There are a few things in the Live Action that match the manga closer. Like how Luffy's Devil Fruit is revealed when Shanks finds out, which is one of the few things the anime does better than both.
The last OST is called Overtaken and it's one of the most iconic from One Piece. You can find on RU-vid some people playing Overtaken on a piano. The intro music is called We Are and it's also one of the most iconic.
8 Million Berry means is a puny insect in comparison to Shanks. His bounty is way, way bigger in this moment of the series and it's going to increase even more.
Don't worry about how you are doing things right now. Take your time to soak it in. The best approach to One Piece is the one you enjoy the most. I like to slow down now, being very close to caught up, but you should binge or crawl to your hearts content. I binged a lot early on after Arlong Park stole my heart.
Yeah that’s one of the changes in the live action that I genuinely don’t understand. Along with making Shanks do that weird finger pointing thing before Roux shoots the bandit. Just unnecessary confusion that objectively made the flashback worse lol.
@@SeasonedRookieBetter Shanks had a boat saving Luffy than in anime Shanks magically teleported on land from the middle of the ocean dragging Luffy that confused me😂
It's definitely a good thing that you enjoy the music. Toei did a really good job at linking music with particular emotions and different genres of scenes. So when you hear a song start playing you know what's going to happen or you know that you're in for a ride. Some of the best soundtracks of any show
I like how you mention "show not tell." In the live action, there are instances like Shanks telling Luffy directly that "not everything can be solved with violence" or Luffy saying "I'm a different kind of pirate." In the anime and manga, these are very much implied but are never said by the characters.
It was also not just about that. The live action was really into emphasizing that luffy is a different kind of pirate and is heroic and luffy himself thinks that of himself. In the anime luffy doesn't think he's a hero and just wants to be himself and let's people think what they want. Without spoiling, there's a scene way later where someone asks if he's a bad guy because he's a pirate. Luffy says Idk, you can decide for yourself. I get the heroic part is to appeal to the wider audience but I definitely like the original version of luffy more.
Man it's so fun watching your OP reactions!!! It's been a while since I found such a pleasant, observant and just genuinely cool and nice reactor. You're awesome dude!
Shanks is pretty much still a mystery to us fans as well, and not becauee the author doesn't deliver some answers, but with each amswer we get about Shanks, the more mysterious he gets as well
To me the live action Shanks seems to be portrayed more like a stepdad kinda vibe than what it's supposed to be; a pirate that just happened to find this unhinged kid amusing whilst staying in town, sure he is a good guy but still a pirate.
What Shanks did when he saved Luffy is something that's going to be a mystery for you for oh, 400 episodes or so. The real mystery to take from this flashback - why is that hat so precious to Shanks in the first place?
Remember in first episode Luffy and Koby are talking in the Bar. Luffy's one of the plans was to catch a bird and infiltrate the Marine base. It was an easter egg reference to the ending scene.
I respect so much that you pay attention to the music in the show, very few people would do that. I am 70s progressive music guru, and music is my passion. So believe me, it's not that clear yet, I mean it's only 4th episode, but music in this show will be SOOO GREAT, especially with budget boost later on. Kohei Tanaka is truly very very great composer. His osts will amaze you. Thanks for the video
I knew you’d love the two tracks “To the Grand Line” and “Overtaken”. Literally my two favorite tracks from the OST. Every scene they’re used in is epic af (To the Grand Line plays during Shank’s farewell to Luffy and Overtaken plays at the end of the episode)
So nice seeing you laugh to the funny bits this anime has. Looking forward to seeing multiple eps per reaction, probably needed too, since depending on how long into the anime you're planning on watching it could take forever.
The humor is right up my alley. And yeah, multiple episode reactions just make sense honestly, and it's been the most requested thing for me since I started the show
After the live action came out, i was looking forward to seeing new one piece fans and oh boy i think you are the best of all the reaction channels so far. I love it when you talk about the music and when you express your feelings about one piece. I am very hyped for the future and watching this on youtube feels like we are watching it together and that's such a cool feeling.
Mikey: "Dude, Shanks is very interesting to me. Like, he's such an enigma to me.... There's something that very much draws me to him..." Me after watching the whole series and reading the manga multiple times: "Same dude... such an enigma... such an interesting character!"
Glad you like the music. The Live Action had some great music, but the Anime's music is top tier - especially in later episodes, but the early episodes music is still very, very good.
Luffy mentions in the live action how will he get into the Marine base; he says to Koby that he might get on a bird to enter there. That was a reference to this scene in anime where Luffy is literally carried away by that bird.
The thing about One Piece, is that when you don't think it could possibly get better, it does. Again, and again. The sheer length of the series can attest to this truth.
This is no spoiler. It's revealed in a SBS that the one with the meat is named Lucky Roux and the one who beat up the bandits is the first mate named Benn Beckman.
Note: in the manga basically the first appearance of Nami was in that scene at the beginning of this EP :3 Basically in the live-action, when Shanks grab the arm of Luffy and they realize about his power was accurate like in the manga :D The big guy with googles its Lucky Roux The tall and long haired guy is Benn Beckman A shame that they cut the bird part in the live-action (ROFTL) PS: the scene that the hat flying away and Zoro catching up, a friend of mine said "why Luffy just dont catch it quickly with his gum gum arm? And my another freind said "Because that scene must to be LIKE THAT!" (he understand XD)
Funny that you mention Tarantino, as Oda is actually a fan and has a handful of references to his movies in the series. Sanji’s look is even inspired by Mr. Pink from Reservoir Dogs.
when you said don't tell me. we'll find out in due time, i remember how i found out in time what it was. i was in DUUUUUUUUUUUUUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE TIME.
Shanks putting the hat on Luffy so that Luffy's tears would be hidden is subtle but great. Shanks realizes Luffy doesn't want to be seen crying in front of others. The number of male characters with emotional intelligence in One Piece is great. And it in no way takes away from the female characters. The 4 boys putting the tangerine trees on the boat for Nami is a great way to show affection without any words. All 5 of the crew had gained 4 siblings/Nakama.
Enjoy the first part of one piece as much as you can, i truly think its the best part of the show ! The later is good but that feeling of discovering the world is something you cant have twice !
The climax of the next saga is literally peak action with perfect classical music combination i think if anything that would show you what this story is truly capable of 💯
Can't wait to see more! I've stopped watching at episode 800 a few years ago and decided to just rewatch it recently. Instead of watching alone, it's fun rewaching it with someone and I like your reaction vids! Honestly, even if I'm not updated with the anime, with One Piece, I'm finding myself very patient with consuming the episodes (rewatching) because I swear, once I catch up, I feel like there's not enough. So here I am. Haha!
I never clicked on video faster with shanks being in thumb nail..he is my FAVORITE CHARACTER I LOVE SHANKS!! he needs more love. It's because of peter/shanks in LA that I wanted to start the anime! Now I'm on this great adventure and am loving it!!! Currently on ep 150
"This guy's ego is through the roof" Honestly, comparatively, the mountain bandit that got snacked on is down right humble when you consider some of the people you meet down the line. Anyway, I like the bit with Luffy and the Bird in this part because it shows how Zoro is pretty much already loyal to Luffy even if they met like a couple days ago. I mean, Zoro could of very easily watched Luffy get bird-napped and went "Welp, thats that then" and left. However he starts chasing Luffy immediately. It's just an early showing of why Zoro will be the First Mate, he's the most loyal to Luffy out of anyone.
So great! can’t wait for more than 1 ep reactions. :D Wish they kept the swimming part in live action, so that it would be impossible to confuse, when I was watching it long time ago I thought Shanks must be sooo badass that creatures just listen to him. In live action it was confused with devil fruit xD but again, I guess it’s also okay, as it might have been much harder to film in the water than in a boat. XD
I loved the Live Action Shanks but god do I adore anime/manga Shanks. Although it is very hard to make an actual human man look cool when acting that silly so I totally get the changes to how they portray the character. In the end they kept his kindness and patience and that's what mattered to me.
As much as people love to push the adventure aspect of this series, or it's deep themes or emotional moments, this series is very much also a comedy. There is something goofy happening. Luffy is rubber because it provides Oda with the means to make a joke or gag at pretty much anytime. So the series never gets too serious.
Man if you think the music is good now just you wait. The music really sold some scenes for me later on and is also what hooked me onto this show. Glad you’re enjoying so far!
Now that you have seen Ep 4, the anime is different than the manga in starting eps as well. Manga had this episode as Chapter 1, while anime had freaking Koby as Ep 1. It is said that Chapter 1 is among the best so far for selling the series to someone. Live action did balance both mediums, Koby and Shanks.
Well, a little Frenchman in France in your community. I subscribed. I watched your first 4 one piece videos and if you continue, I will follow the adventure. A little double episode from time to time would be nice. Have a good adventure and enjoy.
watching your journey through this is gonna be fun. i recently just caught up with the manga after starting it last year and it was such a satisfying feeling, and sometimes i wish i could start over with a fresh mind to experience it all over again
Me who just read the latest chapter, still having questions about shanks but knowing that we are now finally maybe maybe getting one of his back stories.
Alright you conviced me, I'll be joining you on this adventure which will be a rewatch for me but a much needed one. Thanks to you I realize how good the early episodes of one piece are. Looking forward to the rest of it !!!
Seeing you enjoy yourself (& laughing) while watching the anime for the first time is so good. Hope you enjoy your journey until you get to where we are ;). Don't rush and enjoy 😊
As you can see the anime censors a few scenes that are in the live action/manga. For instance the anime gets rid of Luffy getting his scar by cutting himself. Which is due to Japanese broadcast laws.
yeah Shanks is certainly way more playful and mischievous towards luffy, and gets a lot more silly moments aside from that (like freaking outwhen he realsies luffy got kidnapped again during the battle) and it only makes it hit harder when he shows off that he's a PIRATE and not just a mere silly man. "Guns are not toys. When you point it at someone, you shoot." "Fight fair? We're pirates." (sorry not exact quotes) (also if you have trouble keeping with the story or missing things while trying to talk about stuff, you can always pause the episode to speak, only if you want to of course :3 Just if you have troubles)
I see alot of streamers don't look at the titles cuz of possible spoilers. For me I rather look what's up I about to see. Just personal preference. The story gets better each time
Luffy gets caught by a bird and in the live action in the restaurant where they meet zoro he mentions to koby that he could ride a bird into the marine base
If you recall in the 1st episode of the live action, Luffy tells Koby he should grab onto a bird to infiltrate the marine base. Koby tells Luffy that's a terrible idea. The end of this episode shows that Koby was right. Edit: Oh and the music at the end of this episode is called Overtaken and is one if the iconic OSTs from the anime.
I’m remembering and enjoying so much. I never made it through the whole series, but East Blue and the subsequent arcs are a ton of fun, with interesting characterization and storytelling. No spoilers, but I think you’ll find certain villains much more intimidating / compelling here than in the LA. Villains are allowed to be villainous and have you hate them without leaving off the important aspect of empathy, and that’ll come across. I will say I’m very much enjoying hearing the score played over again, it’s fantastic.
It's not a spoiler, but it will become apparent, that Oda the creator of One Piece is a big fan of yakuza movies from the 70s. He also likes professional wrestling, vikings, Alice in Wonderland and Wizard of Oz.
Anime edited out Luffy scarring him, because of rules of television, cannot have a Kid stabbing himself...while Netflix is a separate service so they can do it. Imagine what else could have been cut for the anime in this season. Live action matched the manga.
Awesome that you're doing this! Definitely the right choice to do multiple episodes. I would recommend consulting a list of filler episodes so you can easily skip those (for example, episodes 54-60 are completely non-canon). Also, later on (around 200-300 episodes in) the pacing of the show becomes a bit too slow due to them catching up to the manga and not having enough material per episode to adapt. A good solution for this would be to eventually switch to "One Pace", which is a fan project that fixes these issues.
I love that you express your thoughts during the scenes, but I'm afraid you might be missing some dialogue, maybe i feel that way cuz of the editing, idk
It’s most likely because of the editing. I’ve become very good at reading subtitles and talking at the same time, but I also do cut out a lot of the things I say. But there will be times for sure that I will miss stuff
@MikeyVenture shouldnt be a problem because theres always time in the future to realize the things youve missed. People who watch reactions just want your reactions immediately lmao
Gotta say little disappointed in Shanks for letting one of his men commit murder right in front of a kid, considering it wasn't needed. I know Shanks states their pirates and all but he's a good guy all the same.
hold thru.., episodes 350-400, is when if fully starts to evole and starts to go GOAT-like (Boa Hancock & Impel down & Marineford.., those 3 parts chained together kick off the GOAT of One Piece.., hold thru!) ... before its kind of "same"-ish, but with interesting and important characters..)
I loooooove the devil fruit reveal in the anime too! But I feel like in a more realistic setting like the live action it would have looked ridiculous, besides the idea of someone holding a irl 10 year old up by his ankles, why was the devil fruit just sitting out in the open Shanks!! 😭
