Thread were i will post regularly Sakuga scenes of One Piece with some brief comentary in them of the animation or the artist related to it. I don't 100% rule out tweeting scenes from other anime in it too.
In a few hours we will get another One Piece "trailer" (ep. preview) for ep. 1015, the awaited chapter 1000 adaptation and, believe me, this one will truly look like a movie.
Gonna be INSANE.
Top 3 episode of the entire series at the very least. Probably top 1!
Yesterday didn't felt like doing it, so i'll do it now.
In honour of Akira Toriyama a scene from the 4 animators that first come to my head when i think of Dragon Ball: Shida, Tate, Takahashi & Onishi.
#ONEPIECE1100
is posibly TOP 1 action ep. in the series. Shishido cements himself as one of the best directors to work in One Piece. He delivered an action storyboard on a level only Ishizuka can match. The comp work & direction are insane too. The animation is extraordinary
As much as i would love to see G5 animated by the more popular ones like Chansard, Mori, Onishi, Ota. . . I'd like to add another perfect name to the equation: Akiko Sugizono. The bouncy & charicaturesque style of her character acting is a perfect fit for G5!
Full examples below
#ONEPIECE1061
Best produced action episode in OP is finally here! Nakamura cinema elevated it thorought with masterfully compositing and direction to acompany the best action storyboard ever in in the series to date.
Animation wise is also nothing short of amazing! 🔥🔥🔥
#ONEPIECE1066
will be an HISTORIC event. 1st time ever for
@ToeiAnimation
company to have a western artist board & direct a full episode.
& not just that, apart of some regular powerforces from the team, the amount of western animators invited seems to be through the roof too.
#ONEPIECE1100
WTF!!!!!!! What do you eat for breakfast Shishido? I wanna know, that's not a normal action SB that's freaking crazyyyyyy.
Bufff. I need to rewatch & think it about it more but i think it's EASILY in the conversation for best action episode in One Piece
Thread later
#ONEPIECE1104
What an amazing episode! Caught me out of guard. Bonney & Stussy moments had great SB & direction. The action went crazy. No words after the Seraphim attacks. More incredible KA debuts on OP this week & it's not looking like it will stop anytime soon 🙀
Every trailer moves less than the previous ones. . . Nice colours and compositing, strong art and designs but the animation is not there. . .
I hope it has at least 1 sakugafest ep for season but i'm starting to doubt it
OP 1013: Nakamura is Ishitani's mentor and it shows big time with his photography and lens flares aproach! Top 4 directed eps of Onigashima so far alongside: 982, 994 and 1006. Art was super strong due to Takagi's efforts. Great animation highlights that i wasn't expecting too!
The animation work of Mehdi Aouichaoui in this start of One Piece Egghead arc is stellar 💫 Fantastic effects, very lively fabric & character acting animation with great fluidity and expressivity.
I hope he continues to participate in the series often.
1st KA 1089
2nd KA 1096
#ONEPIECE1096
Shimaya's work as SB+ED was way stronger than what we anticipated it to be. There was many amazingly animated scenes giving life to the characters throughout the whole thing. Even Shimanuki AD work was surprisingly sharp.
A 🔝3⃣ Egghead episode so far🔥
Can't wait to get to the climax scenes of Sanji vs Queen, Zoro vs King, Law & Kid vs Big Mom and Luffy vs Kaido!!! It won't happen (Ishizuka) but the 3 animators who i would love the most to handle them would be clearly this 3: Ishizuka, Kojima and Sugita!
#ONEPIECE1093
Beastly! Inuzuka filled the SB with lot's of dynamic camera movements & transitions, complemented by fantastic character acting & fabric animation throughout. Ishizuka's section was short but left me speechless & Shida closed it all with his best KA in years
Henry Thurlow was very creative & came up with cool and interesting ideas while animating Law abilities in his fight against BM. Can't wait to see what Ishizuka has been cooking with them!
@Polyccio8
No me gusta. Esto no es compromiso como tal, es imposible que esté al 100% tanto física como mentalmente y esto lo van a pagar ambos jugador y equipo.
Episode of Chopper counted with the designs of Naoki Tate. He's well known for his looser style that prioritizes character acting animation & movement instead of high detailed & more stiff ones. It does it in a diferent style than Egghead will, but there's the same idea behind it
This week
#ONEPIECE1100
!!!
Promises to be an episode on the level of the best we've had this year in One Piece.
For the 1st time ever (not 100%confirmed) Chansard, Soty & Ota will animate in the same ep. & it will be under director Shishido (1089) best Egghead ep directed so far
This sounds crazy and it actually is. Is not budget is sweat, blood, tears. . . Effort and that by supertalented artists is what it takes to create this top tier moments in 2d animation.
#ONEPIECE1089
Nozomu Shishido starts Egghead with one of the best produced episodes in the series! A tense Lulusia incident featuring great scale & color choices. Art direction is perfection.
2nd half is even better with a tremendous character acting sakaugafest leaded by Soty
#ONEPIECE1100
preview animators guess.
I'm bad at this "game" so i could be wrong at more than one.
1 Tu going Ishizuka style. He's done this type of "imitations" before
2 Chansard. Lightining effects
3 Soty AD or a student of his (or both)
4 Ota! His lines are pretty unique
The hype is AWAKENING 💥
New promotional images!!!
Shishido, Vincent Chansard, Masami Mori, Akihiro ota & more 😱😱😱
One of the viggest sakugafests this Egghead arc will have.
Just a few hours for
#ONEPIECE1100
🔥🔥🔥
#ONEPIECE1098
Another episode that shows how the "low/average" priority eps of Egghead are more consitent than Wano ones. A solid display that brings Vegapunk shananigans home with some nice cretivity, coloring & compositing and bringed to life with character acting animation!
#ONEPIECE1033
Best episode since 1017 if not even 1015. Super polished art and nice character acting sequences with great storyboard and direction for the quiter parts. The action parts we all seen it: just pure insanity.
Special mention to the compositing improvement!
As BEAUTIFUL these are looking here, don't get to confusion, this cuts are handled by amazingly talented animators that fit the new style to a T. Not everything will look like this from now on, but the highlights surely will.
It's me or they appear to be softer & less detailed designs? It almost feels like Matsuda (if she is still the CD, wich it's likely) took a bit of Soty inspiration for those new Egghead designs.
@F1
@LandoNorris
This type of answers are definitively better than the politically correct ones than they usually repeat three times in every GP. At least this was new and funny even if obviously is just a joke and is not really answering anything.
Director Nozumu Shishido is handling Luffy vs Lucci in episode 1100!!!
He's the director that started Egghead with the AMAZING episode of Lulusia incident + the Strawhats reaching the place & meeting with Bonney.
We can expect ti to be a contender for ep. of the year in OP 🔥
We recently knew that Ryota Nakamura, one of the best directors that ever worked for One Piece leaved the team. He will be missed. Some of the strongest Wano eps like 1013 or 1061 were his. Also 850 his only work of his in the series previously was one of the highlights of WCI
In honour of the rematch in
#ONEPIECE1000
some of the best animated scenes of the legendary Luffy vs Lucci fight! One of the best in the entirety of One Piece & today's one will be even way more CRAZY sakuga wise!!! 🔥🔥🔥
Climax of Wano already here in the anime!
Promotional image? Most likely.
Looks 🔥🔥🔥
Unrelated, but i wouldn't be surprised if soon we hear some news about a new opening. So much time with the current one. I guess they maybe do one for the end of Wano + start of the next arc
@iAmCanni
@PPageWriter
@PokemanZ0N6
Nami is "swedish" & has brown eyes. Emily Rudd is american & has blue eyes. To this day she's still toping the list of better casted characters according to most fans.
Egghead & Wano 1st Strawhats illustration side by side. What do you think of the diferences? Do you like the softer approach to the character designs with lower line count, less overall detail & less rigid in the Egghead one, or prefer the Wano one?
Poll below
Since the latter part of Wano Act 1 until the end of Oden's backstory, Junwen Tan, often apearing with his friend Yong-Ce Tu, was very present in One Piece anime, delivering fantastic scenes with amazing effects work, impact frames, fluidity & even good choreography. I miss it!
Will Tu be the main animation powerhouse of 1100? It would make sense. Specially if he doesn't appear until then, i expect his biggest contribution in awhile. Probably not just lenghty KA but also AD work.
Just a slight bit of the insane contributions he's done to the anime 👇
The one KA artist we NEED to get back on the team is Akihiro Ota. He was my favourite animator in Act 3 of Wano. His scenes speak for themselves, & yes he has even more secuences in this crazy level 🥹
So 🔥🔥🔥
#ONEPIECE1092
I liked it. More than solid for a low priority episode. Art wasn't bad, we got new great OST, a couple of sakuga scenes. Boarding was nice too in some sections. I'm already feeling the benefits of less detailed designs for this type of episodes.
Dennis Cablao leaves Toei Phils after contributing for a decade. His work will be missed. He did some realy cool animation scenes through the years, specially later on. Here's my personal favourites🔥:
It’s been an incredible journey to work with the best of the mind I have known in my professional career. Sadly, I am leaving with a warm heart. Thank you, everyone, and goodbye🫶🏻💕
#ONEPIECE1106
Inoue art shined through another strong episode, giving a nice looks to the always competent & often brilliant SB of series director Koyama, well executed by Ieri. The quality of the regular One Piece episodes in Egghead i just unbelivable at this point!
@Nr1Shimotsuki
The whole Baratie character arc for Sanji was literally change this menality of his 😅 This doesn't apply to him after this arc anymore 😂
Reminder of how the movie quality kicks in whenever Masami Mori, also known as Soty, tooks the AD position for a portion of the episode.
Yes, he'll do that for this week's episode: the start of the Egghead arc!
#ONEPIECE1061
thread later but yeah, best action episode in the series. Not even close. 1017 still top 1 in terms of action animation but this one as complete action episode clears thanks to it's board fight choreography, compositing and direction.
Yoshikazu Tomita is a legend among the animators that have participated in One Piece.
He's been doing a great job since the Thriller Bark days until the very finale of Wano.
I hope we can see him on Egghead at some point too!
Matsumi director of one of the best Wano episodes (1051) Yong-Ce Tu the main OP animator, Mehdi, Shida, posibly Maenami & MORE!
#ONEPIECE1101
is shaping up to be another SUPER episode!
TIC TAC, just a few hours! 🔥🔥🔥
The combo!
Last time Vincent & Shigetsugu worked together they were both part of one of the Top 5 best action sequences in One Piece history. Movies & specials included 🔥🔥🔥
To celebrate the return of the One Piece anime, here's my favourite scene of every one of the 4 best animated episodes of the Egghead arc so far! 1 scene from each of those episodes: 1089, 1093, 1095 & 1096 🔥
Shishido went above & beyond with the action storyboard in One Piece 1100. Some of the most complex sequences in the series. Specially the last one with all the stuff in the background & how it gets even more crazy when it reaches the buildings.
Insane! 🔥🔥🔥

Tanaka clearly showed his talent for creative boarding and brilliant lighting. He turned a few pages of boring content into a nice spectacle with good pace thanks to his abilityies.
One of the most polished eps. in a while art wise.
Storyboard looks soo strong! 😮🙀 Also the one scene where Queen is just smashing Sanji around with his mechanical arms animated probably by Shida has a great board 🔥🔥🔥
Nightberry and Yen BM confirmed + posibly Mori judging by the preview. . . Tokuno seems to have once again a strong animators list to work with in his second episode in the series! (1045 Sanji vs Q & K was his 1rst).
Hype!
OMG!!!!! These look SO good.
Hype! This One Piece episode will be AMAZING.
Matsumi, the director of spectacular 1051, has cooked. & i'm sure that Tu, Shida, Mehdi. Maybe Maenami too? & whoever more is in this too.
This week OP sakuga will come like a shaking earthquake🔥🔥🔥
Ishizuka SB. Shida & Henry. Confirmed.
Yong-Ce Tu, Vincent Chansard & Chris likely to appear (NOT confirmed).
Possibly more talents from 1017.
Maenami? Rioo? Takashima? Maybe other frequent talents too: Fasto? Ban?
Looking at how many illustrations Ishizuka is releasing of Zoro vs King & Law vs Kurohige, i do hope he does the same for Garp, & hopefully Aokiji too 😌
Very charming & fun character acting from Hideki Maniwa, who was one of the strongest assets of the One Piece production in the early pre timeskip days & a perfect fit for it's charicaturesque style. Literally my favourite animator of that time. Until Ishizuka took over, ofc 😉😌
This week there's just a recap episode but i'll do one very special OP thread, it'll be about what's most likely the best produced action scene in the entire anime so far 👀
Bahi JD joining One Piece chapter 1000 adaptation with Ishitani direction and Masami Mori animation direction. . . Fucking insane!
I personally think too that Jakisuaki is doing THE WALK, wich i'm really happy if it's the case since is the animator i wanted for it.
One Piece 1101 preview images!
It'll most likely don't match 1100 level but it'll still be a VERY strong episode!
Can't wait for the 2nd Sakugafest in a row.
We can spot Shida, but unsure about the rest. I think Tu is in there, tho. There's chances of Maenami too imo.
My fav AD for Kuzan vs Garp would've been Ishizuka, but since he's busy with Law vs BB, it can't be. The other perfect AD for it is Tu. He's shown countless times how raw & intense his art can be. Here's just a few examples.
We are already seeing the first animators that contribute to the One Piece anime with works that take inspiration from Ota style.
Imagine how crazy it will be in the future when that pairs up with the work of his students!
#ONEPIECE1101
Another fatastic episode! Matsumi nailed the transitions, gave creative imagery to the dialogue scenes & bringed home a more than stand out action storyboard with delightful compositing in the key moments as the cherry on top.
#ONEPIECE1045
Tokuno offers us a very cinematic experience bathed in great lighting and compositing. The dynamic & highscale-like board filled with agile transitions of matching cuts a la "Stampede" is the star of the episode.
Mori AD sections give us the best action since 1033.
Ishizuka sure knows how to make characters look RAW! Doesn't matter if is his KA, his AD or his illustrations, his drawings always go too hard. His style is one of the most insanes to me 🔥
Ishizuka drew HALF of the storyboard and participated as animation director for the first time after Punk Hazard!!!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥 WTF is 1062? 😱😱😱
I'm so hyped up and i haven't even seen the preview yet lmao
More Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarppppp!
Can't wait for my favourite staff member in One Piece to work on one of my favourite characters in the entire series.
The hype is real 🔥🔥🔥
@PokemanZ0N6
HOW? It's still not even been released in most countries yet.
The insane popularity anime shonen movies are getting recently is wild. Especially those based in well established franchises.
1062 can relistically fight for his spot in the best produced acrion episodes ever in this franchise. The one to truly look forward.
The other 2 aren't particularly strong. Hisada is good but rarely truly outstanding. Also i don't expect the best animators to show up on those.
I feel like this Ousama Ranking animation by the "titan animator" Arifumi Imai, was quickly forgotten. Less flashy than his popular stuff but It's among his best works, imo. Specially when it comes to character acting.
Chris drawing in his Instagram! Really cool.
Considering he's the animator to work the most under Ishizuka's supervision & Ishizuka himself having hinted many times Garp content, it makes for some nice speculation 👀
Nothing comfirmed as of yet, tho.
Today's One Piece 1093 will feature the Law vs BB fight, & Katsumi Ishizuka will storyboard a lot in it. Here's some of his storyboards animated by animators confirmed to participate aswell!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Other great talents will take a part too.
Hype!
@Gaditooo
Superó a todos los youtubers que hacen análisis de una hora solo para un pequeño arco en cuatro líneas para definir toda la serie. Denle el nobel de los otakus a ese tipo!
#ONEPIECE1097
A solid episode! Not in the level of the last ones, but the art was consistenly good thanks to Yokoyama's corrections & the pacing rather nice. Some beautiful backgrounds too. Great new OST for Dragon explaining the creation of the Revolutionary Army!
Really like the compositing here waaay more than in the trailer! 🔥🔥🔥
That's common since that is one of the latest stages of production so it gets finished quite at the last moment.
