Just wondering what people who have watched Netflix’s new One Piece series think.

They don’t have the greatest track record with anime adaptions so I’m afraid to watch it. I thought Cowboy Bebop was alright. Although they kind of butchered Vicious and Julia, imo, the people who played Spike and Jet did well enough that it was able to sustain my interest for awhile but not long enough to finish it. Death Note was barely like the original at all. The only good thing I can say was Lakeith Stanfield’s L portrayal and Willem Dafoe’s Ryuk.

But this series seems to be trending, so maybe they’ve finally done it?

    it was pretty good but I was hoping to see jango and luffy did the arm holding thing a bit much, but maybe I don’t remember the early episodes that well and he did that a lot back then too, some of the colourful hair dyes come off more as cheap wigs and as less of a complaint and more of a “huh” type thing luffy’s accent really comes through when he talks about becoming the king of the pirates

      No one two jango was maybe the biggest miss, otherwise pretty good… especially given the absurdity of making one piece live action.

      I really liked luffys accent… fit the character for me. Sanjis too.

        Ya no the accent was fine just it was interesting how it was so strong and consistent when luffy said he’d be the king of the pirates
