One Piece anime is TOTALLY BIG, it outsells Batman comic and still going strong. it's been running for around 26 years. The fandom really care about the author health because of it. If the LA sucks, i dont know what will happen, it's scary just to think about it.
The cat costumes made me cringe, but he fight and backstory made up for it. I cannot believe they left the hissing in there. They really do commit to the anime silliness. Respect.
Funny thing how the *"Grandpa"* thing was revealed 300+ chapters/episodes later 😂 and it hit even harder but LA did it really cool for 1st time viewers to keep watching!
I dont think the manga one hit harder because most of us didnt know shitt about garp it just felt random even if it was a great moment, and the LA you get all the cotext of him being the one the catch roger and order his execution so it established garp being a high rank marine and the ngiving him addition screentime makes the moment hit harder
@@gamingparadise3390 yup LA has more depth, but finding out Luffy's grandpa is a VA in Navy after seeing all the stuff that Luffy pulled (E. Lobby) for example, hits way harder for majority of ppl man ❤️
@@gamingparadise3390the live action one piece was a chance for oda to look back at the story he written for more than 20 years and have the maturity of being "maybe i would have made things s little different with the experience i have now" and he made those changes in the live action which are just welcomed and how many fans already said gave more depth and backstory before the garp grandpa reveal
Her death in the manga was also very sudden, meant to showcase how fragile life is and how you're one accident away from an unexpected and sudden death. The sensei is her father, making she was the heir of the dojo.
As an writer I tend to think that even if it's an accident I would show so there is an opportunity to make a callback latter to remember the audience how important it was for the character. I'm not criticizing, it's just fine to me not to show it. Just wanna hear people's opinions of if it is a good ideia to at least tell, even if is minor, or if it's better to focus on what's important.
Since you guys asked 😊 One Piece has officially claimed the title of the best-selling manga of all time, boasting over 500 million in sales, a record-breaking achievement. Eiichiro Oda's adventurous creation has captured the world's imagination, elevating its status to join exclusive and iconic ranks. This pirate saga has outpaced even popular American comic books, reaching this milestone in the ongoing manga series. Remarkably, it shares this distinction with only one other literary work in history: the Harry Potter book franchise. One Piece has achieved a remarkable milestone, with over 500,000,000 sales worldwide, placing it among the exclusive literary series in human history known to have crossed the half-billion copies mark! To clarify, the only other series to achieve this milestone is Harry Potter, which accomplished it in 2018. Notably, Superman and other superheroes are not considered in this count, as they involve different authors, encompass various series and stories, and primarily include magazine sales rather than volume sales. The beloved Japanese manga and anime series One Piece made its debut in 1997 and has since solidified its place as one of the all-time best-selling manga series, surpassing 500 million copies sold worldwide. These sales figures even surpass those of American comic book giants like Batman, a franchise with multiple creative teams throughout its 83-year history. It's astonishing that One Piece managed to overtake Batman in sales. While Superman comic books maintain the lead with approximately 600 million sales, it's important to note that most of One Piece's releases were featured in the *Weekly* Shonen Jump collection. If these *Weekly* Shonen Jump sales were included in One Piece's total, it would approach Superman's figures. One Piece's achievement, comparable to J.K. Rowling's, truly demonstrates the global influence of manga.
fun fact: the theme that plays when the merry sails for the first time is an orchestral version of the first opening of the anime. gave every single long-time fan chills when it played
I kind of love how Oak is stonefaced concentrated during the actual reaction, but in the review he's animated and absolutely sharp/great with his analysis.
In terms of the pressure this show had to be a good adaptation -- if you live in East Asia, words truly cannot describe the popularity of One Piece and the chokehold both the manga and anime have had on our pop culture for the past like 25 years. It's practically UNHEARD OF for an anime-to-live-action adaptation to be this widely accepted and enjoyed by both old fans and newbies alike
@@malcolmhodnett8874 It's probably regarded as that cause OP is mainstream and have big fans, if we want to talk about Anime LA that success, there's some of it, but cause the nature of it, it is not widely known globally. For example, Deathnote the 1st LA (Trilogy one by Japan), is actually considered good LA adaptation, then we have Kimi ni Todoke, Your Lie in April and Nodame Cantabile, which is still good adaptation but it's easy to overlook cause the nature of the story is kinda easy to adapted to LA. Then we have Rurouni Kenshin and Gintama that actually success in Japan Box Office, they are both a good adaptation that really following close to the original source, and understand what makes the original manga/anime good in the 1st place. One Piece is just that big globally, that when the LA success, it's considered breaking LA curse, even though there is several good anime to LA adaptation that already exist before.
yeah but I would argue that shows like Cowboy bebop has a very strong following by itself, and look what happened there. I say the major factor was the control they gave to Oda.
I’m sure someone mentioned it, but I love how tragically… “normal” Kuina’s death is. In a world with crazy strong individuals and strange powers, she died in such a mundane way. There’s no one for Zoro to fight, no way to get revenge other than to fulfill their promise by living his dream. That’s so cool.
It's NOT mundane though. See, in japanese, the term "fell down the stairs", doesnt actually neccesarily mean falling down the stairs. It's heavily implied, by saying she "fell down the stairs" that she actually killed herself. Though in the manga, while we dont know yet, there are strong strong hints that she may not be dead at all.
@@DarkTider Actually that's a popular fan theory and is not, in fact, true. There is no implication in this manner. I have friends who are Japanese, and I’ve also tried to investigate where this theory originated from, but there is 0 evidence that in Japanese culture falling down the stairs can imply s******. In the manga we see her body. Kuina being alive would ruin a lot of the weight of Zoro's dream. Also -- in One Piece, we usually only see the graves of characters who are actually dead, Pell being the exception because his would-be demise was published not too long after the 9/11 tragedy and with the unfortunately coincidental parallels Oda and his team though it would be better if Pell lived. All that to say that we've seen Kuina's grave in a chapter cover, and she can’t be Tashigi because we’ve also seen young Tashigi recently.
I agree that the anime did it better. It was funnier and more impactful because we had a better understanding of what Garp and the marine represented. But Garp is also much less present in the animated show, so I'd say, as part an overarching plot to the live action series, this ain't too bad. It's not even that big of a spoiler. It's just a shame it deprives new fans of the better reveal scene.
@@muhammadsaiful9500 yes, but it was only HALF reavealed. There's one more revelation that wasn't revealed so we might get it after water 7 (assuming the series go that far)...or earlier. Since the character got his scenes cut from season 1...
Fun fact for you guys, the map at the start of the credits fills with every place they go, so you can see the whole story as it unfolds and where everything is in relation
"I feel like this is just the beginning of this story" Understatement of the year, don't forget what the man said episode one, he's looking for a crew of ten members. With the unique island structure of series progression each act gets to be a wonderment of creativity, somehow managing colossal conclusions each time. They're not even on the Grand Line yet, and thats the very start to the journey of searching for the One Piece. The biggest part of whats been cut from the Syrup Island arc is how Kuro faked his death with Axe Hand Morgan, He had a hypnotist on his team and it's assumed that the axehand & Jaw are injuries from the meeting.
Cool. Now imagine if they saved that moment for after the crew has been with Luffy long enough to fully trust him before finding out his grandpa was a navy vice admiral. Moving it so early robs people of that. But hey. Gotta fill time I guess.
@@neomanrexOf all the reasons to object to the Garp reveal being moved up, that’s got to be one of the silliest. Literally the only reason the Garp reveal comes as late in the manga as it does is because Garp and Luffy never crossed paths before then. Even in the series, the only one who makes a big deal of Garp being Luffy’s grandfather is Nami, and the other Straw Hats are quick to point out how unimportant that fact is.
@@neomanrex okay why is a vice admiral in the east blue? honestly give me a valid reason as to why he was there in the cover story he's far to up the chain of command for just to pick up a traitor captain add on that its Garp the Fist the man who regularly fought (Spoilers) and it makes even less sense Garp having the role he does in the live action actually makes more sense than him being in the east blue for just a prisoner transfer
The decision to reveal Garp's connection to Luffy early on is honestly one of the best ones they could have made, in my opinion. I know a lot of people are torn about it but I think it was good to really get people invested.
Honestly its also just practical. There would be no way they could keep the secret for as long as the original when its an adaptation. People would get spoiled so you wouldn't be able to replicate the surprise of that original scene
@@SorchaSublimethis is a show that is an adaptation of one of the most selling series of all time that is over 20 years old. I don't really think they care about spoilers from the actual anime lol
13:30 THANK YOU. FINALLY, SOMEONE MENTIONS THE SCORE!! the music in the live action is INSANELY good, but ESPECIALLY in this episode. I adore that eerie wailing typa noise that plays for kuro, and my favorite bit is when kuro and luffy fight, it plays kuros theme and then an altered version of luffys music opposing it. its so good.
Zoro trains his strength every single day, it's first shown how crazy strong he is compared to everyone else when he easily picks up the safe in the first episode. In the anime/mange they show similar scenes to how strong he is including showing him train with abnormally heavy weights. So him lifting the shutters is supposed to be another example of that.
A lot of Kuro's behavior is that he was personifying a cat. Him breaking the mirrors, him playing with his food and not immediately killing every prey. It was kinda dope and hilarious to see. Even the villains are over the top.
@@deyvsonandrade1939 the entire episode was very high produced, imo 1,2 5 and 8 are the best produced episodes and probably cost a lot . 3,4 and 7 probably were not as costly but 7 from drama perspective was done pretty well an I also enjoy episode 6 and 3 4 waa a bit of a let down because the kuro vs luffy fight wasnt as great but it was okay
fun fact: Jamie lee Cutis is a one piece fan and the fandom has actually been begging for her to play Dr Kureha in season 2. Jamie was shocked when she heard how many people wanted it and is more than up for playing the part once this strike is over. I honestly can't wait to see it, she has the right attitude to bring the character to live. It makes me excited for the Drum island arc!
I REALLY hope she gets the part! Being a fan of the source material ensures she’d understand Doctorine. Bonus, she’s friends with Brina Palencia who voices Chopper.
@@tranatkikomi6873the show-runners said that they are writing the character for her and have been in contact with her and sending her message about it. They are gonna meet at the end of the actor strike
The One Piece manga and anime is truly epic in scale. The live action show hasn't even completed adapting the events of the prologue! The series truly begins once they enter the Grand Line. I'm so happy you're enjoying this section of the story, because things only get crazier, funnier, more devastating, with countless islands, each with their own unique cultures, flora, fauna, architecture, politics, socio-economic situations, philosophies.... This world has so much D E P T H. The live action is compressed and cuts out a lot and rearranges some parts of the plot in the interest of making a TV adaptation for modern audiences, but captures the spirit of the characters, this world, and the series.
it would be no less veted by Oda himself as no script, line or scene was approved unless he approved it. He was aware of this and re arranged it for it to be more condensed but indeed not loosing its heart. Everyone praising Netflix. But it was Oda who did not let Netflix destroy it. Netflix only gets credit for respecting it.
One Piece has been being the best selling manga(comic book) and best anime(animation) of all time and now it has the best adaptation(live action) too 👏 That tells a lot how incredible the story & the world of One Piece is, it keeps getting better and better each time that’s why there are millions of us loving this masterpiece for more than 20yrs now! It’s just the beginning for you guys checking out the live action but I promise the more you watch the more you want to see and digging deeper into this world & follow Luffy’s journey! It’s really the best adventure ever ❤
Best selling manga, yes. Best anime? Nope. Calm down and let's not exaggerate. It's one of the worst anime adaptations ever made. It has pacing and censorship issues, and mostly poor animation. Unless you make money doing it, there's very little to no reason to watch the anime over reading the manga. Hell, assuming the LA keep the same quality in the next seasons it will be actually better than the anime.
@@alfanscholz8663 You are the one need to calm down lol I only stated facts meanwhile your opinion doesn’t matter and can’t change the fact that the anime is the best and loved by countless people around the world, not to mention even the opening songs of it went viral everytime and make ppl tearing up hearing one in the live action
@@alfanscholz8663 I totally agree with you. Nothing is better than the book, the bible, the manga itself drawn by Goda. However, calling the anime adaptation one of the worst is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? Cause if you think about it, the anime of One piece released in 1999 when TVs are still square and boxy. Animation wasn't as advanced and intricate back then. Tho, I 100% agree on the pacing but it has the obvious reason which is not to catch up to the manga chapters. Gintama even explained that issue in one of their episodes. Not to mention, the use of repeating flashbacks to stretch a whole episode. Kinda curious tho if people would prefer the One piece anime having to have a lot of fillers or pacing issues. Again, not saying that it is the best anime adaptation. But it certainly has its charms and quirks. Plus, as time goes on and the further the episodes, the animation does get wild on key moments. Even tho, some people were disappointed about the animation on Luffy's peak powerup. 😂😂😂
Captain Kuro is not a devil fruit eater he just trained to be very fast and as someone who watches anime and read manga, the stuff you are going to find out going ahead will leave exactly how this episode left you- confused and excited for more.
Episode 3&4 is the slowest for most people but 5-8 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 buckle your seatbelts!! All of your questions will be answered by the end! It’s very true to the source! But yeah this episode is basically the whole series! It’s super light hearted and gets very dark in an instant. One Piece is the #1 selling manga of all time and #2 in comics of all time! It’s already beaten Spiderman & Batman in I believe 2016 and is really close to surpassing Superman!! Lastly, this really is the best story ever told! Peak Fiction!!! You will Never know where the story is going and how it will end, It’s really a true adventure that always have you on the edge of your seats!
Over the course of a month..hearing Luffy, Zoro, over and over..felt like a dream...almost everyone came to know of OnePiece, their Dads and Grandpas...and these Humble-esque-Macho Dudes..surreal
One thing I love about watching this reaction is because they look so far from an anime fan, even though they have mention of it so they're not anime-free and they're loving this shit like any of the stereotypical nerds are. Really shows the quality of the series and this live action to draw in so many different kinds of people and so fully, too.
Fun Fact: the score that plays at the end when they're sailing off on the ship is an instrumental (and slightly changed) version of the original opening theme song to One Piece, "We Are!". Also (ig this is technically a spoiler for the anime, but not really for the live action since they clearly cut it out), but in the anime Kuina dies by falling down a flight of stairs, I think it was meant to show how fragile life is despite how strong you can be. But they probably changed it to just "an accident" in this so it sounded a lil less goofy.
The thing about this show is, it's getting better in every episodes. I love how the storytelling in this LA. Besides that, the actors, the coreografy, the music, worldbuilding, all was done beautifully. I guess this is why this is in my eyes one of the best Live Adaptation i've ever watched. I enjoyed every episodes.
42:45 yes this is one of the big three anime. Currently there are 1077 episodes (including filler/recap episodes) and the maker of the manga, Eiichiro Oda, was directly involved in making sure things stayed as close to his story as possible. I heard he hand picked most of the cast to make sure they looked and acted as they should, so it's no surprise that the quality of this show infinitely out shines previous anime adaptations.
I was assuming they were Naruto and DBZ, but I guess Bleach would be another big one. though I believe it's just under the others as far as mainstream popularity as far as I know. @@Melanie-jy2nw
Is always funny to see people reacting to Luffy calling his grandpa out. Garp is Monkey D. Garp and he is Luffy's grandpa, loved the reaction, I'm a fan of you guys, just a quiet one lol
Finally, the secret is out! Garp, being Luffy's grandpa, is such a cool twist in the series, and it's been so hard not to mention it. I hope we get to see more of that fleshed out in the next episode! 😁
One Piece is amongst the biggest and most beloved animes. This show is very faithful to the story as well, some things changed for a more condensed story but ultimately the same story. You have now seen around the first 19 episodes of content from the Anime in these first 4 live action episodes. Love your reactions to this series so far :).
That cliffhanger just gets everyone and I'm living for your reaction to it. XD I'm thrilled y'all loved Syrup Village arc but now we're getting to my favorite arc and my absolute favorite crewmember and I cannot wait for your next reaction! One Piece hype is very real, and it's really fun to watch new fans get to know the characters and enjoy the backstories and the interplay within the crew.
Origin stories is something that anime does better than any other format. They give you 2-3 minutes at a time during an episode so that you stay invested in the main arc but also can't wait for the next bit of backstory. They brought that to the screen extremely well in One Piece. Really enjoying your reaction, can't wait for these each week!
No cause you're right. This is just the start of something big. And I mean BIIIIIG. It's an incredible show. You were wondering if this anime is the biggest out there, and I think it's safe to say that it _is_ one of the biggest. It's one of the longest-running anime with a very big fanbase worldwide. The anime is running over a thousand episodes now and the fanbase is still growing. The manga has sold over 500 million copies over the past 2 decades. And what's unbelievable about this show is the consistency - the way it just keeps getting better and better. Most long-running anime I've seen would gradually lose its color as it's obvious how the shows weren't supposed to be long but because of fame, they got dragged out. One Piece was _meant_ to be long. And it's reallyyy crazy how it still blows my mind after a thousand episodes. It's crazy how people don't get enough of it. Everything is vast. It's like a world of imagination writers are usually scared to write because the ideas seem to be too ridiculous, but not for Oda-sensei. He fearlessly brings those "ridiculous" ideas to life without disregarding human emotions. And it works! It might look like a bright show at first, but One Piece covers a lot of dark topics as well (like slavery and racism so far in the live action). It tells stories that get people invested in fictional characters. It talks about dreams and hope. It talks about the beauty of life. And that's why One Piece is one of the greatest anime of all time.
About the score for this, I love how the motif for the Black Cat Pirates has deep meowing throughout it. The sort of deep, growly meows that tell you the cats are about to strike with claws bared. (If you’ve ever known an aggressive cat, you know what sound I mean.)
As someone who watched up to ep 206 of the anime, I'd say the capture the spirit & vibe of the show very well with this live action, they also compress the story arcs very well while also adding additional material (there is a decent amount of live action exclusive Coby content as far as I know). It's really impressive all around.
love your reactions to one piece ( and all the others) , best thing after watching it first time for myself. got into this show as i was 6 years old, now im 24 and it has been constantly with me for 18 years now, im so happy they nailed the adaptation.
Yeah! Here to watch your reaction so fast! Glad you're loving the episodes so far and can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the season! As a huge One Piece fan, I think they did the story justice, and I love seeing new people enjoy the world and characters. There's so much more to explore!
Yes this is one of the biggest mangas/animes ever. The world building and story telling is grand. And yes even with this full season you guys are just scatching the surface!
I wouldn't mind if they cut Foxy ... I mean, seriously, I thought that he was a filler character for way too long xD Seriously, G-8 and the Davy Back Fight (one after the other) ... I thought G-8 wasn't filler, but the Davy Back Fight was xD
@@BestAnimeFreak sure. And like game of thrones we can just leave cold hands and most of brans story out! It will totally work itself out. As someone who has written stories... If you don't have the proper foundation you can't build very high.
One Piece is the GOAT. There’s a reason it’s been going for so long and is still popular. Everyone I’ve met who’s seen it absolutely loves it. Except that one weirdo on the internet that was hating on it for no reason besides “it’s long”. This show, both live action and animated are absolutely amazing. So much fun and when they decide to hit you in the feels, they don’t hold back.
First of all, a little fandom speculation about Kuina (the girl from Zoro's flashback): in the manga, it is said she fell down the stairs and died. But "falling down the stairs" used to be an excuse in Japan to avoid saying it was actually suicide. Or maybe it's just the fandom searching too hard for an explanation to why she died offscreen. Anyways I think the live action captures the essence of the manga/anime very well. They do change around a lot of stuff, and they cut out a ton of background characters, that don't really matter to the narrative. But they have been keeping the characters vibes and the main checkpoints of the story. There's a couple things I like better in the LA: - a lot of extra scenes for Buggy, and also Kobby - and the whole "Grandpa!?" thing happens way earlier, which makes more sense There's a couple changes that annoy me: - Yasopp (Usopp's dad) was encouraged by his wife to pursue his adventures as a pirate and he left before she got sick, and so Usopp always kinda had that wish to go out to sea too. The LA makes it sound like Yasopp abandoned his sick wife and his son, and Usopp was a bit pressured to become a pirate, instead of getting ready to leave on his own initiative. - the way they changed Garp considering his attitude towards Luffy feels completely off.
This arc suffered the most changes, in my opinion. They removed pretty much all of Ussop's story and all of his moments of showing his bravery. They got rid of the village actually liking him, and pretty much using him running through as an alarm clock. Him jumping in front of Kuro to protect Kaya. Pretty much any moment that showed why luffy wanted him on the crew.
@@chadwood4412 They made some weird changes without really reducing the size of it. Even in the manga, Syrup Village is my least favorite in the East Blue, and the live action does not improve the pacing at all, but still cuts Usopp's good moments, and puts Zoro's flashback in a random spot instead of in the same episode as Mihawk, which would make it much better. I don't care that much about the moments, because Luffy still is a good judge of character and has a heart to heart with Usopp. Same with the Zoro flashback, it's weirdly placed, but it still defines his character correctly. But the thing about Usopp not taking initiative to go out to sea changes his character a bit and I don’t like it. It also makes Shanks' crew look a bit worse for having a deadbeat dad/husband in it.
@Ana-cr8yd these episodes are where it started changing more and more from the original and having situations that don't really make sense. Luffy not wanting to steal the boat contradicts a big part of his idea of what a pirate is, just to make him seem friendly and lovable I guess? Zoro could lift an entire safe and survive falling in a well on his head, but a bottle knocks him out? Luffy questioning his decision to let zoro fight, worrying over his bedside, and things like that just slowly built up until I decided it wasn't for me. It's a great adaptation compared to others, but I think people were expecting such trash, something mediocre made them jump for joy. They got so much right, from sets to costume, but the changes to the story made the emotions just not hit even close to the same.
@Ana-cr8yd also this made Kuro's plan make even less sense than the original because, at least then, he was gonna blame his crew after they raided the village.
@@chadwood4412 I agree on the part about the bottle knocking out Zoro. It felt like they needed to put him in that well somehow to have the weirdly placed flashback. And Kuro doesn't come off as a guy with a good plan in the LA. But I didn't care that much for Kuro in the manga, still, they could've still made his plan make sense, even without his crew on the equation. As for not stealing the boat, I thought it was pretty neat. In the manga they go ask for a boat too, and Luffy wouldn't steal from Kaya because Usopp likes her. Besides, like this, they start building up Merry as a legit crewmate from the beginning in a way that is in the audience's face, since in the manga it only gets really apparent in the Skypea saga. Also, they don't attempt to steal their second ship either, Luffy likes the shipwrights from Water 7. Although they are pirates, the ships are always made to "join them" like a crewmate. I'll only say that the only dumb thing was Luffy's interaction with Nami discussing it, because they bet on nothing lol. As for the Zoro thing, Luffy does worry about him in the manga too, with all the screaming when he gets cut down. And the dialog before the fight is just to make it apparent why Luffy doesn't stop him. They just made it more apparent in the LA, so people would understand why Zoro becomes so loyal to Luffy without having to read between the lines. It'd be a risk if they read Luffy wrong, because he'd come off as an uncaring jerk. So I don't mind it, their characters come off as what they should be, everything considered. My only issue with it is that Sanji was not present for any of the Mihawk fight and the dream conversation. Those two idiots getting bloodied up for their dreams is what sells Sanji on the Straw Hats ideals. Especially the Mihawk thing, since Zoro gets massacred.
I was laughing my ass off at your guys' resction to Grandpa, oh my gosh! 😂 That was the best!! I was also SO HAPPY when Oda (the author of One Piece) allowed Usopp and Kaya to kiss!! (Oda is infamous for not wanting kissing in his anime) Also they did SO WELL for bringing Captain Kuro to life, he's so frikin creepy!
Thanks for your reaction. Congrats you reached a big unexpected reveal that Garp is Luffy's grandpa. Monkey D Luffy Monkey D Garp Garp debut some 300 episodes later in the anime. So its super surprising to fans that Garp will be revealed as Luffy's grandpa so soon in the live action.
Being an anime nerd obsessing over One Piece for 11 years now. I can’t tell you how vindicating it feels to know you guys enjoy it. For so long I’ve been trying to get people into this amazing story. I’m so grateful to Netflix for bringing this story to the people.
Glad to see new fans getting to know the franchise and enjoying it. Not gonna lie I was terrified when I heard Netflix is making a live action show of my favorite Manga/ Anime, especially with their crap record, but they pulled it off and thanks to them I get to watch more people enjoy that show. Looking forward to your reaction to the last 4 episodes of season 1. Also to answer your question at the end. One Piece is the most sold manga ever, and is only second to Superman is comic sales. Projected to surpass superman if it keeps running at same pace. That being said, the story is getting to it's final chapters so it might stay at #2 if no spinoffs are drawn.
"the story is getting to it's final chapters" I remember when that was said when I was still in school ... more than 10 years ago ... xD But I guess Oda isn't getting younger either ... so ... maybe in the next 15 years xD
@BestAnimeFreak I'm not Oda but based on the news and updates we are really getting close to the end. I get that it could last 5 years more or less, but idk if that is enough to take first place and keep it. Hard to say.
I really love the way Luffy stops Coby from coming after him, despite their friendship. In the anime it’s arguably better - after initially rescuing zoro, the marines arrive and assume that Luffy, Nami, Zoro and Coby are one pirate group, and so Luffy knocks out Coby before escaping to make it look like they’re actually enemies, thus allowing the marines to let Coby join them
I am enjoying your reactions a lot and this adaptation is perfect I am in love with the live action as much as I love the ANIME can't wait for season 2, I can’t wait to see your reactions to the last four episodes they are even better when I first watched it I got so emotional in every episode because of the story, casting, acting and fights scenes ❤ ❤ ❤.
Something worth noting, when talking about the anime - which is regarded highly to this day - is that it's still releasing new episodes. The first episode came out Oct. 20th in 1999, and as of now, there are 1077 episodes, and it is still going strong. In the anime, beating Kuro was ep17, so hopefully, that gives a bit of perspective of how huge of an adventure is still left to go. If you watched the anime on your channel, you'd have content long past retirement. 😁
Yea, one piece is one of the biggest anime’s. Garp being Luffy’s grandfather is something we only learnt after quite a few more arcs in the anime. Somewhere around episode 300 and something. That’s also about the time where we find out Koby and Helmeppo we’re stationed together as marines under Garp. So that was major spoilers for anyone who hadn’t seen up to that episode in the anime. The fight with Kuro was a lot longer, and his whole pirate crew showed up and a lot of the hijinks happened. Kuro also, gravely damaged his crew in the fight as a last ditch effort to win. But just wait, it keeps getting better!
They've done a great job so far. They basically condense like 45 episodes into this season and some stuff they brought in early from much later seasons. There are still like 20 episodes (of anime) left of the East Blue stuff that they will do in season 2.
The live action was actually based heavily on the manga (Japanese comic book) not the anime. Most of the scenes, the character designs and sets can be seen in the manga volumes itself. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the manga, actually was very against a live action because he did not think they could do the world justice but he gave Netflix the green light since technology has advanced significantly since he first released his story in 1997. He was also heavily involved in the production of the show and all changes had to go through him, which is probably why it’s being received so well by fans. The anime was a 1:1 adaptation of the manga and it doesn’t really have good pacing although the animation quality has certainly improved in the recent arcs. It has over a 1000 episodes and the manga has reached over a 100 volumes now so if Netflix does it right, this could be a longstanding series for them.
the music which is playing when they got their ship is the original opening to the anime. its called "we are" and the accident was just: she fell down the stairs and died. thats it. nothing more to it
Oh they cut out the part where Kuina is talking about the struggles a woman who wants to be a warrior has and how the odds are stacked against her by nature. That's what gave the scene / their promise to be the best swordsman in the world so much weight imo. "You're my goal" is such a hard line. Also the fact she died, so Zoro has to keep that promise, but idk it kind of falls flat without the full scene.
In the original story kuina “fell down the stairs” and died, it’s a known things that in Japanese culture falling down stairs is an idiom for suicide, however it was never confirmed some fans assume that kuina did in fact take her own life because she thought she wouldn’t be able to fulfill her dream because she was a woman
I believe it's suppose to put emphasis to the fragility in life, and without spoiling things the anime showed how falling down the stairs could be dangerous for such a swordsman at some point.
@@tomspoli I've read somewhere that it was just an accident. She was rushing down some wet stairs for a sharpening stone to get ready to train with Zoro It shows that your dreams can end through no fault of your own.
This is one of the most spread fake facts when it comes to one piece, there is no such thing as a saying or idiom of falling down the stairs meaning suicide in Japanese. She fell down the stairs in a literal sense
23:47 I like to believe that, even though they didn't manage to fully open the mansion, they did unlock the mechanism. That is why Zorro could just lift it up.
The accident Kuina died from is stated as "fell down the stairs" in manga which is still ridiculed and hated by fandom. The reason it was not mentioned here is either they recognize it too or Oda actually been deceiving all and have a different story in mind. The stairs thing is still a meme in OP community
Ridiculed? Sure. But “hated” is a bit strong. People die in freak accidents all the time, and knowing how to fight with swords doesn’t make the human body any less fragile. She wasn’t shot, poisoned, boiled alive, blasted to pieces by the Marines, or even devoured in a croquembouche-related mishap. Doesn’t make her death any less heartbreaking for Zoro because she fell down the stairs.
@@kinggoldark3853 now worried about symantics? Calling it disliked will make the plot better? Also looking for realistic approach where birdman doesn't die from nuke or MC doesn't die will hole in chest or u ride ship to sky?? It maybe fine with u but don't try to cover up a lazy/bad choice of plot in such vital backstory. Ur personal choice is ur personal choice but majority still "hate" that part for their beloved Zoro's backstory and make fun of it instead as a way to vent frustration Neither use of a diplomatic word choice or some lame excuse can ever cover up such things. If it was so perfect, why wasn't it mentioned here then? Guess the show runners and Oda aren't as realistically empowered in their vision as u 🙄
So just a small fun fact… the song that they play when they sail off on the Going Merry for the first time is an orchestral version of the original opener for the anime. It’s super nostalgic to hear it, and it fits so well with the feel for adventure as We Are finally a crew.
For insight: Manga wise it's been #1 for 20ish/25 years its been around and the anime has been up there since the beginning as well! Big reason why it's underrated to the US is it being around for SO long and was hard to localize (4kids tried) until recently. Been watching anime since the 90s and One Piece is a gem like no other. The worldbuilding, character development, symbolism, and creativity is breathtaking. Oda (One Piece) creator is hands on with everything as well which is what makes this franchise drastically more fun than other anime/manga.
Each week, we have multiple items scheduled for release, and we're dedicated to keeping those commitments. We can't interrupt those schedules just to expedite the release of One Piece content on TH-cam. We hope you can appreciate the way our process works.
Watching you guys react and have fun watching this show has been a blast! As a long-time One Piece fan, I think they've done an amazing job with this show. I have some minor gripes, but they're just that: minor gripes. Which for an adaptation of any sort is nothing short of astounding. As far as fan service goes, oh it's there. The best moment of the show up to this point is most definitely when the Going Merry is sailing off from the island for the first time, because the soundtrack accompanying it: that's the original One Piece anime opening theme playing in the background (I think it might be the one they stuck with for the longest too...).
💜🧡💙 The fact that Vice Admiral Garp is Luffy's grandfather actually isn't revealed until over 200 episodes in the manga/anime. & yes, this anime is HUGE in Japan & has a massive global influence. It is one three animes known as the Big Three, which are animes that had a rising global impact at around the same time in the 90s & remain popular to this day. These animes are One Piece, Naruto & Bleach. I really enjoy the live action despite the changes that were understandably made. Also, Netflix has green lit a second season & it is rumored to go on for 12 seasons, which is wild.
I have to say as a fan of one piece for half my life when I watched the live action adaptation I found myself mourning the parts that were missed, the crucial moments that were re-stated or changed - but watching the four of you react to this has really allowed me to experience the joy of the story being told in a new way! Absolutely loving your reactions, I'm so glad you get to discover this extraordinary world!
Best part is how Zoro was right behind the mansion in the well, and still managed to get lost, but it all worked out. One of Zoro's defining qualities and a running joke in the anime and manga is his horrendous sense of direction.😂
I’m loving this reaction! As someone who’s been watching One Piece since I was a kid, it’s so refreshing seeing it from the perspective of someone who’s never seen the world at all - I’m excited to see the rest
To answer one of the question near the end : "Is it like one of the best animes, one of the biggest out there ?" It's the best selling book series of all time. Recently one episode completely broke all streaming platforms, legal or pirate, because it was hyped so hard. Yes. It's absolutely massive lol
I’ve never met anyone who has started the anime say they regret it. The show is absolutely the same vibe, an even higher contrast of light humor and darker content. It’s only the number of episodes that make people not try the anime, but as you’re discovering the story is compelling as are the characters so the number of episodes doesn’t matter.
not only is one piece one of "The Big Animes" it's literally the biggest. Over 1000 episodes of the anime and over 1000 chapters in the manga, it's been going for over 20 YEARS and it's still going strong and steady. There was definitely a Lot of love put into this live action, frrom the set builders to the actors who have spoken about how they've been fans of one piece since they were years
the anime one piece is the most popular and most watched anime of all time and it's been going on since 1999. it started as a Manga/ japanese comic in 1997 and is the most sold manga ever and i believe in 2021 or 2022 the anime was the most watched SHOW that year not just anime but ANY SHOW on tv that year
EASILY the best episode so far! WOW. What was your reaction? Did we miss anything?

Please react in anime one piece from episode one 🙏🙏
One Piece anime is TOTALLY BIG, it outsells Batman comic and still going strong. it's been running for around 26 years. The fandom really care about the author health because of it. If the LA sucks, i dont know what will happen, it's scary just to think about it.
upload twice a week with this series
The cat costumes made me cringe, but he fight and backstory made up for it. I cannot believe they left the hissing in there. They really do commit to the anime silliness. Respect.
I just missed child zoros vow that his name would reach up to the heavens to honor his promise
The collective "grandpa??!" At the same time as the characters absolutely killed me 😂 great reaction as always
😂
No imagine how much harder it hits in the anime/manga.... much.
@@neomanrex you find out in like episode 300 something so the shocker is even bigger
Exactly that was hilarious 🤣🤣
Haahahahahah Yes . ME TOOO😂😂
Funny thing how the *"Grandpa"* thing was revealed 300+ chapters/episodes later 😂 and it hit even harder but LA did it really cool for 1st time viewers to keep watching!
I dont think the manga one hit harder because most of us didnt know shitt about garp it just felt random even if it was a great moment, and the LA you get all the cotext of him being the one the catch roger and order his execution so it established garp being a high rank marine and the ngiving him addition screentime makes the moment hit harder
@@gamingparadise3390 yup LA has more depth, but finding out Luffy's grandpa is a VA in Navy after seeing all the stuff that Luffy pulled (E. Lobby) for example, hits way harder for majority of ppl man ❤️

you guys saying 'grandpa' at the same time as the actors did had me laughing xD
I love it, while old fans will saying 'grandpa' at the same time with Luffy, the new fans did it with a shocked face just like the rest of the crew 😂
I really love watching the reaction of the first watchers just for this "grandpa" moment
Her death in the manga was also very sudden, meant to showcase how fragile life is and how you're one accident away from an unexpected and sudden death. The sensei is her father, making she was the heir of the dojo.
She got Isekaid by Accident-Kun.
As an writer I tend to think that even if it's an accident I would show so there is an opportunity to make a callback latter to remember the audience how important it was for the character.
I'm not criticizing, it's just fine to me not to show it. Just wanna hear people's opinions of if it is a good ideia to at least tell, even if is minor, or if it's better to focus on what's important.
@@josephgatts1679yeah, she has an anime of herself now lol

Since you guys asked 😊
One Piece has officially claimed the title of the best-selling manga of all time, boasting over 500 million in sales, a record-breaking achievement. Eiichiro Oda's adventurous creation has captured the world's imagination, elevating its status to join exclusive and iconic ranks.
This pirate saga has outpaced even popular American comic books, reaching this milestone in the ongoing manga series. Remarkably, it shares this distinction with only one other literary work in history: the Harry Potter book franchise.
One Piece has achieved a remarkable milestone, with over 500,000,000 sales worldwide, placing it among the exclusive literary series in human history known to have crossed the half-billion copies mark!
To clarify, the only other series to achieve this milestone is Harry Potter, which accomplished it in 2018. Notably, Superman and other superheroes are not considered in this count, as they involve different authors, encompass various series and stories, and primarily include magazine sales rather than volume sales.
The beloved Japanese manga and anime series One Piece made its debut in 1997 and has since solidified its place as one of the all-time best-selling manga series, surpassing 500 million copies sold worldwide.
These sales figures even surpass those of American comic book giants like Batman, a franchise with multiple creative teams throughout its 83-year history. It's astonishing that One Piece managed to overtake Batman in sales.
While Superman comic books maintain the lead with approximately 600 million sales, it's important to note that most of One Piece's releases were featured in the *Weekly* Shonen Jump collection. If these *Weekly* Shonen Jump sales were included in One Piece's total, it would approach Superman's figures. One Piece's achievement, comparable to J.K. Rowling's, truly demonstrates the global influence of manga.
One Piece also has 21 billion dollars of revenue.
the episodes literally just get incrimenatlly better as they go... wat a show
the whole show does and this season is under 10% of it, world is in for a wild ride🤩

True, but the next two were peak for me in this season.
1 and 2 are better than 3 and 4.
@@TheRealBillix even under 5% bruh, one piece is HUGE.
fun fact: the theme that plays when the merry sails for the first time is an orchestral version of the first opening of the anime. gave every single long-time fan chills when it played
Every time it apears y start jumping on my chair.
I kind of love how Oak is stonefaced concentrated during the actual reaction, but in the review he's animated and absolutely sharp/great with his analysis.
I was worried during episode 1 that he wasn't liking it cause he was so straight faced and quiet. Certainly doesn't seem to be the case though...lol
wasnt it in like episode 2 or 3 someone said something and he repeated it and said my bad im just so invested lol
In terms of the pressure this show had to be a good adaptation -- if you live in East Asia, words truly cannot describe the popularity of One Piece and the chokehold both the manga and anime have had on our pop culture for the past like 25 years. It's practically UNHEARD OF for an anime-to-live-action adaptation to be this widely accepted and enjoyed by both old fans and newbies alike
No it is literally unheard of. This is the best adaption of all time.
I don't think it's unheard of. Alice in the Borderland is a big hit live action that surpassed the source material in popularity@@malcolmhodnett8874
@@malcolmhodnett8874 It's probably regarded as that cause OP is mainstream and have big fans, if we want to talk about Anime LA that success, there's some of it, but cause the nature of it, it is not widely known globally.
For example, Deathnote the 1st LA (Trilogy one by Japan), is actually considered good LA adaptation, then we have Kimi ni Todoke, Your Lie in April and Nodame Cantabile, which is still good adaptation but it's easy to overlook cause the nature of the story is kinda easy to adapted to LA.
Then we have Rurouni Kenshin and Gintama that actually success in Japan Box Office, they are both a good adaptation that really following close to the original source, and understand what makes the original manga/anime good in the 1st place.
One Piece is just that big globally, that when the LA success, it's considered breaking LA curse, even though there is several good anime to LA adaptation that already exist before.
It helps that the people doing it are actually fans of the show. You can really tell the difference.
yeah but I would argue that shows like Cowboy bebop has a very strong following by itself, and look what happened there.
I say the major factor was the control they gave to Oda.
I’m sure someone mentioned it, but I love how tragically… “normal” Kuina’s death is. In a world with crazy strong individuals and strange powers, she died in such a mundane way. There’s no one for Zoro to fight, no way to get revenge other than to fulfill their promise by living his dream. That’s so cool.
It's NOT mundane though. See, in japanese, the term "fell down the stairs", doesnt actually neccesarily mean falling down the stairs. It's heavily implied, by saying she "fell down the stairs" that she actually killed herself. Though in the manga, while we dont know yet, there are strong strong hints that she may not be dead at all.
@@DarkTider Actually that's a popular fan theory and is not, in fact, true. There is no implication in this manner. I have friends who are Japanese, and I’ve also tried to investigate where this theory originated from, but there is 0 evidence that in Japanese culture falling down the stairs can imply s******. In the manga we see her body. Kuina being alive would ruin a lot of the weight of Zoro's dream.
Also -- in One Piece, we usually only see the graves of characters who are actually dead, Pell being the exception because his would-be demise was published not too long after the 9/11 tragedy and with the unfortunately coincidental parallels Oda and his team though it would be better if Pell lived. All that to say that we've seen Kuina's grave in a chapter cover, and she can’t be Tashigi because we’ve also seen young Tashigi recently.
@@DarkTider Oda confirmed in a QA that she really did just fall down stairs, there was no intent to imply anything else.
@@JustownerYeah with how dark One Piece can get there'd be no reason to be subtle about it.
Considering how early in the series it is, I'm not surprised it is on the more subtle side. @@Igarappappa
Fun Fact: the reveal of Luffy's Grandpa happen after 300+ episodes and it is on unanimously one of the best Saga in One Piece. literally the BEST
and because of this early reveal too, some fans dont like it since that reveal episode in episode 300+ in anime is just that amazing
@@muhammadsaiful9500and better.
@@muhammadsaiful9500And also more hilarious. 😂
I agree that the anime did it better. It was funnier and more impactful because we had a better understanding of what Garp and the marine represented.
But Garp is also much less present in the animated show, so I'd say, as part an overarching plot to the live action series, this ain't too bad.
It's not even that big of a spoiler. It's just a shame it deprives new fans of the better reveal scene.
@@muhammadsaiful9500 yes, but it was only HALF reavealed. There's one more revelation that wasn't revealed so we might get it after water 7 (assuming the series go that far)...or earlier. Since the character got his scenes cut from season 1...
Fun fact for you guys, the map at the start of the credits fills with every place they go, so you can see the whole story as it unfolds and where everything is in relation
"I feel like this is just the beginning of this story" Understatement of the year, don't forget what the man said episode one, he's looking for a crew of ten members. With the unique island structure of series progression each act gets to be a wonderment of creativity, somehow managing colossal conclusions each time. They're not even on the Grand Line yet, and thats the very start to the journey of searching for the One Piece.
The biggest part of whats been cut from the Syrup Island arc is how Kuro faked his death with Axe Hand Morgan, He had a hypnotist on his team and it's assumed that the axehand & Jaw are injuries from the meeting.
Sometimes I forgot how little time they have in East Blue, it basically some kinda of prologue lol
I love how every reactor repeats grandpa to tune of the rest of the strawhats happens Everytime without fail it’s amazing
Cool. Now imagine if they saved that moment for after the crew has been with Luffy long enough to fully trust him before finding out his grandpa was a navy vice admiral.
Moving it so early robs people of that.
But hey. Gotta fill time I guess.
@@neomanrexIt doesn't really matter that it wasn't done later
@@neomanrexOf all the reasons to object to the Garp reveal being moved up, that’s got to be one of the silliest. Literally the only reason the Garp reveal comes as late in the manga as it does is because Garp and Luffy never crossed paths before then.
Even in the series, the only one who makes a big deal of Garp being Luffy’s grandfather is Nami, and the other Straw Hats are quick to point out how unimportant that fact is.
@@neomanrex okay why is a vice admiral in the east blue?
honestly give me a valid reason as to why he was there in the cover story
he's far to up the chain of command for just to pick up a traitor captain
add on that its Garp the Fist the man who regularly fought (Spoilers) and it makes even less sense
Garp having the role he does in the live action actually makes more sense than him being in the east blue for just a prisoner transfer
@@ThisisKyle Actually if you care about the crafting of stories. AKA storytelling, then yes it does. It very much does.
The decision to reveal Garp's connection to Luffy early on is honestly one of the best ones they could have made, in my opinion. I know a lot of people are torn about it but I think it was good to really get people invested.
Honestly its also just practical. There would be no way they could keep the secret for as long as the original when its an adaptation. People would get spoiled so you wouldn't be able to replicate the surprise of that original scene
@@SorchaSublimethis is a show that is an adaptation of one of the most selling series of all time that is over 20 years old. I don't really think they care about spoilers from the actual anime lol
Look how happy One Piece fans are ☺️ I knew it! I knew this live action gonna make people hooked.
13:30 THANK YOU. FINALLY, SOMEONE MENTIONS THE SCORE!! the music in the live action is INSANELY good, but ESPECIALLY in this episode. I adore that eerie wailing typa noise that plays for kuro, and my favorite bit is when kuro and luffy fight, it plays kuros theme and then an altered version of luffys music opposing it. its so good.
Zoro trains his strength every single day, it's first shown how crazy strong he is compared to everyone else when he easily picks up the safe in the first episode. In the anime/mange they show similar scenes to how strong he is including showing him train with abnormally heavy weights. So him lifting the shutters is supposed to be another example of that.
A lot of Kuro's behavior is that he was personifying a cat. Him breaking the mirrors, him playing with his food and not immediately killing every prey. It was kinda dope and hilarious to see. Even the villains are over the top.

The One Piece manga and anime is truly epic in scale. The live action show hasn't even completed adapting the events of the prologue! The series truly begins once they enter the Grand Line. I'm so happy you're enjoying this section of the story, because things only get crazier, funnier, more devastating, with countless islands, each with their own unique cultures, flora, fauna, architecture, politics, socio-economic situations, philosophies.... This world has so much D E P T H. The live action is compressed and cuts out a lot and rearranges some parts of the plot in the interest of making a TV adaptation for modern audiences, but captures the spirit of the characters, this world, and the series.
it would be no less veted by Oda himself as no script, line or scene was approved unless he approved it. He was aware of this and re arranged it for it to be more condensed but indeed not loosing its heart. Everyone praising Netflix. But it was Oda who did not let Netflix destroy it. Netflix only gets credit for respecting it.
@@Larindarr okay?
One Piece has been being the best selling manga(comic book) and best anime(animation) of all time and now it has the best adaptation(live action) too 👏 That tells a lot how incredible the story & the world of One Piece is, it keeps getting better and better each time that’s why there are millions of us loving this masterpiece for more than 20yrs now! It’s just the beginning for you guys checking out the live action but I promise the more you watch the more you want to see and digging deeper into this world & follow Luffy’s journey! It’s really the best adventure ever ❤
And best selling comic by a single author and second best selling comic of all time behind Superman and ahead of Batman
One word for one reason One Piece is amazing.... LORE!
Best selling manga, yes.
Best anime? Nope. Calm down and let's not exaggerate. It's one of the worst anime adaptations ever made. It has pacing and censorship issues, and mostly poor animation. Unless you make money doing it, there's very little to no reason to watch the anime over reading the manga.
Hell, assuming the LA keep the same quality in the next seasons it will be actually better than the anime.
@@alfanscholz8663 You are the one need to calm down lol I only stated facts meanwhile your opinion doesn’t matter and can’t change the fact that the anime is the best and loved by countless people around the world, not to mention even the opening songs of it went viral everytime and make ppl tearing up hearing one in the live action
@@alfanscholz8663 I totally agree with you. Nothing is better than the book, the bible, the manga itself drawn by Goda. However, calling the anime adaptation one of the worst is a bit of a stretch, don't you think? Cause if you think about it, the anime of One piece released in 1999 when TVs are still square and boxy. Animation wasn't as advanced and intricate back then. Tho, I 100% agree on the pacing but it has the obvious reason which is not to catch up to the manga chapters. Gintama even explained that issue in one of their episodes. Not to mention, the use of repeating flashbacks to stretch a whole episode. Kinda curious tho if people would prefer the One piece anime having to have a lot of fillers or pacing issues.
Again, not saying that it is the best anime adaptation. But it certainly has its charms and quirks. Plus, as time goes on and the further the episodes, the animation does get wild on key moments. Even tho, some people were disappointed about the animation on Luffy's peak powerup. 😂😂😂
Captain Kuro is not a devil fruit eater he just trained to be very fast and as someone who watches anime and read manga, the stuff you are going to find out going ahead will leave exactly how this episode left you- confused and excited for more.
Episode 3&4 is the slowest for most people but 5-8 is 🔥🔥🔥🔥 buckle your seatbelts!! All of your questions will be answered by the end! It’s very true to the source! But yeah this episode is basically the whole series! It’s super light hearted and gets very dark in an instant. One Piece is the #1 selling manga of all time and #2 in comics of all time! It’s already beaten Spiderman & Batman in I believe 2016 and is really close to surpassing Superman!! Lastly, this really is the best story ever told! Peak Fiction!!! You will Never know where the story is going and how it will end, It’s really a true adventure that always have you on the edge of your seats!
Over the course of a month..hearing Luffy, Zoro, over and over..felt like a dream...almost everyone came to know of OnePiece, their Dads and Grandpas...and these Humble-esque-Macho Dudes..surreal
It's literally a new wave of Grand Pirate Era (watchers). I love it.
One thing I love about watching this reaction is because they look so far from an anime fan, even though they have mention of it so they're not anime-free and they're loving this shit like any of the stereotypical nerds are. Really shows the quality of the series and this live action to draw in so many different kinds of people and so fully, too.
Fun Fact: the score that plays at the end when they're sailing off on the ship is an instrumental (and slightly changed) version of the original opening theme song to One Piece, "We Are!".
Also (ig this is technically a spoiler for the anime, but not really for the live action since they clearly cut it out),
but in the anime Kuina dies by falling down a flight of stairs, I think it was meant to show how fragile life is despite how strong you can be. But they probably changed it to just "an accident" in this so it sounded a lil less goofy.
The falling down the stairs is not in the manga where the live action is based on
@@larsrademakers6070 ahhh that makes sense
@@larsrademakers6070 No in chapter 5, somebody says quite clearly "She fell down the stairs and died"
The thing about this show is, it's getting better in every episodes.
I love how the storytelling in this LA.
Besides that, the actors, the coreografy, the music, worldbuilding, all was done beautifully. I guess this is why this is in my eyes one of the best Live Adaptation i've ever watched.
I enjoyed every episodes.
42:45 yes this is one of the big three anime. Currently there are 1077 episodes (including filler/recap episodes) and the maker of the manga, Eiichiro Oda, was directly involved in making sure things stayed as close to his story as possible. I heard he hand picked most of the cast to make sure they looked and acted as they should, so it's no surprise that the quality of this show infinitely out shines previous anime adaptations.
Are the other two of the big three Naruto and Dragon Ball? Or is it Bleach?
I was assuming they were Naruto and DBZ, but I guess Bleach would be another big one. though I believe it's just under the others as far as mainstream popularity as far as I know. @@Melanie-jy2nw

Finally, the secret is out! Garp, being Luffy's grandpa, is such a cool twist in the series, and it's been so hard not to mention it. I hope we get to see more of that fleshed out in the next episode! 😁
One Piece is amongst the biggest and most beloved animes. This show is very faithful to the story as well, some things changed for a more condensed story but ultimately the same story.
You have now seen around the first 19 episodes of content from the Anime in these first 4 live action episodes. Love your reactions to this series so far :).
Was waiting 5 days for the "Grandpa!?" reaction and it was worth it 😆
That cliffhanger just gets everyone and I'm living for your reaction to it. XD I'm thrilled y'all loved Syrup Village arc but now we're getting to my favorite arc and my absolute favorite crewmember and I cannot wait for your next reaction! One Piece hype is very real, and it's really fun to watch new fans get to know the characters and enjoy the backstories and the interplay within the crew.
I was so looking forward to the "grandpa" reaction, and you guys didn't disappoint. 😊
As a 2 year OP fan, I am still rewatching the live action. Although I miss the super goofy Ussop moments, still VERY well done!!
same I watch reactions every day
and when I get done with them I try to find new ones
Origin stories is something that anime does better than any other format. They give you 2-3 minutes at a time during an episode so that you stay invested in the main arc but also can't wait for the next bit of backstory. They brought that to the screen extremely well in One Piece. Really enjoying your reaction, can't wait for these each week!
No cause you're right. This is just the start of something big. And I mean BIIIIIG. It's an incredible show.
You were wondering if this anime is the biggest out there, and I think it's safe to say that it _is_ one of the biggest. It's one of the longest-running anime with a very big fanbase worldwide. The anime is running over a thousand episodes now and the fanbase is still growing. The manga has sold over 500 million copies over the past 2 decades. And what's unbelievable about this show is the consistency - the way it just keeps getting better and better. Most long-running anime I've seen would gradually lose its color as it's obvious how the shows weren't supposed to be long but because of fame, they got dragged out. One Piece was _meant_ to be long. And it's reallyyy crazy how it still blows my mind after a thousand episodes. It's crazy how people don't get enough of it.
Everything is vast. It's like a world of imagination writers are usually scared to write because the ideas seem to be too ridiculous, but not for Oda-sensei. He fearlessly brings those "ridiculous" ideas to life without disregarding human emotions. And it works! It might look like a bright show at first, but One Piece covers a lot of dark topics as well (like slavery and racism so far in the live action). It tells stories that get people invested in fictional characters. It talks about dreams and hope. It talks about the beauty of life. And that's why One Piece is one of the greatest anime of all time.
When they shifted the helm-gear in Kaya's parents' room, it probably weakened the lockdown a bit. Plus, Zoro can lift tons easily
About the score for this, I love how the motif for the Black Cat Pirates has deep meowing throughout it. The sort of deep, growly meows that tell you the cats are about to strike with claws bared. (If you’ve ever known an aggressive cat, you know what sound I mean.)
Can't wait for episode 5 which is where the show really starts to pick up
As someone who watched up to ep 206 of the anime, I'd say the capture the spirit & vibe of the show very well with this live action, they also compress the story arcs very well while also adding additional material (there is a decent amount of live action exclusive Coby content as far as I know). It's really impressive all around.
Zoro lifting the security cage demonstrates how his strength is above that of an average human, just like how he carried the safe in episode 1.
love your reactions to one piece ( and all the others) , best thing after watching it first time for myself. got into this show as i was 6 years old, now im 24 and it has been constantly with me for 18 years now, im so happy they nailed the adaptation.
The vice admiral is played by the actor who played Leonidas’s Captain in the movie 300.
Yeah! Here to watch your reaction so fast! Glad you're loving the episodes so far and can't wait to see your reactions to the rest of the season!
As a huge One Piece fan, I think they did the story justice, and I love seeing new people enjoy the world and characters. There's so much more to explore!
Yes this is one of the biggest mangas/animes ever. The world building and story telling is grand. And yes even with this full season you guys are just scatching the surface!
ps there are more than 1000 named characters in the story. just to give a taste of how big of a deal this is
@@Destrovipermost of which will be cut for the live action. To its detriment.
@@neomanrex unfortunately
I wouldn't mind if they cut Foxy ... I mean, seriously, I thought that he was a filler character for way too long xD
Seriously, G-8 and the Davy Back Fight (one after the other) ... I thought G-8 wasn't filler, but the Davy Back Fight was xD
@@BestAnimeFreak sure. And like game of thrones we can just leave cold hands and most of brans story out! It will totally work itself out.
As someone who has written stories... If you don't have the proper foundation you can't build very high.
The way you guys said "grandpa" syncrhronizing with the straw hats crew.😂😂😂
One Piece is the GOAT. There’s a reason it’s been going for so long and is still popular. Everyone I’ve met who’s seen it absolutely loves it. Except that one weirdo on the internet that was hating on it for no reason besides “it’s long”. This show, both live action and animated are absolutely amazing. So much fun and when they decide to hit you in the feels, they don’t hold back.
First of all, a little fandom speculation about Kuina (the girl from Zoro's flashback): in the manga, it is said she fell down the stairs and died. But "falling down the stairs" used to be an excuse in Japan to avoid saying it was actually suicide. Or maybe it's just the fandom searching too hard for an explanation to why she died offscreen.
Anyways I think the live action captures the essence of the manga/anime very well.
They do change around a lot of stuff, and they cut out a ton of background characters, that don't really matter to the narrative. But they have been keeping the characters vibes and the main checkpoints of the story.
There's a couple things I like better in the LA:
- a lot of extra scenes for Buggy, and also Kobby
- and the whole "Grandpa!?" thing happens way earlier, which makes more sense
There's a couple changes that annoy me:
- Yasopp (Usopp's dad) was encouraged by his wife to pursue his adventures as a pirate and he left before she got sick, and so Usopp always kinda had that wish to go out to sea too. The LA makes it sound like Yasopp abandoned his sick wife and his son, and Usopp was a bit pressured to become a pirate, instead of getting ready to leave on his own initiative.
- the way they changed Garp considering his attitude towards Luffy feels completely off.
This arc suffered the most changes, in my opinion. They removed pretty much all of Ussop's story and all of his moments of showing his bravery. They got rid of the village actually liking him, and pretty much using him running through as an alarm clock. Him jumping in front of Kuro to protect Kaya. Pretty much any moment that showed why luffy wanted him on the crew.
@@chadwood4412
They made some weird changes without really reducing the size of it.
Even in the manga, Syrup Village is my least favorite in the East Blue, and the live action does not improve the pacing at all, but still cuts Usopp's good moments, and puts Zoro's flashback in a random spot instead of in the same episode as Mihawk, which would make it much better.
I don't care that much about the moments, because Luffy still is a good judge of character and has a heart to heart with Usopp.
Same with the Zoro flashback, it's weirdly placed, but it still defines his character correctly.
But the thing about Usopp not taking initiative to go out to sea changes his character a bit and I don’t like it.
It also makes Shanks' crew look a bit worse for having a deadbeat dad/husband in it.
@Ana-cr8yd these episodes are where it started changing more and more from the original and having situations that don't really make sense.
Luffy not wanting to steal the boat contradicts a big part of his idea of what a pirate is, just to make him seem friendly and lovable I guess?
Zoro could lift an entire safe and survive falling in a well on his head, but a bottle knocks him out?
Luffy questioning his decision to let zoro fight, worrying over his bedside, and things like that just slowly built up until I decided it wasn't for me.
It's a great adaptation compared to others, but I think people were expecting such trash, something mediocre made them jump for joy. They got so much right, from sets to costume, but the changes to the story made the emotions just not hit even close to the same.
@Ana-cr8yd also this made Kuro's plan make even less sense than the original because, at least then, he was gonna blame his crew after they raided the village.
@@chadwood4412 I agree on the part about the bottle knocking out Zoro. It felt like they needed to put him in that well somehow to have the weirdly placed flashback.
And Kuro doesn't come off as a guy with a good plan in the LA. But I didn't care that much for Kuro in the manga, still, they could've still made his plan make sense, even without his crew on the equation.
As for not stealing the boat, I thought it was pretty neat. In the manga they go ask for a boat too, and Luffy wouldn't steal from Kaya because Usopp likes her. Besides, like this, they start building up Merry as a legit crewmate from the beginning in a way that is in the audience's face, since in the manga it only gets really apparent in the Skypea saga. Also, they don't attempt to steal their second ship either, Luffy likes the shipwrights from Water 7. Although they are pirates, the ships are always made to "join them" like a crewmate.
I'll only say that the only dumb thing was Luffy's interaction with Nami discussing it, because they bet on nothing lol.
As for the Zoro thing, Luffy does worry about him in the manga too, with all the screaming when he gets cut down. And the dialog before the fight is just to make it apparent why Luffy doesn't stop him. They just made it more apparent in the LA, so people would understand why Zoro becomes so loyal to Luffy without having to read between the lines. It'd be a risk if they read Luffy wrong, because he'd come off as an uncaring jerk. So I don't mind it, their characters come off as what they should be, everything considered.
My only issue with it is that Sanji was not present for any of the Mihawk fight and the dream conversation. Those two idiots getting bloodied up for their dreams is what sells Sanji on the Straw Hats ideals. Especially the Mihawk thing, since Zoro gets massacred.
I was laughing my ass off at your guys' resction to Grandpa, oh my gosh! 😂 That was the best!! I was also SO HAPPY when Oda (the author of One Piece) allowed Usopp and Kaya to kiss!! (Oda is infamous for not wanting kissing in his anime) Also they did SO WELL for bringing Captain Kuro to life, he's so frikin creepy!
Thanks for your reaction. Congrats you reached a big unexpected reveal that Garp is Luffy's grandpa.
Monkey D Luffy
Monkey D Garp
Garp debut some 300 episodes later in the anime.
So its super surprising to fans that Garp will be revealed as Luffy's grandpa so soon in the live action.
Being an anime nerd obsessing over One Piece for 11 years now. I can’t tell you how vindicating it feels to know you guys enjoy it. For so long I’ve been trying to get people into this amazing story. I’m so grateful to Netflix for bringing this story to the people.
Glad to see new fans getting to know the franchise and enjoying it. Not gonna lie I was terrified when I heard Netflix is making a live action show of my favorite Manga/ Anime, especially with their crap record, but they pulled it off and thanks to them I get to watch more people enjoy that show. Looking forward to your reaction to the last 4 episodes of season 1.
Also to answer your question at the end. One Piece is the most sold manga ever, and is only second to Superman is comic sales. Projected to surpass superman if it keeps running at same pace. That being said, the story is getting to it's final chapters so it might stay at #2 if no spinoffs are drawn.
"the story is getting to it's final chapters"
I remember when that was said when I was still in school ... more than 10 years ago ... xD
But I guess Oda isn't getting younger either ... so ... maybe in the next 15 years xD
@BestAnimeFreak I'm not Oda but based on the news and updates we are really getting close to the end. I get that it could last 5 years more or less, but idk if that is enough to take first place and keep it. Hard to say.
I really love the way Luffy stops Coby from coming after him, despite their friendship. In the anime it’s arguably better - after initially rescuing zoro, the marines arrive and assume that Luffy, Nami, Zoro and Coby are one pirate group, and so Luffy knocks out Coby before escaping to make it look like they’re actually enemies, thus allowing the marines to let Coby join them
I am enjoying your reactions a lot and this adaptation is perfect I am in love with the live action as much as I love the ANIME can't wait for season 2, I can’t wait to see your reactions to the last four episodes they are even better when I first watched it I got so emotional in every episode because of the story, casting, acting and fights scenes ❤ ❤ ❤.
I didn't know anything about One Piece, it was my first time and the collective "Grandpa" was my reaction!
Just like you I started watching this show without knowing anything about it, but it turned out so great. Next episode is even greater
I CANT WAIT UR REACTIONS TO THE NEXT NEXT NEXT NEXT EPISODES COMEEEE ONNNN A WEEK IS TOOOO LOOOOONG 😭😭
Season 2 is gonna go so hard after the success of S1. Excited for the second season of Arcane too (whenever that comes out)
I do love how well the actors capture the characters.
that grandpa revelation doesnt come till like 300 episodes
11:55
And Helmeppo (Axe Hand Morgan's son) looks like Prince Vallium 😂
Something worth noting, when talking about the anime - which is regarded highly to this day - is that it's still releasing new episodes. The first episode came out Oct. 20th in 1999, and as of now, there are 1077 episodes, and it is still going strong. In the anime, beating Kuro was ep17, so hopefully, that gives a bit of perspective of how huge of an adventure is still left to go. If you watched the anime on your channel, you'd have content long past retirement. 😁
Yea, one piece is one of the biggest anime’s. Garp being Luffy’s grandfather is something we only learnt after quite a few more arcs in the anime. Somewhere around episode 300 and something. That’s also about the time where we find out Koby and Helmeppo we’re stationed together as marines under Garp. So that was major spoilers for anyone who hadn’t seen up to that episode in the anime.
The fight with Kuro was a lot longer, and his whole pirate crew showed up and a lot of the hijinks happened. Kuro also, gravely damaged his crew in the fight as a last ditch effort to win.
But just wait, it keeps getting better!
Hiii one piece is the best I’m so happy u guys r watching one piece let’s gooooooo!!!!!
They've done a great job so far. They basically condense like 45 episodes into this season and some stuff they brought in early from much later seasons. There are still like 20 episodes (of anime) left of the East Blue stuff that they will do in season 2.
The live action was actually based heavily on the manga (Japanese comic book) not the anime. Most of the scenes, the character designs and sets can be seen in the manga volumes itself. Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the manga, actually was very against a live action because he did not think they could do the world justice but he gave Netflix the green light since technology has advanced significantly since he first released his story in 1997. He was also heavily involved in the production of the show and all changes had to go through him, which is probably why it’s being received so well by fans. The anime was a 1:1 adaptation of the manga and it doesn’t really have good pacing although the animation quality has certainly improved in the recent arcs. It has over a 1000 episodes and the manga has reached over a 100 volumes now so if Netflix does it right, this could be a longstanding series for them.
I'm literally so excited for you to drop the reaction to episode 5, it's such an amazing episode ahhh!!
cant wait for ep 5. gna be epic
the music which is playing when they got their ship is the original opening to the anime. its called "we are"
and the accident was just: she fell down the stairs and died. thats it. nothing more to it
man they gon love Ep 5
Episode 5 is my favorite. Can’t wait for the reaction. ✝️
Oh they cut out the part where Kuina is talking about the struggles a woman who wants to be a warrior has and how the odds are stacked against her by nature. That's what gave the scene / their promise to be the best swordsman in the world so much weight imo. "You're my goal" is such a hard line. Also the fact she died, so Zoro has to keep that promise, but idk it kind of falls flat without the full scene.
Loved the reaction as always, guys!
I’m wondering when the Barbie reaction it’s coming out… love from Brasil ❤
Every Monday we post our weekly schedule on our community tab. :)
Fun fact : at 32:47 it is arrangement version of the original 1st opening of one piece anime
In the original story kuina “fell down the stairs” and died, it’s a known things that in Japanese culture falling down stairs is an idiom for suicide, however it was never confirmed some fans assume that kuina did in fact take her own life because she thought she wouldn’t be able to fulfill her dream because she was a woman
But she and Zoro made a promise, didn't they? Why would she do that?
@@margarithadamaledo6631maybe she wanted to believe but in the end couldn’t. And she realized she couldn’t face Zoro after that heartfelt promise
I believe it's suppose to put emphasis to the fragility in life, and without spoiling things the anime showed how falling down the stairs could be dangerous for such a swordsman at some point.
@@tomspoli I've read somewhere that it was just an accident. She was rushing down some wet stairs for a sharpening stone to get ready to train with Zoro It shows that your dreams can end through no fault of your own.
This is one of the most spread fake facts when it comes to one piece, there is no such thing as a saying or idiom of falling down the stairs meaning suicide in Japanese. She fell down the stairs in a literal sense
23:47 I like to believe that, even though they didn't manage to fully open the mansion, they did unlock the mechanism. That is why Zorro could just lift it up.
The accident Kuina died from is stated as "fell down the stairs" in manga which is still ridiculed and hated by fandom. The reason it was not mentioned here is either they recognize it too or Oda actually been deceiving all and have a different story in mind. The stairs thing is still a meme in OP community
Ah yes the "fandom"
Yet, not all fans are part of the fandom.
@@JackiW good for u. U might get a medal of recognition for it soon. Look forward to it 👍
Ridiculed? Sure. But “hated” is a bit strong. People die in freak accidents all the time, and knowing how to fight with swords doesn’t make the human body any less fragile.
She wasn’t shot, poisoned, boiled alive, blasted to pieces by the Marines, or even devoured in a croquembouche-related mishap. Doesn’t make her death any less heartbreaking for Zoro because she fell down the stairs.
@@kinggoldark3853 now worried about symantics? Calling it disliked will make the plot better?
Also looking for realistic approach where birdman doesn't die from nuke or MC doesn't die will hole in chest or u ride ship to sky?? It maybe fine with u but don't try to cover up a lazy/bad choice of plot in such vital backstory. Ur personal choice is ur personal choice but majority still "hate" that part for their beloved Zoro's backstory and make fun of it instead as a way to vent frustration
Neither use of a diplomatic word choice or some lame excuse can ever cover up such things. If it was so perfect, why wasn't it mentioned here then? Guess the show runners and Oda aren't as realistically empowered in their vision as u 🙄
So just a small fun fact… the song that they play when they sail off on the Going Merry for the first time is an orchestral version of the original opener for the anime. It’s super nostalgic to hear it, and it fits so well with the feel for adventure as We Are finally a crew.
Release the next one quickly. 7-10 days are too much
For insight: Manga wise it's been #1 for 20ish/25 years its been around and the anime has been up there since the beginning as well! Big reason why it's underrated to the US is it being around for SO long and was hard to localize (4kids tried) until recently. Been watching anime since the 90s and One Piece is a gem like no other. The worldbuilding, character development, symbolism, and creativity is breathtaking. Oda (One Piece) creator is hands on with everything as well which is what makes this franchise drastically more fun than other anime/manga.
Wait you are still at EP4? Jeez, you guys are sloooooow
one a week like they do for basically every show
Each week, we have multiple items scheduled for release, and we're dedicated to keeping those commitments. We can't interrupt those schedules just to expedite the release of One Piece content on TH-cam. We hope you can appreciate the way our process works.
Watching you guys react and have fun watching this show has been a blast! As a long-time One Piece fan, I think they've done an amazing job with this show. I have some minor gripes, but they're just that: minor gripes. Which for an adaptation of any sort is nothing short of astounding.
As far as fan service goes, oh it's there. The best moment of the show up to this point is most definitely when the Going Merry is sailing off from the island for the first time, because the soundtrack accompanying it: that's the original One Piece anime opening theme playing in the background (I think it might be the one they stuck with for the longest too...).
💜🧡💙 The fact that Vice Admiral Garp is Luffy's grandfather actually isn't revealed until over 200 episodes in the manga/anime. & yes, this anime is HUGE in Japan & has a massive global influence. It is one three animes known as the Big Three, which are animes that had a rising global impact at around the same time in the 90s & remain popular to this day. These animes are One Piece, Naruto & Bleach. I really enjoy the live action despite the changes that were understandably made. Also, Netflix has green lit a second season & it is rumored to go on for 12 seasons, which is wild.
Oda already announced in TikTok that season 2 is already in the making. I don’t know when is the release date but hopefully next year. I’m so excited
I have to say as a fan of one piece for half my life when I watched the live action adaptation I found myself mourning the parts that were missed, the crucial moments that were re-stated or changed - but watching the four of you react to this has really allowed me to experience the joy of the story being told in a new way! Absolutely loving your reactions, I'm so glad you get to discover this extraordinary world!
Best part is how Zoro was right behind the mansion in the well, and still managed to get lost, but it all worked out.
One of Zoro's defining qualities and a running joke in the anime and manga is his horrendous sense of direction.😂
The way they held back from playing *We Are* (the anime first theme song) until they got the ship was the perfect move.
I’m loving this reaction! As someone who’s been watching One Piece since I was a kid, it’s so refreshing seeing it from the perspective of someone who’s never seen the world at all - I’m excited to see the rest
To answer one of the question near the end : "Is it like one of the best animes, one of the biggest out there ?"
It's the best selling book series of all time. Recently one episode completely broke all streaming platforms, legal or pirate, because it was hyped so hard. Yes. It's absolutely massive lol
I’ve never met anyone who has started the anime say they regret it. The show is absolutely the same vibe, an even higher contrast of light humor and darker content. It’s only the number of episodes that make people not try the anime, but as you’re discovering the story is compelling as are the characters so the number of episodes doesn’t matter.
It’s one of the biggest anime ever. It’s what people think of when they think of anime
not only is one piece one of "The Big Animes" it's literally the biggest. Over 1000 episodes of the anime and over 1000 chapters in the manga, it's been going for over 20 YEARS and it's still going strong and steady.
There was definitely a Lot of love put into this live action, frrom the set builders to the actors who have spoken about how they've been fans of one piece since they were years
The grandpa reaction was perfect. Also episode 5 is incredible! Can’t wait for you guys to watch it.
Btw the reason luffy says "gum gum" because in japanese "gum gum" (or the pronunciation) means "Rubber rubber".
Just finished! Amazing reactions! Mannnn yall are in for a treat with Ep. 5.. Cant wait!
the anime one piece is the most popular and most watched anime of all time and it's been going on since 1999. it started as a Manga/ japanese comic in 1997 and is the most sold manga ever and i believe in 2021 or 2022 the anime was the most watched SHOW that year not just anime but ANY SHOW on tv that year
