The Lion Choker
Two literal pieces of media grounded in realism. Thanks for proving my point, you had to point out the Samurai X film, but every Samurai X how many FMAs, Bleach, & Shingeki no kyojins that japan shytted on.Gaming film adaptations had the chance to learn from failures and developers have more creative input over their IPs. That’s a luxury anime does not have and Netflix’s half assed adaptations/translations with cheap budgets do not help. Bebop was given chance sucked, Death Note was given a chance sucked.
When even r/onepiece one of the most toxically positive places is doubting this, signs are not looking good.
Just dropped a movie that's getting pretty good reception and a series with a huge following that people have waited to return for a long time. Anime is bigger than it ever has been, but it's still barely above the "niche" level overall, and One Piece is one of the harder anime for casuals to get into. I said this already, I fully expected anime heads to hate on this because that is what they've been wired to do with all anime adaptations. I even pointed out shyt I didn't like about the trailer. This isn't even in my top 10 most anticipated Netflix releases. But I'm finna call out hyperbole when I see it 
It went on mine once I learned it wasn't some low effort shyt, Oda is involved and seems like he had influence, people who worked on Black Sails also involved and they actually put bread in making and using real ships.
I'll just move on to the next thing, I'm not so attached to these stories that a garbage adaptation would upset me. I fell off the anime after 800 eps. anyway, got tired of keeping up with it. Now netflix came and said they about to condense this shyt and I want to see how they do it.
