"You don't develop an accent" According to my speech therapist, you can. Appareantly, due to me speaking as much english as I do, I developed an "english" accent while speaking german. And it is honestly noticable when I focus on it.

[@BlakeandJeff]

I sit corrected! I did think about it later and it certainly seems like you could, obviously, and we don't know where Luffy has been since he was a kid so I'll chalk it up to his experiences between then and now leading to a change in speaking patterns. Thanks for providing us with your experience!

[@robertbretschneider765]

100% True. My sister, also german, went to austria for a while and came back with a heavy austrian accent, then she went to great britain and came back talking german with british accent. ^^

[@electroslimeEN]

its not uncommon for young kids to suddenly develop a new accent over time. take for example the peppa pig phenomenon where american children were getting British accents

After seeing this adaptation I caught up to present day with the manga and anime, and I'm in my 60s. It's great 🖖😎👍

[@benjaminroe311ify]

As a fan of the Manga and Anime. This Live Action was done AWESOMELY! They had the input of the creator in all aspects and it SHOWS! Amazing job and fun show that catches the spirit of One Piece no doubt. This can be your first. Don't worry!

[@asis3422]

not to spoil anything but: after shanks, luffy goes to live somewhere else with an unruly group (not pirates) it not revealed until later on in the story but it explains the change of accent as someone else raised him

[@thegirlsavior]

ngl i was hating on one piece bc of how long it was. but one day i pressed randomizer on netflix and it put on one piece😭. i had been saying at that time i wanted a long anime since i finished naruto 2 years before that. now one piece will never be topped for me

[@jelanimack2012]

Sounds like my story it honestly made me fall in love with anime culture. Was the anime that actually changed my outlook on life. Took me two years to watch I caught up right at the beginning of wano.

[@stefanderrick1436]

Several things: One Piece has few filler episodes, around 80-90 episodes. The main problem is more the progress of certain episodes of the anime. And there are "movies" that group together the important episodes of an arc so you can watch that to save time. Very good reaction too.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Thanks for watching and we appreciate the info on the anime!

[@jmanuelrm7804]

Well, there is actually a project that cuts all the filler the show has. It is called One Pace (it's a fan project tho) ;)

[@amateurbarnaby]

Or just read the manga.

[@emi3413]

Honestly, what the heck is up with some of these negative, mean comments? Calm the F down, it's literally just two dudes watching a tv series and giving their opinions. As for people mocking the live action, everything went through the original author, Oda, so if he said green light it most probably fits in the OP world. Not to mention that when he started writing the manga he was about 19-20 years old. Even he knows that there are loopholes and questionable parts. It is what it is, nothing is perfect and it's impossible to include every single detail, the actors would grow old. I enjoyed it and made me wanna check out the source material (and I currently actually am watching the anime) As Zoro said: Don't like what your're seeing? Look away"

[@benjaminroe311ify]

As a lover of the One Piece world I'll say they did an excellent job. I have no idea what some pretentious super fans are up about. Besides... most of us fans like it... A LOT.

[@aegonthedragon6341]

It is a well written adaptation. People that don't know the source material or about anime, love it. The ones over thinking it are those who already know, fans. Which is fair everyone is scarred by live action adaptations.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Indeed.

[@code8825]

Hi guys! So I really loved this video, and I just want to say, looking at the comments, there seem to be some negative reactions. Comments like “it doesn’t look like a reaction video, it looks like two people studying for an exam”. I can understand that some people might not like this style of video, and that’s totally respectable, I just want to throw in a counter balance that I actually really love this kind of video. Please don’t feel like you need to fake or exaggerate your reactions and do a big crazy face anytime something cool happens on screen. I love having these kinds of videos where there is a large discussion at the end, you guys are clearly paying attention. I personally really dislike videos that consist of only a “reaction” portion and very little actual discussion, so while not everybody may like this style, please just keep doing what you’re doing and the people who your content does appeal to will come. Keep up the great work, much love.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Thank you, Code! We appreciate the feedback. We know we aren't the typical reactors and have made peace with it. The discussion is the biggest thing for us and everything else is in service of that. If you want a frank discussion about what we've seen then you're in the right place because we never sugarcoat anything and we're as honest as we can be about our feelings. This is truly the experience of watching something with us. Sometimes we make a joke during the reaction but, especially if we're really into something, most of our time is spent watching and listening to the story they are telling us. Always nice when someone "gets" us and what we are doing and derives joy from it. Makes us feel all warm and tingly 😃

[@PantsBobSpongeSquare22]

your threshhold is 851? okay so... One Pace cuts down about 35-40% over the course of the story. so that would technically be about 700 episodes. there you go. no excuses now :) nyehehehe

One Piece is a triving world. It is alive, they have governements, they have countries which have their own culture, and all of them are cohesive with eqch other. The whole onepiece world is moving independently from the strawhats. While the main characters are having their own adventure, the rest of the world are javing their own lives as well. That's the beauty of One Piece, you will be immersed with the world. You will feel like you are part of that world.

[@hardboil4033]

One piece is a manga, not just an anime. Just let you guys know. No time to watch ?, You can read it 😉

[@BlakeandJeff]

Oh, we know. I've never read a manga so maybe my first one will be One Piece!

[@rromano158]

Luffy doesn't want Alvida's ship because, well one it's on fire and two he can't trust the crew. Luffy has an innate ability to choose his friends/crew who are good inside and will be loyal.

[@bibabubobe]

Probably too late now but there is One Pace - which is a cut down Version of One Piece without Filler and faster Pacing

[@jayaniceday3602]

If you enjoyed Star Wars not just for its science fiction, its interesting battles, but because of the sense of adventure, the heart and soul of a character, the trial and tribulations of a character, and the tremendous world building of what the Jedi and Sith plays to the universe and philosophy (Yang and Yin respectively). Then I think you will enjoy One Piece. The plot is different, the style is somewhat different (though One Piece would be one world where Chewbacca would fit in fine), and the philosophy is not quite the same though many values do overlap. But there is one thing I feel both Lucas's world and Oda's world have similarity and that is heart. Hope you enjoy the world. It is a huge one and you are just starting off with the crew in season 1.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Heart is one of the biggest takeaways I had from this series. It was great and very welcome.

[@JamesSun-k7y]

Gotta say. As a 15 year long fan I 100% disagree with whoever told you not to let this be your first experience. I will be suggesting this before either anime or manga as a newcomer's first for now on. This is a great adaptation and is 100% fully supported as your first time or even only way you experience one piece from my pov. And again, 15 year long fan with multiple reads of the manga and at least 2 runs through the anime. I consider it an equal adaptation to the anime, and even more accurate in a couple places.

[@BlakeandJeff]

I agree! I think it's a great entry point to get people hooked and then move on to the anime or manga.

[@atheos.1383]

​@@BlakeandJeffexactly. And again, I'm even happy if you fall in love with the story and just want to wait for s2. That is 100% acceptable for me.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Well, Blake is already starting the anime so I might go to the manga. It would be my first!

[@AkahigeNoAmo]

@@BlakeandJeff The beauty of the manga is, for the most part, you are the master of pacing - you can tackle it however fast or slow you want. The anime kinda forces you into a certain rhythm that starts to kinda deteriote after 250-300 episodes (that is not to say that soundtrack, voice delivery and animation can be phenomenal experiences... just in the nature of it being a weekly anime for a weekly manga, that adaptation there has its own struggles)

[@richardjones5735]

41:00 baseball caps and flint lock pistol with Sailing ship and glitter balls. The best I can say is just roll with it.

[@em5522]

I disagree that this isn't a good introduction. I think this was made for new ppl, esp with how streamlined this is, and I appreciate how it's more faithful to the manga over the anime. It gives more foundation/foreshadowing of certain main storyline points that Oda has a much more clear vision of now compared to when the series first started 20 years ago too. The manga/anime is more exploratory and the pacing can feel a lot slower. I believe less than 100 eps are actual filler (srry, guys). My rating for OPLA overall is 8.7. I think it worked for the medium it used, it holds a lot of respect and love for the original source, and it tells the story it needed to tell pretty well in just 8 episodes. There are even a couple aspects I like better here than how the manga/anime did it (similar to how I like certain aspects of the anime better but the manga will always be my #1 medium). For example, the fight between Mr. 7 and Zoro was only a throwaway line in the manga. The live does have quite a bit I can nitpick, like with how some plot is set up, the delivery of some parts, even some of the pacing and cgi, and missing bits/interpretations I felt should've been included, but overall, I think this works well to bring new ppl into the series. I still highly rec reading the manga, if nothing else. The chapters are really easy to get through and it'll be where all the canon story will be told (except for a small handful of the movies).

[@BlakeandJeff]

Thanks for the info! Blake is starting on the anime so maybe I'll read the manga!

[@em5522]

​@@BlakeandJeffNice! Make sure to pay attention to the chapter cover art when you read the manga. That's where a lot of background story is told that gets missing from the main storyline but then gets brought in and/or mentioned much later (it's actually where the foundation for OPLA's Marine b-plot is inspired from too).

[@BlakeandJeff]

Will do!

one piece is like wine, its getting better over the seasons

[@Monkeey1]

Oda himself [the manga author] said he wanted to make a live action to attract non manga fans and the general public to the story of one piece! so ya its a great entry point most fans will nit pick always i mean i see that star wars shirt haha so i know ya know what beloved franchise turn fans into sometimes haha. the series is fun adventurous and complements the source material cant wait for more of your thought on the later eps this was a fun watch

[@BlakeandJeff]

Thanks and welcome! I'd say Oda and the producers hit their mark. This is going to get a lot of people into the anime and manga and just generally into the world of One Piece.

[@rdrflash1992]

I feel like this is manga accurate, because when I watched it, I immediately remembered important parts of the manga and anime that I had read and watched when I was a kid. I've watched all 8 episodes. Only if you say it's better than the manga, no it's not. If you say it's worse, no, it's not. You can't compare them because they have their own interests. So far, this is number 2 the best. Number 1 is still Alice in Borderland Live action netflix series. and number 3, Rurouni kenshin movie 1-5.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Thank you for sharing your thoughts!

[@Droidd1993]

Number 1 is One piece no doubt

[@mountainboy983]

I've read the manga and watched the Anime and I think it's good. My family and friends on the other hand who have not watch the anime or read the manga loved it. So much so that they keep on asking me various stuff about the world particularly the snails. 😄😆😅 I'm like the One Piece wiki now at home.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Nice! It's a very fascinating world, so I'm not surprised that they want to know more. It's hooked us too!

[@bakuhakudraws5603]

32:00 Yes, the corniness absolutely works in this show's favor. Something that gave a lot of fans pause when we heard One Piece was being done in live action is that One Piece is a capital C 'Cartoon'. Not just the medium in which it's created, but the laws of physics, the worldbuilding, the reality itself. It's like Looney Toons, but with genuine fantasy worldbuilding and geopolitics. Everything about One Piece is cartoonish and exagggerated, which is a really difficult thing to pull off in live action. This adaptation leans into that cheesy/corny factor instead of trying to apologize for or hide it, which really saves it from A: feeling like it's trying to hard and B: losing the spirit of the original. It knows it's kinda goofy, and it leans into that goof instead of trying to avoid it, which is why it works so well.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Yep, they captured it perfectly and we've bought in!

[@HanakoSenshi]

One piece no filler project is called OnePace. Worth it

[@HanakoSenshi]

I love the LiceAction too though

[@Evermore5726]

Just wanted to give a second endorsement to the One Pace project. They actually have been editing the anime on the principle of matching the original manga as much as possible, so you can watch it without missing any of the core story. I think they have completed about 75-80% of the episodes at this point, with a number of individual arcs being finished. So, its not a perfect solution, but believe me, it beats sitting through 5 minutes of recap and episodes that are 90% filler with 10% actual story mixed in (that only really starts to happen much later in the anime though). Definitely check them out if your have any interest in watching the anime.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Thanks for echoing the recommendation. I will look into it!

[@Mr2BonClay]

There is a great fan-made condensed version of the anime. It’s called One Pace So when are you starting? 😂

[@BlakeandJeff]

Haha! I'll get back to you!

[@SolarisPhoenix42069]

You can watch only the live action if you guys want to, that's the point of making live action, it's to tell the story in a different format, plus it's pretty much the same as seasonal anime. Although it's an abridged version so they altered the story a lot, they still kept the main story which is pretty much the same exact experience

[@marirezende8478]

Don't know what those people were on about, the series turned out great and it's a great intro for newbies!

[@BlakeandJeff]

Agreed! I think it was probably anime or manga fans who were anticipating either a flop that would give the series a bad name or a lack of depth to the story that is inherent in a change of medium like a TV series. Turns out to be an unfounded fear as we really enjoyed it and it did exactly what you would hope: it made us invested enough to check out the source material! So it was a job very well done and this series deserves all the accolades it's racked up so far 😃

[@BlakeandJeff]

Woo! The wait for season 2 will be long but worth it.

[@unfunnyman4310]

You should definitely give the anime another try. It definitely has darker themes but at the beginning the stakes are not high because Luffy and the gang are still unexperienced pirates so its more fun adventures but as the story progresses things get real serious at points. As their infamy grows their danger grows with them. So its nice to see the progression from going from nobody's to infamous pirates that people around the world have grown to fear just by word of mouth. Some of those darker things include things like racism, human trafficking, dictatorships, genocide, slavery, and corruption of governments to name a few.

[@s.sharine]

You guys caught so many details for a first watch! I think it’s great that you guys are taking notes and asking such great questions! Totally get that 1000 episodes is daunting. I think the LA adaption did a good job of condensing the OG material, and also ending the season in a good place in case another season never happened, as I think most (not all, but most) of the questions you raised or discussions you had are resolved within this same season. Recently, a season 2 was greenlit and announced as well. Great that you guys are a fan of the anime style flashbacks that flesh out the story because that’s a OP staple and the LA does a great job of tying them into the current story. In the anime, the snail phones are telepathic and had attached receivers, so I think it was supposed to be less ‘murmurs’ and the actual voices came out of the snail mouth itself or something, so I think you’re right that we already knew about the map, so there was no point to listen in for that scene. 😅 Excited to see your reactions to the rest of this season!

You say you know, but not all powers come from Devil Fruits in this series. There are others. The third live action ep villain merely uses a technique. The people in this world are naturally superhuman degree in terms of stats, with the potential to grow beyond human limits. And... well, Luffy's mentor uses something that isn't a devil fruit. Heck, in the anime, the mentioned power his mentor has wasn't even revealed until not long before the series' time skip, called Haki. ...but yeah, Devil Fruits are notable throughout the whole series. They're rare outside the Grand Line, but in it? Whole 'nother matter.

i think it's interesting that everyone kinda have different accents in this series, like garp's scottish(?), and then koby's kinda british, luffy's kinda mexican, zoro also has very slight accent, i think it adds to the 'mish-mash of everything' theme in this universe

One Piece is Wonderful

[@elflaco3697]

Hear me out. Maybe not everyone can relate to the comparison I'm going to make. How does anyone have the argument that the series is too long and that's why they never start. Every story or movie I really loved I've always wanted more... with one piece ,yes it's a long story but once you understand it and that switch flicks in your brain, you get it and want no need more. It's like a drug almost you get used to having it around so abundantly then you catch up to the manga and bam your plug is gone 😢

[@BlakeandJeff]

Oh, for sure. Blake is already getting hooked. For me it's more of the "I don't know if I have the time to devote to watch this entire anime". When I was a younger man with infinite free time and little responsibility then the prospect of starting something with this much content would have been exciting. I could binge watch it for hours a day, every day and be in heaven. On the other side of 40 with less time available it's more daunting just because I would hate the glacial progress that I would be making. Now, that doesn't mean I won't start it. I really enjoyed this series and do want to dive in but I think I'm going to read the manga first and then start watching the anime. I won't worry about how slow I'm going because I already know the story and can just watch it at my leisure. I'm still not entirely sure I would finish the anime before I died though 😉

Was very skeptical about this but I gotta admit, they did their best. This is probably the best anime adaptation. The characters are also done nicely. Some great some decent. As an OP fan, I'd rate this around 7. I guess you guys can tell ho great the anime is if the live action is this good. Two big cons which lowered the rating for me were: 1. Although they say the budget was high, some sets were too small and camera angles seemed claustrophobic. 2. Some major changes were done to the story which I didn't like.

Fair enough, I guess budget isn't the issue. But I'm not a fan of these close wide angles. Maybe I'm comparing it with the anime too much. In the anime scenes/places looked grand and imposing while the live action looks pedestrian.

[@BlakeandJeff]

I understand. In our trailer reaction for this series I called out the claustrophobic camera work and was worried about it going in. Ultimately I didn't mind it but it's a choice and some people are going to bump up against it.

[@heatth1474]

There is one sorta stunt actor, actually. The guy who makes Zoro, Mackenyu, is a very famous Japanese actor. I think he was the only one who didn't audition. He is very good on his role, though, so it clearly was justified.

[@BlakeandJeff]

He's great!

[@jxhide]

No he had to audition. The actor mentioned getting a scene for the audition.

[@pauliinapaasikivi4972]

Helmeppo reminds me of two people. Drago Malfoy and that Targarian guy from Game of Thrones that dies pretty quickly. I can't remember his name, though😂

[@alexandriaking8544]

he reminds me of a mix between aegon from house of the dragon and draco malfoy lol

[@revolrtol]

Captain Morgan's son reminds me of Draco Malfoy.. from the accent, long blond hair to the bitchy attitude, the "my father blablabla" it's all really Malfoy

[@Gottzchalk]

A lot easter eggs from manga to future seasons

[@jojoal7115]

I just found your Channel I enjoyed your reaction a lot so I subscribed, I love the live action as much as the Anime but I never read the manga sadly. I hope we get season 2 and for it to be amazing and the actors and actresses played really amazingly when I watched the live action for the first time from first to last episode I was emotional I laughed and cried it was so good.

[@BlakeandJeff]

[@adamh4h4]

Whatever you do, do NOT google One Piece if you're planning to watch the anime in the future. You'll get spoiled. And recently, theres a "huge" event going on and its a major spoiler. Not gonna say what but be aware please. Would hate it if you got spoiled like many others including me in the past getting spoiled by absolute zero IQ moron fans(yes, there are some "fans" out there who purposely spoil $hit especially if you're some kind of content creator..they're not really fans, just children).

Great reaction

[@potencjalnypracownik2966]

I just realized (i know ton about the lore) that Grap is most likely the highest marine without a fruit and Shanks is only Yonko without a fruit (ecev is you count 7 of them) and wondering who would won if Garp was in his prime or at least closer to it. In his absolute prime prime Garp mopes floor with current Shanks. But how about 10 years ago?

[@miguelamador4017]

So you are droping that here to people who dont know practically nothing, manga or anime?? in the first min they let that clear, why spoil like that here?

[@earthatlantis]

Saying garp has no df isn't entirely accurate, has it been confirmed ever. At end of w7 we see differently imo

[@SapienReach]

U said 1.5 never knew people did that now doing it just for kicks

[@Nekore44]

I was just about to hit the 1.5 when he said that.

[@benjifoxtronaut]

as a 20-yrs fan, I can't fully enjoy the 1st episode (some kinda baggage [?] for the old-timers) like many One Piece newcomers-reactors. but I do agree with you guys, I still can feel it in this eps. and then it pays, it just got better by every episode. I'm really enjoying you guys discussion (and attention to the detail!). cheers.

We are studious people! And, yes, generally the notes are for our discussion afterwards. Lots of info in first episodes.

[@didiumeh64]

If you’re looking for one piece no filler then try watching one pace

[@juicedaninja0001]

if your lazy

[@insatiablehunger2138]

The anime pacing is terrible, did u know jojos is longer than one piece, op has 18,000 pages jojos 24,000 pages now this is just mind boggling jojos adapted 80% of its series in 200 ep one piece has 1070+ ep 💀 like the pacing is terrible. New gen anime adapt 4-6 chapters per ep op adapts .5-1 chapter per ep 😭

[@Tien1million]

Tell me about it, Robin ark was bogged down with damn recap, and those constant flashbacks. I was quick on that skip and forward button. It only gotten worse. I wish they would come out with an edited non-fluff version.

[@plasticpepsican705]

gonna watch it at 1.25 speed out of spite

[@BlakeandJeff]

[@juicedaninja0001]

lol

[@BlakeandJeff]

Still hurts 😭

[@MooN1terra_]

OnePiece don`t have fillers&? What?))

[@bakuhakudraws5603]

One Piece has a few stretches of filler here and there, but very little compared to the majority of other long-running anime like Naruto or Bleach. It is, however, extreeeeeemely slow-paced. Instead of doing filler episodes, they just stretch 1 chapter out to 1 episode, with a lot of long lingering shots, recap, and flashbacks to pad out the time.

[@BlakeandJeff]

Now that Blake is watching the anime he's expressed this sentiment too.

[@MooN1terra_]

@@bakuhakudraws5603 ok let`s say it this way: Naruto has as much fillers as OnePeice has recaps

[@4tutoralcom]

Thanks for your reaction. Love seeing new people get into the series. I know the long discussions at the end is usually hard to do for engagement and channel growth, but i do love a long discussion. Keep up how ever you want. Subscribeing now.

[@4tutoralcom]

Also to the end discussion. My only problem using someone as an AI in movies. Would be if they started making new movies with that person long past the point of profitablity. If it becomes cheaper to generate extras using AI as an example. How do a majority of actors even get hired. And if studios needed a main character for a movie. More than likely they would ask the question. Why do we need to hire an actor if we're paying Harrison Ford for his AI avatar.

[@BlakeandJeff]

We appreciate it!
