'ONE PIECE' Auditions and How the Cast Landed Their Roles

I'm so glad Emily got Nami. Not only does she look like her and play her well but she's also a huge one piece nerd! She's living the dream 💖🙌

Every time Luffy's name was mispronounced i cried inside and my soul left me piece by piece..

It's a perfect adaptation BUT the biggest problem for Netflix One Piece is also how perfect it is. They need to make several seasons to not make this perfect casting goes to waste. This is a very rare occasion <3

Being casted to a role you auditioned because the very creator of the manga itself thinks you are just like the person that he drew must be one of the highest honors an actor can get.

the way you say luffy kinda bothers me :( it’s pronounced loo-fee

I just really like how they casted roles based on their personalities, more than only their acting skills. when I see clips of the cast, they're still the exact same people as when they are on the set and I can just imagine their characters doing the same things. to my opinion, they don't just play the Straw Hat crew, they ARE the Straw Hat crew.

Not only that, but I feel like the supporting cast was near perfect as well. Aiden Scott as Helmeppo does a fantastic job at making you want to punch him xD. Jeff Ward as Buggy is just incredible and steals the show whenever he's on screen. Steven Ward is badass as Mihawk. And Craig Fairbrass looks exactly like a real life Zeff.

1. Emily didn't cut her hair short and dyed her hair in the audition tape. There's a video where the cast watches their audition tapes. 2. It's pronounced loofy not laffy. 3. The picture shown as Eiichiro Oda is Eiji Aonuma, the director of Zelda games.

Taz being trained by Jamie Oliver made me burst into laughter... Maybe I've watched too much Uncler Roger vids 😄

Anyone who says Zoro didn't have his third sword in his mouth "enough" needs to realize that for every few seconds we see him with it, the actor has been doing it for hours. How long can you hold a sword in your teeth while running around doing stunt choreography?

Taz as Sanji is very dedicated, he was sitting next to Keanu, Christian Bale and Aamir Khan and many more, what a top tier actor🔥

this casting was absolutely PHENOMENAL.. when i say they lucked out with this, i mean it. the chemistry between these actors is just like the strawhats, and the individual actors share many major qualities with the characters theyre playing. all of these actors are very dedicated to their roles and it shows. i truly love these actors from the bottom of my heart and im SO glad the live action was a success. i really hope there will be a season 2, but even if there isnt, im more than happy with this. i cant even put into words how in love i am with the live action. this really did break the live action anime adaptation curse❤

I think the casting is the best thing they did in the series. Even secondary characters like Coby and Helmeppo were nailed!

Disney should learn from this casting 👀

Let us not forget all of the other amazing cast members. Especially many of the other characters like Buggy and Koby. Great cast choice and excellent acting. I had such low expectations going into this show only to be blown away at the care they took. It has some minor flaws but I really truly felt this was a worthy adaptation. Especially after trying to stomach other animes gone live action.

I was initially skeptical of Emily but she 100% won me over. Did a fantastic job! Very cool to hear Taz had to do cooking training. can really see the passion from all the actors!

There was just one thing that was incorrect in this video. Inaki's first audition tape's setting was the burning boat in the background as he sat on the little boat with Cody. He took that as a serious situation so his first audition tape was actually "too serious" and the creator of the anime said in response to the tape that Luffy was actually unfazed by the scene behind him and was supposed to be less serious. So he had Inaki do it again but more laid back and carefree this time. ^.^ hope this helps!

taz had the best acting of the crew in my opinion. he portrayed sanji perfectly.

I have so much respect for these actors/actress. Training for months and years to play the role they love is impressive. Their passion really comes through. Really liked the original anime and normally don’t care for live action remakes. However, they nailed it. Loved season 1 and looking forward to season 2.

one of the best things in the show is the cast. The chemistry is perfect and each is very charming in their own ways, just as the Strawhats.
