One Piece Strong World - Wow, this movie was well worth the four year wait. It was great. I would say it is by far the best One Piece movie, but that isn't saying much considering its competition, but this was great. Characters did not go out of character (if that makes sense), the story was well told and fun, plus it as action packed. Not just that, but Ian Sinclair was amazing as Brook and I really hope Funimation has licensed the rest of the series so we don't have another year and a half wait between volumes (plus, so we can get to Brook's introduction). I'm giving this movie a nice 9/10 stars because it was great.

The Devil's Carnival - The first time I saw this, I hated it. I love Repo The Genetic Opera and wanted something like that. This time around though, this movie was much better but I still have some issues, specifically with the Kiss Me song. That scene just does not seem to fit at all with the rest of the movie and feels like it was there just to give Alexa a role. I do like the idea they were going for and the last 10 minutes of the movie are awesome (love the Devil's invasion song and the one during the end credits about the ship). I do still think the movie feels short changed though because it wanted to tell a story but 55 minutes is way too short to tell it. Overall, I give it a 7/10 this time, but still a little skeptical of where it is going to go.

I thought it just destroyed her as it made her boring. She was a woman who could hold her own without having any powers in the first two movies. Here, she just becomes Zelda with super powers.

Man... you guys are making me feel badly about liking this movie.

Don't feel bad for liking it, I will still own it since it is canon in the movieverse.

I had no problem with the twist itself, it was what came after that I had a problem with. The movie spent 2/3rds with this great build up from a credible threat and then after the twist, it spiraled down hill into a predictable rehash of Jebediah and Hammer combined with every cliche known to man.
