like for real, what is the hype about?
what exactly was good about this?

it was like a piece of bread with butter, surely nothing bad, but well...no tension, no drama, just a slideshow of events with really bad animation and poor quality. no?

i´ve seen all episodes of OP and that also wasn´t some reminescence...
what makes those ratings these days?is it because a women made it?

is THAT the peak you ask for? i don´t get it at all, teach me.

It wasn't bad, it was very good. But if in this special, animation was "peak" for you, then you probably don't watched a lot of series with really good animation, like Kara no Kyoukai or Kotonoha no Niwa etc.

Movies generally do have much better animation, this was just a special. The animation in Fan Letter is really good and fluid, and the flat art style is a stylistic choice (I’ve seen plenty of other anime that do a similar thing).

You don’t know that art and animation are two different things do you? The art is subjective, but the animation was absolutely great. The fact that you’re trying to show animation through a picture says a lot abt what you know about animation.

You’re confusing art style with animation. Go watch a Youtube video on what constitutes animation, which is movement.

I’m convinced this is bait. If not, you’re either 12 years old, or just incredibly, incredibly incompetent.

it was beautifully animated, had another perspectives from a show everyone loves and in 20 minutes made lovable characters and gave us laughs, even as an special chapter it was made with love and passion, so I dont blame people or even myself for loving it so much, it isnt just an slideshow or "filler" like a lot of idiots are saying

I understand that it may isn't to everyone's taste and you can dislike it. But suddenly dissing woman. That's a whole another level of low, man. And if the ratings are high and you don't like it. it just means you don't have the same taste as most people.

i can't find logic in your question,
animation was bad? it was bright,smooth and great.
then,
slideshow of scenes,
it added something to the arcs we already had watched , a new perspective perhaps and well, it's not everyone's type as one piece mainly focuses on emotions rather than your "blah blah idk what you really want" so some don't like it and I understand.

it’s mostly because it brings back to the reunion of the straw hats, it was a great moment that ever one piece watcher enjoyed. also seeing the new animation style adapted onto it was great. i would also say emotional purposes , the two brothers story and the little girl that wanted to see naomi so bad touched hearts. the animation was great but i don’t think that’s the whole reason it is so loved

Is it messy? Yes. That’s partially due to Megumi Ishitani’s direction and signature style of animation that she works with. What makes it great is that we get to see the One Piece world from the eyes of everyday people. It’s not as grand as Luffy makes it out to be. In fact, it’s downright terrifying at times.

It encapsulates how people from different walks of life, backgrounds, ages are still connected because they’ve been affected by the Straw Hats in some capacity. The little girl looked up to Nami because Nami doesn’t have powers. She’s normal, yet is willing to go up against dangerous threats and travel the world.

The Marine older brother was inspired by Luffy’s willingness to save Ace by taking care of his younger brother despite them not having the closest relationship.

The Marine captain that loved Chopper and his cuteness despite him being a pirate.

The powerscalers at the bar debated about Zoro and who the strongest swordsman was.

Lastly there was the girl who wanted to see Brook in concert but couldn’t get tickets.

It was a masterpiece of an episode.

@AquaBlue-sama you talk about bait, meanwhile we have this :)

I literally asked you kids WHY. WHAT, makes it that great. 90% couldn't give a single reason. And again. Many pictures, like when the soldiers look down on the sunny. Or early when we see her ride this thing. It literally looks like a paint job. You all just hard pin down the word "animation" while because you have no scope.

But to be honest. You did prove what i have said. I would rate it a 7 btw, and i did. But you all rage hype this thing and claim i would call for a 1...which proves me right, again.

@The_Weekly_Jay i appreciate your comment. But how that makes it a masterpiece doesn't reach me. We saw fans before and heard people hype the straw hats. Basically what i hear is, "i saw many like me that look up to them". But overall, there is no real depth to it, maybe the marine guys, and ofc her with a role model. That's why I don't count the others. And the pictures just look poor at times. But that's opinion most likely.

@AkaiSanji

I get where you're coming from. What's considered a "Masterpiece" is ultimately subjective. I, too, use that word sparingly. It loses meaning when it's plastered everywhere. The thing is that, realistically, we just witnessed history. Not so much for One Piece (although it's been on a historic run for a while now), but for Megumi Ishitani. One Piece has had many great directors, but Megumi Ishitani has etched her name in the history books after Fan Letter. That's partially where a chunk of the hype was coming from. Fan Letter is special for all the right reasons. It'd be a while before we get an episode of that caliber again.

I'm just gonna quickly say this and dip. This opinion is coming from an average one piece fan. (Felt like I should say this lol)

My reply to the topic -> I'll admit, there might be some who just absolutely gushed over the whole thing. But I honestly think it deserves the praise. (10 might be too much, I'd give it 8.5)

What I should be clarifying the most is "Bad animation & poor quality". How did you come to this conclusion and I want you to explain this to me. The animation fit its' theme perfectly imo. The vibrant colors, fluid animation, simple cartoon-ish character designs... What did you want this to look like, bleach?

Some people might find the story bland but I think what shines the most is the representation of the story with its' phenomenal cinematography. I love the way they showed off the brothers and the girl.

Overall, I'd recommend this to anybody in a heartbeat. Yes anybody. Even people who aren't familiar with one piece.
