Eiichiro Oda wrote in a letter about his involvement and how many of the scenes were reshot later as the actors became more cohesive. He said he knows there will be some differences but that it still works cohesively and he knows that there will be people that aren't happy about changes but that it just comes from a place of love for his work. I think thats a very realistic and positive way to think about such an adaptation for live action.
Considering nothing can be 100% adapted from one media to another it makes sense. There is a reason each media exists. You can do certain things in movies, tv shows, books, comics and manga that you can’t do in the others. Changes should always be expected when translating from one media to another. Things you couldn’t do in a book or manga but can in a tv show should be added. Things you could do in a book but not a tv show should be removed. As long as the heart of the story is the same and you do your best to make sure your not ruining what your adapting. I’m not expecting a shot by shot. I’m expecting some things to be left out or changed. I’m also expecting we might get some things not in the manga that Oda got to add it in because he either thought of it after doing the manga/anime or because it translates better in live action than in manga or anime form. I’m not expecting it to be better than the OG. But I am expecting the feelings I got watching the OG to be similar. At least that’s my hopes for this.
@@ForestSen True, I see some of this in the way they decided to make Arlong look. Arlong, like many other characters has a very oversized body compared to a normal person. Trying to get close to that without using any cgi is probably impossible. Of course they may have a slightly better chance if one of the strongest men in the world suddenly became a talented actor but otherwise it will always look abit off. My guess is that any character with weird/huge body's will probably not be the best lookalike. It's a shame but i can fully accept why they will look weird.
Yeah there will be certain restrictions with the shifting medium as well as restrictions from networks and only being a certain amount of time to put everything together. That's good to hear, though.
Oda created one piece for people to enjoy, laugh and cry at their homes. And since these actors said that they're recreating a live action of one piece out of love and respect of Oda's work. I was skeptical they'd ruin it, but thank god they didn't disappoint. (Tho I don't like one piece in English dub😂) But I guess if you put your heart into the work, the outcome is good (unlike disn- *cough
If Chopper does make a live action appearance, they should go the route of Detective Pikachu, just have Chopper with realistic fur and clothing textures. Might be hard to pull off but would look great
I'm very impressed by the attention to detail. Like it's actually made for fans first, rather than going for a general audience. Feels like a very accurate retelling of the OP story. It looks goofy as fuck, but OP is goofy as fuck, so it kinda fits.
If Arlong has more personality in the actual show then I'll be fine, I just don't want him being the generic dramatic tough guy who says threatening things in a low growly voice, which is all they really gave us in the trailer
My hope is that with the Nami scene taking place at night and them arriving at Arlong Park in the daytime, they're going to use a sunrise to make the whole sequence more epic.
I just hope it shows them marching to Arlong Park in unison, like footsteps fully in synch, military style. I think that would convey the seriousness that the walk to Arlong Park conveyed on the anime and manga.
Oda said that the scene between Luffy and Nami with her crying was heartbreaking and he loved it. Also there is a theory that the reason they are doing the Nami x Luffy scene at night is because they wanted to have the sun being behind them as they are walking to Arlong Park.
I think the main problem with Arlong is that he’s not that buff. Compared to the series where he’s a hulking behemoth over Luffy, he just looks like a normal guy with a cool face. Heck, his henchmen look more built than him.
The guy is actually pretty damn buff. It's just that he doesn't tower over everyone unlike the manga. Can't expect actors to pump themselves with steroids all the time (looking at u, rock). Maybe some special effects/angles could've made him appear taller, perhaps? I think thats the biggest reason people find him weird looking
Arlong is fine if they were going for a more practical effects version of him & that's OK. I rather have him look real than a cgi monstrosity that looks fake.
You've already said it "compared to the series" villains in OP are often represented as huge beasts even being humans in order to picture the threat they are, BUT, that's an anime/manga resource, doesn't need to be the case here, the actor is already 2m height 💀
im wondering how they will do the scene where he holds zoro up and tears his shirt, i guess they might not bother, but tbh that scene in the manga was so poignant to me, so i hope they do, but with that arlong and zoro being a decently buff actor as well, might look weird haha
I think my biggest gripe with the visual of Arlong is that he doesn't seem bulky enough. Arlong was a hulking beast of a character. I get that they're going for that realism vibe, but FISH PEOPLE. Maybe Thanos him up a bit to a grander size to make him more threatening.
i felt like they should have done the whole marvel CGI thing where the cover them in suits and go complete CGI other gripe is i think the outfits seems fresh out of the box not normal enough espically the OG outfits
Regarding Arlong not looking buff and many fans' complaints about the live-action version looking too weak, this direction is a better story wise , especially regarding future arcs like Sabaody Archipelago and fishermen island. Arlong is a fallen fishermen pirate who's been mooching off Coco village for the past 10 years while enjoying his retired life and terrorizing the weak. Him not being buff and instead washed-up and skinny fits the narrative of someone who hasn't faced a serious opponent since his days with the sun pirates. TDLR: Retired-looking but intimidating dad Arlong aint to bad
@@Greennoob2 Ye, I agree, but I think it was more how strong the fishmen were compared to the human species/ fruit users like Luffy. More about his species being naturally stronger than being physically strong like Jimbei, who actually trains and fights regularly
This trailer was much better than the first one. It made my skeptical hope go to not as skeptical faith. They got the vibe of One Piece perfectly. Luffy’s stretching actually looks really good too. Buggy’s chop-chop powers also look great. Arlong, aside from the nose, is the best they could do in live action (he was always going to look a little weird in live action). Overall, looks great
Agreed, the only thing I feel like would've made this perfect is having the visual crew of Pirates & the Caribbean be in charge of all the visuals, makeup, and outfits for the series, and it would Chef's kiss.
It's fascinating how the general consensus on this adaptation seems to have shifted from "Yeah, this is gonna suck, no doubt" to "Well, maybe it won't be *that* bad..." to "Oh shit, this might actually be good!"
where did you get the data lol? it is only the coping fans that overhype the trailer, there are many disappointing scenes in the recent trailer like sound/music, arlong and shanks, and dark CGI scene. The cowboy bebop la nailed the character costume but still failed hard so......
Bro, we're talking about One Piece, they fucked it up if it isn't goofy as hell(especially since it is east blue, a lot of people forget how goofy One Piece was early on and honestly still is)
I haven't watched or read One Piece before, but I'd love this series to succeed. We'd need a good "see? this is how you do it" series for anime adaptation for future projects to look at, because I doubt they will stop adapting anime into live action.
@@lightningjadejavier Oh yeah, I'm on my third run now. It has the feeling of an anime but toned down just enough to not be weird in live action, while also not being too realistic and losing the charm. The cast had great chemistry, fights were awesome and music was great. I might even start the anime while I wait for season 2.
@@_Zer0Gr4vity_ do it!!!! I promise you as someone who watched one piece before it exploded with like g5 and this live action I'm very happy that one piece is THE anime to break the netflix curse, and to recommend it to EVERY. SINGLE. NEW. FAN. so as someone who was here before one piece becoming famous imma say it now, it's the most beautiful story you'll ever see! It had me balling in sooo many arcs!!! I'm the 2nd last arc rn about to enter the final anime arc, and well I'll meet you there bro!!!
@@_Zer0Gr4vity_ like i promise you, starting the anime now, is the perfect time to start it. Cause even though 1000 episodes seems... Long, i promise you it'll actually go by waay faster than it should. Plus you get to enjoy stuff that the live action will release before the live action! Like me!!! I feel like i should tell you something more about what to expect... But nahhh you can figure out that sadness for yourself.
If filiming the CGI in dark environments helps keep the budget manageable and makes the scenes look and work better overall, then by all means let them do it ❤
I feel like the trailer did really change a lot of expectations for a lot of people. A few months, everyone was sure it's gonna be shit, after the teaser people were on edge and now the mood is mostly positive. Lets hope it doesn't dissappoint.
watched the trailer and none of the character seems to share the same personality as the manga character for one they made luffy self aware. not sure why people think this looks good myself
@@vincenthammons-kd9du anime and manga are too exaggerated, where in a real life setting its either edgy or cringe and one of the most said criticism about the teaser and trailer is how goofy the anime and manga is in live action because a fantasy anime like one piece is not meant for live action but the fact that something that is nearly impossible to adapt to live action has CGI that looks somwhat bearable and edible is very promising. Take jojo or any other anime with a sense of weirdness to it and take one of its most goofy character and do a line/pose/cosplay in the open in public while saying his catchphrases or lines from the show, sounds cringe right? If that doesnt convince you then imagine a 14 year old on a zenitsu cosplay walking up to you then leaning forward then saying "Thunder breathing: first form" in public, now thats gotta be cringe. Thats because anime like i said is exaggerated in terms of design and personality. The only out of character thing ive felt so far from the anime and trailer is luffy's change in humour and zoro's colder personality which he only got after timeskip since at the early days of strawhat crew he was either laughing, fighting, drinking sake, or sleeping, other than that nami's assertiveness can be seen, zoro's loyalty, we didnt get to see much of ussop, and sanji and zoro's dynamic of one-upping each other is still very much there. For a live action adaptation that only looks kinda goofy for an anime/manga that was REALLLY goofy is a plus imo.
I think the producers already deserve some respect for doing something impossible. Scenes from a live action One Piece that doesn't look like a complete pile of dog shit. That trailer definitely got me excited to watch the series. what a time boys
I was so surprised seeing this trailer. My friend told me about it and I told her 'I'm not gonna bother watching that crap' because I was convinced it's was going to be the so maniest live action disappointment but it actually looks...kinda good??? I'm impressed with what I've seen so far!
I think the best they can do for Chopper should a mix between Pikachu from Detective Pikachu and Sonic from the Sonic movie. Give him fur that actually makes it look like a living creature, while the face is the same one from the manga and anime, with probably just a few tweaks to the eyes and mouth to make it fit with the fur. And i think that would be a pretty solid Chopper. I personally think the series will be kinda successful. So i do expect Alabasta and Skypea to be Season 2 and Season 3. From there on, it all depends. Alabasta is kinda guaranteed, i think. It would be the perfect Season 2.
As someone who only recently started One Piece, I can fully agree that moment when Luffy put his straw hat on Nami is still one of the most impactful scenes I have seen thus far. 😁
@@shinobuu__ shenlong comes after goku searching the dragon balls, sees kaido, both dragons become friends, kaido says wororororo, shenlong hisses in reply, they go to their honeymoon, luffy and Goku left alone, they go to an eating contest, eat the whole universe. the end
That was the moment that really made me love this manga I was about to drop it but but thankfully I kept going and its only gotten better and now 20 years later and this story still brings me to tears
Most One Piece villains are designed really tall to convey and carry that sense of danger and authority. It's a great to visually convey how imposing and dictating they are as characters. In the live action they probably can't just upscale humans (either the CG cost or too goofy) so these traits need to just be conveyed through acting. Makes the actor's jobs harder.
While understandable for a good number of human characters who are randomly 8-12 foot tall, i feel there is plenty of characters that if scaled down will ruin them both in terms of power but thematically as well. If Dorry and Broggy are only like 7-8 foot tall I’ll be fucking pissed.
This is true, and it makes sense for human characters like Garp and Roger to be normal sized in the adaption, but I feel they could've scaled Arlong up just a bit. A little camera trickery could've done the job. I think there's some villains that really need to be big, and others who can be scaled down fine - though there's obviously nor an exact criteria for that
What makes me the most hype is that it really feels like a passion project. The details they put in there, that are not necessary but still present, are stuff that you would only do if you really like the source material. Can't wait ^^
A new letter from Oda came out when this trailer came out notifying that the show went through numerous reshoots to get Luffy right or the feeling of the scene to be as close to the manga as possible and he went on some trips to the set to supervise filming
Man ..? Oda went above and beyong for one piec3....Hopefully, he will be alive or at least give a written statement in case if he passed away before finishing the one piece manga that the ending was his idea.
I think Arlong looks great for being a live action version of an anime character. Obviously it's gonna look a bit off for us, but they stayed as true as they could to the anime and I love it.
Man... have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean ?? if you have you know it in ur heart that they could do better... i'm just sad that they aren't even trying these days....
@@sanketlalwani4284 " have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean" that was a whole expesnive film studio, Netflix doesn't have that. "i'm just sad that they aren't even trying these days...." bro your just straight up trying to come up with excuses to whine about XD
@@sanketlalwani4284 POTC 2 has a budget of like 200 mill and is a movie that is about 2 hours long, whereas the live action has a budget of about 150mill and a total runtime of around 7 hours. There is also the fact that most of the CGI characters like davy are generally seen in dark areas, although that can be argued against as the live action too attempts to keep the fishmen in the dark a majority of the time. The live action is also in it's first season which gave it less reason to be higher budget since live actions have not exactly been cherished in the past. It seems pointless to compare the two when they have a bigger gap between them than me and a functional member of society.
One thing I really loved about this trailer was how it was shot/directed, which, to me, shows great promise to how every scene will be shot. Roger's intro was 🔥and probably the perfect way to start off the trailer.
If you didn't see it, Oda putout a letter saying how excited he is and saying he stands behind the adaptation. As long as they don't miss on the Nami scene I think it'll be great.
Having Oda supervise the whole thing and give them his blessing was the best decision Netflix could have done. More adaptations should have the original creator (if they're alive) supervise any live action that comes from a non-real life media.
It is absolutely not their choice. It was a demand by Oda himself. I guarantee to you they are not happy about it, as most producers and directors despise the involvement of the author. In this case, the director is a Fan, so he likes it, but I doubt Netflix was that into it. Oda and Shueisha were the ones to demand it, and they achieved it by negotiation.
Too me this is a double edged blade. Obviously it’s good because without him any corners they cut are decided by someone we don’t know otherwise they are forced to adapt it 1 for 1 (lol not happening). But that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily better that oda can make the call and say change it like this and he’ll be happy… coz that’s just more for the fans to blame him lol. When it comes down to it he probably has 0 influence of actual visual effects and only can influence the pacing/story…
I think the main reason why this trailer has the community mostly feeling positive about it is because it has the essence of One Piece. From this most recent trailer it FEELS like One Piece and that's all you need to have when adapting it to live action. If Oda wasn't overseeing this project as closely as he has it probably would've been a miss.
I wholeheartedly agree, but I think we really need to also give credit to so many people who worked on this who love and adore One Piece. It's not just Oda's involvement, it's also because the whole production came from a place of love and not just some soulless moneygrab trying to get as much out of this as possible with as little effort as possible. Yeah of course the execs behind the scenes have that as their main motivation regardless, but the staff went above and beyond to make this feel right, and that's worth crediting :)
my thoughts on the Nami scene being at night is that they want the walk to Arlong to be as the sun rises. dont know if im thinking too much about it, but i think that would be an awesome setting for those sets of epic scenes.
I'm trying so hard to be sceptical about this live action, but... I just can't. I just get SO EXCITED with every piece of news I get about it, especially after this trailer.
Tbh I think this trailer did exactly what it needed to do and addressed the areas where people were a bit weary in the teaser trailer making people open up and feel more excited to watch it
As someone who has never watched One Piece or much of any anime (I know I'm an outlier here), this is looking great as a both a live action standalone series and a visually faithful recreation of all the art I've seen of it over the years. Especially with the creator having such a close hand in the development à la JK Rowling with Harry Potter, it's looking like it will satisfy both fans of the anime and new, fresh viewers alike! I'm looking forward to watching it!
In Brazil, there was a TV series inspired by a book series called “Sitio do Picapáu Amarelo”. It was a children’s show set in a fantastical world. The effects were not very impressive, but they did not detract from the story. This is similar to what I think about this show. As long as the special effects are not so bad that they overshadow the plot, it will probably be a success.
I think what felt odd in Arlon's appearence is his build. Not that the original Arlon is strong or huge, but when brought to this perspective (live action) if Arlon's build was of a huge mfer, it would help him fulfill his role of a menace. Just like his underling (that Sanji kicks) earlier on the trailer.
So glad to see you checking the trailer out here. Really excited for this season. I’m sure it will be awesome. One Piece is such a hard thing to adapt but I think they’ve put their heart and soul into making this a good adaption.
I think it's mostly the build that makes Arlong look goofy, because in the manga and anime he's Oda hulking thicc while in this live action he has regular human proportions
To me that was a good call. There's certain aspects from animation that don't translate well to live action. If they kept Arlong's size it would have looked ridiculous imo.
I think also that all the prostetics makes hes face look bigger and that makes hes body unintentionally look smaller. I think body to face ratio is what makes it look goofy and small.
I don't get the gripe people have over the day and night for the CGI. If it makes their jobs easier so they can spend more time making other things better, then I'm all for it.
And the entire reason most manga are drawn in daylight scene is likely because mangaka hates doing night tones, especially during those days where they have to tones by hand, while chasing a deadline. Heck, the entire reason most manga characters are blond is because they hate toning the hair. It's why main characters like Naruto are blond while Luffy gets a Straw Hat. As they take the most time to draw.
The problem is that since the first Hulk movie with Eric Bana is that it's hard to tell what's going on in a lot of movies with night fights. You can barely tell what's going on when the hulk is fighting those dogs and have zero clue what's going on in the last fight against his father. It also lessens the immersion for the viewer. One Piece prides itself on great fights.............you can't just give it a "meh" scene........and think that it won't be impactful.
One piece does not pride itself in great fights. That might be its weakest aspect when compared with shows like DBZ and Naruto. Now, the framing of the fights with the themes, the character motivations and emotions involved is top tier in One Piece. The fights themselves though? They’re good but definitely not one of its strongest aspects.
I've been with One Piece since the early 2000s, literally before the crew even got to the grand line, I'm super excited for this. The only thing I'm worried about is how the cgi will look for the different powers but overall I'm really excited. Looks like this isn't going to be a huge let down like other series.
We all have to remember, one piece was a fun, goofy pirate adventure it’s first few arcs. I like how they are portraying Luffy as a super optimistic, adventure seeking rookie who has this big dream while looking to have a fun time along the way. I’m sure they will really develop him as a character as the story progresses to what we know him today in the story. It’s going to be a fun ride to the one piece and I hope they give this at least 10 seasons if it preforms well.
Never read the manga or watched the TV show but this looks like a fun watch, light hearted with some action and thrills. Hearing the creator is the final approval absolutely seals it as a watch.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I'm watching this no matter what. I am also actually excited for it. Never did i think I'd be looking forward to a live action anime series but they have all tried so hard to make right by us that i truly appreciate it. Whether this fails or not no one can say they didn't actually try to make something good.
i think pacific rim 1 and 2 are two good examples of why shooting CGI in the dark is just a lot better in most cases considering one was made around 2013 and the other 2018
Lets be real, its actually impressive they're doing something soo damn hard to adapt. And it looks like a bit of love is def there. It doesn't matter if it ends up being not amazing, I'm still excited. Shanks needs new wig, this one kinda sucks. Other than that Im not seeing much to complain about.
Even if it turns out good or bad, I still like to congratulate the cast and the people who worked on this live action. Especially, the actors/actresses because they've had alot of pressure into getting into the characters they are playing. And even behind the scenes they seem to have alot of fun with each other which will definitely reflect on this live action.
The Luffy in this Live Action is really growing on me. He's so bright and carefree and seeing that switch to rage was what I really needed to be like...yeah this if a good actor for him. Cause it gave me the same feeling as when I see it in the manga. I mean time will tell. But like One Piece is goofy and weird so it's easier to accept the goofy and weird in this. XD
I think one of the things that makes it so good so far is how on point the main cast were and how watchable it was on its own for the others who have not seen the anime. Also, like.. i still can't believe they found an actor who embodies the spirit of luffy on and off cam. He's so natural, 😄 I hope this succeeds. it would really be damn surprising if out of all anime live adaptations, this one makes it to one of the decent ones.
The biggest change I have noticed is that Arlong and Kurobi show up in Baratie for some reason. It could mean that Don Krieg is just written out completely. it could also mean we don't see Mihawk cut the Dreadnaught Saber in half.
i wouldn't worry too much about that lol. don krieg is casted and he also has a wanted poster on the website. that side profile shot of arlong also looked like he was at buggy's tent
Arlong could just show up fight a bit and then fuck off the Arlong Park with Nami joining them and they the trio goes there. There is a scene with Nami at a grave and we all have to assume that is Bellemeres grave.
If you want a clear cut comparison of what using CG in dark environments/moody lighting is like vs broad daylight, look at the difference between Pacific Rim 1 and 2
I hope that Oda is hands on! This is one of The Big Three and still one of the best selling manga of today. So to make it not only for a wider audience, it also has the opportunity to 180° the live action anime genre.
I have to admit, this new trailer increased my expectations considerably compared to the previous one. Almost all scenes look great and so does the cast. Inaki is finally growing on me, he embodies well the carefree, jovial personality of Luffy. But one of the most defining and attractive traits about Luffy is also his disposition to transform from his usual cheerful self into an unhinged ballistic beast during fights, especially when his friends are on the line. I felt like Inaki lacked that fighter's ''nerve'' which is so characteristic of Luffy, especially during the Arlong fight which is very emotional because of Nami.
Because I literally used my eyes to see his demeanor/expressions in some of the fight scenes that were shown in the trailer and are relevant to what my comment was about??? I wasn't absolute about it, hence the wording ''I felt like'', and I would be delighted to change my mind when the show is finally released, but these were my first impressions and I'm just worried that they might be indicative enough.
They've built the whole set of Louge Town, so im certain they will end it there! As for Arlong, the best he could've looked imo. Maybe some special effects/angles to make him appear taller, which is the reason i think people find him "weird looking". The actor is really buff, especially on close shots. People can't expect actors to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and pump up with steroids (a LOT of superhero actors do). Overall really excited, it captures the charm!
nice, im early af I'm excited for this but looking at past live action animes i'm also scared its going to be bad. I just don't want another cowboy bebop mishap, they tried to make that feel too much like the anime and it just didn't translate well.
8:20 HAHAHA SAME THOUGHT, I also saw Ryan Gosling for a second and even after you paused again I had to think for a few seconds... "Is that Ryan Gosling"
Based on the episode titles it seems we're going up until Reverse Mountain. Also in the manga there were no Fishman on Baratie, and we see Sanji fighting one on the Baratie + Arlong kicking Luffy out of the Baratie so it seems like they're probably cutting Don Krieg out of the live action and instead using that time to build up Arlong a bit more. Makes sense since they have a lot of ground to cover and in the grand scheme of things Arlong has a much larger impact on the series than Don Krieg. We also see Garp here so I'm curious if they're going to be taking more time to show Koby (and helmeppo if he's even in this?) training with Garp, or if he's purely just going to be briefly seen now and not properly introduced / revealed until much later like in the manga.
@@Nollis Sure but he might just be there with his fleet approaching, only for Mihawk to wipe them out as his introduction, and all the conflict with the Strawhats removed. They did cut down the amount of episodes, so I fee like Krieg was one of the parts that was ultimately cut. Won't be upset if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get from the trailer.
Literally fans who never watched will enjoy this 100% i never watched anime until 2020 and I thought the live action death-note was the coolest thing netflix ever dropped
I’ll watch it and most likely never go back and try and watch the anime or read the manga again. I’ve already tried it like 10 times at this point couldn’t get into it.
@@Sleepys._.interesting. I understand liking something when you are not exposed to the opinion of the public, probably the reason why I enjoy OP and Naruto so much, but my GOD I can not imagine the live action being someones first exposure to the franchise.
@@Chazzmatazzsince the the teaser I've seen like over 100 comments from people that never watched One Piece who are interested 😅 Netflix has over 200M subscribers. A good amount of them will be curious and see what this fun pirate adventure is about✌️
Joey notices changes like "Nami's crying scene is now in the dark, I wonder why they changed it" instead of Arlong a minute before throwing Luffy through the door with a big "Baratie" sign above it, lol.
I know some people might find Arlong weird, me too. But at least I’m okay with that so far, they try to use practical as close as possible to the character & I appreciate that. I & maybe some people hope he got Hulk or Thanos treatment for bulky looks but this is only the first season their trial & error season to look how good it would be received by the fans. I hope it turns out good and if they make another season let’s hope they make a better one because there will be a lot more big & bulky characters in future
I am praying that this is as good as the trailer makes it look. It honestly feels like it does the original material respect with some changes here and there.
it probably is , artur library of ohara watch 5 clips so around 10-15 mins and said its good . I think action will be very good I am looking forward the first 2 episodes the most coz the directors is very talented and specialises in action
I think this will be the best live action adaptation to date. Sure there are some aspects we have to forgive but I think it looks really really good overall
There’s a few things I noticed where they seem to be condensing/altering the story. Arlong shows up at the Baratie and Buggy’s tent which has me thinking that Arlong may be introduced sooner to establish him as the big bad of the entire season. Nami also appears to be present at the fight at Arlong park. The ‘Help Me’ scene is at night but the fight is during the day.
I finished watching the One Piece live-action in Japanese Dub and I thought it was good. I was really impressed by the character development they gave Coby. Your reaction to the trailer was actually what got me interested in watching it. I hope we also get to hear your review or opinion on the series after you watch it.
I heard some people say the Help Me scene being changed to night could be so that they fight Arlong's crew at the 'dawn of a new day'. Basically it might've been for symbolism purposes. I don't know how true that is though, it's just speculation
Honestly I've always thought of Shanks as this plain, mundane dude that most people would dismiss at first glance without realizing he can stand on equal terms with the likes of Whitebeard and Kaido, so I kinda like that direction with him Arlong though yeah, he definitely looks pretty goofy and underwhelming here. Of course, I will take the fact that this is my worst criticism of what I've seen so far from these trailers as a sign that the series will be at least watchable
The only thing that's striking on Shanks is his hair. He looks literally like a normal guy otherwise. Even his ship is normal compared to everyone else's. He's not even a Devil Fruit user. And that's why he's so fucking terrifying. The Marines know exactly where most of the Emperors are, EXCEPT for the Red-Haired Pirates. Man traipsed around the East Blue, stayed for days at a small island which is also a Marine Vice Admiral's hometown island and nobody noticed. Not even the Vice Admiral himself. Even him showing up at the Marineford during the Ace rescue attempt is shocking. He's practically a ghost in the seas.
I love silly goofy fun and this is 100% going to be that, so even if it’s not the best adaptation i think it’s safe to say it will at least be fun to watch (especially with booze)
This is the exact same shit that happened with the Cowboy Bebop live action lol. People say it will be shit, people see trailers and say it actually looks good, it ends up being bad. Guess it's good people are optimistic?
i think it’s gonna be up to the part where they enter the grand line cause there’s a scene in the first trailer where they put they legs together on the ship deck 😆
One thing with chopper, he ate the human-human fruit. So an actual actor could be his human form and they can full cgi the rest of his forms. Then they just keep him mostly in human form and itll be okay
I feel like Arlong as a a whole could look a little bigger but I feel like I just need that intimidation factor that he gives to pull through. I have full faith in the show and this trailer has given me a lot of reassurance and I think it looks great thus far.
I think this will be a sucess Reasons 1) unlike ither anime live action this is a tv series not movie ( so they dont have to adapt a huge part of anime within 2 hours) 2) i think they choose thw right cast 3) i think they have the right budget 4) i think they sticked more to the source material 5) this is just me its like they made it realistic and also with anime effects or vibe 6) And i believe this will have good pacing I dont think it wiol be a huge success but i think the chance of it being a suc sw is high
They are adapting the first saga, the first 100 chapters, that means they'll go after Arlong Park, they'll end after Louguetown. In the teaser they showed the barrel breaking scene, that's after Louguetown and right before entering the Grand Line
Totally agree about Arlong park. That was the scene that made me say "Yeah. I'm gonna love these guys." Can't believe they already teased with Foxy and Bellamy. Omg I would LOVE to see that. I think they'll be shooting the Arlong fight at night so they can take full advantage of the cgi. THEY ALL LOOK AMAZING!!!!!
I don't think bringing Chopper to the show is as difficult as some people think it might be. Chopper in the manga and anime is usually in his hybrid from, which is that cute little form. All they have to do is to cast a kid, put him in a suit and cover his face with some prosthetics. Same thing with his full human form, but with an adult actor. Obviously some CGI will have to be used for his rumble ball forms. and I agree, the trailer was great! I really hope that the show will be good.
I will say with Oda being so heavily involved compared to others? This has the best chance of being an at least DECENT live action anime adaptation....if it pans out and they see working WITH the creator instead of hiring people who think THEY know better...might get some good stuff...but animation is really difficult to bring to live action, the other way around is much easier.
dude i'm so hype about this show it's not even funny lmao the wait till august 31st is agonizing!! T___T i think everything looks amazing & as a mega One Piece fan of both the manga and anime for over a decade, i fully trust Eiichiro Oda and the love & care poured into this project by all the people involved. i'm just so grateful that the greatest manga ever created is coming to life so soon!!!
I'm excited to watch it! I thought this trailer was super good! I was more impress by this then the teaser we got before. I love the cast. Let's just hope the story is good.
It honestly just seems that Arlongs head and prosthetics give the body impression of a bigger head in comparison to the body, his stature makes the clothing look loose and droopy, where his trap muscles aren’t as large, and while he’s tall, he doesn’t fill out as much as you’d expect, still I think the look won’t detract from the character portrayal
I think it will atleast be endearing. I like that they are leaning into the goofyness. Because that's a core part of one piece. Lot's of fans forget how some characters were in the beginning. For example Shanks looked more like a normal dad in the beginning. Only later in the manga does he have the enormous neck, and the more alpha face. Buggy was supposed to be scary and unhinged in his first introduction. He quickly became goofy, but the joke WAS that he appeared scary from the shadows. In general, a lot of people are arguing you can't keep it one to one with the manga. I only partially agree. For example the character designs are a good compromise. I feel the real thing other adaptations mess up, is changing core character interactions/motivations. Changing the message of the story.
Having the original sub voice actors come on the voice to Japanese version of the live action was a stellar decision
No hate on original LA cast but I will tune in the japan dub
@@cal8338bro rlly said “The Juan Piece”
not only that but also the orginal german cast, which makes it 1000x better than the english version
That was always going to be the case for the Japanese version. They would never recast OP just for the live action
Looks like I'll be watching this at least twice.
Eiichiro Oda wrote in a letter about his involvement and how many of the scenes were reshot later as the actors became more cohesive. He said he knows there will be some differences but that it still works cohesively and he knows that there will be people that aren't happy about changes but that it just comes from a place of love for his work. I think thats a very realistic and positive way to think about such an adaptation for live action.
Considering nothing can be 100% adapted from one media to another it makes sense. There is a reason each media exists. You can do certain things in movies, tv shows, books, comics and manga that you can’t do in the others. Changes should always be expected when translating from one media to another. Things you couldn’t do in a book or manga but can in a tv show should be added. Things you could do in a book but not a tv show should be removed. As long as the heart of the story is the same and you do your best to make sure your not ruining what your adapting. I’m not expecting a shot by shot. I’m expecting some things to be left out or changed. I’m also expecting we might get some things not in the manga that Oda got to add it in because he either thought of it after doing the manga/anime or because it translates better in live action than in manga or anime form. I’m not expecting it to be better than the OG. But I am expecting the feelings I got watching the OG to be similar. At least that’s my hopes for this.
@@ForestSen If only more people think like this. LA wouldn't get as much hate as it does.
@@ForestSen True, I see some of this in the way they decided to make Arlong look. Arlong, like many other characters has a very oversized body compared to a normal person. Trying to get close to that without using any cgi is probably impossible. Of course they may have a slightly better chance if one of the strongest men in the world suddenly became a talented actor but otherwise it will always look abit off. My guess is that any character with weird/huge body's will probably not be the best lookalike. It's a shame but i can fully accept why they will look weird.
Yeah there will be certain restrictions with the shifting medium as well as restrictions from networks and only being a certain amount of time to put everything together.
That's good to hear, though.
Oda created one piece for people to enjoy, laugh and cry at their homes. And since these actors said that they're recreating a live action of one piece out of love and respect of Oda's work. I was skeptical they'd ruin it, but thank god they didn't disappoint. (Tho I don't like one piece in English dub😂)
But I guess if you put your heart into the work, the outcome is good (unlike disn- *cough
If Chopper does make a live action appearance, they should go the route of Detective Pikachu, just have Chopper with realistic fur and clothing textures. Might be hard to pull off but would look great
They'll probably go for a reallistic puppet. I dont think they have the budget for a cgi version.
Detective pikachu vibes would be perfect but yeah there is the budget problem
bruh at detective pikachu, all budget goes to pikachu, it cant be like that in one piece live action
Idk I think rocket racoon style could work too.
@@Haxerous that too maybe
You're definitely not the only one excited. The general opinion is that it looks pretty solid with a big question mark hanging over Arlong.
Yoooo glr how are you
I'm very impressed by the attention to detail. Like it's actually made for fans first, rather than going for a general audience.
Feels like a very accurate retelling of the OP story.
It looks goofy as fuck, but OP is goofy as fuck, so it kinda fits.
If Arlong has more personality in the actual show then I'll be fine, I just don't want him being the generic dramatic tough guy who says threatening things in a low growly voice, which is all they really gave us in the trailer
I keep seeing people who don't watch/read OP trashing it like crazy saying that we probably all hate it. We don't actually lol
I feel like manga/anime Arlong was so much more Himbo, and we need to honor that
My hope is that with the Nami scene taking place at night and them arriving at Arlong Park in the daytime, they're going to use a sunrise to make the whole sequence more epic.
I just hope it shows them marching to Arlong Park in unison, like footsteps fully in synch, military style. I think that would convey the seriousness that the walk to Arlong Park conveyed on the anime and manga.
@@VlogCandyMinusoh I can already hear the soundtrack
I smell cg tears on Nami
@@martinbabich1920 its way more practical and cost effective to use eyedrops for tears lol, they wouldn't make tears cgi
@@martinbabich1920dumbahh
Oda said that the scene between Luffy and Nami with her crying was heartbreaking and he loved it. Also there is a theory that the reason they are doing the Nami x Luffy scene at night is because they wanted to have the sun being behind them as they are walking to Arlong Park.
oda the same dude that said op red and the game are good
Representing the dawn they know what they’re doing with this one let them cook
@@musashi542 Oda same dude who made One Piece yeah
@@tonnmiister oda the mangaka not the director or the game designer , he better stay in his own lane
Where is your source pls 😭
I think the main problem with Arlong is that he’s not that buff. Compared to the series where he’s a hulking behemoth over Luffy, he just looks like a normal guy with a cool face. Heck, his henchmen look more built than him.
The guy is actually pretty damn buff. It's just that he doesn't tower over everyone unlike the manga. Can't expect actors to pump themselves with steroids all the time (looking at u, rock). Maybe some special effects/angles could've made him appear taller, perhaps? I think thats the biggest reason people find him weird looking
Arlong is fine if they were going for a more practical effects version of him & that's OK. I rather have him look real than a cgi monstrosity that looks fake.
He's actually pretty jacked but since the facial prosthetics bulked up his face by a lot, it made his body look small.
You've already said it "compared to the series" villains in OP are often represented as huge beasts even being humans in order to picture the threat they are, BUT, that's an anime/manga resource, doesn't need to be the case here, the actor is already 2m height 💀
im wondering how they will do the scene where he holds zoro up and tears his shirt, i guess they might not bother, but tbh that scene in the manga was so poignant to me, so i hope they do, but with that arlong and zoro being a decently buff actor as well, might look weird haha
I think my biggest gripe with the visual of Arlong is that he doesn't seem bulky enough. Arlong was a hulking beast of a character. I get that they're going for that realism vibe, but FISH PEOPLE. Maybe Thanos him up a bit to a grander size to make him more threatening.
i felt like they should have done the whole marvel CGI thing where the cover them in suits and go complete CGI other gripe is i think the outfits seems fresh out of the box not normal enough espically the OG outfits
Yeah, problem is that they are all huge. Even Hachi is huge compared to the main cast. They'd have to get Brock Lesnar to do it any justice lol
@@hamadalkaabi2160they definitely could have done that but there's still the problem of maintaining that level of CGI till Arlong is defeated
@@hamadalkaabi2160 that will cost alot 😅
@@hamadalkaabi2160 cgi is expensive and i would assume disney had far more budget for thanos in avengers than neetflix for arlong
Regarding Arlong not looking buff and many fans' complaints about the live-action version looking too weak, this direction is a better story wise , especially regarding future arcs like Sabaody Archipelago and fishermen island. Arlong is a fallen fishermen pirate who's been mooching off Coco village for the past 10 years while enjoying his retired life and terrorizing the weak. Him not being buff and instead washed-up and skinny fits the narrative of someone who hasn't faced a serious opponent since his days with the sun pirates. TDLR: Retired-looking but intimidating dad Arlong aint to bad
When you put it like that it makes sense. Arlong just been chilling for 10 years, he's much more slim down.
glad you see what I see
but the tension of that fight was how skilled and strong he still is despite this retirement. At least it added something for me
@@Greennoob2 Ye, I agree, but I think it was more how strong the fishmen were compared to the human species/ fruit users like Luffy. More about his species being naturally stronger than being physically strong like Jimbei, who actually trains and fights regularly
because someone is apparently unable to train once they start living on an island?
The CGI isn’t bad, they took a more stylistic approach then trying to make it ultra-realistic.
This trailer was much better than the first one. It made my skeptical hope go to not as skeptical faith. They got the vibe of One Piece perfectly. Luffy’s stretching actually looks really good too. Buggy’s chop-chop powers also look great. Arlong, aside from the nose, is the best they could do in live action (he was always going to look a little weird in live action). Overall, looks great
That's actually what sawfishes look like, I'd say it's pretty accurate!
@@ambiguoussarcasm
I'll have to double check, what that's pretty cool if they delivered on that core concept of Arlong.
Arlong needs a little more attitude and energy. It doesn't help that his voice is unnecessarily deep.
Agreed, the only thing I feel like would've made this perfect is having the visual crew of Pirates & the Caribbean be in charge of all the visuals, makeup, and outfits for the series, and it would Chef's kiss.
@@redragon88 I actually liked his voice more than his appearance, gives a lot of fish vibes
It's fascinating how the general consensus on this adaptation seems to have shifted from "Yeah, this is gonna suck, no doubt" to "Well, maybe it won't be *that* bad..." to "Oh shit, this might actually be good!"
yeah with the teaser it was "I expected it to be shitt but its not that bad" and with the trailer" wow I expected it to be shitt but damn its good"
as soon as I saw them building actual ships for the show, I thought "maybe this is not gonna be dog shit".
No the general consensus is still that it looks bad.
where did you get the data lol? it is only the coping fans that overhype the trailer, there are many disappointing scenes in the recent trailer like sound/music, arlong and shanks, and dark CGI scene. The cowboy bebop la nailed the character costume but still failed hard so......
Nah, it still kooks awful
This trailer made me a lot more excited for the show, it might be a little goofy and wrong in some places but I think it’ll be a lot of fun
facts
Bro, we're talking about One Piece, they fucked it up if it isn't goofy as hell(especially since it is east blue, a lot of people forget how goofy One Piece was early on and honestly still is)
@@YuriLunarisits called absurdist. Which is a stylist choice. The show looks goofy. There's a difference.

I haven't watched or read One Piece before, but I'd love this series to succeed. We'd need a good "see? this is how you do it" series for anime adaptation for future projects to look at, because I doubt they will stop adapting anime into live action.
same here bro
Sooo did you enjoy it?
@@lightningjadejavier Oh yeah, I'm on my third run now. It has the feeling of an anime but toned down just enough to not be weird in live action, while also not being too realistic and losing the charm.

If filiming the CGI in dark environments helps keep the budget manageable and makes the scenes look and work better overall, then by all means let them do it ❤
The number of reactors I’ve seen that say “Yes You Will Luffy” when he says I’m gonna be king of the pirates seriously warms my heart.
I feel like the trailer did really change a lot of expectations for a lot of people. A few months, everyone was sure it's gonna be shit, after the teaser people were on edge and now the mood is mostly positive. Lets hope it doesn't dissappoint.
watched the trailer and none of the character seems to share the same personality as the manga character for one they made luffy self aware. not sure why people think this looks good myself
@@vincenthammons-kd9du anime and manga are too exaggerated, where in a real life setting its either edgy or cringe and one of the most said criticism about the teaser and trailer is how goofy the anime and manga is in live action because a fantasy anime like one piece is not meant for live action but the fact that something that is nearly impossible to adapt to live action has CGI that looks somwhat bearable and edible is very promising. Take jojo or any other anime with a sense of weirdness to it and take one of its most goofy character and do a line/pose/cosplay in the open in public while saying his catchphrases or lines from the show, sounds cringe right? If that doesnt convince you then imagine a 14 year old on a zenitsu cosplay walking up to you then leaning forward then saying "Thunder breathing: first form" in public, now thats gotta be cringe. Thats because anime like i said is exaggerated in terms of design and personality. The only out of character thing ive felt so far from the anime and trailer is luffy's change in humour and zoro's colder personality which he only got after timeskip since at the early days of strawhat crew he was either laughing, fighting, drinking sake, or sleeping, other than that nami's assertiveness can be seen, zoro's loyalty, we didnt get to see much of ussop, and sanji and zoro's dynamic of one-upping each other is still very much there. For a live action adaptation that only looks kinda goofy for an anime/manga that was REALLLY goofy is a plus imo.
@@konvex69 character interactions are a big part of one piece take that out its no longer one piece
It's shit because One piece is shit
@@vincenthammons-kd9du that kind of interaction only works on anime and it is already proven by watching j-drama
I think the producers already deserve some respect for doing something impossible.
Scenes from a live action One Piece that doesn't look like a complete pile of dog shit.
That trailer definitely got me excited to watch the series.
what a time boys
I was so surprised seeing this trailer. My friend told me about it and I told her 'I'm not gonna bother watching that crap' because I was convinced it's was going to be the so maniest live action disappointment but it actually looks...kinda good??? I'm impressed with what I've seen so far!
I think the best they can do for Chopper should a mix between Pikachu from Detective Pikachu and Sonic from the Sonic movie.
Give him fur that actually makes it look like a living creature, while the face is the same one from the manga and anime, with probably just a few tweaks to the eyes and mouth to make it fit with the fur.
And i think that would be a pretty solid Chopper.
I personally think the series will be kinda successful.
So i do expect Alabasta and Skypea to be Season 2 and Season 3. From there on, it all depends.
Alabasta is kinda guaranteed, i think. It would be the perfect Season 2.
A lot happens between arlong and alabasta, skipping straight to alabasta would be odd
As someone who only recently started One Piece, I can fully agree that moment when Luffy put his straw hat on Nami is still one of the most impactful scenes I have seen thus far. 😁
no doubt it will be really good, but whatever anyone think, it can't beat the original one in the anime
when you will catch up to one piece, you'll still say it's one of the most impactful scenes in one piece, that's the beauty of it my friend😌

@@shinobuu__ shenlong comes after goku searching the dragon balls, sees kaido, both dragons become friends, kaido says wororororo, shenlong hisses in reply, they go to their honeymoon, luffy and Goku left alone, they go to an eating contest, eat the whole universe. the end
That was the moment that really made me love this manga I was about to drop it but but thankfully I kept going and its only gotten better and now 20 years later and this story still brings me to tears
Most One Piece villains are designed really tall to convey and carry that sense of danger and authority. It's a great to visually convey how imposing and dictating they are as characters. In the live action they probably can't just upscale humans (either the CG cost or too goofy) so these traits need to just be conveyed through acting. Makes the actor's jobs harder.
I really agree,for me as an artist arlong's actor act pretty good
tbf, I think the actors they chose are really good
While understandable for a good number of human characters who are randomly 8-12 foot tall, i feel there is plenty of characters that if scaled down will ruin them both in terms of power but thematically as well. If Dorry and Broggy are only like 7-8 foot tall I’ll be fucking pissed.
This is true, and it makes sense for human characters like Garp and Roger to be normal sized in the adaption, but I feel they could've scaled Arlong up just a bit. A little camera trickery could've done the job. I think there's some villains that really need to be big, and others who can be scaled down fine - though there's obviously nor an exact criteria for that
Wym too goofy? Goofiness is what makes this show special
What makes me the most hype is that it really feels like a passion project. The details they put in there, that are not necessary but still present, are stuff that you would only do if you really like the source material.
Can't wait ^^
hell the ships are even real, that means a lot because big companies will CG that probably
A new letter from Oda came out when this trailer came out notifying that the show went through numerous reshoots to get Luffy right or the feeling of the scene to be as close to the manga as possible and he went on some trips to the set to supervise filming
He also said that some Luffy lines he thought wouldn’t work, he became ok with once he heard it from Iñaki.
Man ..? Oda went above and beyong for one piec3....Hopefully, he will be alive or at least give a written statement in case if he passed away before finishing the one piece manga that the ending was his idea.
@@GoleonTension line is definitely something Luffy manga would nevet say 😂 but in Luffy la it fits

I think Arlong looks great for being a live action version of an anime character. Obviously it's gonna look a bit off for us, but they stayed as true as they could to the anime and I love it.
Man... have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean ?? if you have you know it in ur heart that they could do better... i'm just sad that they aren't even trying these days....
@@sanketlalwani4284 " have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean" that was a whole expesnive film studio, Netflix doesn't have that. "i'm just sad that they aren't even trying these days...." bro your just straight up trying to come up with excuses to whine about XD
@@sanketlalwani4284 POTC 2 has a budget of like 200 mill and is a movie that is about 2 hours long, whereas the live action has a budget of about 150mill and a total runtime of around 7 hours. There is also the fact that most of the CGI characters like davy are generally seen in dark areas, although that can be argued against as the live action too attempts to keep the fishmen in the dark a majority of the time. The live action is also in it's first season which gave it less reason to be higher budget since live actions have not exactly been cherished in the past. It seems pointless to compare the two when they have a bigger gap between them than me and a functional member of society.
One thing I really loved about this trailer was how it was shot/directed, which, to me, shows great promise to how every scene will be shot. Roger's intro was 🔥and probably the perfect way to start off the trailer.
If you didn't see it, Oda putout a letter saying how excited he is and saying he stands behind the adaptation. As long as they don't miss on the Nami scene I think it'll be great.
Oda got a screener of that scene and his reaction? "It's perfect" so I am very excited (though also terrified because: my poor heart!!)
Having Oda supervise the whole thing and give them his blessing was the best decision Netflix could have done. More adaptations should have the original creator (if they're alive) supervise any live action that comes from a non-real life media.
It is absolutely not their choice. It was a demand by Oda himself. I guarantee to you they are not happy about it, as most producers and directors despise the involvement of the author. In this case, the director is a Fan, so he likes it, but I doubt Netflix was that into it. Oda and Shueisha were the ones to demand it, and they achieved it by negotiation.
@rhuanv you think netflix wanted one piece to go woke
@@goodadvertisementsxyz4796knowing their track record? Probably. Just look how they absolutely destroyed Cowboy Bebop and Death Note
Too me this is a double edged blade. Obviously it’s good because without him any corners they cut are decided by someone we don’t know otherwise they are forced to adapt it 1 for 1 (lol not happening). But that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily better that oda can make the call and say change it like this and he’ll be happy… coz that’s just more for the fans to blame him lol. When it comes down to it he probably has 0 influence of actual visual effects and only can influence the pacing/story…
He already said some scenes had to be reshot with his input so it should be fire!
I think the main reason why this trailer has the community mostly feeling positive about it is because it has the essence of One Piece. From this most recent trailer it FEELS like One Piece and that's all you need to have when adapting it to live action. If Oda wasn't overseeing this project as closely as he has it probably would've been a miss.
I wholeheartedly agree, but I think we really need to also give credit to so many people who worked on this who love and adore One Piece. It's not just Oda's involvement, it's also because the whole production came from a place of love and not just some soulless moneygrab trying to get as much out of this as possible with as little effort as possible.
Yeah of course the execs behind the scenes have that as their main motivation regardless, but the staff went above and beyond to make this feel right, and that's worth crediting :)
my thoughts on the Nami scene being at night is that they want the walk to Arlong to be as the sun rises. dont know if im thinking too much about it, but i think that would be an awesome setting for those sets of epic scenes.
I'm trying so hard to be sceptical about this live action, but... I just can't. I just get SO EXCITED with every piece of news I get about it, especially after this trailer.
Tbh I think this trailer did exactly what it needed to do and addressed the areas where people were a bit weary in the teaser trailer making people open up and feel more excited to watch it
For me it did the opposite. It showed me all my fears and weariness were completely merited.
@@nicholas7156in what way?
As someone who has never watched One Piece or much of any anime (I know I'm an outlier here), this is looking great as a both a live action standalone series and a visually faithful recreation of all the art I've seen of it over the years. Especially with the creator having such a close hand in the development à la JK Rowling with Harry Potter, it's looking like it will satisfy both fans of the anime and new, fresh viewers alike! I'm looking forward to watching it!
thats great to hear, if you like the show you should check out the manga/comic its really good
In Brazil, there was a TV series inspired by a book series called “Sitio do Picapáu Amarelo”. It was a children’s show set in a fantastical world. The effects were not very impressive, but they did not detract from the story. This is similar to what I think about this show. As long as the special effects are not so bad that they overshadow the plot, it will probably be a success.

I think what felt odd in Arlon's appearence is his build. Not that the original Arlon is strong or huge, but when brought to this perspective (live action) if Arlon's build was of a huge mfer, it would help him fulfill his role of a menace. Just like his underling (that Sanji kicks) earlier on the trailer.
I agree. His head looked too big for him body because of all the prosthetics. If they got a bigger dude it probably wouldnt have looked so weird.
Arlong is 8’7. By human standards in the East blue he is a very big lad.
@@Babylauncher3000 Yeah, but how the fuck are they gonna find an actor anywhere near 8'7?
@@cormacoregan471 Stilts? CGI? Forced perspective? There are numerous solutions to this issue.
@@Babylauncher3000 Maybe. Hopefully they'll figure out a way to let Arlong keep his menacing nature.
So glad to see you checking the trailer out here.
Really excited for this season. I’m sure it will be awesome. One Piece is such a hard thing to adapt but I think they’ve put their heart and soul into making this a good adaption.
I think it's mostly the build that makes Arlong look goofy, because in the manga and anime he's Oda hulking thicc while in this live action he has regular human proportions
To me that was a good call. There's certain aspects from animation that don't translate well to live action. If they kept Arlong's size it would have looked ridiculous imo.
I think also that all the prostetics makes hes face look bigger and that makes hes body unintentionally look smaller. I think body to face ratio is what makes it look goofy and small.
@@mamobeeno, bigger size doesnt make him ridiculous, it will make him looks more like he should, like a monster, he is a Fishman 😂
I don't get the gripe people have over the day and night for the CGI. If it makes their jobs easier so they can spend more time making other things better, then I'm all for it.
i mean... how do you do some of the scenes without CGI honestly....
And the entire reason most manga are drawn in daylight scene is likely because mangaka hates doing night tones, especially during those days where they have to tones by hand, while chasing a deadline.
Heck, the entire reason most manga characters are blond is because they hate toning the hair.
It's why main characters like Naruto are blond while Luffy gets a Straw Hat. As they take the most time to draw.
a top tier artist will always tell you, if you can hide the mistakes of your drawing, do it.
The problem is that since the first Hulk movie with Eric Bana is that it's hard to tell what's going on in a lot of movies with night fights. You can barely tell what's going on when the hulk is fighting those dogs and have zero clue what's going on in the last fight against his father. It also lessens the immersion for the viewer. One Piece prides itself on great fights.............you can't just give it a "meh" scene........and think that it won't be impactful.
One piece does not pride itself in great fights. That might be its weakest aspect when compared with shows like DBZ and Naruto. Now, the framing of the fights with the themes, the character motivations and emotions involved is top tier in One Piece. The fights themselves though? They’re good but definitely not one of its strongest aspects.
Is it weird i prefer this channel over the main for some reason

No reason. Just old channel is dead you can say that tio
I confess I have only subscribed to this channel
Hard to enjoy a dead channel
Very excited for this and the cast seem so perfect together! Just started One Piece I'm only episode 70 but this has me more hyped for the live action
I've been with One Piece since the early 2000s, literally before the crew even got to the grand line, I'm super excited for this. The only thing I'm worried about is how the cgi will look for the different powers but overall I'm really excited. Looks like this isn't going to be a huge let down like other series.
i mean its hard to replicate the anime moves into reality
We all have to remember, one piece was a fun, goofy pirate adventure it’s first few arcs. I like how they are portraying Luffy as a super optimistic, adventure seeking rookie who has this big dream while looking to have a fun time along the way. I’m sure they will really develop him as a character as the story progresses to what we know him today in the story. It’s going to be a fun ride to the one piece and I hope they give this at least 10 seasons if it preforms well.
Never read the manga or watched the TV show but this looks like a fun watch, light hearted with some action and thrills. Hearing the creator is the final approval absolutely seals it as a watch.
I don't believe you
@@MikasaeaAaah_Aahkercmoan😂😂😂😂😂
Just read the manga lol
I love how I know nothing about One Piece, but I just love watching people's reactions to all this, cause lmao anime live reactions.
If I pretend this isn’t a Netflix product, I feel pretty optimistic. It definitely seems better from the trailer over other adapted shows.
It goes to the end of East Blue, so it'll end with the barrel scene, where they announce the dreams they all chase. I'm super excited for this
Makes me happy to see you so positive about the live action Joey!
Can’t wait to watch the first episode
My expectations were so low, but i gotta admit, im kinda diggin it. It just went from being ignored to I'll give it a shot.
I said it before and I'll say it again. I'm watching this no matter what. I am also actually excited for it. Never did i think I'd be looking forward to a live action anime series but they have all tried so hard to make right by us that i truly appreciate it. Whether this fails or not no one can say they didn't actually try to make something good.
i think pacific rim 1 and 2 are two good examples of why shooting CGI in the dark is just a lot better in most cases considering one was made around 2013 and the other 2018
Lets be real, its actually impressive they're doing something soo damn hard to adapt. And it looks like a bit of love is def there. It doesn't matter if it ends up being not amazing, I'm still excited. Shanks needs new wig, this one kinda sucks. Other than that Im not seeing much to complain about.
Even if it turns out good or bad, I still like to congratulate the cast and the people who worked on this live action. Especially, the actors/actresses because they've had alot of pressure into getting into the characters they are playing. And even behind the scenes they seem to have alot of fun with each other which will definitely reflect on this live action.
Now we can expect Garnt’s video either tonight or tomorrow
I'm gonna be honest, this is actually looking pretty good so far so I'm looking forward to this movie
its an 8 episode series
@@Ghost.Nappa56 Oh, it's a live action series? I was always under the impression it was going to be a movie
@@andrewpappas9311I thought it was a movie too 😭
How could you still not know that it's a series.
@@blondymonk1535 Obviously I know One Piece is a series, I'm just saying that I thought it was becoming a movie
Been waiting for one of you boys to make a reaction about the live action
The Luffy in this Live Action is really growing on me. He's so bright and carefree and seeing that switch to rage was what I really needed to be like...yeah this if a good actor for him. Cause it gave me the same feeling as when I see it in the manga. I mean time will tell. But like One Piece is goofy and weird so it's easier to accept the goofy and weird in this. XD
I think the cast and pruction crew have absolutely nailed it so far, hope the show is amazing and builds a whole new base of one piece fans.
7:30 I have never watched one piece but just hearing you talk about how this scene was so impactful gave me goosebumps.
Was waiting for the review of this 💯
The whole dark environments making CGI better is why the Jurassic Parks dinosaur still looks good to this day.
I think one of the things that makes it so good so far is how on point the main cast were and how watchable it was on its own for the others who have not seen the anime. Also, like.. i still can't believe they found an actor who embodies the spirit of luffy on and off cam. He's so natural, 😄 I hope this succeeds. it would really be damn surprising if out of all anime live adaptations, this one makes it to one of the decent ones.
The biggest change I have noticed is that Arlong and Kurobi show up in Baratie for some reason. It could mean that Don Krieg is just written out completely. it could also mean we don't see Mihawk cut the Dreadnaught Saber in half.
i wouldn't worry too much about that lol. don krieg is casted and he also has a wanted poster on the website. that side profile shot of arlong also looked like he was at buggy's tent
Interested to see how they implement the Arlong pirates at Baratie instead of Don Krieg
Arlong could just show up fight a bit and then fuck off the Arlong Park with Nami joining them and they the trio goes there. There is a scene with Nami at a grave and we all have to assume that is Bellemeres grave.
Don Krieg was cast as far as I know, so I guess they're both there? We'll see
@@SenneWMichiels He probably takes nami and leaves before don krieg arrives
I want Gin to come back at some point...this doesn't help the chance.
@@killzone866 You don't have to assume, Bellemere is written on it.
If you want a clear cut comparison of what using CG in dark environments/moody lighting is like vs broad daylight, look at the difference between Pacific Rim 1 and 2
I hope that Oda is hands on! This is one of The Big Three and still one of the best selling manga of today. So to make it not only for a wider audience, it also has the opportunity to 180° the live action anime genre.
I have to admit, this new trailer increased my expectations considerably compared to the previous one. Almost all scenes look great and so does the cast. Inaki is finally growing on me, he embodies well the carefree, jovial personality of Luffy. But one of the most defining and attractive traits about Luffy is also his disposition to transform from his usual cheerful self into an unhinged ballistic beast during fights, especially when his friends are on the line. I felt like Inaki lacked that fighter's ''nerve'' which is so characteristic of Luffy, especially during the Arlong fight which is very emotional because of Nami.
Dude it hasn't even came out yet how can you say he's lacking that 💀
Because I literally used my eyes to see his demeanor/expressions in some of the fight scenes that were shown in the trailer and are relevant to what my comment was about???
I wasn't absolute about it, hence the wording ''I felt like'', and I would be delighted to change my mind when the show is finally released, but these were my first impressions and I'm just worried that they might be indicative enough.
Copium
They've built the whole set of Louge Town, so im certain they will end it there! As for Arlong, the best he could've looked imo. Maybe some special effects/angles to make him appear taller, which is the reason i think people find him "weird looking". The actor is really buff, especially on close shots. People can't expect actors to look like Arnold Schwarzenegger and pump up with steroids (a LOT of superhero actors do). Overall really excited, it captures the charm!
nice, im early af
I'm excited for this but looking at past live action animes i'm also scared its going to be bad.
I just don't want another cowboy bebop mishap, they tried to make that feel too much like the anime and it just didn't translate well.
Lol, same
12:42 "i will see you in the next one.. PIECE" good one
8:20 HAHAHA SAME THOUGHT, I also saw Ryan Gosling for a second and even after you paused again I had to think for a few seconds... "Is that Ryan Gosling"
Based on the episode titles it seems we're going up until Reverse Mountain. Also in the manga there were no Fishman on Baratie, and we see Sanji fighting one on the Baratie + Arlong kicking Luffy out of the Baratie so it seems like they're probably cutting Don Krieg out of the live action and instead using that time to build up Arlong a bit more. Makes sense since they have a lot of ground to cover and in the grand scheme of things Arlong has a much larger impact on the series than Don Krieg.
We also see Garp here so I'm curious if they're going to be taking more time to show Koby (and helmeppo if he's even in this?) training with Garp, or if he's purely just going to be briefly seen now and not properly introduced / revealed until much later like in the manga.
As far as I know, Don Krieg has been cast so he should show up.
It'll be interesting to see when.
@@Nollis Sure but he might just be there with his fleet approaching, only for Mihawk to wipe them out as his introduction, and all the conflict with the Strawhats removed.
They did cut down the amount of episodes, so I fee like Krieg was one of the parts that was ultimately cut. Won't be upset if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get from the trailer.
Even if it isn't good, it's gonna be a gateway for many new fans so i am hyped for that and the show itself
Literally fans who never watched will enjoy this 100% i never watched anime until 2020 and I thought the live action death-note was the coolest thing netflix ever dropped
I’ll watch it and most likely never go back and try and watch the anime or read the manga again. I’ve already tried it like 10 times at this point couldn’t get into it.
@@Sleepys._.interesting. I understand liking something when you are not exposed to the opinion of the public, probably the reason why I enjoy OP and Naruto so much, but my GOD I can not imagine the live action being someones first exposure to the franchise.
I disagree. No one who isn't already a OP fan has any reason to watch this. It's just too dorky.
@@Chazzmatazzsince the the teaser I've seen like over 100 comments from people that never watched One Piece who are interested 😅 Netflix has over 200M subscribers. A good amount of them will be curious and see what this fun pirate adventure is about✌️
I cried like a baby at Nami's scene. I'm looking forward to this! I'm glad they stay close to the Original!
Joey notices changes like "Nami's crying scene is now in the dark, I wonder why they changed it" instead of Arlong a minute before throwing Luffy through the door with a big "Baratie" sign above it, lol.
I know some people might find Arlong weird, me too. But at least I’m okay with that so far, they try to use practical as close as possible to the character & I appreciate that. I & maybe some people hope he got Hulk or Thanos treatment for bulky looks but this is only the first season their trial & error season to look how good it would be received by the fans. I hope it turns out good and if they make another season let’s hope they make a better one because there will be a lot more big & bulky characters in future
I am praying that this is as good as the trailer makes it look. It honestly feels like it does the original material respect with some changes here and there.
it probably is , artur library of ohara watch 5 clips so around 10-15 mins and said its good . I think action will be very good I am looking forward the first 2 episodes the most coz the directors is very talented and specialises in action
@@gamingparadise3390he wasn’t gonna say anything negative about it
I think this will be the best live action adaptation to date. Sure there are some aspects we have to forgive but I think it looks really really good overall
There’s a few things I noticed where they seem to be condensing/altering the story. Arlong shows up at the Baratie and Buggy’s tent which has me thinking that Arlong may be introduced sooner to establish him as the big bad of the entire season. Nami also appears to be present at the fight at Arlong park. The ‘Help Me’ scene is at night but the fight is during the day.
I finished watching the One Piece live-action in Japanese Dub and I thought it was good. I was really impressed by the character development they gave Coby. Your reaction to the trailer was actually what got me interested in watching it. I hope we also get to hear your review or opinion on the series after you watch it.
I heard some people say the Help Me scene being changed to night could be so that they fight Arlong's crew at the 'dawn of a new day'. Basically it might've been for symbolism purposes. I don't know how true that is though, it's just speculation
I was hoping that Arlong would be much taller and shanks looks perhaps a little bit too plain but I hope it will grow on me
Honestly I've always thought of Shanks as this plain, mundane dude that most people would dismiss at first glance without realizing he can stand on equal terms with the likes of Whitebeard and Kaido, so I kinda like that direction with him
Arlong though yeah, he definitely looks pretty goofy and underwhelming here. Of course, I will take the fact that this is my worst criticism of what I've seen so far from these trailers as a sign that the series will be at least watchable
The only thing that's striking on Shanks is his hair. He looks literally like a normal guy otherwise. Even his ship is normal compared to everyone else's. He's not even a Devil Fruit user.
And that's why he's so fucking terrifying.
The Marines know exactly where most of the Emperors are, EXCEPT for the Red-Haired Pirates. Man traipsed around the East Blue, stayed for days at a small island which is also a Marine Vice Admiral's hometown island and nobody noticed. Not even the Vice Admiral himself. Even him showing up at the Marineford during the Ace rescue attempt is shocking. He's practically a ghost in the seas.
I love silly goofy fun and this is 100% going to be that, so even if it’s not the best adaptation i think it’s safe to say it will at least be fun to watch (especially with booze)
This is the exact same shit that happened with the Cowboy Bebop live action lol. People say it will be shit, people see trailers and say it actually looks good, it ends up being bad. Guess it's good people are optimistic?
i think it’s gonna be up to the part where they enter the grand line cause there’s a scene in the first trailer where they put they legs together on the ship deck 😆
One thing with chopper, he ate the human-human fruit. So an actual actor could be his human form and they can full cgi the rest of his forms. Then they just keep him mostly in human form and itll be okay
I feel like Arlong as a a whole could look a little bigger but I feel like I just need that intimidation factor that he gives to pull through. I have full faith in the show and this trailer has given me a lot of reassurance and I think it looks great thus far.
I think this will be a sucess
Reasons
1) unlike ither anime live action this is a tv series not movie ( so they dont have to adapt a huge part of anime within 2 hours)
2) i think they choose thw right cast
3) i think they have the right budget
4) i think they sticked more to the source material
5) this is just me its like they made it realistic and also with anime effects or vibe
6) And i believe this will have good pacing
I dont think it wiol be a huge success but i think the chance of it being a suc sw is high
I thought Alvida was played by aki for a moment
They are adapting the first saga, the first 100 chapters, that means they'll go after Arlong Park, they'll end after Louguetown.
In the teaser they showed the barrel breaking scene, that's after Louguetown and right before entering the Grand Line
Totally agree about Arlong park. That was the scene that made me say "Yeah. I'm gonna love these guys." Can't believe they already teased with Foxy and Bellamy. Omg I would LOVE to see that. I think they'll be shooting the Arlong fight at night so they can take full advantage of the cgi. THEY ALL LOOK AMAZING!!!!!
I don't think bringing Chopper to the show is as difficult as some people think it might be.
Chopper in the manga and anime is usually in his hybrid from, which is that cute little form.
All they have to do is to cast a kid, put him in a suit and cover his face with some prosthetics.
Same thing with his full human form, but with an adult actor.
Obviously some CGI will have to be used for his rumble ball forms.
and I agree, the trailer was great!
I really hope that the show will be good.
Or someone with dwarfism.
I will say with Oda being so heavily involved compared to others? This has the best chance of being an at least DECENT live action anime adaptation....if it pans out and they see working WITH the creator instead of hiring people who think THEY know better...might get some good stuff...but animation is really difficult to bring to live action, the other way around is much easier.
You owe us an update, did you watch the show yet?
I wanted to rewatch the beginning and this us a faster paced new way of remembering all of that. I am gonna be enjoying this!
I am sooo glad I´m not the only one that rsponds with 'yes you are Luffy' when he announces the pirate king thing
dude i'm so hype about this show it's not even funny lmao the wait till august 31st is agonizing!! T___T i think everything looks amazing & as a mega One Piece fan of both the manga and anime for over a decade, i fully trust Eiichiro Oda and the love & care poured into this project by all the people involved. i'm just so grateful that the greatest manga ever created is coming to life so soon!!!
I think the Arlon character should have been played by a body builder/wrestler.
I'm excited to watch it! I thought this trailer was super good! I was more impress by this then the teaser we got before. I love the cast. Let's just hope the story is good.
Im so excited! I even remade the trailer using the original anime footage!! i cant wait for august!!
It honestly just seems that Arlongs head and prosthetics give the body impression of a bigger head in comparison to the body, his stature makes the clothing look loose and droopy, where his trap muscles aren’t as large, and while he’s tall, he doesn’t fill out as much as you’d expect, still I think the look won’t detract from the character portrayal
I think it will atleast be endearing. I like that they are leaning into the goofyness. Because that's a core part of one piece.
Lot's of fans forget how some characters were in the beginning. For example Shanks looked more like a normal dad in the beginning. Only later in the manga does he have the enormous neck, and the more alpha face. Buggy was supposed to be scary and unhinged in his first introduction. He quickly became goofy, but the joke WAS that he appeared scary from the shadows.
In general, a lot of people are arguing you can't keep it one to one with the manga. I only partially agree. For example the character designs are a good compromise.
I feel the real thing other adaptations mess up, is changing core character interactions/motivations. Changing the message of the story.
