Uta -- the most beloved singer in the world. Renowned for concealing her own identity when performing, her voice has come to be described as "otherworldly." Now, for the first time ever, Uta will reveal herself to the world at a live concert. As the venue fills with all kinds of Uta fans -- excited pirates, the Navy watching closely, and the Straw Hats led by Luffy who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance -- the voice that the whole world has been waiting for is about to resound. The story begins with the shocking fact that she is Shanks' daughter.
It may not be the best entry point for newcomers, but One Piece Film Red offers everything fans of the franchise will be looking for.

The movie had a regal style about it, being flashy and emphasizing the key element of music throughout. |
| 178443 | Stephanie Bunbury | Deadline Hollywood Daily | Fresh | — | 2023-10-21T02:16:28Z | 2023-10-21 02:16:28 | One Piece is not exquisite, in the manner of Studio Ghibli, although the fans say the quality here is much better than in the series. It is, however, fantastically energetic. |
| 178444 | Panos Kotzathanasis | Asian Movie Pulse | Fresh | — | 2023-09-03T06:55:16Z | 2023-09-03 06:55:16 | 7 “One Piece Film: Red” is a worthy continuation of probably the most successful franchise in anime history, and a movie that will satisfy all fans of action anime, even those who know very little of the original. |
| 178445 | Emma-Jane Betts | The Digital Fix | Fresh | 4/5 | 2023-07-25T16:59:57Z | 2023-07-25 16:59:57 | Packed with musical numbers and vibrant fight sequences, the movie, while perhaps lost on some new fans, is a striking character-piece and a visual treat for any Straw Hat enthusiast. |

| 178447 | Carla Hay | Culture Mix | Fresh | — | 2023-01-03T23:48:14Z | 2023-01-03 23:48:14 | One Piece Film Red is an exuberant adventure story that will please new and previous fans of the One Piece franchise. Beyond the thrilling action is clever social commentary about blindly following anyone in power who promises a utopian existence. |

But if you have never seen this long running series, you can get some much from the characters, world design & very emotional story ark that you can truly enjoy this! |

Anderson | Common Sense Media | Fresh | 4/5 | 2022-11-15T04:05:37Z | 2022-11-15 04:05:37 | It certainly helps to be a One Piece fan, but even newcomers will find much to enjoy about this 15th feature in the long-running series. One Piece Film: Red is gorgeous, funny, exciting, and even has great songs. |

| 178459 | Brittany Vincent | Decider | Fresh | — | 2022-11-04T23:26:58Z | 2022-11-04 23:26:58 | Not only is it accessible for newcomers... but it’s also a lengthy, engrossing journey that veterans will appreciate thanks to all the character appearances, series callbacks, and implications for the series’ future. |
| 178460 | Sam Stone | CBR | Fresh | — | 2022-11-04T22:04:09Z | 2022-11-04 22:04:09 | Featuring jaw-droppingly lush backgrounds and engaging fight sequences, One Piece still knows how to deliver a thrilling throwdown, and these set pieces are easily the highlight of the entire film. |
| 178461 | Travis DeShong | In Review Online | Rotten | — | 2022-11-04T15:59:25Z | 2022-11-04 15:59:25 | One Piece Film: Red is the latest and arguably the most heavily anticipated One Piece film yet, but beneath its brightly eccentric stylings, it’s not that much more than a weightless, run-of-the-mill romp. |
| 178462 | Peter Debruge | Variety | Fresh | — | 2022-11-04T11:20:47Z | 2022-11-04 11:20:47 | For the faithful... Uta proves an exciting new personality — an influencer extraordinaire and powerful rival to the pirates — who serves to bring back Shanks and his Red Hair gang while steering Luffy and his crew on a new course. |
| 178463 | Simon Abrams | TheWrap | Fresh | — | 2022-11-04T06:00:18Z | 2022-11-04 06:00:18 | Ado and Nakata’s music does, however, make Uta sound like a real pop star, as opposed to the polished but underwhelming songs used in this year’s other musically-themed anime features, like “Belle” or “Inu-Oh.” |
| 178464 | Sherin Nicole | Geek Girl Riot | Fresh | — | 2022-11-03T22:23:54Z | 2022-11-03 22:23:54 | One Piece Film Red digs into the character’s psyches, their trauma, their pain and takes them on new journeys. And you know the backstories are always going to be critical and insane. |

| 178474 | Nathaniel Muir | AIPT | Fresh | — | 2022-11-01T15:49:58Z | 2022-11-01 15:49:58 | The story is a comedy adventure that does an excellent job of mixing in some catchy musical numbers. The animation is a blend of 2D and 3D and looks fantastic. The story can feel barebones at times, but nuanced characters keep things engaging. |
| 178475 | Just Lunning | IGN Movies | Fresh | 9/10 | 2022-10-24T18:20:34Z | 2022-10-24 18:20:34 | One Piece Film: Red breaks the mold of the typical anime shonen film, capturing the magic of the series. It’s confidently a musical, too, with J-Pop star Ado providing several fantastic earworms. |
| 178476 | Cain Noble-Davies | FILMINK (Australia) | Fresh | 18/20 | 2022-10-24T02:33:09Z | 2022-10-24 02:33:09 | Its kaleidoscopic visuals, intense soundtrack, and heart-rending story all synchronise to create a film that reaches beyond what these sorts of franchise entries regularly strive for, and reaps colossal rewards in the process. |
| 178477 | Mariló Delgado | Espinof | Fresh | 4.5/5 | 2022-10-21T21:26:21Z | 2022-10-21 21:26:21 | Besides the musical components, Goro Taniguchi doesn't neglect the action and we have fights, duels, and all sorts of powers to choose from. [Full review in Spanish] |
