among the people! I want to eat the meat!” - Monkey D. Luffy |
| It was a bad recap movie, it felt like a bunch of clips stuck together. |
 |
| This recap movie more or less served it purpose despite the fairly messy editing of relevant scenes throughout the arc and the omission of a lot of neat scenes. After around 800 episodes into the series and with how this jogged my memory of the entire Alabasta Arc itself, I actually ended up appreciating how good this arc was even more than when I first watched it! It was nice to see Ms. All Sunday and Princess Vivi again. And of course, one of my favorite scenes in all of anime made me tear up once more~ |
 |
| I love the OG arc but this was just okay. Watched this out of boredom and while it wasn't bad or anything, it doesn't do the original justice by any means. Granted that's practically impossible when you condense an entire arc into a movie. Basically if you want to rewatch Arabasta without watching the entire thing in the show, this is the movie for you. Though you likely won't get much out of it. |
| I love seeing the Albasta arc with a much better animation!! It was a good recap movie. |
 |
| Yeahh idk how they think this idea of condense Alabasta Arc into a Movie was gonna work. This Speedrunning of Alabasta Arc just lost all it's charm. Upgrade Animation was nice though, but that's all about it. Story got butcher a lot. And the Goodbye scene with Vivi at the end just didn't hit the same, there is no emotion behind it. Also they didn't used "We Are". Bruhh 5/10 i'm being kind here. |
