One Piece: Film Z - Movie [Blu-ray]

One Piece: Film Z is one of, if not THE, best One Piece films. I would recommend this film and the Strong World movie to any fan of the manga or anime. If you haven't ventured into the world of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece, however, this film shouldn't be the place to start.A brief, general summary of the movie is as follows: The Strawhat pirates happen upon a man floating unconscious in the ocean. They rescue and treat him only to discover that he is Z, an ex-marine on a mission to destroy all pirates. Luffy and the Strawhats fight against Z and his crew to reclaim Luffy's treasure and, in the process, halt a plan that could end the New World.Film Z's plot is simple, but since it is encompassed by the overall world building of Oda's creation, it has a life bigger than its 120+ minutes. Z, himself, is a newly introduced character, but it feels as though he has been involved in the world the entire time. The movie follows a nice pace, balancing humor with action, and the conclusion is built up and executed really well. This is a movie I watched more than once and enjoyed it each time.The blu-ray version looks amazing during the sections where the budget was a bit more relaxed; in early sections, however, you can tell that it was restricted. Cells of characters from far away are fuzzy and low quality, which the blu-ray's clarity accentuates even more. halfway through, you'll notice these instances lessening, and the final scenes have little, if any, poor quality animation.

I am a huge one piece fan and to summarize my thoughts, I loved it! The setting, the characters, the music, the visuals, it was an amazing film to watch! I love the ex-admiral Z. He was the most interesting villain comparing to Gold or Strong World. My only gripe is the final battle between Luffy and Z, because it felt anti-climatic like I was hoping for a grander fight. Overall, it is still a fun one piece film for any fan.

One of One Piece's best film. Great animation, good story, and a great ending to the character know as Z. The English dub is of top quality as well. This film has the influences of the original creator Eiichiro Oda with the story and the new character introduced in the film. Great design and all. I would recommend to get the Blu-ray for top quality of the color, animation, and great clean visuals. If you area One Piece fan you will want this in you collection.

If you are a fan of One Piece, you will lose your mind over this film. The quality of animation is second to none, and is in fact the best animation I have ever seen. The fights are epic, the story is good, and the humor is interwoven flawlessly. The whole cast plays their part in the show, and I could not have been happier. I usually hate the idea of watching a movie twice, but One Piece: Film Z changes that.

Action packed, exciting, exactly what I want from a One Piece movie. I really loved the villain and his backstory, however my only complaint is that I wish his backstory would be in the show as well. It's so good.

An amazing movie for One Piece fan. I've watched it twice back to back with the other movies. Z was an amazing villain that I wished was in the main story. An ex-admiral would've shook up the main story on the marines side.

I'm going to preface by saying this movie is noncanon however, it has some canon elements not shown in the manga and anime. It is a great watch for One Piece fans. The animation is amazing and the pacing is a bit slow in the beginning. As a One Piece fan, you should check it out.

My favorite One Piece film of all time. This one has an interesting story, a deep villain, and an awesome song that will go down as one of the best One Piece Songs along with Binks' Brew (Binks' Sake). Also Aokiji (Kuzan) is in this film and he really adds to the story of this film. Definitely recommend this to anyone who is a One Piece fan or Anime fan in general.
