Netflix One Piece is FINALLY Here! | Geoff Reacts

Netfix's One Piece is finally here. Was it worth all the hype, or was all my hope really cope? Let's watch Episode 1 together and find out.

[@alchemicpink2392]

"Meatbrothers" is the best translation for Nakama because it is the most uncomfy one.

[@zhijun9550]

Really has that "blowjob brothers" energy

[@Phnx327]

Nikuma?

[@ooooneeee]

It's wonderfully kinky and cursed.

[@3n3my33]

I love how they weren't afraid to play all the goofy stuff straight. There are so many goofy costumes but it all works within the world they set up. I'm glad they kept the blindingly sincere optimism of the manga. I think we needed a character this openly optimistic in modern TV.

[@MrTuas]

The only outfit too goofy was Buchis, but i dont see any way to make his horrendous fit work, my guy just has no fashion style. Genderswapped Sham worked great though.

[@ROBOTPETER101]

​@@MrTuasHonestly, very in character to wear something that awful and think it looks good.

[@Cubicle1]

I'm glad that the main chars actually wear different outfits. I always found it jarring when main chars wear the same clothes all the time, it takes me out of the fantasy instantly.

[@samfisher6606]

I love that we got to see stuff they off-screened in the manga like Zoro vs. Mr. 7. I was not expecting them to make it so clear that Zoro has killed people. It’s more ambiguous in the source material. And I love how they did the wanted posters!

[@ToonGrin]

I doubt you'd become a notorious Pirate Hunter by bonking folks on the head and knocking them out lol.

[@BeNice108]

The moment I seen Alvida kill somebody I was like "Oh, Pell isn't gonna make it." It really is nice to see, because it's impossible to believe nobody dies like in the manga.

[@In-The-Zone]

@@ToonGrin Well they do mention at early in the series that if a pirate is brought in dead it drops the bounty by 20%

[@tyronechillifoot5573]

I actually like how they adapted kuro tbh they went the slasher movie villain route with him

[@BasementLifePodcast]

It was a great story to tell with his design

[@prthedisaster]

That and buggy actually on a circus are great adaptation choices

[@tyronechillifoot5573]

@@BasementLifePodcastyep I’m glad they’re actually adding something to this adaptation that works tbh it’s goofy campy and stylish, also I like they added accents to the characters tbh

[@bushidotestu1997]

It felt like a mix between ghost face and Freddy Krueger

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

Kuro's actor really sold his pure, unfiltered contempt for Kaya in his stalking monologue. 💖

[@PredictableEnigma]

Ok so in the very first chapter of One Piece, Luffy famously says he'll need about 10 crewmates. In this LA adaptation, he happens to be talking to a News Coo, so he instead says "10 people... and a bird" in order to like invite the coo to his crew. Which is cute and of course the bird says no. But also I'm over here like "ODA RETCONNING IN KAROO MAYBE? LET'S GOOOOOO"

[@StephenN.Parker]

In love with the decision to have the character interact with their wanted poster, from Alvida and Buggy who just push it aside to Kuro who cut it with his hand and Arlong tear it down with his jaw.

[@peachpiit]

This is my fav little detail

[@charcoal200]

Legitimately the thing I looked forward to the most whenever a new pirate got introduced. Love that they made them all interact with them.

[@jojoslameerrand9305]

its such a fun gimick and a cool way to sneak some quick character establishment

[@4wheal]

I really hope season 2 has the same thing happen with Luffy, but instead of riding it up, he just looks at it and smiles

[@bumblenbee4013]

​@@4whealit would be a great progress tracker/ beginning of season recap to have each charecters wanted poster tick up in value as an intro thing

[@xNico1412]

Cannot imagine the catharsis of seeing this after you have suffered through every live action they messed up. What a feeling that must have been

[@xsanguine8]

_They_ is too broad a subject to worry about, like someone quoting global statistics. Too many people have made bad live-action adaptations, especially all the Japanese ones where the actors are wearing lower quality cosplay outfits, with the crisp plastic look of Party City or Spirit Halloween bought costumes.

[@pacotaco1246]

Maybe we will get a live action dragonball now that they made one piece real

[@Jeffefferyful]

You didn't mention it in the video, so in case you didn't notice, Bink's Sake plays in the background when Shanks stitches up Luffy's eye. It's easy to miss but an amazing easter egg.

[@elishatea]

That was such a cool moment! I've only seen bits and pieces of the anime (I'm a OP manga reader primarily) but I still recognized it immediately. It added even more emotional weight for existing fans of the series to an already important moment in the protagonist's backstory.

[@thesheepwhisper5068]

So I'm only up to EP 5 and I can't believe how consistently good this show is. There hasn't been an episode where I'm not grinning from ear to ear, or exclaiming out loud (to the bewilderment of those around me) about something happening on screen. Hearing Binky's Brew in the background of the bar scene in episode 1 had me nearly in happy tears. Seeing Jeff Ward bring Buggy to life was astounding. Witnessing Kuro be down right terrifying in the mansion was great. I wasn't expecting the cast or crew to put this much love and passion into the project, but here we are with (dare I say) the new gold standard to live action anime adaptations.

[@In-The-Zone]

Lets not forget Hunk-eye Mihawt, god damn that performance and set-up!

[@bloodysparkles5372]

as someone who could never get into the manga or anime, the live action was a GREAT entry point for me. it wasn't as overwhelming to start bc it's only 8 eps and not a thousand, and it grounded the style just enough that it kept the core aesthetics while making it all just a bit more _human,_ which is something i think i needed. im super invested in this world that never held much appeal for me before now!! i really really hope they renew for a second season

[@martianpudding9522]

I really appreciated that nami sketched out how the red line and grand line work because it took me really long to grasp it in the anime

[@PhoenicopterusR]

The fact that they convey a good amount of information without the feeling of "we gotta show the audience" was appreciated.

[@exceedcharge1]

This show has everything, it even had a better joker than jarred leto

[@TheWillOfJ]

There's so much love and passion put into this adaptation from every angle of production... And i totally understand now why Oda said Iñaki was born to play Luffy. He was! He's just Luffy! He captures Luffy so perfectly, even with his own energy! You look at him and you understand perfectly why people want to follow him... He's absolutely magnetic. I love it.

[@aspergianstoryteller6204]

Since OP is a big name, I hope Inaki and the other actors don't pick up too many stalkers or weird (in a bad way) fans.

[@jamescallanan2443]

As someone who doesn't know much about One Piece but is a fan of Agents of Shield, i loved seeing Jeff Ward play Buggy as just an insane Deke Shaw!

[@genesisfrog]

SAME !!! when I first learned he was cast as Buggy I knew he would absolutely kill it and he did! So thrilled he's been getting so much love

[@sandrosliske]

I was racking my brain trying to remember where I saw him from. Thank you.

[@mwarren3372]

i think the one piece adaptation really capture the spirit of the original series and the casting did SUCH a good job!!! i think the one complaint that i have (is something that i admittedly didnt have high hopes for being in the adaptation) is that the characters didn't ugly cry. i just think that's such an integral part to how oda handles big emotional moments. buT OTHER THAN THAT it's a good fun time

[@BasementLifePodcast]

Nami kinda ugly cries at the end of arlong park. That part hit me the hardest

[@youroshiyoshi8385]

Zorro mentioned during the Whiskey Peak arc that Baroque Works tried recruiting him once, so that's in-line with what we already knew. Also, although the full scope and scale of Baroque Works' activities weren't known to the Marines, they were aware of them as a criminal organization. Crocodile being Number Zero was not known.

[@enlongjones2394]

Also, if anyone would be actually trying to find Baroque Works (albeit failing to find anything concrete), it probably WOULD be Garp.

[@cartoonishidealism582]

There’s a theory that the lady at 2:00 is actually meant to be a pre-transition Sir Crocodile. Honestly… kinda makes sense. The camera does focus on her so she doesn’t seem to be just a random character. But no character I know of really fits her appearance. We know Crocodile was at Roger’s execution, but his face was obscured so we don’t get to see what he looked like back then.

[@braindavidgilbert3147]

Wait crocodile is trans?

[@AntediluvianRomance]

​@@braindavidgilbert3147It's a rather popular fan theory based on the fact that Croc has some vague connection to Ivankov.

[@Kujakuseki01]

Holy crap that was Gordo from For All Mankind!! Awesome! That show has to be the biggest sleeper of the last few years. It’s unbelievably good.

[@AshenVictor]

This Mr. 7's design was only shown in rough sketch in SBS (Ch. 340), but the fact that Zoro killed him is mentioned when Zoro meets Mr. 1 at the start of their fight (Ch. 190). The live action series also puts in that very early hint of a not wholly antagonistic relationship between Garp and Roger.

[@goudawgs]

I think what makes it work for me is they leaned into the world of one piece hard with out feeling like they have to treat the audience like idiots. They didnt feel like they had to explain every little thing and it just worked. Also thank god for the costume and set departments they sold the show

[@Jack-uh2db]

the fact that garp wears his stupid dog hat and nobody in the show reacts to it is just so incredible

[@johnwhiteside4698]

The set design really makes me think of "The Adventures of Baron Munchausen".

[@lorenzoditrolio6680]

One thing I liked is how every pirate interacted with their wanted poster differently. I first thought it was a coincidence with alvida and buggy, but nope, Alton tore his with teeth and mihawk cut his with yoru, nice

[@PhoenicopterusR]

That and how they change the title card to fit what's happening in the episode are wonderful little details.

[@danielsantiagourtado3430]

Absolutely loved it! Godoy stole the show for me! He really is luffy!🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤

[@JaNaeNicole90]

The length of One Piece has ALWAYS intimidated me, so I couldn’t bring myself to watch or read it. BUT watching this video and seeing the sheer joy you displayed encouraged me to give OPLA a try. Five Episodes in and have enjoyed it greatly. Thank you for sharing and hope to see more of your reactions to the episodes ❤

[@ilikethis3203]

I'm three episodes in and I've got to say, I'm shocked at how good this is. A bit rough around the edges overall, but the action scenes are SO GOOD.

[@Silburific]

I was waiting for your reaction more than anybody's. I binged the whole series over two days and I absolutely loved it, but I knew your reaction was going to be gold. And hearing the increasing volume of laughter with each reveal of just how naked Helmeppo was honestly about as funny as the scene itself.

[@missingLEGACY]

Same here, I knew this video was coming and I've been waiting for it.

[@technophobian2962]

The actors were perfect for their roles, the CGI wasn't as off-putting as I expected and I think the way they chose to tell the story was good. I'm not a huge fan of the focus on Garp in this version, but it's still interesting. I also love getting more Coby in this version. Also, even as a stand alone thing for people who don't know one piece it's still great. 8.5/10

[@BlueScarabGuy]

There are so many great things about this show. The sets, the solid effects both practical and CG, the cast (I especially love Jeff Ward's Buggy). But it really is all about how phenomenal Iñaki Godoy is as Luffy. When Oda said he seemed born for the part, there was a part of me that just called it marketing. But no, he meant it. He's the best, I want to give him a hug.

[@DitzyParis]

My mother watched it and she watched around 3 episodes of the actual anime when it popped up in her recommended 😭

[@BugsyFoga]

Binge the first season in a day, it was a pretty fun experience.

[@colorfulcheshire4181]

i finished the live action (for the first time) last night and i was just so emotional in so many ways, I couldn't be happier with how it turned out. At the first signs of other rewriting later, i got a little hesitant, but reminded myself how much Oda praised this and stuck thru, and found myself pleasantly surprised that it gave me a new viewing experience, vs like, watching the anime after reading the manga where I essentially know how story beats are gonna resolve, I felt like I got to enjoy it as much as new viewers with how things were changed up, and I think they were very smart choices to make!

[@Imaginita]

I never watched One Piece because there are certain art styles that just set my teeth on edge, and unfortunately, One Piece’s was one of them. I am currently halfway through the live action show, and having so much fun! Luffy always puts a smile on my face, it’s getting all the right emotions out of me, and even when the special effects look wonky, it never takes me out of the world. (With the possible exception of that one guy with the sawfish nose, but I haven’t seen much of him yet, so I dunno how to feel about it yet)

[@TinyTyranitar]

I loved that opening scene. The anime and manga gave a vibe that the One Piece just became the new goal of pirates. Where as this adaptation really sells that Gold Rodgers execution kicked off a flood, reigniting the age of piracy. I also love the core of piracy being the defiance of the world government.

[@anthonypena3322]

when Luffy ordered, "You go low I go high". it basically calls back to the ascension archetype and the hell archetype that characterize Luffy and Zoro respectively as we know them now.

[@UnknownFilipino]

This Netflix adaptation of One Piece is a masterpiece. I know they can't cover all the way up to the latest Anime episodes, but I really hope they could at LEAST cover until the end of the Water 7 Arc where so much important exposition of the overall One Piece lore is eplained and a very very very sad and impactful moment happens which I will not spoil.

Geoff losing it to Helmeppo cheeks is my favorite thing ever now.

[@epiclyy]

I really hope you have reactions to every episode. This show was phenomenal.

[@BasementLifePodcast]

Not reactions but I am working on a review

[@elishatea]

I never thought I'd enjoy a live action anime adaptation this much, but I'm left smiling after every episode. The chemistry between these characters is some of the best I've ever seen in any show. The actors have clearly put a lot of work into embodying the essence of their characters, but they still feel fresh and grounded. I was actually a bit disappointed with Shanks. I don't know if it was the acting or the costume design or some of both, but I just really wasn't sold on him, and that's weird because out of all the characters in this world he's one of the most regular guys out there. But all of the Straw Hats plus a lot of the other characters are perfect. ESPECIALLY BUGGY HOLY COW I LOVE HIM CHEFS KISS The Shanks thing is a small gripe. My only "big" gripe, which is still overall not that big, is that the cinematography and editing is just often so very.... Netflix. Like some of the colors are washed out, night time scenes are almost impossible to see, so many of the shots are claustrophobic shot-reverse shot close ups. To have such an idiosyncratic piece of media, I want the adaptation to feel different from the norm.

[@gameb9oy]

You were okay with Garp? I get not feeling sure of Shanks, but at least there’s not that much of early shanks to pull from, Garp should have some of his silly side show up first. I mean, he has a similar energy to Luffy in that you should know why marines follow him

[@elishatea]

@@gameb9oy I think him being more of a hard nose worked for the story they were telling with him. I would have appreciated more levity, like when he laughed as Luffy escaped then leaving Syrup Village, but it didn't ruin the character for me.

[@_NIKOS9_NIKOS]

I love how scene where Luffy eats the DF makes it look like as if the fruit was calling to Luffy. Like the will of the fruit wanted Luffy to find it and eat it

[@eriek353]

Finished the season today, they 100% made it just because someone thought there was not enough Helmeppo/Coby fanfics out there

[@eriek353]

(and possibly Shanks/Hawkeye)

[@jb0258jr]

With all the genuine hype youve had all the way up to now, your reaction to the first episode is the persons i wanted to see most! And your happy and goofy smile during this enire 20 minutes says everything it needs to about how good this adaptation is 😄

[@masonl87]

I have no affinity for One Piece. I've never seen the anime or read the manga. I know a few basics due to cultural osmosis (stretchy guy, pirates, that's about it). But I'll be damned if that Netflix version doesn't just cook! I finished it last night and really enjoyed it.

[@ianovenden984]

It’s fun (which at the end of the day is what sets one piece apart from everything else out there for me, it’s just the most fun) and feels like the creators actually have some knowledge and appreciation for the magical story that is the source material- as well as noticeable experience with both anime and film making. The music is lovely and underrated too, it’s a cool mix of the classic motif based soundtrack we’re used to from the anime and the more cinematic pirate music of POTC!

[@dunstonlion1342]

This show was so much fun and my favorite part is how much it appreciates the characters. They don't make light of their dreams or trauma, just presents them and the world earnestly.

[@bushidotestu1997]

I think the thing that I like about the characters is that they didn’t go for 1 to 1 with the originals. It’s like their 4/5ths of the originals and 1/5th their own take on them

[@RoyalCrustle]

Absolutely the best manga/anime live action adaptation I've seen. It's definitely it's own thing, and that's great. As long as it works well, rewriting stuff is absolutely fine. My guess for how season two would work, assuming it would be 8 episodes again, is: Ep 1: Logue Town Ep 2: Laboon and Whisky Peak Ep 3: Little Garden Ep 4-5: Drum Island Ep 6-8: Alabasta Chopper is the big question mark of a potential season 2. Besides his yeti mode being possible to do as a costume, likely he would have to be all CGI.

[@NormalGayBro]

One of my friends said little person in a fursuit and it kinda killed me

[@LobsterSpecial]

I like a lot of the changes and condensing of the East Blue saga they did, but I do feel like the show occasionally fumbles a bit on the execution of those changes. For example, just in the first episode I feel like they forgot to show why Helmeppo and Captain Morgan were villains. Helmeppo was mildly rude to Rika at the bar, but Zorro is the one who escalated that situation. Captain Morgan does string up Zorro for beating up a bunch of Marines in order to coerce him into joining up, but that does seem arguably justified, as Zorro did pick a fight with a bunch of Marines and then beat them up. I could have used a scene of Helmeppo threatening the townsfolk and Captain Morgan abusing his power a bit more. But overall, I liked it. I would happily watch more.

[@jalapenoofjustice4682]

one of my favorite changes in this is how they incorporated the warlord system into Koby's arc. I also love Buggy's circus, it's so creatively fucked up.

[@alyseb630channel3]

I’m so glad the show turned out to be good! I’ve been rooting for it ever since your video about it’s potential. Would absolutely love to see you react to the rest of the episodes. Your joy is infectious.

[@paxtenebrae]

I only watched the first episode because of your enthusiasm, but I ended up watching the whole thing in one night. Really great, looking forward to season 2 whenever we get it. It only gets weirder and crazier from here!

[@Hey-Its-Dingo]

The most popular show on Netflix has a canon asexual main character (Luffy) and a young, trans man playing one of the biggest secondary charcaters (Koby), just further proof of Oda's continued LGBT+ support. 💖

[@DetectiveOlivaw]

Having watched the first couple episodes, it’s wild how well it works! As someone who’s only read the first volume or so of One Piece, it felt like it hits the beats it needs to hit while moving at a natural pace, never feeling too rushed, but getting the major characters into position so we can establish how they work together and why we like them. The action choreography is fun, the shot composition is well considered and comic booky, and the performances and production design are top notch! The only thing that gets me is that, maybe because of just how weird One Piece’s world is, seeing it in live action is always gonna have a bit of that “fan film” energy? But I was surprised at how little it cropped up so far - mostly around Axe Hand Morgan and the snails, really. This is the level of quality in adaptation that I wanted Cowboy Bebop to have, and it’s nuts how poorly that went and how well this is going!

[@beeaggro2593]

It was SO GOOD. The actors nailed the assignments

[@BeNice108]

I do think this should've been more than 8 episodes. Some of it feels rushed, and some scenes are missing context. It was so surprisingly good, though. I want that second season. If they can do even better next time, this could be another epic journey through the Grand Line.

[@sessasidney]

No comment about the narrator?!?! I heard 5 seconds of the voice and immediately new who it was. Dude has THE voice, can't believe they got him to do that

[@deadcard13]

I’m glad you mentioned the props. Not enough people are talking about them. The attention to detail is phenomenal.

[@SS-um8ji]

I’m surprised how much I dug this- aside from some issues I had with the restructuring (I do get why) and the cinematography/color grade, this more than lived up to my expectations. Feels damn good to have the people who had this understand why One Piece works and legitimately cared about adapting it for a different medium. Hope they improve upon their craft (and maybe get an episode or two more for Alabasta), and I’m down to see what they do!

[@trevorv87]

I was waiting to see Geoff's reaction and awesome to see him so happy

[@Lykrast]

I only got excited about it cause of all those hype videos you made, and yeah I loved it! Wonder if it'll get a full video talking about the whole season. Like I'm especially curious about all the restructuring. I didn't watch a lot of the anime, but like I did see they rearrange a loooot in those arcs I recognized.

[@positronixartandlife4545]

I've never watched or read One Piece, seen a few videos on it, but the sheer glee I get from your reaction is more than enough for me to want to head straight over to Netflix and start watching this. Is it silly and comical? Yes. Does it work in the universe we're given? *Hell yes*. Luffy being goofy and energetic just seems absolutely perfect to me, and reading comments from other people stating that Iñaki *is* Luffy just hammers home how brilliantly the casting has been done What really stands out to me and pushes this adaptation to the top is the use of the maps and wanted posters. It seems such a simple thing but the transitions between he map to real life and the wanted posters to the character adds so much character to the whole thing. The discussions of nods and hints towards future storylines also shows that the writers and directors know which direction they want this adaptation to go in Which, speaking of, seeing as there's also been discussion about what arcs could be cut, trimmed down, or woven into the narrative makes me hope that - continuing development and quality presumed - this has the potential to be the quickest way to get into the franchise

[@EmberKatt]

Been really on the fence about this show, but seeing how much you enjoyed it I suppose I'll go watch it

[@richardhendrix1274]

I would totally watch more of these reactions! Even just Episode 2.

[@Ishtah333]

I just binge watched all of this and the characterization of Buggy and Garp might actually be better than the anime and manga. They really went ham with those characters and I love it.

[@7777ale7777]

Liked the show. I'm pretty sure they're probably gonna keep Whiskey Peak and cut Little Garden instead. One is basically just a regular town and the other is a big ass jungle with giant flora and giant fauna, which I'm sure would be hella expensive to recreate. Hopefully they'll find a way to keep Dorry and Brogy though

[@joshuafurr9439]

I am a huge One Piece fan. I eagerly await each new manga chapter and anime episode each week. And I LOVED this adaption. I can confidently say that even if I weren't a One Piece fan that I would still love it. The bad guys are somehow better portrayed in the Live Action adaption. The swearing from them and them flat out killing people lands nicely for being bad guys. The Buggy is PERFECTION. He was my favorite adaption of the whole thing and I hope for more seasons just so I can see his other interactions with Luffy in the future. My next favorite adaption is Nami. Her sassy, kind of bitchy personality early on is spot on. Then Luffy. As you pointed out "that's Luffy". I actually think my least favorite is Zoro, actually. I can't quite put my finger on it, but his character just misses for me just a little bit. I think it's due to missing some of his humorous outbursts during the anime. They make him too no-nonsense in the live action whereas the anime plays off of his no-nonsense attitude to create humor. He's just a little too level-headed in the adaption. I want to see him lose his shit when Sanji calls him "Moss Head" lol.

I was a little disappointed with the wound effects throughout. Especially against arlong. The lack of injury on Luffy made the fight feel less intense. Same with zoros "damage" from his fight with Mihawk. Dude bled like three drops of blood. Besides that I enjoyed the whole thing thoroughly. They have a good thing going and I think if they keep the same people working on it the show will only improve

Your reaction was so enjoyable to watch! Your laugh is great! I never watched the One Piece Anime (I like the "darker" ones) but this live-action is so entertaining to watch and I love it!

[@spencersolonas8533]

I would love to see you review the whole season you have a great laugh and I love your takes

[@josefagomezschmeisser8356]

Such good production, the ships, the sets, costumes, transitions, effects, action choreography and actors. Great.

[@KaijuKes]

Your enjoyment and laughter during this brought a Luffy smile to my face. Nakama! ❤ from the PacNW.

[@171QA]

Your reaction to this brings me joy.

[@Seli.em54]

I loved watching how much fun you were having! I also enjoyed watching it, but I have never seen the anime lol

[@Strix182]

I have... never watched One Piece, it's such a daunting body of work, mountainous in scale. I have a hard enough time keeping up with seasonals. This is the straw that breaks the camel's back to make me want to watch One Piece. Maybe I'll watch this first.

[@brandondavidson4085]

The thing that surprised me the most is how diverse the cast is. Most of the time in live action anime adaptations, like FMA and Death Note, it's just Japanese actors and that negates the whole point of some anime that have such varied characters.

[@valvadis2360]

Finished it today, liked it a lot!

[@Lehmannation1923]

"Not enough land" Hits harder after chapter 1115

[@stormaggeden]

I absolutely loved the Live Action. It was everything I could have hoped and more ❤

[@wendlependleton1844]

Honestly I hope you do a full review of each episode! I'd love to hear your thoughts on the changes they made. Overall though way better than I think we could've hoped for!

[@jfess1911]

i have only watched a handful of One Piece episodes over the years (ironically, mostly the episodes covered by Netflix), but I am very impressed with the live-action Netflix version. I am over 60, and I think I can safely say that this is the best live-action version of an animated series that I have ever seen.

[@nubfairy]

I loved the love action. It was so thoughtfully carried out even with the changes they made

[@tyrrhus5248]

It's not perfect, but it really feels like one of those fan series you could have found on youtube. It really doesn't need to be more, and it's great

[@RayVa0]

This had like a half a billion dollar budget(edit: it's not that high but still) this shit is nothing like a fan series 😭

[@goldmemberpb]

Yeah, a fan project with a budget of about 140 million bucks.

[@missingLEGACY]

​​@@RayVa0$140,000,000. Not quite half a billion.

[@repulser93]

This is like a slightly more cartoony Pirates of the Caribbean, and I am here for it!

[@DanielGaeta13]

This was the best live action adaptation to date. It had my eyes tearing up when they showed the Going Merry.

[@quackmaster1014]

binged it, loved it. haven't watched much of the anime... I've tried, several times. Loved this hope they continue it to its finish.
