@@Arbalest-vy5jzI low-key felt like they were gonna start a romance between zoro and nami when they were drinking together. I know zoro has unintentional rizz in the anime but they could ask irl actor to perhaps change the tone of voice to seem less rizzy
@@MammalianCreatureno he didn't why add that rabbit line but not the I don't have a smaller instrument those two could perfectly fit plus it's also very cold lines my point is that some lines could be added and some removed
Most of it was fine to me but all of the rush attacks and lack of wounds was pretty anticlimactic for me. The sword shattering part was pretty cool though
@@anenemystand5582Tbh i think they need to add effects like some people on youtube already making amazing live action anime fights where every attack feels as powerful as attacks in the anime.
The swordsmith Hanzo Hattori, who appears in Quentin Tarantino's "Kill Bill," is the biological father of Mackenyu, who played Zoro. Shinichi Chiba. He is a famous Japanese action actor. Makkenyu in the Japanese movie ``Rurouni Kenshin'' was also wonderful. In fact, he was taught martial arts and karate by his father, Shinichi Chiba, from an early age. His real name Makkenyu, written in kanji, means "to help people with the sword of truth." I think he was destined for this role from the time he was born. His father, Shinichi Chiba, died of pneumonia in August 2021.
Like a lot of people said, the only thing that the live action was missing is that Zoro starts to get desperate near the end of the fight and downright terrified of dying after being slashed by Mihawk. Stating that “The gap between us can’t be this big!” The live action is great, but having that one key moment in it would’ve made it extraordinary
Exactly what I was thinking, the key of this moment is Zoro confronting with the reality of what being the greatest swordsman actually means. Up to this point Zoro always thought he had a chance, but facing Mihawk makes him desperate and doubt his own potential. Zoro in his fight is too calm 😂
There's a saying about good writing - "show, don't tell". We don't need Zoro's dialogue, because we are witnessing it. And at the end, we know Zoro knows it as well. I get this is a case where Anime fans might be mad he didn't say a line, but for someone who is just a passive fan of the manga and anime, who tuned into the live action, NOT having it made more sense as that line is really good for kids who need everything spelled out to them, but for a more mature audience, it would have read as a really corny line.
The whole crew including nami, usopp are alooottt calmer than the anime and nami seems 10 times more emotional in every scene compared to the original. Child luffy's personality is also complete opposite of the anime. Its better to just enjoy the show as it's own because LA is alot more serious while the anime is more cartoony and goofy.
@@user-j1spswelskisjfor me I think the worst part is they nerfed luffy and made it seem like zoro is stronger than luffy and is the mc, not fully but you know what I mean. Luffy just isn’t as athletic as he is in the anime and manga either. But it’s whatever it’s a LA so 🤷🏽♂️
Only nitpick I have is how Zoro barely uses the 3rd sword but I do understand that having an actor/stuntman keep a sword in his mouth during fight scenes can be pretty complicated so it's all good. This adaptation is still really good regardless
It's easy to have a character hold a sword in their mouth for a whole fight scene in an anime since it's just an illustration, but it's impossible to expect the same when adapting it to live action. It's just too demanding.
1. I really don't like live adaptations, but this looks really good. I love how they portrayed Mihawk. 2. This is literally like watching a white belt train with a black belt in BJJ.
Before this I was the most skeptical of this considering how all other anime live actions before this have been terribly butchered but after giving it a shot I’m glad that this One Piece Live Action has been executed very well
The fact that Sanji didn't saw this fight was not a good choice, because this impossible to win fight of Zoro and Luffy's impossible to achieve Pirate king dream was what inspired Sanji to also go chase his impossible dream, the All Blue...
Did you fking even watch the show at all or were you spacing out during the whole fking thing....they obviously used luffy and sanji's talk as a replacement for that you fking dipsht
@@Khann_2102 yeah, it wasn’t such a hard a thing to make Sanji watch the fight. He was literally there inside the Baratie… well, maybe they didn’t thought of that i think…
We don't know if Sanji has watched the fight, they didn't show us but probably he did, because Sanji was the one saving Luffy. It's an off screen scene, I would prefer to see it too, but it doesn't change the fact that Sanji was there too. (Even in the manga there are a lot of off screen scenes)
I was not disappointed in the live action fight. The flash backs really shows this version of Zoro and how that promise he made is driving him. Anime is anime, but theres some things you cant add to live action or it will make it suck.
It was so slow and cut of from the original, but I understand that in that in the anime the fight is literally inhuman athleticism at a level not possible with out CGI, but it's passible none the less. But the same feeling from the anime was still there and that was amazing, it got me so into it that I was focusing on the live action more! I'm gonna give it a try!
@@grimreaper5864 Sure no one denied the original is better, but at least one piece live action is far better than those others live action anime... deal with it
I wish the live action zoro facially expressed both his fear, disappointment and pride at the end. He was scared of dying after that strike but at the same time was full of pride for not turning his back. But in the live action his face just stays the same like he's not threatened, scared or prideful.
That was my complaint too, doesn’t help that his voice just sounds the same too, Zoro is literally fiery all the time but live action version just always sounds like he can’t be bothered lol
It’s good acting and fighting and all but there is something missing.. Zoro internal dialogue of saying “The gap can’t be this big between us” added so much tension in the anime, felt bad they left it
@@mogensgallardo3288 I think it's more so that the original source was from a manga and most adaptations follow every dialogue present there. Unlike anime, though, they are just static and require the monologues for full comprehension of a scene. They can remove monologues in anime as long as they portray it properly in animation.
@@Hobie02425 meanwhile, you're so used to bad adaptations from original sources that you just take it in like a good dog no matter how shit and far away and unemotional the script is.
@@ShiraKiryuu Most adaptations skip the inner monologue and just focus on retelling that emotion from the inner monologue thru their acting. Only one were you see it maintained is manga to anime because it easier for an almost 1:1 recreation
@@Hobie02425Nah, without the internal dialogue we just see Zoro trying his balls off trying to get a single hit in, which might be the breakthrough to him landing more. With the internal dialogue we can see he's not just a gutsy dude, he's a cerebral fighter whose only response to seeing the skill gap between him and the real deal is denial. Makes the conclusion of him taking his loss head on more impactful: he's accepted he really is a big fish in a small pond.
I don’t think we’ll be getting one sadly. There still the actor and writers strike going on. Unless the show keeps growing I don’t think season two will be green lit. At least for awhile.
@@mattsvlogs5572 nah the amount of signs the actors gave especially nami and ussops actors for a possible season two is so obvious during interviews, i think there would be one
@@jakesunghoonstan2690 idk, I just know the actors and writers strike will make it difficult. If we do get a season 2, it won’t be for 2-3 years. Plus the actors have no say or idea if they are green lit for a season 2. They can talk like it will be in interviews as hope, but Namis and Usopps actors have no idea if they’re green lit. It’s up to Netflix and their executives to make that decision. That’s not happening with this strike, unless the show makes them a lot of money. I promise you that they don’t know if it’s getting a season 2 and it doesn’t seem likely. That’s my opinion, I hope I’m proven wrong and season 2 even better. I thought that this first season was. Alright. It’s not bad, but it’s not great. Its an amazing live action adaption, but it’s a decent show in general at the most. Stinks cause the manga is a work of art.
The whole movie has me shevering cuz of how lame they are, but overall, still a great job, but they should also add some edits into it to lesser the freaking awkwardness
they managed to adapt that fight without it looking cartoonish which would feel off. They actually went for a cinematographic fight which is the only way to make it look good. If only other adaptations did that
@@darkfafnir4389 it doesn't looks slow at all, people in real life don't move faster than light and trying to directly repeat the moves from the anime would make it look bad
@@bj_cat103 yes one piece isn't real life... people don't stretch like rubber but they did that...man you 🤡🤡🐑🐑 will try and say anything to defend the dumpster fire
@@darkfafnir4389 Lol definitely not slow and terrible, it was very good. The fight scenes in this show and specially Zoro’s was one of my favorite parts.
Boy at first I startet a bit nervous bout the cast. But now I can really say they absolutely did a fantastic job. Mihawk's and ARLONG's actors just freaking NAILED it!!
Really I think the voice is very sassy. I’m not a fan. He sounds more like a spoiled child turned adult rather than an fancy vampire wielding a giant sword. And mihawk’s sword isn’t as giant as it should be it looks weird tbh. But I understand the limitations.
@@SecondSoulo what i hope fans like you, that will watch the live action, is to ditch their expectations and not expect it to be exactly like the anime, cause live actions will never be exactly like the anime, just dont compare the two and let this be a separate things from the anime, cause the live action really does look amazing
@@l95027 I appreciate you hoping something so positive from fans like me. But fans like you have to understand that it’s not realistic for passionate fans of the series to not compare the live action to the animated series being as the live action is quite literally an adaptation of the original series. And we understand that the live action could never be exactly like the anime or manga. We don’t really understand the need to have made it live action in the first place considering how popular the original media was. People like me just wish they never created it to begin with. That’s nothing against oda, the actors (who are great people), and all the staff that put hard work into the live action show. It’s just that quite literally no one asked for it to my knowledge. (There was no large part of the community demanding it). If there was I’ll retract my entire comment and with the show the best of luck. And unfortunately I will not be watching the live action.
@@SecondSoulo it was odas decision to co sign the project, oda wanted this to come to life, so it doesn’t matter if the fans didn’t want it, ultimately it’s the creators decision, and let’s be real nobody is gonna force you to watch it, the choice is up to you if you want to watch it or not, so if you don’t like what you see from the trailers and such, then don’t even bother looking into the trailers and reviews and all that
@@l95027 I think oda co signed the project just to make sure they didn’t fuck up his work. I didn’t hear anything about oda wanting his show to become live action. And I didn’t bother looking into trailers or reviews. I saw a comparison of the show with the anime pop up on my suggested. And I see parts of the show on ads everywhere. I don’t plan on watching the show or going under comments slandering/complaining. I just saw this one comparing the two and was curious. Why are you being so defensive?
Most films are only 2hrs long. The One Piece live action, each episode is already 1hr long. I'd rather have 5 episodes of the the arc than a full movie.
@MrXela9 Tbh it's kinda cool they introduced baroque workers like that, since in the manga when zoro first meets the entire bulk of baroque he says that they invited him to their ranks
Not gonna lie, i hate three thing here. 1. Zoro doesn't talk shit. He might enrage an opponent like Pica but only after being messed with first. Ive always taken this as a sign that Zoro doesn't care for chit chat in a fight, and is ALWAYS about the fight itself. 2. When Mihawk stabs Zoro and asks "Why don't you retreat?" Zoro initially replied with "Then I would lose ground" showing that Zoro will always take pain for progress. The movie reply really just makes him look like a wannabe. Which he is technically, but never acted like it. And finally 3. Sanji NEEDED to see this fight. It's pivotal to Sanji's development that he sees someone pursuing their dream even in the face of death, as Sanji gave up on his dream before and chained himself to the Baratie. Good adaptation so far, those are just my personal gripes
I know it’s little but I wish they kept zoro calling luffy the king of the pirates in his promise. It’s the moment zoro fully accepts and takes on luffys promise and you can feel that in the anime.
Yes, Zoro shows awesome choreography and posture. I was hypnotized by his moves in the fight with Cats when he slowed down to put that special sword in sheath.
They use his experience as Enishi Yunishiro in Rurouni Kenshin to the fullest. I can see that some of the choreography looks a bit similar to Rurouni Kenshin's choreography. That's why I always think the action was pleasing to the eyes. It just so good
@@byakuyafy Are you seriously telling me that 5y.o. JAPANESE low cost adaptations with 0 actor play and dumb cardboard cosplay is better than 2023th million dollar American one?
They really put their all into Zoro's fights in the live action Makes sense given the limitations that are gonna be there for Luffy's fight to pad more time with Zoro action - though im looking forward to their duel in reverse mountain
I get that zoro doesnt call out his attacks but i wish that they still made him do his onikiri attack so we could get that moment where hes mindfucked that mihawk blocks it
I didn't get it. The attack names is one of the main things that define anime. This was fan disservice by not having him call out his name. The internet would have exploded if he went "Shishi Sonson"
I finished it a few minutes ago, it was pretty good... A few changes, some actually more welcome than others, and unfortunately a few missing characters... But I'm interested in the future of the series.
It didn't nail pacing but it did do well for what it is. The pacing is just way to fast because they have to get through all these chapters in 8 episodes
@@The_present-vy6hx it's not bad at all but not perfect and it felt more like a big introduction to the characters and the story as of rn because if they do make a season 2 they should definitely improve on the pacing and some of the acting for certain characters but either than that the main cast and important parts of the show are really well made. Personally though I didn't like syrup village in this adaptation but everything to me was cool
Just watched the series..incredible..story has been changed alot to make it quicker but the performances and fight choreography is 10 out of 10..brliiant series..shanks casting and performance was a little let down tho
@deepnag1442 I don't think Namis that big of a deal. She's still far weaker than the monster trio and she didn't even have a fight scene in Arlong Park at all. Her being able to take down some lowly marine grunts feels like an improvement so she's actually somewhat competent
@@braedenmahar597 but do you remember the stick that nami used to fight at the beginning if I remember it correctly usopp made it for her stretching and all …new changes made are good but namis character itself was not fearless like that was potrayed here from the beginning
As much as I appreciate that everyone is really enjoying the live action adaptation, I can’t help but feel that the action lacks the speed and weight of the animation. It’s very clearly had a lot of love and attention put into it, but it still feels like a really well made RU-vid video. Still happy that it’s bringing new people to the fandom, it’s just not really for me.
The only reason id even think to give this a chance is because of DBZ light of Hope which was fan made and Rurouni Kenshin live action movies. And i gotta say, whoever directed Light of Hope and did the affects need to be part of this and help these guys emphasis the physicality of one piece
Mihawk can parry and deflects most zoro's attack with only a knife in the anime/manga but in the live action he does parry/deflect but he mostly dodges It is very difficult fighting 2 sword and a smalll knife in real life because mostly in real life we dodge and it hardly to clash with it and let alone parry .In the early battle I think they made zoro ( Mackenyu) fight with 2 swords and instead with 3 is because it will be difficult to fight while he has hold the sword in his mouth and especially if he has to say something in the script but they manage to follow the anime/manga by letting zoro use 3 sword style in the end.
Nigga, chill. Fighting in anime can never be the same as that in real movies. As someone that initially hated the idea of a live action, this was actually nice.
@@strawzgaming6153 Lol no you wouldn't. The anime and manga has far more emotion. While this clearly feels like a fan made adaptation. There is clearly some passion there. But there's also a lot of self insertion and director bias.
@@mee091000 live adaptation no need to follow 100% same bro...this is what live adaptation mean... can't you just appreciate it? At least it's better they make live adaptation then not making at all
I wish Zoro's character was as animated as Buggy, Mihawk and Luffy's. Those 3 are the only people in my mind really portray their characters almost perfectly.
I don’t know, the film adaptation for me personally looks like a high-quality fan craft. It's a great imitation of the original, but overall there's no sense of tension in the film adaptation. the reaction of Zoro's friends is lukewarm and inauthentic. everything feels budget and too “plastic”
i feel like not enough emotion was shown in the live action, neither mihawk or zoro smiled once, whereas in the anime they are both seen to be visibaly enjoying the fight
I hate how much they emulated the coreography and even the camera angles while missing the soul of the scene. In the original Zoro doesn't actually think he'll win and it's very clear from his inner monologue even before the fight, he just feels like he must fight, while LA Zoro was acting very cocky and confident; in the original during the fight we hear Zoro's inner monologue about him realizing just how deep the gap is between him and Mihawk, in the LA we hear hispanic music; in the original Yoru is used as a sign of respect, here it feels like Zoro is holding back until Mihawk draws his blade (since they really didnt want to do Three Sword Style xD) and lastly the emotions are dulled down a lot (this is a problem of the whole LA to be honest). Is Three Sword Style such a logistic problem? Just have him use TWO swords, it's better than him keeping the Wadda Itchy Monkey sheethed for 90% of the time.
Biggest issue is Mihawk Live Action doesnt show enough interest throughout the dialogue. A lot of it has to do with the change in the lines used. Asking Zoros name and stating how he would remember it with such a serious countenance is what really sells it in the anime. Then Zoros actor honestly just sounds tired with a grungy voice. There's no intensity or conviction in any of his lines. Visually there arent enougt glares from the swords, sparks, shockwaves, etc. Also too many close up face shots instead of the wide shots of the anime.
OK, let's get into this. This isn't an anime, so they aren't gonna announce every thought and feeling they have. Instead they use context. Before this fight we see Mihawk cut down an entire fleet and he states its cause they woke him from a nap. Clearly this guy doesn't respect life and has no qualms about killing inferior swordsmen. The moment he sees luffy and recognises his hat, he starts to get interested. And then when zoro shows skill and doesn't retreat from his stab he shows more interest before seeing zoro accept his fate and sheathe his sword. At this point we see in his face, mihawk connects the dots. This zoro guy is pretty interesting, yet he considers himself luffy's subordinate... and luffy is wearing shanks' hat... this luffy kid isn't some punk. This fight was literally used to convey to mihawk THROUGH zoro that luffy is special. Mihawk sparing luffy is BECAUSE he finds zoro interesting and he didn't have to keep saying it over and over. As for zoros voice, this is how zoro would sound without the exaggerated grunts and gasps of an anime. Zoro is stoic. As for the flashes and effects... I dont think you know how goofy that would look in live action. You don't want it , trust me.
@@madmintentertainment6268To clear up a lot. I'm gonna state exactly why Zoro considers himself a subordinate to Luffy. It's because, pun fully intended here, Luffy gives Zoro's ambitions a sense of direction. Think about it. Without Luffy, Zoro would still be just a bounty hunter... a strong one, but a bounty hunter all the same. He wouldn't be nearly as capable of making an attempt to be the strongest swordsman because he'd be much more worried about keeping a roof over his head.
I'm sorry, but it seems like a fan made to me, not only because of the overacted faces that the protagonists make, but because of the camera scenes themselves.
The problem isn't that it's live action it's the fact that live action rarely focuses on details that give the action impact such as screen shake or hit sparks from the blades
