    One Piece Series Description:
    One Piece (stylized in all caps) is a fantasy adventure streaming television series developed by Matt Owens and Steven Maeda for Netflix. The series is a live action adaptation of the ongoing 1997 Japanese manga series of the same name by Eiichiro Oda, who himself served as a major creative consultant for the series. It is produced by Kaji Productions, Tomorrow Studios and Shueisha (who also publish the manga). The series stars an ensemble cast including Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero Gibson, and Taz Skylar as the initial five members of the Straw Hat Pirates.
    The series premiered on August 31, 2023, and received positive reviews from both critics and fans who praised the performances, story, visual effects, and general faithfulness towards the characters and events from the source material. Several outlets labeled it as one of the best live-action anime adaptations.

    The actor playing the swordsman Zoro, is the son of legendary famous martial artist and actor, Sonny Chiba whom you may also remember from Kill Bill vol.1 as the man who gives Uma Thurman the sword she uses in the film. And yes it’s him doing his own fighting and most of the stunt work cause he trains in martial arts in real life as well like his father.

    I think the best way to explain what they did with this live action is that they kept the main whos, whats and wheres, but changed the hows and whys (in some cases). So, for example, Luffy still ended up on Alvida's ship and saved Coby, but HOW he did it had differences. It's a pretty clever way to adapt something - the main important parts of the story are kept intact, but there are enough changes to make it feel fresh to old fans and leave surprises for new fans to find when they dive into the manga/anime.

    so even after 1000+ chapter/episodes. there are no romance between the strawhats crew.
    and he also strictly prohibited Netflix to add romance between the crew in the Live Action.

    To answer your question: No, this is not an exact adaptation. It’s based off the manga, but there are a lot of smaller storylines that don’t really play much of a role, so they left those out, and I’m pretty happy about it. This series in general is one of the most inclusive anime/manga out there.
    All of the other things your mentioned; white hair, X scar, black arms, etc… That is all several seasons away, depending on how they do this. I’m on episode 1075. It’s commitment but it’s worth it.
    ANIME RECS
    Inuyasha (167 episodes, 26 episodes seconds series)
    Wolfs Rain (26 episodes, 4 OVAs)
    Zodiac Wars (12 episodes)

    Okay, something to note (not a spoiler) so when people eat a devil fruit, they gain the ability of the devil fruit (aka gum gum fruit makes luffy stretchy and chop chop fruit makes buggy able to cut his body parts) HOWEVER, they lose their ability to swim. Once you eat a devil fruit you can not lose its power, it’s completely permanent as well as their inability to swim (you can’t try to practice or anything, the water makes them somewhat paralyzed so they can’t even move- if they were a good swimmer before the devil fruit, they will lose the ability to swim). SO that means if someone has a ‘power’ and can swim- *it’s not a devil fruit*….(won’t say anymore because it’s a spoiler-) ALSO, IM GLAD YOUR WATCHING THIS YOULL LOVE IT ❤❤❤

    Your reactions to things like Luffy stretching and Buggy's head coming off are so fun!
    This show led me to give the anime another shot. (I only watched 125 episodes the first time I tried it.) As I watch the anime, I realize just how rich this live-action adaption is. They didn't have the time to feature certain characters and subplots-so instead, they hint at them. For example, the guy holding up the "applause" sign has a notable fight scene in the anime. They didn't include that scene in the live action, but they did include him and his memorable headgear.
    The scene they used to introduce Zoro? It's canon-ish, but from what I've heard, it takes place before the events of the anime, and it isn't portrayed on screen (or on the original manga's pages). It sounds like deeper lore.
    Then there's the way they handled the major plot lines... as a writer, I'm very impressed. They didn't simply condense 45 episodes into 8. It's more complex and skillful than that-and they drew from things beyond those 45 episodes, taking full advantage of that fact that the mangaka, Oda, has figured out and fleshed out things that he probably didn't have figured out back in 1997. Some plot points are exactly what's in the original. Others keep the essence of the original, but are majorly adapted (the Buggy fight is a significant example). And so on. I know Oda was very involved in this show's creation, and that helped. But still... wow.
    Babbling on about this stuff in reactors' comment section because I don't have enough people to talk about it with irl. And I'm babbling in this particular comment section because it makes me happy when a channel I already follow and enjoy covers the show I'm currently most excited about. ^_^

    To answer your question as to why he didn't just take Alvida's ship:
    Alvida broke the helm during the fight with Luffy and set the whole ship on fire.
    Last thing you want when on the open ocean is be on a burning ship with no way to steer it.
    Also, the crew isn't exactly loyal to Luffy. They'll probably go on mutiny even if they put out the fire anyway.

I woud say the live action is a solid 8.5/10 to me. Not bad at all. I liked it alot. I just hope they are able to capture the same feeling for season 2. I don't expect all the arcs to be covered, but as long as they give me something that respects the source material, i will be more willing to continue watching 😊

    Welcome Mello. Enjoy the greatest story ever told! I can't wait to see you experience all the One Piece greatness that made all of us fall in love with this beautiful story.
    This series was supervised by the creator of One Piece and that's the biggest difference from previous failures in live-action series. This show follows the story pretty close to the original, of course, there are some changes as they had to compress 50-60 episodes of the anime into 8 live-action episodes.
    As a One Piece fan since 2009, this show is great, the music is great, the performances of the actors get better and better, and even the changes that they made to compress the overwhelming amount of the content are working really well, you can instantly understand that this show was made with care and love.

    I've watched your reactions to this show multiple times already. But I just love how you're clearly enjoying this. Not for the sake of it being a live action adaption of something you already love, but from the show itself. You get so excited at parts, emotionally drawn in, and clearly invested. One Piece is so amazing.
    Not that I should be too surprised, besides being a long time One Piece lover myself, I've been watching your reactions for years, so I should have an idea about what to expect. You always give great reactions.

    As a fan of the anime since 2003, the casting was spot on! Inaki truly captured Luffy's spirit and really made it his own. The anime is already over a 1000 episodes long and struggles with pacing, we dont need a live action of that XD
    You can really tell the creators are fans of the anime because even though the story is so different from the original one, the story the live action brings is just refreshing new take on the same story. It truly feels like the same story but told from a different perspective. For example in episode 2 the mayor of the village (offers the breads) has way bigger part in anime. Same as the dog you can see at the end of ep 2 running midst of people, he has a heartbreaking story. Even tho their stories could not fit the live action, they are not removed from this story.

It’s not without its faults (especially some questionable narrative decisions made later in the season) but the actors all really nail their roles, and the production team killed it with the sets and costumes. I’m really stoked for season 2, and can’t wait to see what you think!

    This is a fantastic Live Action adaptation of anime which was made for fans by fans (which as a lot of Easter eggs) & the creator himself Eiichiro Oda who made the manga in 1997 & still growing strong to this day following the adventure of Luffy & his crew but it’s is not 1 to 1 to the source material (anime started in 1999), & here are a few facts (no spoilers)
    - The bird he is talking to are called News Coos which are birds that deliver mail or newspapers around the world
    - The snail you see are called Den Den Mushi / Transponder Snails which a telepathic snails that people use for communications
    - The giant sea serpent are called Sea Kings which are powerful creatures in this world & this one is called the Lord of the Coast
    - Devil Fruits are strange fruits that grant the user powers unique to only themselves with just one bite, but once bitten they will forever be cursed by the sea where they can no longer swim & any large body of water (around the level of you knee) will weaken them
    - Luffy ate the Gomu Gomu no mi (Gomu means rubber) / Gum-Gum Fruit while Buggy ate the Bara Bara no mi (Barabara is a Japanese onomatopoeia meaning disconnected) / Chop-Chop Fruit
    - Berries are this world’s currency which Oda based it on Yen which makes Berry = Yen = $

    Nobody knows what the One-Piece is, i like to think it's both a massive treasure and something exclusively there that you can share with your crew to enjoy and you all and the audience can look back on the adventure. Devil Fruits can come in various thing, theres 3 specific kinds but i won't say so you can experience it, but anything you can imagine a Devil Fruit can probably give you the powers to do it. But it takes away your ability to swim and sea water doesn't let you use them while you're submerged. The black stuff on his hands is something that comes later. And the snails are like psychic phones that psychicly communicate to other ones around the world since phones don't exist

    “I got a question for the fans, did y’all like his performance?”
    Yes. 100% yes. Iñaki Godoy might not look exactly like Luffy, but I doubt there’s any person on the planet who could more perfectly embody Luffy’s energy. 🙏
    “Did y’all like the dub?”
    It’s fine enough as long as you get the Funimation run instead of the 4Kids run. Not better than the subtitled version in most people’s opinion, but it works as it’s own production if you don’t have any attachment to the Japanese voice actors. The lady who’s been playing Luffy in Japanese for years and years is a whole riot and a half though. She’s clearly enjoying the show just as much as any of the fans. 😛
    “I’ve seen pics of Luffy and he had like, an X on his chest?”
    Yeah, it’s a scar he gets later. That’s spoiler territory though.
    Seeing Buggy for the first time, “Who is that? He looks familiar.”
    That’s Jeff Ward. He’s mostly been a spot actor in a bunch of different productions, but you may recognize him from his recurring role as Deke Shaw in Agents of SHIELD.
    “What’s with the big lipped snails and why does it have a metal jaw too?”
    That’s called a transponder snail. They’re telepathic snails that are basically this world’s version of telephones along with a few other devices we haven’t seen yet in this run. It has a metal jaw because each one takes on the features of its primary user.

I observed how the voice actor had to skillfully convey the nuances in his voice to capture the required emotion of the scene. The particular scene I spoke of was not the farewell boat scene but when they were stuck on the rock.
