The INSANE Perfection of One Piece live action

What did YOU think of the live action One Piece?🏴‍☠ Were you as shocked as I was? Comment below!💥

The fact you, who know nothing about One Piece, and yet you totally understood the core themes of the series, is proof of how well made this live action is.

My mom just called me to recommend one piece live action to me without knowing it was based on anything at all— it really seems to hold up well to newcomers

Most of those polls and forums about Namis being unpopular are dead wrong because she's consistently ranked as one of the most popular straw hats

As someone who's been reading One Piece for 21 years, it's really cool to see someone new coming to our crew.

Your criticism about Garp’s motivations probably comes from the fact that the whole Marine subplot is almost completely original to the live action. In the anime, after Coby joins the marines, we basically don’t see any more of him in the East Blue saga aside from a 2 episode mini-arc about how he and Helmeppo started training under Garp, then they don’t get reintroduced into the story until after episode 300. Garp is also a lot more laid back in the anime. While he did still try to force Luffy to become a marine instead of a pirate, he never really cared about his duties as a vice-admiral unless something very important was happening

I’m amazed at just how much of the themes you’ve caught given how subtle they are in this part of the story. Mind you, this is only the prologue and everything good here is going to be heightened going forward. I hope you stick with it cause there’s a lot here I think you’ll love.

I really loved how they developed koby's character and showing the paradox of two friends who have completely opposite and colliding dreams(one a pirate the other a marine) yet they still choose to act with integrity with one another it was priceless

As a 40 year old grown man with no prior awareness of one piece, this is one of the most enjoyable and worthwhile things I’ve seen in a long long time.

I'm not surprised you feel like Garp's motivation is ambiguous because in the manga he isn't present like he is here. His first appearance is during Koby's cover story and isn't introduced fully until much later in the series. It's the biggest change from the manga and anime

The One Piece.. THE ONE PIECE IS REAL!

Haven't read or watched the original, but loved this version and now I'm urging to go read AND watch the originals. It was just too damn good

9:33 man the world building in this Live Action is extremely detailed.... the detail of the maps, everybody's clothes, the picture hanged in the background, the brand on things such as bottles and boxes, the article written on newspaper and the menu on baratie restaurant where you need to zoom in just to be able to read it.... everything is connected to the larger world. this made me 100% sure that people who made this Live Action is truly fans of One Piece

There's something special about someone who hasn't seen the anime or read the manga being able to write an entire 30 minute analysis on the themes of the series by just watching the live action-- and all of it being right on point! It just goes to show that the live action captured the messages of the original perfectly.

As a One Piece manga reader, I personally really loved this season. Yes, they removed minor characters and other moments, but they still kept that same emotional impact when those scenes needed them. As for FilmSpeak and other new comers, don't try to rush consuming One Piece. Use the backburner method: Finish other content that is shorter, but from time to time, consume One Piece until you want a break, then rinse and repeat. It's okay to not be caught up because One Piece is a story that is more about the adventures of the Straw Hats than the climax of each arc (even though I really enjoy most of the arcs). If you are interested in picking up where the live action season 1 ended: Anime: Episode 55ish (this is near the end of the East Blue Saga) Manga: I would say chapter 95/96 The live-action does take certain plot points and easter eggs that's introduced later in the manga/anime but instead introduces it this season (SPOILER EXAMPLE) Garp's relation to Luffy doesn't happen until the next few arcs, and Koby's Marine subplot is more off-screen where as in the live-action, we actually see Koby's growth in real-time (END SPOILER EXAMPLE). I don't want to make this comment any longer, but I'm just glad they did (in my opinion) the most faithful adaptation possible for live-action medium.

I've personally caught up with the original manga for a while now, and seeing the beginning of the journey again in live-action is... nostalgic... I don't wanna spoil what is happening in the manga right now, but seeing where Luffy is right now in the story, and then seeing him again at the start of his journey really puts me through some feels.

There was a lot of accuracy and the casting was really good. What I think took this to the next level was the fact that everyone that participated in this showed their love for the source material and their respect towards Oda.

I think the challenge with any live action adaptation is two fold: honoring the spirit of the source material, while also delivering something that makes sense to people who are unfamiliar with it in a new medium. Often, adaptations forsake one in favor of the other. Striking a good balance is tough to execute, and I must say One Piece LA did a pretty great job at that.

Something I felt about the one piece live action was two things in its execution 1. Makes people want to actually delve into the source material (me) 2. Make those that partake in the original source material appreciate and love the little details while also making them come to understand its about also transmitting the original story into a live action series It can't be exact. It has to be different and i loved it. I stopped halfway but because I decided to watch the anime, but I'll pick it up soon as I'm now on Arabasta arc atm

In the world wide popularity poll that Jump magazine ran to celebrate One Piece's 20th year of publication, Nami came in 3rd (Zoro 2nd, and Luffy 1st). For regional rankings, Nami came in 1st for North America. Nami is popular, is what I am saying. Also, Nami saves the crew like dozens of times by way of her being the most reasonable member of the crew until a certain lover of history joins. They would all be dead without her. But I guess the same could be said about all of the crew. Everyone gets moments where they save the crew from danger. Yes, even Usopp.
