One Piece Live Action series [Netflix] (Season 2 confirmed)
Well, no point in delaying this any further, I suppose.... especially now that the main cast has been confirmed. So yeah, the title's pretty self-explanatory: OP is getting a live action adaption! Gonna reserve my judgment for now since the project is still in its early stages. At least we know Oda gave the show his blessing, so... I guess there's that?
 That being said, discuss away!Edit: An addendum, courtesy of OH&S: Quote:

I just pray that nothing akin to stuff like Faye's "actress" from the Netflix Cowboy Bebop series and her antics (plus hypocrisy) doesn't come up.
It's going to be... interesting to see how they manage to pull off Luffy's Gomu Gomu no Mi abilities, or Zoro's Santoryu Swordsmanship skills. |

As it hasn't been brought up, I would like to bring to attention the legendary Reverie stream from September 21, 2020 in which the top YouTube One Piece reviewers/reactors gathered together for a big One Piece discussion but then got a surprise visit by the writer of the One Piece live action series: Matt Owens.
In my opinion, this discussion/interview is essentially recommended viewing in order to get a more clearer grasp on what's going on behind the scenes of the live action series. Its very revealing of some of the considerations being made as well as the thought processes governing the writing. Matt Owens comes on at 54:35 and leaves at 1:52:15 (but I think 1:53:37 is a good stopping point for the lolz). If marvelB could append this info to the first post, that would be swell.

I'm pretty possitive about the live action. The actors have the potential to play the characters in a satisfying way and I don't need a 1 to 1 adaption if the main beats/emotions are there.
Only thing I'm a bit worried about is chemnistry between the actors. The age gap between Luffy's actor and Nami's actress is a whole decade after all. Might be hard for a natural closeness. And even with script changes a lot of East Blue rests on the development of understanding between Luffy and Nami. There were often times they were alone in which Nami learned what Luffy's version of a pirate and treasure is (Treasure-Straw Hat talk in the house, Shushu's burning shop+its revenge, Straw hat damage in the Buggy fight, refusal to give Gaimon the treasure chests, after the Kuro fight). All needed to build up the "help me" moment, which is the climax of the East Blue Saga. |

I can't think of any conceivable way this could turn out to be good. One Piece is probably the one manga that just can't work in live action. The story is going to be butchered because they obviously can't afford to give it hundreds of episodes. Speaking of which, even with the highest budget a TV series had ever gotten, this would still be unable to do the manga justice. The characters are constantly traveling and going to very different places, and you'd also need a lot of budget for the special effects.
I don't know why they're bothering.

Looks like Oda is having regular online meetings and checks if scenes carry the creator's intent according to a podcast with Ted Biasell (Director of Original Series Netflix) and corrects the Netflix team if they got it wrong.
One Piece was just a very brief side-topic for liek 3 minutes, so that was pretty much the only mention of it. |
