Anime in general is with few exceptions absolute trash. Two frames mouth animation and the heads are triangles with circles as eyes. How can anyone like this crap?
Most of em are gen Zs and kids praising this crap. They never got to experience the era when craftsmanship was taken seriously, so this is their standard of good lol
Cosplay syndrome is the best way to explain it, you nailed it. I don't know what the obsession with live action adaptations is. To a large extent, the medium is what informs decisions the creative process. You don't write a movie and make the design decisions a comic book writer would, and if you're making a video game you don't make the decisions a novel writer would make. You don't use cartoon dialogue in a live action story. It just doesn't work. You play to the strengths of your medium. The anime isn't going anywhere, and it will always be the superior version of the story. These adaptations aren't "art", they're like little fan projects. You're not watching One Piece, you're watching what amounts to a theme park performance of One Piece. Like those little plays at Disney World. There's no vision to the project, it's just the TV equivalent of popcorn. Very little nutrition, but it'll keep you chomping and chewing for a while.
Bingo you said it best hell yu yu hakusho live action is a bad adaptation and even worse than one piece but their action scenes are way on point better than one piece because the actors are putting effort in and actually have talent put into it even tho half of it is cgi
Man you just spoke whatever was in my heart about the one piece live action. I thought I was the only one. THANK YOU. And the thing about the "Cosplay Syndrome"? That was exactly what was on my mind.
This is just how everyone was calling the last of us tv show a masterpiece. It was complete garbage. I can’t do live adaptation because it’s always awful and shouldn’t exist. Especially in English
The thing with IGN is that there is no consistency when it comes to a consensus in their review board, different people have different standards, yes, but there needs to be consistency with giving fair reviews and ratings to TV shows, video games, movies, etc. This is a big reason why more and more people don't pay attention to critics anymore.
Also they're greased to give better reviews. We've known this for a long time. I used to be in gaming journalism and my editors would tell me about companies reaching out to them with bribes.
These guys beat Netflix beyond their weight to not criticize, the guys are so sure to follow the wave and not be hunted by the furious fans who will defend everything that is One Piece.
I don't think it's bad because they're trying to be too close the source material. It's bad because the acting and script are simply too bad. Zoro doesn't even talk or act like that. He's trying so hard to be DEEP and EDGY but it just comes off as extremely cringe l. Especially hin trying to do a deep slow voice. It's clearly so fake
As someone who almost never watches any anime, I can agree. The acting is corny, the action is lame (slowly done moves that miss by a mile) The pace and sometimes dialogue is so.......slow. I thought it was because I didn't watch Anime but clearly it's not.
Looks like they found a bunch of random kidz on the street to act, zorro looks like a gay Spanish or Filipino dude in the life Action and don't get me started on luffy, owh he's from Spain so he should have a Spanish accent , cringeeeeeeee, B movie but still better than dragon ball evolution 🤮🤮🤮
It's like they read basic descriptions of the characters and wrote new ones based off of that. They got the "cool swordsman" part of Zoro down, but instead of a hot-blooded, intimidating, single-mindedly driven figure with a sadistic sense of humour who gives harsh advice when Luffy needs it, we get this sarcastic, eye-rolling guy who's needs to be re-inspired by Tony Robinson Luffy. And Zoro's not even the most egregious example. The fact that the writers are huge fans and still got the characters so off - especially when the characters are easily the strongest and most important part of East Blue - is perhaps the worst part about this. To see all that passion and effort put into something so sub-par hurts as a fan. I even like the casting, but the shit they were given to work with... man.
When will people learn? Somethings are just better left alone. Why do some people want to make everything comicbook, cartoon and anime live action? This is getting too much. I love anime and I never care for it to be live action.
@@umbrellaunderdog What! Never knew it existed. The one I saw but never watched because it looked kinda funny is the Live Full Metal Alchemist but alteast it looked better than Dragon Balls live. Heck even Fist of the Northstar live was better than that crap.
Because they want to make more money of the people who are interested in animation or manga, I think that if you're going to do it there has to be a reason, either you're faithful or you adapt it all at once, you can't do both and this Live Action It was successful, that is, they went to school with Live Action anime and now they know how to convince the fanbase. Anyway, I sleep happy because I can enjoy all forms of media without frills and prejudice or the need for an adaptation made to the thighs that don't adapt.
Not even that, but they want to make it ‘’woke’’ and change the characters. Roux casted as a black actor, edgy zoro and the actor that is supposed to play Koby is Trans, making me even more confused cuz Why?
The worst part about the cosplay syndrome thing? The series is faithful, but ONLY to the surface elements of the original, like the goofy characters, lines, vibrant locations and worldbuilding scale. The heart of the series is missing. Usopp’s feelings of inferiority and the desire to become brave, Sanji’s feelings for personal responsibility, Koby’s desire to grow a spine! All the ACTUAL important parts of the series that needed to be adapted were shafted or left out completely. Disappointing

@@frosenzu8909 Delete your channel, bro. You're a grown ass man who's been doing this for 7 years and can't even get 100 subs per year. You're literally proving my point correctly. You're embarrassing not only yourself but all anime fans. The reason I called out the intellgence of anime fans is because they ignore the actual themes and whatever depth there is to One Piece, and call the live action a good adaptation for superficial reasons.
@@youcantbeatk7006 That must be why you are so defensive of the show and feel the need to even comment on a fictional show. Just say you like trash 🗑️.
While I liked SOME of the costume (Buggy) and prop design from the trailer. I opted to pass on it because I knew there's no way it'd even come close to the anime in terms of appeal or asthetic. Plus the way they showed Luffy's actor talking rubbed me the wrong way, I mean as a fan of the source material I have absolutely no way in hell that Luffy knows what "tension" means let alone how to pronounce it. One of my friends asked me to watch it with them and I said no because I'd rather gnaw off my own arm than watch another Netflix live-action anime adaptation to which they replied "But m-muh Oda" among other less than savoury comments. As a fan of One Piece I have to say that yes, the fanbase is absolutely insufferable. The whole point of the story is lighthearted adventure, the romance of exploring unknown frontiers and repeatedly pushing the boundaries on what is and isn't possible. Oda's character designs, use of colour and themes that yo-yo between serious and silly are what made One Piece stand out as one of my favourite pieces of media. But saying that I had no faith in the live action and therefore knew I wouldn't enjoy it and would probably bring down said friend's experience by sharing in it, I'm somehow an idiot for not believing that it's good because Oda had to expressly tell production that the crew mates were not to be in relationships with each other. This is all to say nothing about the fact that the series ends the entire East Blue arc in the span of one season. The pacing of that alone would give me whiplash considering how much runtime the anime got out of it while introducing us to the universe, characters and some of the locations in the ever-expanding world it's set in. Going at the same pace they'd likely reach Wano within 7 seasons provided they actually make it that far. But like with Netflix's cavalcade of failing shows has taught me, maintaining quality is far from their strong point. I'm all for letting people enjoy what they enjoy, but to be recipient to such knuckle-scraping neanderthal level opinions for committing the crime of not believing in Netflix, a company that has only gone downhill since finding success, was simply not worth the time I spent talking about it with them. Just another example of fandom being an awful thing when critical thinking is thrown out the window for review purposes. God forbid anyone with a shred of common sense view something through the lens of critique.
I could not agree more. Just the sheer fact that they made their own Garp storyline instead of focusing on the source material and putting in things that matter, makes the show bad. You can't make the East Blue in just 8 episodes, it's just impossible, the pacing was too fast for one piece. This is just a simple example of many of why this ''show'' is bad. (By the way you are the only person I have seen mention the thing I have noticed ever since the trailer, LUFFY WOULD NEVER SAY ''I sense a little bit of tension amongst the crew''. He would probably just laugh or not hear it at all, Luffy is dumb, and that is what makes him Luffy. They also made the circumstances in which Luffy and Zoro meet different, but in the canon material Zoro would be pretty on par with being a crew member since he agreed to it and believes in Luffy after what he saw him do. Anyways, I hope you have a good day my friend cause you and I seem to be quite similar)
Anime in general is with few exceptions absolute trash. Two frames mouth animation and the heads are triangles with circles as eyes. How can anyone like this crap?
So true 😂. But as an long time on n off reader I do notice of Luffy's disrespect towards his opponents in fights, so of all the ways to use inaki's positive angelic energy I get it why they told him to keep a certain mr.Bean jewishy smile through the whole series. Still I want his dumb sides lol.
I don't think they even got any of the characters right, despite their efforts. East Blue is easily the weakest arc in the whole story, but it establishes the main characters and their dynamics almost perfectly. I don't think anyone could watch the LA and tell you what the core or each character is and how they fit into the crew dynamic, which you can easily do by reading or watching the original. They sanded off the rough edges (like Luffy's selfishness and bluntness, Nami's greed and temper, Zoro's hotheadness and sadism, Ussop's cowardice and self-agrandisement, Sanji's obstinance and lack of conviction among other things), made them spout marvel-esque quips and lame platitudes that you would never find in the source material, and completely missed that spirit that made them such compelling characters in the source material - which is the drive and ambition they all have. That raw tenacity, free-spiritness and self-belief that are the soul of the story. It feels like the LA straw hats are following Luffy just because "they might as well". Sanji and Ussop are done the dirtiest in that respect, they're barely even characters in their own arcs, but even Zoro is lacking his core character trait, which is his insane drive. Luffy himself is portrayed as some kind of self-help guru, and because they constantly made him an underdog for the sake of cheap tension he just comes across like he's full of hot air. I remember hearing that some viewers who were unfamiliar with the source material were surprised at how easy Luffy defeats Arlong in the end, because the episodes prior do not give you the sense that he's cartoonishly strong. Much of that is probably down to budget, but that's just another reason the LA was a bad idea. The characters at the heart of the story were perfectly crafted for a cartoon world. I think in the main the writers of the LA just suck as well though. Oda outclasses them when he was barely in his twenties. I can only imagine the Japanese translation of the script they gave him was much better because it's difficult to accept that he signed off on this shit. I guess even he feels the pressure of wasting a big studios money. The praise this show has been getting is crazy. I think it goes to show that you can be a fan of something without ever considering why you like the thing in the first place, so when you're presented something digestable that seems like the thing you like on the surface level you just accept it as being the same as the original thing you liked. Bit of a garbled sentence I know, but hopefully you get my point. Even though the LA cannot hold a candle to the original, criticism of it is treated like criticism of the original (and this isn't to say the original doesn't deserve criticism, only that it's more understandable why someone might get mad about it.) Anyway, I think the tide of public opinion will turn in our direction sooner or later, especially with the same people writing season 2. Here's hoping they turn it around. I doubt they will, but a man can dream
The execution of many lines felt pretty cringe to me too and some other points you made were pretty accurate. This type of story only truly working in the medium it's in, not real life/live action
@@biterness2323 Sadly, I'd agree. Even in Rurouni Kenshin, Arata came out as hammy and too over acting which is really jarring because Takeru's acting is so natural and nuanced
So, about this whole 'masterpiece' thing with the Netflix "One Piece" - it's not as cut and dry as it seems. Yeah, you'll come across video titles throwing around 'masterpiece,' but if you actually dive into those videos, you'll find they're not just glossing over the issues. They point out the flaws, but still, they're vibing with the show overall. It's not about being flawless; it's more about the show hitting the right notes despite its imperfections. And about the casting - Inaki Godoy as Luffy is just nailing it. He's really captured the essence of Luffy. Makenyu's take on Zoro? It's getting mixed reviews, but there's potential. Emily Rudd's Nami and Taz Skylar's Sanji? Both are bringing something special to the table. The show's visuals, like the Zoro and Mr. 7 fight? Pretty impressive stuff. They've done a solid job on the set and cinematography. But, let's be real - the show isn't without its flaws. Yet, the strengths come from how much passion they've put into it. It's getting new fans into the original anime and offering a fresh perspective for the die-hards. And here's the thing about adapting stuff - saying something only works in one medium is a bit narrow-minded. Look at "Guardians of the Galaxy" - we got emotionally attached to a talking tree and raccoon, for crying out loud! And Thor, a Norse god superhero? Totally works. It's all about how it's done. Same goes for "The Witcher" - from books to games to a hit series. It’s about the execution, not the medium. Wrapping this up, Netflix's "One Piece" is more than a faithful adaptation. It's an effort to bring this epic story to a wider audience, and it's doing a decent job at it. Fans aren't just throwing blind praise; they're recognizing the good and the areas for improvement. But honestly, I think the reviewer in this video is kind of missing the mark. Feels like they're the ones with the bias. It's totally cool to have different opinions, but let's not ignore why fans - flaws and all - are actually enjoying the show.
Seriously. If you don't go out of your way to find a negative review, you won't hear a single criticism, at least not immediately followed up by, "But it's One Piece and Oda was involved, so it's good."
@@BaldorfBreakdowns there seems to be a shortage of videos criticizing it. i like a balanced review, not oda worship. i'm new to one piece so its a way to hear about details that where left out of the show and how the characters were supposed to be portrayed. interesting. you cant change the race or personality characteristics of beloved characters. no one likes that. makes no sense. it is only for edgy teens. the new young passionate audience that may as well be mentally disabled.
@@GotoMaki4Micah I've been able to find 3. I'd guess there are some more, but even searching for specifically negative reviews, you still get positive ones.
the problem here isn't oda. he himself delayed the show after witnessing the abomination netflix made by the time he focused on wano and film red. he lowered the bar since it was too late and budget is limited. it's weird that people say oda approved it without problem, while oda himself have a problem with the show. i belive he only monitored the first two episode since it's stiill somewhat follow the original source. . you can watch LA syrup arc and cocoyashi arc. it literally written by someone who doesnt read one piece
True story, my parents have never understood my love for anime or manga so when this got good reviews I hesitantly watched the first episode with them in order to hopefully win them over. My mom got up to do chores halfway through and my dad fell asleep shortly after. It was surprisingly terrible acting given the reviews, and most of the nuanced character moments and scenarios which make one piece unique were removed to make the episode shorter. Despite having read the manga multiple times and Essentially earning a UA-cam PHD in one piece I will NOT be watching the rest of the show…it’s just shit 😭
this is the opinion of people that are fans of one piece. this live action is pure shit. I could only make it through two episodes by fast forwarding every 30 seconds.
Currently watching the anime & it’s currently one of my favorites. I’ve only seen the trailers and clips on UA-cam of this adaptation and I’ve hated what I’ve seen so far. When it comes to live action anime adaptations, I thought Alita Battle Angel and Speed Racer were pretty good, but I’ve hated every other adaptation I’ve seen. Disliked Death Note, disliked Bleach, and especially disliked Dragonball Evolution. Had a lot of people recommended me this show & I always say that I have absolutely zero interest in watching it. Same goes with live action Cowboy Bebop. Haven’t seen it yet, but I’d like to keep it that way. Also, with the announcement of Season 2 in development, I have so many fears over what live action Chopper will look like. Netflix is just over her like “we don’t actually have to write scripts or characters. The manga and anime writers already did that for us. People will already be invested with these characters before they even watch this adaptation. Please give us your money and we will crap out another live action anime adaptation once we are able to secure the rights to it.” Wow these live action remakes are great and totally not relying on people’s love and nostalgia for the anime in the slightest.
Reminds me of how Twisted Metal fans went CRAZY over the live action TV series. It really wasn't that great at all, and yet the fans were hyping it up because it had the Twisted Metal name attached to it. Fandoms are more than willing to defend a mediocre product so long as it's connected to the franchise. Like if it's bad, then it's bad. Don't try to die on a hill defending something that's terrible just because you're a fan. It's OK to not like something XD.
@@nighttime-mimepersonally i like the live action one piece. Im also a one piece fan. Just because i like one piece doesn’t mean i HAVE to like the live action. I like the live action. Not that complicated
@@justyouraveragestruggler4532 OK, that's your opinion. I personally think it's cringe. You're entitled to your opinion just as I'm entitled to mine. Not that complicated.
Wow the comparison with Mario movie was perfect. People get bizarrely angry when someone say he didn't like the movie that much. Critics were slightly positive about it and people still acted as if critics had said it was literally the worst thing since Hitler.
For me it was the acting that killed it. I loved the production most of the fight choreography, but I couldn’t get past how bad the acting was. It wasn’t the worst thing I’ve ever seen but it was not good to me as a whole
I think the script did them dirty. Sure, the performances weren't all that but I literally cannot imagine anyone doing better with the shit they had to work with. They made Luffy a fucking self-help guru ffs
I think this video elucidates a key difference between what we expect from real life acting and anime which is why many of us find this show jarring. I just don't think I like live action period and also don't need it for a 1000+ anime episode franchise with a manga I can reread or watch. I don't think there is much character depth in One Piece, the manga relies on world-building, humour, historical backdrops and of course the fights to generate its drama, tension, and people's love for it. The anime extends this with Japanese voice acting, he kick-ass music and particularly in the latter episodes high high-production battles faithful to the art style.
I know I’m probably setting myself up for a bad time here, but I have to be honest. I’m a MAJOR One Piece fan (it’s my favorite story of all time) and am caught up with both the manga and anime, have a ton of theories, and could not be more obsessed with the live action as well. Not only has it introduced all of my loved ones to my favorite story, it’s also incredibly fun and lighthearted to watch. My mom who is constantly making fun of anime and calling it “children’s cartoons” watched the entire thing with me and is eagerly awaiting season two. My best friend who’s only ever watched one anime in her entire life is now hooked on the story as well. How else would I have ever been able to have the pleasure of sharing One Piece with them? I’m so grateful for this adaptation, and even though it does have its flaws, they got it right in all the ways it matters. That’s not mediocrity, it’s having a deep understanding what to prioritize, what the goal is, and why people love this story. That’s what makes it great.
I feel like the marketing gaslit the fans into thinking this is a passion project. "Hey look at me! I'm Matt Owens the showrunner. I'm just like you. So I talk to popular One Piece youtubers and invite them on the set. Aren't I so relatable?" "Netflix: Look at how close the cast is. Just like the real Straw Hats." Not to mention that they probably made Oda sign a contract where he literally isn't allowed to say anything negative about it. Matt Owens is a hack, but his charisma stat is insane to be able to convince Oda to let him shit all over his legacy.
for me, it's the way they CHANGED so many things, like : -garp as a character -nami, nojiko & cocoyashi village whole story -captain kuro raid -zoro & mihwawk fight felt like random unimportant thug fight . they're not only cut the source material, the literally change it cuz the feels like it's not realistic. they literally can make cocoyashi story hte way they re and it wont feels less realistic. it feels like they don't even bother read the source material at all. you can see it in nami and nojiko dynamic. nami & nojiko tattoo basically meaningless to them and doesnt really hold important value
I am 3 episodes in just bcos friends are talking about it, and it is bad... Especially Zoro and Nami...both are just deadpan-ing... In the early arcs, Zoro was goofy and Nami was very expressive, especially from all the shenanigans from Luffy!! In the live action, both have hardy any expressions at all... And it doesn’t help when the editing often zoom in on their expressions and make their faces look bloated as if we are looking through a fish bowl... The thing with animes is, it is not using real human actors, thus everything can and usually are, exaggerated. Which makes it fun as we mostly watch anime’s as an temporary escape from real life stresses. Except Luffy, the rest of the Straw Hat crew are always looking depressed and lifeless... Zoro is talking like a zombie when he’s not fighting... I sincerely feel that, OPLA is given great reviews, just solely because the western countries have been getting shitty movies for a long while now, to the extent that mediocrity is celebrated as greatness.
Same feeling here, I feel like I don't mind a few changes to the storyline to streamline as long as they don't cut off important plot points but it's the acting that is so horrible. I feel like if you hire any Broadway theater actors they would deliver the lines much better. When I watch Nami and Zoro, Nami is so deadpan never smiles or really laugh (her one laugh looks forced) her speech pattern is pretty flat too she could study Nami English Dub VA who is good, Zoro still naturally sounds higher pitched than the Japanese VA but he tries to go low serious but in an ASMR style which was cringey he doesn't seem to talk at a normal volume at all. Luffy like in the video, his line delivery is so flat, monotonous, mono pacing. Worst case Nami is a fan of One Piece yet she doesn't act like Nami apart the crying scene Help me. I watched their interviews and feel like they are more natural and light hearted, laughs more brightly and naturally while having fun yet this mood and personality is missing in their acting 😢 they could have talk more naturally just like the interview they had but they talk so slow and flat here. Usopp and Sanji seems okay I'm only up to Ep 4 find it hard to watch. other characters like Helmeppp nailed it the most, funny I find the most of the side characters act better than the main cast here
The reason why people like this because of everybody's really, REALLY, REALLY low standards. And when I say that I don't mean that people are stupid for liking the live action version, it is because everything anime turned to live action that we have gotten was so trash that this is what passes for "good". People are so starved for decent content to the point that anything that passes for spot on representation of a thing that they enjoy at least in aesthetic sense it gets a pass.
LOW STANDARDS. buddy, my standards are so high i hate some popular anime because you guys have low standards like re zero or fucking solo leveling. that shit is just bad. Try watching full metal alchemist brotherhood or fucking avatar the last air bender. then come back with your so called low standards and judge this shit properly.
one piece fans are most delusion fan base of all time. that's why this is getting a pass. anime set bar so low this probably feels like masterpiece to them
@@user-mz9xo3hx1hNo opinions are subjective you can think its good. There are things in shows you can objectively criticize like acting, editing, cinematography, sound and so on.
To be honest, this isn’t trying to insult people, but it’s been heavily documented and noted that the two most recent generations have dropped their average IQ levels by something of 70points in the last decade. People have much shorter attention spans and are so very easily amused, so very easily entertained. Even the slightest complexity in a show or movie and you’d see heavy amounts of people lacking any kind of understanding or meaning behind it, while they simultaneously taking songs like Cardi B’s wap and Lisa’s Rockstar and hyper analyzing them to hold truly deep and important messages. It isn’t at all surprising that these atrocious live actions that are coming out, remaking old anime’s to ride the wave of success because they’re too lazy and inept to make their own works, have fans drooling over the content as if it’s some miraculous piece of work. You can quite literally see comments of these shows and movies, that are genuinely bad, be positive, but only to the extent of few words, little to no explanation or detail in why said thing was good and void of independent thought. With people barely using their own minds these days and people desperately looking for a scape goat in pretty much any situation they encounter in life, it is no wonder why there are few people criticizing and disliking this adaption. When there really aren’t that many good shows and movies and the globe is riding the way of short term, meaningless content, you will end up with so many supporting a thing without even being able to articulate exactly why they enjoy it in the first place.
I think you are right. People have lowered their standards to the point where they praise mediocrity. And when the honeymoon phase is over, they jump to the next new thing and quickly forget about what they consumed before.
Thank you for this. People who have actually watched good shows with good writing, acting and directing should avoid this show, it's so cringe and mediocre specially Luffy and Zoro. As an adaptation it's alright at best, it still changes stuff like with Garp and Koby they gonna mess it up S2 just like The Witcher Season 2.
do not make another season of one piece IT'S TOTALLY STILL A CRINGE AND I'LL FUCKING GO INSANE AND CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION TO NETFLIX AND I'M FUCKING DEPRESSED
Thank you thank you thank you omg all these people praising the show, it's just really bad. As a huge one piece fan it just bothers me. Also I think a lot of people that are into this show actually know nothing about the anime or manga. So it's completely foreign to them maybe that's why. But anyone that was a big fan before and likes this, sorry but I just don't get it.
For me, this isn't an adaptation, it's a series/soap opera teenager who has half One Piece plots and a cosplay cast that tries to half emulate the characters, But this entire cosplay rehearsal cost more than the darkest episode of GOT which cost 15 million (-_- )ﾉ⌒┫ ┻ ┣ ┳
We so use to mediocre content that this show is considered great Ign has a reputation of having a very left leaning bias , so people don’t take them seriously anymore
The directing and camera work is by far my biggest issue with it. Camera's were often way too close to the actors' faces from weird angles. I don't understand what kind of audience the show is supposed to appeal to either, it's way too goofy for most adults/teens while being far too gory for kids. Meanwhile existing One Piece fans would almost certainly prefer the anime over the live action anyways. So I just don't get who this is made for. And if we ignore that it's a One Piece adaptation....it's just not a good tv show. Granted I haven't seen any of the infamously bad anime adaptations, so perhaps I don't have as low standards as others. But just because it's 'less bad' doesn't justify praising it. It still doesn't compare to just about every well-received tv show released in the past 20 years (and older). I really wanted to love this and was hoping to get my non-anime watching family into it, telling them all about how the trailers looked pretty promising. Then one of them walked in on me watching the first episode (right at that overly melodramatic Zoro part you showed no less) and immediately pointed out the strange camera work by saying "oh no, is that how the whole show is filmed??!" and all I could do was nod in pain from the cringe.
Bless your heart for this criticism. Thought I was alone in thinking it wasn't the best thing ever. For an anime adaptation its the best but this thing was not perfect. A lot more i can say about it but whenever luffy wasn't on the screen, my enjoyment of the show went way up. It probably was the script but while i was watching i just assumed he couldn't act.
No.... Luffy can be goofy, but he never got Luffy's serious side right. there are moment were luffy stops talking and become a "man of action" as he was taught by shanks. they made this actor be goofy almost all the times, and too emotinal some other times. But the real Travesty was the WEAK lines they made him say when he was suppose to say something else. a real shame@@royalfun1031
I think the complicated thing about Luffy is: Inaki, in real life, has the charisma and energy of Luffy. A really good match. But the writing of the show didn't help him, and he has a lot of developing to go throw regarding his acting skills. The boy who plays Koby for example, outshines him soo much. He tried so much to be exagerated as Luffy is, that most of the type he just looks like a psycho.
Well, Inaki was told to smile this certain Mr.Bean Jewish psychotic awkward way, and I immediately knew the reason why. The girl that plays Koby on the other hand I actually finds it a mischaracterization of Koby, being too terrified with a weird auric rhythm.
I agree with everything you said in the video and more including the changes to the plot of Arlong Park, Syrup Village and Garp bigger inclusion. People in these comments have no reasonable rebuttals and as a op fan it’s embarrassing. This is a decent project but it’s not great.
they just repeat 'oda approved it so you should be happy.' they act like oda isnt getting paid to approve things and sell the show because of his 'approval.'
@@Timerooy Interviews stated he left after they ignored his suggestions on "NO MASKS" for the sword training scene. The actors told on their director indirectly
When zoro got knocked out in syrup village is when I couldn’t stop lying to myself they did oda dirty when they begged to get garp to be in east blue they also do usopp dirty and the meaning from the og arcs are lost for example orange town which was meant to show the true meaning of treasure and it not just being gold they forgot what buggy’s original dream to find all the treasure on land since he can’t swim and they just turned it to some Disney villain ass plot Like “he made us freaks” and there’s so much more on buggy but in general I can’t watch both thinking they’re the same thing when one just makes me not even really like the other sry i had to rant somewhere
@@johnriley7312no oda helped with what he could and changed what they let him to, Oda isnt some unmistaken god, Oda really wanted the live action adaptation so it would have happened regardless.
Then as a One Piece fan, if your looking for Oda to replicate key parts in the storyline, as you referenced. Wouldn't you rather just watch the anime for those key moments instead ? You can't expect both the anime and the live action to correlate identically, especially given the large difference in episodes between the two. Thats what makes it an adaptation in the first place.
@@nizzanator Why not have the same story in different Mediums like Disney? OHG RIGHT those failed BECAUSE they changed the Orignial stories. My bad i thought you had a point but you didnt.
@@nizzanator they’re supposed to that’s why they take the name to replicate the story in a different format the anime adaptation is a replication of the manga may not be an exact one but they aren’t changing key characters why not just name the live action “one piece alternate universe” or use a different name like game of thrones did in their adaptation of a song of fire and ice
Bro the show looks like Lazy Town after a 15 year time skip. It's atrocious to look at. I made the mistake of watching it in English where all the flawed and cringe dialogue shines out even more (compared to watching it in Japanese).
I didn't like one piece. The anime's was too long, repeated plot of leveling up, new challenge, leveling up, new challenge gets boring quick. I came in watched this blind. and I think this is a fun watch. Supprising, i did not feel any cringe i usually does in this type of live actions.
Here is my hottake: It needed more filler. When some of those key momment's hit I just didn't believe that the crew cared about each other the way the show was implying. 12 episodes and those 4 extra episodes being character focuesd one off where we can settle in with the status quo whenever there is a new crew mate would have helped alot.
@@srsklab2013 how is it the 'best part'? He is OOC the entire FUCKING TIME. Garp is aloof a goof with a heart of gold. Not an old timey english navyman that is super cereal all the time. He is intimidating just because he exists and is strong not because of his personality. He is gentle in weird ways and an utter Menace to his crew like Luffy. He hates the Shichibukai and is against the program entirely. He sees potential in people and ignores their past. He has a 'If you want it done do it yourself' mentality often taking the lead of DOING before Ordering. His Confrontation on Arlong's island is JUST WRONG. He wouldn't walk up to luffy after seeing he liberated an island threatening him. Instead he would either Grab him and tell him he is doing great Marine work and he should be a marine or he would give him a fist of love for saying he is a pirate and both scenarios would get Luffy to react as HE SHOULD both in fear and then confrontation that never escalates past that Love Punch. Garp is insanely soft on friends and family. His hardass personality only shows up when it comes to pirating and even then he would see Luffy's crew and see that they are good people as well... probably tell them to become marines too get shot down and move on with dealing with the reason he came there ARLONG. He would make up the excuse he was rounding up the Fishmen and let the town say their goodbyes and let Luffy escape. Not only that but time line is 100% wrong. He entered the East blue as Luffy left it.
It's a pretty weirdly inflammatory title for someone who was made a whole video criticizing someone for being weirdly inflammatory and rude to their audience yeah. I think the video itself is a lot better though after watching it, not that I necessarily agree with it. I think it's just a clickbaity title.
@@umbrellaunderdogyou are a straight clown, if you’re talking about the cast then Goda said that Luffy would be Brazilian and Zoro would be Japanese, USSOP would be African, Sanji would be French etc
Sometimes as hard as you try to present something in good faith, theres no way to sugarcoat it. If you liked this show, you have low standards for entertainment.
@@tapeman2000how are you blind haters going to ask people to respect your opinion on not liking the shoe, but not do same with people who do like it? Grow up
oh man one piece is easily my favorite anime out there but holy shit i was in shock that people thought the live action was good, i felt like i was taking fucking crazy pills when people were saying wooOOOw its so good! its the biggest piece of dogshit out there man, in any other film production if the acting quality was as dogshit as the op la people would berate it but man the op fandom is fucking insane and will suck off any bit of media they can
I couldn't even stand watching half of the first episode, it's painfully cringe. I believe there is many ways to make it less cosplay looks too, but idk why they just go through with it. Also the script and the act, it's remind me off my otaku friends when they joke a japanese joke in English, it's terrible to say the least. But Luckily I watch this one first before go to the avatar live action series. So my low expectations getting paid off with good reality.
I wish that they made more episodes or some with more pirate action, I wanted to see the armada and don creed battle (like as finale for season 1) with many ships and an actual sea battle (change the fight between ruffy and don creed a bit for life action and boom percect pirate series)
I don't understand how people can't see how out of touch the actors are with the characters their suppose to play. It's like all they did was get an idea and now their just playing on that.
When i saw how cast acts more like their characters in outside sources like promo videos and shorts, I started to put all the blame on the director. They are a perfect fit but there's only that much they can do with the script they were given.
I agree with most of what you say but nearing the end of the video you went into a really bad argument, despite sites like IGN having different people reviewing shows and games, their reviews should be somewhat uniform, cause that's how you build a reliable source of critique for your audience, if every IGN reviewer is gonna have wildly different taste and opinions then there's no reason to check IGN at all, since you won't be able to tell if that reviewer's opinion and taste aligns with yours at all even if you check what score they gave to a piece of media you already consumed and agree with the score, it wouldn't matter cause there's no guarantee of a standard scoring bias, and that's failling at basic journalism. Second you whined about people coming down on critics and reviewers, and said they shouldn't care but that's just dumb, critic scores and bad reviews can hugely affect if a piece of media will have more or less space, if more people will check it out, if investors will be interested, if the studio will give them a green light for more seasons, etc. So yeah people that care about a piece of media will and should care what critics say, cause it can just flat out kill that piece of media. And also, despite diverging tastes and opinions, reviewers should be also objective and knowledgeble about what they're talking about, like you did when you mentioned the set and prop design for this LA, and with that in mind there's no reason IGN would ever give She Hulk a higher score than this, that show it's just objectively worse in every way from production, to the script, to the acting. Just proves how bad IGN is at journalism in general.
People keep talking about how they screwed up Zoro but they also screw up Nami and Usopp, Nami is way too deapan much like Zoro is in this show and less money crazy, as for Usopp he's somehow a bigger coward than he was in the anime/manga version of East Blue
Same, the main issue with it for me is there is no humour between any of the characters, remember when liffy would annoy zoro and zoro would shout at him in such a comedic way, its all gone now
Anime in general is with few exceptions absolute trash. Two frames mouth animation and the heads are triangles with circles as eyes. How can anyone like this crap?
This show is far from awful how about you stop lying. However it’s far from perfect and it does nothing to prove that anime shows can be made into live action. Truly the show is good on its own, in the sense if you watch it without have seeing the anime than you can actually get joy from it. If you know both the anime and manga you can at least see the appeal to a degree but you can also see its faults. Overall I think it’s a good show with actual care put into it.
What are you pegging it to though, Schindlers list? It's decent, nothing spectacular or great but it doesn't have to be, it's head and shoulder above the average TV show and it has good spirit You can't really ask for much more from a live action of such a different medium with limited time and budget; if it performs well netflix will likely be less apprehensive and invest more time, money and effort and the show runners should be able to improve the quality of after learning from what went well and what didnt
@@umbrellaunderdog They put in effort, they're limited by experience and resources; mediocrity is fine if it's above average and enjoyable, not every piece of media has to be on the level of Shawshank Redemption
"limited time and budget" .That's a terrible excuse. Why should have take more of their time and give a bigger budget for an adaptation of the most popular manga in the world
@@hiphopheaven After so many failures in adapting the art form, of course companies are skeptical to completely let loose on time and budget, even for the biggest manga's There were no confirmations of a second season until this was proven popular for a reason; and when it did, netflix asked for 6 more. I mean look at how adaptations of Dragonball and cowboy Bebop and etc flopped, of course no company will put all their bets on something so risky
@@ilicktrains8304After so many failures in adapting the art form maybe they should stop making more live action instead of making rushed and under budgeted adaptation. They decided to make one so now anybody have the right to criticize it
I thought it was good. A new way to introduce family and friends to the show. A lot of people in my area picked up either the manga or anime, after checking it out. Manga and anime have a certain stigmatisme to them that this live action managed to avoid, for both younger and older audiences.
No point when there is a literal animated show. No one wants garbage cgi and then there’s the the OP games so no point in 3d. The live action was a mistake I blame Netflix
I would also like to point out that the lines need to be true to the source material, since the whole of the one piece story is interconnected one way or another other. Will they be cringy? yes. Will they give some weird unexpected, and perhaps uncomfortable moments? yes. They rewrote and reshoot certain scenes because the author of One Piece, deemed it necessary. Some of those changes will make people cringe, some will be for the better. For the people who get through season 1, will probably take great joy in whats to come, and there are alot of people who did. What sucks about ign is their lack of standards, since as you pointed out, there are individuals who do these ratings, and they usually put a lot of their personal prefrence into their ratings. Like just look at som of their pokemon reviews. I get that this won't be for everyone, but that goes for anime and manga in general to. Anyhow, appreciate the video, hope you check out S2 when it aires as well.
Man I have so many things to curse, but instead I'm going to start praising, the marketing department of this bomb deserves a raise, because the way they handled the emotional appeal in marketing it is a masterstroke, Oda approved this project I only say one thing to you Oda Sucker he approved all the miserable films except one of One Piece, all. I honestly don't care if the author liked it because what he liked was the money, that Live Action bastard who has no soul didn't understand the manga and got this stupid advocacy from fans and people who never touched the original for those who are not fans, liking is less important because these people no longer have the desire, now fans of the original to say that Live Action surpassed this possibility makes me revolt, at most I would say that this Live Action is further proof that the worst adaptations are made to prove themselves to everyone and unfortunately this prevents a true reading of the essence of a work Alita battle angel Some people cursed and I saw much more of the essence than this series that cost much more per episode And another thing, being faithful doesn't make you good. Edge of Tomorrow may go unnoticed as an adaptation of a manga and light novel and it's great to use this excuse of following the original, it just proves to me that these guys think One Piece is just stupid and congratulations they managed to be more childish than the stupid manga, the supposedly inferior manga is much more mature than this LazyTown worse than LazyTown.
No matter how well-made a show or movie might be. It doesn't take from the fact that a live action shōnen adaptation is IMPOSSIBLE. It's because of the hyperreality animation provides, that the kind of dialog and the way it's delivered in this type of shows work. If you remove these elements, all that's left is unbearable CRINGE. The kind of cringe that only a small child would think nothing of.
Luffy in the anime looks like a reckless cool strong captain. But then in the live action he looks like he’s a special Ed Indian scammer cosplaying. Also buggy the clown looks like an old homeless clown that had their clown crap attached to him permanently. And then there’s luffy’s gum gum fruit that whenever he stretches in the anime looks epic and makes him look tough and then in the live action it just looks…bad. Also Garp is not him in the live action. Also the rest of the characters look like cosplayers on a very low budget.
For me, the LA was great for what it set out to do. To adapt this concept alone is a great feat, the actors were great, the way they condensed it wasn't perfect but it worked, and the people involved deserve their flowers. But that's it. LA Luffy was never going to be 1:1 with og Luffy and that's fine but honestly speaking, the writers are walking on thin ice here and any sudden moves WILL make or break the future episodes. (If LA Luffy mentions being a good pirate one more time I'm gonna drop kick something) The only thing I want to hope for is that Oda holds a tighter leash and Netflix realizes they need more than 8 episodes. I enjoyed OPLA but as it is, considering their budget and its flaws, I don't see a future post Alabasta. Also, I'd argue that only fans liking OPLA is wrong. There's plenty of fans who despise it and there's plenty of non-fans who saw it and are being convinced to watch the source material.
As someone who wasn't a One Piece fan, I absolutely loved the live action show, unironically. I even teared up at about 4 different points, laughed at the jokes, and rewinded on the fight scenes or camera shots just because I thought they looked cool. I even caught myself humming the soundtrack afterward because it's just really catchy. I've always heard that this is one of the greatest stories ever told, and after binging the Netflix adaptation since Thursday, I finally understand. I see why this story, it's world, and its characters impacted lives, young and old alike around the world for over 25 years. I didn't watch or read One Piece because the designs looked freakish to me and I didn't have the time. But, now this wonderful story has been brought to life with love and care by everyone who obviously put their heart and soul into it. Nearly everything in it was approved by Oda himself and I'm so glad that he picked this guy to play Luffy, he IS Luffy to me. Same to the rest of the cast. I'm glad that I get to see this story with GOOD pacing that cuts straight to the heart of it all, while still leaving in the subtle down-to-earth character moments. The set design was so immaculate that I felt like I was in this world, going on an adventure with this found family, it genuinely moved me. Even the dialogue that may seem like anime cosplay cringe. I didn't think so because from literally the first scene, the narrator says that this is "A world like no other" or something like that, so it's already telling you to suspend your disbelief. I'm not making excuses for bad acting or bad writing either because I FELT the emotion and I just can't deny that. idk maybe I'm in the honeymoon phase and someone will pick it apart later and reveal how bad it REALLY was but I still won't deny that this made me a One Piece fan
I am a hard op fan but not biased to just one anime. I’ve watched many other anime, i enjoyed it, and i like some of it but one piece is definitely my fav. I’m agree that op fans (some of them) are annoying and cringy sometimes especially with the condoriano, usopp, sogeking jokes. For this LA, believe me I tried to like it but i just can’t. It’s just cringy for me and the pace is so slow. I feel like I’m watching phase 4 mcu not one piece. Anddd I can’t stand how luffy actor says “I’m monkey d luffy……………and I’m gonna become the king of the pirates 😃”
Im one of the rare ones. Someone so invested in the manga and anime the LA had absolutely no shot in pleasing me. And i knew this from the first teaser shots we got showing the set pieces. I fully agree with nearly every criticism you have. I fond it hyper annoying that the loud casual fans even shut down comments from people who clearly know more about the source material than they do, and can spot all the inconsistencies that are there, and how the changes made can actually have dramatic consequences to character motivations and how we see or empathize with situations. Zoro was stsrving for 20 days before Helmeppo stomps that rice ball into the dirt 30 times. That little girl risk desth to give it to him, so ZORO still ate it. That whole things is just gone in the LA. Instead, the guy just looks like a jerk for zero reason. And then netflix adding in completely unnecessary bs like nude Helmeppo butt. Why was that necessary at all? They’re PC’ing the characters too. Why? They already swapped Jaskier on The Witcher. Why do it to Colby and Helmeppo? Why push that change? Especially if this is supposed to be fan service and being sticking so closely to the source? The problem is, they picked and chose what was canon and what is creative introduction by their team. I call it the shiny turd who gives me motion sickness. Why so many Orbit shots during the action? Whats with the ridiculously unnecessary close ups? A can go on and on with questions on just the first episode? Why does Zoro’s feet never touch the wall when he wall runs around the pool?
And that's probably why Oda called it Inaki and his crew, lol. That failed Zoro wall run annoyed me too. Orbit shots was them trying to show off the continuous flow of action sequence. Close ups was them trying to make the viewers feel like part of the crew, or having the same role as interactors.
@@Timerooy i wanted to like it, but i love the oh so deeply no LA was ever gonna be good enough. I’m fine with it existence i guess. Odds finally got his real big boy windfall. Which he does deserve. But i also fear what that will do to his motivations and how that could ultimately influence decisions in the story. Other than it’s whatever. But I’m still firm in my beliefs for not liking it. I still say this needed a Peter Jackson type person to do the LA. Not just a Netflix writer fanboy that only job was to convince Oda into signing a contract and then the Netflix team took over. I dont feel this “showrunner” is actually doing anything. He doubt he has any real say at all anymore. Other than to be PR spokesman for the Netflix team.
@@JoeyTheSinic they're going for the pompous dead gaming reality in the name of LA, which I find greedy and waste of a huge budget, not like I can do better but I just can tell Oda is not happy with their approach in honoring and respecting his work, definitely not coming into terms during script discussions.
Completely agree with what you said about that scene with Zoro. They take so much away from the characters by completely removing the context of WHY they say and do certain things in the manga. Zoro (again as an example) is incredibly mentaly strong and above all a man of honor and of his word. In the manga when he is first introduced with the scene that you described he is bloody and starving but still smiling with determination, something that is completely missing from the LA where he's only a melancholy dramaqueen.
@@RemiRecluse THANK YOU! I don’t get how that logic is so hard to understand for some of these people. Its actually kinda tainted my view on culture and kinds believe some of the stories ivd heard from content makers amongst my friends. The general audience is mostly giant idiots who only care about the visuals and don’t care about the story. Makes sense now. Every mrbeast video is the same format. Every netflix anime adaptation is done the same way. But people just wanna say I’m a hater, when I’m not. Bc its easier to label someone rather than to listen to them. I hated OPLA, but im actually excited for the new live action Avatar. Now that show looks like they actually tried and it showed.
Also, directors tend to throw temper tantrums these days when fans don't like shows. It's comical how much hypocrisy you have in you. When she hulk didn't do well they screamed "bigotry" and "misogyny". Oh and by the way the director himself called out critics. They said that the show wasn't political enough; that Luffy should have been gay and that One piece catered too much to the fans. Entertainment is a buisness and the way to make money at the box office is to cater to the audience that would be the most hypes for the coming product. Fans have the right to clap back. They are not annoying or toxic if they voice their opinions. Please learn how the entertainment buisness works.
the first two episode isn't that bad. but the rest are just dissapointment. i still remember when oda said that he wont let netflix release one piece LA until it's meet his standard. he the one who delayed it even though it's ready to air. this statement is shown that there is something horribly wrong with the adaptation that made oda say something like that. but most of the fandom act like they dont know it. they say it's masterpiece and change is justified (even though they often complaint slight change in anime). . how can they're okay with how garp potrayed in the movie? how can they okay with how zoro fight with mihawk tone down like random fight without much witness, how can they be okay with so many change in syrup arc? and for me, the worse is how they change nami and nojiko dynamic for making nami look like a STRONG independent women. do they think nami is weak as character in manga? that nojiko tatto which share strong meaning with nami is basically meaningless and random. nojiko and the whole town just like a asshole unlike in the heartwarming truth in manga. . i often talk about it with my friend and they do share same thought. it's butchered but somehow everybody like it and considered it a masterpiece without a flaw. the LA literally shit on the source material and change so many things because they dont see it fits. they literally can share the same without making it weird.
Get over it. The actor of luffy said that they wanted to honor the fans of one piece, and the way to do that is to. make it feel like the original cartoon. I bet you are a Disney shill.
i really hate it when luffy keeps on repeating "friends" and "king of the pirates". It's not that redundant in comparison to the anime. Luffy says it like 10x an episode here in LA. Garp is just bad, i dont like him. His tone is too soft which is just out of character. There are more complaints but ill just take this for now.
Yeah my best friend who is HUGE one piece fan prefers this THING over the anime and luffy actor is nothing but “scream this or scream that or say a quick marvel one liner”🤮
not really sellout. the first two episode is not that bad and i belive oda still monitored it. by the time he went to focus on film red, netflix mess with the whole story and that's what lead oda to state, he wont let netflix release the LA unless it's meet his standard. and i belive he lowered his standard because it was to late to change because of the budget.
From the perspective of someone who has never watched the anime or read the manga, I absolutely loved this show. I think the show has a lot of the cliche anime stylings, but in a good way. The anime hair, the way the main character says he’s going to become _______ every 10 minutes, etc. the cinematography was outstanding, not sure that could be knocked as a negative. From what others have said, it sounds like they toned down the main characters and let the actors make them their own, but keep their essences. Sometimes I do think scenes are a little cringe, but then something amazing happens. Some of it is cringey in a good way I think. This show definitely made me a One Piece fan and I’ll probably binge the manga or the anime over the winter.
I'm Glad it does. I wouldn't be able to disassociate the Original content to the show since I've been watching one piece for 20 plus years. and this arc "Romance Dawn" I've seen and read Many times over and 3 different languages I'm very familiar with. I appreciate the love they are bringing with the show, as its running i can see improvements too. and the fact that you confirmed that people who's never seen it are liking it make me happy! I hope it keeps going and it keeps getting better. My dream is that they deliver the Iconic lines just like the Original though. everything in between can be passable with a little change. but certain Lines are Quintessential to the show.
The bleach Live action movie was excellent. I wish One PIECE live action was a little more like that. I can say, IT was some what better than the Dragon ball live action Movie they made.
Yes I agree, like I love actual one piece, but i feel like it only really works in the anime world. If they did a lovr action for other animes like maybe castlevania or steins gate it may be better
Zoro is my biggest disappointment with this show, he's supposed to be a loud mouth too not just an edgy sword man
The well scene is an embarrassment...
Truly, ugh. 😑
Which is curious because he almost took Luffy's place In Usopp's arc we had a flashback to him. (ﾉ≧∇≦)ﾉ ﾐ ┻━┻
I mean he's the latter post time skip
Yesssssssssss
I cringed through the entire first episode... But people are really out here calling it a "masterpiece". It's a HARD pass for me.
exactlyyyy

Cosplay syndrome is the best way to explain it, you nailed it.
I don't know what the obsession with live action adaptations is. To a large extent, the medium is what informs decisions the creative process. You don't write a movie and make the design decisions a comic book writer would, and if you're making a video game you don't make the decisions a novel writer would make. You don't use cartoon dialogue in a live action story. It just doesn't work. You play to the strengths of your medium. The anime isn't going anywhere, and it will always be the superior version of the story. These adaptations aren't "art", they're like little fan projects. You're not watching One Piece, you're watching what amounts to a theme park performance of One Piece. Like those little plays at Disney World. There's no vision to the project, it's just the TV equivalent of popcorn. Very little nutrition, but it'll keep you chomping and chewing for a while.
Bingo you said it best hell yu yu hakusho live action is a bad adaptation and even worse than one piece but their action scenes are way on point better than one piece because the actors are putting effort in and actually have talent put into it even tho half of it is cgi
Man you just spoke whatever was in my heart about the one piece live action. I thought I was the only one. THANK YOU. And the thing about the "Cosplay Syndrome"? That was exactly what was on my mind.
i am you
This is just how everyone was calling the last of us tv show a masterpiece. It was complete garbage. I can’t do live adaptation because it’s always awful and shouldn’t exist. Especially in English
The thing with IGN is that there is no consistency when it comes to a consensus in their review board, different people have different standards, yes, but there needs to be consistency with giving fair reviews and ratings to TV shows, video games, movies, etc. This is a big reason why more and more people don't pay attention to critics anymore.
Also they're greased to give better reviews. We've known this for a long time. I used to be in gaming journalism and my editors would tell me about companies reaching out to them with bribes.
These guys beat Netflix beyond their weight to not criticize, the guys are so sure to follow the wave and not be hunted by the furious fans who will defend everything that is One Piece.
Yeah, it’s almost like one’s opinion on any form of art is subjective
@@TheDarkSatiristYeah man... like... What even is real... none could ever be wrong about an opinion
I don't think it's bad because they're trying to be too close the source material. It's bad because the acting and script are simply too bad. Zoro doesn't even talk or act like that. He's trying so hard to be DEEP and EDGY but it just comes off as extremely cringe l. Especially hin trying to do a deep slow voice. It's clearly so fake
I think it's a combination of both.
Yes, especially the bad writing. Gosh I don't even know where to start with Zoro's characterization.
As someone who almost never watches any anime, I can agree. The acting is corny, the action is lame (slowly done moves that miss by a mile)
The pace and sometimes dialogue is so.......slow.
I thought it was because I didn't watch Anime but clearly it's not.
Looks like they found a bunch of random kidz on the street to act, zorro looks like a gay Spanish or Filipino dude in the life Action and don't get me started on luffy, owh he's from Spain so he should have a Spanish accent , cringeeeeeeee, B movie but still better than dragon ball evolution 🤮🤮🤮
It's like they read basic descriptions of the characters and wrote new ones based off of that. They got the "cool swordsman" part of Zoro down, but instead of a hot-blooded, intimidating, single-mindedly driven figure with a sadistic sense of humour who gives harsh advice when Luffy needs it, we get this sarcastic, eye-rolling guy who's needs to be re-inspired by Tony Robinson Luffy. And Zoro's not even the most egregious example.
The fact that the writers are huge fans and still got the characters so off - especially when the characters are easily the strongest and most important part of East Blue - is perhaps the worst part about this. To see all that passion and effort put into something so sub-par hurts as a fan. I even like the casting, but the shit they were given to work with... man.
When will people learn? Somethings are just better left alone. Why do some people want to make everything comicbook, cartoon and anime live action? This is getting too much. I love anime and I never care for it to be live action.
People praise the live action Yu Yu Hakusho screen play which sucked so bad LOL.
@@umbrellaunderdog What! Never knew it existed. The one I saw but never watched because it looked kinda funny is the Live Full Metal Alchemist but alteast it looked better than Dragon Balls live. Heck even Fist of the Northstar live was better than that crap.
Because they want to make more money of the people who are interested in animation or manga, I think that if you're going to do it there has to be a reason, either you're faithful or you adapt it all at once, you can't do both and this Live Action It was successful, that is, they went to school with Live Action anime and now they know how to convince the fanbase.
Anyway, I sleep happy because I can enjoy all forms of media without frills and prejudice or the need for an adaptation made to the thighs that don't adapt.
Not even that, but they want to make it ‘’woke’’ and change the characters. Roux casted as a black actor, edgy zoro and the actor that is supposed to play Koby is Trans, making me even more confused cuz Why?
money you moron
The worst part about the cosplay syndrome thing?
The series is faithful, but ONLY to the surface elements of the original, like the goofy characters, lines, vibrant locations and worldbuilding scale.
The heart of the series is missing. Usopp’s feelings of inferiority and the desire to become brave, Sanji’s feelings for personal responsibility, Koby’s desire to grow a spine! All the ACTUAL important parts of the series that needed to be adapted were shafted or left out completely. Disappointing
It's all a clear reminded that ultimately these books and shows were originally designed for children, and the adult, super fans have mental problems.

@@frosenzu8909 Delete your channel, bro. You're a grown ass man who's been doing this for 7 years and can't even get 100 subs per year. You're literally proving my point correctly. You're embarrassing not only yourself but all anime fans. The reason I called out the intellgence of anime fans is because they ignore the actual themes and whatever depth there is to One Piece, and call the live action a good adaptation for superficial reasons.
@@youcantbeatk7006 That must be why you are so defensive of the show and feel the need to even comment on a fictional show. Just say you like trash 🗑️.
While I liked SOME of the costume (Buggy) and prop design from the trailer. I opted to pass on it because I knew there's no way it'd even come close to the anime in terms of appeal or asthetic. Plus the way they showed Luffy's actor talking rubbed me the wrong way, I mean as a fan of the source material I have absolutely no way in hell that Luffy knows what "tension" means let alone how to pronounce it.
One of my friends asked me to watch it with them and I said no because I'd rather gnaw off my own arm than watch another Netflix live-action anime adaptation to which they replied "But m-muh Oda" among other less than savoury comments. As a fan of One Piece I have to say that yes, the fanbase is absolutely insufferable. The whole point of the story is lighthearted adventure, the romance of exploring unknown frontiers and repeatedly pushing the boundaries on what is and isn't possible.
Oda's character designs, use of colour and themes that yo-yo between serious and silly are what made One Piece stand out as one of my favourite pieces of media. But saying that I had no faith in the live action and therefore knew I wouldn't enjoy it and would probably bring down said friend's experience by sharing in it, I'm somehow an idiot for not believing that it's good because Oda had to expressly tell production that the crew mates were not to be in relationships with each other.
This is all to say nothing about the fact that the series ends the entire East Blue arc in the span of one season. The pacing of that alone would give me whiplash considering how much runtime the anime got out of it while introducing us to the universe, characters and some of the locations in the ever-expanding world it's set in. Going at the same pace they'd likely reach Wano within 7 seasons provided they actually make it that far. But like with Netflix's cavalcade of failing shows has taught me, maintaining quality is far from their strong point.
I'm all for letting people enjoy what they enjoy, but to be recipient to such knuckle-scraping neanderthal level opinions for committing the crime of not believing in Netflix, a company that has only gone downhill since finding success, was simply not worth the time I spent talking about it with them. Just another example of fandom being an awful thing when critical thinking is thrown out the window for review purposes. God forbid anyone with a shred of common sense view something through the lens of critique.
I could not agree more. Just the sheer fact that they made their own Garp storyline instead of focusing on the source material and putting in things that matter, makes the show bad. You can't make the East Blue in just 8 episodes, it's just impossible, the pacing was too fast for one piece.
This is just a simple example of many of why this ''show'' is bad.
(By the way you are the only person I have seen mention the thing I have noticed ever since the trailer, LUFFY WOULD NEVER SAY ''I sense a little bit of tension amongst the crew''. He would probably just laugh or not hear it at all, Luffy is dumb, and that is what makes him Luffy. They also made the circumstances in which Luffy and Zoro meet different, but in the canon material Zoro would be pretty on par with being a crew member since he agreed to it and believes in Luffy after what he saw him do. Anyways, I hope you have a good day my friend cause you and I seem to be quite similar)
Anime in general is with few exceptions absolute trash. Two frames mouth animation and the heads are triangles with circles as eyes. How can anyone like this crap?
Man is based. OP fandom is insufferable and i ve known and enjoyed this series since kindergarten
So true 😂. But as an long time on n off reader I do notice of Luffy's disrespect towards his opponents in fights, so of all the ways to use inaki's positive angelic energy I get it why they told him to keep a certain mr.Bean jewishy smile through the whole series. Still I want his dumb sides lol.

@@PickleDJar Why are you so angry over other people's opinions?
@@username-ew1deThat's how they are, you're either with them or against them, you can't have opinions. 😅
I don't think they even got any of the characters right, despite their efforts. East Blue is easily the weakest arc in the whole story, but it establishes the main characters and their dynamics almost perfectly. I don't think anyone could watch the LA and tell you what the core or each character is and how they fit into the crew dynamic, which you can easily do by reading or watching the original. They sanded off the rough edges (like Luffy's selfishness and bluntness, Nami's greed and temper, Zoro's hotheadness and sadism, Ussop's cowardice and self-agrandisement, Sanji's obstinance and lack of conviction among other things), made them spout marvel-esque quips and lame platitudes that you would never find in the source material, and completely missed that spirit that made them such compelling characters in the source material - which is the drive and ambition they all have. That raw tenacity, free-spiritness and self-belief that are the soul of the story. It feels like the LA straw hats are following Luffy just because "they might as well". Sanji and Ussop are done the dirtiest in that respect, they're barely even characters in their own arcs, but even Zoro is lacking his core character trait, which is his insane drive. Luffy himself is portrayed as some kind of self-help guru, and because they constantly made him an underdog for the sake of cheap tension he just comes across like he's full of hot air. I remember hearing that some viewers who were unfamiliar with the source material were surprised at how easy Luffy defeats Arlong in the end, because the episodes prior do not give you the sense that he's cartoonishly strong. Much of that is probably down to budget, but that's just another reason the LA was a bad idea. The characters at the heart of the story were perfectly crafted for a cartoon world. I think in the main the writers of the LA just suck as well though. Oda outclasses them when he was barely in his twenties. I can only imagine the Japanese translation of the script they gave him was much better because it's difficult to accept that he signed off on this shit. I guess even he feels the pressure of wasting a big studios money. The praise this show has been getting is crazy. I think it goes to show that you can be a fan of something without ever considering why you like the thing in the first place, so when you're presented something digestable that seems like the thing you like on the surface level you just accept it as being the same as the original thing you liked. Bit of a garbled sentence I know, but hopefully you get my point. Even though the LA cannot hold a candle to the original, criticism of it is treated like criticism of the original (and this isn't to say the original doesn't deserve criticism, only that it's more understandable why someone might get mad about it.)
Anyway, I think the tide of public opinion will turn in our direction sooner or later, especially with the same people writing season 2. Here's hoping they turn it around. I doubt they will, but a man can dream
The execution of many lines felt pretty cringe to me too and some other points you made were pretty accurate. This type of story only truly working in the medium it's in, not real life/live action
Be careful, they might attack you out of nowhere..
It would work with better emotive actors. It just feels so... dead.
let em seethe who cares@@chrispolo25
Zoro’s actor is the worst. There is 0 emotion or nuance behind his acting. Such a dull actor.
@@biterness2323 Sadly, I'd agree. Even in Rurouni Kenshin, Arata came out as hammy and too over acting which is really jarring because Takeru's acting is so natural and nuanced
So, about this whole 'masterpiece' thing with the Netflix "One Piece" - it's not as cut and dry as it seems. Yeah, you'll come across video titles throwing around 'masterpiece,' but if you actually dive into those videos, you'll find they're not just glossing over the issues. They point out the flaws, but still, they're vibing with the show overall. It's not about being flawless; it's more about the show hitting the right notes despite its imperfections.
And about the casting - Inaki Godoy as Luffy is just nailing it. He's really captured the essence of Luffy. Makenyu's take on Zoro? It's getting mixed reviews, but there's potential. Emily Rudd's Nami and Taz Skylar's Sanji? Both are bringing something special to the table. The show's visuals, like the Zoro and Mr. 7 fight? Pretty impressive stuff. They've done a solid job on the set and cinematography.
But, let's be real - the show isn't without its flaws. Yet, the strengths come from how much passion they've put into it. It's getting new fans into the original anime and offering a fresh perspective for the die-hards.
And here's the thing about adapting stuff - saying something only works in one medium is a bit narrow-minded. Look at "Guardians of the Galaxy" - we got emotionally attached to a talking tree and raccoon, for crying out loud! And Thor, a Norse god superhero? Totally works. It's all about how it's done. Same goes for "The Witcher" - from books to games to a hit series. It’s about the execution, not the medium.
Wrapping this up, Netflix's "One Piece" is more than a faithful adaptation. It's an effort to bring this epic story to a wider audience, and it's doing a decent job at it. Fans aren't just throwing blind praise; they're recognizing the good and the areas for improvement.
But honestly, I think the reviewer in this video is kind of missing the mark. Feels like they're the ones with the bias. It's totally cool to have different opinions, but let's not ignore why fans - flaws and all - are actually enjoying the show.
so not labeling it a masterpiece is why you think its biased... how very Fan boy of you.
It's pretty bad, I feel like I'm in bizzarro world.
Seriously. If you don't go out of your way to find a negative review, you won't hear a single criticism, at least not immediately followed up by, "But it's One Piece and Oda was involved, so it's good."
@@BaldorfBreakdowns there seems to be a shortage of videos criticizing it. i like a balanced review, not oda worship. i'm new to one piece so its a way to hear about details that where left out of the show and how the characters were supposed to be portrayed. interesting. you cant change the race or personality characteristics of beloved characters. no one likes that. makes no sense. it is only for edgy teens. the new young passionate audience that may as well be mentally disabled.

True story, my parents have never understood my love for anime or manga so when this got good reviews I hesitantly watched the first episode with them in order to hopefully win them over. My mom got up to do chores halfway through and my dad fell asleep shortly after. It was surprisingly terrible acting given the reviews, and most of the nuanced character moments and scenarios which make one piece unique were removed to make the episode shorter. Despite having read the manga multiple times and Essentially earning a UA-cam PHD in one piece I will NOT be watching the rest of the show…it’s just shit 😭
Good for you man. Atleast that's 1 minus gatekeeper on the list.
@markangelogarcia2136
Hes right. Most of the acting was God awful.
@@markangelogarcia2136 gatekeeper? Wtf are you on about?
this is the opinion of people that are fans of one piece. this live action is pure shit. I could only make it through two episodes by fast forwarding every 30 seconds.
Smart move. I watched it all, just to be thorough. It only gets worse.
Currently watching the anime & it’s currently one of my favorites. I’ve only seen the trailers and clips on UA-cam of this adaptation and I’ve hated what I’ve seen so far. When it comes to live action anime adaptations, I thought Alita Battle Angel and Speed Racer were pretty good, but I’ve hated every other adaptation I’ve seen. Disliked Death Note, disliked Bleach, and especially disliked Dragonball Evolution. Had a lot of people recommended me this show & I always say that I have absolutely zero interest in watching it. Same goes with live action Cowboy Bebop. Haven’t seen it yet, but I’d like to keep it that way. Also, with the announcement of Season 2 in development, I have so many fears over what live action Chopper will look like.
Netflix is just over her like “we don’t actually have to write scripts or characters. The manga and anime writers already did that for us. People will already be invested with these characters before they even watch this adaptation. Please give us your money and we will crap out another live action anime adaptation once we are able to secure the rights to it.” Wow these live action remakes are great and totally not relying on people’s love and nostalgia for the anime in the slightest.
Remember the old simpsons joke about homer chasing a dirty pig roast? “It’s still good, its still good 😢” thats the entire internet with this show
Amazing analogy
Reminds me of how Twisted Metal fans went CRAZY over the live action TV series. It really wasn't that great at all, and yet the fans were hyping it up because it had the Twisted Metal name attached to it. Fandoms are more than willing to defend a mediocre product so long as it's connected to the franchise. Like if it's bad, then it's bad. Don't try to die on a hill defending something that's terrible just because you're a fan. It's OK to not like something XD.

Wow the comparison with Mario movie was perfect. People get bizarrely angry when someone say he didn't like the movie that much. Critics were slightly positive about it and people still acted as if critics had said it was literally the worst thing since Hitler.

@@konnor2588the only thing that was cringe is zoro's backstory
I think the script did them dirty. Sure, the performances weren't all that but I literally cannot imagine anyone doing better with the shit they had to work with. They made Luffy a fucking self-help guru ffs
I think this video elucidates a key difference between what we expect from real life acting and anime which is why many of us find this show jarring. I just don't think I like live action period and also don't need it for a 1000+ anime episode franchise with a manga I can reread or watch. I don't think there is much character depth in One Piece, the manga relies on world-building, humour, historical backdrops and of course the fights to generate its drama, tension, and people's love for it. The anime extends this with Japanese voice acting, he kick-ass music and particularly in the latter episodes high high-production battles faithful to the art style.
I've seen some other reviews and most of the people giving good reviews has never read the manga or seen the anime.
And that's a W that was the main goal
@@royalfun1031 So the only good reviews come from TOURISTS seems about right.
Even though I haven't seen the anime or manga, I wouldn't be able to pass this sleep aid.
The series is bad without being an adaptation.
I know I’m probably setting myself up for a bad time here, but I have to be honest. I’m a MAJOR One Piece fan (it’s my favorite story of all time) and am caught up with both the manga and anime, have a ton of theories, and could not be more obsessed with the live action as well. Not only has it introduced all of my loved ones to my favorite story, it’s also incredibly fun and lighthearted to watch. My mom who is constantly making fun of anime and calling it “children’s cartoons” watched the entire thing with me and is eagerly awaiting season two. My best friend who’s only ever watched one anime in her entire life is now hooked on the story as well. How else would I have ever been able to have the pleasure of sharing One Piece with them? I’m so grateful for this adaptation, and even though it does have its flaws, they got it right in all the ways it matters. That’s not mediocrity, it’s having a deep understanding what to prioritize, what the goal is, and why people love this story. That’s what makes it great.
@@xmetalgamerx Man u got it just right
thank you. finally someone with a relatable opinion to this abomination of a live action
Absolutely agreed.
Finally! I thought I was going crazy! You literally spoke my mind a few times.
I feel like the marketing gaslit the fans into thinking this is a passion project. "Hey look at me! I'm Matt Owens the showrunner. I'm just like you. So I talk to popular One Piece youtubers and invite them on the set. Aren't I so relatable?" "Netflix: Look at how close the cast is. Just like the real Straw Hats." Not to mention that they probably made Oda sign a contract where he literally isn't allowed to say anything negative about it. Matt Owens is a hack, but his charisma stat is insane to be able to convince Oda to let him shit all over his legacy.
Oh yeah I was feeling the same way about the marketing
I don'r care about the cringe, its just that they cut out so much of the source material and the moments which I loved.
for me, it's the way they CHANGED so many things, like :
-garp as a character
-nami, nojiko & cocoyashi village whole story
-captain kuro raid
-zoro & mihwawk fight felt like random unimportant thug fight
.
they're not only cut the source material, the literally change it cuz the feels like it's not realistic. they literally can make cocoyashi story hte way they re and it wont feels less realistic.
it feels like they don't even bother read the source material at all. you can see it in nami and nojiko dynamic. nami & nojiko tattoo basically meaningless to them and doesnt really hold important value
One Piece live action should have been made by Stephen Chow. Who already made goofy anime style movies like Shaolin soccer, Kungfu Hustle.
An all Asian cast would have failed. The straw hats aren’t all Asians and don’t speak Japanese. English is more neutral language the world speaks.
I am 3 episodes in just bcos friends are talking about it, and it is bad...
Especially Zoro and Nami...both are just deadpan-ing...
In the early arcs, Zoro was goofy and Nami was very expressive, especially from all the shenanigans from Luffy!!
In the live action, both have hardy any expressions at all...
And it doesn’t help when the editing often zoom in on their expressions and make their faces look bloated as if we are looking through a fish bowl...
The thing with animes is, it is not using real human actors, thus everything can and usually are, exaggerated.
Which makes it fun as we mostly watch anime’s as an temporary escape from real life stresses.
Except Luffy, the rest of the Straw Hat crew are always looking depressed and lifeless...
Zoro is talking like a zombie when he’s not fighting...
I sincerely feel that, OPLA is given great reviews, just solely because the western countries have been getting shitty movies for a long while now, to the extent that mediocrity is celebrated as greatness.
Nami*.
Same feeling here, I feel like I don't mind a few changes to the storyline to streamline as long as they don't cut off important plot points but it's the acting that is so horrible. I feel like if you hire any Broadway theater actors they would deliver the lines much better. When I watch Nami and Zoro, Nami is so deadpan never smiles or really laugh (her one laugh looks forced) her speech pattern is pretty flat too she could study Nami English Dub VA who is good, Zoro still naturally sounds higher pitched than the Japanese VA but he tries to go low serious but in an ASMR style which was cringey he doesn't seem to talk at a normal volume at all. Luffy like in the video, his line delivery is so flat, monotonous, mono pacing. Worst case Nami is a fan of One Piece yet she doesn't act like Nami apart the crying scene Help me. I watched their interviews and feel like they are more natural and light hearted, laughs more brightly and naturally while having fun yet this mood and personality is missing in their acting 😢 they could have talk more naturally just like the interview they had but they talk so slow and flat here. Usopp and Sanji seems okay I'm only up to Ep 4 find it hard to watch. other characters like Helmeppp nailed it the most, funny I find the most of the side characters act better than the main cast here
The reason why people like this because of everybody's really, REALLY, REALLY low standards. And when I say that I don't mean that people are stupid for liking the live action version, it is because everything anime turned to live action that we have gotten was so trash that this is what passes for "good". People are so starved for decent content to the point that anything that passes for spot on representation of a thing that they enjoy at least in aesthetic sense it gets a pass.
Where were the fights it was 4/5 drama
LOW STANDARDS. buddy, my standards are so high i hate some popular anime because you guys have low standards like re zero or fucking solo leveling. that shit is just bad. Try watching full metal alchemist brotherhood or fucking avatar the last air bender. then come back with your so called low standards and judge this shit properly.

To be honest, this isn’t trying to insult people, but it’s been heavily documented and noted that the two most recent generations have dropped their average IQ levels by something of 70points in the last decade.
People have much shorter attention spans and are so very easily amused, so very easily entertained.
Even the slightest complexity in a show or movie and you’d see heavy amounts of people lacking any kind of understanding or meaning behind it, while they simultaneously taking songs like Cardi B’s wap and Lisa’s Rockstar and hyper analyzing them to hold truly deep and important messages.
It isn’t at all surprising that these atrocious live actions that are coming out, remaking old anime’s to ride the wave of success because they’re too lazy and inept to make their own works, have fans drooling over the content as if it’s some miraculous piece of work.
You can quite literally see comments of these shows and movies, that are genuinely bad, be positive, but only to the extent of few words, little to no explanation or detail in why said thing was good and void of independent thought.
With people barely using their own minds these days and people desperately looking for a scape goat in pretty much any situation they encounter in life, it is no wonder why there are few people criticizing and disliking this adaption.
When there really aren’t that many good shows and movies and the globe is riding the way of short term, meaningless content, you will end up with so many supporting a thing without even being able to articulate exactly why they enjoy it in the first place.
I think you are right. People have lowered their standards to the point where they praise mediocrity. And when the honeymoon phase is over, they jump to the next new thing and quickly forget about what they consumed before.
70 points?
Yeah I’d like a source for that claim as well, because all I can find about changing IQs is how it’s increased slightly in the last few generations!
@@Laiser only explanation i can think of for a number like that is maybe hes thinking of SAT scores or something

Thank you for this. People who have actually watched good shows with good writing, acting and directing should avoid this show, it's so cringe and mediocre specially Luffy and Zoro. As an adaptation it's alright at best, it still changes stuff like with Garp and Koby they gonna mess it up S2 just like The Witcher Season 2.
do not make another season of one piece IT'S TOTALLY STILL A CRINGE AND I'LL FUCKING GO INSANE AND CANCEL SUBSCRIPTION TO NETFLIX AND I'M FUCKING DEPRESSED
Thank you thank you thank you omg all these people praising the show, it's just really bad. As a huge one piece fan it just bothers me. Also I think a lot of people that are into this show actually know nothing about the anime or manga. So it's completely foreign to them maybe that's why. But anyone that was a big fan before and likes this, sorry but I just don't get it.
tom and jerry live action when
I think tom and jerry had a live action movie back in 2022
As someone who has seen Sin city, speed racer, and Scott pilgrim vs the world in real time, it’s sad how bad the directing is with this
Sin city is dope
For me, this isn't an adaptation, it's a series/soap opera teenager who has half One Piece plots and a cosplay cast that tries to half emulate the characters, But this entire cosplay rehearsal cost more than the darkest episode of GOT which cost 15 million (-_- )ﾉ⌒┫ ┻ ┣ ┳
We so use to mediocre content that this show is considered great
Ign has a reputation of having a very left leaning bias , so people don’t take them seriously anymore
The directing and camera work is by far my biggest issue with it. Camera's were often way too close to the actors' faces from weird angles. I don't understand what kind of audience the show is supposed to appeal to either, it's way too goofy for most adults/teens while being far too gory for kids. Meanwhile existing One Piece fans would almost certainly prefer the anime over the live action anyways. So I just don't get who this is made for. And if we ignore that it's a One Piece adaptation....it's just not a good tv show. Granted I haven't seen any of the infamously bad anime adaptations, so perhaps I don't have as low standards as others. But just because it's 'less bad' doesn't justify praising it. It still doesn't compare to just about every well-received tv show released in the past 20 years (and older).
I really wanted to love this and was hoping to get my non-anime watching family into it, telling them all about how the trailers looked pretty promising. Then one of them walked in on me watching the first episode (right at that overly melodramatic Zoro part you showed no less) and immediately pointed out the strange camera work by saying "oh no, is that how the whole show is filmed??!" and all I could do was nod in pain from the cringe.
Bless your heart for this criticism. Thought I was alone in thinking it wasn't the best thing ever. For an anime adaptation its the best but this thing was not perfect. A lot more i can say about it but whenever luffy wasn't on the screen, my enjoyment of the show went way up. It probably was the script but while i was watching i just assumed he couldn't act.
He conveyed Luffy well
No.... Luffy can be goofy, but he never got Luffy's serious side right. there are moment were luffy stops talking and become a "man of action" as he was taught by shanks. they made this actor be goofy almost all the times, and too emotinal some other times. But the real Travesty was the WEAK lines they made him say when he was suppose to say something else. a real shame@@royalfun1031
I think the complicated thing about Luffy is: Inaki, in real life, has the charisma and energy of Luffy. A really good match. But the writing of the show didn't help him, and he has a lot of developing to go throw regarding his acting skills. The boy who plays Koby for example, outshines him soo much. He tried so much to be exagerated as Luffy is, that most of the type he just looks like a psycho.
Well, Inaki was told to smile this certain Mr.Bean Jewish psychotic awkward way, and I immediately knew the reason why. The girl that plays Koby on the other hand I actually finds it a mischaracterization of Koby, being too terrified with a weird auric rhythm.
I agree with everything you said in the video and more including the changes to the plot of Arlong Park, Syrup Village and Garp bigger inclusion. People in these comments have no reasonable rebuttals and as a op fan it’s embarrassing. This is a decent project but it’s not great.

Then as a One Piece fan, if your looking for Oda to replicate key parts in the storyline, as you referenced. Wouldn't you rather just watch the anime for those key moments instead ? You can't expect both the anime and the live action to correlate identically, especially given the large difference in episodes between the two. Thats what makes it an adaptation in the first place.
@@nizzanator Why not have the same story in different Mediums like Disney? OHG RIGHT those failed BECAUSE they changed the Orignial stories. My bad i thought you had a point but you didnt.
@@nizzanator they’re supposed to that’s why they take the name to replicate the story in a different format the anime adaptation is a replication of the manga may not be an exact one but they aren’t changing key characters why not just name the live action “one piece alternate universe” or use a different name like game of thrones did in their adaptation of a song of fire and ice
Bro the show looks like Lazy Town after a 15 year time skip. It's atrocious to look at. I made the mistake of watching it in English where all the flawed and cringe dialogue shines out even more (compared to watching it in Japanese).
I didn't like one piece. The anime's was too long, repeated plot of leveling up, new challenge, leveling up, new challenge gets boring quick.
I came in watched this blind. and I think this is a fun watch. Supprising, i did not feel any cringe i usually does in this type of live actions.

Sounds more like I'm saying the show is trash.
I appreciate your intellectual honesty and fundamental understanding of criticism. I have now subscribed.
Here is my hottake: It needed more filler.
When some of those key momment's hit I just didn't believe that the crew cared about each other the way the show was implying. 12 episodes and those 4 extra episodes being character focuesd one off where we can settle in with the status quo whenever there is a new crew mate would have helped alot.
They were supposed to get 10 episodes. That changed partway through, and you can see some stuff ended up on the cutting room floor because of it.
@@kagato23 JUST CUT OUT THE GARP SHIT.
The garp story plot was probably the best part of the OPLA but if you don't like it, then okay@@snintendog
@@srsklab2013 how is it the 'best part'? He is OOC the entire FUCKING TIME. Garp is aloof a goof with a heart of gold. Not an old timey english navyman that is super cereal all the time. He is intimidating just because he exists and is strong not because of his personality. He is gentle in weird ways and an utter Menace to his crew like Luffy. He hates the Shichibukai and is against the program entirely. He sees potential in people and ignores their past. He has a 'If you want it done do it yourself' mentality often taking the lead of DOING before Ordering.
His Confrontation on Arlong's island is JUST WRONG. He wouldn't walk up to luffy after seeing he liberated an island threatening him. Instead he would either Grab him and tell him he is doing great Marine work and he should be a marine or he would give him a fist of love for saying he is a pirate and both scenarios would get Luffy to react as HE SHOULD both in fear and then confrontation that never escalates past that Love Punch. Garp is insanely soft on friends and family. His hardass personality only shows up when it comes to pirating and even then he would see Luffy's crew and see that they are good people as well... probably tell them to become marines too get shot down and move on with dealing with the reason he came there ARLONG. He would make up the excuse he was rounding up the Fishmen and let the town say their goodbyes and let Luffy escape.
Not only that but time line is 100% wrong. He entered the East blue as Luffy left it.
Fuck that
"the following is just my opinion" the title : one piece live action is awful, stop lyin ngas a hypocrite and js objectively wrong
It's a pretty weirdly inflammatory title for someone who was made a whole video criticizing someone for being weirdly inflammatory and rude to their audience yeah.

He’s a hypocrite but it’s not objectively wrong to not like something
Sometimes as hard as you try to present something in good faith, theres no way to sugarcoat it. If you liked this show, you have low standards for entertainment.

I'm about to check into a psychiatric ward, because the amount of people
praising this show is making me feel like something is wrong with me.😅
I couldn't even stand watching half of the first episode, it's painfully cringe. I believe there is many ways to make it less cosplay looks too, but idk why they just go through with it. Also the script and the act, it's remind me off my otaku friends when they joke a japanese joke in English, it's terrible to say the least.
But Luckily I watch this one first before go to the avatar live action series. So my low expectations getting paid off with good reality.
I wish that they made more episodes or some with more pirate action, I wanted to see the armada and don creed battle (like as finale for season 1) with many ships and an actual sea battle (change the fight between ruffy and don creed a bit for life action and boom percect pirate series)

I don't understand how people can't see how out of touch the actors are with the characters their suppose to play. It's like all they did was get an idea and now their just playing on that.
When i saw how cast acts more like their characters in outside sources like promo videos and shorts, I started to put all the blame on the director. They are a perfect fit but there's only that much they can do with the script they were given.
Alright to the people in the comments can you actually explain why its good? Thanks or why in perticular like it? Would like to hear your thoughts
Oda was involved.
P.S. I don't think it's good.
Because I laughed when it was trying to be funny, felt sad when it was tragic, and rooted for the protagonists to win.
They cant its only VAGUE feelings which were carried over from their OG watch filling in the MASSIVE GAPS.
I agree with most of what you say but nearing the end of the video you went into a really bad argument, despite sites like IGN having different people reviewing shows and games, their reviews should be somewhat uniform, cause that's how you build a reliable source of critique for your audience, if every IGN reviewer is gonna have wildly different taste and opinions then there's no reason to check IGN at all, since you won't be able to tell if that reviewer's opinion and taste aligns with yours at all even if you check what score they gave to a piece of media you already consumed and agree with the score, it wouldn't matter cause there's no guarantee of a standard scoring bias, and that's failling at basic journalism.
Second you whined about people coming down on critics and reviewers, and said they shouldn't care but that's just dumb, critic scores and bad reviews can hugely affect if a piece of media will have more or less space, if more people will check it out, if investors will be interested, if the studio will give them a green light for more seasons, etc. So yeah people that care about a piece of media will and should care what critics say, cause it can just flat out kill that piece of media.
And also, despite diverging tastes and opinions, reviewers should be also objective and knowledgeble about what they're talking about, like you did when you mentioned the set and prop design for this LA, and with that in mind there's no reason IGN would ever give She Hulk a higher score than this, that show it's just objectively worse in every way from production, to the script, to the acting. Just proves how bad IGN is at journalism in general.
People keep talking about how they screwed up Zoro but they also screw up Nami and Usopp, Nami is way too deapan much like Zoro is in this show and less money crazy, as for Usopp he's somehow a bigger coward than he was in the anime/manga version of East Blue
Finally a video where someone speaks truth. I was surprised so many people defend this. I expected it from new viewers, not anime fans.
Anime fan here. I liked it. I think y’all just wanna look cool for not liking something that even loves
Same, the main issue with it for me is there is no humour between any of the characters, remember when liffy would annoy zoro and zoro would shout at him in such a comedic way, its all gone now
Yep.
Anime in general is with few exceptions absolute trash. Two frames mouth animation and the heads are triangles with circles as eyes. How can anyone like this crap?
@@EbonyPope Most sane anime hater
This show is far from awful how about you stop lying. However it’s far from perfect and it does nothing to prove that anime shows can be made into live action. Truly the show is good on its own, in the sense if you watch it without have seeing the anime than you can actually get joy from it. If you know both the anime and manga you can at least see the appeal to a degree but you can also see its faults. Overall I think it’s a good show with actual care put into it.
Ngl I tried really hard but I just could not get through this show It's so cringy and stupid.
What are you pegging it to though, Schindlers list? It's decent, nothing spectacular or great but it doesn't have to be, it's head and shoulder above the average TV show and it has good spirit
You can't really ask for much more from a live action of such a different medium with limited time and budget; if it performs well netflix will likely be less apprehensive and invest more time, money and effort and the show runners should be able to improve the quality of after learning from what went well and what didnt

@@umbrellaunderdog They put in effort, they're limited by experience and resources; mediocrity is fine if it's above average and enjoyable, not every piece of media has to be on the level of Shawshank Redemption

@@hiphopheaven After so many failures in adapting the art form, of course companies are skeptical to completely let loose on time and budget, even for the biggest manga's

I thought it was good. A new way to introduce family and friends to the show. A lot of people in my area picked up either the manga or anime, after checking it out. Manga and anime have a certain stigmatisme to them that this live action managed to avoid, for both younger and older audiences.

I would also like to point out that the lines need to be true to the source material, since the whole of the one piece story is interconnected one way or another other. Will they be cringy? yes. Will they give some weird unexpected, and perhaps uncomfortable moments? yes. They rewrote and reshoot certain scenes because the author of One Piece, deemed it necessary. Some of those changes will make people cringe, some will be for the better. For the people who get through season 1, will probably take great joy in whats to come, and there are alot of people who did. What sucks about ign is their lack of standards, since as you pointed out, there are individuals who do these ratings, and they usually put a lot of their personal prefrence into their ratings. Like just look at som of their pokemon reviews. I get that this won't be for everyone, but that goes for anime and manga in general to. Anyhow, appreciate the video, hope you check out S2 when it aires as well.
Man I have so many things to curse, but instead I'm going to start praising, the marketing department of this bomb deserves a raise, because the way they handled the emotional appeal in marketing it is a masterstroke, Oda approved this project I only say one thing to you Oda Sucker he approved all the miserable films except one of One Piece, all.
I honestly don't care if the author liked it because what he liked was the money, that Live Action bastard who has no soul didn't understand the manga and got this stupid advocacy from fans and people who never touched the original for those who are not fans, liking is less important because these people no longer have the desire, now fans of the original to say that Live Action surpassed this possibility makes me revolt, at most I would say that this Live Action is further proof that the worst adaptations are made to prove themselves to everyone and unfortunately this prevents a true reading of the essence of a work Alita battle angel Some people cursed and I saw much more of the essence than this series that cost much more per episode And another thing, being faithful doesn't make you good. Edge of Tomorrow may go unnoticed as an adaptation of a manga and light novel and it's great to use this excuse of following the original, it just proves to me that these guys think One Piece is just stupid and congratulations they managed to be more childish than the stupid manga, the supposedly inferior manga is much more mature than this LazyTown worse than LazyTown.
I love you. It's a cringe shit.
Been watching One piece since 2002. Never even bother watching this live action. My nephew loves it though.
This video and comments are like a form therapy to me!
No matter how well-made a show or movie might be. It doesn't take from the fact that a live action shōnen adaptation is IMPOSSIBLE. It's because of the hyperreality animation provides, that the kind of dialog and the way it's delivered in this type of shows work. If you remove these elements, all that's left is unbearable CRINGE. The kind of cringe that only a small child would think nothing of.
You should watch the Naruto stage plays. It's basically the anime... but on theatre.
One piece live action sucks, I am with you
The acting is god aweful.... glad someone who makes videos finally noticed
And Is mihawak gay in LA? He sure sounds like one😂
RIGHT LIKE THE ACTING IS SO MONOTONE
Luffy in the anime looks like a reckless cool strong captain.
But then in the live action he looks like he’s a special Ed Indian scammer cosplaying.
Also buggy the clown looks like an old homeless clown that had their clown crap attached to him permanently.
And then there’s luffy’s gum gum fruit that whenever he stretches in the anime looks epic and makes him look tough and then in the live action it just looks…bad.
Also Garp is not him in the live action.
Also the rest of the characters look like cosplayers on a very low budget.
For me, the LA was great for what it set out to do. To adapt this concept alone is a great feat, the actors were great, the way they condensed it wasn't perfect but it worked, and the people involved deserve their flowers. But that's it. LA Luffy was never going to be 1:1 with og Luffy and that's fine but honestly speaking, the writers are walking on thin ice here and any sudden moves WILL make or break the future episodes. (If LA Luffy mentions being a good pirate one more time I'm gonna drop kick something) The only thing I want to hope for is that Oda holds a tighter leash and Netflix realizes they need more than 8 episodes. I enjoyed OPLA but as it is, considering their budget and its flaws, I don't see a future post Alabasta.
Also, I'd argue that only fans liking OPLA is wrong. There's plenty of fans who despise it and there's plenty of non-fans who saw it and are being convinced to watch the source material.
As someone who wasn't a One Piece fan, I absolutely loved the live action show, unironically. I even teared up at about 4 different points, laughed at the jokes, and rewinded on the fight scenes or camera shots just because I thought they looked cool. I even caught myself humming the soundtrack afterward because it's just really catchy. I've always heard that this is one of the greatest stories ever told, and after binging the Netflix adaptation since Thursday, I finally understand. I see why this story, it's world, and its characters impacted lives, young and old alike around the world for over 25 years. I didn't watch or read One Piece because the designs looked freakish to me and I didn't have the time. But, now this wonderful story has been brought to life with love and care by everyone who obviously put their heart and soul into it. Nearly everything in it was approved by Oda himself and I'm so glad that he picked this guy to play Luffy, he IS Luffy to me. Same to the rest of the cast. I'm glad that I get to see this story with GOOD pacing that cuts straight to the heart of it all, while still leaving in the subtle down-to-earth character moments. The set design was so immaculate that I felt like I was in this world, going on an adventure with this found family, it genuinely moved me. Even the dialogue that may seem like anime cosplay cringe. I didn't think so because from literally the first scene, the narrator says that this is "A world like no other" or something like that, so it's already telling you to suspend your disbelief. I'm not making excuses for bad acting or bad writing either because I FELT the emotion and I just can't deny that. idk maybe I'm in the honeymoon phase and someone will pick it apart later and reveal how bad it REALLY was but I still won't deny that this made me a One Piece fan

Im one of the rare ones. Someone so invested in the manga and anime the LA had absolutely no shot in pleasing me. And i knew this from the first teaser shots we got showing the set pieces. I fully agree with nearly every criticism you have. I fond it hyper annoying that the loud casual fans even shut down comments from people who clearly know more about the source material than they do, and can spot all the inconsistencies that are there, and how the changes made can actually have dramatic consequences to character motivations and how we see or empathize with situations. Zoro was stsrving for 20 days before Helmeppo stomps that rice ball into the dirt 30 times. That little girl risk desth to give it to him, so ZORO still ate it. That whole things is just gone in the LA. Instead, the guy just looks like a jerk for zero reason. And then netflix adding in completely unnecessary bs like nude Helmeppo butt. Why was that necessary at all? They’re PC’ing the characters too. Why? They already swapped Jaskier on The Witcher. Why do it to Colby and Helmeppo? Why push that change? Especially if this is supposed to be fan service and being sticking so closely to the source? The problem is, they picked and chose what was canon and what is creative introduction by their team. I call it the shiny turd who gives me motion sickness. Why so many Orbit shots during the action? Whats with the ridiculously unnecessary close ups? A can go on and on with questions on just the first episode? Why does Zoro’s feet never touch the wall when he wall runs around the pool?
And that's probably why Oda called it Inaki and his crew, lol.
That failed Zoro wall run annoyed me too. Orbit shots was them trying to show off the continuous flow of action sequence. Close ups was them trying to make the viewers feel like part of the crew, or having the same role as interactors.
@@Timerooy i wanted to like it, but i love the oh so deeply no LA was ever gonna be good enough. I’m fine with it existence i guess. Odds finally got his real big boy windfall. Which he does deserve. But i also fear what that will do to his motivations and how that could ultimately influence decisions in the story. Other than it’s whatever. But I’m still firm in my beliefs for not liking it. I still say this needed a Peter Jackson type person to do the LA. Not just a Netflix writer fanboy that only job was to convince Oda into signing a contract and then the Netflix team took over. I dont feel this “showrunner” is actually doing anything. He doubt he has any real say at all anymore. Other than to be PR spokesman for the Netflix team.
@@JoeyTheSinic they're going for the pompous dead gaming reality in the name of LA, which I find greedy and waste of a huge budget, not like I can do better but I just can tell Oda is not happy with their approach in honoring and respecting his work, definitely not coming into terms during script discussions.
Completely agree with what you said about that scene with Zoro. They take so much away from the characters by completely removing the context of WHY they say and do certain things in the manga. Zoro (again as an example) is incredibly mentaly strong and above all a man of honor and of his word. In the manga when he is first introduced with the scene that you described he is bloody and starving but still smiling with determination, something that is completely missing from the LA where he's only a melancholy dramaqueen.
@@RemiRecluse THANK YOU! I don’t get how that logic is so hard to understand for some of these people. Its actually kinda tainted my view on culture and kinds believe some of the stories ivd heard from content makers amongst my friends. The general audience is mostly giant idiots who only care about the visuals and don’t care about the story. Makes sense now. Every mrbeast video is the same format. Every netflix anime adaptation is done the same way. But people just wanna say I’m a hater, when I’m not. Bc its easier to label someone rather than to listen to them.
I hated OPLA, but im actually excited for the new live action Avatar. Now that show looks like they actually tried and it showed.
Also, directors tend to throw temper tantrums these days when fans don't like shows. It's comical how much hypocrisy you have in you. When she hulk didn't do well they screamed "bigotry" and "misogyny". Oh and by the way the director himself called out critics. They said that the show wasn't political enough; that Luffy should have been gay and that One piece catered too much to the fans. Entertainment is a buisness and the way to make money at the box office is to cater to the audience that would be the most hypes for the coming product. Fans have the right to clap back. They are not annoying or toxic if they voice their opinions. Please learn how the entertainment buisness works.
I didn't even realize that was supposed to be Alvita at first. How are you going to ruin the first villain?
the first two episode isn't that bad. but the rest are just dissapointment.
i still remember when oda said that he wont let netflix release one piece LA until it's meet his standard. he the one who delayed it even though it's ready to air. this statement is shown that there is something horribly wrong with the adaptation that made oda say something like that. but most of the fandom act like they dont know it. they say it's masterpiece and change is justified (even though they often complaint slight change in anime).
.
how can they're okay with how garp potrayed in the movie? how can they okay with how zoro fight with mihawk tone down like random fight without much witness, how can they be okay with so many change in syrup arc?
and for me, the worse is how they change nami and nojiko dynamic for making nami look like a STRONG independent women. do they think nami is weak as character in manga? that nojiko tatto which share strong meaning with nami is basically meaningless and random. nojiko and the whole town just like a asshole unlike in the heartwarming truth in manga.
.
i often talk about it with my friend and they do share same thought. it's butchered but somehow everybody like it and considered it a masterpiece without a flaw. the LA literally shit on the source material and change so many things because they dont see it fits. they literally can share the same without making it weird.

Get over it. The actor of luffy said that they wanted to honor the fans of one piece, and the way to do that is to. make it feel like the original cartoon. I bet you are a Disney shill.
i really hate it when luffy keeps on repeating "friends" and "king of the pirates". It's not that redundant in comparison to the anime. Luffy says it like 10x an episode here in LA. Garp is just bad, i dont like him. His tone is too soft which is just out of character. There are more complaints but ill just take this for now.
Oda is a sellout.
People are just easily amused with mediocre garbage these days. This is nothing but cheap soap opera, Netflix cringe
Yeah my best friend who is HUGE one piece fan prefers this THING over the anime and luffy actor is nothing but “scream this or scream that or say a quick marvel one liner”🤮
It is awful as far as I have seen but still wouldn't go as far as to call it garbage.
not really sellout. the first two episode is not that bad and i belive oda still monitored it. by the time he went to focus on film red, netflix mess with the whole story and that's what lead oda to state, he wont let netflix release the LA unless it's meet his standard.
and i belive he lowered his standard because it was to late to change because of the budget.
From the perspective of someone who has never watched the anime or read the manga, I absolutely loved this show. I think the show has a lot of the cliche anime stylings, but in a good way. The anime hair, the way the main character says he’s going to become _______ every 10 minutes, etc. the cinematography was outstanding, not sure that could be knocked as a negative.
From what others have said, it sounds like they toned down the main characters and let the actors make them their own, but keep their essences.
Sometimes I do think scenes are a little cringe, but then something amazing happens. Some of it is cringey in a good way I think.
This show definitely made me a One Piece fan and I’ll probably binge the manga or the anime over the winter.
Huge W in this ocean of negative comments
I'm Glad it does. I wouldn't be able to disassociate the Original content to the show since I've been watching one piece for 20 plus years. and this arc "Romance Dawn" I've seen and read Many times over and 3 different languages I'm very familiar with.
I appreciate the love they are bringing with the show, as its running i can see improvements too. and the fact that you confirmed that people who's never seen it are liking it make me happy! I hope it keeps going and it keeps getting better. My dream is that they deliver the Iconic lines just like the Original though. everything in between can be passable with a little change. but certain Lines are Quintessential to the show.
Okay then dont watch it or make any videos about it
The bleach Live action movie was excellent. I wish One PIECE live action was a little more like that. I can say, IT was some what better than the Dragon ball live action Movie they made.
Yes I agree, like I love actual one piece, but i feel like it only really works in the anime world. If they did a lovr action for other animes like maybe castlevania or steins gate it may be better
