A new movie has just arrived on the Prime Video platform and when it was released, it divided One Piece fans. Now it’s time to find out why.
Like other giants like Netflix or Disney, Prime Video pulled out all the stops in January 2024 to reach the new arrivals. There are cult films, but today we’re focusing more on a new entry that will interest One Piece fans. You will surely be overjoyed to welcome this feature film to the SVOD platform. However, it is important to remember that it has also divided the community, and not necessarily for the right reasons.
One Piece Film: Red has arrived on Prime Video
This is “One Piece: Red,” a film that thrilled audiences when it arrived in 2022. We take that literally because there were performances where it was hell. We particularly remember the preview in which people were screaming and throwing popcorn, in short, not ideal to enjoy the feature film that has just landed on Prime Video. In any case, the film was quite well received by the French press, although not unanimously by all. These things happen, but in this case some people had unfinished business with a character.
And this is where we get ridiculous. Yes, One Piece: Red divided the community well. Sometimes, however, for a reason that can only be described as absurd. It’s Uta, Shanks’ adopted daughter. Obviously it wasn’t appreciated by all fans. On paper it doesn’t matter, we have the right to dislike a character in a work. The problem is that some have even gone so far as to harass the singer performing it. Yes, it’s come a long way, and we hope the announcement of the film’s release on Prime Video doesn’t reignite these debates.
As for the story, we’ll try not to go into too much detail. The initial premise is simple: Luffy and his crew stop on the destroyed island of Elegia. If they go there, it is to attend the concert of Uta, a singer who has become famous all over the world in just two years. What’s special about the young woman is that she is none other than Luffy’s childhood friend and the daughter of Shanks Le Roux. What will happen after this meeting? It’s up to you to discover it on Prime Video.
The anime was also released on Netflix
Whether they are Prime Video or Netflix subscribers, we can say that if they like One Piece, they are eating well. In fact, the Egghead arch has officially arrived in platform service at the red N. The first episode, 1089, is already available, the second will be released on January 20th. As a reminder, this is the continuation of the adventures of Luffy and his gang after their victory in the Wano War Arc. This time they will meet the mysterious scientist about whom there are many theories: Dr. Vegapunk. As Eiichiro Oda’s work has entered its final saga, it is natural that revelations are on the way. We can’t wait to see it.
