I like Captain Kudo in this one. Instead of a big fight he is playing Cat and Mouse through the manor. Which fits his cat vibes.

[@SparklezSquad]

Woah nice catch! I wouldn’t have thought of that cat and mouse idea. (Also I said nice “catch” get it? Trying to catch a mouse.. 🥲)

[@lightningjadejavier]

​@@SparklezSquadboooo... Get off the stage!

[@Itoyokofan]

Each arc in OP is a play on a different genre, Buggy's and Kuro's arcs are examples of how One Piece generally is. So rather than Kuro/Usopp arc standing out, it actually really fits in, so get ready for more pacing rollercoasters in Season 2 and so on.

[@zuflis]

yes, and the fact that Kuro dont really kill everyone when he's able, is just like real Cat where they dont really kill their prey asap, instead toying with them (and possibly fail at it later) is also the hidden theme people might miss. Some changes are noticeable for manga fans, but clearly these changes have gone some serious thoughts process.

[@Kyubii01]

I’m sad he never said the move “pussy foot maneuver “ lol

[@seephreepsychee]

Because I've watched the anime and read the manga, I feel like I was able to appreciate it even more because of that fact. Sure they took out a few things and changed others that I really wanted to see, but with their 8 episode limit and their limited budget, I feel like they struck a near perfect balance for staying close to the source material and changing what they needed. Very proud of the team. You can really tell the creator was behind this show

[@MyKokohead]

love the fact that you, who hasn't seen the source material, could pick up on the manga's running gag about zoro and his sense of direction.

[@MilkT0ast]

Im a chef by trade, and am a 3rd degree black belt in taekwondo, so Sanji is my favorite. Hes also got the rizz, and i love a good suit.

[@donabiswas6266]

What is Rizz??

[@OfficialEdwardNewgate]

@@donabiswas6266 Rizz is a slang term for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication. It is most commonly applied in the context of men pursuing women, but not always. It is typically used in the exact same way as the older slang term game.

[@SorryIAmNotavailable]

I agree about Usopp hesitating before declaring his dream. It’s relatable for people who are not sure about their dreams. Usopp is the representation of those who need more courage and dedication but still try their best to keep up with others who already know their goals and started their journey.

[@Iamrooq]

“It makes me feel like a kid again” Now you know why people love this franchise

[@haydes2106]

It’s great you loved it! Being an anime and manga fan…i loved this live action. They did a great job! Oh and you better get used to those sad feels in future One Piece seasons. A tissue box will be helpful in the future.

[@SparklezSquad]

So nice to hear that it’s being well received by most fans!

[@demonseed360]

The live action Kuro arc seems to be very divisive. Either people hate it or love it. Personally, I loved it. I love the set and I think the actor for Kuro did a magnificent job. I like the air of mystery and suspense in the building after they were locked in. The fight scene with Zoro was incredible, though Kuro's henchmen were pretty cheesy. With that being said, I absolutely loved the banter between the henchmen. Sure, the planning part was sort of Saturday morning cartoonish with tons of holes, but One Piece is literally a Saturday morning cartoon.

[@luohankuo610]

i think everyone loves live action kuro, the only thing i noticed that got most people upset in the syrup village arc was usopp should have got more time/moment to shine

[@brettthebest3978]

I feel like it needed one extra scene of Usopp being heroic Like maybe at the very end Kuro is about to stab Kaya and without thinking he jumps in the way showing deep down he is brave And then lets say Zoro blocks the knives and Kuro super speed runs away

[@goyam2981]

I prefer manly and commanding pirate captain Kuro, and Jango to the 2 stupid cat henchmen.

[@sheena9178]

Just to let you know that the Zoro vs Mihawk anime fight you saw was actually from a recap episode for East Blue and was far more rushed than the live action hence the lack of emotion. I think the LA did amazing at the fight but for me the speech in the anime afterwards gave me chills. You must watch the original anime for that!

[@mathieumartineau3121]

One thing about One Piece is that there are good and bad pirates as there are good and bad marines. Oda really know how to work nuance.

[@SparklezSquad]

I love that so much. It sounds obvious when said but how they translate that feeling in the show is great

[@Aviertje]

Regarding the characters looks being different: your images of them are from considerably later in the series. Time passes for all of them, and with it, their style and looks changed too.

[@SparklezSquad]

That’s actually so awesome that all the characters change with time! I’m too used to shows like Pokemon and ash never ageing to think about it haha

[@Itoyokofan]

​@@LoveYamachanCharacters in OPLA wear their iconic garment in the first scene they show up, and then they all change what they wear from episode to episode, which is really great, as they can match whatever the wibe of the episode is.

[@lonewolf9325]

Great to feel Zoro vs Sanji on a personal level for the audience. Mackenyu was already a Hot Shot in real life, and him introduced early got us hooked, then Taz enters as Sanji and steals the show with the little screentime he has. Zoro vs Sanji setup as meta as well.

[@IamEigee]

you are so on the money about opla giving you that feeling of just being able to get into a show the way you did as a kid and a large part of that being that the cast is so likeable and has so much extra content. Def have a crush on every single one of them 😁I haven't felt this alive since I was 15, fangirling over harry potter.

[@wideeyewanderer1785]

I’ve been a fan of one piece for 15 years and this adaptation is great. They hit all the high moments very well, not as good as the anime, but the story, the characters, the theme, the tone, and the layers are all there. My first impression was apprehension but after some getting used to it, I think it’s nearly perfect!

[@drsoups]

The fact that they need to make so many tranformations for Chopper is insane, they have their work cut out for them

[@Regretfulgoose]

As a long time fan of one piece I loved the LA. They condensed things well and explained the world for newbies better in 8 episodes then some other tv it was such good writing really a show made by fans for fans and especially for new viewers to get into the world!!!

If you think Sanji’s backstory is sad wait until you find out about the other one

[@trafalgarlaw8373]

Nah. While his later one is arguably more sad, the one with Zeff is much more unique, compelling and memorable. The later was just: my family treated me badly, because I was different/didnt meet expectations and i had one person i liked but they died.

[@Strega4646]

True... His own family bullied him. It was only his sister that helped him. I guess that's why he admired women alot.

[@trafalgarlaw8373]

That's a stupid conclusion. He lusts and simps after women, it's not some admiration. He likes attractive women for romance or sexual purposes. @@Strega4646

I'm a passionate dubbed-anime person, but when it comes to One Piece - if you decide to watch the anime, do it subtitled w/ Japanese audio. I say this even while still believing it's still gotten a great/amazing dub

[@SparklezSquad]

Woah thanks for the pro tip, do you feel it’s because the emotion is stronger in Japanese? I’ve only ever watched dubbed for everything.

[@runbaa9285]

​@@SparklezSquadI'd chalk it up to the performance. The dub does a solid job, but the performance in the original Japanese have not just become iconic, but landmarks in voice acting history. There's a lot of "ugly crying" in One Piece, and the JP voice cast deliver their all for these portions.

[@SparklezSquad]

[@TheGrossDemon]

I loved the live action so much. They did such a good job bringing the wacky world of One Piece into live action. They also did really good tweaking the story in a way thay works with their time limit while keeping true to the major story beats. The Live action sparked my love for an anime i havent watched since middle school and got me to start it up again. It feels like something that can stand on its own but also serves as a good introduction to the story. Its fun to watch, fun to explore the characters, but also lets you know that theres so much more to the world that you wont know about unless you really dive in.

Most honest review I've seen in a while

[@sinnerthesinful552]

I've only watched episodes 1 and 2 and so far everything is great, the only thing I find a bit weird coming from the manga/anime is stoic Garp, he's usualy just a bigger less pirate-y Luffy, even when he encounters Luffy later in the mnga/anime he just laughts it off and even helps them a little bit, the live action's Garp feel too serious all the time

[@SparklezSquad]

Ooo that’s interesting, I didn’t know he’d be goofy as well. I wonder why they did such a change.. although the change worked well for me since I didn’t know

[@pertamanakprimaindra3928]

because they want to bridge garp's regrets on the marineford to be more sense. and if you watch luffy childhood, garp always angry all the time. but its always shown in comical way that the anime manga fan brush it off easily. and if you Know how Luffy's Dad and "Brothers" end up is. isn't strange that garp is so easy going without explanation? like when he able to made peace with his family situation. and then Marinford happen, suddenly he has regret to not to force his grandkids more? I always see garp at the marineford is so jarring with garp before and after. like the happy go lucky and the seriousness is too far a part. LA Garp is more sense, especially when the marineford happen.

[@djfusionkotb]

Having a nonchalant laughing 60 year old admiral marine trying to save his grandson from the dangers of the world would come off weird and unrealistic in a realistic live action world. No father would act that way in real life. Both garps are grandfathers that love their son and are dedicated to justice that’s all that matters.

[@sinnerthesinful552]

@@pertamanakprimaindra3928 but then why is luffy still a pirate? Marineford Garp nakes sense to me because there he's regreting not being more serious, perhaps not forcing Luffy and Ace to be marines, which makes sense with his bubbly personality, but LA Garp feels like he wouldn't even let it get to that point, you know? Which to me is weirder

[@virusmanga]

Another great video Johnny! I haven't seen the live action One Piece yet, but after watching your video I feel much more motivated to do so! I only watched the 4Kids dub early on, so I never really got into One Piece. This show could help attract a more casual fanbase to experience One Piece for the first time, who otherwise wouldn't have. Especially because there are so many episodes of the anime, this live action can serve as a new entry point to beginners. Captain Kuro is my favorite; I find a deadly pirate who faked his own execution and who is now plotting to kill a rich girl in secret, under the pretext of being her butler so intriguing. I'm really happy you included snippets of him in your video, it was actually the first time I saw him in the live action and now I'm more excited to watch the show AFTER your video as opposed to beforehand. Keep up the fantastic work, Capt'n!

1:02 I haven't heard anyone complaining and saying "That's not the same" , or "that's not really what happened". One Piece fans are not idiots. They know the live action was just 8 episodes so obviously it's impossible to expect it to be a one on one copy of the manga or anime.

[@wackyzap1304]

I agree on the weird camera lens shots but I love the goofy costumes and how serious they are despite wearing them. The One Piece world is wacky like that.

[@dcfavorite]

I wish they kept the original scenes with Sanji and Nanmi leaving their "home". How Zeff and everyone at the restaurant picked on Sanji after the fight so the he would really storm out the door, and with Sanji knowing their intention and crying as he board Luffy's ship, thanking everyone for everything. And how Nanmi steals everyone's purse as she runs through the crowd, showing her sister and everyone at the village that they don't have to worry about her and she can handle herself. Every member of the straw hat pirate had a touching scene when they joined up (well...maybe except Zoro), they should have kept that.

[@gianlucaangelini8430]

Now watching the anime after this show and it has insane close ups that linger lol like eyes or one eye closeups for too long but they make me laugh 😂 maybe it changes in later seasons, idk yet. Zoro and Sanji look really cool and I adore them and always thought they would be my favorite characters at first glance and I guess they still are, it's hard to really have a favorite tbh but I still gotta say.. my favorite is Luffy. Which is very shocking to me, knowing me.. haha even still as I watch the anime tho I'm only 20 episodes in. Idk what it is.. he's endearing.

As a long time fan of One Piece, I personally like the live action adaptation. I like that they aren't 100% true to how the story is told on the manga/anime. Not everything works in a live adaptation and they managed to bring forth the essence and spirit of One Piece. I think that having Eiichiro Oda part of the production and casting process, is what makes it work so much better. It's hard to make something so silly, wacky and crazy as One Piece look real and great, but they did much better than I thought they would. Even though the live action characters aren't exactly like they are in the manga/anime, they still have the core values and personality trait of the original characters. They made it work perfectly for a live adaptation. My bf tried to watch One Piece anime, but it neve managed to captivate him. We watched the live action together and he actually likes it. So, I think that the live action will be able to reach an audience that the manga and anime couldn't, as the style is so different, but the essence and spirit of One Piece are present. The changes they made was to make it work as a live action, without compromising the underlying story, essence and spirit of the original work. That's why I like the live action. Oh and the live action actually made me like Sanji, as I don't like manga/anime Sanji. 😆

As a longtime manga and anime One Piece fan, I was thrilled with the adaptation. While events aren’t 1:1, they aren’t supposed to be. It’s called an adaptation for a reason. They successfully put their own spin on the story while still being very faithful to the source material’s themes, tone, messages, and character direction. They did a fantastic job with casting, acting, and set design. As strange as it is to say, the most important character in the world of One Piece is the world itself. One Piece is a world building show. It’s the best there is at world building, and the adaptation did the world of One Piece such Justice. I was so happy with the set design. It stole the show for me.

[@danielefortini536]

One of the things that people forget and new fan don't understand quickly is that the marines aren't the bad guys. Yes, some of them are corrupted, but they are the good guys, the pirates are evil, and the strawhats are different, there are few other pirates that are good. We are fond of luffy so everything bad that happens to him, we think that it's coming from bad people, but that it's not always the case (spoilers for marineford, like episode 400: Akainu was doing his job, we hate him because he killed ace, but he killed a pirate, he was doing his job, like garp couldn't do anything because ace was a pirate) now spoiler free 99% of pirates are bad, the thing is that if you are a pirate and encounter luffy, you are his enemy or his ally, that's why we see a lot of pirates changing their behaviour or being less cruel of how they used to be. If anything bad happens to luffy, we don't think, we love him and gave fault to whoever did anything to him to make him suffer, like a real friend. The real enemy isn't the marine but the world governament

[@xXFoiXx]

The Live Action was an abbreviated version of the East Blue saga (most of it ) so far. Now an abbreviated version well told of a great story is still a great story. And nobody is saying you are not allowed to enjoy just the live action But you did get a speedrun version of the story. And some corners they cut off make a lot of sense and others cut off more important parts. For example Usopp and Sanji are much more just side characters in the live action. And if I asked you why they should be Strawhats you would not have an answer because the live action didn't really show why they belong.

Usopp knows exactly what he wants to be, it's just adaption cut it out completely despite taking quarter of the season for his arc while simultaneously throwing most of his character out of the window 👍👍👍

Don't jump into the middle of the anime, especially if you don't want spoilers. You'll be so spoiled and so lost. Not only are there a lot moments dependent on past knowledge, sometimes just knowing the characters join the crew at all is a big spoiler. Secondly, there's no place to jump in where everyone on the crew has joined, so if that's the part you want to skip past you're out of luck.

Well then, I thought I found a loop hole but I guess not! I’m the end I want to enjoy it as much as possible so i guess I can start from the start :)

[@OtakuScandal]

Definitely start from the beginning and see everything they changed. You’d be surprised
