An Honest Review of Netflix One Piece

Was that raz psychonauts

Watching this after Season 2:

I would say like Zoro’s casting,
Taz to is too hot, YET he’s actually a caring cook, not just a creep (in the mango they call him a perv all the time for attempts to transact his culinary art for an adult one). I feel like this is best shown with the chemistry between Taz and Emily (esp towards the end of the season). The cook’s actually a mama’s boy and Nami sees through it so if/when Sanji pervs in the live action Nami and subsequently the crew’s vibe is ‘benefit of doubt’.

I second your take on this particular party’s personal perspectives on their characters in ways enriching the source or source adjacent material. For example, S2’s Smoker is a gahdam anti-heel, war hero/criminal Cody Rhodes meets Homelander twin. Also, I’ve read complaints about Miss Wednesday, and like yeah whatever, didn’t Oda-sensei admit in an s.b.s that his character design for the Princess of Alabasta with her hair down was way too similar to Nami anyways?¿ The way Miss Chandran feels like she genuinely learns and earns her spot with the Straw Hats makes up for it. Plus, every other casting for Baroque Works — EEEECHHHT TOOO00PPP.

They seem to be keeping up with anime-iconcisim for fight scenes => Little Garden, anything BW because the production design is camp af. Chopper’s character design kind of had me all over the place emotionally, spiritually, metaphysically, etc,…however I think that’s the same intention as the character’s in the source material. Chopper’s backstory did in-fact make me cry as it did in the anime as it did when I read the manga for the first time.

P.S. not sure if my rods and cones are poles and pyramids, but I swear the colour grading was leagues more forgiving on smaller screen devices

wait zoro played okuyasu?

I don't hate how they did Chop, but god i would've given my one piece collection for a muppet

I see that I’m the odd man out here, but I just have to say that for me the show is unwatchable level terrible.

I’ve been a die hard fan of one piece for decades, have an entire book shelf dedicated to it, watched the anime multiple times over. The live action for some reason is just nails on a chalkboard for me, and my wife and kids who are also big fans agree. The acting is really strange, the characters all seem too old? The pacing and changing the story around drives us all nuts. I know I’ll get a ton of hate for it but I’m just being honest about it.

It seems from what I’ve seen that there are people who are just such huge fans that they’ll say the show is great just because it’s One Piece media, I’d be curious to know their opinions on other live action adaptations of anime. FWIW I also thought the Cowboy Beebop adaptation sucked as well.

23:50
31:48 agreed, anime hammers those points home
I didn't like this review as much as s2 because you're being way t99 harsh on it and pointing out things that aren't noticable to the average viewer

3:57 I didn't even know this was a live action. The nostalgia

The Speed Racer love is where its at

If Mihawk called out a finisher move vs Zoro, there'd be nothing left of him, the platform, or the Baratie.

I try and try and by drum island I just cant

i genuinely didn't think id care that hatchi wasnt in the season but i do😂 i missed him alot

36:25 zoro was always a reformed murder hobo, Oda even once was quoted “if Luffy Ordered Zoro to do it, he would kill all the other straw hats without hesitation.”

They did my weak trio justice T-T everything has come together in a truly inspired and loving take on one piece

I want those snails, and ships, so bad

Everyone wants to make love to the clown captain

The show is so lovingly and creatively hand crafted to both tell a heartfelt interpretation of the story while including everything in the written story up to now in a brilliantly subtle way that fans will be able to point out while new people can appreciate the loving and touchingly creative performances and visuals😭😭 I love it so much

The live action makes me cry so much, from our long Park till right now with live action luffy, laboon, chopper, Sanji, Nami, everyone, just bravo

Now that season 2 is out, about the "Next season, if the next warlord response to Luffy saying "I'm gonna kick your ass" is anything other than "I don't even know who you are" we're gonna have beef" at 44:14,
Insert Smocker VS Luffy "Eh. Small fries" and "you're worth 30 million berries?".
Not a warlord, but pretty much that. God I loved that scene.

My problem starts at “the show is really really good”
No it isn’t. It’s on the anime adaptation scale good but it’s not better than the Japanese adaptation that people dislike like Attack on Titans, Bleach or Full Metal Alchemist or the old Death Note adaptation.
It’s a below average show. On a scale it’s 6/10 if we add acting, casting into the mix.

How did the kid develop a Spanish accent?

my only real issue is they made everything happen indoors😂


also buggy looks a bit tumblr edgy snd im not sure i love it as much as most.

sooooo, d'you like it?

Whose here for season 2 ?

Hey guyver part one sucked but dark hero was good shit!

0:33 i´m currently rereading the manga from beginning, after a 5 year hiatus of not reading one piece, and I´m currently on volume 3. It is a peak manga and a lot of the stuff that makes the characters great you can see early on, as well as this spirit of rebellion, and damn it took only 3 volumes for me to try to convince a friend of mine to really try it (even though he hates the arts style)

Back in fall of 2023 decided to give this show a shot because no one would shut up about one piece and the live action's episode count was far less intimidating than the anime's. And a year later I was fully caught up with the OP anime and manga. 😅

I don't know if he's planning a review of Season 2, but if he is, can't wait to see it.

Unnecessary swearing

WiFu isn’t a word.

Season 2! Comes out today!

…you all know why you’re here.

To see wano being mentioned 4 YEARS ago as a "still on-going" part of the video is wild

Just me being excited for season two coming out in a week, so I’m rewatching season one stuff to hype up.

We really need to talk more about the soundtrack and leitmotifs of the OPLA. And I mean it, every singer character has some sort of motif, and it is amazing. Sorry for my lack of musical knowledge, but here’s a list of leitmotifs I noticed:

Luffy (Main Theme): adventure over the horizon
Zoro: East Asian flutes, discipline, zen
Nami: sneaky and upbeat, unless it goes all out and becomes gut wrenching
Usopp: laid back and unconventional
Sanji: suave jazz
Going Merry: tear-jerking, this ship is home
Buggy: psycho circus
Arlong: angry rap beats
Kuro: war cry of cats from hell
Marines: trumpets of justice
Gold Roger: old pirate story
Mihawk: Spanish strings, smooth dancer
Kaya: strings, innocent rich girl living in a mansion
Alvida: Baroque piano, medieval monster with style (like Dracula)
Don Krieg: heavy trumpet blares, footsteps of a war lord
Nezumi: rat running around the floor
Smoker: angry justice

Guess i give show another try. It lost me right at the beginning.
My problem was the writing of the character and some misunderstandings with them. A example can i find in the video: even if luffy would ask zoro wouldn suck, he would punch luffy in the ground and ask what is wrong with him. Zoro issnt just luffys loyal pet, he is luffys first mate (inofficial) and as such he desagre often with his captain or complain with him. Do i realy need to remember on water7? Or wisky peak? Or his fight against king when he fight for his goals and not luffys. Of cause he is loyal until death, but he isnt just a servant, he is more a partner in crime.
That is just one exampel. Another is that luffy isnt a hero. He doesnt help people out of kindness. Mostly he help people who were good to him, who he called a friend even if he dont know him as long and, that is important, who want to step up but cant. Luffy could easly beat up alvida but only finished her after corby step up for himself. He doesnt helped ussop against kuro because he knew his dad or something, but because ussop want to fight for his people but is to weak. Luffy isnt a hero. A hero must share his meat, but luffy want to eat it alone. And in my opinion luffy from opla is to much a hero.
If i would watch the entire serie i guess i would find more. Seeing character who i know since childhood are writen this way, dont know if i realy can do that 😅

Buggy's actor Jeff Ward just feasted so goddamn hard on that role

Also, the use of practical sets, effects, and snail puppets adds SO MUCH to the worldbuilding

The ships from Black Sails bring repurposed...perfect

Extremely well cast show too

Dad and I watched two episodes tonight

I hope they can make one of the future seasons a weekly episode release and not an entire season dump.

2 years late, don't care.
"If Luffy is the heart of the Straw Hats, then Nami is lone, overworked brain cell."
You made my day, thank you!

one piece is the third best adaptation. first will always be speed racer, second is ruruoni kenshin.

Buggy is so charismatic in this
