All 15 One Piece Anime Movies Ranked

8. One Piece: Clockwork Island Adventure (2001)

Title:  One Piece: Nejimaki Shima no bôken Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure Runtime: 55 minutes IMDB/MAL: 6.7/7.1 Should You Watch or Skip: Watch

While the first One Piece movie wasn’t as good, the second one fixed all the mistakes of the previous release and delivered a great watch. When Straw Hats were taking some time off and relaxing, their ship Going Merry got stolen by a crew of bandits.
Further, as expected from One Piece, these animals are being hunted by some human hunters and Luffy’s crew must save them. This film is regarded as a complete disaster among fans and the only reason you should watch it is Sanji and Zoro’s fight scenes. You can pretty much watch those fight scenes and skip this entire film, saving you some precious time.
In case you want to know the plot of the One Piece 3D movie – One day Luffy wakes up to find his beloved Straw Hat crew members missing, so he embarks on a pursuit to find them. Although this movie is only 30 minutes long, you are better off skipping it. But soon after, Zoro disappeared and the marines came knocking at their door. Now, the Straw Hat Pirates must escape this trap and get their swordsman back. Though the story sounded interesting, sadly the movie was the complete opposite.
Furthermore, it was released before One Piece became a huge phenomenon too. So this film had a simple plot that involved Straw Hats going on a treasure hunt adventure. It was bound to give fans the ‘meh’ feeling upon completion, so don’t waste your time watching this one. It is a definite watch if you wish to relive the pre-time skip days of the Straw Hats.
So, someone who has watched the anime arc should watch this movie only to see the action scenes in top-notch quality. Otherwise, it is easily skippable as it doesn’t offer us anything other than what we’ve already seen in the anime.
When they reached the island, the crew found themselves under attack by the island’s lord. But, he changed his mind later on and asked for their help to find the treasure. As funny as the storyline sounds, that’s how this movie goes. It has some outstanding action scenes and that makes it worth a watch for most of the fans.
So, the creators tried to change up the events of this arc as if they were taking place in a parallel or alternative reality. The parallel world made the story interesting to follow, and in the end, it made this movie a watchable ride. I mean it’s all the same afterall, with Luffy trying to save Nami but in a different setting. On their way to rescue, they find the details about their ship from two thief brothers. Now, upon reaching that island all of the crew’s important belongings like the Straw Hat, Zoro’s sword, etc., got stolen. Thus, the crew had to find a way to retrieve all of their items and the ship before resuming their adventures.
This movie had a straightforward story and a good old animation. The action scenes were great and showcased the talents of the Straw Hats against a fun group of villains. This was the first One Piece-esque movie and it captivated all the fans’ hearts.

7. One Piece: Dead End Adventure (2003)

Title: One Piece: Dead End no bôken Genre: Animation, Action, Adventure Runtime: 1 hour 35 minutes IMDB/MAL: 7.2/7.5 Should You Watch or Skip: Watch

One Piece: Dead End Adventure (2003) was the first One Piece movie to have a run time of over 90 minutes, making it a full-length featured movie. The Straw Hats enrolled in a pirate death race named Dead End and were facing a mighty opponent this time.
What made this movie a good watch was the villain, Gasparde, an ex-marine who worked as a vice admiral. He had a powerful devil fruit and a pretty cool sidekick, a bounty hunter named Shuraiya. The Straw Hats were facing a tough challenge here, but did they win the race? For that, you need to watch the movie and see for yourself. Well, this marks the end of our ranked list of every One Piece movie that has come out so far. These films come out every two or three years and since Film: Red came out in 2022, we can expect a new movie soon. The crew accepted it but there was an unresolved mystery about the place and its people. So, what awaited the Straw Hats was the rest of the movie. This movie was said to have a darker tone and we don’t want to spoil anything. This is easily a must-watch One Piece movie, and you’ll know why once you complete it. With that said, you could pretty much guess the plot of the movie but the game changer here was the coolest scenes of Straw Hats in the blistering animation quality. It was an incredible ride right from the start to the end and offered a great amount of fan service as fans wanted. So, this film is another must-watch on our list. Uta hosted a concert on an island and the Straw Hats visited the concert but things didn’t go as we expected it to and it took a huge turn. As we mentioned earlier, the show stealer of this movie was Shanks and of course Uta, with her banger songs.
While the songs can be a little annoying as there are a lot of them, which occupy the first act of the movie. The final act was when things started blasting off the roof, we assure you that you will enjoy it a lot. There were Gear 5 easter eggs here and you could also catch a glimpse of the legendary haki powers of Shanks.
But there was another mystery about this strange competition and it all got revealed when a certain character was introduced. As the plot suggested, we got to see most of our favorite pirate crews and even marines all under one roof.
Whilst the story may sound crazy, the Avengers endgame-esque lineup of favorite characters never failed to steal our hearts. The action scenes were wonderfully crafted and many characters showed off their powers in this movie. So, for all the anime fans out there, this is truly one of the best One Piece movies you shouldn’t miss at any cost. This movie showed us the devil fruit powers of Shiki firsthand. The Straw Hats were facing a mighty challenge, and it pushed them to the next level. Even though this movie was not canon, everything that was revealed about Shiki was canon. Therefore, it was totally intriguing to see the crew against a former member of the Rocks Pirates. I think fact alone is more than enough for a One Piece fan to start watching this gem of a movie. This movie had a heartfelt story involving the former marine and was a tear-jerker in the end. As for the action, you get plenty of it; not just from our beloved Straw Hats but also from the admirals. The villain Z was so impressive that many fans started recognizing him as one of the best One Piece villains. This One Piece film earned the mega-blockbuster tag and is a must-watch One Piece movie for all the fans out there. There are already many reports that Toei Animation is working on a new One Piece movie that will be announced shortly this year. In the meantime, what is your favorite movie of all time?
