Trash Taste's ONE PIECE Live Action Review

[@coyote271280]

my 90 year old granma loved it. She was wide eyed when Luffy first extended his arm to hit Alvida, and at the part where Nami is nagging Luffy for letting Zoro fight Mihawk, she told me, with a very serious face "Sometimes you gotta let boys be boys, so they can become men, but you cannot blame her bcs she is not a mom" I was flabbergasted by her words of wisdom since she has gone a bit senile as of late, but the show had her snappy and sharp, meaning it grabbed her attention fully. I will never be able to thank them enough for this moment I shared with her.

We watched it in english, so the language it was originally made it, as per my personal policy. He had a hard time for the first episode getting to grips with the fantastical elements, but once he had an idea of what the setting of this story was going to be he had a lot of fun with the show, said it wasn't the kind of thing he'd go looking for but he was glad he saw it.@@foster4241

[@siddhantchauhan1975]

one thing I think was smart. Zoro only used three sword style twice, once at the start and the other against mihawk. It kinda makes it look like his strongest style and allows them to not have it in every fight as three sword would very goofy in real life, while two sword style had such good choreography

[@zerevv]

yeah LA zoro use 3 swords mainly for finishing moves at maybe like 20% of the time while in anime & manga he use 3 swords like at least 70% of the time

[@RexZShadow]

Ya I agree, 3 sword would look goofy af aside from finishers in live action. Anime/manga let you get away with it more than live action would.

[@wetnoodlex]

Hahaha you got me thinking how it would look if he were to actually fight like that in the live action. Just him shaking his head the entire time. But yeah, good point that the anime is literally just finishers when he uses it or slideshows.

[@pertamanakprimaindra3928]

and adding to that, child LA zoro train 2 sword style only to defeat Kuina, He Start training 3 sword style after Kuina Died, to honor her & their Dream. while in Manga/Anime He start to train 3 style after he got defeated but sadly she passed away before he challenge her again.

[@goyam2981]

The thing is Japanese style sword fight shouldn't be this acrobatic. Japanese swords are very long and they usually hang cases on the side. Chinese martial arts characters on the other hand usually carry swords which are shorter in one hand and toss the case away or give it to someone to hold to fight.

[@halkon4412]

I had the same thought Connor did, that this might be too weird for normies. BUT, I then had a similar experience to Garnt, where I was able to get two normie friends of mine invested in the show. Like, glued to the screen invested. I think that anime fans see cringe where normies don't, and vice versa. For example, Luffy constantly talking about his goal comes off as cheesy to someone who watches a lot of shonen and is familiar with that trope, but it might just seem like a unique character trait to someone who isn't as steeped in the genre.

[@chuckbatmangaming]

I think that's very true about Luffy, Western live-action shows are full of jaded protagonists with a chip on their shoulder, so plop an optimistic goofy shonen main character like Luffy into that kind of show and you've got something really fresh and different. It works even better because there are other characters, mainly Nami and Zorro, who fill that "jaded stoic badass with a chip on their shoulder" role and you get to watch them slowly come around to Luffy's way of thinking, just as the audience would

[@DawnAfternoon]

Honestly, even as a person who got into One Piece straight from the Alabasta parts of it (I skipped out on East Blue arc), watching the whole East Blue arc in the live action was a fun trip.

[@anna.owo.]

I think it maybe is the same feeling you get when you sit down to watch your favourite show or movie with someone that watches it for the first time and you start to feel insecure about being it weird but they don't feel that way, we are just overthinking it.

[@glencoconut]

Oda himself said his goal was to reach fans who wouldn't watch the anime and it definitely worked. Myself and multiple people I know said they wouldn't get into the One Piece anime/manga and yet we're all very invested in the story having seen the live action. It reached it's target audience and achieved it's goal imo.

[@RexZShadow]

I think the biggest success of the live action is so many people who have no idea what it is liked it. Had a friend told me his like retired parents were watching and enjoying it without knowing its anime/manga based show. Man the last one that translated this well had to be like Edge of Tomorrow? But that one was like they just took the concept and rework whole thing for the movie.

[@woodhawk109]

Edge of Tomorrow also got the advantage of starring Tom Cruise. The OPLA has a cast of mostly unknown to the casual audience. The show is successful through a lot of word-of-mouth which is extremely impressive

[@symphonixblades]

Alice in Borderland and Rurouni Kenshin had good live actions, translated well, while Rurouni Kenshin went a little away from the source material, Alice in Borderland followed the source material and was really enjoyable. But these are Japanese live actions which usually do well or at least better than western ones. One Piece is probably the first western live action adaptation of a manga that I enjoyed

Idk man, doesn't seem that way when Maeda comes out in an Interview stating that they had to persuade Oda alot because he didn't like things, like the Garp storyline being so frontloaded. So this is quite the bold assumption to make, with no evidence to back it up.

[@adamcogan211]

Conor is definitely wrong on this one. This is the first time I’ve ever seen normies or friends/family watch anything even closely related to anime. The show is done so well that it stands alone on it’s own. I was shocked that people I couldn’t get to watch anime were watching this on their own volition. The power of a successful or viral Netflix show is crazy! I love how unashamed everyone is and how diverse the cast is. As someone who got fed up with One Piece and didn’t like it anymore, this live-action really hooked me and got me back into the series.

[@damiettamataram3492]

I am one of those normies 😅 one day out of boredom, I decided to watch OPLA. I was hooked in the first 10 minutes and I watched all the episodes in one sitting.

[@TheFunwichHorror]

I have little to no familiarity with the anime or manga. But it's honestly refreshing to see a live-action nerdy property that's just unapologetically silly and over the top. Especially after the abundance of meta 'Whedon-esque' humor in nerdy movies this past decade (e.g. "Erm... That sounded better in my head." "Well, THAT just happened!") that always need to make sure that the audience knows that the movie also cynically sees itself as silly. It's nice to see a show that doesn't feel like it has to justify it's silliness with a wink and nod to the audience and instead proudly say "Yeah, this shit is goofy and ridiculous. Watch it, or don't." I see characters like Merry who styled himself like a ram, or that one navy who has a mouse ears hat and whiskers, and was pleasantly surprised to see everyone taking them seriously, with no character taking cheap digs at their appearance. Really allows me to be more immersed and just go "Yep, this is probably just a normal thing in this crazy fantasy world."

[@thegeekfromearth]

i think they should just make chopper a kid with deerlike features like his horn and blue nose but make sure hes cute cos his personality is mostly like a kid anyways so why not make him one and most of his dynamics and interaction with everyone will be like in the manga if hes a kid its also cheaper and they dont need to sacrifice his screentime to fleshout more about his character. also goda himself said he made chopper cute cos of his voice actor so why not go full cute on him lol..

[@sugartoothYT]

There are live-action Sonic MOVIES and therefore they have the budget and whole composition built to fit the CG characters specifically. How many consistently present CG characters that interact with the environment do you see in live-action shows? Every second active on screen they bleed money. Also the way you compare implied they'd actually make a fully "unreal" character like Sonic and not even have prosthetics and/or puppetry that are patched with CGI, which is far more laborious in the long-term.

[@FrostFireTiger]

There's probably 4 distinct ways they can attempt to do Chopper. First and most expensive is to go full CGI and have a Detective Pikachu or Rocket Raccoon like character. Second is to have a full puppet like Baby Yoda. Doesn't look as realistic, but because of that it avoids the uncanny valley. Third option is a human kid in reindeer makeup VFX. The biggest issue with this one is that the actor will noticeably age throughout the seasons of the show and it would be much more noticeable than the aging of the young adult cast. Lastly a short person in a full costume like the Ewoks from Star wars. This works, but these tend to be the less emotive option and it makes it hard for the actor to stand out.

[@levisamom5069]

I think a combination of a puppet and CGI for the expressions and whatnot is the way to go...but I do think it's doable without going overboard on the budget and give enough screentime

East blue was a very good introduction arc and live action friendly. Crews, pirates and navy are all borderline super human at most and not many devil fruit users had been introduced.

But it takes a lot of resources for hand drawn/real actions, and almost impossible once we get into next season when most enemies and friends are DF users or non human.

Live action MHA worries me because of how inherently Japanese it is. It's not set in a fantasy world, it's set in modern-ish day Japan, and Japanese national identity is a pretty big theme in the story. I don't see how a live action could work if it isn't set in Japan with a Japanese cast.

Most of the production timeline for se 01 was preproduction and writing. Makes a lot of sense since I can only imagine that time wws spent ironing out story beats and detailing changes from the manga with Oda as well as casting and artistic direction (ie. What will the sea kings look like? How accurate do we want the costumes to look like? Does finishing move callouts work? Etc.) The actual principle photography only took about 8 months and post production took ab a year. So it would probably take roughly 2 years for the next season- possibly even less since most of the development work can be more streamlined this time around

If they ever get to that point, having Dadan be played by a Mexican actress and just be a Mexican mom (completes with the chancla) to the three kids might be a way to explain it.

As a 90s kid, I slowly find myself seeing it as if it were a prequal within the Hook universe. The slightly janky but colourful set pieces, exagerrated characters and costumes, the Luffie actor imbues the energy of a young Robin Williams Peter Pan, and Garp carries the presence of Hoffman's Hook (the sense of disturbing a family accord, also taking an ally of the protagonist under their wing - Peter's son for Hook, and Koby for Luffie). Zoro also plays off of Luffie like Rufio does Peter. You can feel the creative ways they've tried to realise such a colourful world with the modest means of our reality, and it's charming. Also, there's plenty pirating. As a millenial with a lot of nostalgic attachment to Hook, I just love all that.
