Each arc in OP is a play on a different genre, Buggy's and Kuro's arcs are examples of how One Piece generally is. So rather than Kuro/Usopp arc standing out, it actually really fits in, so get ready for more pacing rollercoasters in Season 2 and so on.

yes, and the fact that Kuro dont really kill everyone when he's able, is just like real Cat where they dont really kill their prey asap, instead toying with them (and possibly fail at it later) is also the hidden theme people might miss. Some changes are noticeable for manga fans, but clearly these changes have gone some serious thoughts process.

love the fact that you, who hasn't seen the source material, could pick up on the manga's running gag about zoro and his sense of direction.

I agree about Usopp hesitating before declaring his dream. It’s relatable for people who are not sure about their dreams. Usopp is the representation of those who need more courage and dedication but still try their best to keep up with others who already know their goals and started their journey.

@@donabiswas6266 Rizz is a slang term for skill in charming or seducing a potential romantic partner, especially through verbal communication. It is most commonly applied in the context of men pursuing women, but not always. It is typically used in the exact same way as the older slang term game.

Because I've watched the anime and read the manga, I feel like I was able to appreciate it even more because of that fact. Sure they took out a few things and changed others that I really wanted to see, but with their 8 episode limit and their limited budget, I feel like they struck a near perfect balance for staying close to the source material and changing what they needed. Very proud of the team. You can really tell the creator was behind this show

The live action Kuro arc seems to be very divisive. Either people hate it or love it. Personally, I loved it. I love the set and I think the actor for Kuro did a magnificent job. I like the air of mystery and suspense in the building after they were locked in. The fight scene with Zoro was incredible, though Kuro's henchmen were pretty cheesy. With that being said, I absolutely loved the banter between the henchmen. Sure, the planning part was sort of Saturday morning cartoonish with tons of holes, but One Piece is literally a Saturday morning cartoon.

Just to let you know that the Zoro vs Mihawk anime fight you saw was actually from a recap episode for East Blue and was far more rushed than the live action hence the lack of emotion. I think the LA did amazing at the fight but for me the speech in the anime afterwards gave me chills. You must watch the original anime for that!

I’ve been a fan of one piece for 15 years and this adaptation is great. They hit all the high moments very well, not as good as the anime, but the story, the characters, the theme, the tone, and the layers are all there. My first impression was apprehension but after some getting used to it, I think it’s nearly perfect!

The fact that they need to make so many tranformations for Chopper is insane, they have their work cut out for them

The chemistry of the straw hats in general has always been the thing that made one piece such a great Manga and anime I’m glad that was translated to live action

As a long time fan of one piece I loved the LA. They condensed things well and explained the world for newbies better in 8 episodes then some other tv it was such good writing really a show made by fans for fans and especially for new viewers to get into the world!!!

They wrote the character lines as a balance for Subtle and upfront, just like in the manga. As early East Blue saga was all about it.

you are so on the money about opla giving you that feeling of just being able to get into a show the way you did as a kid and a large part of that being that the cast is so likeable and has so much extra content. Def have a crush on every single one of them 😁I haven't felt this alive since I was 15, fangirling over harry potter.

Even as a manga readers we don't know much about shanks yet😂😂😂😂

I loved the live action so much. They did such a good job bringing the wacky world of One Piece into live action. They also did really good tweaking the story in a way thay works with their time limit while keeping true to the major story beats. The Live action sparked my love for an anime i havent watched since middle school and got me to start it up again. It feels like something that can stand on its own but also serves as a good introduction to the story. Its fun to watch, fun to explore the characters, but also lets you know that theres so much more to the world that you wont know about unless you really dive in.

Another great video Johnny! I haven't seen the live action One Piece yet, but after watching your video I feel much more motivated to do so! I only watched the 4Kids dub early on, so I never really got into One Piece. This show could help attract a more casual fanbase to experience One Piece for the first time, who otherwise wouldn't have. Especially because there are so many episodes of the anime, this live action can serve as a new entry point to beginners. Captain Kuro is my favorite; I find a deadly pirate who faked his own execution and who is now plotting to kill a rich girl in secret, under the pretext of being her butler so intriguing. I'm really happy you included snippets of him in your video, it was actually the first time I saw him in the live action and now I'm more excited to watch the show AFTER your video as opposed to beforehand. Keep up the fantastic work, Capt'n!

You're the love child between Diego Luna and Leif Garrett. I share your love for One Piece, great video!

1:02 I haven't heard anyone complaining and saying "That's not the same" , or "that's not really what happened". One Piece fans are not idiots. They know the live action was just 8 episodes so obviously it's impossible to expect it to be a one on one copy of the manga or anime.

I agree on the weird camera lens shots but I love the goofy costumes and how serious they are despite wearing them. The One Piece world is wacky like that.

Those KZread vids of the cast doing things are so engaging

Sanji is also my favorite character in OP. His value all rooted because of his two backstories which are both heartfelt. Tas put his hear and soul to be Sanji. 💯💙

I wish they kept the original scenes with Sanji and Nanmi leaving their "home". How Zeff and everyone at the restaurant picked on Sanji after the fight so the he would really storm out the door, and with Sanji knowing their intention and crying as he board Luffy's ship, thanking everyone for everything. And how Nanmi steals everyone's purse as she runs through the crowd, showing her sister and everyone at the village that they don't have to worry about her and she can handle herself. Every member of the straw hat pirate had a touching scene when they joined up (well...maybe except Zoro), they should have kept that.

Yeah I can see that now! Watched a couple episodes of the anime (I won’t go too into here cuz I did a vid on it) and totally agree with you. Some parts are so different it really doesn’t matter lol

As a long time fan of One Piece, I personally like the live action adaptation. I like that they aren't 100% true to how the story is told on the manga/anime. Not everything works in a live adaptation and they managed to bring forth the essence and spirit of One Piece. I think that having Eiichiro Oda part of the production and casting process, is what makes it work so much better. It's hard to make something so silly, wacky and crazy as One Piece look real and great, but they did much better than I thought they would. Even though the live action characters aren't exactly like they are in the manga/anime, they still have the core values and personality trait of the original characters. They made it work perfectly for a live adaptation. My bf tried to watch One Piece anime, but it neve managed to captivate him. We watched the live action together and he actually likes it. So, I think that the live action will be able to reach an audience that the manga and anime couldn't, as the style is so different, but the essence and spirit of One Piece are present. The changes they made was to make it work as a live action, without compromising the underlying story, essence and spirit of the original work. That's why I like the live action. Oh and the live action actually made me like Sanji, as I don't like manga/anime Sanji. 😆

I've only one more episode to go, and I'm loving the live action characters way more than the anime versions

Love Love your shirt😜

3:38 If you actually decide to pursue that, I think you would make a good Bartolomeo which wouldn't appear until much much later. Or Paulie from Galley-La. 🤣 I wonder if anyone else think the same.

"i lost sleep over this" i feel you so much bro 😂😂😂

The close-ups never really bugged me.. it felt very anime-ish to me. I loved the overall camerawork in the show. Now watching the anime after this show and it has insane close ups that linger lol like eyes or one eye closeups for too long but they make me laugh 😂 maybe it changes in later seasons, idk yet. Zoro and Sanji look really cool and I adore them and always thought they would be my favorite characters at first glance and I guess they still are, it's hard to really have a favorite tbh but I still gotta say.. my favorite is Luffy. Which is very shocking to me, knowing me.. haha even still as I watch the anime tho I'm only 20 episodes in. Idk what it is.. he's endearing. Especially Iñaki... which I'm seeing more and more how much he fits the role.

As a longtime manga and anime One Piece fan, I was thrilled with the adaptation. While events aren’t 1:1, they aren’t supposed to be. It’s called an adaptation for a reason. They successfully put their own spin on the story while still being very faithful to the source material’s themes, tone, messages, and character direction. They did a fantastic job with casting, acting, and set design. As strange as it is to say, the most important character in the world of One Piece is the world itself. One Piece is a world building show. It’s the best there is at world building, and the adaptation did the world of One Piece such Justice. I was so happy with the set design. It stole the show for me.

The Live Action was an abbreviated version of the East Blue saga (most of it ) so far. Now an abbreviated version well told of a great story is still a great story. And nobody is saying you are not allowed to enjoy just the live action But you did get a speedrun version of the story. And some corners they cut off make a lot of sense and others cut off more important parts. For example Usopp and Sanji are much more just side characters in the live action. And if I asked you why they should be Strawhats you would not have an answer because the live action didn't really show why they belong.

The live action wasnt perfect but they did a great job adapting one of the hardest stories imaginable to adapt into live action. You can tell people making it have true appreciation for the source material and that is vital into making a successful adaptation. Too often these days adaptations or remakes are made by those who don't care for or have out right disdain for the source material. Its hugely refreshing to have a series made by those who love One Piece as much as the fans.
