Not My Kind of Show. But This I Loved.

[trwbxcpr · 9/10 · 4 September 2023]

I'm a 60yo man & old school like the The Marine Admiral 😄. I've never heard of One Piece anime, in fact I'm not into anime at all. But this, this was a complete experience, it is bloody addictive.

The main characters optimism & acceptance of others pursuing their dreams regardless of whether or not he agrees with them or indeed they're the dreams of his enemies is a thing of beauty. The kids attitude to his fellow man is admirable & his attitude toward pursuing his own life should serve as a lesson to us all.

The other characters come together nicely too, each different but each with unique problems & gifts - they gel nicely.

I can't put my finger on why I loved this show, I just did. It's quirky, it's violent, it's gentle, it's about battles, friendships, dreams, courage, fear & loyalty, & all of it done meaningfully.

It's also beautiful to look at.

I hope there is a season 2. It deserves to continue.

Bravo 👏

Never seen the anime and still enjoyed it

[Supermanfan-13 · 8/10 · 4 September 2023]

I have to admit that I've never watched any of the animated show One Piece or even heard about it for that matter. I'm really not a big fan of anime. Then after watching the trailers for this I thought it looked like a show for children. I was wrong. I kept reading about how good this show is and how it's #1 on Netflix so I thought I'd give it a chance. I'm glad I did because I couldn't have been more wrong. This is a show where people of all ages can enjoy. If you can just turn off your brain and watch I promise you'll have a good time. If you're looking for a new show to binge then give One Piece a try. You won't be disappointed!

I'm Shocked By How Good This Is...

[rxckne · 8/10 · 1 September 2023]

Every live action anime that I've briefly seen has been nothing short of a disaster, and considering how many times Netflix tried to bring Anime's to life I thought One Piece was about to receive the same fate. But to my surprise I was wrong.

Just 3 episodes in you could tell the care the creators put into this show. The set designs, the action sequences, and even to my surprise the actors bring so much.

Iñaki Godoy as Luffy is to my surprise holding his own in this role. Luffy is such a love or hate character and imagining a live action for him seems like a recipe for disaster. But Godoy somehow is able to maintain the goofiness within the character without making him unbearable, and that deserves some applause. I think Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Morgan Davies, and Jacob Romero are great as well.

And as someone who's only watched the first 10-15 episodes of One Piece, I love the route they went with Buggy in episode 2 compared to the beginning of the Anime/Manga. Jeff Ward made him extremely terrifying in the show and the way they used the crowd as prisoners, forcing them to clap was slightly terrifying.

I wasn't even sure if they'd do the iconic Shanks moment early on for budget reasons, but they did it and it was actually great. Not to say everything is perfect because at times the show can get a little too cartoony for me, but my low expectations were blown away. I'm glad to see the awful live action anime stereotype take a hit and potentially make room for other people who aspire to bring an anime to life, and even with a very small chance, potentially do it justice like we saw here.

It's only season 1 and there is plenty of room for error, but I'm glad to say I've been proven wrong and I actually have hope for this adaptation.

See Netflix?? You CAN do it...

[alrightwerewatchingit · 10/10 · 4 September 2023]

This is bar none one of the best live-action adaptions to any animated source material I have ever seen. I have been a diehard One Piece fan since I was a preteen; it was one of the first manga I ever read and I still watch it to this day. Admittedly, when I first saw a remake was in the works and saw the promos for it, I could feel myself almost instinctively getting nauseous. I saw the characters and bauked at the mere aesthetics of the show, let alone the other details. My heart sank into a pit as I pleaded pitifully in my head, "Please, PLEASE don't touch this one. I still haven't recovered from the massacring of Avatar TLA, Dragonball Evolution (I know those weren't Netflix, but still), Death Note, AND FullMetal Alchemist, please don't destroy something else from my childhood just for the sake of playing pretend and trying to get subscriptions ."

But lo and behold, I watched the trailer for it and every previously described feeling of dread in me was evaporated by a sudden rush of euphoria and excitement. I had goosebumps on my goosebumps and my heart was in my throat. I immediately resubscribed to Netflix and began watching and MY-GOSH, guys.

I will restate that this is the best adaption of any source material I've ever seen. I will warn you the more "human" looking rendition of the characters takes some getting used to, but my gosh, it's all there - the humor, the action, the heart, and barely a single editorial or filmographic choice is wasted. You're not going to find a cut-by-cut (no pun intended, Zoro) rendition of the original story, but that actually works here and keeps things moving and working in a cohesive way.

For first time fans or devoted veterans like me, you could not ask for a better introduction to an anime series in this medium. Please give it a chance.

WE WANT SEASON 2

[bs-55465 · 10/10 · 31 August 2023]

Being a one piece fan myself, I was a bit insecured about starting the series but boy do I never got off my bed through all these 8 episodes. The Live Adaptation is way beyond my expectations and I seriously cried and laughed along every emotional and comforting moment. NETFLIX PLEASE RELEASE SEASON 2. The portrayal of Monkey D Luffy was perfect as well as other characters. Every Episode had its own main character and the introduction to each and every straw pirate crew was done with utmost respect and love 💕. Can't wait for more pirate crew members to be introduced in the later seasons especially Nico Robin.

Refreshingly Fun

[johnspringer-95440 · 8/10 · 16 September 2023]

Parenthetically I don't know anything about the source material in particular or anime in general.

The series is compulsively watchable for several reasons.

The first is the world-building. The setting is fantastical but the show makes it effortlessly understandable and relatable.

The second is the characters. The characters here are mostly tropes but they're so likeable and well-realized by the performers that you can't help getting invested in them.

The third is the sense of light-hearted positivity that pervades the series. It touches on some pretty dark issues but the show and its irrepressibly-optimistic protagonist always have a positive outlook. People's faith in one another is actually rewarded rather than being mocked or denigrated. Image that in 2023.

Not an anime fan, but this a fun adventure!

[whjgmnt · 9/10 · 4 September 2023]

My kids play and watch One Piece anime and love it! I wasn't terribly interested, but decided to give it a go. I'm glad I did! I enjoyed most of the Witcher (played the games as well), but in all honesty, this show is just more entertaining (yes, i realize a different genre but i was thrilled for the witcher series). The characters, especially Buggy (the clown), are well acted, fights scenes different and action-packed, and the cgi is rather good...that sea dragon should be in GoT or House of the Dragon! Now i have a fun show where i can kickback and relax, discuss the show with my kids, and now i'm a slightly intrigued about the game/anime. Thanks netflix, season 2 please!

The live action curse breaker

[lonewolf-29261 · 9/10 · 31 August 2023]

Despite the negative reviews from some people who judged the series before watching it, I decided to give it a chance and watch the first episode. I was really surprised by how well they adapted the story from the manga, even though they made some changes to the plot. The changes did not affect the overall narrative and actually added some depth and complexity to the characters and the setting. The production value was impressive, with realistic costumes, props, special effects and PRACTICAL SETS. It felt like I was watching a movie rather than a TV show.

The first episode left me wanting more and curious about how the series will progress. I hope they will keep up the quality and the faithfulness to the source material.

Already looking forward to next season

[Rob1331 · 8/10 · 16 September 2023]

One Piece has definitely lived up to all the hype surrounding it. One Piece is based off the anime show of the same name. It's about a guy named Monkey D. Luffy and his pirate crew. They explore the fantasy world of oceans and exotic islands in the search for the worlds ultimate treasure and the right to be called the Pirate King. Yes, it sounds like a kiddy version of Pirates of the Caribbean but it's not. As you can see it's gotten great ratings from fans and critics alike with a 8.5 score here and a 83% on Rotten Tomatoes. This is definitely going to be one of Netflix's next big shows. I just finished season one and already looking forward to next season.

It's not perfect but it's not terrible either

[tylerlee-21480 · 6/10 · 1 September 2023]

Review bombing 1/10 and 10/10 seems to always come from the fandoms of whatever the adaptation is. I love One Piece the journey has taken me on over the last few years. That being said I had I went into this having low expectations but my hopes were high for it to succeed. Zoro is the best part of the anime as he is this adaptation. They took their liberties with the source material but overall it keeps the spirit of One Piece. So far I have found it enjoyable as I watch. As long I'm not nitpicking the changes apart and being over critical. As a stand alone series this is a solid series that most can find enjoyable.

Wow! Just Big Wow!!

[mofs12 · 10/10 · 31 August 2023]

GREAT ADAPTATION! As an old-school fan (since 2006) I can say that this was made with love for old fans and new fans! Welcome to the grand line! Next stop! The new world! I want season 2, 3, 4, 5! Etc Make it happen Netflix! You should be working on Chopper, looking for Robin, Ace, and Vivi... The cast is great, and the locations and CGI are on point! The small changes are OK, and it does not feel like forced. The chemistry is natural, and the scripts are well made.... as Oda-san said "This is good and can be better", I will watch this several times and with the different dubs! ENJOY NAKAMAS!!

For a live adaptation great work but it isn't for me

[Kingofthehill00 · 6/10 · 3 September 2023]

The live adaptation is a breath of fresh air for old one piece fans and great to start for new one piece fans.

But this show just isn't for me,I like one piece for the humour,the fight scenes,the plot and the emotional pick me up scenes.

This has only the plot with many characters cut out which is fine I guess but they forgot the humour and pivotal fight scenes .. For example luffy fight with arlong needs to be a bit longer,luffy fight with don Krieg should have been present since it shows luffy's guts and is one of the main reasons why sanji believes in luffy's strength.just a few examples

I don't mind more of this since I am a big fan of one piece but cutting out character arcs about why the main characters are the way they are will bite the showrunners in the long run.

Anyway decent binge watch but not for me.

I guess I'm the only one who doesn't love it?

[kustarnagylenke · 4/10 · 12 October 2023]

I watched about 300 episode of the original anime and I loved it but I never thought I would enjoy a live action anime and I still don't think I ever will. Here are my main issues with it: 1. This isn't really one piece. They drastically changed the story. And for the worst may I add. It felt like I was watching an alternative universe fanfic that someone decided to make a film for. I way prefer the original story. Some scenes just felt empty compared to what we've seen in the anime. To me a lot of the emotional impact was lost with nami's betrayal. Would it really hurt to make her look like the bad guy for a few episodes? Instead arlong comes to baratie so it feels like she wouldn't even have gone back if he hadn't come for Luffy. In the anime I at least was afraid if she actually betrayed them. Here it was clear that she didn't. Or at least didn't want to.

2. World building and magical elements. One piece is a world full of very bizarre phenomenons like the restaurant in the middle of the sea or the clown pirate that can be chopped up and reassembled. So the most reasonable medium to convey such a fairy tale like story would be animation, wouldn't it? (Yes it would and it was). So why do we need a live action? So netflix can get even richer? It just feels like a lot of the magic of the original is lost here.

3. Dialogue. The dialogue wasn't funny. Like at all. There was one scene total that made me laugh but I don't even remember what that was now. Most of the dialogue is just meant to be oh-so witty but it comes out being cringe or weird. And I don't feel like any of the actors made these lines sound less awkward to be honest.

4. The characters. First of all why is garp here? This show just spoiled the real one piece for me thanks so much for that. Second of all why do they ALL look like they're cosplaying. Nami's wig (or is it dyed hair?) looks fake as hell. All of the people with colorful hair look like they're wearing cosplays from AliExpress. Maybe it's just me but i can't unsee it now. To be completely honest usopp is the only one who looks like he could actually be an actor playing usopp and not a guy who bought a cheap costume. I'm not even going to mention shanks... 5. Show not tell. I feel like this show fails on that point pretty often. I mean, when nami told Zoro in a coma what she felt it was kind of stupid. She didn't explain her feelings in the og like that. And she didn't need to because the audience is not stupid and we understand from the story.

6. The story itself. Why do we need to change a good story if we can't write a better one? If I look at this show as a standalone piece completly separate from its source material, I have to say it was mid. It was forgettable. It was boring. It seemed like things are just happening but because of the show's faster pace we don't even have time to take it in and think about it. Here's a new character oops he's a bad guy and he died but he's alive but here's a new character and we repeat this cycle through the series.

This is all just my opinion but I think one piece live action never had any potential and sadly it didn't change my mind in the end. But I'm glad people like it...

Campy, silly, and so much fun

[gknuwmt · 9/10 · 2 September 2023]

I've never watched the anime or read the manga before, and honestly, wasn't fully sold by the trailer, but after I started watching it, I was hooked. I did not expect to enjoy this show as much as I did. The actors were well cast and the story was fun and compelling. You really get to like the characters, both heroes and villains, and want to see what happens to them. There's also a lot of heart to the story that goes beyond cliches. It was probably tricky to adapt an anime series into a live action format, and I feel it struck the right balance, and succeeded where other adaptations didn't.

Now I'm going to have to start watching the anime series, and it's a good thing Netflix has them.

Netflix had better renew this for more seasons or I'm canceling my subscription. After I watch the anime series, though.

People need to stop comparing...

[Celreo · 10/10 · 31 August 2023]

Evaluate the show on its own merits rather than drawing comparisons with the anime series. The show presents a unique interpretation of the idea, rendering direct comparisons illogical and potentially distorting the accuracy of other reviews.

Regarding the show itself, it undeniably offers an impressive viewing experience. It ranks among the most captivating series I've encountered recently. The action sequences are skillfully executed, and the integration of comedy is seamless, resulting in a flawless amalgamation.

It's perplexing why certain individuals have awarded the show a low rating. From my perspective, the show possesses its own distinctive charm, and I particularly appreciate the implementation of CGI and the cast's performances. With the hope of a second season, it's important to acknowledge that the show diverges from the original anime but maintains its own intrinsic value. In my strong recommendation, I encourage you to give it a watch.

Best show of the year!!

[danyfs12 · 10/10 · 31 August 2023]

Initially I was apprehensive because of anime adaptation productions for live action. I've been watching and reading onepiece for 20 years and this series so represents the spirit of this work that I love so much. I was very happy with the result!

And I have to say , Honestly, the best live action anime adaptation I've ever seen. This is coming from someone who loves One Piece. So, I was looking for reasons to criticise it, and there are some flaws.. but there were also things this series improved on the original. Overall, I you all should watch it , totally recommend it. Its a great! Lets go season 2!!!!

It feels like One Piece

[Hallager2505 · 9/10 · 31 August 2023]

While the live action adaptation of One Piece does not shy away from taking creative liberties, by removing or changing plot points, it still perfectly captures the essence and tone of the original story. The world is sufficiently strange and intriguing, and the special effects, mostly, do not feel out of place or distracting. A 90% score might seem a bit too high when compared to other well received shows, like Breaking Bad or the first few seasons of Game of Thrones, but rating OPLA for what it is: an adaptation of the One Piece manga, I can think of very few concrete changes to improve it, so by that metric it is indeed almost perfect.

I was hesitant to start, but then couldn't stop

[Short_and_to_the_point · 10/10 · 6 September 2023]

So I binged this in one day. I had no idea it was a manga until after I had watched it, but still enjoyed the concept. I can see how it would have been based off a manga now.

It was silly and fun, but with adult style violence. I would recommend this over and over.

The acting was brilliant, the costumes were brilliant and the concept is brilliant. It's so nice to have a lighthearted show on Netflix. I have been getting over the amount of drama/FBI type shows.

I don't think I have any faults when it comes to this show.

Get comfy and be prepared to want to watch the next episode every time.

Bring on season 2, 3, 4 and 5.

WE ARE ONE

[gathoza · 10/10 · 31 August 2023]

GREAT ADAPTATION!

As an old-school fan (since 2006) I can say that this was made with love for old fans and new fans!

Welcome to the grand line! Next stop! The new world!

I want season 2, 3, 4, 5! Etc Make it happen Netflix!

You should be working on Chopper, looking for Robin, Ace, and Vivi...

The cast is great, and the locations and CGI are on point!

The small changes are OK, and it does not feel like forced.

The chemistry is natural, and the scripts are well made.... as Oda-san said "This is good and can be better", I will watch this several times and with the different dubs! ENJOY NAKAMAS!

I'm conflicted....

[I3R0K3N7FEET · 7/10 · 2 September 2023]

Long time fan of one piece and know pretty much everything about one piece and some rabbit hole fan theories to boot. So my perspective is from that angle.

With that out the way... There is a great deal I enjoyed about this series. But to keep things simple it's best I just list pros-cons.

+ cast is outstanding 👏

• The writing is sloppy

+ The acting is amazing

• The direction is sloppy

+ The action is awesome

• why is Luffy so weak?

+ the CGI is amazing, and some scenes are breathtaking and capture the essence one piece.

• The videography feels like college students D movie with pointless angles and motion...

+ Den Den mushi are f#@££ing hilarious 😂

• music is crap in most places and should have reused some more original score rather than generic hollywood trumpets and orchestra.

+ Some story changes actually made sense.

• some changes might mess up future plotlines

+ Garp is awesome

• Why is Koby getting so much screen time?

+ Mihawk and Shanks nailed it.

• again why is Luffy so weak?

+ Zoro got lost

• failed to carry over other jokes

+ I loved Kaya and Usopp

• Kuro episode was a drag.

+ Going merry looks great

• except it's gaping wide mouth

+ perfectly balance adult themes and goofiness

• could have been more graphic in some scenes and needed more blood.

+ Sanji and Zoro yes....

There are other things I'd liked to have seen including the unique laughs... You kinda hear them sometimes but fails to hit. This was especially important for arlong in this period.

Some info was revealed very early too which makes me wonder how they will bridge later events should the series go the whole length.

Overall I enjoyed it, but it's clear the team making the series don't know how to use the budget they have correctly, the poor videography, directing and writing is CLEARLY being carried by the existing story and great acting, which is embarrassing tbh.

Netflix can make something great

[oceansroar · 10/10 · 11 September 2023]

I was so surprised that Netflix made something that was incredible. I am a new fan of One Piece anime and I had only seem as few of the episodes when I heard that Netflix was releasing a live action of One Piece.

As I watched the first few episodes I could see that they had stuck closely to the source material. I got more and more excited with each episode.

Everything is awesome! All the actors are incredible. Each one embodies his or her character as if it was written for them. I especially love Iñaki Godoy, the actor who plays Monkey D. Luffy self proclaimed "King of the Pirates". He is an amazing actor.

The story is about friendship and protecting your friends and their dreams even if you don't agree.

There has never been a pirate series or film that is better than One Piece. I will be rewatching it often.

Netflix's One Piece: A Good Production That's Not My Style

[ruidanielbarrossss · 7/10 · 31 August 2023]

I've never seen the original anime, even though I like fantasy and sci-fi genres.

But I couldn't get into the comedy tone and the overall feel of this live-action adaptation, even after watching more than half of the season. It just didn't appeal to me.

I don't want to be harsh on this production, because it's well-done. It has heart, likable actors, and good quality overall. And I do think that Netflix has a potential winner here, which many fans of the anime, and maybe some newcomers, will love and applaud.

But I'm someone who prefers content that's more serious, even if just a bit. The tone of this series is too nonsensical for my taste. It's typical of certain animes, which I never enjoyed. But many others did.

If you like hyperbolic and juvenile narratives, this could be for you. Otherwise, give it a try for the first 3 episodes. If you're still not hooked, it's probably not worth the binge.

An Attempt poorly Attempt this is no curse breaker

[viatorneutral · 5/10 · 31 August 2023]

Hollywood just loves to give their own view on something that they know they can't fully "adapt", the entire series is just an amalgamation, and not a well done one, the "adaptations" are all so unnecessary it's like you're not hoping to get new people to read the manga/anime because there is not good pacing.

This whole show it's super rushed it feels like the showrunners just expect people not to have any patience and get everything out of the way as fast as possible and since they didn't had a sure fire way to do that they rope in enemies from completely different arcs who had nothing to do with each other in an attempt to connect mingle everything together which doesn't really work because the point was having a main villain in the manga.

The plot line with Koby and Helmeppo some parts got cut which defeated the entire purpose of Helmeppo's change of heart being Koby's courage! WHYY?! For some reason Garp is following Luffy desperatly which is not really in character because he always let him do his thing. After all, Garp had more important things to DO!

The reveal of GARP being Luffy's Grandpa was soo underwhelming it was so random too the crew BEARLY even reacted I guess they justified it because they bearly know Luffy; it kinda makes sense because of the horrible bit of how Zoro and Nami kept saying "they were not in the crew!" BUT ZORO WAAS, THEY MADE A PROMISE WHEN ZORO WAS CAPTURE AND HE KEPT UP WITH IT, But the Garp thing that wasn't even supposed to happen until further LIKE WHY?? We literally didn't need to know they could've easily not mentioned anything because that's what Marines do chase and capture Pirates. Luffy ISN'T EVEN SCARED OF HIM WHYY?!!! BECAUSE OF COURSE AMERICANS NEED TO SANITIZE THE HELL OUT OF WITH GARP NOT BEING ROUGHT WITH LUFFY, He wants to fight???? WHAT IS THIS WRITING?!! The small little cannon balls just don't make it exciting, in the anime/manga they made A WAY better job showcasing Garp's strength

Characters, they were all mostly okay, Usopp was the one I was most excited to see how it was portrayed but it was a bit of a let down to see how he acted THEY TOOK AWAY HIS FIIGHT!!! WHYY???! He acted just once and he's so soft spoken there was no Fake confidence like it's characteristic from him!

Nami was alright too, tho I didn't like that they didn't took into consideration that Nami doesn't really needed to fight because she is the type of girl who would let others do the heavy lifting for her so she would always rely on Luffy and Zoro.

Zoro was good too, his choreographies were great.

Sanji, they completely butchered his moment with Zeff It was horrible, they didn't build to Sanji didn't struggle he literally had his stuff packed already, and like nothing he got up, no emotion no nothing, is like Sanji wasn't even rescued; also he did say meat cuts so I'll add bonus points for that, they removed the scene where Zeff gave his feet for him and Sanji never knew, just bad writing all over.

Luffy was a bit of a mixed bag some lines were not delivered well and obviously, some emotions weren't in place for certain scenes but overall it was alright too.

The Arlong Park walk was butchered too, it was night and they waited a whooole night? To go to Arlong park, since Johnny and Yosaku were completely erased the moment where they said to the villagers that they were waiting for HIM was completely gone was bad choice, Luffy's entrance was not as exciting as in the anime which is already a huge letdown, THEY TOOK AWAY BELLMERE'S MOMENT TOO! She was soo badasss when she fight for her daughters with how she TACKLE HIM and put a gun straight to his mouth incredible and completely EREASED, They only kept how she gave her life crying.

I don't have a good feeling about how they could handle the appearance of certain characters because they only work on a fictional setting like Wapol or CHOPPER (OMG PLS NOO I DON'T WANNA SEE HOW THEY MASSACRE HIM)

Overall I think this is a """success""" with BIG quotes because the bar for Live Actions is EXTREMLY low , they tried to adapt the story and I can appreciate but I don't think they did a job to guaranty a 2nd season, specially by how fast they tried to soar through everything, as a One Piece fan since it's beginning I hope they just put this Live Action to rest, it was a great attempt they deserved the cheers but ultimately the Manga/anime remain the BEST AND ONLY way One Piece could work because that's how the world works.

Are you kidding me?

[nishantsalhotrans · 10/10 · 6 September 2023]

I've never seen the anime so I had zero context about it. I've been on the side where you've seen/read the original source material and hated the live-action adaptation. So I did start this show with a bit of a bias towards the expectation that it's not going to be great. It took a few minutes in the beginning to get used to it but man I don't remember the last show/movie that had my eyes glued to the screen like this.

I mean I can understand if the anime fans find some issues in it because I've kinda been there (everyone loved TLOU TV show but I couldn't not compare it to the games. I noticed so many minute details about the behavior and expressions of some characters in the TV adaptation that made me think things like "that's not what Joel would do"). So I can't fault the people who watched the Anime for not liking some bits. But being a neutral, I found this show exceptionally entertaining to the point that I just started ignoring the minor flaws (like it doesn't have the best CGI or it does have a couple of cheesy dialogs) . It has to be 10/10 for me because has everything:

• Incredible characters and character development.

• Surprisingly, it has depth and makes you think. It's far from just a shallow copy-paste of the source material.

• Funny
• Thrilling
• Mysterious
• Wholesome.

DEFINITELY RECOMMEND

[videsxmyimg · 10/10 · 31 August 2023]

I've seen many Live Adaptations including of some famous Anime like AOT, cowboy, Death Note, bleach..... I'm not feeling proud to say 99% Live Adaptations failed including above and till now I had one name near perfect adaptation of manga(Alice in Borderland) but now I'm proud to say One Piece did pretty well with it's LA especially when this Anime has so wierd art style and yet did hell of a Live Adaptation. Idk but other Anime should also get some from this one in order to make decent LA in future. For this one, it's must watch to guys who really enjoy JOURNEY, ADVENTURE, EMOTIONAL STORYLINE, WORLD BUILDING, ACTION, DEPTH, BACKSTORIES, MYSTERIES.
