Interesting to see how the alabasta arc started.
The animation is just a bit more up to date, but for some reason I disliked how Vivi looked here (prefer the original)

It managed to be worse than disastrous Movie 8. New art looks terrible to sloppy at its best and lack of inbetween shots makes me wonder why they even wasted cash on this. At least it's only 15 minutes long. And scene with Vivi pulling her hair up is lovely.

Even though the version I watched didn't have subtitles, I still knew the story, and it was still very much a fun watch!
“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

They removed Zoro's reaction where Zoro use his sword to slice a snot in two. Also Nami's punch is just too sudden. In addition, they changed Vivi's reaction to Igram boat getting blown up. This looks better in the original. I also agree Vivi looks better. The anime is dope though. Looks really good, that's the only thing. ^^ 3/5

Miss Valentine is so cute! I remember having a crush on her when I was young.

That Zoro vs. Luffy fight looked so cool here!

Decent remaster of the original ep. 7/10

It's just a simple introduction to the Alabasta arc, they did impr⊙⊙ve the design of some (female) characters, but overall a good episode and almost impossible to find today. I watched mine without sub but that's still fine :)
