The joy of all this is that Oda came on TH-cam himself, less than 2 weeks after One Piece launched on Netflix, and announced that season 2 was happening.
Heh, JOY.
@@lightningjadejavier oh BOY
@@helium3137 this puts a SUNNY SMILE to my face.
@@lightningjadejavier and THOUSANDs of other people's faces, no doubt.
@@LPTheGas omg i just got what you were referring to, nice one my dude
Chew: “Who would be stupid to attack us?”
Me: “WE ARE!!!”
🎶🎶we are..we are...on the cruise...we are🎶🎶
14:45 “This is a family of psychopaths.”
Just wait until you meet the rest of Luffy’s family.
And it is a BIG family.
The funny thing is Usop pulled the one ranged fighter the Fishmen had and kited him away from Sanji and Zoro who would be weak at range. Without him they might have failed.
I never thought of it that way haha!
And don't forget, that Fishmen is the second in command of Arlong Pirates. Usopp bested one of the strongest...that's a feat.
Also in the manga, that fishman was one of Arlong's strongest guys. His bounty alone was 5.5 million.
Fun fact. The smoker tease wasn't originally planned. A writer pitched it and then the writer's strike happened and he had no idea if they used it or not. Getting to see it first along with everyone else watching the series. I think one of the biggest strengths of this adaptation is that most, if not all, people working on it are fans of the source material.
Another fun fact: Both the Luffy and Zoro actors dubbed themselves in the Latin American Spanish localization.
Iñaki Godoy (Luffy) was evem coach by the old Luffy's VA in the anime: Mireya Mendoza. The latter is also one of the directors and translators of the live-action dub in my language.
If I had to sum up what made me love this series, it was its sincerity. It was not afraid to wear its heart on its sleeve, it did not try to undercut the heartfelt moments with cynicism to make it "more real", it did not try crack jokes at its own expense out of insecurity. It just was unabashedly itself. This and Arcane are easily some of my favorite recent shows and its for the same reason, they are wildly different in tone yet they are unafraid to tell the story they want to tell.
The perfect word for this series.
100% is just so damn earnest how can you not absolutely love it?
Well, it did crack jokes at its own expense, but he source material does that too.
More often it would cut jokes cracked at its own expense.
I believe Koby mentioned that the mouse/rat Marine Capt. Nezumi set the bounty on Luffy as revenge.
As someone who just never got into the One Piece Manga or anime, this series is exactly what I needed to get into the universe and story. Can't wait for more.
Trust me when I say this, it gets bigger from here. More islands, more villains, more crazy characters & adventures.
Hell, the Straw Hats you meet in this season? This is only half of them.
As one who doesn't watch anime (had I not set that boundary, I would have no life outside consuming entertainment) this show has been amazing!
And Nerdy is very correct, worldbuilding is my jam!
If you like fantasy then currently airing Frieren is fantastic.
Read the manga if you can. Anime is dragged a lot. It’s not a 1000 episode long story in canon
read the manga then, it's way faster, you won't regret it!
Emily Rudd was amazing. This show was excellently done and I love how such an iconic show set the bar so high for adaptations going forward.
Rudd also does voice acting, she us Marcile in the Delicious in Dungeon anime.
There are some strong parental figures in One Piece - they're just not great all round parents, they have clear flaws but are more believable for it. There's two very strong contenders for best dad in anime.
Kuma carries
Daddy the Parent? 😅
@@robertbretschneider765no someone farther
The strongest dad in the world though, is probably well the goat of being a dad, bro will forgive you for almost anything
@@lightningjadejavierOki know what u mean. But i disagree to call that good parenting. Its being papa bear to a bunch of adult troublemakers and criminals. Hes a good "father figure", but Daddy the parent is an actual Dad with a little daughter. One-legged guy is an even stronger contender than Daddy though. 😉
That look of total astonishment when he let down the gum gum battle axe was just perfect.
When the literal prologue is more than 1 season long.
Its the first big saga tbf
Cool tidbit, that last scene with the flashbacks wasn't planned. An editor just got the idea, made it, and showed the show runner.
E8
06:23 Raid on arlong park 08:50
11:50 Garp arrives on cocoyashi village
16:00 Bounty, reactions
19:20 Mihawk-Shanks, Barrel scene, Smoker tease
I get that they had the scene with Arlong's building falling to pieces, but it would have been great to see the scene of Luffy throwing Nami's desk out the window. That really brought the feels in the anime.
I hear you: through what window?
@@NekoHanyouHanaru right. Idr all the details, but you get my point. He might have thrown it through the wall or the general destruction he was making.
This live action is such a huge success. Really hyped for Season 2, I guarantee the next villain is gonna be more interesting.
I mean, he’s one of the best villains in the series.
I hope they have more than 8 episodes for season 2. I think it would benefit if it had more if they try to adapt all of the Alabasta saga.
I was thinking of the crappy annoying one from the cold island and got so confused, and then I remembered who the main big bad of the entire saga was
@@milkntomatoes9418 Wapol. He’s definitely not the overarching villain, but he’s still an important character, especially now in the manga.
@@Phanthief95 I didn't forget the name, I was trying to be vague to avoid spoiling them
The problem with smoker is he's Not the "villain" you wanna end the series on. You wanna end the series with arlong as the last villain. If Loguetown is chapter one of season 2 then you're off to a really good start.
It also works to have Smoker teased at the end because he does play a major role in the Alabasta saga, which Season 2 will cover.
They originally intended to end the series on Loguetown, it just got cut.
There's plenty of ways you could use that to end the series.
There's a pretty major cliffhanger you could end it on if you wanted to...
Loguetown is going to be a KILLER opening. I hope they are able to get to Alabasta as the final of season 2. I think Loguetown can be done in 2 episodes. Entering the Grand Line and Laboon could be 1. Whiskey Peak could be 1. Then Garden Island 1. Drum Kingdom 2. Then Alabasta in 3 episodes... so they need 10 to do it. Hope they do!
@@benjaminroe311ify Loguetown can easily be done in one episode. It’s a pretty short arc.
I think the biggest strength of this adaptation is that Oda had creative oversight. Not a single change went through without his approval, and he made some scenes be shot again or said no to aspects (like a romance between Zoro and Nami) that don't match his vision for the series. This isn't a soulless Hollywood adaptation - this is an Oda adaptation, starring cast and crew who love the series.
For people asking, Steven Maeda talked in an interview that you can find at th-cam.com/video/_0WkkX1_Wm0/w-d-xo.htmlsi=ljmT4elCQ570W606 about how involved Oda was.
It is proof that you can change plenty about an original story for an adaptation, so long as the changes serve a purpose and the heart of the story and characters is still there.
Eh. Percy Jackson's adaptation has similar oversight by the original author and it has all kinds of issues. Despite how constantly repeated this sentiment is, no whether the original creator is involved or not is not the magic bullet for a good show. For every time it works out there are times where the original creator is an active detriment. Like Gene Roddenberry created a popculture touch stone with Star Trek that has spanned well over half a century, but The Next Generation didn't become the classic its remembered as until he was kicked up stairs and out of the way of the people writing that show. The arguably best Star Trek film was made by someone that had no knowledge whatsoever of the franchise when he took the job and took it on himself to dive into the source material with his own research.
There just is no one single answer for what makes a good film or show adaptation of something beyond the person involved having respect for the material (which does not mean making zero changes, as films like Blade Runner or The Thing demonstrate) and having the right people assembled with the talent to pull it off.
Where did you get the information that they planned for a zoro and nami romance?
@@agot7fan855 yeah that feels like citations are needed cause their was interviews back when the project was just announced where Matt Owen’s groaned when someone asked if there will be romance and he shouted ‘no’ while breaking into laughter.
Yeah. If you have to change the plot to fit into 8 episodes, that's fine. You just can't change the characters. One Piece did it perfectly. There were parts where I preferred the anime or manga, but the whole way through it had the heart and soul of One Piece. That's all I could ask for.
Many people think that acting is about pretending, but it's not. Pretending is when you become a tree or a mouse as a kid while playing games. Meanwhile an actor forgets who he is, his actual self dies, and he is then inhabited by the soul of the character he is playing. He IS that character, for as long as he is on the stage.
And the cast for One Piece nailed that.
Honestly, considering all the parental figures, Zeff and Sanji's relationship is pretty damn healthy.
Especially compared to that between Sanji & his actual dad.
I mean, Sanji considers Zeff his dad more than his actual father.
Koby wasn't reintroduced that much later, it's an illusion caused by the anime putting their cover story way later than it started and actually happenwd.
Canonically the Coby/Helmeppo cover story happened just after syrup villiage.
Despite what he says, readers caught up know that Garp was holding back a *lot*
He is THE FIST
ALOT
I mean, this is the man who Gold Roger considered his rival.
You know he’s holding back.
The decision to move Loguetown to season 2 works very well because Smoker plays such a huge part of the following saga that Loguetown feels like a part of the following saga.
The CGI when Arlong grow his teeth back looked really good , i cant wait to see how they are going to improve it in season 2 , considering that we are going to see more devil fruit user’s beside Luffy and Buggy.
Crazy to know that this season ended while they're still in the tutorial stage.
They didn't explain it but each fish man has unique characteristics, Chuu is an archer fish fishman, so like just like the one in real life, he can shoot liquid from his mouth with accuracy
I heard that the post credit scene was filmed very late into production, so when the main cast saw it they were just as surprised and excited as we are 😂
I was waiting for you to tear up at the end the whole episode. So glad you loved it!
For reasons I can't say at this point in your watch-through, I found it touching that you chose the Going Merry as your algorithm goddess for the episode. 😊
The barrel scene at the end gets everyone …. All the reactions, no one has escaped crying or getting emotional at that scene. A genius touch, kudos to the editor who made that happen!!
“He spent a lot of money on his face” Had me dead 💀 😂 that was golden
Fun fact: Both the Luffy and Zoro actors dubbed themselves in the Latin American Spanish localization.
Iñaki Godoy (Luffy) was evem coach by the old Luffy's VA in the anime: Mireya Mendoza. The latter is also one of the directors and translators of the live-action dub in my language.
Gum-Gum Finale is a title. Imagine the last chapter of One Piece will be titled Gum-Gum The End!!
GUM GUM One Piece 😮
Fun Fact: Bellemere means “Beautiful Mother” ❤
Or "Beautiful Sea", depending on how you place the accent. 😊
@@happyslapsgiving5421
It also means stepmother in French.
14:55 “Parental figures in One Piece are not great.”
True for most, not true for all of them. The most recent manga chapters gave us an amazing parental figure who sacrificed everything for his daughter.
Kora san too🫡
Love this duo. Nerdy posits "I don't know if they could have done a better job than this", and where I, as a huge One Piece fan *could* make some highly subjective criticisms, I simply conclude that this production went way above my expectations in the first place.
Then Clarooooo comes off the top rope with the astute observation that this is unapologetically One Piece, without even experiencing any other medium of One Piece. This show was obviously created by people who know and love the intellectual property. Well... That, and Oda himself was given a say in his own story. That is a LOT more than *some* other adaptions around, today.
Anyway, great stuff. As soon as I stop being lazy, I'm going to get the Patreon, and watch the whole thing again. Nerdy's OP reactions are my current favorites in currently in the 1st half (QueenBlaze is killing it, too!). I want to be there for Avatar, because word is that much of the same production crew is working on that show, as well. Quality stuff.
I think it was really smart for season 1 to end with Arlong Park. That arc is pretty much the narrative climax of the saga, where (almost) all of the loose plot strands of East Blue get tied up and resolved. It also means that the season ends at the emotional peak of this section of the story, which is satisfying and leaves a good impression of the show in the audience's minds.
This also means that we'll be starting off season two from a REALLY great jumping off point. The next arc will give lots of opportunity not only to touch back on the core story of the series but also serve to re-establish what is baseline "normal" for this world before going into the insanity of the Grand Line. It also means that two characters that will be very important will be introduced in episode 1 of that season instead of the final episode of last season, which narratively works extremely well.
"So a sharp bullet would hurt him" Yes. The reason bullets don't do anything to Luffy is that the world of One piece has older guns with round bullets.
I don't think the decision to end it here was a writing decision. I think it was a covid decision. The series was supposed to have two more episodes originally. And the barrel scene takes place at the end of the saga in the manga but they had to move it because they had no end point after the cut. I'm just speculating though, I have no proof.
As for the writing, despite my overall love for this adaptation it was a mixed bag. The writing of the plot overall is pretty good beside some hiccup with Garp (his motivation is nonsensical, not only does his change in episode 6 mean nothing, but the reveal of his motive here makes no sense. You don't send Mihawk at your grandson because you wanted to make sure "he knew his worth/determination". That's not a test, that's just nonsense. But overall the addition of Garp as a reccuring antagonist and the reveal is good.
My main issue is that the dialogue writing is very bad in a lot of key points. "I'll be the greatest swordsman in the world that ever was" is such a horrible line. I know it's a combination of two lines hence why it's so clunky but why they decided to combine them is weird. Luffy also has a lot of weak dialogue imo. Casting is impeccable though.
Feels like Mihawk is just there to snatch not to test, and he just went "nope this is more fun this way"
I think Garp's motivation made perfect sense. He knows that as Luffy gets more notorious and crosses into the Grand Line that he will have many Marine's and Pirates chasing him that won't care if he dies. He chased him himself and sent Mihawk to show him the types of things he would be up against but in a controlled way where he knew his Grandson would ultimately be okay.
@@CallistoTheWarriorQueen Doesn't make any sense to me. Showing him what waits for him is irrelevant because it's not like Luffy will be able to stop those threats anyway.
Even if Luffy knows that Mihawk is in the grand line and how strong he is, it's not gonna change anything: Luffy still won't be able to do anything against people of Mihawk's level for years so that knowledge is useless.
(SPOILER)

We saw this in the series itself: Luffy is confronted to Ao Kiji early and realise he needs to get stronger but ultimately that doesn't help him at all against Ao Kiji and his peers next time he meets someone that strong (which incidentally includes Mihawk against whom Luffy is still powerless) because they're just too strong so he gets annihilated.
The final kick move from Luffy was his (Gomu gomu no, ONO) which roughly translate to Gum Gum axe, but he said Gum Gum Battle axe, which is more fitting since the reach really :P
There is so many little easter eggs for the anime watchers who are caught up… I would suggest watching the live action over again and realizing the little easter eggs that they planted so early on. There is a little nod in the episode where Mihawk meets luffy saying “I do like your hat” referencing the fact that by the last episode you find out that Mihawk knows Shanks. The opening scene of Roger’s execution shows Mihawk’s ship, young Mihawk, young Shanks, and two more young characters if you’re paying close enough attention.
As well as a tease for Season 2 in Zoro’s introduction
If you like Mihawk design, there is a video of the actor getting out into full make up and gear.
Nerdy please show *The Breathtaking World of One Piece* vídeo to Clarus and if you dont watch it yet would be way better, its a vídeo that shows places and Islands without context spoilers
And/or *The Appeal of One Piece: Where To Start.*
Clarus 100% would not watch the anime just because of sanji and his simp jokes
They already signed off on a season 2 months ago. Oda, the creator of one piece, filmed a cool announcement and uploaded it onto youtube.
I'm fairly new fan of One Piece myself. I actually started the anime after watching the awesome Netflix live action series! I had no complaints about the live action, but after watching the anime the ONLY thing I wish they added was the fishman Hachi. I understand it would've been a difficult task to recreate him, but the Arlong Park fight scene is known for each Straw Hat member squaring up with a different Fishman. Usopp and Sanji had their moments, but if they recreated Zoro taking on the Six Sword style to live action that would've been the cherry on top to the final episode.
I've enjoyed watching your reactions to this series, definitely excited for Season 2! Looking forward to the "Believe in Wonderland" OST.
That was so good to watch you guys reaction, wish Clarus was at the anime reactions as well
+1
I love that this adaptation, unlike so many others that lean towards a dark adaptation or being edgy and cool, is just sincere, wears its heart on its sleeve and is full of goofiness and leaning into the silliness and colorfulness of this world!
"He spent a lot of money on that face!" Daaaaamn gierl ! Clarus! 💯 Spot on! 🤣🤣🤣 that was hilarious!
The Going Merry being the finale algorithm goddess choked me up a little.
Loved your reactions. ❤❤❤ loved the changes, more screentime for the marines especially coby and helmeppo. ❤
adored the reactions big thanks guys!~ binged them all, just going back and commenting on the ones i forgot since i was so rushed to get to the next lol
I’m not much of one for anime or manga. Seen Akira about 50 times, but that’s it lol. Didn’t think I’d enjoy this live action series.
But gawd damn… this show is fucking awesome. Great story, awesome score, perfectly cast and amazing sets.
Would love to see you both react to “The Breathtaking World of One Piece” loved the LA reaction and of course love the anime reactions on the other channel! ❤️
Nerdy went absolutely feral this episode
yep smoker could have been easily cut since he is only a small part of the series. I am just really happy they decided to include him with such a small role in the actual anime
the showrunners initially had 2 more episodes planned out, but their budget ran out, so Smoker and Loguetown were cut/pushed back.
the choreographers for Yu Yu Hakusho live action should win something too if this is already up there
This series focuss to story
A little Spoiler for the manga: when you say "parental figures in one piece are not great" i can only think wait until you met kuma
Or Kyros
Did you see Breathtaking World of One Piece already? The true One Piece trailer :)
This was so great to binge-watch. I'm happy you guys enjoyed the show so much.
33:45 - "I'm ahead of this by quite a bit."
People who have watched the whole thing: "Oh you sweet, sweet summer child." 😂
It's possible to watch all of the anime in a year if one watches 3 episodes in a day. The actual episodes without recap are 20 min long so that would be an hour per day. It takes dedication for sure.
Probem is One Piece OG Anime is like 50% recap flashbacks. Hopyfully in the remake it gets better.
@@xCwieCHRISx thats why one has to use the skip forward button.
Oh, also Garp in the manga stops wearing his hat as soon as you get the grandad reveal.
He only wore it to stop people who read the one-shot pilot manga from realisimg he was Luffy's grandfather.
he technically isn't bulletproof, he is capable of defending against old school ball bearing rounds but a modern round would kill him
I'd love to see you two as Garp and his second in command
Bogard?
I love this series. I’m caught up to the latest chapters of the manga and I’ve been at it for a while. My biggest concern about the show was whether they would embrace the goofiness of the characters and the interactions they have but they really went all in. The cuts they made to side characters was understandable even tho I love Patty’s character and I wish we could have gotten more of him but they twisted the story in a way that made it easy to understand for people that had no idea what the world was about because looking back at the early story, it is a bit overwhelming at first and compressing almost the entire first arc into eight episodes is actually insane because there is so much to it but they did it brilliantly. Can’t wait for Smoker and season 2.
One Pieces ability to get people to reach the suspension of belief is top notch and the Live Actions commitment to that is what makes it work.
I'm so excited for season 2 because I bet we are going to meet Smoker and Chopper and ROBIN! Woooooooo!
Someone said : Everyone watching One Piece gets baptized with their own tears.
“Luffy does not understand the three cheers thing” PLEASE IM DEAD I never even noticed
My dad, who hasn't watched an episode of any anime in his life, liked this season so much he considered watching One Piece to get more content! He didn't yet and he can't stand the "weird" voices, so i don't think he will, but the fact he considered it at all shows me how great this season was!
Can't wait for season 2! I'm waiting for news on casts and stuff every day lol
Love from Belgium 🇧🇪 ❤ Great Finally ❤❤
Glad you enjoyed Battle Axe!
Aside from all the technicals, writing, and performances, the tone of the show is delightful.
I love me some grim-dark or super-serious stuff but it’s just as nice when the fare is joyful and hopeful.
"They're going full fantasy, they're not trying to explain anything..."
IOW, no Midi-chlorians, right?
I'm not in love with all the changes they made, but I still think they did a great job with the LA, especially when considering the limitations of live action and available time. I'm looking forward to next season.
The LA cast off ceremony, showing them as kids, that was _better_ than the anime, IMO.
I'm in my 30s I watched the early one piece episodes when they came out
why do I only now realize :
Shanks can't unrole the wanted poster himself
BECAUSE HE ONLY HAS ONE ARM
Also, it's never shown that mail is delivered by Seagull, the newspapers are. Spoilers here, but that's because the person that writes the newspaper is a giant Seagull
The Going Merry is the Goddess in the hearts of the fandom. If you know, you know.
(Btw, does reverse psychology work on Clarus? I think she might be afraid of the emotional abuse the anime could could throw at her if she dared to watch it... Hint hint.)
Going to guess this won’t be the last time Merry is the algorithm goddess
You could ask her if she'll watch the anime when the re-adaption comes out
One piece has great parents! They just get killed off....
Great show and adaptation,hope we get season 2 fast :)
he said gum gum battle axe, because he has the gum gum fruit and because he used an Axe kick
On Alvida: look at the actress's social media, they won't *need* to recast her if you know what I mean...
The finale!!! Such a great show
Just think, there's an alternate reality where Oda made Luffy a marine and the anime involved him climbing the ranks in the marines dreaming of capturing the king of the pirates.
Helmeppo x Koby MENTIONED!!!
I think the worst mistake season 2 can make is slowing down. We have so much source material that there is no reason to take the foot off the gas and continue to hit story beat after story beat ever episode.
When the biggest complaint people have is that they wanted more, you know they did aight.
On a related note, my biggest hope for season 2 is that they get at least 10 episodes. You could cover it in that time, but my wet dream would be 12 episodes (I know, prolly way too expensive for that.)
FWIW the show runner was asked, because they did the barrel scene already, if it was possible they might skip Loguetown, and said Absolutely Not.
They’re definitely not skipping Loguetown for 2 reasons: It introduces Smoker & Dragon, who are major recurring characters throughout the series, & it’s where Zoro gets Yubashiri & Sandai Kitetsu, the 2 swords he gets to replace the ones that broke in his duel with Mihawk.
I think season 1 suppose to be 10 episode but they not have budget anymore.
The only character i wish was there was hatchan. But that wouldve been a super fifficult character to make
Nezumis "hat" are his actual ears.
Fishman Karate / Cobra Koi.
Also one point many people don't know, Oda already said the main strawhats are Luffy, Nami and Zoro, those 2 are the right and left hand of Luffy, you will notice that every important moment in the anime, it's always one of the two that is with luffy at the time, so the show with limited time decided to focus on those 3, that's one of the reasons, sanji and usopp had less screen time.
Sad this is the last! Cant wait for season 2
Really loving your TV show and movie reactions. I really do hope you guys will be able to do K-drama reactions. I'd love to see you guys check out either The Glory or Moving. :)
2 of the best recent K-dramas I've seen although my all-time favorite is Signal which is an older drama
They definitely did a great job! What i think is lacking, due to the style and time, is all the introspection the characters go trough during some scenes, i.e., here usopp is more of a goofy friend than a coward, he has his own internal battle while fighting the fishmen which gives him more depth to his victory in the anime, while here, he came up with a witty plan, so newcomers don't see him becoming that brave warrior he tries to be
karate vs savat actually and an interesting fact, modern karate style kicks actually come from savat so sanji technically is using older kicking techniques
I rewatch it so many times already and you can rewatch it in Japanese dub by your own. This season was supposed to be 10 episodes but was cut short due to lack of budget...
I really enjoyed your reactions and can't wait for you to watch the second season. 🤗
If they manage to do that well, it will be even more insane. In the manga "East Blue" is kinda the "worst" saga. Which is insane that the worst saga is still that good.
And it just keeps getting better and better. One of the last chapters (1102) was imo the best chapter in manga history. 😉
PS maybe she might be open to reading the manga? It's way faster (and way better) and a very good read. It's the most popular manga in history for a reason.
