Audience Consensus
Audience reviews are mixed, with many finding the special to be a mediocre prequel to 'Film: Gold'. While some appreciate the adventure elements and character screentime, others criticize the uninspired story, annoying characters, and filler-like feel. It mostly succeeds at hyping up the upcoming movie, but doesn't stand well on its own.
Strengths
- Provides better screentime among characters.
- Exciting and thrilling adventure elements.
- Beautiful art and fluid animation.
- The Straw Hats each play a role.
Weaknesses
- Mediocre story, not intricate or detailed.
- New characters are unlikable or annoying.
- Feels like a long, dull teaser or filler episode.
- Bland interactions between the crew.
- Sound is average and unmemorable.
