    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. Surprisingly enough, Netflix has done a good job here. In choosing to lean into some of the absurdities of One PieceGreat adaptation.

Surprisingly enough, Netflix has done a good job here. In choosing to lean into some of the absurdities of One Piece this show has managed to pull off what I considered to be impossible. The characters remain true to the heart of the original while being accessible to new viewers. As a longtime fan of One Piece I definitely recommend it to fans and newcomers alike.… Expand

    As a long time one piece fan. I approve. Can't wait for season 2. Some things I wish they added some I'm glad they left out.

    I had low expectations because it's a live action series, but this one really surprised me with how well it told the story of One Piece. The actors are phenomenal. The lead actors were very convincing in their personalities and were true to their characters. The actors of Zoro, Sanji, Mihawk and Buggy really managed to bring their characters to life.

The actors of Zoro, Sanji, Mihawk and Buggy really managed to bring their characters to life. Even Helmeppo was a likeable character and grew towards the end of the season. 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's ok for me. But I'm a fan. I just watch for the spectical and lore. I like that they tried. I wonder how new viewers not familiar would see it.

    As a livelong fan of One Piece (20 years) I couldn't have hoped for a better adaption.
    The love and care that was put into this show and its beloved characters is present in every episode.
    An absolute joy to watch!

    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.

    It was okay. Not a bad adaptation but not a great one. Been watch and reading one piece for about 20 years and it hits a lot of places where it will make you happy but misses a few important plot points that makes one piece one piece. However the cast was good, glad Oda chose them and the CGI was amazing and definitely one of the best parts. Love that Bogard got more than one line in thisIt was okay.

Didn’t like how gold Roger looked but that’s okay. Guy who played Coby is a perfect coby. Anyways, definitely worth a watch and hopefully it gets better as more seasons come.… Expand

    Quite a charming adaptation of a classic manga. The cast fit the characters well while giving them more life-like qualities, especially the Straw Hat Pirates. Reminds me of Pirates of the Carrabeans mixed with the One Piece anime.

    Really liked it. I thought all the actors hit the heart of the characters they are playing. Makes sense to condense the crew getting together. You can leave arcs like allibaster to be a whole season.

    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.

    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.
