#OnePiece #Netflix - ภาพยนตร์และแอนิเมชัน
For me, in Syrup Village, in the live action, they failed to emphasize Usopp's dream; To be a brave warrior of the sea. Iin the live action, he's more into protecting Kaya. There are actually no reason for joining the crew. Same with Nami. Her only dream was protecting Coco village from Arlong. Not once they mentioned about charting the world.
i think that's coz they showed it with her flash back she stole a book about charting but thats just me
As a first time watcher the way I understood it was that Usopp is done telling lies and wants real adventures, he did hesitate when they were mentioning the dreams at the end so I can't wait to see more of him in season 2. As for nami she did tell luffy that one should grow out of their dream then showed her stealing a map book in the flash back as well as her making maps for arlong. I don't know about how this compares to the original but thy made sense to me
Considering that Robin gets introduced as Miss All Sunday it'll be fun to see how they incorporate her wanted poster.
No wanted poster reveal until name reveal. Easy
Buggy becoming a fan favorite despite being one of the characters who could've been done the worst feels like yet another BUggy moment. Mans just can't stop winning without doing shit.
They obviously nailed the first s1, it has it's flaws however all this can be improved for a s2. Really hoping they revise the scripts for s2 to take in the critcisms people are giving them cause they really can make s2 perfect now that they have a formula and foundation. Also if they continue with the b plot formula prob with smoker and tashigi I really hope they find a way to balance when they need scenes and when we need to focus on the straw hats cuz koby really took away time from usopp development in syrup village just for koby to really do nothing in that arc in the end. However, im glad my wants that Last of Us and One Piece are the best live action adaptation in 2023 are true.
OMG I DIDN'T EVEN REALIZE A SEASON 2 COULD BE A WHOLE SMOKEY AND TASHIGI B-PLOT 😭😭😭
I need it. Like right now.
Lets just hope it doesn’t take another 49 min to tell the B plot storyline. It would be a waste…
@@Koroto more expansion on smoker and tashigi dynamics and goals will have me all the way UP
@@evernightcg9081 yea if they do them as a B plot I hope it more strategic as putting their storyline in specific points instead of trying to put them in every arc like they did with kobymeppo/garp storyline which was still enjoyable.
It's Netflix guys. DO NOT GET YOUR HOPES UP! One of two things will happen: Sason two will go FULL woke and be ruined with excessive fourth wall preachiness OR they will cancel the show
I'm sure Garp tried to stop Luffy at first.
Throughout the season you see his inner conflict and all the influences that lead to him giving up in the end and letting Luffy move on.
This worked brilliantly.
I felt exactly the same way as you did about the super close-up shots. Maybe the directors wanted to focus on the actors faces? Fine, but use bust shots then. Not having the camera _right_ on the actors' faces.
I was bummed that we couldn't see the characters' body languages and hand movements in some scenes because of these close-up shots. Like in the scene where Luffy defeats Arlong then calls out to Nami that she's part of his crew, and the Straw-hats are all laughing, Sanji is putting his hands on Nami's shoulders and Nami is placing her hand on his, but we literally can't see this wholesome gesture because the camera is zoomed in right on Nami's face!
Not to mention some scenes looked slightly weird/funny (in scenes that weren't meant to be funny) because of the close-ups.
But this is just one of the small nitpicks I had with the OPLA and overall, I really enjoyed this series. I can feel the love and hard work that went into creating this. I hope hope hope we get more seasons and if we do, I hope they can get more episodes per season because I felt that the not-so-great changes in the story mostly came from having to cut down parts of the story to fit it in 8 episodes. If the pacing is fixed, I think it'll make this series even greater!
The close-ups are to imitate panels of manga. Which was super unnecessary, they aren't doing those for MCU movies now, are they.
My biggest issue is with ussop. I feel his character in the comedy aspect is spot on, but not enough is focused on him being a coward. It makes his arc and motivation fall flat.
Big true.
I think part of it is just that he didn't really get the focus the other characters got as a consequence of the condensed first season in general and the Syrup Village changes in particular. If it gets a season 2 I think they'll have to make some ground with his character, perhaps by taking some time and focusing on him at Little Garden.
@@LobsterSpecial yea i think s2 can do wonders for more focus on usopp specifically during little garden where we finally get like a real look at his dreams.
We live in 2023, they can't make one of the only black characters a coward.
@@NLJeffEU oof, that's a fair point
I appreciate how you touched on Usopp’s portrayal this season. Jacob Romero was very charismatic and intriguing in how he delivered Usopp’s scared factor, but also the endearingly charismatic storytelling aspect of Usopp. So yea, he was one of the best live-action portrayals superior to the manga version in my opinion; I also found him annoying first time meeting him in the east blue arc. But I also wish they gave more weight to his backstory! I hope we get to see greater development of his character so his part in the straw-hat crew is very meaningful, not just for laughs & gags.
But nah, it was still goofy the way Zoro went from dodging & beating Marines in a bar at Shells Town, to getting instantly knocked on the head with a beer bottle to pass out is nonsense 😂
The one thing I thought it was missing music-wise was their own Overtaken, they had We Are and Binks' Brew incorporated in other tracks, like it could've easily been used on the walk to Arlong Park
Being that Netflix one piece was my introduction, I really enjoyed the Garp stuff in the first season. Now I’m in the anime where we are supposed to meet Garp and I think the Netflix show made the right move putting him and Coby in the first season
My biggest issue was that Aarlong didn't bite Luffy during their fight
Just a lil tip when something is as recent as this you should call it like recap or review and analyzation or something, that'll get more hits than retrospective because since its not old people won't search for it using the term retrospective
Honestly the only change I strongly dislike is Nami's village not knowing about her sacrifice. Probably just because I always really loved how it happened in the og, especially Nojiko's tattoo
Never watched the anime or had even heard of it. Didn't matter, this is a really good show in it's own right. Why? Charm, chemistry, style, passion, performances. The guy playing Luffy is outstanding.
"Never watched the anime or had even heard of it. "
I hear this sentiment expressed over and over again. netflix knows it wouldn't be believable if their shills pretended to be one piece fans and give it a high rating.
@@jimbeam-ru1my Your account was created in 2023, you're either a child, a shill, or some idiot coming in real late. Either way your opinion doesn't mean shit.
@@jimbeam-ru1mythe show was good 😂 you trippin
after the live action announcement i decided lemme watch one piece the anime im currently at the punk hazard arc the anime is amazing and the live action is good and its gone get better hopefully
@@jimbeam-ru1myyou are in the minority. Also stop liking your comments. It just makes you look desperate.
@@mAzDaR20 "you are in the minority"
True. you're in the majority of the stupid that will think what you are told to think and like what you are told to like. But is that really something to brag about?
I did not watch the anime nor read the manga, and i was startled when you told me that this random dude who got fed in the restaurant was an actual character in the sauce lol
I've always seen the first season as the series getting their footing. Seeing what works, what doesn't and moving from that to improve over the series. I do feel that they could have added the Cokoyashi village and tattoos in and maybe Jandgo, but I'm happy with what we got.
For me it was 9/10. I have some issues, mostly with some of the changes, but overall it's a fun time and I can't wait till season two is out. I seem to be one of the few people who enjoyed the Garp storyline, but he is one of my favorite characters, so maybe it's a simple as that. When it comes to the Usopp, I get the impression that they deliberately wrote his character in such a way that we're gonna get major pay off during the second season. Like specifically during the barrels scene where they all declare their dreams, he is the only one who doesn't declare his overlapping with a shot from his backstory. This to me comes off as very deliberate, and as a form of set up.
"For me it was 9/10. "
It ought to be 10/10 when you consdier what netflix is paying you for your bogus reviews.
woo been waiting to hear your take on the live action
34:30 Kuro who just pushes Usopp unconscious: *survives and exists*
8:40 honestly, I agree. He's more charming. Sanji in the anime is good, but he has his moments where I get turned off by him.
Although I disagree with the B plot. I liked it since it gives more characterization for Garp and Coby. But I do agree with the Cocoyashi stuff was a miss. The whole point of Nojiko even having tattoos is to comfort Nami being branded. They should've made Syrup village 1 episode and 3 episodes for Arlong Park.
Monster not getting any love from anyone beside its hardcore fans will always bother me.
From the first-time viewers (unfamiliar with anime/manga) I've seen, and I've almost seen them all, most don't ever see the turn in Garp and Helmeppo coming. And most (including myself) found it so satisfying when it all finally came together. And right, it eventually does transpire in the anime, but I think better sooner than much, much later.
I hard disagree with you saying that interconnecting everything makes for better world building. It feels way more forced to have garp call up mihawk and have him just be within two hours of Luffy than mihawk naturally wandering into them by hunting don krieg for fun. In the original it’s his character that causes him to come across the crew rather than the writers spawning him in like the final boss of the level. They do this kind of thing a few times in the season where they change a characters plan or motivations in a way that I thought detracted from the emotional weight of the situation.
I am going to support your position. It gives a feel that the World isn't moving unless its in relation to Luffy. Garp is supposed to be off being a Vice Admiral. After Buggy is knocked away he's supposed to have his own little adventures and then teams up with Alvida for the Logue Town ambush. Instead Buggy's head is kept in proximity of Luffy and Co.
As you point out, Mihawk is booting the Krieg Pirates out of the Grand Line. To WORLD BUILD the Grand Line we're supposed to see the straggling remnants of the infamous Kreig fleet barely limp one ship back, starved and frightened. This builds up the Grand Line. Also how does Mihawk get from the Grand Line to Baratie so fast? I guess the ocean isn't all that big.
Having all the characters literally on Call detracts. Also Warlords don't follow orders. They get pressed into a showdown with the Whitebeard Pirates where who shows up and who doesn't is a big plot element, Jimbei, Boa.
I like that they change things but keep to the overall feel of the story. Like you pointed out, what works in animation doesn't translate well to live action. Also, I don't see the point of doing a one for one narrative. Retelling the same story over and over with no changes is boring.
Gotta love the use of the Chainsawman ending song at 3:24 , great detail!
Chainsaw Man EDs were soooooooooo good, I need season 2 😭😭😭
been waiting for this video and was not disappointed
I can’t wait for season 2, this show made me finally give the anime a chance and I can’t be more grateful
i was waiting for your review and you banged it
Thanks for not spolling the anemia in your review, I'm ONLY on ep 378...except for the "time skip" but I already knew about that from a meme
The cinematography is one of The Best parts of The séries Koro. Every shot gave The feel of something more theatrical, more like a play, and like a play, they want you tô believe its real, but there is always that uncanny valley of knowing its not.
The close up shota of Usopp made his nose look bigger, without The anime bs.
Great vídeo, like always! ❤❤❤
They had Django's wanted poster, so I was disappointed when he didn't show. Logue Town maybe!
About Cocoyashi: I don't think the change ruins Namis character (maybe even makes it more tragic like you mentioned) but it does kinda ruin Genzo and Nojiko's characters because they already knew Nami and should have been speculative about her joining Arlong at such a young age.
Also, Oda himself was hesitant about the Garp B plot. It was the showrunner Steven Maeda that had to convince Oda about it
Not to mention their mom kinda goes down...less cool. These origin-story characters are pretty strong so we remember them. Now they're kinda less special.
Jacob should’ve been told to walk A LOTTTTT before shooting the first season because jacobs muscle levels dwarf ussopps currently 👀
I do wish the Garp b-side story could have been a lot more clearer on why he's going after Luffy like if they focused more on a personal goal instead of being like. I'm a vice marine and he's a pirate so I have to capture him. Instead why not focus on stopping Luffy from achieving his own bounty which officially symbolizes him as a true pirate crossing that threshold of no return. And it would also clash with the whole idea of Luffy's dream better. Also I get why Garp was laughing in some of the scenes in the live action. But I do feel like it clashed with how his character was portrayed at Rodgers execution making him seem a lot more serious and threatening there than how he was portrayed after. Luv the show by the way XD...
What do you feel about the writing regarding Luffy particularly announcing his morality, and becoming too much of a "hero"? He even listens to the backstory, when in the manga he doesn't know anything.
Yeah I get you... Even in the anime, Luffy really doesn't care, and he only see what's coming in the future and doesn't dwell in the past that's why he doesn't listen to backstories...
Great analysis and overview of LA season 1.
Binks Sake' playing in the background makes sense considering how popular that traditional sea shanty was/is.
They do a lot good, but they don't hit the emotions on the same level.
The only "curse" live-action anime adaptations have ever had are producers that didn't respect the source material; a curse that we've seen affecting pretty much every adaptation Hollywood has been attempting of classic well-loved properties in all genres for the last several years.
0:24 did I just notice.....he's holding the cup with his foot!!!!!!
U never know what you could discover
My wife, who barely even knew that one piece existed, really enjoyed this show and we're actually planning on starting the anime now
Things that must happen in season 2 is
The giants and Usopp/Chopper vs Mr. 4 and Ms. Ground hog to further develop Usopp's character.
Every change they made for dramatic emotional moments was to it's detriment. And it would have taken like an extra 20 seconds maybe to do Usopp justice in his battle to become a brave warrior of the sea when defeating Chu. That was such a triumphant moment for him in the anime. They really dropped the ball in a lot of ways. That being said i loved the show and will most likely watch it again multiple times. I'm just surprised that they changed so many fundamental things about some of the Strawhats backstories and motivations. Nami got kidnapped right after her mother got shot in the head after paying for her freedom. They immediately took her freedom away and enslaved her. But in the live action she's a 10 year old girl boss who approaches Arlong with a deal? What?!
I wholly agree. The lows of the Anime were raised, but the Peaks were smoothed out. All my favorite moments got a nerf, while the weaker moments got a buff. Also yes, Nami was also playful like a cat. She's a cat burglar, and is often called one. LA Nami was far less playful and just a bit more dour.
As an anime watcher who has never seen the show and has literally no knowledge of anything in the story, I really enjoyed the live action One Piece! I thought it was funny, warm, and a good time! I had pretty low expectations since live action anime adaptations normally aren't the best, but this was really really good and I was thoroughly impressed!!!
It'll never not be funny to me, to see Garp, the seasoned vice admiral, in his briliant white uniform, don the silly dog hat.
On first watch, I got a text and completely missed that Shanks lost his arm in the first place. I had to re-watch it after talking to somebody on Discord about how they didn’t do it.
8:40 100% AGREED PEAK VIDEO
I think Sanji is overall better in the LA, but the moment the Anime Sanji morphs from a jaded adult into a small excitable child when talking about the All Blue, that'd be one of my favorite Sanji moments I'd feel deeply for. It just wasn't as good.
finally someone understands la zoro is only as goofy as la zoro should be,if they tried to bring same goofiness it would have been so goofy
I think hair and dialogue are the main issue I have with live action adaptions
Don’t keep the hair coloured make it a natural colour that is close to the original. Make the dialogue grounded, vague and realistic. The live action has so much material they could’ve used that to foreshadow or imply more.
-and the clothes (they don’t have to be the exact same) make them look rugged and tone appropriate
And the camera angles/shots😤
So does the original need to have problems that the adaptation fixes? I feel like a big part of the problem with adaptations is that people already feel like the original is flawless, so any changes made in the adaptation are unnecessary, but either it's to fit the tone of a different medium, to improve upon elements in the original that were under-explored or underdeveloped, or to change things for the sake of it that makes it worse than the original. I think writers have to be so careful with what they change, what they add and what they remove from the source material
8:39 goated edit this made me crack up
🙇♂️Go D Usopp🙇♂️
I want to complain and explain my personal issues but don't want to put the 10 minutes of explaining into a comment.
In short, the actor's script/delivery are just off in the most important moments. They altered Roger's speech at the start. Zoro's losing speech doesn't hit. Luffy's agreeing to help Nami just seems awkward. And Shanks saving Luffy and giving him the hat both fell flat for me.
The live action is good (especially compared to others in the same medium), but there was just SO MUCH potential that was missed out on that wouldn't even require that much more time/effort/money.
Weird how they get some things like set and props filled to the brim with love and scattered easter eggs, and then missing on any emotional beat possible...
I agree, you're also one of the few that also doesn't like Roger's speech. Sanji reverting to a happy kid about the All Blue, a face he almost never makes in the series. Nami asking the villagers to "Die with me" in battle against Arlong, not to mention the Help Me. Nami's theme of relying and willing to sacrifice others is going to come up again with Vivi.
One cannot meddle with One Piece and not have consequences.
4:59 YES finally the wrong shall be righted Pell WILL get his glorious sacrifice!!!
You showed monster at the start of the video, I guess as an example of an anime that could easily adapt to live action. Here's the thing though; I desperately do not ever want to see a monster live action ever unless it's directed by Martin fucking Scorsese. Or Christopher Nolan (if he ever figures out human emotions)
The live action made me love One Piece.
If we include Robin and have her arc in the next season, that ALSO MEANS FRANKY!! YOW!
I really need to get my mind right. I thought the „baddies“ section was about a whole nother topic.
The worst part was changing the garp, mihawk, and coby. Garp is not himself way too serious. Mihawk does not listen to the marines until his position is threatened. The extra scenes with coby and garp made important moments rushed in east blue. I.e. syrup village and ussop arc, arlong park, and baratie having arlong instead of don krieg misses the whole point of sanjis introductory arc. If we cut all the koby, garp subplot the pacing would of been so much better.
Good video
I think the main problem they need to deal with going forward is episode count or runtime. They either need at least 10 episodes or 15 additional minutes of runtime. & I think Skypiea & Thriller Bark should be standalone projects like a movie rather than taking up 3 or 4 episodes of a season since they are 1-off adventures that Don’t really affect the plot other than foreshadowing & introducing characters. Oh yeah, & more interactions with the group on the ship. That was the best part of pre-timeskip & especially Baroque Works with Vivi. Their ship interactions on the daily.
I really enjoyed the show
I really loved it! But I don't agree about toning down Sanji. They could have at least let my man smoke!
Regarding the cinematorgraphy of One Piece Live Action...
I think an important objective of live action anime adaptions going forward will be to develop 'cinematic languge' for how live action anime adaptions should look as opposed to the approach that thas been taken thus far. Apparently _Creed 3_ of all movies has taken some very strong steps in this direction due to Michael B. Jordan's anime influences. And my gods if that man is lucky enough to ever get to adapt *_Dragonball Z_* and knock it out of the park in the same way that One Piece Live Action did - or even *_better_* than that!!! - then I think that will be a rather strong win as well.
It very much seems like One Piece Live Action has proven to be the _Batman '89 moment_ for live action anime adaptions so it will be interesting to see how long it will take for a _Dark Knight moment_ and then an _Avengers moment_ to happen for live action anime adaptions, the last of which would ideally usher in a *_Golden Age of Live Action Anime Adaptions_* not unlike what we had last decade with live action Superhero adaptions.
It's important to remember that we didn't go from those 1940s black and white Batman adaptions to 2012's _The Avengers_ overnight!!!
18:13 You streamed your reaction?? THEN WHERE IS IT! we wanna see it bruh!
Yup, all 8 hours are on my second channel (Koroto TV in the description) 😅
I'm OP Enjoyer. I enjoyed video. I subscribe. 🗿
I'm also a OP enjoyer. Glad that you subscribed. 🗿
Jin literally did exactly what he did in the manga/anime, there wasn't any don crieg afterwards.
I didn't feel like they changed anything about jin
Actually they did changed it sadly
not sure if you've seen it yet but Matt Owens went on Hasan's stream again and apparently they actually shot a lot more with Usopp! When the writer's strikes happened, Matt had to leave and stop working on the rest of the editing and so he doesn't know why it didn't make it in
Well I don't agree with everything details but basically YEAH, it did incredibly, and incredibly better than anyone could have anticipated !
Although I don't want to minimize the work any actor/voice actor made... in japanese, the show was a banger x')
They cast the original VA of the anime, and oooh boy it's crazy how it fits the adaptation actors so well !
RIP Netflix's budget if they hit the point where logias are pretty common xD
Gear 5.
My top 10 favorite live action manga adaptations are currently :)
1. Rurouni Kenshin films
2. Oldboy 2003
3. Ichi the killer
4. Alice in Borderland show
5. One piece show
6. Lone wolf & cub films
7. Lady snowblood 1&2
8. Blade of the immortal
9. Crying freeman
10. Guyver: Dark hero
Alice in Borderland was really good. I never read the manga or anything but the show was damn good. Highly recommend that to people
I watched 1 episode of the anime and Didnt like it. I loved this show 👍
Had me in the first half... Whatever gets people to enjoy it, welcome aboard! 🙌
(Do give the manga a look though 👀)
@@Koroto not big on manga's 😅 but hé i started watching your one piece video's and mabye i start it after your video's. You alsow put me on Aot 👍
As someone who had no clue abt anything in one piece, ussop sorta felt more insecure as a character. Yes it’s not what his character is in the manga, but it fits well with the story and maintains his other characteristics. As long as it’s well done idgaf
🔥
My biggest problem with the live action adaptation personally is that it feels like they really tried to push in the themes from way later on in the story in a much less fulfilling way, feeling very forced. Almost no subtelty at all in the adaptation.
Edit: to elaborate more, I think that they had a lot of potential and many scenes had great moments, but then suddenly the dialogue would just spill out and explain the themes in the most obvious way possible
I just want a 12 ep season and im good tbh
easy 7-8/10 for me, I just hope it doesn't follow the common trend of netflix shows of producing a solid S1 only to losing most of the magic for S2.
"No one is really criticizing us, so I guess its fine to do whatever. Giants won't be important, let's skip those."
The casting of this show put Avatar to shame they were all great.
Would a live action Hunter x Hunter be a potential success as well? Because I would love that
tl;dr not one piece fan but enjoyed the anime. didn't really like live action, it's fine i guess. lots of problem with luffy looking creepy, have some problems with nami and usopp story/character, sanji was better in live action
okay i enjoyed the one piece anime, even though i won't say i am a one piece fan (i watched it cause my older brother insisted, we even went to a point where if he watches it with me, i'll watch cause i cannot really be certain i'll watch it on my own lol). anyways, here's what i feel (i have not watched one piece in years, so maybe i'll have some stuffs i may have forgotten but i'll go with what i just felt, if i said anything incorrect don't mind correcting me (just not be too rude about it)
many kept praising actor luffy like he's the embodiment of luffy, but me and my brothers just cringes and laughs at him, like he kinda looks creepy whenever he smiles. our younger brother even does the "i'm luffy and i'm going to be the king of the pirates" and make a creepy smile face while trying to sound like a gremlin or something cause that's just how he looked for us. also that one scene where he sits silently then all of the sudden screams was unintentionally funny. no hate on the actor himself, i do like some scenes around him, but idk him being goofy and fun sometimes just look weird. and i really like luffy with his dumb smile and just going with the flow attitude, i think it just didn't click with me in the live action.
i do like the set pieces, that ate. cgi is expected in live action (and probably why they also cut hachi, his tentacles would have been nightmare for them lol). action is okay, wish some parts lasted more. music is nice. camera, as said in this video, is sometimes weird (and going back to luffy, them zooming in on him while he smiles doesn't help his case). the whole show does feel grounded, but also the neatness does sometimes just make the whole show also feel like a play.
i still don't like nami's story being changed, partly cause i really feel like it his more when they revealed everyone knew, they are just keeping faces for nami. i feel like in nami's shoes, you would have preferred if they just hate you and that they don't have to carry your burden. like yes, you are doing it for them, but you're still hurting them and taking stuffs from them.. that's what i think carried nami's story for me.
i can maybe forgive removing usopp's crew (though i really like that aspect) and maybe i can move on with the removal of his nose (rip) but he really didn't feel like he did anything in his own story. i like that part about nami and kaya though, but wish usopp had more impact, especially in his own story. also kuro is an infamous pirate but we only see two crew members. i know they tried to condense the story, but still they could have gone something more with his crew. also rip django
i think i like sanji a lot more compared to anime. him being not too heart eyes in a sight of a woman all the times, but just him hitting on girls if he have the right opportunity was a good move. though rip swirly eyebrows anyways, i also wish they did more with the other chefs, especially when they had a small fight scene inside the baratie. i can maybe forgive them for removing most of the fight scenes (and the part where the baratie got really, really wrecked), but man those chefs made the whole baratie feel like a family despite the constant fighting. no problem with sanji and zeff backstory, i feel like that was really good adaptation.
I feel the Syrup Village changes did Usopp dirty. They purely show him as the 'boy who cries wolf', whereas we know that his lies have always been his entire way of life, which also shows in terms of how he protects himself against the world by having 'thousands of followers' courtesy of tons of flags rigged up at the top of a hill.
Most actors were cast well. I think the weakest cast that can probably be excused because he's the most important person ever to be perpetually in the background, is Ben Beckman. That actor just looked like he didn't belong. I'm personally also unhappy with Bellemere's cast: she was a tough marine with partially shaved head and other tough vibes, and instead we got a full-on soccer mom, even in the war flashback when she was still enlisted. I understand that we have to cut out plots, but I have seen some people complain about the obvious logic of her mattering more to them alive than dead.. but in the manga, the people around her didn't think she could be a good mother to begin with, so she felt she had something to prove.
The Nojiko casting also felt off to me; they never quite felt like sisters to me. Yes, there is the obvious skin tone thing some people get hung up on, but it is more her entire 'build' that felt off to me. Perhaps the most identifying aspect of the two sisters is that they have very similar faces in the manga with especially gorgeous smiles. You can feel the similarity in their personalities through that and that they were raised as sisters with similar outlooks on life. But in OPLA, Nojiko is almost permanently frowning in a different 'flavor' than Nami would tend to frown, and same goes for other emotions which I don't quite feel were able to match. (For example, has anyone noticed how much post-TS Nami's attitude seems to match Nojiko's more casual and playful self-confidence? It's almost like she's a few years younger than her older sister...)
Garp B-plot was indeed the mixed bag you make it out to be. The board game scene was an utter waste of time, for example. It also felt awkward that he'd single those two out as much as he did long before he decided to offer them training. But the Zeff scene was amazing, with the caveat that I feel the entire 'Luffy resembles Roger' thing was pushed down our throats a little bit too much.
Nami's arcs changes are ones that annoyed me immensely too. The key issue is that Nami's real treasure is the villagers, and the despair that makes her seek Luffy's help follows from those villagers deciding to march to their deaths. Having her break down like that over money she could regather in a couple of years is not doing the tough nut that is Nami justice... and yet that event is only paid lip-service to afterwards.
Great video!
In the Anime they all race towards the beach to stop the pirate invasion, and by pure accident Usopp winds up holding off the invasion by himself - but he doesn't run away. In LA? No invasion, Marines show up. Coby rug-pulled Usopp's first step towards being a hero.
Luffy resembling Roger is something that shouldn't start until Logue Town in the bar and scafold. Why is he stealing thunder from Sanji's time?
Jin? JIN? It's GIN not JIN!!!!!
Not Mega biased Koroto 😂
I AM NEVER BIASED TOWARD ANYTHING, I AM THE MOST CRITICALLY OBJECTIVE PERSON THAT HAS EVER WALKED THE EARTH 🗿🗿🗿🗿🗿
Im happy that people is enjoying the show
But I must say that I watched the first season in company and it helped to enjoy the season. but the second time I saw it I only hada few more problems and I really wanted to see the anime or read the manga. In general I liked the straw hats and the villains. But the secondary ones, although they seemed good to me, lacked a lot and I wouldn't highlight any of them. Also with the most emotional moments they seemed good to me but I would only highlight some moments
Honestly, I have never liked that idea of animation in an adaptation to the real world.
so if they release the second season I'm going to watch it, but it's not something I'm looking forward to
One of the biggest issues I have with the Live-Action Version is Zoro.
I still like him, but it is like they have taken every touch of happiness from him.
Yes, he was always a more serious character, but he also took part in a lot of goofy stuff.
Now he just a bland, try hard "badass" without emotion.
Nothing happened...
Usopp is awful int he manga, so him being less used int he live action is a godsend. No need to have watchers routing for the deathss of who are meant to be the heroes like the manga.
Jango was sorely missed, they made all this big deal about Morgan defeating the Black Cat Pirates (it gets repeated multiple times) and yet no one explained why the story is inconsistent.
I REALLY wanted to see Kuro crush Morgan's jaw 😢
I mean...those are the only (very) thin threads that connect some of the east blue villains and you deliberately ignore them?
(Tbf it didn't have to be Jango,they could have made Buchi or Sham the hypnotist,i just wanted Usopp to get a win against someone in his arc)
I also didnt like how they handled Cocoyashi's villagers, its such a good scene when Nami is STILL trying to keep a tough front and telling them she just has to get the money again, the rest of that scene as well.
It also felt...kinda out of nowere that Arlong would suddenly decide to burn the village, i guess its tied to that earlier speech about discarding humans once they're not useful anymore? Still kinda inconsistent imo.
Also out of all flashback nami is the one that gets trimmed? 😡
Where is my Bellemere torture scene? 😡😡
Those are my two biggest gripes about the series, the rest gets a 9/10 ❤
Without Jango, Morgan doesn't have a promotion for catching Kuro, and Kuro's plan to hypnotize Kaya into writing the will doesn't work. No one cares or remembers about the East Blue connecting with Grand Line events - but if they're this sloppy in the Grand Line people will start to notice the LA just isn't world building as well.
This show looks like a fan made edit
This show was just too goofy for me. I know it's supposed to be, but it's not to my taste. Like why is it some characters are anthropomorphic animals while others are like hybrids but literally just look like they've stuck a kids animal costume on rather than half human half animal with cosmetics and CGI?
No it wasnt
I only had two real problems. The first is that I wasn’t a fan of Zoro. He felt very boring from start to finish. And the death scene of Bellemere is not as tragic, dark and painful as it was on the anime, but still much better as it was on the reanimated version.
That’s mainly because u are already familiar with the story and was expecting to tear up/straight up cry like u probably did watching the anime. I didn’t cry. I didn’t even tear up. But I couldn’t deny that the scenes were sad enough that if i had zero knowledge of the plot, I would be weeping like… a lot. Try watching people on TH-cam who aren’t familiar with the source material react to the live action, and you’ll see what i mean.
@@blessingpearls4805People who react online always overreact... I can rewatch a scene and feel just as sad, if not more sad than my first viewing. LA missed most of the key peaks.
So. I just started the anime, i put it off for a long time because the art style bugged me. I watched 45 episodes and am in love with this world and am looking forward to the 1000s of episodes ahead.
.. i am absolutely not a fan of the live action adaptation and have NO clue what people are enjoying about it. The characters aren't the characters. Some of them to a wildly underwhelming degree. Luffy doesn't have the right energy, Zoro is too stoic, Nami is dull, Usopp is difficult in the anime and almost unbearable in live action. So far Alvida, Axe Hand, Buggy, Kuro, and even Arlong to an extent have been boring husks. I don't see how this broke the curse and renewed peoples trust in anime adaptations at all..
Assuming you're just 40-50 episodes in, I can't say much more than trust the process. The adaptation moved some of the characteristics a tad earlier (like Zoro's stoicism, for example).
It's definitely not perfect, mostly due to how ridiculously rushed it was, but I think they captured the essence of the characters almost perfectly (at least from the perspective of knowing where the story goes from here).
@@KorotoI will say that once I got to the 5th episode the rest was much better, but there were several things I still prefer in the anime. I'd be lying if I said from 5-8 there weren't several scenes that had me teary eyed and appreciating some of what they'd done. It's an interesting take and I am interested to see what they do with the next season. Oh and.. good Lord I loved Mihawk! Perfection. Ultimately I wish they'd not done the Garp storyline entirely to focus on the crew and their adventures that way things wouldn't have to be so breakneck. And the fact Nami's village didn't know really ticked me off.
Please no, I don’t want anymore good animes ruined because of this one success. RIP AoT, Cowboy Bebop, Death Note, Ghost in the Shell, (keep it going..)
Personally, I had difficulty watching it and decided to stop after the first episode when I noticed Zoro's sword sheaths bending on the ground. My primary concern was that it wasn't like the anime one bit. However, after watching your video, I might revisit it at some point with adjusted expectations.
I feel so bad for saying this, but I just wasn't a fan of Emily and Mackenyu's performances. They both seemed too blank faced to me a lot of the time. I'm not a diehard OP fan either. I've read some of the manga and never watched the anime. But it just seemed like the LA interpretation of Nami and Zoro's characters were very Marvel-esque. Caricatures of "tough, action hero" characters. And not true enough to what I have seen from their characters so far in the manga.
Nami in the source material is often called a cat burglar. She is often playful and smiling. She even gets the playfulness "maybe I can pay with my body?" from Bellemere. She is manipulative because she seems nice and approachable but then saddles a poor idiot with owing her 3x the money he borrowed and does it all with a smile. In the LA Nami she's gruff...constantly feels annoyed to be around people.
Zoro as well could be quite comical in the source. When he goes all stoic, you know its serious time. When he's hunting minorities on Whiskey Peak he's having a grand fun time. There's not enough layers to him in LA
I’m not mixed at all about the Garp b plot. I’m very happy people forget the first time we meet him he’s falling asleep trying to break a record eating donuts… like… wtf? Horrible intro
No I doubt they' break the co-called curse,they already did changed source material and it means for Mr.oda that he did not like that either,he just put his addresses in few hours ago that he does not wanted to changed his manga material,he very unhappy with it and very disappointed.
Im still not completely sold on luffys actor, when he says some of luffys line its a bit cringe, maybe its just impossible to translate luffy perfectly but I can't watch people react to namis help me moment because of inaki saying "of course I will"
I agree, when he says he's gonna be the King of Pirates he has a little smirk like he just let out a fart and is waiting for people to notice. His acting for the role is spot on, but the line delivery....eh....it needs work.
My opinion may be unaligned with the community, but I really don’t like the live action. It just doesn’t feel like one piece to me. It feels forced and cringey. That’s not my crew I know and love.
Luffys actor is terrible and they ruined zoro why does he sound like that 😭
