I dunno the special was fine, nothing I'd watch more than once, but it wasn't insulting to watch. The animation, for the most part, was nice to see, especially after the lackluster animation in Dress Rosa we had to endure for 2 years.

The voice actors for Olga and her father just didn't do it for me. The father especially couldn't convey any real emotion, even when crying. Olga's felt unnature at times, like you just see her and hear the person reading the script instead of the character speaking.

At least Sanji did something in this special, unlike that last one where he was in a dungeon for nearly the entire thing. I still feel bad for his voice actor. He's barely done anything since his departure in Dress Rosa ages ago, even in non-cannon material he barely does anything.

Gild Tesoro better be something special in the movie, with all the buildup and all. I really hope he's not just another cookie-cutter villain with a lot of build up, someone who Luffy has no business beating (Shiki, anyone?), that just gets beat by some deus ex machina attack from Luffy that he's never used and never will again.

Overall, I'd give the special a 6/10. Worth a look, but not something you'd probably wanna see again.
