| THIS IS AN ANIME ONLY DISCUSSION POST. DO NOT DISCUSS THE MANGA BEYOND THIS EPISODE. ---------------------------------------- That was a decent start to this series. I dig the pirate theme as well as the OP/ED and hand-drawn animation style and Jim seems like a likeable MC so I'm looking forward to see more of this. |
| I probably regret this post by now. |
| Good start so far wonder when we will find out what all is inside the chest |
"What has two arms, two legs, and is alive? Not your favorite character lol! xD" |
| Pretty good fist episode, I wonder who the one legged sailor Billy bones is looking out is, since I have a base understanding of the original book I think its probably long John silver but you never know. |
| Off to a great start I have to say. |
 |
| Nice start,like the setting and that it's about pirates. Looking forward to this adventure. |
One Piece episode 914 & 915 & 1027 were a mistake and 957 brought the salvation - FMmatron |
| P decent first ep, I'm aware of the premise of the book but most of the stuff beyond the beginning is unknown to me. Not sure if I like this arstyle too much though I like the celluloid and hand drawn effect |
 |
| From my ignorance of the original story, I had assumed the pirate in this episode was Long John himself, but it seems not. Ah, well I look forward to meeting the man himself. Jim is a good kid. |
| Probably most adaptations of Treasure Island skip over Billy's arrival at the inn and his interactions with Jim to get the plot moving faster; it's understandable how a movie-length version of the story has to get going but I like that this much longer adaptation can take the time to linger a little, like the original story does. I'm not fond of its rendition of the "dead man's chest" song, though. It's a sailor's song; it's supposed to be boisterous and jolly (despite the grim lyrics). Here Billy just mumbles it. |
| As someone who adores Stevenson's Treasure Island, this was an excellent first episode. I'm interested to see if they keep Jim's narration going; I enjoyed it here. The characterization of him and Billy Bones was really enjoyable, and Dezaki's direction, while not quite to his Rose of Versailles or Ashita no Joe 2 level, is stellar. |
