    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.

    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 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.    … Expand

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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 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.    … Expand

    This was my first contact with the franchise, so no comparison. The plot issues are distracting and the main character's backstories drag enough to make me loose patience with it. I stopped paying attention by episode 3 - it was playing on the background until the end. It has a fun and silly energy that made me smile though.

    The part where the show fails is in the character building and the impactful moments. While the anime brought me to tears in several moments, the live action is not able to reach that as you don't feel very connected to their stories. I hope they can improve on that if there is a second season.
    I also feel that they focused too much in tertiary characters like Coby and Buggy that are barely important in the main story.
    It is still a very good adaptation and I hope it is renewed, I just don't think it will capture the attention of anyone but the fans.    … Expand

    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

    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.

    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
