This was fire. I’ve never watched One Piece before but this made me want to start watching to see what happens next.
Hollywood is Making a Live-Action ‘One Piece’ TV Show
- Thread starter Bryan Danielson
- Start date
Yeah, as a long time One Piece fan (been watching it for damn near 20 years) this was great. Surpassed expectations...I' d probably give it a 9/10.
Casting was better than I could've imagined - The Straw Hats are all great, but Buggy and Mihawk in particular stole the show. Only casting I have an issue with is Ben Beckman (even though he's not a major character) and it's only because the actor looks
compared to the manga character.
Really, my only issue is that Captain Kuro got a little too cheesy at times
They sure did give Garp/Koby/Helmeppo a lot of screentime in this, way more than they got in the early manga. I'm not mad tho.

I'm a proud One Piece hater and I really enjoyed this. The anime cringe went into overdrive in the last episode but they earned it. And the original theme drops were a great touch.
My biggest issue was how Koby looking so submissive and breedable. Isn't he a child? And what's that playing him?
Aslo why is Arlong throwing back a bottle of liquidz vibing to trap music....cuz the actor's Black?
This was alot more violent than its kiddish themes and they dropping F-bombs. who's the audience?
Probably in the top 3 anime adaptations ever. I can't believe we live in a universe where One Piece had a better live action adaptation Full Metal, DB and fukking Death Note
you One Piece cultist won't ever stfu now

4-5 is what any show should get to tell a story (although I doubt this will last that long), like GoT this will have to breakaway from the manga at some point and do it's own thing in order to complete it's story
Although i've known of the IP for what's gotta be a couple decades, i've never watched or read anything related to it... the anime just looked kinda stupid...
... but perhaps I was mistaken, because this Netflix show was incredible
Goofy as fukk but a lot of charm to the characters and their backstories. And you could tell they put a lot of effort in the special effects and stunt work. The villains were fun and had a lot of charisma as well.
As for the main cast, my favorite character was Zoro. Luffy kinda reminds me of Gon from HxH, not a 1:1 but a lot of that idiot charm and heart. The actress playin Nami was great too, and is pretty as fukk. The cook was a nice addition at the end and plays well off Zoro. Usopp was a bit cringe-worthy ngl but hopefully as his character grows he'll be less of the cowardly comedic relief.
I'm in for a season 2.

They haven’t shown the One Piece yet, but we at least know the name of the island where it’s hidden and how the main characters can find it
can't imagine americans having the patience for that. wonder what the series bible for this live action looks like. obviously can't do 30 years of live action, so i wonder what the grand plan isNot even close, probably another decade of the story to tell

This is my complaint. They really understated Luffy's monstrous strength being his main asset and the underpinning of his confidence. Live action Luffy is just stretchy.They didn't really showcasing Luffy strength though. Zoro looked way stronger than Luffy. In Anime he punched the Sea King and set this the tone of his strength
Luffy stomped East Blue in the original version and wasn't an any trouble outside of almost drowning at Arlong park due to his own stupidity. This version had him almost die to Buggy and even struggled with some fodder marines
