That guy in the end is a marine captain and will be the last barrier before the straw hats enter the grand line. He followed them just like Garp did in this season.
I’ll throw my hat in for dub. Even just going through the East Blue arc, it’s 61 episodes. Sitting down for 1000+ episodes where you have to pay full attention to subs to the long winded way Shonens tell stories can wear you down. You can do the dishes or edit other videos while watching the dub. The dub voice actors are great too.
@@chapdoesstuff Yes, when you have great voice actors and a translation team with excellence I agree with you. But at least here in Brazil the translators have this mania to torn the meanings and add language maneirisms or different accents that destroys the original meaning or turn the characters silly. Imagine in US pointview you put a character with strong county accent. So, here in Brazil we strognly recommend you watch movies, series or animes with original audio with subs.
please for the love of god don’t watch anything other than the sub the voice actors are just amazing, also maybe consider watching “one pace” a edited version of the show that cuts down a lot of drawn out moments without actually removing any scenes
Mihawk's rivalry/friendship with Shanks was the reason he recognized the straw hat, and his interest in how the boy that Shanks bet his arm on will turn out.
Only real OP fans know this lol. But yeah its nice that were getting a brauder audience into this franchise and im happy the LA is doing so well. S2 does need to dramatically increase its set piece scale however, if its going to be sucessful. Arabasta in paticular is quite a great deal more large in scope then these smaller arcs.
@@Mr9TalesFoxRobin is a savage lol been getting back into the anime, just past the 600 episode mark. Seen Robin use blossom on a centaur and twisted his entire spine and neck lmao. Like damn Robin overkill much?
There are two things in the manga that prevent Zoro from steamrolling every encounter the crew has - regularly being injured from previous battles. - getting there late - like many powerful anime fighters, he has infamously bad sense of direction (you can see some signs in the previous episodes. Oda once joked, that Zoro should have died some time ago, but his soul can't find the way to the afterlife.)
@@Shadow1Yaz He also said that if the straw hats had a foot race then it would have to be no longer than 50 meters, because if it were any longer than that Zoro would lose because he would get lost before he could reach the finish line.
Omni seeing the end tease: THAT MEANS NOTHING TO ME!!! People who watch One Piece: THAT MEANS EVERYTHING TO US!!! Watching people that have never experienced One Piece do it for the first time with the live action has been amazing, thank you for the videos, and I hope you enjoy the journey if you start the anime!!
Koby says Helmeppo's name once in episode 4 right at the end (when he threatens to shoot Luffy), but you're right, they literally only say it once in the whole show.
Thanks, I was about to rewatch every episode just to make sure they said his name. I watched it with sub on, so i often see Helmeppo in text but not really sure if it was mentioned.
@@jagy__I knew it was mentioned once at least, because another reaction channel that knew his name without any knowledge of One Piece were the Cinepals channel, so it had to have been mentioned, but I was indeed also going to rewatch it (I'm still going to xD) and try to pinpoint exactly when xD.
@@djfusionkotb I've been watching a bunch of OPLA reaction videos and a good number of them call Helmeppo "Berries and cream" and Koby "Harry Potter" which I find hilarious.
One thing not many people realise... Garp loves Luffy, it's his dear grandkid. Garp did see a lot of things on his life. He knows Luffy's dreams, will and determination. He knows Luffy has what it takes. But Garp is the one who executed the Pirate King. He knows what is at the end of that journey. He wished for Luffy to become a marine so that future never happens. But when he realised Luffy won't ever back off (backed by Koby's words), he decided to go after Luffy all out. If Luffy can survive his pursuit and overcome that, then hopefully he is strong enough to survive as a pirate longer.
I would also like to add that the encounter with Garp could be a set up of how Luffy will want/need to get stronger in the future arcs, since his enemies wont get weaker
Well he did execute the King of the Pirates, so his grandson wanting to become the next one... Then again, he did say he always knew what Luffy was, so all this, from episode 1 was just a test of Luffy's resolve and ability.
Keep in mind, that all of this season was shot during Covid. Hopefully with the success of the show and with no Covid restrictions going forward, future seasons can be even greater in scope and quality
@andycooper6085 Fire all them woke writers. No one cares. Rather them find a starving writing looking to make great content. What we have now is entitled overpaid writers making shit content.
@@andycooper6085 hopefully the resolution will be in favor of those writers. they get paid more for their job, so more motivation and higher quality writing. then we will get a new season with as much quality like the first if not better.
i dont think covid affect quality too much, but it certainly delay the production that causes it to stretch to 3 years production despite the showrunner and director said they had no problem with funding or other approval stuff. so hopefully for next season we wont have to wait as long as 3 years
The way they made you fall in love with these actors, not just the characters, in 8 episodes was truly amazing. I was not expecting to cry in a single episode...let alone 5
Agreed! The writing of each episode, each one gradually introducing elements of the OP world was well done. By episode 8, the interested casual viewer is accepting of similar but very different world (the mix of modern and old, unusual land formations in the ocean, a world of vast oceanic expanses), power granting fruits (Luffy and Buggy), animal-people (Merry, Arlong and crew), possibilities of supernatural powers (Shanks influencing the sea monster, Kuro's super speed, Garp's strength). It prepares the viewer for the more...imaginative elements in following arcs. All with actors who make the characters fun, relatable and a really fun show to watch!
Actually one main reason zoro and sanji argue is because they have very different characters. As you know sanji treats women with special respect and never hits them, while zoro believes that there is no difference between men and women and does not underestimate them. As in his backstory, he had made a promise with her friend who was a girl, that one of them would become the greatest
@@snoop_kantzo " zoro believes that there is no difference between men and women" not entirely true, Zoro can hit a woman and will if he need, but he also dont like to fight or hurt woman, to a lesser degree than Sanji, but just see in the fight against Monet, where Monet realizes that he is avoiding a serious fight and only after she hurts Tashigui a lot, Zoro attacks seriously and says that there are things he prefers not cut, but you can't provoke a wild animal and think it won't attack at some point. Another example is that when Enel electrocutes Robin, Zoro becomes enraged and screams in rage, SHE IS A WOMAN Luffy is the one who really dont give a shit and punch womn face anytime no problem if she provokes him
easily identifiable that mihawk respect shanks. since mihawk was introduced, he looked down on almost everyone he talked to except shanks lol. he couldnt even say no when asked to drink.
Yeah! You can tell that the crew respected the manga. Like sometimes an adaptation is annoyed or embarrassed by its source but not here. Gumo Gum Axe? Yes, that’s happening!
@@Shadow1Yaz 100%, yes! So many live-action manga/anime adaptations seem embarrassed by how wacky they source material is; these guys embraced it---Garp chucking a cannonball with more force than an actual cannon? Why the hell not? Mihawk using a pocket knife to school Zoro? Let's go for it! This show had no shame, and that's what we need more of! And you can tell, the whole crew had a blast with this and are genuine fans of Oda's work.
I’ve never heard Helmeppos name either… but it’s hilarious that everyone’s renamed him berries and cream, or Bad Haircut. It suits him so well I might forget his real name on purpose!
Fun fact: around the scene where they gather around to state their dreams a rendition of the anime’s 1st opening starts playing ❤ It was such a cool and nostalgic scene, especially for us anime watchers 🥰
@@markauditor7873 Not to imply you shouldnt support Netflix, but it's already the most popular show ever to be on Netflix. There's ZERO chance they dont throw money at Season 2.
@@markauditor7873 That is why I resubbed to Netflix instead of pirate the show. As funny as it would be the pirate the pirate show, I resubscribed within hours of OP live action going live, just so it gets added in their internal numbers for how the show did.
i think helmeppo’s name is mentioned literally once 😂 but you’re right even in the subtitles he’s called “cadet” which is honestly the respect he deserves.
Would have been a nice touch to change his subtitle after Garp sees him and Koby bond at the end here, symbolic of his recognition. Not sure how many more lines he had after "with my friend", but I'd include it moving forward. It's clear that Meppo wants the Straw Hat's recognition, particularly Zoro and Luffy, so having his subs read Helmeppo when he's on the battleship, and Haircut when he's with the crew until presumably season 12 would be a clever way to reference this
I love how everyone that finishes this says they want to watch the anime. One Piece is making a huge wave a new fans! I’m loving it! I want everyone to experience this masterpiece like I did! Welcome to the One Piece fan base!! 👏🏽
I know right! It’s so beautiful and emotional. I’ve watched OPLA now twice and on the second watch through I heard snippets of the song all over the show in impactful scenes. Got tears in my eyes every time.
There are two musical call backs from the anime. One is in an early episode with Shanks, and the other one is the final song. It's a version of the first opening, and its an absolute bop.
They also played a bit of "We Are" at the end of episode 4 - the first time they set sail on the Going Merry. I thought it was a great place to put it.
I just want to see this recreated with a faceless little girl in a raincoat joining in and stating her dream. [SPOILERS AHEAD] (Though I try to keep it vague) I always assumed it was where Oda was leading with it to close the montage,, until he didn't. Loved the scene, but instead of a greatest hits, I'd cut to a promise, then a journey scene that shows the crew's potential and her faith in them, then another promise or two, and repeat. Close with hers, then cut to scenes of the crew taking care of her. As much of a "farewell" as it should be a "you'll be okay" and an "I lived my dream". We end in present day, the crew tearfully thanking her, her apologising, the scene we got in the original, the audience a wreck, y'know the usual. I just want her there, even if she's not yet strong enough to manifest, she was present and she was a committed as any other crewmate. As it stands, we don't actually know where she committed herself to the crew, but this would be been so perfect to me
@@mobbs6426 don't think it would make sense to suddenly reveal that character at this point in the live action since the build up and characterization isn't there. i do hope they show the character eventually tho, especially if they get to water 7
The only problem with this scene is that it occurs before Loguetown and before Usopp's interaction with Daddy the Father. Without that interaction, Usopp's dream doesn't make that much sense or have as much of an impact as the other Straw Hats
Honestly, for me the live action hit harder than the anime, not as hard as the manga though. I just can’t with all the extended fighting in the anime. It cuts the flow of the story and bores me to sleep. I actually struggled staying awake for the anime whenever fighting took more than an episode or two. I originally binged it in batches with a friend and had to start reading the manga (best choice ever) along our watch through so I wouldn’t miss anything important while snoozing during the fight episodes. 😂
@@WednesdayOrFriday obviously anime stretches the scenes and its really bad they are doing it manga is lit tho. Now that I am caught up with manga and anime its fun watching it for the animation
Keep in mind how hard something hits will depend on the person. Some people will get more easily attached to a real person acting than a drawn character.
One thing I felt with the live action is that it feels a little bit watered down and yeah that makes sense cuz they tried to cramp like 40 episodes into 8. The crew didn't feel as fleshed out as it was in the anime.
Oh Man! Greg from Reel Rejects recommended your channel and I'm so glad for that! Such an amazing review from someone who never watched the anime. You completely understood the core and the heart of this story and each and every character. I'm so happy for you to be watching the anime soon, and diving into more of One Piece's world-building and arcs. I hope you watch it in subs, One Piece's VAs are one of the best that this generation has to offer (they also dubbed the live-action in Japanese, which shows their passion for the series). I'm excited for you to journey into this more.
Oh thank you!!! That’s awesome! I tried my best but this honestly made it really easy to follow along with everything for someone new! I haven’t stopped thinking about the show but I’ve been out of town for an X files thing! When I get a chance I’ll be picking it up after I’ve caught up on everything! I’m leaning Sub right now for the anime journey!
The live action did great at covering the first 45 episodes and a few of the moments covering Coby and Helmeppo's character development under Garp, which happened further in the anime.
From all the reactors I've seen so far, you are one of the few with the best grip on what OP is trying to convey with it's story. Really glad you enjoyed it! The Nami-Luffy scene is literally what made most OP fans, fans for life! And if you wonder wether you should go for the long journey of watching 1000+ episodes of an anime and wonder, who will be there to watch along - We are.
I'm really glad that the live action has inspired you to watch the anime! I've been a long time fan of OP, and I honestly would give anything to experience the story from the start afresh, as if a brand new viewer like yourself. I hope the journey is as fantastically silly and heartbreaking if/when you do dip your feet into its world and community.
From a long time One Piece fan.... the Barrel scene was the one that made me tear up, so many memories, so many GREAT memories with this Crew... our crew. Nakamas!
One Piece is one of the rare shounen that draws out these emotions. And even with HYPE, when Luffy finally shows up to any final battle, it’s always peak HYPE.
I love how many times you've got emotional. That just proves that the live-action adaptation achieved the same as the manga/anime. But even more so, it got you hooked to start watching the anime and that's what the purpose was. I'm so happy!!! As a One Piece fan for the past 19 years: Welcome to the club!
Glad you're gonna be watching the anime. I know based on your reactions here that you're gonna fall head over heels in love with it. I'd honestly recommend watching the sub. Some of the voices of crewmates to come are truly terrible in the dub. Also NEVER read the episode titles before watching the episode. At LEAST until you get to the 500s
I cried with you at the barrel scene. Japanese voices with english subs are always the way to go for the anime! 😊 im so here for you reacting to One Piece anime too! Hope you enjoy it!!
SUB!!! The voices are just way better in their original voices 😭 You’re going to love this anime. You have no idea how good this is gonna get. I’ll be there with you on this journey!
As a big fan of the anime I really loved how they brought garp in earlier. Also I think the live action did syrup village better then the anime. To me the changes made improved the pacing of those first 40 or so episodes of the anime.
Yeah, I think they did every arc better than the anime/manga except Arlong park. I still give it an 8/10 even tho I really hate how they handled Arlong Park which is the most important arc in the eastblue saga. Everything feels rushed and Luffy vs Arlong is super underwhelming. Maybe those prosthetics makes him harder to move because it's just Luffy punching Arlong and Arlong punching him back.
I preferred the character journeys for Arlong Park in the manga/anime. I wish they kept the thing about Coco Village actually knowing about Nami's plan, but I understand why they changed it. It still works. Agree about Syrup Village! The anime was funnier, but the haunted house/slasher theme of the live action was so much fun. I wish they gave Usopp more to do in his own intro arc, though.
As a long time fan, of almost 2 decades, I enjoyed watching non-fans have a blast with the LA and morph into fans right before my eyes. Great reactions, thoughtful reviews, good job! Can’t wait for you to keep enjoying OP. P.S sub is great for the emotional parts. Nami’s “Help me” scene in Japanese gives me chills and brings me to tears every time!
Glad they nailed the constant bickering between Zoro and Sanji without making it too childish in live action lol Also, subbed for the the anime reaction cuz the live action journey with you has been fun! 😁
Thank you very much for your awesome reaction! I cried when u cried at 23:10 when they spoke their dreams! The live action was amazing, it captured the anime vibes perfectly. 23:03 - The song that plays after they've said their dreams is the very first original one piece song that came out in 1999, and the whole fandom loves it! It's sort of an anthem for the community: We Are That tease at the end would have been episode 9 and 10 were it not for budget constraints. I hope you begin the anime too, we will definitely be with you on your anime journey! Maybe like 3 episodes per day would be good, that will be 60 minutes. You can begin from episode 44 to get in flow with the anime status and character personalities that differ a little bit in live action so it wont have been cringe. 44-47 might feel slow-ish to you since after the stressful Arlong Park they gave us breathing room. After that it sky rockets. You're right, both Shanks and Mihawk were there at Roger's execution. If u begin anime I cant wait for u to discover the connection!
Trust me and watch the subbed version, every single scene hits way harder and the dubbed version just sounds like a bunch of people mocking the characters. Also the anime is just incredible, I've heard of people who get hooked to the story after just three episodes even though it's so long.
The way youu teared up with the barrel scene almost had me tearing up because- That's the shit! The love and attachment we have for these characters and their dreams! It's fricking beautiful. I'm really happy you're giving the anime a chance after this, based on how much you enjoyed this, you won't regret it.
Oh man, i have watched all your mandalorian reactions and sonce you are a star wars guru and i have been a one piece fan since 1999 (i'm 40 btw), i would give my life to erase my memory and watch the scene with nami knifing down her tatoo and luffy stopping her, known as the legendary THE WALK TO ARLONG PARK, as well seeing skypiea arc as well Nico Robin rescue at Ennies lobby. PLEASE WATCH IT IN ORIGINAL DUB, these voice actors have been 25 years the same and have given their life idenity to each character.
The barrel scene is ICONIC! I'm so proud of everyone involved ...they put their hearts into this production. And I'm so happy Oda was involved as much as was. I am SO freaking excited for you to start the anime...NAKAMA! Grand Line, here we come!
That barrel scene got me ... seeing the younger actors ... tears! Usopp never has been my favorite character but I think here is the first time I realized. Everyones dream is external ... some distant goal they want to reach. Usopps journey is internal he wants to be brave and that cut back to his mom really had me sobbing. Those two seconds really rung his backstory home, better than they did in "his" episode. Damn kudos to this series! Now we have to wait for season 2 😢😢😢
Loved your thoughts on this season!! Very appreciative of the fact that you’ve taken the time to breakdown and expand on your thoughts on each episode. So excited to know that you’re planning to start the OP anime journey. Welcome to the crew!!
This is so incredible. To see new fans come into this franchise because of this live action. It just goes to show you how sucessful this LA is. I can't wait for you to dive into oda's world and characters. It goes far beyond anything you can imagine.
If even just you has watched the live action and are now deciding to go check out the main series, I can safely say the live action did its job. A very well done show by itself, but still giving people the push to even think about starting the journey that they've avoided so far because of the length. Even if reactions don't come, I hope you enjoy the anime!
If you are watching the anime you have to watch with the real audio! the japanese voice actor for one piece are in-cre-di-ble! I'm really happy to follow your journey with One Piece!!
I just want to say, your reactions have been an absolute delight. You have such smart and heartfelt insight into the nuances of the characters and it's been so sweet and nostalgic to watch you a new fan get invested in their stories! I've felt unable to genuinely recommend One Piece to new people for a long time because the length is so intimidating, and I'm enormously grateful that this adaptation has been an entry point for you and others. Thanks for sharing your journey into this season, and I hope you will enjoy the anime as well!!
as a One Piece fan i am glad you enjoyed it. you can always watch the anime or read the manga until the point where the live action stopped and then you can see if you want to wait until season 2 or keep going, also personal opinion; i don't like the dub, the sub is better
I used to read the manga but could never get into the anime, when i watched the live action I immediately went to watch the anime, it really got me to kick-start watching it
@@kadegetslaid634I have to admit that the East Blue arc in the anime wasn't done really well, but I feel like Nami's story was a turning point, most of people got invested after that.
I knew this reaction was gonna be goated when I saw you pull out the hat. The barrel scene at the end was literal perfection. They delivered those lines with so much confidence and sincerity that you really believe that their dreams will come true. I loved this series so much because it communicated the things that really make the themes in One Piece so universal. It's a story about dreamers. It's about staying true to yourself in a world that continually wants to change you and encouraging others to do the same. It's a story about friendship, freedom, conviction, and resolve all wrapped up in this fantastical world filled with silly pirates and special powers.
As a One Piece fan standpoint: Sub is def way to go. Legendary voice actors bringing the anime to another level. And the emotions those VA's bring is just incredible. Dub has great VA's too, but it really ain't the same. As an content creator standpoint (you ofc): Sub 99% of the time brings more views/watchtime than dub. One Piece def has a great dub, but One Piece always had one of the best japanese voice actors in any anime for over 2 decades.
You're right about them pulling off what was meant to be portrayed here. If you love the live action, then you're a One Piece fan just as much as we are! 😄
If you're still debating sub vs dub, let me make it easy: go with the sub. The Japanese voice actors are on another level. People don't just like them; they swear by them. A scene that might barely move you in the dub can bring you to tears in the sub. Given how emotionally invested you get while watching, you'd be missing out big time by going with the dub. And also honestly, subbed videos pull more views. Go sub, you won't regret it and will be praising the VA's all the way through, I'm saying that passionately because I know it's the best way to enjoy One piece, I started the anime watching dub and realize my mistake once I made the switch and went back to watch everything in sub and it was a totally different experience in term of emotions and humor
i compared them both and luffy's voice was just too grating in English 😆 also fun fact but the Japanese dub of OPLA used the original anime cast! and there are some interesting little changes in the script too, like Zoro saying "you got a problem with that, Pirate King?" when swearing himself to Luffy, which is what he says in the anime when he's saying he won't lose again
This was made as an introduction to make non-anime watchers to really watch the anime and the hope of reading it since the live action was more based on the actual manga. Enjoy the One Piece journey! Sending virtual support 💌
They did such good job with the show I really hope we can get more seasons I want to see chopper and Robin and I really want to see the skypia arc be adapted
This live action was absolutely insane for one of the hardest Anime to adapt into real life but I noticed something that was out of character for Luffy to say at 9:49 “maybe I can’t beat you”. It’s true Arlong is strong but Luffy always believes he can take anyone on especially in the East Blue saga as a rookie
imho good they nerfed luffy. in anime he steamrolled east blue and any problem with enemies was caused by himself (i.e. he stuck somwhere for a while so crew can do at least something) this make him more alive. he start to think about become stroonger and responsible much early and so get some growth
It's so good watching your reactions and discussion on this show man. Garp is a beast, there's a reason they call him the hero of the marines. He could've been fleet admiral (2 ranks above his current vice admiral rank) which is the literally the head of whole navy. Hope you'll enjoy the anime too, thanks!
@2:45 just a clarification. It's not grandline's map, but it's a map to the entrance of the grand line from anywhere in the east blue and a little bit more, but most of the GRANDLINE is uncharted territory for general average pirate or a Marine.
@@markauditor7873New World is more dangerous and complicated needing modified log pose. But log poses are still needed to navigate the Paradise and so the locations are not known but the names of the islands in each path are known to few. But top Marines mostly have eternal pose so they can go through calm belt to any place inside and outside Grandline.
As an emotional show, voice acting is extremely important so I got sub better for the anime. Serious Luffy also sounds a little morer respectable in the original. The Live Action got the essence of One Piece on point.
The dude with the cigars in the end teaser? The one you didn't recognize? He's in the execution scene in the first episode. Teenaged kid with poofy blond hair. Camera focuses on him for a second as the crowd runs out to all be pirates.
It’s going to be so interesting watching you experience the anime now having seen the show. So much is different, can’t wait to hear your thoughts when going through it
having subs in a small box to read is actually handy as a viewer since most reactors will occasionally cover the anime to save fair use time while still providing context to the viewer. but as you said, it would be easier for you to listen rather than read! a loooot of people will be complaining about the dub in the comments tho 😅 however, the sub is so good that they had the original voice actors dub over the live action, which goes to show how much people love them
Welcome to the crew!! Can’t wait to watch your reactions to the ANIME 🤩 I prefer watching anime SUB, but you can decide ofcourse what suits you best. But SUB version has that extra punch and weight in each lines.
On the sub vs dub debate, I just want to say that some of us dont speak english as our first language, so having those subtitles actually helps (even if they are small)
Please watch the anime with subs, the original VA's are living legends and the emotions they put on these characters are incredible, I did some comparaisons too and I didn't felt on any languages the emotions I feel when I hear certain scenes with the original voices
As someone who caught up to the anime recently I gotta say…..seeing the barrel scene again where they all state their dreams got me….it’s such a damn good journey and I can’t wait for you to experience the anime. You won’t regret it :)
I’m so glad that we could go through this together, I’m so excited for you to see the anime, i will admit that it’s a bit slow to begin with but it’s just so good as it keeps going
The guy with the cigars with Luffy's bounty is a Marine Captain, The White Hunter, Smoker. The strongest marine in the East Blue, and the protector of Lougetown. The island where Gold Roger, The King of The Pirates was both born and executed.
if this helps, i've noticed that a lot of one piece reactors use the sub version and crop to show only the subtitles so that the viewers know what part you're watching without needing to see or hear it as often. they usually flip and put a filter or something over the rest of the video and make it disappear more often than not so not to get struck down by toei. In the end, do whatever works for you! OP fans will show up either way lol

That guy in the end is a marine captain and will be the last barrier before the straw hats enter the grand line. He followed them just like Garp did in this season.
I’ll throw my hat in for dub. Even just going through the East Blue arc, it’s 61 episodes. Sitting down for 1000+ episodes where you have to pay full attention to subs to the long winded way Shonens tell stories can wear you down. You can do the dishes or edit other videos while watching the dub. The dub voice actors are great too.
@@chapdoesstuff Yes, when you have great voice actors and a translation team with excellence I agree with you.

Its always fun to watch people fall in love with One Piece
I love it just as much as One Piece itself lol
Same
you said it! :)
People always get fooled by the goddy artsyle and characters when One Piece is much more than that.
True. Very true
Mihawk's rivalry/friendship with Shanks was the reason he recognized the straw hat, and his interest in how the boy that Shanks bet his arm on will turn out.
Not gonna spoil, but do you think Mihawk knew about the... Previous owner?
It's stated by Oda that Luffy doesn't like to kill. He'd much rather leave his enemies to see all their evil dreams shatter in front of them.
Only real OP fans know this lol. But yeah its nice that were getting a brauder audience into this franchise and im happy the LA is doing so well. S2 does need to dramatically increase its set piece scale however, if its going to be sucessful. Arabasta in paticular is quite a great deal more large in scope then these smaller arcs.
Meanwhile Zoro and Robin, oh boy her we go killing again.
Oh damn I like that
@@Mr9TalesFoxRobin is a savage lol been getting back into the anime, just past the 600 episode mark. Seen Robin use blossom on a centaur and twisted his entire spine and neck lmao. Like damn Robin overkill much?
There are two things in the manga that prevent Zoro from steamrolling every encounter the crew has
- regularly being injured from previous battles.
- getting there late - like many powerful anime fighters, he has infamously bad sense of direction (you can see some signs in the previous episodes. Oda once joked, that Zoro should have died some time ago, but his soul can't find the way to the afterlife.)
Holy shit Oda!! Brutal!!
I will now forever describe my sense of direction thusly.
he even lost to another verse. so very zoro
@@Shadow1Yaz He also said that if the straw hats had a foot race then it would have to be no longer than 50 meters, because if it were any longer than that Zoro would lose because he would get lost before he could reach the finish line.
We all know zoro will fin the one peace one night at 3am trying to find the bathroom
@@HardcoreLevelingBaka I need a comic of this badly
Omni seeing the end tease: THAT MEANS NOTHING TO ME!!!
People who watch One Piece: THAT MEANS EVERYTHING TO US!!!
Watching people that have never experienced One Piece do it for the first time with the live action has been amazing, thank you for the videos, and I hope you enjoy the journey if you start the anime!!
With Omni's prediction accuracy, I half expected, "Who was that supposed to be?.. Obviously he's a smoker."
I almost fell out of my chair when I first saw the ending tease.
Pretty sure we got a glimpse of him in the first episode, too!
@@mobbs6426 Task failed succesfully.
Early on Smoker is the one marine Luffy would run away from. But for a different reason...
Koby says Helmeppo's name once in episode 4 right at the end (when he threatens to shoot Luffy), but you're right, they literally only say it once in the whole show.
Thanks, I was about to rewatch every episode just to make sure they said his name. I watched it with sub on, so i often see Helmeppo in text but not really sure if it was mentioned.
@@jagy__I knew it was mentioned once at least, because another reaction channel that knew his name without any knowledge of One Piece were the Cinepals channel, so it had to have been mentioned, but I was indeed also going to rewatch it (I'm still going to xD) and try to pinpoint exactly when xD.
Berries and Cream is better fitting IMO
@@djfusionkotb I've been watching a bunch of OPLA reaction videos and a good number of them call Helmeppo "Berries and cream" and Koby "Harry Potter" which I find hilarious.
One thing not many people realise... Garp loves Luffy, it's his dear grandkid. Garp did see a lot of things on his life. He knows Luffy's dreams, will and determination. He knows Luffy has what it takes. But Garp is the one who executed the Pirate King. He knows what is at the end of that journey. He wished for Luffy to become a marine so that future never happens. But when he realised Luffy won't ever back off (backed by Koby's words), he decided to go after Luffy all out. If Luffy can survive his pursuit and overcome that, then hopefully he is strong enough to survive as a pirate longer.
I would also like to add that the encounter with Garp could be a set up of how Luffy will want/need to get stronger in the future arcs, since his enemies wont get weaker
I think Garp was both testing Luffy and struggling to come to terms that he can't make him stay in a safe place anymore.
Well he did execute the King of the Pirates, so his grandson wanting to become the next one...
Then again, he did say he always knew what Luffy was, so all this, from episode 1 was just a test of Luffy's resolve and ability.
Keep in mind, that all of this season was shot during Covid.
Hopefully with the success of the show and with no Covid restrictions going forward, future seasons can be even greater in scope and quality
But now there's the writers' strike
@@GabrieleZecchini02 That's a good thing though, much better than having shows made with writers underpaid, stressed and poorly motivated.
@andycooper6085 Fire all them woke writers. No one cares. Rather them find a starving writing looking to make great content. What we have now is entitled overpaid writers making shit content.
@@andycooper6085 hopefully the resolution will be in favor of those writers. they get paid more for their job, so more motivation and higher quality writing. then we will get a new season with as much quality like the first if not better.
i dont think covid affect quality too much, but it certainly delay the production that causes it to stretch to 3 years production despite the showrunner and director said they had no problem with funding or other approval stuff. so hopefully for next season we wont have to wait as long as 3 years
The way they made you fall in love with these actors, not just the characters, in 8 episodes was truly amazing.
I was not expecting to cry in a single episode...let alone 5
Seriously. Now I just want to watch what these actors have done in their other work.
@@lockekappa500mackenyu who play Zoro did amazing job in Rurouni Kenshin live action too
Agreed! The writing of each episode, each one gradually introducing elements of the OP world was well done. By episode 8, the interested casual viewer is accepting of similar but very different world (the mix of modern and old, unusual land formations in the ocean, a world of vast oceanic expanses), power granting fruits (Luffy and Buggy), animal-people (Merry, Arlong and crew), possibilities of supernatural powers (Shanks influencing the sea monster, Kuro's super speed, Garp's strength). It prepares the viewer for the more...imaginative elements in following arcs. All with actors who make the characters fun, relatable and a really fun show to watch!
Sanji and Zoros relationship is kinda like Sanji and the cooks at Baratie, they fight a lot but deep down they respect each other
It is kinda like two brothers, they annoy each other to no end but they would die for each other
Actually one main reason zoro and sanji argue is because they have very different characters. As you know sanji treats women with special respect and never hits them, while zoro believes that there is no difference between men and women and does not underestimate them. As in his backstory, he had made a promise with her friend who was a girl, that one of them would become the greatest
@@snoop_kantzo " zoro believes that there is no difference between men and women" not entirely true, Zoro can hit a woman and will if he need, but he also dont like to fight or hurt woman, to a lesser degree than Sanji, but just see in the fight against Monet, where Monet realizes that he is avoiding a serious fight and only after she hurts Tashigui a lot, Zoro attacks seriously and says that there are things he prefers not cut, but you can't provoke a wild animal and think it won't attack at some point. Another example is that when Enel electrocutes Robin, Zoro becomes enraged and screams in rage, SHE IS A WOMAN
Luffy is the one who really dont give a shit and punch womn face anytime no problem if she provokes him
@@flavioshinigami7971 yes i know what you talking about, this is just more details, i just wanted to make a point between zoro and sanji
@@flavioshinigami7971 and there is Ussop scarying the shit out of women for their lives XD
One of us! One of us! One of us!
The One Piece is real!!!
THE ONE PIECE!
THE ONE PIECE IS GOOOOOOD!!!
Had that in my head since episode 1
easily identifiable that mihawk respect shanks. since mihawk was introduced, he looked down on almost everyone he talked to except shanks lol. he couldnt even say no when asked to drink.
Our boy Mihawk bounced when his bro Shanks showed up at Marineford!
Yeah! You can tell that the crew respected the manga. Like sometimes an adaptation is annoyed or embarrassed by its source but not here.
Gumo Gum Axe? Yes, that’s happening!
Also from episode 5: "Though I do like your hat."
Well, also of course because Shanks isn't just a random pirate who happen to give a hat to the mc. 😂
@@Shadow1Yaz 100%, yes! So many live-action manga/anime adaptations seem embarrassed by how wacky they source material is; these guys embraced it---Garp chucking a cannonball with more force than an actual cannon? Why the hell not? Mihawk using a pocket knife to school Zoro? Let's go for it!
This show had no shame, and that's what we need more of!
And you can tell, the whole crew had a blast with this and are genuine fans of Oda's work.
I’ve never heard Helmeppos name either… but it’s hilarious that everyone’s renamed him berries and cream, or Bad Haircut. It suits him so well I might forget his real name on purpose!
Your last tears for end of season 1 so sincere. Love it
Fun fact: around the scene where they gather around to state their dreams a rendition of the anime’s 1st opening starts playing ❤ It was such a cool and nostalgic scene, especially for us anime watchers 🥰
It also played when they sailed out of Syrup village 🥰🥰
Sometimes we just need a heartwarming show to watch to counter all the dark and gritty ones we’ve had this year.
indeeed totally agree
I know it's complicated and will be very expensive but please give us season 2 holy shit this has been so good
THIS IS LITERALLY JUST THE PROLOGUE
Help fund the next season by getting a Netflix subscription kek 😂😂
@@markauditor7873 Not to imply you shouldnt support Netflix, but it's already the most popular show ever to be on Netflix. There's ZERO chance they dont throw money at Season 2.
Not even the entire prologue lmao thats crazy
Like part 1 of the prologue. Doesn’t really begin until the grand line
@@markauditor7873 That is why I resubbed to Netflix instead of pirate the show. As funny as it would be the pirate the pirate show, I resubscribed within hours of OP live action going live, just so it gets added in their internal numbers for how the show did.
i think helmeppo’s name is mentioned literally once 😂 but you’re right even in the subtitles he’s called “cadet” which is honestly the respect he deserves.
24:04 i am YELLING 😂😂
begging you to do the sub. the voice acting is PHENOMENAL in japanese.
Would have been a nice touch to change his subtitle after Garp sees him and Koby bond at the end here, symbolic of his recognition.
Not sure how many more lines he had after "with my friend", but I'd include it moving forward.
It's clear that Meppo wants the Straw Hat's recognition, particularly Zoro and Luffy, so having his subs read Helmeppo when he's on the battleship, and Haircut when he's with the crew until presumably season 12 would be a clever way to reference this
@@ibuprofriendsYou mean the dub? Subs are just subtitles, the japanese version is the dub here.
@@ShadMuffin I think he's talking about the anime, which he mentioned in the video was deciding to watch either subbed or dubbed.
The straw hat honestly doesn't look bad on you man 👍🏾
He looks like current Shanks if he still has the straw hat on
It was heartwarming seeing you tear up to the Strawhats sharing their dreams. Safe to say, we got a new fan joining the fan base!
It's the only way to react to it. Glad that's how he went about it.
My advice is to do subs, because most of the fanbase prefers that, and I feel like the japanese VAs are just incredible
Yeah I don't think I can even watch dub tbh, will make me sad that he is missing out on the amazing performance of these va's, they're legends
I love how everyone that finishes this says they want to watch the anime. One Piece is making a huge wave a new fans! I’m loving it! I want everyone to experience this masterpiece like I did! Welcome to the One Piece fan base!! 👏🏽
Love Nami's theme song sung by AURORA (which plays a bit in the background of the final two episodes, and fully at the end into the credits)!
Such a beautiful song
I know right! It’s so beautiful and emotional. I’ve watched OPLA now twice and on the second watch through I heard snippets of the song all over the show in impactful scenes. Got tears in my eyes every time.
There are two musical call backs from the anime. One is in an early episode with Shanks, and the other one is the final song. It's a version of the first opening, and its an absolute bop.
They also played a bit of "We Are" at the end of episode 4 - the first time they set sail on the Going Merry. I thought it was a great place to put it.
Legitimately can’t wait for Omni to hear We Are for the first time!!!
@@PooglianYes, that was perfect. They waited to play We Are until they were sailing on Merry.
Love the barrel scene where they all stated their dreams. So well translated and done! Such a great ending to a fun ride
I just want to see this recreated with a faceless little girl in a raincoat joining in and stating her dream.
[SPOILERS AHEAD]
(Though I try to keep it vague)
I always assumed it was where Oda was leading with it to close the montage,, until he didn't.
Loved the scene, but instead of a greatest hits, I'd cut to a promise, then a journey scene that shows the crew's potential and her faith in them, then another promise or two, and repeat. Close with hers, then cut to scenes of the crew taking care of her. As much of a "farewell" as it should be a "you'll be okay" and an "I lived my dream". We end in present day, the crew tearfully thanking her, her apologising, the scene we got in the original, the audience a wreck, y'know the usual.
I just want her there, even if she's not yet strong enough to manifest, she was present and she was a committed as any other crewmate. As it stands, we don't actually know where she committed herself to the crew, but this would be been so perfect to me
@@mobbs6426 don't think it would make sense to suddenly reveal that character at this point in the live action since the build up and characterization isn't there. i do hope they show the character eventually tho, especially if they get to water 7
And the music incorporating the first opening theme from the anime was *chefs kiss*
@@mobbs6426 with the mallet on her hand
The only problem with this scene is that it occurs before Loguetown and before Usopp's interaction with Daddy the Father. Without that interaction, Usopp's dream doesn't make that much sense or have as much of an impact as the other Straw Hats
Seeing you tearing up during the barrel scene made me cry, its so beautiful to watch someone truly fall in love with the world of One Piece
that comment in the intro is such a canon event
It's worth noting that Usopp took out one of Arlong's lieutenants by himself when Zoro and Sanji had to team up to take out the other
That didn't happen in the anime or manga though so not really a relevant point to pick up on
chew is really weak and sanji did solo kuroobi when he was serious. Zoro was also extremely injured but sure my man
@@sharpy122what?! Usopp took down Chu even harder in the anime. Pure blunt force trauma from a hammer.
Rip Hachi 💔 I guess his arms were too expensive for the show
@@saynotzai they did our boy hachi dirty :'(
Its way more emotional at the end when u realize how far all of them have came
Anime is different but it hits harder than live action still live action did the best work imaginable and totally loved it
Honestly, for me the live action hit harder than the anime, not as hard as the manga though. I just can’t with all the extended fighting in the anime. It cuts the flow of the story and bores me to sleep.
I actually struggled staying awake for the anime whenever fighting took more than an episode or two. I originally binged it in batches with a friend and had to start reading the manga (best choice ever) along our watch through so I wouldn’t miss anything important while snoozing during the fight episodes. 😂
@@WednesdayOrFriday obviously anime stretches the scenes and its really bad they are doing it manga is lit tho. Now that I am caught up with manga and anime its fun watching it for the animation
Keep in mind how hard something hits will depend on the person. Some people will get more easily attached to a real person acting than a drawn character.
One thing I felt with the live action is that it feels a little bit watered down and yeah that makes sense cuz they tried to cramp like 40 episodes into 8. The crew didn't feel as fleshed out as it was in the anime.
The barrel scene hit 100% harder in love action than any other medium for me.
"THAT MEANS NOTHING TO ME" loved that reaction XD
Oh Man! Greg from Reel Rejects recommended your channel and I'm so glad for that! Such an amazing review from someone who never watched the anime. You completely understood the core and the heart of this story and each and every character. I'm so happy for you to be watching the anime soon, and diving into more of One Piece's world-building and arcs. I hope you watch it in subs, One Piece's VAs are one of the best that this generation has to offer (they also dubbed the live-action in Japanese, which shows their passion for the series). I'm excited for you to journey into this more.
Oh thank you!!! That’s awesome! I tried my best but this honestly made it really easy to follow along with everything for someone new! I haven’t stopped thinking about the show but I’ve been out of town for an X files thing! When I get a chance I’ll be picking it up after I’ve caught up on everything! I’m leaning Sub right now for the anime journey!
The live action did great at covering the first 45 episodes and a few of the moments covering Coby and Helmeppo's character development under Garp, which happened further in the anime.
100 manga chapters!
From all the reactors I've seen so far, you are one of the few with the best grip on what OP is trying to convey with it's story. Really glad you enjoyed it! The Nami-Luffy scene is literally what made most OP fans, fans for life!
And if you wonder wether you should go for the long journey of watching 1000+ episodes of an anime and wonder, who will be there to watch along - We are.
They NEED more budget for the next season for 10 episodes to cover Vivi and to make a good Chopper and almost all his phases
Don't forget about Ace and Crocodile I wonder how they will make their devil fruit powers look.
you gotta do sub man 😭😭😭 luffy’s voice actor alone is good enough reason to, she’s a legend
I'm really glad that the live action has inspired you to watch the anime! I've been a long time fan of OP, and I honestly would give anything to experience the story from the start afresh, as if a brand new viewer like yourself. I hope the journey is as fantastically silly and heartbreaking if/when you do dip your feet into its world and community.
So you're saying you need an amnesia arc. "urgh, so cliche" lol
If you start the anime, it's a one way street... You'll become obsessed with this world 😂
From a long time One Piece fan.... the Barrel scene was the one that made me tear up, so many memories, so many GREAT memories with this Crew... our crew. Nakamas!
One Piece is one of the rare shounen that draws out these emotions. And even with HYPE, when Luffy finally shows up to any final battle, it’s always peak HYPE.
I love how many times you've got emotional. That just proves that the live-action adaptation achieved the same as the manga/anime. But even more so, it got you hooked to start watching the anime and that's what the purpose was. I'm so happy!!!
As a One Piece fan for the past 19 years: Welcome to the club!
Glad you're gonna be watching the anime. I know based on your reactions here that you're gonna fall head over heels in love with it.
I'd honestly recommend watching the sub. Some of the voices of crewmates to come are truly terrible in the dub. Also NEVER read the episode titles before watching the episode. At LEAST until you get to the 500s
3:55 Watch it with subtitles on, it's AMAZING what you can miss.
Garp and his Fists of Love 😅 Another glimpse into the power system of OP
The hat! Another fan acquired. I vote for sub with the anime watchalong. The VAs for the Japanese dub are legends in the business.
I cried with you at the barrel scene. Japanese voices with english subs are always the way to go for the anime! 😊 im so here for you reacting to One Piece anime too! Hope you enjoy it!!
SUB!!! The voices are just way better in their original voices 😭
You’re going to love this anime. You have no idea how good this is gonna get.
I’ll be there with you on this journey!
12:18 CRITICAL HIT!
22:50 IT'S SUPER EFFECTIVE!
As a big fan of the anime I really loved how they brought garp in earlier. Also I think the live action did syrup village better then the anime. To me the changes made improved the pacing of those first 40 or so episodes of the anime.
Yeah, I think they did every arc better than the anime/manga except Arlong park. I still give it an 8/10 even tho I really hate how they handled Arlong Park which is the most important arc in the eastblue saga. Everything feels rushed and Luffy vs Arlong is super underwhelming. Maybe those prosthetics makes him harder to move because it's just Luffy punching Arlong and Arlong punching him back.
I preferred the character journeys for Arlong Park in the manga/anime. I wish they kept the thing about Coco Village actually knowing about Nami's plan, but I understand why they changed it. It still works.
Agree about Syrup Village! The anime was funnier, but the haunted house/slasher theme of the live action was so much fun. I wish they gave Usopp more to do in his own intro arc, though.
As a long time fan, of almost 2 decades, I enjoyed watching non-fans have a blast with the LA and morph into fans right before my eyes. Great reactions, thoughtful reviews, good job! Can’t wait for you to keep enjoying OP.
P.S sub is great for the emotional parts. Nami’s “Help me” scene in Japanese gives me chills and brings me to tears every time!
Glad they nailed the constant bickering between Zoro and Sanji without making it too childish in live action lol
Also, subbed for the the anime reaction cuz the live action journey with you has been fun! 😁
I hope in the next season well get a sanji vs zoro happening on the background when someone was talking just like in the anime/manga.
Agreed. That scene when they shared their goals/dream around the barrel was beautiful. Tearjerker moment for sure.
Thank you very much for your awesome reaction!
I cried when u cried at 23:10 when they spoke their dreams! The live action was amazing, it captured the anime vibes perfectly.
23:03 - The song that plays after they've said their dreams is the very first original one piece song that came out in 1999, and the whole fandom loves it! It's sort of an anthem for the community: We Are
That tease at the end would have been episode 9 and 10 were it not for budget constraints.
I hope you begin the anime too, we will definitely be with you on your anime journey! Maybe like 3 episodes per day would be good, that will be 60 minutes. You can begin from episode 44 to get in flow with the anime status and character personalities that differ a little bit in live action so it wont have been cringe.
44-47 might feel slow-ish to you since after the stressful Arlong Park they gave us breathing room. After that it sky rockets.
You're right, both Shanks and Mihawk were there at Roger's execution. If u begin anime I cant wait for u to discover the connection!
Hi sorry i've been searching this song's name, do u know what's the title of the song at 23:03 but anime version?
That end tease MEANS EVERYTHING to us fans lol
(HE HAS TWO CIGARS FUCK YES)
Trust me and watch the subbed version, every single scene hits way harder and the dubbed version just sounds like a bunch of people mocking the characters. Also the anime is just incredible, I've heard of people who get hooked to the story after just three episodes even though it's so long.
Just take your time watching it! If you don't like it then at least you try and thank you for the reviews!
The way youu teared up with the barrel scene almost had me tearing up because- That's the shit! The love and attachment we have for these characters and their dreams! It's fricking beautiful. I'm really happy you're giving the anime a chance after this, based on how much you enjoyed this, you won't regret it.
Oh man, i have watched all your mandalorian reactions and sonce you are a star wars guru and i have been a one piece fan since 1999 (i'm 40 btw), i would give my life to erase my memory and watch the scene with nami knifing down her tatoo and luffy stopping her, known as the legendary THE WALK TO ARLONG PARK, as well seeing skypiea arc as well Nico Robin rescue at Ennies lobby.
PLEASE WATCH IT IN ORIGINAL DUB, these voice actors have been 25 years the same and have given their life idenity to each character.
The barrel scene is ICONIC! I'm so proud of everyone involved ...they put their hearts into this production. And I'm so happy Oda was involved as much as was. I am SO freaking excited for you to start the anime...NAKAMA! Grand Line, here we come!
0:12 HA! I KNEW IT! You did got your own strawhat! Nice 😂😊
literally me also crying watching this in english and japanese dub, welcome to the club man!
That barrel scene got me ... seeing the younger actors ... tears! Usopp never has been my favorite character but I think here is the first time I realized. Everyones dream is external ... some distant goal they want to reach. Usopps journey is internal he wants to be brave and that cut back to his mom really had me sobbing. Those two seconds really rung his backstory home, better than they did in "his" episode. Damn kudos to this series! Now we have to wait for season 2 😢😢😢
Loved your thoughts on this season!! Very appreciative of the fact that you’ve taken the time to breakdown and expand on your thoughts on each episode. So excited to know that you’re planning to start the OP anime journey. Welcome to the crew!!
YOOO the straw hat is looking good on you, mate!!
Take your time going through One Piece. Enjoy the journey!!
This is so incredible. To see new fans come into this franchise because of this live action. It just goes to show you how sucessful this LA is. I can't wait for you to dive into oda's world and characters. It goes far beyond anything you can imagine.
If even just you has watched the live action and are now deciding to go check out the main series, I can safely say the live action did its job. A very well done show by itself, but still giving people the push to even think about starting the journey that they've avoided so far because of the length. Even if reactions don't come, I hope you enjoy the anime!
If you are watching the anime you have to watch with the real audio! the japanese voice actor for one piece are in-cre-di-ble! I'm really happy to follow your journey with One Piece!!
Loved how they transition from Child Voices to adult voices as each said their dreams. 😭😊
I just want to say, your reactions have been an absolute delight. You have such smart and heartfelt insight into the nuances of the characters and it's been so sweet and nostalgic to watch you a new fan get invested in their stories! I've felt unable to genuinely recommend One Piece to new people for a long time because the length is so intimidating, and I'm enormously grateful that this adaptation has been an entry point for you and others. Thanks for sharing your journey into this season, and I hope you will enjoy the anime as well!!
as a One Piece fan i am glad you enjoyed it. you can always watch the anime or read the manga until the point where the live action stopped and then you can see if you want to wait until season 2 or keep going, also personal opinion; i don't like the dub, the sub is better
I used to read the manga but could never get into the anime, when i watched the live action I immediately went to watch the anime, it really got me to kick-start watching it
@@kadegetslaid634I have to admit that the East Blue arc in the anime wasn't done really well, but I feel like Nami's story was a turning point, most of people got invested after that.
@@khanhtrong7761people got invested in the show at the END of episode 7? Right lol
@@khanhtrong7761 totally
"in the anime"
I enjoyed following your journey as a fan of one piece since 2007. It's always great to see the story touch other people the same way it did for me.
I knew this reaction was gonna be goated when I saw you pull out the hat. The barrel scene at the end was literal perfection. They delivered those lines with so much confidence and sincerity that you really believe that their dreams will come true.
I loved this series so much because it communicated the things that really make the themes in One Piece so universal. It's a story about dreamers. It's about staying true to yourself in a world that continually wants to change you and encouraging others to do the same. It's a story about friendship, freedom, conviction, and resolve all wrapped up in this fantastical world filled with silly pirates and special powers.
As a One Piece fan standpoint: Sub is def way to go. Legendary voice actors bringing the anime to another level. And the emotions those VA's bring is just incredible. Dub has great VA's too, but it really ain't the same.
As an content creator standpoint (you ofc): Sub 99% of the time brings more views/watchtime than dub.
One Piece def has a great dub, but One Piece always had one of the best japanese voice actors in any anime for over 2 decades.
Fun fact, when Zeff hangs Luffy's wanted poster in the Baratie, there's a little sign above it that saus 'Employee of the Month.
You're right about them pulling off what was meant to be portrayed here. If you love the live action, then you're a One Piece fan just as much as we are! 😄
I've been hoping to find someone who loved the live action enough to try the anime! Super excited to see your journey from the opposite perspective!
If you're still debating sub vs dub, let me make it easy: go with the sub. The Japanese voice actors are on another level. People don't just like them; they swear by them. A scene that might barely move you in the dub can bring you to tears in the sub. Given how emotionally invested you get while watching, you'd be missing out big time by going with the dub. And also honestly, subbed videos pull more views. Go sub, you won't regret it and will be praising the VA's all the way through, I'm saying that passionately because I know it's the best way to enjoy One piece, I started the anime watching dub and realize my mistake once I made the switch and went back to watch everything in sub and it was a totally different experience in term of emotions and humor
My wife absolutely hates Frankie's voice in the sub though. xD
i compared them both and luffy's voice was just too grating in English 😆
also fun fact but the Japanese dub of OPLA used the original anime cast! and there are some interesting little changes in the script too, like Zoro saying "you got a problem with that, Pirate King?" when swearing himself to Luffy, which is what he says in the anime when he's saying he won't lose again
This was made as an introduction to make non-anime watchers to really watch the anime and the hope of reading it since the live action was more based on the actual manga. Enjoy the One Piece journey! Sending virtual support 💌
They did such good job with the show I really hope we can get more seasons I want to see chopper and Robin and I really want to see the skypia arc be adapted
I love how emotionally invested you are, I'll watch the anime/manga react in the future
This live action was absolutely insane for one of the hardest Anime to adapt into real life but I noticed something that was out of character for Luffy to say at 9:49 “maybe I can’t beat you”. It’s true Arlong is strong but Luffy always believes he can take anyone on especially in the East Blue saga as a rookie
imho good they nerfed luffy. in anime he steamrolled east blue and any problem with enemies was caused by himself (i.e. he stuck somwhere for a while so crew can do at least something) this make him more alive. he start to think about become stroonger and responsible much early and so get some growth
@@Dendansa yeah that’s true I suppose, since it would’ve been less fun as a live action if he beat everyone too quickly
Something cool you could do unless you've already seen it. You could react to looking at what the straw hat crew looks like currently in the manga
It's so good watching your reactions and discussion on this show man.
Garp is a beast, there's a reason they call him the hero of the marines. He could've been fleet admiral (2 ranks above his current vice admiral rank) which is the literally the head of whole navy.
Hope you'll enjoy the anime too, thanks!
@2:45 just a clarification. It's not grandline's map, but it's a map to the entrance of the grand line from anywhere in the east blue and a little bit more, but most of the GRANDLINE is uncharted territory for general average pirate or a Marine.
The other half of the Grand Line; the new world; is the only one that is uncharted no?
@@markauditor7873New World is more dangerous and complicated needing modified log pose. But log poses are still needed to navigate the Paradise and so the locations are not known but the names of the islands in each path are known to few.
But top Marines mostly have eternal pose so they can go through calm belt to any place inside and outside Grandline.
As an emotional show, voice acting is extremely important so I got sub better for the anime. Serious Luffy also sounds a little morer respectable in the original. The Live Action got the essence of One Piece on point.
The dude with the cigars in the end teaser? The one you didn't recognize? He's in the execution scene in the first episode. Teenaged kid with poofy blond hair. Camera focuses on him for a second as the crowd runs out to all be pirates.
It’s going to be so interesting watching you experience the anime now having seen the show. So much is different, can’t wait to hear your thoughts when going through it
having subs in a small box to read is actually handy as a viewer since most reactors will occasionally cover the anime to save fair use time while still providing context to the viewer. but as you said, it would be easier for you to listen rather than read! a loooot of people will be complaining about the dub in the comments tho 😅
however, the sub is so good that they had the original voice actors dub over the live action, which goes to show how much people love them
Welcome to the crew!! Can’t wait to watch your reactions to the ANIME 🤩 I prefer watching anime SUB, but you can decide ofcourse what suits you best. But SUB version has that extra punch and weight in each lines.
On the sub vs dub debate, I just want to say that some of us dont speak english as our first language, so having those subtitles actually helps (even if they are small)
Please watch the anime with subs, the original VA's are living legends and the emotions they put on these characters are incredible, I did some comparaisons too and I didn't felt on any languages the emotions I feel when I hear certain scenes with the original voices
As someone who caught up to the anime recently I gotta say…..seeing the barrel scene again where they all state their dreams got me….it’s such a damn good journey and I can’t wait for you to experience the anime. You won’t regret it :)
I’m so glad that we could go through this together, I’m so excited for you to see the anime, i will admit that it’s a bit slow to begin with but it’s just so good as it keeps going
You are one of us now . WELCOME TO THE CREW FRIEND!!!🔥🔥🔥
The guy with the cigars with Luffy's bounty is a Marine Captain, The White Hunter, Smoker. The strongest marine in the East Blue, and the protector of Lougetown. The island where Gold Roger, The King of The Pirates was both born and executed.
It’s gonna be interesting seeing a live action watcher check out the anime! I’m so happy you enjoyed it!
if this helps, i've noticed that a lot of one piece reactors use the sub version and crop to show only the subtitles so that the viewers know what part you're watching without needing to see or hear it as often. they usually flip and put a filter or something over the rest of the video and make it disappear more often than not so not to get struck down by toei. In the end, do whatever works for you! OP fans will show up either way lol
I'm glad you enjoyed the show and I really enjoyed your reactions so much and your reviews at the end too, I can't wait for you to start the anime ❤
