    Probably one of the best live-action adaptation of a manga/anime. Very enjoyable!

    Ok, live-action adaptation of a manga of all things and does not suck?!?! From Netflix?!?!?! That is something i did not expect.
    Of course it is too early to tell how it will go, but it is a very pleasant surprise. Lets be hopeful, let be cautious. Lets not forget Cowboy Bebop trashfire just yet.

    Great adaptation. I have always considered One Piece to be the most unadaptable to live action property I could ever imagine. There is just so much ridiculousness and outrageous powers that it was crazy to think of the difficulty of translating it to real actors and sets.

I liked how the story was adapted for a modern audience without breaking too much of the original storyline. The overall mood was suitably silly and humorous to keep a twinkle in the eye amidst all the fighting and sadness. Just right to be called One Piece. I'm really happy that this was produced, and I'm really looking forward to the next season.… Expand

    Solid foundation this season has brought to the table with all it could for one season. As a fan from nearly the beginning of the manga this is a great adaptation. It's very hard to properly translate a manga/anime to live action and Bleach and One Piece has done it right.

    Finally, Netflix delivers manga/anime adaptation in complete piece! The story, characters acting, and visuals are excellent. The only drawback is the action and fighting sequence feel kinda slow and sterile, so it needs major upgrade for the next season.

    Netflix had the difficult task of making a Live Action on a deeply cartoonish universe. That is to say that it is not only a question of rendering a few superheroes well in a realistic universe but rather of re-creating the entire fantastic universe of One Piece (the islands, the boats, the fish men, the particular style of iconic secondary characters and pirates).

    Another problem that presented itself to them was to manage to keep the spirit of the manga with 5 times less viewing time. It is precisely here that the term re-adaptation makes sense. It is by reorganizing the events that they succeed without time acceleration mechanics (like 5 days later, etc.) in preserving the logic of the story, presenting the dreams and the story of each person, the elements which pushes them and their relationships to evolve, while being fluid and natural.

    5 stars because although I had no doubt that the aficionados were going to have the best time overall. I didn't think the series was going to succeed in conquering the Grand Line. I have the impression that Luffy makes everyone smile!!    … Expand

    It is good enough. If you are a fan of original you are going to like it. If you are new to one piece, it can be bit confusing, but I think you could still get hooked anyway. Unfortunately if you never watch any anime at all, then it is probably not for you because of many over the top actions that does not have to be everyones cup of tea.

    Although the adaptation rushes quite a lot of content from the anime/manga, it does work to an acceptable degree.

    I've been reading/watching One Piece since childhood and judged the series to be nearly impossible to bring to the TV, but Netflix actually managed to make it work without entirely disrupting its content.

    I also feel that they focused too much in tertiary characters like Coby and Buggy that are barely important in the main story.

Les décors sont assez bien réalisé, les musiques sont moins marquantes que l'anime mais elle sont tout de même très bien. Le gros soucis étant certains acteurs qui ne collent pas du tout au personnage. 8/10

En resumen es una historia dinámica, divertida y con gran corazón, los personajes son entrañables y te importa lo que les pase. AME como adaptaron el mundo de One Piece a la realidad, en el sentido que muchas cosas que son de "caricaturas" o muy "locas" de la historia de Oda Sensei tienen sentido en este mundo único.

    The genuine silliness of the original manga is there, and the main characters are incredibly convincing. At least in the first few episodes, the sets and costumes don't always seem up to par with the production, but luckily they're not the most important factor in enjoying this series.

It handles its mission of adapting and introducing people to the world of One Piece pretty well. All in all, it's a good experience, a fun and silly one, while retaining its seriousness where it has to be, and it succeeds, to my picky fan's eye, to encapsulate the beginnings of Straw Hats' journey.
    Yes, sometimes what fans deem important does not align with writers' choices, and there are things to nitpick and argue about. But I can tell the producing staff showed their love for the story and the world and did the best they could. At the very least, my hopes were justified, and my fears were dispersed. Do not forget the original story for this arc was written in late 90s, and by Japanese author. Adapting this to the modern and specifically western audience can be a challenge.
    I liked how it turned out, and I fell in love with my favorite characters again, found more interest in characters I didn't pay much attention back in the day, and if it isn't the purpose of new re-adaptations, I don't know what it is.
    The characters stayed true to their origins with some changes, the story is remixed and adapted to be more concise and inertwined. There is more context, and some scenes added in were a decent trade for the scenes that were cut. The inclusions of some - not spoilering - plotlines are also seem justified and even for the better, if we're going further with it.    … Expand

    That can be a good thing, that can be a bad thing.

    The story is told in a way where you do not need all the sidestories from the original but:

    Because of the fast pace of the storie i miss the deeper connections the crew has with the people around them.
    Mostly if the people around them (the Crew) are connected with their past.
    So Sanji´s decicion, as an example, to join Luffy´s Crew feels more childish, like a kid runs away from home because someone was mean.

    The lack of deeper connections, so the viewer can catch and follow their emotions, is my main critic on this show.

    Overall OPLA (One Piece Live Action) has a very special atmosphere, the acting of the crew and the marines are good, others are sometimes only okay.
    If you know the Original you see all the love they did put into the show, that they really tried to do the most without CGI.
    The fights are nice to watch, the camera movement is great. Not static but not too fast as well. Overall i can say that OPLA is not perfect but i had my fun watching it.

    If there will be a Season 2 i hope the same people are working on it because it seems they work fine together and because they sure learned much about how to handle OPLA so the next Season deoes not need over 6 years till it is done    … Expand

    I'll admit I've never watched the anime or read the manga for this before, I saw that the anime was over 900 episodes long and dipped out, but be that as it may the characters were extremely fun, had great chemistry and was just instantly likeable, I very much enjoyed this show and I'm eagerly waiting for a second season.

    It was way better than I thought it would be! Would be a 9 but episodes 3-4 were weaker than the rest. Overall I’m excited to see how they adapt the rest of the show! Hopefully they don’t change too much.

So let's take a look!

    It's no exaggeration to say that this series set a new standard for similar adaptations in the future. Their commitment to aesthetics, and their care in knitting the cartoonish side of the manga, and the realist side of live-action together, without offending the logic of each side, finally managed to present an adaptation that was not only a tool to justify the new medium, but more of a tool to appreciate both worlds!

    They used a new aspect, realism, not to insult the cartoonist logic that is ingrained in the fan perspective. Instead of removing the comical factors because they don't make sense, they copy them to a realistic level that makes sense. So at the same time, they can lead fans to understand that there are things that have to be lowered for the realistic realm to work, and also show that there are new things here that were previously unexplored in the cartoonist realm.

    That's also because the East Blue Saga, when compared to the other sagas, is the weakest in terms of structure. Eiichiro Oda, the creator, at this point had yet to understand how big the scope of the world he was going to create was, so the connection between plots was minimal. But three decades on, fans have a good idea of the scope of what's being talked about, and those behind the series clearly understand how to utilize it to build a more perfect world-building! As a result, it's not just a new rendition, but rather additional content that expands the overall lore of the series.

    But there is a price to pay for realism in adapting a work as cartoonish as this, especially when it comes to "impact": In the manga, One Piece relies heavily on the juxtaposition of silly moments to serious moments, in building up the suspension towards the impact panels, which will be the main emphasis in the resolution of the entire conflict. The loss of the ridiculousness characteristics for the characters, makes the series limp in establishing the motivation towards those impactful moments. The relationship between the characters and the conflict often feels awkward, because there are actually silly moments there in the original source material to break the ice, but they are absent or minimized here in the interest of conducive realism. It is unfortunate that many of the impactful moments in this adaptation are ineffective when compared to its predecessor. Proving that the cartoonish side of the story is not just a gimmick, but absolutely integral to One Piece.    … Expand

    Surprisingly not bad. It does cut out a couple of things, while folding in others. If you have read/watched One Piece you will notice that somethings are different, some characters are where they are not supposed to be, some who are supposed to be here are not, etc. As an adaptation it is fine and quite enjoyable and I think a large part of what makes it so fun is the acting.

    Incredible. I've always been a One Piece lover and was scared to death that they were going to screw it up. They didn't, awesome. The actors, impressive, the rhythm of the story, great, the action scenes, more than acceptable and how it has recreated the universe in general is incredible. The only thing I hope is that seasons with the same quality continue to come out.

    The respect for the show is there, the story is not 1:1, but that's ok as long as they respect the characters origin. You can clearly see, how the actors try to give a good performance and I even see some having fun with their characters. The chemistry between the crew is ok (could be better, but good enough).

    Edit: Just finished the show and I must say of all the fails I imagined to happen this surely was on the list, but somehow Netflix pulled it off. The actors really give their all, be it the main crew or side chars. Especially Buggy is a joy to watch. The respect towards the original work is present. Kudos to everyone involved. It's not perfect but for LA One Piece, it's incredible how close it gets.    … Expand

    I’ve been watching anime since the 80’s but never seen One Piece or read the manga, and attempts of live action anime, are almost always terrible - so I was cautious.
    That said, I’ve thoroughly enjoyed this from episode 2 onwards. Looking forward to more.

    TL;DR - Never watched the anime, but I think I am glad I did not. OP has great characters, an infectious energetic and positive Main Character or MC as we call them in our little weeb world and the right mindset of wanting to tell a good story over all the nonsense that plagues modern media these days.

OP has great characters, an infectious energetic and positive Main Character or MC as we call them in our little weeb world and the right mindset of wanting to tell a good story over all the nonsense that plagues modern media these days.

    The Good

    I cannot stop feeling charged up every time the MC yells over the top of his lungs, or says it with quiet resolve "I will be the King of the Pirates." Luffy is one character that has always aluded me in my anime watches, the anime show's color palate was always a little too psychedelic for my enjoyment so I never got around to watching it. But in retrospect I think it works out well, Nami, Sanji, Zoro, Usopp, Buggy Grandpappy Garp and most of the extended cast were amazing to experience for the first time. After the Live action show I even tried to go back to the anime and see if my taste has imporved, but even though I knew what was going on the color was still a little too in my face, and now I fully admit after all these years of shunning OP, this was a 'Me' problem.

    Buggy was my favourite character in all of the show, and I am glad we are going to be seeing more of him, since I am not well versed with the story line I do not know if he joins the gang but I would like to see him as a returning character. The character was brought to life with a surprising amount of menace and silliness that somehow works. All in all, the slightly realistic feel of the Live action seems to have done wonders for my appreciation for one of the legendary anime I have all these years left untouched, however as Netflix tends to cancel good shows I will pray to the heavens that they realize they have a very serious contender in the OPLA to keep viewers around for a long long time, I will be one to stick around as well.

    The Bad

    Very little here is what I would call bad, a few nitpicks here and there, one stand out of 'could be done better' was Luffy's Gum Gum powers, they keep going into the uncanny valley at times. But it seems to work with the not taking things seriously vibe that the show generally caries, still, a little more in the effects department, maybe a blend of practical and cgi will work wonders.

    Conclusion
    I can happy call myself a One Piece fan finally after more than a decade of being an Anime fan, the story of One Piece is finally begin for me and I will try and not spoil myself either through manga or the anime so I can experience this through the Live Action medium which is a shock to me considering the failures of LA anime's we have been served in the past.
    The curse is hopefully finally broken.    … Expand
