Some articles have said that the Help Me scene was screened for Oda and he called it Perfect. Would be so awesome in OP of all things was what finally broke the live action curse.
Cowboy Bebop and Alita Battle Angel already did that. Alita is even the first èver to get a sequel. Recently announced. And Cowboy Bebop is commonly hated online nòt because it's bad, but ònly because hating on adaptations is popular and no one bothered to watch the anime, or they would've known that Bebop was a passion project for the Studio ànd John Cho, who had been advocating for a live action since his early 20's. Also thè first Western anime adaptation that got such a huge budget, which they then practically doubled for One Piece. Cowboy Bebop was created by the same studio that's behind One Piece. Tomorrow Studios. These people are HUGE otaku. The fact no one in the community even knew this, and it's news to everyone I tell it too; just shows how little people cared about the Bebop anime and how their hate was just blind and for their own entertainment. Not genuine in any way.
@@costa2794 I think that’s one of the conditions of having One Piece adapted into real life is that Oda has to be involved, otherwise, it wouldn’t launch unless he’s good enough. Besides, he stated that the showrunners are super fans of One Piece, so that’s reassuring.
no kidding. if this ends up being a super mario movie type situation. where everyone was scared when it got announces then as the trailers came out it looked better and better. and when it came out it was actually good. if that happens im gonna be over the moon.
@@kiyaleelevyrunaya9495what are you even talking about? John Cho didn't even know Cowboy Bebop existed until he was cast. They completely ignored any advice the original director Shinichiro Watanabe had. They drastically changed important story plots and characters to the point they were unrecognizable. Absolutely nothing you said was correct.
It looks like Arlong pops up in both Buggy's Big Top AND Baratie, which means he's mostly likely chasing and pursuing Nami throughout the entire show as the overarching, looming threat of the entire season! VERY interesting change and it makes alot of sense to change it this way for a new audience.
My friend and I are betting that Don Krieg is gonna start stuff at Baratie and then Arlong and his crew will just smack them down to show you how dangerous he is. Since during that point of the story Krieg is considered a beast with his weaponry. So then to have Arlong come up and just lay them out and demand Nami get back to the park will show a power dynamic.
Keeping tabs on his navigator in the background would actually be a nice touch to East Blue, I think. Just a shadow of a Fishman in the corner of her eye to never let her forget her debt or flee. Maybe see grunt Fishman brokering deals with who ended up the other main villains in the saga for another layer of interconnectivity. Though, that may be quite a bit too much.
I think arlong appears at buggys circus after they leave, to show that he's hunting them. Than after the Don krieg fight where luffy would still be winded suprise him with his strength and leave with nami He is in this, the website has kreig's wanted poster lol
In Oda's message, he said that the production team promised him they will only release it if Oda satisfied. We can only have our opinion but it's approved by Oda the GOAT himself.
I absolutely understand on why it matters to you as a long one piece fan who the show has also uplifted and gotten me through tough times in life! This trailer released a lot of the anxiety I loved it!
I think he captured Luffy's energy fr. I think it just came from the fact that there are a lot of expectations coming from him being Luffy. It begs the question, who could do it better? Everything was Oda approved, so I'm trusting that.
Same here brother. Been following this masterfully wrought tale for half my life (42 now). I'm hopeful for this adaption. Arlong looks 'meh,' however it's pleasing to see they didn't overly CGI the antagonist there. Practical effects are always welcome! Buggy looks and sounds GREAT! So far it seems they might have the bromance between Sanji and Zoro down. The main cast looks good. I can't wait to see what they have in store for us. And yes... Luffy is that one character with shoes nearly impossible to fill. I wish the cast well in bringing our favorite story to life. God speed, StrawHat Grand Fleet. What a time to be alive. May we all live to see it's conclusion.
I don't wanna be an Iñaki Godoy defence squad person, cause what you said is so true, but I really am so glad that it is Iñaki cast as Luffy. As a kid his personality and behaviour was already so similar; Pulling silly pranks, smiling in an ambulance, saying he is elastic and wanting to be a competitive eater. From his acting I really saw his serious side too. He is a more clever version of Luffy imo. He is lacking a bit of the "blank" and "clueless" look... Ya know, when all Luffy can think of is adventure and food, the "Ha???" face, the blank stare, nothing going on in behind those eyes... If Iñaki can pull off the "???" clueless face to balance out the serious side and him being so much more clever then it is perfect.
Me and you share a similar love for one piece, im a 19 year watcher close to 20 as well and let me tell you i understand your love and passion for it, its truly one of a kind
Nami asking for help, Robin saying she wanna lives. Ussop vs Luffy, Nanimo wakkata. A couple of many scenes that Netflix WILL HAVE TO get right. Also, I wonder if they'll keep Luffy's singing in Skypeia
Hello , I just finished the entire season !! To very honest anime for me is to long but this live action is is just perfect for me !!! I cry many times !! I like it and Im hope this continues with more animes !!! I’m definitely watching the anime from 0!!
I'm more concern about Ussop than Luffy. We don't see much about him in the trailer and I don't know if he has on him the comical persona he should represent and It's a character that have a lot of screen time in earlies arcs.
In reality, most episodes of one piece average around 20 minutes. Subtract duplicate scenes from flashbacks, overly long scenes that are stretched out to fit time blocks for the episode and you can save some time here and there. A10 hour production can house 30 episodes comfortably and with Arlong park finishing around the 40ep mark, I think they have it pretty much perfect.
They nailed it in sense of setting the mood. I'm getting positive vibes overall but they need to give us over the top comedy scenes and drama scenes perfectly. Let's see about that.
God I am certain Matt Owens and Oda had to fight for "Help Me" to stay in the show. A empowered woman learning to trust and rely on her male friends? They couldn't even let Prince Eric the experienced sailor steer the ship into Ursula. It doesn't matter if that "Help Me" is the most impactful scene in the entire saga, it doesn't matter that it's beautiful character growth. I am certain they had executives and "sensitivity readers" giving all kinds of opposition but I'm grateful that Matt Owens is such a fan and Oda had so much control. Or this could easily be a Wheel of Time situation.
@@LeviDerringer Stop with the misinformation. Oda did say he had them reshoot scenes after they were shot because he wasn't satisfied with, but he didn't specify which ones. Could we please not start saying anything until we're 100% sure of what we're saying? There was another article that mentioned the Nami scene and Oda said it was perfect and he got "misty".
I like Godoy, I think he deserves a chance. True enough though, in all likelihood, he might be the only person to ever get a chance to play Luffy in live action.
Max i know how you feel, I was watching One Piece in Greek Television, under the name, Captain Drake :), i was 11 annd it was my favorite tv program. Unfortunately they ended the show at episode 100. When i became 19, someone in the university told my about that Captain Drake is actually named One Piece and it is still running! I still remember how happy i was that i found this treasure again. Now i am 32, and i can say that One Piece brings the same happiness. it's more than a show. I wish everyone who loves One Piece will be healthy and well to see the end of this journey Peace :)
i keep seeing people saying "isnt that the end of the fight" when Luffy is doing the gatling, but didnt the fight end when he did the "stamp" move that destroyed the building?
1. Coby / alvida 2. Zoro / Capt Morgan 3. Ussop / jango 4. Black cat pirates / Kuro 5. Sanji / Gin 6. Zeff / Don Krieg 7. Nami fish man pirates 8. Arlong park / grand line
I'm an anime watcher / manga reader already but I've never touched one piece because I've always felt overwhelmed but after watching the live action I've actually started the anime!
I have so many non-anime fans that don't get my passion, and your analogy on how we don't want other people bastardizing food from our culture is perfect. I will use that analagy when expressing why these adpatations matter to me as an anime fan, especially being a One Piece fan myself.
If I'm not mistaken, it's covering the whole of East Blue saga. Also if the East Blue Saga movie can cover the whole of the EB saga in 2h, then it's possible for the production team to cover the whole saga in 8 episodes, which if I'm correct, each episode is 1h long.
I think Luffy strength and character is more dependant on what he does and what happens to him. His portrayal seems to me, at this moment convincingly enough. But we must see the moment Buggy cuts his hat. How his reaction on that particular scene will show if he can go well on the dramatic moments. Since arlong being on baratie thing will definitely be crammed and things removed. I think the cgi of characters like arlong are like that.. I imagine characters will be humans acting when they can be. Of course, if big mom or kaido, doggy and brogy, and brook etc will need cgi for proportions.. if they get adapted someday, but maybe jimbe won't?
As someone from NC, sorry you had to experience that. There are a ton of really good Sushi restaurants in NC that get it right, but just as a pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza, it doesn’t belong in Sushi either.
Didn't watch the Cowboy beebop live action, but if you go further back to Netflix Death Note that is kinda scary as well. but this looks good, i will watch it.
the first episode will tell if we should watch it or not, Shanks goofiness and then haoshoku on the seamonster hopefully they will nail it and dunno if they gonna hint on haki power earlier or not
Bro I cant wait ive been a one piece fan for 3 years And know I read the manga cause like the show dosent go up to chapter 1088 but I think they replaced don oreig with arlong
Do you remember episode 39 or so Where it was mentioned that there were a lot of humans who could take kurobi's Fishman karate at the Baratie Wana go said Sanji. I'm surprised they made that Actually happen for this version
It is, imo, impossible, making a 100% faithfull live action adaptation of One Piece. It's the equivalent of doing LotR 50 years ago. The anime/manga is just so crazy... the trailer is a show of that we're gonna get, I think it will be really good for what is currently possible. I'm hyped. Yeah, great trailer!
If you look at the final shot with the 5 of them at arlong park 12:06 nami has the stab wound and it looks like luffy just busted down the door after “the walk to arlong park”…… I hope they didn’t add nami to walk with the other 4. It will probably ruin the iconic scene
arlongs nose teeth... i mean it looks more like the real shark hes based on, but in live action its nightmare fuel, ngl. also ive seen this pointed out, they need to bulk him up. atm hes a regular sized guy with a big fishman head prosthetic. not even that buff by human standards.
You have to realize oda himself said it’s not gonna be exactly the same he said he has changed some things in the movie so some things won’t be exactly the same. We have to respect the actual creator of one piece decision as well.
Wth bro? The gum gum gatling looks insane, I am expecting worse, and was expecting something "ok", but this excede my expectations... I'd say it's the best stretching powers cgi in live action history
@Max D. Capo, Am I wrong in believing that people actually LIKED the Cowboy Bebop trailers? I thought things fell apart when those people watched the finished product. Either way, I hope this is everything One Piece fans want it to be. At the very least, it won't be Dragonball Evolution Bad, right? We knew that was trash from magazine pictures before the trailer even came out, lol.
I hope I don't offend you but I don't think Luffy is a hard character for an actor to play. A lot of Shonen protags have a tendency to be rather flat characters. Silly one minute, intense the next, but not much depth otherwise.
Ironic that you used the Iron Man example about Inaki because Oda literally said he thought Inaki was born for the role... but I guess you know better than Oda
Plus his actor was in a show called the Imperfects. And he shows that he can act Very serious at times. Which seeing here that he can also act goofy really improves my opinion of him playing as Luffy. I’m confident in Inaki to Bring Luffys character to life with both the Goofy scenes AND the very serious scenes.
If Oda approved the series to be launched, I think fans should definitely give it a shot without shooting it down right away. I truly believe that the production team did the best they could do under Oda's guidance and the other restrictions and timing issues they may have faced.
The way I've seen Iñaki act behind the scenes - he's spot-on, honestly. He's loud and extroverted and seems to have zero filter, but he's also very emotionally invested and just such a happy-go-lucky guy. Genuinely, I love him for Luffy and I can't wait to see more of him.
Same, brother. I started in 2002 with kaizoku fansubs. My wife and I did the translation for one of the Alabasta episodes. Having a weekly chapter to look forward to all these years is one of the great constants on my life. Live action really captures the feel!
The people who remember Kaizoku fansubs are some true long time fans. I loved how they did the attacks with the special text. Really made it extra special. Amazing to hear you and your wife did a translation for one of those. That basically means I must have watched it. Once ONE PIECE ends, I feel like when the final chapter comes I’ll also be closing a chapter to my life. Sounds excessive but it’s true 😂
Can I just say the Marines outfits look absolutely good? Like real-life military or police ones but still resembles the ones from the manga. I really liked them
5:19 The shirt that Usopp is wearing actually comes from one of the color spreads of the manga. Many of the outfits shown in both trailers are from those spreads on the cover pages.
Matt owens who is the head writer was asked what part of the show you can't wait for the fans to see. He paused for a moment and said "Help me..". We all knew what he meant 😂
I’m also a fan for over 20 years and a female. I was also VERY worried about how they’re going to handle Nami for “modern audiences”. It does look like they’re going to have her fight and do the “walk to Arlong Park” Which to me fully changes the whole character scene. Nami was always on her own and felt like she didn’t have anyone to turn to. Then Luffy became someone she trusted enough to ask for help. To me that scene shows the Strawhats for the first time working together towards a single goal. And it was to help Nami.
yeah the entire point is she finally DOESNT have to fight this fight for her village after doing it alone for so long. i hope she doesnt lose all her femininity. part of her character is using her feminine side to get what she wants. shes also never been a big fighter, her hits are strong but zero defenses and only slightly more bravery than usopp.
I am also a fan for 20 years ✊✖️ I however wouldn't mind nami having a little action 🙈 maybe standing back with the villagers and protecting them from random fishman or something. We will see. But The big fight action should def be filled with the boys 🙈
just because she walked to arlong park with the boys doesn't mean she's fighting. she could just as easily be there to witness the outcome of the fight.
Maybe she go with them to tell Arlong that she will not be helping him anymore, like to annouce that he have to fucking die. She probably will not have a much to do during this time.
This is something I am actually hopeful for. They’re changing things, but 1:1 would be boring. Get the characters and the important story moments right, and make it 90-95% match. The fact they’re asking Oda for his approval and taking his advice is helpful. I will also watch it twice, once in English and once in Japanese as the actual anime cast will voice over
