GUNDAM wing needs adaptation and HELL teacher Nube .......... yeah!!!.. finally Im dying to see you guys react on this awesome live action!!...tank you for finally doing it....
This is one of the best live action adaptations of anything I've ever seen. The characters are great, the sets are phenomenal, and this first episode is perfect. I'll admit when they broke the curse, I cried a little.
One reason many think this turned out so well is the creator actually kept final say in the creative control. It also is crazy how the mix so much up in the visuals did you notice the marines wore sneakers and baseball caps.
They really managed to nail the contrasting tone of the anime, a perfect blend of absurd and serious. Along with the excellent cinematography and choreography, the casting of this show is so good. You can really tell everybody involved with this project loved working on it and had a deep respect for the source material.
It works if you do it sincerely, you can get the audience to buy in and suspend disbelief if you take yourself seriously. They could have been so cynical about it, either tried too hard to make things more realistic or just kept making fun of the material every few seconds with stupid jokes (the Disney Marvel way). But instead they just played it straight, with all its bright colors and positivity. So it works.
When you finish the series , check out the behind the scenes videos , how the cast trained in their charactor's fighting style , the 4 actual ships they built , the sets , how the Japanese anime voice actors do the vocal dub for the live action release in Japan , and the Luffy actor meeting Oda . Awesome stuff , I can't wait for season 2
Luffy's optimism is best described as psychotic. He's got an edge to him. He seems like he could be capable of anything. Maybe even finding the one piece and becoming king of the pirates, the impossible task no one has managed to do in all these years since Gold Rogers. He goes through life with quite a lot of naivete, but he can also see into your soul. Nobody can be that enthusiastic and also not completely insane. That's exactly the sort of personality that becomes a cult leader. People can't help but get wrapped up in the intensity of it. He cracked Zoro's tough exterior in a few seconds. He got Nami to show some real honestly about her feelings for just a moment. They may not think they're a crew yet, but you can already tell they will be. Luffy even got Koby to finally stand up for himself. Luffy brings out extremes in other people around him, but he also seems to make them better.
As a diehard fan of One Piece, I appreciate all the praise this show gets. And I love the fact you are now watching it too. Can't wait for the season 2 and all the characters and plot it's gonna bring.
The fight choreography is actually really good because they did it so sincerely. It feels anime because they didn't shy away from it, and they worked so hard to make it work in an anime style. There's a fight in a later episode that is so good I can't wait to see you guys react to it. What I like best is that they shoot it in such a way that you can actually tell what's happening, where everyone is. It's not this rapid cuts of like twenty shaky-cam shots in one second style that everyone else is doing lately. Outside of John Wick, I suppose. Then they add in a bunch of wirework and other stylistic stuff, and it's done in a way that feels so authentic.
You should check out the anime. Ss1 LA cover ep 1-45. There’re a lot of details & characters they cut out to fit the LA length & they’re all good characters. You don’t want to miss that out
Helmeppo was right as there’s no way Captain Morgan would have let Zoro go after 7 days, assuming he could live that long. He was actually toned down in the live action as Axe-hand Morgan was portrayed as a much more horrible person in the anime & manga. In the source material the plan was to starve Zoro for a month yet after he managed to survive 9 days they decided to just straight up publicly execute him. I hope you at some point react to Season 1 of the anime to compare the two.
was it not 9 days left in the month? anyway. Morgan Shot A Marine for Hesitating about killing the little girl. then some Marines who didn't jump right away he ordered them to shoot themselves in the head. he's so horrible
I appreciate that technically Zoro was sentenced to a month in the yard without telling us it was a month "the penalty for assaulting A marine is seven days in the yard" according to Axehand, and Zoro assaulted four Marines...
SO stoked you guys are watching this!! You can just feel the passion and dedication every single crew member felt both on and off set. The cast are all One Piece fans themselves, and they trained so so hard to truly embody their characters. I know you guys will appreciate it!!
OMG guys so happy you guys are doing this. My favourite story ever told, I've been a fan for over twenty years now. And in my honest opinion it's a solid adoptation, 8/10 at least! The creator of the manga Eiichiro Oda was involved with the production, the casting etc so you can have hope this is a good one. I just know you guys will fall in love with the world, the characters and overall heart of the series.
Mackenyu, the actor who plays Zoro is actually Sonny Chiba's son, which is really cool. He goes back and forth between American and Japanese projects, but this is by far his biggest U.S. project. Also, an idea: For every time you guys say "sick" during a reaction, put a dollar into a jar and donate it to a charity of your viewers' choosing at the end of the year.
I’m so happy that you’re finally reacting to the Live-Action _One Piece_ series from Netflix, although I’m somewhat surprised the girls (Hailey & Stella) didn’t join in the reaction with the both of you for reasons (likely due to their work Schedules and personal lives as they only appear for the White Noise Reacts on Thursdays and Saturdays) all I can say is that this series broke the live-action anime curse because of how so well written the show is, the casting of its young actors as the Straw Hat crew and the chemistry the cast have with each other. Even Eiichiro Oda (the manga author of One Piece) was heavily involved in the production of this series which is another factor for why the series is so well done. I am hopeful that all four of you (you, Nobu, Hailey and Stella, especially You (James) and Nobu) will do a TV group reaction for the upcoming _Percy Jackson_ series that’s coming out on December 20 on Disney+ along with reacting to the Percy Jackson films, because it will be a missed opportunity just to have *ONLY* Hailey and Stella just react to the _Percy Jackson_ series but not all four of you reacting to the TV series together.
The speed with which I clicked on this video. I think that y'all are really going to like this show, not only is it a love letter to the fans but technically it's really well made. You made great comments on the sets and camerawork that's consistent throughout the whole season. It's just so much fun and one of the most brilliant casts they possibly could have found.
I’d love to see you start reading One Piece on your other channel to see what you think, especially coming off of Earthsea where you loved how the world was a bunch of scattered islands.
I'm glad you guys actually checked this out eventually hopefully you guys also check out the anime and really get to enjoy the one piece ride but this is good enough for me 💯🔥
I wonder if any of the Pirates of the Carribean writers took some inspiration from One Piece. Also a good portion of the (not straw hats) cast is from Black Sails. I'd love to see others from pirate media, like the guy who plays Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed Black Flag.
You will see a lot of anime fans complain that they skipped stuff from the anime. Oda the Manga author had to approve the cast and script/changes before they could go ahead with the series. There are 1100 episodes of the anime to date and this season only covers 45 to 60 episodes of the anime. They had to condense it for the nonfans or they would probably not watch for long. I am at episode 1000 so far.
This is so untrue. Many anime/manga fans actually like them. Of course some people might complain but i don't even see this type of people on my twitter. The fan pretty much either love them or enjoy them
May i add the one who disagree is just idiotic pervert people who nitpick 'the boob isn't as big' 'zoro is not as buff' 'usopp had long nose!' Those are no fans. Just idiotic people.
@@fie97 Yeah, it seems like the general consensus is that anime fans like this adaptation. They mostly consider the things left out okay because it's made to attract new fans, so people who like the Netflix show will want to go watch the original to see what they missed. In this way, this adaptation is good because it doesn't try to replace the original show.
Don't compare live action and the anime. That not fair, what they gonna do bro that only 8 episode. They still respect to original source and oda approve that.
i still dont know why they show garp this early or straight up delete hachi who plays a important role way down the line, and the issue with having more Garp is that they keep taking away ussop screentime lmao, he didint get to do shit in his own arc
Just so you know yes they built all the ships and sets they used prosthetics on the characters too mostly where the can. The phone is a snail called Den Den Mushi which also built too. It was on list that out sold Spiderman and Batman leaving Superman above it.
The manga was first before the Anime they follow that a bit more. It been 26 years old also it has out sold Spiderman and Batman leaving Superman just above it. The Manga writer Eiichiro Oda was involved all the way in it plus the show Runner Matt Owns is a mega fan. It always be the one show I will always watch in my life, The Lore and world building is big in it too,
Another show that definitely won't disappoint you, is Troll hunters: tales of arcadia! Vastly underrated show created by Guillermo del Toro!!! Need I say more. It has every thing more people need to show this series some love 😊
Hey! Hope you guys are doing well! I’m not sure if you guys take audience requests, but if you do, may I suggest Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium? It’s a family film starring Natalie Portman and Dustin Hoffman, and it is absolutely wonderful. It’s funny and sweet and emotional. It includes a magic toy store and a beautiful depiction of living joyfully in the face of tragedy. It’s an absolute hidden gem and one of my favorites. Plus, it’s just a fun watch! Thanks, and congrats on your channel’s success!
Thats the exact reason it works. Its not "on the nose". Cartoons, including anime, are charicatures (there are exceptions), theyre exaggerated. The main reason so few adaptations work is because they try to make it a 1:1 copy. The reason this works is because they dialed it all back *JUST* enough to be believable in a non exaggerated setting. If they took it just one step further it would fall into the same trap as almost all adaptations does. If they dialed it back another notch it would lose the anime feel. They looked for the balance and they found it.
One thing you guys should also know, hardly anything in this show is CGI maybe except the bird and sea monsters and the powers but everything else is real props hand built ships, taverns, etc.
I just recently started getting into One Piece this year cause one of my best friend's convinced me. I'm finally understanding why people love it so much. That being said, We watched the Live action show together and we both were in love with it. There was so much thought and love put into it while adjusting to pacing for Netflix while keeping the goofiness of the show. I'm really excited to see your reaction to the rest of the episodes.
I'm so happy you guys are watching this! I've been a One Piece fan for almost exactly 20 years, and I love this Live Action, no matter what others say. They made some changes from the anime, but it works imo (not gonna spoil anything). I'm actually glad that they didn't do a 1:1. Luffy is resistant to blunt force, like punches, but rubber can still be cut, so he has to be very careful against enemies with swords/knifes. In later adventures he meets a few villains against who he has trouble because of that. Edit: I don't know if you have already watched it, but the Live Action Alita Battle Angel is also really well done, imo.
Love that you guys were grinning the whole time 🤣 very telling. It's really a good live action adaptation of one of the greatest stories ever told/still being told.
"I alone captured Kuro of the thousands plans" hearing Morgan actually say that is nice especially since the anime never actually says that the marine in that flashback is Morgan, though we do see someone who looks like a young Morgan get his jaw broken while fighting Kuro and the black cat pirates. Little details like that and the appearance of Mr 7 who is only mentioned in the anime after they've already entered the grand line are making this interesting, and there was no way I was gonna bother watching this show unless I was watching other people watching it.
Just wait until you the whole season of live action, it's great, and season 2 is coming up. And wait until you guys watch the anime version it's amazing, it's full of adventure, fun, and full of action. But some of it is sad and heartbreaking at the same time
i'm so glad you guys are reacting to this!!! I've been avoiding OP for over a decade for several reasons and now I can't wait for exam season to be over so i can start watching the anime :D all because of the live adaptation
This series in live action is amazing & im currently waiting for season 2, & what helps on y this series hits so well is cause Oda Eiichiro the creator of One Piece made sure they did everything right & he actually helped getting the right ppl to play the characters
me and my friends are watching the anime, and we took a pause on it- and when this came out, we were very happy with the changes and such they made! it was nice and interesting to hear how much the creator wanted to re due and change now that they basically got this second chance!
I second that, although I’m not sure if the girls (Hailey & Stella) will join in for the next reactions or do a separate reaction of _One Piece_ for reasons, due to their work Schedules and personal lives as the girls only appear for the White Noise Reacts channel on Thursdays and Saturdays. So it’s just going to be James and Nobu from now until January. I am hopeful that all four of them (James, Nobu, Hailey and Stella, especially James and Nobu) will get to do a TV group reaction for the upcoming _Percy Jackson_ series that’s coming out on December 20 on Disney+ along with reacting to the _Percy Jackson_ films, because it will be a missed opportunity just to have *ONLY* Hailey and Stella just react to the _Percy Jackson_ series but not all four of you reacting to the TV series together, because the most recent TV series reaction the girls did was _The Last of Us_ and the more recent TV series reaction James did with Hailey and Stella was the Netflix series, _Wednesday_
FINALLYYY... I'M SO HAPPY!!! It's been a long time since i requested this cuz i wanna see you guys reaction so bad to this fantastic live action series! thank you so much Nobu & James.. always love you guys!~🤩❤🔥
love that you two are reacting to this at last! i went into the live action knowing zero, absolutely adored the entire series, and have watched idk how many reactions to it. more please ❤
Yeeeessss! I’ve been wanting y’all to react to this! I’m so glad y’all are enjoying it so far. Point of interest, this is actually an adaptation of the manga rather than the anime. Which isn’t a huge distinction, but a few plot details follow the manga rather than the anime and you’ll notice quite a few shots that specifically feel like a manga panel. Can’t wait to see y’all react to the rest of the season! They really did do an excellent job. Every actor showed up and decided to full send their performances in every scene. I’m glad you mentioned the music because it’s so good! While it’s not what’s in the anime, there are a few tracks that they use at key moments that have music from the anime.
i'm not sure if you guys realized but you had smiles on your faces almost the whole time. can't wait to see the rest of your reactions to this! :) the best thing about this live action is how good of a taster it is for the series, and it's still not as great as the original even though it is really great! how awesome is that!!
Love the original and the live action adaptation, and you guys got the context and the joke in the show! Not every reactors got all, but you guys appreciated all of it. Great reactors with great reactions as always!
Ive been a fan of the anime for almost 10 years and it makes me so happy that it has gain so much more recognition by people who dont typically watch anime! I love how the live action has encouraged people to give the manga/anime a chance because it truly is worth every minute/page! Besides, i enjoy seeing the reaction of people who dont know what to expect!
This show starts off amazing and only gets better. It's so good, the coming characters, their stories and the surprises. It is a very well done live action and it is just SO GOOD!
Here is a few things you should know about Devil-Fruits. 1st. There are 3 types of Devil-Fruits Paramythia, Zoan, and Logia. 2nd. When someone eats a Devil-Fruit that person loses their ability to swim forever. 3rd. You never know what power you're going to get until after you eat it. And one more thing you may see some people do Super-Human things throughout the series but that does not mean they have Devil-Fruit powers. Just to let you know.
Love everyone's first reaction to his stretchy skills. It's done so well. A good balance between reality with anime-feel unrealitstic-ness. Excited to watch the rest of the series with you guys!!
I'm so glad that you guys are reacting to this. I'm super interested in hearing your perspection, and I'm happy that you guys are enjoying this so far. Can't wait for the next episode!
i surprised the girls didnt join you you guys should ask them too this show is amazing and just to let you know this si the most expensive netflix show of all time they 13 million per episode estimating 110 million for the first season and they said they are going to put more money into the second season please let me know what you think
@@EChacon i wouldnt mind with stella and hailey did a reaction to one piece on one of the days they are free and i also would love them to react to the percy jackson series on december 20th
@@andrewvidmar3488 Not sure why my previous response to you got deleted all of a sudden.

@@andrewvidmar3488 And at the same time I definitely would love for Hailey and Stella doing more group reactions with James and Nobu outside of their Thursday Group reactions, such as reacting to TV shows and Animated Movies.
@@EChacon agreed i loved the last of us series and would have loved them doing it together it is part of the reason i loved their wednesday reaction because they did it together and no offense to james and nobo i know it was their channel first and they brought in the girls but when its the four of them doing it it is so entertaining and adds more dimensions and layers to the commendtary in my opinion
One of the smartest things that happened into going into the production of this live action was the fact the author of The One Piece manga Eichiro Oda had final say on Scripts casting or any other decision they made making this thing He could veto any idea like romance amongst the crew He's even made them reshoot scenes he wasn't happy with The main reason this worked was because they wouldn't even let this air until the author himself was satisfied
I can't believe I've seen this episode so many times yet it is the first time I realise the friggin background song in 13:55 that plays during the Shanks stitiching Luffy flashback is that same song that sounds like 10 times in just three episodes XD Shanks trully missing his childhood there XD
They spent like two years trying to find the right actor for Luffy, and I think they looked at like a thousand different actors before finding this actor that the creator of One Piece wholeheartedly approved of. Getting the optimistic, naive, hyperactive.. and yet also the more serious aspects right is so damn hard, especially when combined with the entire 'he has to look like the manga character' aspect. They got really damn lucky with this casting alone, not to mention the rest of the casting. Of all the actors that were cast, there are only one or two that I'm not convinced by, but all others killed it. Nami's actress was basically auditioning on Twitter since the very first moment the live action deal had been struck. Koby looks so much like his manga version it is unreal. Helmeppo (whiny haircut bitch boy) is just a chefs kiss in terms of how amazingly antagonistic he is as a wimpy daddy's boy. Captain Morgan was pretty decent too. Buggy is perhaps one of the best casts of the season simply in terms of his charisma with the screen (his actor does for Buggy what Heath Ledger did for the Joker!), but all the villains are amazingly cast. And while one may have some complaints about child actors at times, they are obviously children who cannot be held to the same standard as veteran adult actors. As a whole, EVERYONE did great, and you can tell just how much love and dedication went into the production of this live-action by everyone that was involved in it.
I've watched some of your videos and I've never seen Nobu getting this excited even from the start haha I was afraid you might not react to One Piece Live Action because you seem to rarely pick up TV series so I'm glad that you finally did!
Straight out of the bat, the live-action is well received because the production team and Netflix literally sought original author, Oda Eiichiro’s approval every single step including casting. If Oda doesn’t like a scene, they will reshoot it no matter how many times. You might even say it’s like that Oda basically rearranged the story himself to fit his expectations of LA series.
OMG yes im so happy youre watching this!! one piece is my favourite piece of media EVER, especially the manga, its so crazy good and its been going on since ive been alive, and im almost 27 :D cant wait to see what youll think of the rest 👀
this is showing what truly happens when you stick faithfully to the source material and have the creator of the material be onboard. like, yes, Morgan DOES have zebra pants in the manga/anime. Luffy is That carefree. Helmeppo's hair is THAT dumb. It's all here.
Let me help you boys with what you were struggling with at the end. They are doing it sincerely. Thats what this is. Everyone is COMPLETELY all in on this. Its ALL sincere.
The reason I think why the adaptation is good because first they got the creator involved with the production of the live action. Second, the show runner is a huge one piece and knows all the lore of the manga. Third, the main actors were also fans of the manga and did most of stunts themselves especially zoro and another actor but I won’t spoil you. Fourth, they adapted the live action to the manga not one to one but close enough and put some Easter eggs for the fans. Fun fact: Oda sensei was so involved that he chose the main actor for Luffy and he made them change scenes if he didn’t like the scene to match his story.
Well, gentlemen, as someone who’s halfway caught up to one piece, I can say that this live action was phenomenal in so many ways. I cannot wait to see your journey throughout this series and hear what you all think about it in your commentary.
This show had a TON of practical sets, all built and shot, primarily in South Africa. The sets and costumes are beautifully deatiled and are perfect translations from 2d to real life.
The music is really good. I was so surprised they had some original to the live action songs that are bangers, and also true to the anime as well like with Bink's Brew playing in the background of Shanks stitching up Luffy, and later on 2-3 times an instrumental version of "We Are!" which is the original intro to the anime plays. Recommend seeking out that intro so you recognize it later (not the 1000th episode version cuz spoilers, but the first one from the 90s. Not English dub rap lol) in the live action.
I look forward to your reactions to the rest of the season. I do know the man who created the comic never gave up creative control and had his say on how to translate it into live action. it keeps to the main beats of the anime while not having the volume of the animated series or Manga.
Actually the anime is just a front of how serious and dramatic One piece is.. But even with the goofy designs, it still touched so many lives already including mine (i cried too many times)! Thats because it is very relatable and realistic these issues/stories are.. Its a masterpiece! Great world building and the best story ever written IMHO! So With the live action, its a perfect platform to share this great story to more people!! Cheers! Great reaction
35:27 that first move was so important cinematically. Because there are two types of people watching this when Zoro puts the 3rd sword in his mouth. 1: those who saw the anime/manga who know it is about to get serious. 2: first timers, most of which think it is silly that he is doing that. Then that first move hits and send Morgan flying across the yard.
What anime do YOU think should be adapted into live action?

The fight choreography is actually really good because they did it so sincerely. It feels anime because they didn't shy away from it, and they worked so hard to make it work in an anime style. There's a fight in a later episode that is so good I can't wait to see you guys react to it. What I like best is that they shoot it in such a way that you can actually tell what's happening, where everyone is. It's not this rapid cuts of like twenty shaky-cam shots in one second style that everyone else is doing lately. Outside of John Wick, I suppose. Then they add in a bunch of wirework and other stylistic stuff, and it's done in a way that feels so authentic.
It helps that each of the actors is able to do a lot of the choreography. You can hide a lot of sins with jump cuts, but longer shots feel more real
@@andrewmacmaster5452 Yeah, very true.
They did SO well on this show. I've barely seen any One Piece anime, but I was sucked into this hook line and sinker.

I’m so happy that you’re finally reacting to the Live-Action _One Piece_ series from Netflix, although I’m somewhat surprised the girls (Hailey & Stella) didn’t join in the reaction with the both of you for reasons (likely due to their work Schedules and personal lives as they only appear for the White Noise Reacts on Thursdays and Saturdays) all I can say is that this series broke the live-action anime curse because of how so well written the show is, the casting of its young actors as the Straw Hat crew and the chemistry the cast have with each other. Even Eiichiro Oda (the manga author of One Piece) was heavily involved in the production of this series which is another factor for why the series is so well done.
I am hopeful that all four of you (you, Nobu, Hailey and Stella, especially You (James) and Nobu) will do a TV group reaction for the upcoming _Percy Jackson_ series that’s coming out on December 20 on Disney+ along with reacting to the Percy Jackson films, because it will be a missed opportunity just to have *ONLY* Hailey and Stella just react to the _Percy Jackson_ series but not all four of you reacting to the TV series together.
The speed with which I clicked on this video. I think that y'all are really going to like this show, not only is it a love letter to the fans but technically it's really well made. You made great comments on the sets and camerawork that's consistent throughout the whole season. It's just so much fun and one of the most brilliant casts they possibly could have found.
Thanks ;)
I’d love to see you start reading One Piece on your other channel to see what you think, especially coming off of Earthsea where you loved how the world was a bunch of scattered islands.
Welcome to the One Piece Nakama!!!! We are super excited to have you with us!
Awesome! Welcome to this journey guys!) 😍✌🏻
One piece is a incredible show.
YES! FINALLY! i'm so hyped for this!
I'm glad you guys actually checked this out eventually hopefully you guys also check out the anime and really get to enjoy the one piece ride but this is good enough for me 💯🔥
The Rurouni Kenshin movies will probably be my favorite Live action adaptation for a long time, but one piece came pretty close. 🥰
I love this thanks!
The boat battle reminds me of pirates of the Caribbean and other live action films and franchises
I wonder if any of the Pirates of the Carribean writers took some inspiration from One Piece. Also a good portion of the (not straw hats) cast is from Black Sails. I'd love to see others from pirate media, like the guy who plays Edward Kenway in Assassin's Creed Black Flag.
You will see a lot of anime fans complain that they skipped stuff from the anime. Oda the Manga author had to approve the cast and script/changes before they could go ahead with the series. There are 1100 episodes of the anime to date and this season only covers 45 to 60 episodes of the anime. They had to condense it for the nonfans or they would probably not watch for long. I am at episode 1000 so far.
This is so untrue. Many anime/manga fans actually like them. Of course some people might complain but i don't even see this type of people on my twitter. The fan pretty much either love them or enjoy them
May i add the one who disagree is just idiotic pervert people who nitpick 'the boob isn't as big' 'zoro is not as buff' 'usopp had long nose!' Those are no fans. Just idiotic people.
@@fie97 Yeah, it seems like the general consensus is that anime fans like this adaptation. They mostly consider the things left out okay because it's made to attract new fans, so people who like the Netflix show will want to go watch the original to see what they missed. In this way, this adaptation is good because it doesn't try to replace the original show.
Don't compare live action and the anime. That not fair, what they gonna do bro that only 8 episode. They still respect to original source and oda approve that.
i still dont know why they show garp this early or straight up delete hachi who plays a important role way down the line, and the issue with having more Garp is that they keep taking away ussop screentime lmao, he didint get to do shit in his own arc
I only just realised that you can hear “Binks’ Brew” playing in the background while Luffy is getting stitched up.
Just so you know yes they built all the ships and sets they used prosthetics on the characters too mostly where the can. The phone is a snail called Den Den Mushi which also built too. It was on list that out sold Spiderman and Batman leaving Superman above it.
I wasn't into One Piece until I saw this adaptation and now my whole family and I are in love with it!
YES! I LOVE THIS SERIES! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!! 😍💖🔥
I was waiting for this reaction 😍😍😍
The manga was first before the Anime they follow that a bit more. It been 26 years old also it has out sold Spiderman and Batman leaving Superman just above it. The Manga writer Eiichiro Oda was involved all the way in it plus the show Runner Matt Owns is a mega fan. It always be the one show I will always watch in my life, The Lore and world building is big in it too,
One Piece has outsold the Bible at this point man
I can't wait to the next reactions
The father of the actor playing Zoro is a famous martial artist.
Another show that definitely won't disappoint you, is Troll hunters: tales of arcadia! Vastly underrated show created by Guillermo del Toro!!! Need I say more. It has every thing more people need to show this series some love 😊
Hey! Hope you guys are doing well! I’m not sure if you guys take audience requests, but if you do, may I suggest Mr. Magorium’s Wonder Emporium? It’s a family film starring Natalie Portman and Dustin Hoffman, and it is absolutely wonderful. It’s funny and sweet and emotional. It includes a magic toy store and a beautiful depiction of living joyfully in the face of tragedy. It’s an absolute hidden gem and one of my favorites. Plus, it’s just a fun watch! Thanks, and congrats on your channel’s success!
Thats the exact reason it works.
Its not "on the nose".
Cartoons, including anime, are charicatures (there are exceptions), theyre exaggerated.
The main reason so few adaptations work is because they try to make it a 1:1 copy.
The reason this works is because they dialed it all back *JUST* enough to be believable in a non exaggerated setting.
If they took it just one step further it would fall into the same trap as almost all adaptations does.
If they dialed it back another notch it would lose the anime feel.
They looked for the balance and they found it.
The prologue, and title drop with music is arguably the best intro to come out in past few years.
One thing you guys should also know, hardly anything in this show is CGI maybe except the bird and sea monsters and the powers but everything else is real props hand built ships, taverns, etc.
I just recently started getting into One Piece this year cause one of my best friend's convinced me. I'm finally understanding why people love it so much. That being said, We watched the Live action show together and we both were in love with it. There was so much thought and love put into it while adjusting to pacing for Netflix while keeping the goofiness of the show. I'm really excited to see your reaction to the rest of the episodes.

I'm so happy you guys are watching this! I've been a One Piece fan for almost exactly 20 years, and I love this Live Action, no matter what others say. They made some changes from the anime, but it works imo (not gonna spoil anything). I'm actually glad that they didn't do a 1:1.
Luffy is resistant to blunt force, like punches, but rubber can still be cut, so he has to be very careful against enemies with swords/knifes. In later adventures he meets a few villains against who he has trouble because of that.
Edit: I don't know if you have already watched it, but the Live Action Alita Battle Angel is also really well done, imo.
Love that you guys were grinning the whole time 🤣 very telling. It's really a good live action adaptation of one of the greatest stories ever told/still being told.
Even the lowest cmnt is positive W
Awesome, glad you liked, hope you continue with the reactions
So glad you guys are getting into this. It's really well done and I know you're gonna love it.
"I alone captured Kuro of the thousands plans" hearing Morgan actually say that is nice especially since the anime never actually says that the marine in that flashback is Morgan, though we do see someone who looks like a young Morgan get his jaw broken while fighting Kuro and the black cat pirates.
Little details like that and the appearance of Mr 7 who is only mentioned in the anime after they've already entered the grand line are making this interesting, and there was no way I was gonna bother watching this show unless I was watching other people watching it.
They haven't even seen that
Just wait until you the whole season of live action, it's great, and season 2 is coming up. And wait until you guys watch the anime version it's amazing, it's full of adventure, fun, and full of action. But some of it is sad and heartbreaking at the same time
i'm so glad you guys are reacting to this!!! I've been avoiding OP for over a decade for several reasons and now I can't wait for exam season to be over so i can start watching the anime :D all because of the live adaptation
W
This series in live action is amazing & im currently waiting for season 2, & what helps on y this series hits so well is cause Oda Eiichiro the creator of One Piece made sure they did everything right & he actually helped getting the right ppl to play the characters
Bink's sake tune playing in background ❤
me and my friends are watching the anime, and we took a pause on it- and when this came out, we were very happy with the changes and such they made! it was nice and interesting to hear how much the creator wanted to re due and change now that they basically got this second chance!
Luffy gives off such autistic energy and i love him for it-
Yaaaaaaaayyyy I’m so glad you guys are reacting to this!! ~
YES! You guys should get the girls to watch too - I would love to see their reactions
I second that, although I’m not sure if the girls (Hailey & Stella) will join in for the next reactions or do a separate reaction of _One Piece_ for reasons, due to their work Schedules and personal lives as the girls only appear for the White Noise Reacts channel on Thursdays and Saturdays. So it’s just going to be James and Nobu from now until January.
I am hopeful that all four of them (James, Nobu, Hailey and Stella, especially James and Nobu) will get to do a TV group reaction for the upcoming _Percy Jackson_ series that’s coming out on December 20 on Disney+ along with reacting to the _Percy Jackson_ films, because it will be a missed opportunity just to have *ONLY* Hailey and Stella just react to the _Percy Jackson_ series but not all four of you reacting to the TV series together, because the most recent TV series reaction the girls did was _The Last of Us_ and the more recent TV series reaction James did with Hailey and Stella was the Netflix series, _Wednesday_
omgggg i was so excited when i saw the notification!!! i'm so happy, you're really going to enjoy the series
FINALLYYY... I'M SO HAPPY!!! It's been a long time since i requested this cuz i wanna see you guys reaction so bad to this fantastic live action series! thank you so much Nobu & James.. always love you guys!~🤩❤🔥
love that you two are reacting to this at last! i went into the live action knowing zero, absolutely adored the entire series, and have watched idk how many reactions to it. more please ❤
Yeeeessss! I’ve been wanting y’all to react to this! I’m so glad y’all are enjoying it so far. Point of interest, this is actually an adaptation of the manga rather than the anime. Which isn’t a huge distinction, but a few plot details follow the manga rather than the anime and you’ll notice quite a few shots that specifically feel like a manga panel.
Can’t wait to see y’all react to the rest of the season! They really did do an excellent job. Every actor showed up and decided to full send their performances in every scene. I’m glad you mentioned the music because it’s so good! While it’s not what’s in the anime, there are a few tracks that they use at key moments that have music from the anime.
Excited y'all are watching!!! Its so good. The changes they made made sense for the change in medium while staying true to the original's heart
i'm not sure if you guys realized but you had smiles on your faces almost the whole time. can't wait to see the rest of your reactions to this! :) the best thing about this live action is how good of a taster it is for the series, and it's still not as great as the original even though it is really great! how awesome is that!!
Love the original and the live action adaptation, and you guys got the context and the joke in the show! Not every reactors got all, but you guys appreciated all of it. Great reactors with great reactions as always!
Ive been a fan of the anime for almost 10 years and it makes me so happy that it has gain so much more recognition by people who dont typically watch anime! I love how the live action has encouraged people to give the manga/anime a chance because it truly is worth every minute/page! Besides, i enjoy seeing the reaction of people who dont know what to expect!
YES!!!! ONEPIECE!!!!!! I’m so glad you guys are reacting to this!
That pirate in the red jacket looks like Captain Hook or something similar
Gold Roger at the beginning? Also there is a character (not in this season) that is important who has a hook.
This show starts off amazing and only gets better. It's so good, the coming characters, their stories and the surprises. It is a very well done live action and it is just SO GOOD!
Here is a few things you should know about Devil-Fruits.
1st. There are 3 types of Devil-Fruits Paramythia, Zoan, and Logia.
2nd. When someone eats a Devil-Fruit that person loses their ability to swim forever.
3rd. You never know what power you're going to get until after you eat it.
And one more thing you may see some people do Super-Human things throughout the series but that does not mean they have Devil-Fruit powers. Just to let you know.
Love everyone's first reaction to his stretchy skills. It's done so well. A good balance between reality with anime-feel unrealitstic-ness. Excited to watch the rest of the series with you guys!!
I'm so glad that you guys are reacting to this. I'm super interested in hearing your perspection, and I'm happy that you guys are enjoying this so far. Can't wait for the next episode!
Let’s just say you’re tapping into a new fanbase and I wish you good luck!
i surprised the girls didnt join you you guys should ask them too this show is amazing and just to let you know this si the most expensive netflix show of all time they 13 million per episode estimating 110 million for the first season and they said they are going to put more money into the second season please let me know what you think
@@EChacon i wouldnt mind with stella and hailey did a reaction to one piece on one of the days they are free and i also would love them to react to the percy jackson series on december 20th
@@andrewvidmar3488 Not sure why my previous response to you got deleted all of a sudden.

@@andrewvidmar3488 Just as long James and Nobu are involved for the _Percy Jackson_ series because it was a missed opportunity that they didn’t reacted to _The Last of Us_ with Hailey and Stella.
@@andrewvidmar3488 And at the same time I definitely would love for Hailey and Stella doing more group reactions with James and Nobu outside of their Thursday Group reactions, such as reacting to TV shows and Animated Movies.
@@EChacon agreed i loved the last of us series and would have loved them doing it together it is part of the reason i loved their wednesday reaction because they did it together and no offense to james and nobo i know it was their channel first and they brought in the girls but when its the four of them doing it it is so entertaining and adds more dimensions and layers to the commendtary in my opinion
I’m glad you guys are reacting to this. I went in knowing nothing either but it hooked me from episode one and became my favorite show this year.
YEYYYYY!!!!!!!!!!! Been waiting for you guys to react for this
It’s awesome
One of the smartest things that happened into going into the production of this live action was the fact the author of The One Piece manga Eichiro Oda had final say on Scripts casting or any other decision they made making this thing He could veto any idea like romance amongst the crew He's even made them reshoot scenes he wasn't happy with The main reason this worked was because they wouldn't even let this air until the author himself was satisfied
I can't believe I've seen this episode so many times yet it is the first time I realise the friggin background song in 13:55 that plays during the Shanks stitiching Luffy flashback is that same song that sounds like 10 times in just three episodes XD Shanks trully missing his childhood there XD
I absolutely love your thoughts on this show! I'd never seen the anime or read the manga before watching the show and I'm absolutely in love myself!
OH YES OH YES OH YES
They spent like two years trying to find the right actor for Luffy, and I think they looked at like a thousand different actors before finding this actor that the creator of One Piece wholeheartedly approved of. Getting the optimistic, naive, hyperactive.. and yet also the more serious aspects right is so damn hard, especially when combined with the entire 'he has to look like the manga character' aspect. They got really damn lucky with this casting alone, not to mention the rest of the casting. Of all the actors that were cast, there are only one or two that I'm not convinced by, but all others killed it. Nami's actress was basically auditioning on Twitter since the very first moment the live action deal had been struck. Koby looks so much like his manga version it is unreal. Helmeppo (whiny haircut bitch boy) is just a chefs kiss in terms of how amazingly antagonistic he is as a wimpy daddy's boy. Captain Morgan was pretty decent too. Buggy is perhaps one of the best casts of the season simply in terms of his charisma with the screen (his actor does for Buggy what Heath Ledger did for the Joker!), but all the villains are amazingly cast. And while one may have some complaints about child actors at times, they are obviously children who cannot be held to the same standard as veteran adult actors. As a whole, EVERYONE did great, and you can tell just how much love and dedication went into the production of this live-action by everyone that was involved in it.
I just founf you guys today and then y'all just posted this too! I'm so psyched because I also just got into the fandom! Now I can't wait for more! XD
Hell yeah, been waiting for you guys to react to this!
I've watched some of your videos and I've never seen Nobu getting this excited even from the start haha I was afraid you might not react to One Piece Live Action because you seem to rarely pick up TV series so I'm glad that you finally did!
Tru
Straight out of the bat, the live-action is well received because the production team and Netflix literally sought original author, Oda Eiichiro’s approval every single step including casting. If Oda doesn’t like a scene, they will reshoot it no matter how many times.
You might even say it’s like that Oda basically rearranged the story himself to fit his expectations of LA series.
YAYYYY It's gonna be fun watching with you guys I love your channel so much! ❤
Welcome to the crew! You are only getting a drop in the bucket 😁🏴☠
OMG yes im so happy youre watching this!! one piece is my favourite piece of media EVER, especially the manga, its so crazy good and its been going on since ive been alive, and im almost 27 :D cant wait to see what youll think of the rest 👀
Speaking as a fan of both the original and this adaption, I'm looking forward to seeing you guys do more reactions on one piece
Awesome! Excited to see you two react to this. Enjoy it!
Excited for you guys to go on this journey. This show goes *ridiculously* hard.
this is showing what truly happens when you stick faithfully to the source material and have the creator of the material be onboard.
like, yes, Morgan DOES have zebra pants in the manga/anime.
Luffy is That carefree.
Helmeppo's hair is THAT dumb.
It's all here.
"Its a lil freaky but its kind of an op power."
One piece fans: *turn into the side eye monkey meme*
Let me help you boys with what you were struggling with at the end. They are doing it sincerely. Thats what this is. Everyone is COMPLETELY all in on this. Its ALL sincere.
The reason I think why the adaptation is good because first they got the creator involved with the production of the live action. Second, the show runner is a huge one piece and knows all the lore of the manga. Third, the main actors were also fans of the manga and did most of stunts themselves especially zoro and another actor but I won’t spoil you. Fourth, they adapted the live action to the manga not one to one but close enough and put some Easter eggs for the fans. Fun fact: Oda sensei was so involved that he chose the main actor for Luffy and he made them change scenes if he didn’t like the scene to match his story.
Well, gentlemen, as someone who’s halfway caught up to one piece, I can say that this live action was phenomenal in so many ways. I cannot wait to see your journey throughout this series and hear what you all think about it in your commentary.
Anime fans just take the snail phone in stride, like yah it's perfectly normal for them to exist.
Welcome to the crew! :3
This show had a TON of practical sets, all built and shot, primarily in South Africa. The sets and costumes are beautifully deatiled and are perfect translations from 2d to real life.
The music is really good. I was so surprised they had some original to the live action songs that are bangers, and also true to the anime as well like with Bink's Brew playing in the background of Shanks stitching up Luffy, and later on 2-3 times an instrumental version of "We Are!" which is the original intro to the anime plays. Recommend seeking out that intro so you recognize it later (not the 1000th episode version cuz spoilers, but the first one from the 90s. Not English dub rap lol) in the live action.
One piece is my favourite anime and live action too and I am so happy and inspired that you guys are watching it!!!!❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
im obsessed with the live action im so excited for season 2
sooo glad ur watching this!!
I look forward to your reactions to the rest of the season. I do know the man who created the comic never gave up creative control and had his say on how to translate it into live action. it keeps to the main beats of the anime while not having the volume of the animated series or Manga.
Actually the anime is just a front of how serious and dramatic One piece is.. But even with the goofy designs, it still touched so many lives already including mine (i cried too many times)! Thats because it is very relatable and realistic these issues/stories are.. Its a masterpiece! Great world building and the best story ever written IMHO!
So With the live action, its a perfect platform to share this great story to more people!!
Cheers! Great reaction
35:27 that first move was so important cinematically. Because there are two types of people watching this when Zoro puts the 3rd sword in his mouth. 1: those who saw the anime/manga who know it is about to get serious. 2: first timers, most of which think it is silly that he is doing that. Then that first move hits and send Morgan flying across the yard.
