At some point you will give and watch the anime haha. You will NOT react ofcourse (understandably), but I'm sure you'll want to watch the show in its original form at some point. This series if anything has convinced people to watch the anime, its no surprise they are thinking of reanimating from the start.
I feel like I'm the only person who doesn't really like this portrayal of Buggy. But also idk I've just struggled to get into this adaptation, it doesn't have the tone or heart of the original for me, everything feels like it's adapted too efficiently, which makes it feel less organic. I've only seen the first saga of the anime (so everything the live action has adapted) so I'm not a longtime fan or anything, I just felt like just about every change made was for the worse. Great casting, sets, and fights, and there are moments where it all comes together well (especially in episode 1). But it just feels like the characters and plot have been stripped down to the point where it's like a wikipedia summary at best, none of emotion comes through for me. Like the Shanks stuff made me cry in the anime but I can't even take it seriously here tbh. I'm glad y'all are enjoying it though, maybe not having something to compare it to is better (although a lot of the anime fans liked it a lot too it seems).
You are just new to one piece anime. Once you get humbled by the absurd pacing in dressrossa arc like all of us(around 500 or 600 episode mark), you will feel like live action was much better. 馃ぃ Also because of this hazing/humbling experience, a lot of op fans are usually "less critical" about live action. Also since one piece in general is "fantastical", it can get away with such criticisms and have a successful live action adaptation.
i cant wait for next episode my favv boy is cominggg
avatar the last airbender live action coming out on february 22 and the trailer looks good :D
The funniest and maybe most interesting thing about LM and One piece anime is that, it is LITERALLY the type of anime that they will REALLY enjoy. The theories, roller coaster emotions, tears, characters and their development, humor, etc. But it will never happen sadly. And I think I'm okay with that now. I'm just glad they are seeing the live action and enjoying a bit of this master piece. Thank you! 馃挅
I hope they will give the upcoming remake a chance tho!

I'm thrilled because you guys are loving this series way more than I thought you would; I enjoyed it a lot as a One Piece fan but I wasn't sure how much of it was my fan goggles. One Piece dominates its field in heart and imagination, and I'm glad that came through. The remake and S2 of this live action will come out in the next couple of years. Hope we make it till then! :')
I was a One Piece hater before the live action. They really did an amazing job, the actors, directors, writers, everyone.
The One Piece live action is a perfect example of what happens when you give the story鈥檚 creator an integral part in the development process. This show works because Oda had a say in everything they did. But its not a copy and paste job, the live action is its own being, but it has the heart and soul of the source material. I wish all adaptations did this. Its so simple but it makes or breaks adaptations imo.
Buggy is a dumbass and thats why he鈥檚 a fan favorite. I think a lot of manga/anime fans are happy with the live action bc they do a good job with the characters but there鈥檚 definitely a lot of humor that鈥檚 cut out of this version, especially for characters like Nami and Zoro. Still, they do a really good job and a lot of one piece fans were hopeful when the project started because the original author worked very closely with the showrunners and had general veto power over changes. Theres a lot of fun behind the scenes interviews and footage you could watch after you get done with the season.
Since you talked about it: Here's a rough idea of how many Live Action Seasons are possible so far: Saga 1: 95 Chapters - 44 Anime Episodes - 8 Live Action Episodes (Season 1) Saga 2: 122 Chapters - 73 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 2) Saga 3: 84 Chapters - 52 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 3 part 1) Saga 5: 47 Chapters - 45 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 3 Part 2) Saga 4: 139 Chapters - 105 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 4) Saga 6: 108 Chapters - 126 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 5) Saga 7: 56 Chapters - 56 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 6 Part 1) Saga 8: 148 Chapters - 164 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 6 Part 2, Season 7) Saga 9: 107 Chapters - 135 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 8) Saga 10: 149 Chapters - 191 Anime Episodes - Live Action (Season 9) Saga 11: 46+ Chapters - 5+ Anime Episodes And currently One Piece is supposed to be in its final Saga, although I can't really take the word "final" seriously in the anime world anymore. I would expect 5 to 10 years of material still to come, so in the end it will probably be 12 to 14 Seasons.
I knew you would really love this one and love Shanks . That scene when he gives Luffy his hat gets me every time . Buggy was also amazing in the live action . Actor did an amazing job .
As someone who isnt a real big fan of the anime, Im glad you two are reacting to the live action
idk which one of you talked about it last week but you pointed out that normal clowns are scarier looking and i completely agree. as someone who has been afraid of clowns since i was a kid a regular clown is way scarier than this (mind you, i still find buggy really creepy and i would shit my pants if he was in front of me). for example, pennywise is way more scary for me in the original movie than in the remake. both tim curry and bill scarsgard did amazing, but the simplicity of the make up in the 1990 movie does it for me. i had nightmares for days after watching the movie. now to this, obviously haven't watched the reaction yet, but i remember enjoying the episode. my favourite part of the show is the dynamic between the characters and the relationship they have individually between each other. let's do your favourite thing... ranking the characters. which one do you think is going to be your favourite from the first impression?
nevermind, just started the intro and you talk about your potential favourites
I'm not a big fan of the way the world is drawn in anime and show, as it's difficult to depict a sphere in 2D. It's best to imagine our Earth, but along the prime meridian and the dateline in the Pacific Ocean would be a ring-shaped landmass dividing the eastern and western hemispheres, while the equator is the Grand Line. And now rotate the Earth a little so that the 4 seas now point north, east, south and west: https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/d/db/Onepiece-welt.png/640px-Onepiece-welt.png
The real Earth is tilted as well.
Buggy is played by Jeff Ward, who I know from Agents of SHIELD. A very good and underrated marvel show. Speaking of Marvel, would you guys ever consider checking out Daredevil? That feels like another show that could be right up yall girls alley.
The best show from Marvel so far. Sadly, the girls already started watching Daredevil on their own time but say it was not for them, so I don't know if they will give it another try.
I have confidence this will make you anime watchers馃檹馃徎
They will be perfect candidates for the anime remake in a couple years
