Just wondering what people who have watched Netflix's new One Piece series think.
They don't have the greatest track record with anime adaptions so I'm afraid to watch it. I thought Cowboy Bebop was alright. Although they kind of butchered Vicious and Julia, imo, the people who played Spike and Jet did well enough that it was able to sustain my interest for awhile but not long enough to finish it. Death Note was barely like the original at all. The only good thing I can say was Lakeith Stanfield's L portrayal and Willem Dafoe's Ryuk.
But this series seems to be trending, so maybe they've finally done it?
The cast has really been the selling point for me. Only 3 episodes in, but everyone has been exactly the right choice
As a One piece fan I say i it was really good, there were minor things that were weird but overall it was great.
I didn’t really know anything about One Piece until I watched the live action show but it was a lot of fun. The biggest thing for me was the scoring. It’s well scored and has the same swashbuckling feel as the original Pirates of the Caribbean movie!
Definitely a lot of fun and worth checking out!
I don't feel too strongly one way or the other. It's alright. You can make up your own mind about it. Anime fans tend to circle jerk a lot of things. If you like it, cool. If you don't, cool.
Yes. I'm a fan of the series and I liked it. I watched it with someone who doesn't like anime and they liked it. I'm legitimately excited for season 2
I didn't watch the anime but have always been curious about it. Ended up watching the show with my daughter and really loved it. It's unapologetically happy.
Its really good. I was familiar with the anime but had never watched beyond the first few episodes and i loved it. I watched with my brother who loves the anime and he agreed. The casting is really good and the heart and soul of the characters are intact.
Very good. I'd say its the best anime adaptation I've seen. It managed to translate all sorts of goofy ridiculousness without trying to make it look serious and without it being distracting or grown worthy. I haven't watched the anime but I know Luffy is supposed to be kind of annoying in it, in this he was just a great happy character and relentless optimist that without being delusional.. It was a really fun show.
I’d say it’s the best anime adaption I’ve seen
Clearly you’ve never seen Pretty Guardian Sailor Moon

It's possible to get really anal about the things that they've cut out to keep things moving, but honestly I was blown away by how well they've transitioned the feel to live action. Everything about it is slightly hammed up in a way that really helps sell the fantasy, and the cgi really works.
I think its good for what it is. Im not the biggest fan of the casting of young luffy, but it doesn't detract from the story much. It does Villain casting very well, Easily a fan of how Buggy, Mihawk and Kuro to some extent.
It’s ok. Not bad, but not great either; and that's pretty good for a manga/anime adaptation. The adult characters were all good, as well as the villains. The guy who played Usopp was the weakest actor IMO. They also have an interesting choice of camera angles. Not sure if the super zoomed in shots of everyone’s faces was intentional, or if it was a budget issue, as I believe they had a pretty large budget for this show.
I did notice the anime has shots like that, but it doesn’t translate well to live action IMO.
I saw a clip of it, and watching an actual actor say 'gum gum' was.....embarrassing
I still want to watch it, but probably more to laugh at it than with it
I really liked it. I haven't watched a ton of the anime, but I have watched more of it than the first season of live action covers.
