Introduction
After suffering great personal loss during the battle of Marineford, Monkey D. Luffy finds himself stranded on Rusukaina, a treacherous island crawling with huge and dangerous creatures. There, he has committed himself to a two-year stretch of training to learn "Haki," the energy that combatants can use to grant themselves a variety of abilities in battle.
Luffy is jerked away from his otherwise peaceful training by the abduction of Sandersonia and Marigold, sisters of his friend and ally Boa Hancock. With Boa's aid, Luffy seeks to track down the infamous pirate responsible for the kidnapping, a man whose recent prison break is the result of Luffy's own reckless actions. Luffy must use his developing grasp of Haki to defeat this new foe while coming to terms with his overbearing grief in the process.

Spoiler free review:
I genuinely have no idea why nobody talks about it, when I saw movie ratings this one is so underrated compared to stamped and some other movies but tbh i think this was better than most of them.
The story literally continues from were we left post marineford and idk if it's canon or not but it definitely felt completely canon movie to me.
The only reason I actually wanted to watch it was just to see more Hancock tbh but I didn't know it has so much more to offer
We see Luffy's progress, him practicing haki, Hancock has some good moments too and the villain was also suprisingly decent, much better than most movie villains
The animation is also great and overall it's really a fun watching, just don't expect too much
Overall movie rating 8.5/10

This was a fine movie overall, but it never really engaged me. The plot setup itself is pretty boring, and the first bit of it is mostly a quick recap of certain events, which was nice to see some of the scenes reanimated but not really necessary. The main villain got some development towards the end, but it felt kind of hollow, and I didn't really care. The dialogue is pretty one-dimensional and plain, which also just makes it unable to engage me.
Besides that, there are some nice moments with Buggy, Hancock has a handful of nice scenes, and with the little bits of fight scenes we do get, there's some pretty good animation, so it was worth the watch for those reasons. With this movie done, I'm finally ready to start the time skip, so I couldn't be more excited.

Well well well, The last 1.5 hour or so was considered a special but felt like a movie
- Story (8/10):
In a nutshell, an adventure that Luffy endures while training with Rayleigh, it took place between the 2 years gap, we got to see Luffy fight together with Boa, we had some giggles every now and then which is expected from one piece content, Luffy developed well durry this special, as we see him advancing in controlling his Haki abilities, He still showed a very sensitive spot on his brother's incident tho, but he'll overcome it an upcoming point.
- Art (8/10):
The typical One piece art, the animation was fluid of course, Luffy's outfit looked so stylish, and the second gear's scenes where animation amazingly.
- Sound (8/10):
Nothing very remarkable, your very usual meal of One Piece s…

One Piece 3D2Y: Ace no shi wo Koete! Luffy Nakama Tono Chikai Review
Story (9/10) Great
With a story arc that takes place during the time-skip of One Piece where Luffy goes to Amazon Lily Island to learn and train his Haki with the assistance of Rayliegh, I thought this episode special fit in quite well. It doesn't break off and do it's own thing that would hinder the cannon story of One Piece which I don't think this is considered canon but like I said earlier since it happens during the time-skip i wouldn't see why it shouldn't. Execution with the plot that was given was simple and great.
Art and Animation (8/10) Very Good
More Specifically (8.75/10) Very Good+
The Art stood out in the episode special the most looking quite different than your average One Piece art style. Not enough…

「ONE PIECE 3D2Y エースの死を越えて! ルフィ仲間との誓い」 – THERE’S STILL A GLIMMER OF HOPE FOR THE ONE PIECE ANIME SERIES
〝3D2Y〟 エースの死を越えて！ルフィ仲間との誓い
3D2Y: Overcome Ace’s Death! Luffy’s Vow to his Friends
*SPOILERS ALERT*
The first One Piece TV special, Adventure in the Ocean’s Navel, aired fourteen years ago, but it was only recently with the 2012 premiere of Episode of Nami: Tears of a Navigator and the Bonds of Friends that the series started a new trend. The special before Episode of Nami was The Detective Memoirs of Chief Straw Hat Luffy, which aired five years prior to it; but now we’re effectively seeing a new TV special every year at most. What else distinguishes the recent specials are of course their re-tellings of the TV anime series’s previously covered canonical arcs. Besides their time-durati…

One Piece 3D2Y: Overcome Ace's Death! Luffy's Vow to his Friends is not about what the title suggests it is, but the side story presented is engaging (at least on some level) to any fan of One Piece.
There is a lot of re-animation of previous events in the show, especially in the beginning of the special in which the Marineford Arc is condensed to a few minutes in an almost comedic manner. Though it is cool to see older scenes in the alternative animation style of the special, all of the rehashing was unnecessary in terms of plot and good storytelling. Besides that, the plot itself is fairly straightforward.
Byrnndi World and his small crew are not the most threatening villains despite World’s lofty goal to destroy the World Government, but that is intentional and they are more than ser…

Note: This is my first review..
One of the best special ep.. Its almost like a movie rather than a special..the story talks about friendship "nakama" and the hardship they've been through and brotherhood betrayal.. Fight scenes are EPIC as always .. Those flashbacks brings back the good memories of the times when i watch anime while they are still on grandline.. Boa hancock is as hot as ever. It give me more reason to like her. Luffy's antagonist devil fruit is quite bad ass. And some hilarious and bad ass character are in this special episode too. So overall if you love one piece you better watch it guys...

The recent OP episodes have been quite dull: bad animation, annoying sound and excruciatingly boring. I did not have high expectations for this special but still I looked forward to it.
This special explains why I used to have high regards for OP. I was just amazing!
Story:
The story was gripping, and just awesome.It has everything everyone loves about OP: action, comedy a bad-ass villain and a light touch of fan service. Most of the time long-time airing anime when making a movie or special do not give much regards to the story, but that was not the case for 3D2Y. I did not find any plot holes and the ending gave you a feeling of satisfaction. And that is why I gave it a 9.
Art and Sound:
The animation was not outstanding, but it was quite impressive. For the first time for OP, I actu…

Following the events of Marineford, Luffy is in the midst of training with Rayleigh when a pirate by the name of Burndy World arises after escaping from Impel Down. With the intent of kidnapping one of the seven warlords, World ends up taking Boa Hancock's sisters as hostage. Luffy and Hancock team up to take down Burndy World and save Hancock's sisters.
Story: 8
From the original synopsis, I was under the impression that this would be a movie depicting Boa as a damsel in distress for Luffy to come and rescue from the hands of an evil pirate. I was so pleased that this was not the case. In fact, quite contrarily, Luffy and Boa made a great team going up against the bad guys.
If I am completely honest, the beginning of this movie did not sit well with me. The first fifteen minutes are al…
