An Honest Review of Netflix One Piece 

I think the word you're looking for is faithful. And this live action is definitely that

Absolutely. It's the same thing that makes a good comic impression--it's not about being perfectly accurate in voice, but capturing the spirit.

That’s what made shadow of mordor duology good while rings of power was absolute commercial disaster

I don’t even think you have to like the source material! Verhoeven’s Starship Troopers is an incredible film and that’s him basically playing a long elaborate practical joke on anyone who thought the novel’s brand of fascism was a good time.

@@Hudramshinzoffy ...eh, there are some who would disagree with you on the Mordor games. Hell, there are plenty who would disagree about Peter Jackson's trilogy being good - Christopher Tolkien amongst them.

Imagine him with the ponytail...

I'm sooooo proud to be a clown fucker these days

YASSS

I feel called out, LMAOOO. I remember reading the manga thinking he's so... slimy. And I'm not the biggest fan of clown either. But he _is_ sexy. He has always been. Oh gods. Haha.

Live action Buggy could start the second Harem Wars.

Me too. I don't know why people hate. Yes, it was super cheesy. But it's Buggy.

i wonder if it was adlib, as in the script shows that he exits stage left, and then he says it as a line to be goofy

I felt it was a well written line and did a better job to make him feel like an entertainer, like his singing in an earlier episode.

My only gripe is that his hands should have held the double birds there for a second as his body ran away. Would have been such a good gag

@@RyanFribble I love that idea ♥

It’s similar to how buggy does nothing to deserve all the successes he gets lol

my new favourite word of his is Shidiots

He was more intimidating and more funny at the same time 😱😂

"he's talkin' shit about findin' the one piece" is simultaneously my favorite line of the season AND a perfect summation Luffy's early conversations.

When did that happen😭

@@8bitbit529 there are 3 quotes in this thread, which one are you asking? lmao OP's line was when Buggy is taken out in the diner to show that he led the group to Luffy's gang

Truly a perfect scene

The tanuki joke may not work for a well made reindeer muppet, but if they say he's a puppet or a taxidermy or a costume, that'd be hilarious.

@@glitchedgirI How about 'Impressively well made animatronic'?

I guess it's gonna be a convination of a Muppet with cgi for the most know form and they could give us a real actor with cgi for the big human form

​@@BeepSmileyess!!!

There are two good reason to cut out his attack names. 1: Many of them are puns. "Oni Giri" means "Demon Oath," but "Onigiri" is "rice ball." The joke is that Zoro is trying to come up with cool edgy names but they keep accidentally sounding silly. Doesn't translate well. 2: He's gotta hold a sword in his mouth bro, how's he supposed to talk?

Luffy knows that Zoro loves Onigiri.

just really damn muffled@@jonathannoble7845

@@jonathannoble7845 well, obviously his heart does the talking. He'll learn it, when he learns to cut steel against daz bones.

@@jonathannoble7845 You didnt know... Oda confirmed Zoro knows ventriloquism XD. I am not joking, in a SBS someone made this question and he responded that, I don't remember which one but IIRC I think it was around Alabasta.

In a blink and miss it moment, he was totally lost in Kayas mansion. Him looking for booze and going the opposite direction from the kitchen/wine cellar😅

Sanji hitting on every woman he meets was surprisingly tasteful and smooth imo 😄

​@@HK23783and when he went the opposite way to the mansion after climbing up the well. My man doesn't have the slightest idea of how directions work

Plus when nami tells him to turn the ship port side and he asks what direction that and after she tells him left he still… just stands there lmao

You did not say zoro has Brain cell deficiency… I cant deny bro that is so accurate.😂

Yeah, his self-serious attempts at being edgy become entirely hilarious because he's a dumbass trying to be a cool guy in a world filled with nothing but goofballs. He's somehow funny in... reverse?

I love how on the surface Zoro seems like a straight-man, being all serious and stuff, but when it comes down it he’s just as on board as Luffy with all the stupid stuff he does. It’s especially great when contrasted to Usopp because he seems like a goofy character, but when Luffy and Zoro actually go off to do something stupid and he’s the one begging them to stop- Excellent reversed expectations!

I enjoyed how they did this with both Nami and Zoro, both of them are much less "anime" (for lack of a better term) than their source material counterparts, but in a way that creates a fun contrast between the "stoic Western action movie badass" personas they put on and Luffy's relentless optimistic anime protagonist energy. It also enhances the character growth as we see them lighten up and begin to embrace the fun cartoon world Luffy operates in, while Luffy slowly comes to see the harsh reality that they (Nami in particular) have lived under and, while not succumbing to it, work to fight against it.

@@chuckbatmangaming completely agree! Both Zoro and Nami read as the kind of characters that take themselves and their surroundings very seriously (At least in the beginning) simply because a) that was the mindset they grew up in and b) they are the kind of characters that have loads of insecurities that they bury under that specific "stoic" persona that theyve adapted for themselves. Slowly growing out of that and being able to be dumb and goofy and recognise that yes, what i just did / what just happened was 15 different shades of ridiculous feels earned, because it stops being " At any point in time this can and will turn exceedingly dangerous" and more "I can laugh about this because i sincerely believe that i will be fine regardless", if that makes sense

The problem I had is that it seemed like they were incorporating Trafalgar Law into Zoro's character. But there's practically no chance of seeing Law in the said dynamic with Luffy and straw hats in Live action so i guess it works.

That, and OPLA Zoro has a wholeass sword handle in his mouth. Nobody's going to hear 'ONIGIRI' over that death grip those chompers have on that hilt

"All great fighters call out their finishing moves." Zoro canonically responds with a scoff and says that's lame. Subtle attention paid to the source material is so good. Even if Zoro starts doing it later on. I'd be okay if the live action didn't.

Actually he says its lame and that nobody does that. Meanwhile literally everyone who is anyone that fights the Straw Hats does.

The real reason Zoro doesn't do it is because he can't with his sword in his mouth

Zoro's gonna give in and do it eventually I bet

Yeah he really maximized his screen time. It was actually impressive, because I hate Helmheppo and Koby as characters. Just plain groan when they show up in a chapter.

I couldn’t stop thinking about Helmeppo’s laugh at the bar after watching episode one. I had to wear a mask on the streets again, cause I couldn’t stop laughing. Spectacular acting

You've the heart via Luffy, the brain cell via Nami, the teeth via Zorro, the nose from Usopp, the feets via Sanji, and the body via Tony-Tony. (That's the only characters I know of, I've dropped the manga years and years ago.)

Zoro's straight man idiocy is perfect in this.

It was perfect, and I want at least double the toilet jokes in season 2.

The stone faced delivery, and total lack of surprise and willingness to just accept that he probably peed somewhere he wasn't supposed to was so beautiful, and speaking of good God does his actor make me question my sexuality

In Japan they dubbed it with sake/alcohol instead toilet

I was genuinely scared that he tried doing his business in something he wasn’t supposed to 😅😅

oh shit I didn't see that it's "employee of the month" board

The board also had a recipe for Oregano-Marinated Wild Boar... an herb which, as we all know, is for savages.

I hope the production really makes it and we get to see the live action version of Sanji's first wanted poster as the Straw Hats' collective bounties are distributed between the Blues.

No, not a muppet… I’d want it closer to a Henson animatronic ala ninja turtles or labyrinth, than a muppet style design.

Though either way get Henson company on board

Make chopper a blend of cgi & physical like Detective Pikachu

@@supersucks id like to see how far they can go practical for majority… before they have to enhance w cg

Everyone in the fandom always keeps telling me that Sanji's unfortunate nature is cultural thing and since the show is clearly targeted more towards the western audience I'm sure they'll tone it down even more in the future since they probably don't want the media's focus on Sanji representing everything that was wrong with how 90s' shonen tended to treat its female cast. We're also talking about the same company that showed green light for plenty of projects that sacrificed their source material to push an agenda like the new direction Witcher is taking and that Cleopatra "documentary" so I'm sure they're more than happy ignore all the unfunny pervert gags from the series, even for just sake of appearing to be more progressive than they actually are. Honestly bigger worries are in the opposite side of the spectrum and I hope they don't try to make women in the show too girlbossy. It would be so redundant since Oda has already purposely avoided making them love interests for the men so it would feel so out of place if one of them went full Jasmin from Aladdin live action and started singing about what a strong and independent woman they are. But I know that there's gonna be some people who regardless eventually feel urge to do that and I hope that the crew has enough patience to sit them down and explain why that's not gonna work.

I really think Usopp captured his character the best of all the actors, although I love them all!

I don't watch or read one piece but garp came off as some final boss level guy. Like he could level cities on his own and he's not even in his prime. If this portrayal is seen as negative I wonder how much better the source material will be

@@satore oh don't be mistaken. Garp could and has leveled cities in the manga like it's nothing. There is a reason, why he is called "the fist". He is BADASS.

​@@satorejokes on you he is supposed to have that feel

​@@satore I think people's gripes with Garp in the live action are basically: 1. Too much screen time (his entire arc in Season 1 is basically invented for the live action). Personally I think this was needed to up the stakes for the straw hats. 2. He's too serious / not lighthearted enough. I don't mind this change personally, especially because it can easily be changed later on. 3. He comes off as less competent than he really is in the manga/anime - arguably he's holding back "because family". I can see this point, it's valid. Garp is laughing a lot in the manga/anime, but he's never comic relief in the making stupid decisions kind of way. He can afford to be lighthearted because he could beat up pretty much anyone who tries to have beef with him. 4. The reveal about him being Luffy's grandfather happens way too early. This was kind of necessary to flesh out Garp's live action story arc, I don't mind it.

@@satorehe is final boss level. He’s had the option to become the fleet admiral of the marines ( the highest rank) multiple times but turned it down due to… well, I’m not going to spoil it for you. My biggest issue with him is that his personality it’s very different. In the manga/anime Garp is basically a Marine version of Luffy. Very light hearted, focused on preserving freedom, goofy, etc.

Thank you! Honestly Nami working as the straight serious character (overall, and pretty amazingly) followed by that gag was hilarious.

inaki fit luffy to a t... lol nahhh

Hasn't Arlong always been the "big bad" of the East Blue saga, though? That's not really a change.

​@@Anthongolong69Zoda says otherwise

Oda is involved in the entire process. So I am not surprised they know what to do

Hate Koby. Worst acting ever. Just fucking terrible, and it doesn't help I've always hated Koby in the anime too. Too bad the Commodore didn't just execute Koby. *Behead Koby. Roundhouse kick Koby into the island.*

I’m glad to know I’m not the only one. I’m 37 and have been on this one piece ride for 20 plus years and I literally cried man tears when it hit. There’s something in how earnestly this show adapts everything. And just to get it out there, all this talk about speed racer, where is the rurouni kenshin love, that’s my personal gold standard for adaptations. All 5 movies are incredible.

How good it will feel when live action Luffy punches you know who so hard that We Are starts playing.

@@Moe_Posting_Chad which one. Every time he punches someone for that final hit it’s transcendent lol Season 2 should be really good if they do the saga justice. There’s a lot to be hype for

@@kennethhernandez9243 *BLACK BEARD*

With all the attention they're calling to it I have no doubt that's going to be a character development moment and Luffy, Usopp, and Sanji are all going to react in fun ways. I anticipate a lot of "I told you so" energy from Sanji and a very enthusiastic "COOL!!!!!!" from Luffy lol.

If I don't get a bloody throated growl of ShiShi SonSon, in bold italics, then I am rioting.

Considering that he is using One-Sword style as his finisher during the fight, bro has no excuse not to call out a finishing move.

​@davi1415 True. The reason I see him for is not saying it because he literally has a sword in his mouth, so he can't speak. Unlike Anime. But when he doesn't, there is no excuse.

Maybe they can add in inner monologue for zoro since live action can't really speak with a sword on his mouth 😂

I think his acting is sublime...it feels like an honest and earnest portrayal of a larger than life persona... but not so ridiculous as to undermine the character or feel unrealistic. He doesnt fade into the background despite there being plenty of big personality characters, but he doesn't come across as cringey or inauthentic. I never was a big fan of the original show... but I LOVE this Luffy.

And his acting and portrayal of the character will only get better as he gets more used to the role. He's acting in a language that isn't even his first and he's THAT good. It's seriously impressive

​@@vu1ture668had no idea. Next guy!

Garp was absolutely amazing in this. Its a different Garp, but not so different that he's unrecognizable from his manga counterpart. All the major qualities are there, but they're handling the nuance of his character differently for the live action and it works; and flows well with the manga accurate storylines being portrayed. They put a lot of care and attention into including Garp into East Blue.

This was the one part of Garp that truly felt like him for the series

Mihawk's flamenco-inspired leitmotif was also *chef's kiss*.

I think you mean they knocked it out of Arlong Park

Including bink's brew with the Red-Haired Pirates and We Are! once they got the Merry were fantastic little drops.

Yeah putting in that much work tells me that they plan to play those characters for a very long time

Also, Sanji double dubbed himself for the 2 Spanish subs (Latam and European)

More dedication than 99.9% of MOVIE actors imo, let alone a Netflix series. The actors are having fun too, and that really shows and makes such a difference.

Wait... HOW MUCH DOES A KATANA WEIGHT????

"Fate conspired..."

Considering it's so likely now that the One Piece is a pile of exposition and records next to a treasure pile Roger's crew left there, I wouldn't be surprised if Buggy gets this gigachad moment where he sees the information somehow but lets Luffy and Robin really dig in first because only one man truly DESERVES to be the Pirate King.

Luffy will find the One Piece but Buggy gets the credit and will become King of the Pirates for about five minutes

No luffy is gonna get there and be like "I did it! I finally found the... buggy!? What are you doing here!?" "I DONT KNOW!!!!!"

Oda really would troll us by making Buggy become the King of the Pirates😂

@@undergnomes6248 "'The friends you made along the way'? WHAT KIND OF TREASURE IS THAT?!?!"

Yeah, the series could get a bit absurd with the "He's not actually dead!" revelations at times, after milking that "death" for as much drama as possible. Including a certain infamous case in the Alabasta arc. 😀

This could also make a certain dispute between 2 crewmembers in Water 7, if we ever get that far, hit harder as well imo

@@paulgibbon5991The Will of P lives on!

@@paulgibbon5991I’m still bitter about that lmao….it was so beautiful; the most dramatic moment in the whole arc, and one of the few such moments that didn’t belong to a SH, and it was ripped away from us after the fact 🥲

@@SirChoccyMilk I don't know. They didn't hit me in the feelings with Nami's arc in the live action. How are they going to make me feel when you know what happens, or when you they are all together for you know who, or when they are saved by our nakama. *HOW ARE THEY GONNA MAKE ME CRY GOD DAMNIT? IF YOU CAN'T DO IT ITS FUCKING OVER!* Even Tom made me cry. How are they gonna do it?

The show Garp is easier to understand initially, but long term destroys his character. Its gonna be tricky, they are messing with parts of the story that have implications hundereds of chapters down the line. I just hope whatever changes they make remain consistent when adapting later storylines. But for a complete outsider? Sure, Garp seems like a legitimate badass. An actual persistent antagonist, but not evil.

He has so much Mexican energy and I love it!

That's one lucky lad to nail the role of a lifetime!

Well he didn't read/watch any One Piece prior to landing the role.

​@@ssheeesshHe has the decency and respect towards fans to act excited about the role in PR footage. Whether he's a genuine lifelong fan, happy about a new found passion and a role of his lifetime, or if this is just another gig for him, I can't tell. I don't care even if it's all for show, because at least it means he has the professionalism, acting chops, and motivation to act like he's genuinely excited, and that's enough for me.

@@AnnaMorimoto that's valid! It would be foolish to expect all the actors to be lifelong fans. I wish his English was a little stronger, but I don't think he is a bad actor. And if English isn't someone's first language, I bet they'd have zero problems with his performance.

THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!

This, I felt that in regards to my mother and uncle But they really enjoyed it, wanted to continue watching it and even cried

Same here😅

I'm so happy for you unfortunately mine couldn't get past episode 4. I didn't have high hopes they see anything that is too goofy as childish and not worth their time. Well my dad at least. My mum will watch anything if it means spending time with her kids

@@ultraman6644 damn... well it's truly not for everyone, but you tried dude!!

There isn't a better comparison than this, tbh 😂

Not too dissimilar to how video game adaptations are treated, going from the Paramount+ Halo show's contempt of the game canon (which unsurprisingly came back to bite them) to the Super Mario Bros movie being lovingly crafted by people who grew up with the games, even having Miyamoto and Koji Kondo involved to great success.

That is by no means a "growing trend". Look at the first Mario movie, or Fantastic Four. Some high up exec goes to buy the rights for an IP, throws it at someone they know to direct it, and no one involved really gives a shit about the IP, so it tanks, hard.

Oda is also "involved" in a lot of the movies. I wont exactly call them good.

they might not be great but they do feel like one peice tho

Who the hell do they think they are that they mocked Sapkpwski's works? They're a bunch of nobodies.

For Krieg, given his very reduced role, it makes sense they wouldn’t want to make a full physical ship only to destroy it, as there were no scenes of people acting on it. As for the Tower, I’m guessing they wanted to replicate how it was destroyed from the inside out. Particularly the massive amount of debris coming out of each floor. Not to mention seeing Arlong get slammed through each floor.

I'm in the middle of convincing my grandma to watch the first episode with me (not seen it either), just because it is about Pirates. xD

Update - She enjoyed it. Not as much as I did (I was surprised by how well I enjoyed it, but I was expecting Death Note or ... That Forgotten DragonBall Movie)

The first season had a higher budget than any of the seasons of Game of Thrones. And that's going in purely untested with the potential that it could have flopped.

@@SuzakuXyeah but you also see it happen a lot where they pump a first season full of money to get people hooked and then the execs cut the budget for consecutive seasons, cause they already have the watcher base now.

​@@kymaeraa8631one piece will hopefully differentiate that theoretically the money is there

@@SuzakuXthat’s extremely hard to believe than game of thrones? Doubt it highly

That makes sense, as Zoro outright admits in episode 2 that Luffy's determination and care-free attitude is rubbing off on him: _"[I] don't have to [believe in Luffy]; he believes in himself. It rubs off."_

yes! totally agree!

I definitely agree. Garp was seen as very serious in his cover series and it wasn't until after we meet him in Water 7 that we knew he was Luffy's grandpa. Him being rivals/friends with Roger and his entire inner conflict during Marineford with Ace will be so damn heart wrenching and emotionally impactful. Seeing that he totally would have tried to smash Luffy's dream because it was to be the Pirate King, the man he was there for at his execution so to say to save his life from that makes so much sense. And why when Luffy showed the tenacity he did in their end test Garp was able to have less reservations as he knew he wasn't gonna immediately be killed.

It makes even more sense when you realize Luffy left the exact day he turned 17 to be a pirate and left before Garp got there. Since he would have been on his way to Windmill Village to enlist Luffy in the marines so he wouldn’t have become a pirate.

​@@emanuelrodriguez9044Wait, really? I haven't read the entire manga yet and this is so heartbreaking on Garp's side

Ridiculous, yes, but it does happen in real life

​@@StackACatIn a realistic scenario yes, but this is One Piece, where people are blown up and cut in half and survive and Luffy as a child is literally thrown off a cliff by Garp as training (Before eating the Gomu Gomu no Mi)

That ultimately cheapens Zoro's backstory. Kuina being such a swordswomen prodigy was expected to at least become a great warrior, and thus meet her end like a warrior. For her to die so suddenly and anticlimactically makes her life unfulfilled, thus leading to Zoro shouldering the weight of her expectations. Kuina and Zoro promised to become great warriors with Zoro vowing to one day beat Kuina, but her sudden and drab death pulls the rug out from under Zoro. This is why I am so turned off by the changes to the story in Live Action, it cheapens everything and takes out the emotional weight.

​@@StackACatin alabasta a man survives a giant bomb blast point blank

Yeah I don't understand how it's out of character for Garp to try to crush luffys dream of being a pirate when he literally did the same thing in the manga when luffy was young.

It comes down to personal interpretation. Personally, it seemed like Garp never tried as hard to stop Luffy and Ace from being pirates as he could have. Yes, he yelled at them as kids, but he never brought them in for marine training or restrained them when he was absolutely capable of doing so. Even when he finds Luffy in Water 7, he initially says he just wanted to see him and will let the Strawhats go, and then, even when forced by Sengoku to pursue them, goes incredibly easy on them. He's very much all bark and no bite, showing actually a similarity to Luffy and Dragon, where all three are shown to ultimately respect other people's pursuits of their dreams, whatever they are.
