Ah yeah that was really good. Very apt of them to use a music box too! OMFG the music at 2:53 or so, VERY Disney-like too! Just got chills from that, very beautiful and regal? Symphonic? It's stunning anyway, definitely feels princess-like! And so tragic, so
bittersweet...
The new team or at least director they got for WCI onwards really did such an amazing job! It felt like they understood what was being portrayed, the emotion, the heart, the characters, the context and it felt like a genuine fan of the series was producing it, much like Wano ofc! The Germa transformation scene was so FUCKING GOOD! too! The bonus musical songs they did and animating the actual songs from the manga too!
WCI was really fantastically handled in the anime, emphasis on "fantastic" in the actual definition of the word too ofc! (Think the Fantasia cartoon/movie and such ofc!)
They made Sanji look so fucking good too! They really hyped him up in scenes like him vs Daifuku too!:
I was just remembering yesterday on how hauntingly tragic/morbidly beautiful it was for them to show Sanji imagining the fallen enranged army/chess soldiers or whatever as the Baratie chefs, during a moment of regret and guilt he had! It was an anime unique scene and it was such a profound moment, so brief but so powerful! Really impressed me!
