    I was 16 years old when I first watched One Piece anime. The manga was hard to come by in my country but the anime was being dubbed into my native language, and it was popular too. Now I'm 40 years old and still watching the anime every week when there's a new episode release, and reading the manga too.

    I think she touches quite nicely upon what people mean when they say: The source material hasn't been understood.
    If they were to simply show the fight scene between Mihawk and Zoro, faithfully adapting the Manga but cut out or rush over the reason for why they fight, the producer might say: 'Yeah, we did it like in the manga, it's just that we don't really know why they fight and that is what the manga conveys'.
    The producer wouldn't have understood the source material.

      Bruh, be easy on him. The guy hasn't read or watched One Piece when he interviewed Director Marc Jobst which means he's probably a little less than a month 'nakama'. I'm pretty sure a lot of fans before who are not aware of Japanese surname and first name placement thought the same. What's important is, there's a whole new wave of new fans that are getting into the manga/anime which is a big W for every one, especially to Oda-sensei!

    So far I'm every one of these interviews I've seen so far, it's all been with producers/directors/editors/etc who were given the incredible honor of turning this literally epic into live-action, yet seemingly none of them even knew what One Piece was or was about or anything beforehand... like, as a die-hard fan, and as someone who's been incredibly disappointed by Netflix adaptations before, this doesn't fill me with much faith at all... I believe it would be better to find a director that AT LEAST knows One Piece, if not outright is passionate about doing it and getting everything perfect... I hate being pessimistic, and TBH I'm not completely. The trailers have me VERY cautiously, somewhat optimistic. But I still haven't fully gotten the bad taste of Cowboy Bebop out of my mouth yet, so it's hard not to be a bit worried about it...
    I've also noticed that these interviews, or at least the ones I've seen so far, have all been conducted by people who were new to One Piece too, which is fine and honestly not the worst thing by any means in and of itself. But I can't help but feel that if I were the editor of a publication/media outlet, I would want to get a journalist who was an actual fan of the series prior to give the interview. That way, I would trust that they'd know what kind of questions to ask the cast/crew that fans of the manga/anime would care about most and want to know in order to help ease the minds of concerned fans. I mean, it's really not the biggest deal but it's just strange to me that almost no one involved with production nor the public relations side of things has any prior experience with this series...

    One thing I want to disagree on, one piece is serious. At least it gets serious as it goes on. I'd say this is one IP that truly grows up with you. Not that you can rewatch old scenes when you are an adult and see hidden meaning which you can. Also each big arc is a little bit darker than the one before it. I don't want to spoil anything for new comers. I do ask you go listen to Binks sake. It has an eng dub, the song is an original song by the newest crew mate. It is very upbeat in tone and lyrics. Tho if you dissect it the song is rather dark and depressing. That in a nutshell is one piece. Understand one piece is a tragedy not a comedy

      No, Oda himself has always stated that One Piece is about joy and freedom, there's a reason why Gear 5th is achieved through joy. Laughtale, Joy Boy, everything about One Piece is about laughing to overcome the sorrows of life.
      Bink's Sake is not about the sad context, in fact it was sung so that everyone can depart on a happy note, and that he can have a last happy memory with his friends. And now he is able to sing the song with even more joy as he finds a new family, it's a song about treating life as a funny traveling tale, that's how you get through life.

Big mom's tea party the wedding scene. Pudding has a break down from being called beautiful that is off set by an army of Luffy's exploding out of the cake, when Sanji learns the truth about pudding, it's intercut with Luffy screams how he's going to rip off his arms to escape and tells nami to do the same.
