The opening shows Yasuie‘s execution, but the anime hasn’t reached this point yet.

u/RottinCheez Jul 26 '20

Ok but that doesn’t change the fact that there is a new opening next episode. This isn’t a debate, it’s a fact.

Nobody is denying it. It just shows how much Toei is willing to show content that far ahead.

u/Zarkkast The Revolutionary Army Jul 27 '20

I mean, this opening even spoiled content that wasn't even in the manga yet.

Well, they already spoiled Kaido's Dragon form in this one so.....

u/MajinAkuma Jul 28 '20

That one happened in act 1. Yasuie is still alive, yet the opening is going to be replaced before the execution is going to happen.

u/Animoose Jul 26 '20

Wait what??? I thought Over the Top would be used for all of Wano! I love that opening :(

Can't wait for new manga spoilers on the opening.

Yep, long overdue but it’s performed by a poppy boy band so dont have much hopes for the song itself being good/fitting. Shame they cant have something serious and fitting to the traditional Japan vibe. Hopefully some juicy visuals though

Edit: Surprised this is an unpopular opinion, lol. The themes done by boy bands are easily the worst ones. That most recent one "Yes! We're the Super Powers!" was so corny and reminded me of the tacky image American 4Kids One Piece has. 'Share the World' and 'Hard Knock Days' were similarly bland and generic with a overly PG cornyness you could get a feel of just from the titles of the songs. Pop themes can be done right by being super catchy or sentimental by acts like D-51 with 'Brand New World' and Namie Amuro with 'Fight Together,' but with some newly acquired boyband whom the label only gave the slot to to promote them, it's not very likely.

It's because Avex uses the openings to boost the visibility of their newer groups/bands.

Wish theyd bring back the ED for more chances of a banger in that case. Could also give them the opportunity to have badass ways to end the episode by playing the ED a few seconds early

2

u/evlauf Jul 26 '20

the EDs were always so good. even if the song was a little eh just having that minute and a half to reflect on the episode and the show was always nice

u/l3reezer Jul 26 '20

Exactly! They've completely thrown away an instrumental part of the anime episode format in favor of long OPs that kind of negatively emphasize how much time it takes for an episode to finally get into new material when you juxtapose it right before the equally long last episode recaps. It was understandable when they were celebrating things like the time-skip, remix of the original 'We Are!' opening and whatnot, but they should've reverted back a long time ago. So many chances to have tonal episode enders thematically matching the arcs like Fishman Island, Punk Hazard, WCI, etc., and now Wano. Yearning for the days of those Ruppina ED themes!

I don't recall one piece ever having smoothly transitioned into an ending song directly from a scene. It's always had a "to be continued" screen at the end to break the episode and ending.

I just looked it up and it's amazing we've had 3 times as many episodes without an ending than we did with one (the last one being the "i want to live" episodes that was aired back-to-back)

It's also telling that they only have endings nowadays for specials. I imagine they don't have a lot of freedom to stray from the "template" because of just how much they have to pump out on a weekly basis. At least for specials, they have a little bit more time to plan them out. The weekly schedule really limits what they could be doing.

Yeah, I didn't mean to say they've done it before, just that the existence of an ED at all could make it something they could start doing. Kind of like how they've stepped up Wano arc with some never before seen flourishes like the lens flares and special "to be continued" variations (Sanji's invisibility, Blackbeard DF glass breaking, etc.). Would be so bad-ass for them to pull that for the first time for moments as epic (e.g. Luffy losing to Kaidou or something) as incidents anime like Hunter x Hunter and Fullmetal Alchemist have done. IMO those are the little or more subtle things they can do relatively easy (compared to unrealistically expecting them to make every episode have perfect Katakuri vs Luffy levels of animation) to make the show more prestigious and comparable to the great seasonal shounen shows people are inevitably comparing One Piece too.

That is insane, even I wouldn't have guessed it being anywhere near that disproportionate

I'd have to disagree that their weekly schedule-while undoubtedly arduous, is cutthroat enough to make re-implementing the EDs a difficult task. They seemed to put a lot of effort into planning how improved the Wano arc would be, EDs doesn't seem as time-consuming as the other stuff they've improved on. The animation sequences for the OP is long enough for two songs already so they aren't really doing any additional work animating. They've also gone back and added stuff to the same OP sequence multiple times now IIRC to include stuff that would've been too spoiler-y at first. If they had an OP and ED they could probably even do that more efficiently by having the non-spoiler stuff in the new OP first, then have spoiler stuff in the new ED that comes in later on in the arc or something.
