Dear One Piece Folks

We will be having our One Piece Awards soon...

#Kinjitsu kōkai (coming soon)

I'll just make some early nominations since I got nothing better to do right now:

Favorite character: Zoro

I love that he's serious most of the time but still has goofy moments. Smoothie also has the potential to be a favorite of mine.

Least favorite character: Foxy

Nothing will ever top Foxy. This guy was annoying as hell and his arc is the only arc I will never reread.

Usopp is a close second.

Least favorite arc: Davy Back arc

The only thing more annoying than Foxy himself is the arc he was in.

Funniest character: Nami

Nami is low key one of the funnier members in the crew.

 

[FetherMan]

Donald Rumsfeld aka: Akainu
Mike Pence aka: Fujitora
Barack Obama aka: Aokiji
Hilary Clinton aka: Big Mom
Vladmir Putin aka: Kizaru

Dearest One Piece Family

It has been a while since we all know each other in MH. I have a lot, a lot, a lot of fun with you guys. We talk, we chat and we discuss about One Piece and other times, we talk about other non-related issues. Sometimes some of us are pulling out each other’s hair. But that is alright since we are all different individuals and we have our unique differences. However despite all that has happened, at the end of the day, we all compromise and reconcile, and be friends again.


I truly enjoy every moment with you all. Besides discussing in the OP section, some of you also communicate with me via personal messages. I always treasure the times we spend together. You could have shared your personal information with other people, but yet, you chose to talk to me. That shows that you believe in me. For that, I sincerely thank you for trusting me and I want you to know that your sharing is very precious to me.

You must be wondering why such an emotional message that I’m posting here. The reason is that I’m bidding farewell. I have decided to move on to spend more time in life commitment and demands. But before I go, I’d like to talk to you for one last time and to let you know how much I’m treasuring our friendship.


Please do stay cool, healthy and happy. My best wishes for you all. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!!



Sayonara, you are all my nakama.

It's really sad to hear that. You were a great contribution to the community and your absence will be sorely felt.

I hope life treats you kind and you excel at whatever you venture to do. Maybe we can talk One Piece again in the future. See ya and godspeed!

Alright well this is never a fun feeling.....I did not know whether to respond here or in the FT thread, but I decided here since this will and always be your home @ProGoddess I honestly must say I am very alarmed at how attached I have become to the friendships I have made on here. I always used to think online friendships were too superficial to mean much, and while being able to see someone is a bit different for sure, I feel I was very wrong. I am very happy I was though as getting to know so many great people on here has been truly a treasure.

I want to say thank you so much @ProGoddess for being so welcoming to me to this forum and chatting with me on discord. I am glad I and @lakhan220 were your writing students, and I will miss your great reviews every week. I and @lakhan220 will continue your review legacy for sure, and I thank you for all the time you spent on those, i truly enjoyed them.

I am sorry to see you leave, but I am sure you have your reasons. I wish you the best in anything and everything you do, you certainly deserve it. I hope that some day you will come back and maybe check in on us some day, I know we would all all love that. If this is good bye for good take care of yourself, and know you will be sincerely missedI hope our paths cross again some day!

 

[Erinyes]

@ProGoddess i am really upset about it. that's too sad, as i tried to tell you earlier on Discord.
Hope you're doing well, i definitely understand that you want to prioritize other things, and i respect your choice, but that deeply saddens me. Hope it's not a definitive "farewell" I will definitely miss you, hope it's just a temporary step back. looking forward to seeing you around.

Take good care of you, wish you all the best, and come back very soon, your other "family" (sorry for the very "FTish" wording , but I really mean it) here will be waiting for you !

oh everything is summarized in Lakhan sig' (so sweet lak-kun !)

 

[Spirit]

And just when I was trying to catch up with One Piece I discover that ProG is gone
@GodDarkness will succeed your personality dearest Goddess s
So don't worry. I look forward to seeing you again <3

 

[Santa Claus]

Hohoho! Merry Christmas everybody!

Does anyone here have Dr. Choppers contact info? Rudolph has broken a leg, and I could use a reindeer of Choppers talent.

Meanwhile, I also encourage all to share some holiday spirit in the Mangahelper Secret Santa 2016 event!

 

[Eigengrau]

I'm afraid Chopper-kun is in a bit of a pickle at this time, you might wanna reschedule for another day.

Pretty sure the event has always been held at this time every year

 

[Eigengrau]

Pretty sure the event has always been held at this time every year

I was referring to the first part, about Rudolph's broken leg, and Chopper not being available due to his current (manga) predicament .
(though I realize now that he wanted Chopper as a substitute, and not as a doctor to check on the injured reindeer).

 

[Norland]

yohohohohoho....
One Piece 20 years anniversary already starting at WSJ.

Quick question if I may: does anyone know if the One Piece Omnibus volumes also include the SBSs?

Interview of One Piece Gold staff

Source : Ann

At this year's Barcelona Manga Fair, One Piece Film Gold staff members Hiroaki Miyamoto (director), Masayuki Sato (character designer and animation director), and Hiroyuki Sakurada (producer) sat down with us to talk about their work on the most recent One Piece movie, yielding a nice conversation about their way of working within not only the franchise but the entire anime industry.

So how do you become the director of a One Piece movie?

Hiroaki Miyamoto: I spent six years working on the TV series, so the studio already knew me. Normally, One Piece movies are directed by people who have been involved previously on the TV series.

In terms of continuity, who is this movie for?

Miyamoto: It has nothing to do with the TV series. One Piece Film Gold is a completely new thing made to entertain people.

Hiroyuki Sakurada: The movie's target audience ranges from long-time One Piece fans to people who have never heard of the series.

How is working as a producer at Toei Animation?

Sakurada: It's kind of weird (laughs). I go to the office in the morning, I read manga, I eat while reading manga, I have some meetings during the afternoon about the storyboards, and I watch anime at night.

What can you tell us about the differences between producing a franchise like One Piece compared to more minor works?

Sakurada: Well, we try to get as much as we can from Oda, his opinion is really important during the creative process. We have to think like he thinks and put those thoughts into every One Piece production. For example, talking about One Piece Film Gold, Oda has been involved since the beginning: screenplay, character design, even the music and voices used for the movie. So that's the main difference from most other series.

Are franchises like One Piece or Dragon Ball infinite or do they have an expiry date?

Sakurada: There won't be any expiry date if people accept what we're creating, but that's something we can't decide.

Even if there's no new material left?

Sakurada: Well yeah, we create the content, but it's people who decide if they like it or not. And we're going to do our best to create really good content!

Do you feel a high sense of responsibility when working on a franchise like One Piece?

Miyamoto: As a director, I feel a lot of pressure. But this is something I've always wanted. When I was young, I read the One Piece manga and watched the anime, so I dreamed of ending up as part of the series staff. I've achieved that dream, so I feel really fulfilled.

What about you, Sato? Did you follow One Piece from the beginning too?

Masayuki Sato: I have to admit that when the One Piece manga started its serialization, I didn't read it and didn't have a lot of interest in it. However, when I got to work on the franchise, I started reading it, and I love it! So now I'm really happy to be part of this.

It's your third time on a One Piece movie. What have been the differences from Gold to Strong World and One Piece Z?

Sato: As an animation director, the biggest difference has been using a mixed animation technique. As character designer, I don't think there's a lot of differences except that I'm now doing a better job. I do adaptations from Oda's designs, and that's something that doesn't really change, but I'm getting more experienced as time goes by.

Comparing your recent work on Pretty Cure All Stars: Haru no Carnival, where you made the original character designs, how does your creative process change with One Piece movies, where you have to adapt someone else's work?

Sato: The main difference is that while original designs have a component of creative freedom, they're also more difficult to create. On the other hand, if you have something already created like One Piece, the difficult part is to adapt your style as much as you can to the reference, which in this case would be Oda. But in general, it's easier copying rather than creating designs.
Would you say that you have freedom when it comes to choose new projects?

Sato: I have freedom to choose one project or another, but not for creating things from scratch.

In One Piece Film Gold, the starting point is the City of Las Vegas. When did you decide to place the action there?

Sakurada: Upon choosing the movie's theme, I met with Oda and the director to talk about where we should place the setting. We chose the casino as the movie's principal axis because money can't buy freedom, and that's the main theme — One Piece characters fight a character named Tesoro, who symbolizes money and power.

Tesoro and Carina were created for this feature film. Are you happy about how these two new characters have developed?

Miyamoto: From my point of view, Tesoro is really frank as well as sensitive. He fights to get his freedom. Luffy and Tesoro are opposites, but they have a similar nature. Carina, for her part, was a childhood friend of Nami's. They were rivals, so when it came time to imagine her, the intent was to create an even more sexy personality than Nami, following Oda's style of drawing girls.

Sakurada: What's interesting about Carina is that she's a mysterious character. Even though she fights against Tesoro, it's not clear whether she's on one side or another.

How big is the workload behind a movie like this?

Miyamoto: In terms of animation, 300 cuts and around 4000 key animations are needed for a One Piece TV chapter, while we made 2000 cuts and 76000 key animations for One Piece Film Gold.

Are you planning to come back to the TV series?

Miyamoto: Right now I'm working on other projects, but if I get asked to return to the One Piece TV series, I would accept the offer.

What are your thoughts about the current state of the anime industry?

Sakurada: Anime is getting more and more internationalized. Some productions have become such a big success through this that people in the industry are doing their best so this can stay a permanent trend.

Sato: On the animation side, I don't know what's going to happen with technology, since I don't know if technology will move faster than people. So I don't know if CGI and animation made with tablets will leave traditional animation in the dust.

Miyamoto: In fact, in One Piece Film Gold, we used 3DCG mixed with the traditional way of creating animation. We tried to go one step further.

So the arc started around 823 and we're at 848 now, so number wise, we could be looking at around 890-900 for the start of Wano, unless Sugita is speaking strictly from a plot perspective, in which case it could go either way.

At least we have an idea of where we're at.
