    Very good casting, Luffy shoes and others arehard to fill. Good adaptation for the story with a good pacing. Same fdor the art direction. A live action which respect the original source material and keep the tone endorsing the requirement that live action need.

    Netflix's live action version of "One Piece" was... Decent! Which is a triumph in the world of live action anime adaptations. When I first saw the early screenshots and teasers for this project I'll admit, I did clown on it a bit and I was skeptical, "One Piece" being more over the top and absurdist than "Cowboy Bebop," and THAT live action adaptation completely flopping… I’ve neverNetflix's live action version of "One Piece" was... Decent! Which is a triumph in the world of live action anime adaptations. When I first saw the early screenshots and teasers for this project I'll admit, I did clown on it a bit and I was skeptical, "One Piece" being more over the top and absurdist than "Cowboy Bebop," and THAT live action adaptation completely flopping… I’ve never been happier to be wrong. My cynicism was completely dashed, and my expectations were absolutely blown away!

    In this version of "One Piece," we go through a more streamlined version of the story, speed running through most of the East Blue Saga, with all the most important elements of each arc carefully executed with slight nods to some of the more "disposable" portions of the arcs. Some liberties were taken with certain characters and fight scenes but everything important was front ‘n’ center and was well executed.

    I have way too much to say about this series, so I think I'll just condense a few of my likes and dislikes into a list:

    Things I liked:

    - All of the sets are beautiful, namely the Baratie.

    - The Wanted Posters: Every time a new Pirate character is introduced to the story, their wanted poster appears in front of them, and they destroy it, breaking the fourth wall a bit. It was a neat touch.

    - Buggy's character: My GOD this guy (Jeff Ward) knocked it outa the park! He was funny and intimidating. I think I liked him better than the original Buggy.

    - Dracule Mihawk's character: Another stand out. His actor (Steven John Ward) portrays the character perfectly!

    Things I dislike:

    - Luffy's Devil Fruit powers looked bad more often than not. Though, human stretching powers have a reputation for looking bad in live action.

    - Shanks' character: His actor (Peter Gadiot) just kinda fell flat for me. No where near as charming as the Anime version

    - Arlong's overall design: Dude was way too small, he's supposed to be a behemoth and he was barely taller than Luffy.

    - The near bastardization of Garp's character: Not only reducing “The Hero of the Marines” to a mere Saturday morning cartoon villain but going way overboard (pun intended) with his involvement in this saga.

    Live action "One Piece" is great for long time fans and folks who have never seen the series before. 7/10, EASILY one of the best live action anime adaptations of an Anime.

    Not a fan of the original anime, but this series just works: absurd comedy and drama about pirates and agents fighting for one last treasure. The action is memorable, the characters are funky, and they don't try to reinvent them.

    What we wanted for a live action adaptation? cool fights? nuclear explossions? There is only one right answer. We want characters. We wanted Luffy, Zoro and Nami, and who knows maybe we even wanted Axe hand Morgan and Helmeppo. The live action adaptation allows the actors give the characters deep and emotions anime still cant just cut yet. For example when nami told Luffy she hatesWhat we wanted for a live action adaptation? cool fights? nuclear explossions? There is only one right answer. We want characters.

The live action adaptation allows the actors give the characters deep and emotions anime still cant just cut yet. For example when nami told Luffy she hates pirates, on just a second gives so much info on the character than anime nami could on the whole orange town arch (and one piece its a great anime for sure). And this goes to the fights too. (Btw love see more of nami fighting. On later arcs she became quite powerful by her own right so is cool on this reimagination to see more from her on the beggining). From Luffy like just playing and toying with his oponents to zoro, always serious but like his oponents not worthy of him while nami giving her absolute best. Its amazing how the fights are not only fan service but also character work that push the story forward.
    One piece again becomes the standard now for what you have to do to make a cool live adaptation of already cool anime.

    they maintened the essense of the anime, some adapdations i didn't like at the first, but when the history was flowing, they made sense. Ican't wait for the 2nd season. i watch one piece since 2008, open your mind, tv show with real actors is not like anime. Thank you Oda sensei for supervisoned all of it, and for the great job

    Watched it with my wife (not an anime fan) and two kids (anime fans) last night. We all enjoyed it and thought it was a lot of fun. Unlike Cowboy Bebop, thought this one was well cast, which makes a huge difference. Definitely want to see it continue.

    La mejor adaptación de cualquier anime que se ha realizado hasta el momento. Los personajes muy logrados. El CGI brutal. No se puede esperar nada mejor cuando es el propio creador el que lo supervisa.

    1000% Recomendada si eres fan de One Piece o no.

    At best, you might find yourself really engaged in One Piece. At worst, it’s still something fun to have on in the background.

    Swashbuckling, guys: It never fails to bring a smile to our faces. So grab a bowl of cereal, then, and build yourself a sofa fort, because One Piece has your weekend plans sorted.

    One Piece defies the odds by being faithful to its source while also standing on its own.
