So as a manga reader and anime watcher I can tell you this (1) A lot of the clothes come from color spreads (2) Changes were made to condense entire arcs into one episode and (3) While also trying to please us fans theyvare also trying to bring in new fans to the series. It's not the greatest show ever but its damned good for sure and people just want to hate on it. This LA series is #1 in multiple countries, broke a curse, and broke multiple records already. Ik everyone wont like it, ik some fans of the manga/anime wont like it, there's fans like myself that do and that's ok. I'm more happy that One Piece is successful in all three categories Manga, Anime, & Hollywood and i love that more eyes are on One Piece.

[@captaintoet1983]

[@avocaza1393]

It was bound to be somewhat successful, at least more so than other anime to live show adaptations, with all the marketing and brand name. Even now, some of the hype is due to fans lying to themselves that it is a great show. I don't know who is telling the truth and who is spreading fake news just to make the show successful.

[@Bendylife]

I'm definitely not on the side of "this is the worst" but I'm definitely not on the side of "this is the best!" I have a feeling that next season will not have as big of a reception, unfortunately. I look at it from the bare bones of what is the quality of this media, and from my perspective as someone working as a storyboard artist. It's not the best quality show, and while a bit of fun and unique to those unfamiliar with the IP, it's very rough around the edges with questionable direction choices. It could have been so much worse, and in general it was interesting, but I don't see them getting farther than a season 3, at least if it stays at this quality level. (Keep in mind, OP is internationally loved already and while some fans loved it, lots also didn't, so a good number will most likely not continue. Watch numbers don't necessarily translate to likes, so those numbers can't really be relied on.) I think its important to remember that those that are voicing their dislike are doing so because of their love for One Piece. They probably aren't seeing what made them fall in love with the series, or are scared that what was changed or missed will changed what they loved later on in the plot. Most fans want to share what they love

[@CMfuell]

Tbh if this came out at a time that several other massive hits were going, and not during a time where major studios and IPs are tanking left and right, this LA OP wouldn't have made much noise. It's not terrible, but it's also not very good. It feels like a B movie and there are far too many issues to just give it a pass on. Anything from 4/10 to 6/10 is easily justifiable, but 8, 9 or 10/10? Your just fanboying.

[@Bendylife]

@CMfuell yeah I totally agree with this take. I think a lot of people also probably don't remember much of the beginning arcs, also are scared that if they complain they will shut down the show, which could have happened with enough negative feed back, but the idea that it will also get better with overly positive reviews is slim as well. This is Netflix, they aren't going to spend more if people like it the way it is. Just from an objective look, there were a lot of mistakes in filming and the story really was all over the place. Quality could have been much better.

[@BookOfMoonY2K]

I honesty feel the majority of people are comparing the success of the manga/anime and seeing how mostly accurate it is, therefore it must be good! There are key elements in anime and manga that LA doesn't have that allow a story or something like Luffy turning into a balloon to be believable. The vivid colors of the anime, character proportions, sound, and the ability to cut much faster in those mediums all contribute to world building. Look at how Studio Trigger flipped the script with Cyberpunk Edgerunners and used animation to make something unique in its own way. The clean uniforms was the first of many examples to break the immersion of having me believe this was a real pirate world. I also find it hard to believe a world out there exist where netflix reads a script for episode 200 yet alone 1000 and doesn't have to make major changes. On the other hand, I am happy that the show is getting much more exposure I just hope it is getting more people into anime rather then steering them away.

[@Jin_Zhan]

I've been following one piece for 20 years, and had the lowest expectation when watching it, and was pleasantly surprised. Is it the best? No. Is it cringe? A little. Is it cheezy? Of course there are some cheese. But the most important is, was it fun to watch? YES. But isn't that also what the original one piece is? A balance of seriousness and goofiness and fun. And you can tell that they actually cared about the product and put a lot of effort and small details in the show, that you'll have to REALLY know One Piece to catch it. So, over all, I enjoyed it, but it's okay if others didn't I can understand why, because i'ts not one to one, but IMO, you can't do one to one in live action, and for now, I think they did a decent job here.

[@raifthemad]

The plot can be cut and mangled. I don't really care, but changing characters into something different, is what makes it not OP for me. And the main character in this show isn't Luffy. It's some cosplayer, that looks a lot like him, but is way more considerate and aware about people and events around him. Doesn't just blurt out what pops into his head, doesn't just do whatever he feels like. And without Luffy, this is not OP.

[@TyRendition]

I personally rate the live action a 8/10 as a OP fan i felt like this truly captured the spirit of one piece without hating on the source material. There were some flaws like fast pacing, some removed important scenes, and the background characters feeling too normal while the MCs stand out ridiculously. However, those flaws feel small compared to the positives like setting up the new generation surpassing the old theme, koby and helmpeppo dynamic being a great highlight, syrup village arc getting a overall upgrade, inaki bringing a hard character like luffy to life, and many more stuff. I feel like with a season 2 they can perfect their formula and bring out something truly great.

[@yohaneslouise2961]

To me personally, as a fan who has lived much longer than most Gen Zers who've just started this series, whether it's the original or not, I have to say that this is a pleasant surprise for me. The fast pacing was meant to be done because, let's face it, you cannot make it out 100% the same as the anime. To be honest, I do like this story a lot because everything makes sense and there is much better writing. The original one, if I have to say, is full of cliché stuff that is supposedly enough if Oda wants to, but he can make it better and even more practical with its approach to the story itself without making it too much of a drag. I get it; every part of it has to be synced, but not all of it has to be revealed, or even too much info on the story. This one covers perfectly by giving us the perfect amount of output without taking the crucial input that has to be put in. If people would like to say something like "Oh, but we don't get to see Django, or even the 3 kids that's supposed to be Usopp's first crew, or even the most touching part is about the dog that protects the owner's pet store, WE WANT THAT!" if you are one of those people that took a liking to that crappy bullshit cliché stuff, then I suggest you don't watch the live action, period. Perspective wise, Oda from before and Oda from present, in which he has already been mastering his craft for 20 years in writing and drawing, must have a reason why he agreed to change it because the story in the beginning doesn't make sense because there's so little of a background for that character that he can do at that time, but right now, it would be an incredibly stupid reason if you want to stick to the original material, which I already said based on the fact that there is not much information or even a solid background. It just doesn't make sense if you don't use any resources that you have, especially for the world that's been established so far with its massive background story that you can lay it out in the beginning without making that much of an impact but still meaningful, but somehow people who watch One Piece or are fans of it don't like it but are still stupidly stuck in the past. It just doesn't make any sense. It's like you want to watch a 90's writing style of story that doesn't have much information just for the sake of nostalgia, while the actual facts are that you can make the story more plausible, updated, or even much more sensible but still meaningful to the standard of what we have now, which arguably can still be better than the old ones. It's just a foolish attempt, an insult to a writer, artist, or even any creator such as Oda-sensei. Let me make a quote from one of my favorite artists, Queen. Freddie used to say "Do whatever you want to my music; just don't make it boring", Isn't that what Oda-sensei should do, especially with his old stuff and the fact that he owns it? If he didn't do it, I would be questioning his credibility as a writer more than ever.

[@Bendylife]

I agree 100%. Luffy in the anime doesn't talk nearly as much as his LA counter part. Luffy watches people. He watches in silence as he makes his judgment and that was totally missing in the LA. Also the idea that he would sneek into a base or make a bet with Nami felt so out of character. It was so incredibly dark to the point where i couldn't see everyone on screen. Zoro was also bizarrely emotionless to the point he comically has no expression when he randomly gets knocked out by a bottle.

[@Rctfy1]

Inaki (Luffy's LA Actor) actually tackled what you've talked about Luffy's character and both of you have the same opinion. I just think that the problem is how the script, camera angles, and the pacing (too fast) is set for the cast. Some of the scripts doesn't really resemble the cast but the Live Action is still enjoyable and I love it haha (I'll give it 7 or 8 out of 10)

@@Rctfy1 I honestly think the actors did the best they could and it was more than likely the director/writers that dropped the ball in places.

Luffy not dying from ingesting the poison is a big error from the showrunners. He's definitely not immune to poison as you'll see later on in the anime. Showing his grandpa so early was also a big mistake, it cheapens the reveal that Luffy is related to a legend of the Marine. Here we haven't had the time to properly scale the world they're in to truly appreciate how important this revelation is. And I agree with you, the eyebrows drive me crazy too, especially Nami and Shanks when all they had to do was to cast two redheads. What is it with Hollywood hating redheads so much? I also noticed just like you that they did everything in their power to avoid showing Luffy's powers too much, probably because there's no way not to make it look ridiculous to a degree. They won't be able to keep doing that though if they really want to go far into the story. The fights are also kind of cheap. It's okay in this arc, but with Crocodile & Baroque Works coming, they absolutely need to recruit a high level action director for season 2. Speaking of which, good luck to them adapting Chopper... Overall, it's a decent adaptation, it was clearly made with love for the source material and it's got good things going for it, but ultimately it's kind of pointless. It doesn't do anything that the anime doesn't do better and it rushes through the story more than anything else. I give it a 6/10.

[@FoxenAnime]

Ln was 2004 Manga 2014 according to wiki

[@AionShanks]

@FoxenAnime ah yes you are correct, light novel was 2004 with a few illustrations inside. The manga started January of 2014 and finished the same may. But still technically it is a manga adaptation as the movie came out after that may-june when the manga was already over

On the subject of eyebrows not matching the rest of the hair, it's more common than you'd think. As a mix of Swedish and German, my mom has blonde hair with dark eyebrows, and my dad has brown hair with blonde eyebrows (I have blonde hair and eyebrows btw).

Possible hot take/unpopular opinion I personally think the Speed Racer movie is one of the best live action anime adaptations, but I know perfectly well that it could just be my nostalgia talking.

[@anosvoldigoat666]

agreed tbh i would watch that over one piece live action the live action gintama and roruni kenshin movies are also good but they arent as main stream so often get overlooked i wouldn't say op la broke the curse ppl speak about bc its gaining traction bc it gets way more promotion and bc netlfix

[@malachiowens3423]

Isnt sanji's actor a natural blonde?

[@KongGig]

One problem I had with the live action was that all the colors were very brown, dark, grey. Almost Cod ich. Something that is a big contrast to the Anime. Yes, it is a live action of which it is impossible to get an exact copy of the anime, but they could have at least given the show more vivid colors, may it be colorful places, Clothes or use of the camera editing heck even doing scenes during daytime would have help alot.

[@rew8382]

the riskof doing that is, that it very easily ends up looking like cosplay costumes

It's unfortunate that other live action adaptations get hated on but this show gets loved just because it is OP. People lie to themselves that this show has good story and cringe parts are quirky/campy, which makes the show fun. Meanwhile, the same cringe parts from other live action shows get blasted for being cringe. Man, OP fans are straight up nonsensical and weird just like the show.

[@insatiablehunger2138]

Cuz it’s op ??? U clearly weren’t here for the trailers it was hated on by everybody, heck out of the 3 shonen which get hated on the most??? Op they constantly trash 🗑️ the series. And it makes sense ppl want edgy emo shit they hate it when things look goofy and the original material is goofy. This isn’t a perfect 1-1 there’s straight up so many things they cut off, as it would cost Disney lvl budget to accomplish

[@jasonroman-deleon8152]

Honestly who ever played Zoro can get it respectfully

[@LacTose90]

Same

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

No worries about not knowing Usopp is supoosedly black. There is nothing to point to the ethnicity of any of the Straw Hats, all the race stuff was made up. Oda has done literally nothing to back up luffy being Brazilian or even Zoro being Japanese.

[@GotoMaki4Micah]

i had wondered when all of those race details came about. just recently suggested by netflix for him to approve or when he wrote the story many years ago. people seemed to be up in arms so i guessed it was just recently forced in.

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

@@GotoMaki4Micah I dunno what prompted it, but all the races seem arbitrarily chosen and don't add anything to the characters. Especially in the live action.

[@Dionysos_____Alters]

Huh? You never read the SBS about the Strawhats nationalities?? They all are quite accurate. What pissed me off, what was the choice for Nojiko. I dont get that one

[@BaldorfBreakdowns]

@@Dionysos_____Alters I am directly referencing that. Oda said their nationalities. That's it. There is no character traits/habits or anything that would allow you to make that deduction yourself. Anyone who think Luffy is Brazilian is basing that singularly off Oda saying so. Nothing in the anime or manga would suggest it. You cannot know this on your own. There is no evidence. You *must* be told by the author. Their ethnicities don't further develop them or add any conflict to the story. There's literally no impact on the fictional world of One Piece. Only the real world was effected by this knowledge. It's utterly pointless.

[@Dionysos_____Alters]

@@BaldorfBreakdowns That's a fair point. It's more about looks than character traits or habits. How can you describe for exp. "Swedish character traits"? Or Brazilian behaviour?

[@Soulcalbiur1123]

Not wrong with some of the changes I was like why? But I’m also with everyone else, it wasn’t the worst adaptation of anime to live action. My god DBZ was way worse.

[@flowhannesburg1912]

The live action was awesome...rewatching it with Japanese dubs now and it's lit....

The problem with the Japanese Dub is there are no English subtitles for what they say. Only English subs is for English version. The Japanese Dub cast actually changes the words a bunch and there is no way to know what they changed..

i have no attachment to one piece bc the anime was too long . i watched 120 ep and even so i think the LA was great.

[@user-bl2lr4ns8j]

Same here. It's too long for me to get attached. hunter x hunter is the longest I properly watched with detail. and completed naruto too(not with too much of detail by excluding fillers) But this is just too long.

[@darkduck3677]

The guy who plays Zoro reminds me of Dean from Supernatural.

[@Ruleyy]

I agree the things they changed were a major part later on in one piece. Problems i have is how dark and serious it is when its the total opposite at the beginning of one piece. Garp... dont have to say more. The power scaling is already garbage with nami beating marines at the beginning of the series.

[@symphonixblades]

"How dark and serious it is" well this isn't based in the anime, this is based in the Manga which is darker and more serious sometimes than the Anime, the anime got nerfed in some things

[@Digi-Dev]

As a OP fan, therr was a lot og issues i had. Needless changes to characters, plot lines etc. The lack of Hachi and and Luffy knowing that character is just gonna cause issues later in the story I'd imagine

[@gaminginvirinch3339]

If luffy acts like goofy like in original first of all they would ignore him

[@raulrojas9253]

OP fan since 2004. I think the live action is just Ok, You don't have to say "I love One piece" every 5 seconds, this is something this fandom do constantly and are scared to not support it, like come on, thats stupid. Is a 5 out 10 show. Of all thing they could adapted to live action why pick one piece which is one of the most colorful and crazy adventure Mangas of all time? It just doesn't work. Sanji was probably the best character. Also no, luffy doesn't meet garp until Episode 300 plus in Return to Water 7 mini arc.

[@shigeo__]

I don't know man Oda himself wanted the live action and I don't think anyone have a right object him

[@gJonii]

5/10 is quite harsh. I don't have any particular attachment to One Piece, tho I watched like 300 episodes of it like 15 years ago... But, this show got me excited. Shows rarely do that to me. Haven't watched all of it yet, but it's been just so nice. It has moments and characters from the anime as nostalgia bait, but it just genuinely functions as a good show. Good pacing, great characters, and a world that feels oddly alive. No idea about the budget but it feels to me like they're squeezing a lot of value of the budget they have, things are shown in very effective ways. Like, Luffy superpowers remind me of 80's movies, the effects are expensive, so you use all kinds of creative tricks to get maximum oomph out of those, combine practical effects. As a result it just feels so much more real than some purely CGI thing.

I mean the early chapters up to the Arlong arc did feel like a small world(until we get to Chopper where it does become a lot bigger in terms of what will be explored) but this adaptaion makes it even smaller and on the topic of coloring eyebrows: Yes they should be colored to match the hair IF they also had it in the source material if you told me this was 2.5million then I could believe it but there's no excuse to have 150mill going into something that most cosplayers and privet/indie CGI artists could do way better with $1000 that said I do agree this feels like a turning point and great review \;)

[@unfinishedsentenc5308]

[@Slasher1294]

I would give it 7 or 8 for the adaptation they got the world building and the feel of one piece down most of the cast look fairly great, im kinda giving the cleanliness of the clothes a pass for me because it really didnt take me out of the plot as a fan they got all of the major plot point elements in the show nami looks fine to me though i hope they include the bikini nami in future seasons its kinda iconic, i think they can defintly improve the cleaniless of the clothes in future seasons but not really a huge issue, now would non anime fan like it probably but depends on the person, my father doesnt really care for watching anime so watching the live action he enjoyed it a lot, reasoning when comparing to a lot of shows on netflix it was better there wasnt any ignoring lgbtq aspects in the show like most netflix projects tend to push. The only swap was nami sister though havent seen yet but i would have thought they would cast somebody who looks like nami has her sister though i understand that i dont believe they are related by blood because im pretty sure they are orphans.
