[@riceandginger]

SURPRISE!!! A SPECIAL DROP!!! We have never watched any One Piece before, but with all the hype right now, we felt this was a great opportunity to jump in! And we have to say....We are pretty shocked at how much we enjoyed episode 1! Excited for the rest of the season! . Also, to everyone who thinks we should have watched the anime first. We hear you! But, realistically We wont be starting the anime for another 6-8 months (until we finish Naruto, then will do another BIG pole between Bleach and OP to decide the order of our next BIG 3 Anime). So, we will prob forget everything that happened in the live action by the time we start the anime anyways.🤣Excited to compare when we do get around to it though!

This is totally fine coming from a huge OP fan.

Jump in, discover the world, and we'll see you in the New World 😉

[@ricorichardson5945]

Nami hung around luffy because it was the smart thing to do. They both were trespassing, so if it boils down to her saving her own life, she can use him as a human shield or otherwise. It wouldn't benefit her to just knock him out if they have a mutual goal.

[@arandomnamegoeshere]

Yeah - I didn't get anything about Nami that indicates she would choose direct confrontation when there's other options. She demonstrates that she's capable of fighting. But every time she has an alternative option, she's taken it.

[@7thlittleleopard7]

Also, she didn't want him to get the map and just leave without her having a chance to get it too - remember she was there originally for the map and only joined him after he said he wanted it too, so it makes sense she wants to ensure that he doesn't get it. Then it's locked in a safe and people are looking for them so why not take along two guys who can fight well and seem safe enough?

There's actually no reason why Nami would, based on previous characterization, start fighting Luffy in the map room. He's not a marine, he's also sneaking into the base, he's not trying to stop her, so why make unnecessary noise?

[@MouthDrops]

They do change up some things in the live action, introduce some things early or just completely change up some things but yea the whole purpose of the live action is to get a whole new audience to OP. I’m halfway through and I think theyve done great so far, some things even better than the anime ngl. I personally didn’t like some of the early arcs that much and enjoyed what they did with them in the LA.

[@Ledpooplin55]

Anime and manga fans keep saying that the purpose is to get people into the manga and anime. No its not. Nobody involved has ever said that. Why would Netflix spend 20 million dollars an episode so Shonen jump magazine can get more subscribers? They want to make this good on its own. And I think they did that.

[@RocksD.Quebec]

@@Ledpooplin55 Of course they wanted to make it good on it's own but Oda and others know that this is the last chance to make One Piece bigger in the West. The 4kidz dub really gave One Piece a bad name in the West and hopefully this show changes that.

[@nv5116]

​@@Ledpooplin55dumbo Oda himself said on a magazine weekly comments that this LA is his last chance to make OP more popular globally. That's why we said it's for non fan

[@Ledpooplin55]

@nv5116 don't start a reply off with Dumbo if you're going to say something dumb. Do you really think that I was saying that Oda isn't doing this to make One Piece more popular? Even if your reading comprehension is that bad, wouldn't a little common sense just make you go 'wait, that doesn't make sense, so I must be misunderstanding something'. But no, you barrel in and say Oda wants One Piece to be popular? Wow, thats so controversial. Jesus man, of course Oda wants One Piece to be popular, that doesn't mean the live action is meant to get people to read the manga. Thats what I'm saying. How are you not understanding this? I cannot explain it any more simple than I am. I'm saying Oda doesnt care how one piece gets popular, Oda doesn't care about the medium it is consumed on. Therefore, to say that this is all supposed to get people to watch the anime or manga is not only false but an insult to the intelligence and hard work and money of everyone who put this show together. Ffs, learn how to read Mr LA weekly.

[@MouthDrops]

@@Ledpooplin55are you trying to say that I’m saying the LA is for people to get into the anime/manga as well or are you just talking about it in general?

[@HerculesOfHate]

This 8 episode adaptation covers 60ish episodes of the anime and 95 chapters of the manga. It is a very condensed fast paced version of the source material and some very large changes were made along the way. However, it stays very true to the series and manages to really land the essence of the story and still hit major plot points, even while having such big changes. Its a solid 8/10 and really a wonderful starting point for getting people interested in ACTUAL One Piece.

[@ahumanbeingfromtheearth1502]

One Piece Live Action is perfect for newcomers. It is a close adaptation (so not exactly the same plot, but still faithful to the source) that imo serves as a good introduction to the story and its characters. It is a great show, and if it gets your emotions going, just know that the anime is even waaayy more emotional (PD: Chouchou, I understand why your storyline was cut in the Live Action, but the anime will always be your home T-T).

[@linussakariashansenanderse8528]

also as a one piece manga reader who’s also caught up with the one piece anime, this live adaptation was done really well!

[@coco-sh2ny]

right???? they used manga as their guide line, they adapted the manga, not the anime so there's some informations that wasn't mention in the anime but has happened in the manga that was shown or mentioned in live action. I hope there's more episodes. All actors so far is so good, especially Emily who nailed the scene where she's kneeling, crying out arlong’s name, stabbing her tattoo, and the help me scene, sooooo good. I cried in that scene. I don't care about actors who doesn't look like the anime characters. They were wearing the same clothes, with the same hair, with same skin color, that's all fine to me, as long as they can act and actually slays their role well. And they all do. Oda did such a great job picking actors.

[@gauthamvadlamudi3500]

They didn't skip much but you guys are just overthinking about everything and missing out on details or listen to the dialogues which would've clarified most of your doubts. I suggest you to try to listen and watch the episode and not try to over analyse and over think constantly, especially when things are just being setup in the pilot. Let it reveal Every slowly and enjoy the ride, as its pretty well paced without skipping much giving all the necessary details. So, just being attentive and going along with whats being shown will give you more clarity than overthinking stuff. Just a small suggestion from my side that's it. This live action is made for people new to one piece and so they will fill in the gaps eventually, and that's the style of storytelling they are taking. Its not skipping things. Technically this whole first episode is roughly a combination of 2-3.5 episodes in anime with some restructuring and changes. So, it's not rushed in any way... In fact its condensed and gave more time to the intimate conversations even better than anime.. in some cases... By cutting some parts which are not essential for the overall plot. Since you are watching a good adaptation and you didn't watch the anime, don't think about anime.. like "is this in the anime?" Etc etc. I suggest consume it as its own thing, as it is true to the essence, overall plot, characters and heart of the animanga (even though they moved and changed things around to make it fit fir live action and they naied it), so just roll with it and enjoy it as any other TV show. That would be more enjoyable. You don't think of the Marvel comics while watching the Avengers movies.. of MCU... Just treat it that way.

For the one that had the iron jaw, it is never shown in the live action. But, in the anime, his jaw was broken, and he went for that instead of just fixing it for the intimidation factor.

[@sohailsadaqat6684]

In anime there were 2 reason why Axe hand morgon had Iron Jaw, 1- His Jaw got broken trying to catch Kuro (Captain of Black cats) 2- He had butt chin, which don't inspire fear in people (His kid also had that in anime but its too goofy for LA) so you can just think his jaw got broken, so that's like an implant or cast for his jaw

[@ChiaraVet]

26:54 Actually, it´s based on the original work, which is the Manga. The author, Eichiro Oda, doesn´t even oversees the anime personally, but he´s an executive producer of the live action, and he was VERY strict on all the choices made for this show. And that´s why it came out this good. Also, the entire season of the live action covers approximately the first 90 chapters of the Manga. There are actually 1094 chapters of the Manga at the present day. Oda started publishing it in 1997.

[@arield1657]

In my opinion, all of the castings are perfect especially the main cast. Do keep in mind that the author of One Piece was very hands-on with this project and he specifically chose all the casts to fit their roles perfectly, thats why a lot of fans enjoys this live action. Love the decision to react to it, keep up the good work

Yay! I'm so happy you guys are watching this!! The Live Action made a really good adaptation, cause many things you see here it's not on the anime (or not in the same context or order) but it works very well, cause the spirit of it is there, it is fun and adventurous and the characters are really the real deal! On this first season there are about 60 episodes of the anime, which is not as graphic (it's more cartoony), but the story and worldbuilding are masterpieces!

[@eosliostro]

They did explain why Zoro let them arrest him and wanting to leave later. Zoro wanted to collect the bounty but captain Morgan tells him, the offense of assaulting a Marine his punishment is to be hung at the post for 7 days. They both agreed that after 7 days he would be released. After Morgan's son taunt Zoro he tells Zoro that Morgan was never going to honor his word even though the Marine are the "good guys". Realizing he's going to die if he stays, Zoro decides to leave before the 7 days.

[@fallenlogan]

The creator wants people who've never seen One Piece or read it to get their teeth into One Piece and as someone who's been a fan of One Piece since he was 16 it's the best jumping in point for the story and was made with complete love.

[@rosshaikenleonen1416]

I think it kind of works that Nami became friendly with Luffy. They both aren't supposed to be there and she can use her as a fallback if things gets bad or as help depending on the situation. She's alone surrounded by enemies and the enemy of my enemy is my friend kind of thing.

[@xaviermm5506]

Well that's kinda true but she also doesn't know anything about Luffy, and she's supposed to be so smart and deadly, and to randomly follow him is kinda out of character, the anime did a great job on that but to be fair, they needed to hook people in the first episode so I get why they'd do that, I kinda wished they did it in a better way

[@knifejail]

The casting is the perfection in this live action. I am so happy you two enjoyed it. Btw, in the world of the one piece, the last name is announced first, middle name, then first name. So in case of Luffy, Monkey is his last name, D is his middle name, then Luffy is the first name.

First of all I appreciate the honesty and transparency, not like other youtubers who bs around, you guys straight up said that you're taking advantage of the live action and riding the wave. Respect for that Second of all the Live action is great and most of the community is happy with it and yes, it is a great way to get into the show. I was never into anime, but some years ago I watched the Bleach live action on Netflix (horrible movie to be fair), but the plot made me curious so i gave the anime a try. This is legit how I got into watching anime, so yea... its a great way for people that arent familiar with One Piece or anime in general to get into it The show follows the first saga of the series, which is like the first 60 episodes in the anime or smth like that, but they did change quite a lot of things without affecting the overall story and they did introduce things that are revealed much later in the anime. For example the vice admiral that is shown in the Live Action, in the anime we find out who he really is around episode 310

😂😂😂 I hope you guys enjoy it...... but I hope you watch the anime it's waaaay better (obviously)

[@leespn4396]

The anime isn't that good tbh

[@iczzephyr]

Agreed. Caveat though. The anime has quite a few fillers. I always skip them but people have said that One Piece fillers are generally good. If you ever start reacting to the anime, decide for yourself how you're gonna address the fillers. Major thing to note though, most of the fillers aren't canon.

[@Machiavelli2pc]

Meh, I think the live action is better for east blue

[@Cibanti]

The story is good. The anime is not that great, it suffers from the same problems as the peers from its generation (the main one being HORRID pacing with tons and tons of wasted time) which even the current episodes of One Piece still suffers from (as an example the only thing that happened in episode 1073 is that they put out a fire, outrageous). They waste so much time that even if the rest is good it doesn't feel as good as it should.

[@cindybaker8146]

I think the live action does some things better than the anime. Let’s not get too ahead of ourselves

[@LoganP910]

I don't ever plan on watching one piece because of how long it is so I'll probably just watch this live action version with y'all on patreon

[@simple_1866]

Thats a very sad story your missing one of the best anime..I mean best anime

[@nukiesduke6868]

Realistically you can cut like 300 episodes. A lot of them are completely useless filler arcs, non-canon and recaps. There's an episode guide somewhere the tells you which ones you can skip

[@simple_1866]

i hope this show is wonderful for you guys!! as someone whose watched and read one piece, this show is phenomenal! hopefully it lets you love one piece and motivates you guys to read/watch the manga and anime!

[@apollooflight817]

Such a good reaction yall, can't wait for yall to see the rest

[@N5FX]

You guys need to watch the anime when you have some free time. Enjoy the show

[@Woelock]

The voice actors for the Japanese dub of this are the same VAs for the actual anime if you wanted to switch it up and also sort of acclimated into the anime.

[@Machiavelli2pc]

Ah heck no. Not with the live action lmfao.

[@karinax6]

everything about the live action was 10/10 the actors, the acting, the store, even the pacing was amazing. they did leave out so much so I recommend watching from the very beginning when you start watching the anime!

[@peachpiit]

They did an excellent job with the casting! As a long time fan, the entire production, costumes , and casting are so well done it makes me so happy. The first 8 episodes covers about 40 episodes of anime.

[@brandisimo7]

Dang was hoping you guys would watch the anime first, this will definitely ruin the first few arcs.. but I get wanting to jump on the hype train and hope it helps motivate you guys to start the anime!

[@Gothspecialist]

I wish you guys watched the anime too😞

[@Double_P94]

the cast is really well done, and the show itself does the manga/anime justice

[@012gage]

I say that's a good decision to watch this! Cause now you got me as a new subscriber! Thanks for reacting to this and enjoy this amazing series!

[@kxing_]

U guys shoulda did the anime tbh

[@dusky5535]

This is a good gateway drug, so to speak, at least.

[@mbrjs7903]

zoro legit had a whole conversation with axe hand about being tied up

[@darthstigater6642]

People have gone over Niagara Falls in barrels. They are waterproof to keep wine or other liquids from leaking out and wood floats 8)

[@RenatoGPadilla]

WELCOME ABOARD!!! The actors are Perfect! And to answer your question: This was th first 3 episodes of the Anime, with bits and pieces of episodes 4 and 5. As for Zoro escaping, Helmeppo (haircut) told him his father was gonna kill him anyway, so I'm guessing he didn't wanna take his chances. We're glad to have you here! Oh! And remember what Captain Morgan said about how nobody had escaped him... Might come up later!

[@muskaannagra8459]

Yayyy, yall i hope after watching this you guys are able to start on the anime, because even though its long, it is worth it

[@CaliDBan]

Everything is solid. And it's just really...really well done with it's own spin through the entire season. So loving people that put it off bc the length getting into it and it's not shit at all. Your calls were on point, you'll just have to set sail and see! The first season will cover up to episode 45 in the anime. Welcome to the crew! 😁

[@Zinferbuddy]

Yesssss, join ussss. The anime is incredible. I’m very happy you enjoyed the LA

[@thalunizz21]

Yes! I was hoping ya did this.😂🙏

[@edgarcia4794]

A side note is The live action One Piece series also runs in Japan and the voice actors for the translation are most of the voice actors from the One Piece Anime.

[@KajikimanjyouJP]

No spoilers. Thank you for your response to the live-action version of One Piece. I'm happy to see that the two people on this channel are getting good reviews. Personally, I think the cast and actors are exquisite. I've been reading One Piece since it was first serialized in a manga magazine, right up to the same point as all the episodes in this series. I think that the scenes that are the same as the manga and the places that are different are well-balanced. ONE PIECE is like a kind of textbook in manga, and itself stands like a dictionary or bible in life. There are so many episodes that I can't tell you all about them, so this drama is well organized and easy to watch. The manga One Piece has a complicated and long story, even for Japanese people, and has caused many disappointments. It's a work that some people read while supplementing it with anime. It might be a good fit for NARUTO loss who comes after watching NARUTO.

[@Malhaloc]

You can absolutely float in a barrel. People actually do that and go down the Niagra Falls for fun. As for why they brought the barrel onboard, they didn't do a good job of showing it, but it was after the fight. They were most likely looting from the wreckage of the other ship and didn't realize that particular barrel had floated in from somewhere else.

[@montadar1]

Luffy the main character is so lovable. He is overly optimistic, has confidence and can be naive. But he will always win peoples heart. Oda (creator/mangaka of one piece) picked Iñaki Godoy (actor who's playing Monkey D. Luffy) because he makes him laugh and that he embodies true Luffy energy.

just subscribed to the patreon thanks for the content!

[@bksalwys1002]

I am actually excited for new people to experience One Piece with this Live Action. As a OP fan, I know how hard it is to get new fans at this stage of the game, I myself am a fan for 15 years, so I get it. This Live Action did change a few things around, but what matters, which is the world and the characters they keep the same, I guess that’s the advantage of having the original author working with them! So I am excited to see your journey and meeting this wonderful characters and this wonderful world! 🎉🎉

[@gabymdo]

I loved this live action, it's a great way to get to know one piece, it will be a pleasure to see reactions from people who don't know the story.

[@KingOfEden12]

I know One Piece is honestly THE MOST difficult anime to do on a reaction channel due to its +1000 episode story hahah but trust me when I say the story of One Piece is AMAZING ! The hundreds of characters you meet along the way just help draw you in and the world building is top notch ! The whole narrative of the series is that it’s one huge adventure and honestly that’s how it feels watching the anime/reading the manga. A HUGE journey that just throws all the emotions at you. It’s honestly fantastic and I guarantee you guys will like it !

[@WW-ik7vr]

This show was made for ppl who hv never watched it. Fact is ppl who hvnt seen the series probs will never cuz they either don't watch anime at all or the number of eps scares them away. This live action journey is for yall enjoy it and welcome to the THE ONE PIECE family!!!!

[@SuperiorPosterior]

19:36 There's one good reason why she's willing to work with Luffy so quickly-and it is explained in the anime, but only implied in the Live Action: He's her scapegoat. For her, at that time in their relationship, his best use is to be tripped so the proverbial bear mauls him while she makes her escape. And she actually does this against Buggy.

[@explody7836]

Zoro surrendered so he could continue being a pirate hunter because Axe Hand Morgan threatened to jam him up if he fought back. Then, Morgan's kid (whose name is Helmeppo, but I don't think they actually said it) tells him that Morgan doesn't plan to actually let him go -- he's going to let him die in the yard instead. When Luffy unties him, he leaves because he doesn't actually have the option to just ride out his sentence and go on his way. He basically has the choice to either stay there, get tied up again, and die, or go get his stuff and leave.
