7:58 Ok, on the JJK thing. Yuji’s motivation is internal, similar to Bleach’s Ichigo. Yuji simply wants to understand what his grandfather meant by “dying a good death.” Knowing this, it adds a layer underneath every death Yuji faces (including his own, TWICE) as well as how he interacts with others. On a personal level, the anime started to air around the time my own grandfather died so I immediately hooked onto JJK and Yuji specifically.
That’s true but to me ichigo is just a little bit more of better realized character than yuji BC bleach has Kiskue, not gojo, if bleach had a gojo, ichigo would have been as useless as yuji most the time😂 i love yuji but man gojo truly screwed him over story wise and fandom wise
@@Kilonzo8811 is it because kisuke rarely helps ichigo except on really really dire situations like when aizen wouldn’t die and he had to seal him right and gojo just helps yuji like everytime
@@infinity_sh4816i know that, kiskue actually pushed ichigo to the point of death many times to train him, gojo SUCKS as a teacher almost all his students dead😂
I don't think it's that deep with the OP live action. Yes I prefer the original manga story of OP and was disappointed that they reshuffled and cut out a lot of the story in the LA. However, as long as the audience understands that the LA is not a substitute for the original, and the original is still worth checking out as its own piece of literature, I don't think there's anything wrong with the LA existing, and it is still enjoyable for fans and non-fans alike.
I treat it like Harry Potter, the movies are good and can be enjoyed on their own. But if you really want to dive into the story and see everything, its worth watching the anime or reading the manga too yk
Yeah, I can agree with that. OPLA is an adaptation, but so is the anime. There are noted changes there, though not as drastic. I'm so used to the number of adaptations of western works that have been on-going for decades and handled by multiple writers. The iterations, the interpretations, and differences can be a boon for the whole fandom. More One Piece fans isn't a bad thing. I don't think an adaptation, good or bad, takes anything from the source material as the work exists, as intended, on the page.
I agree, also she said that anime was already perfect but the OP anime is notoriously full of filler and slow pacing😭I think the manga is still the best way to consume one piece, but the live action is doing a pretty good job of getting new people into the series🤷♂️
Yeah unlike anime fans, live action OP fan realize an adaptation is not a substitute for the original work. If only anime fans did that with manga instead of just watching the anime.
I disagree with the live action OP take. Having the live action condense the story makes it more palatable for a lot of people, especially people who might work full time or are generally busy so attempting to watch 1000+ episodes can be a turn off. It's also not a replacement for the anime and manga, infact if a person likes the live action, it could make them eager to hop on to the manga or anime.
fr i dont get this take of “you just don’t respect the medium of animation if you think the live action did it better” like i had the LOWEST hopes of it being good because even tho i’ve never watched an episode of OP i know that translating something from animation into live action, esp something that takes advantage of the animated medium so well is going to be hard, but i think they did it great! i still can’t start the anime or manga bc keeping up with college is already hard as is but from what i’ve heard they cut (stuff like jokes/gags that took away tension from serious moments or filler or general anime pervy things) i would probably not like it as much. also i’ve seen fans say that they’re a little sad that they cut zoro’s personality from being a serious but kinda fun guy to being more serious and taking away most of the fun, just with some drier humour. i mean the dry humour is more my thing as well so there’s that. either way from what i’ve noticed more people are reading the manga and watching the anime than before which i think would be the live action’s end goal so that’s good.
That's fair but I still agree with her take, i think it's kind of too bad seeing what they've done with some characters and how there's always another anime that just has to be remade into a live action, i've liked the one piece one for the most part but it can get a bit old and definitely can get a bit annoying when it comes to ppl constantly comparing them to each other. There are movies that take the arcs and put them into the length of a movie for those interested if watching every episode isn't for you but you'd still like to try it out, but anyway as a big fan of the anime, i still want to say the adaptation is pretty good, but I think it's still missing a lot of key elements that made one piece so special to begin with
I definetly do not agree with ur jjk take as a manga reader the first season is handsdown the weakest in the series and in terms of plot it keeps things very vauge with few hints to the shibuya incident. But to say the characters arent intresting is definetly a diservice to the show, they might not be the deepest most well written characters but they are fairly well written. We can see itadori’s motivation multiple times when he is joining jujutsu high his motive for saving people is questioned by the principal, he expresses doubt whether yuji can save ppl just cuxpz his grand dad said so, but then yuuji strenghtens his resolve and talks about dying a proper death and also that he would hate not doing smthn to save ppl when he has to means to do it, when he is killed by sukuna we can see he is happy and satisfied as he was able to save megumi and he did not die alone. He has also shown to have a saviour mentality quiet the opposite of megumi, who uses his own sense of justice to help people or let them die. Then there is the relationship between mahito and yuuji, with all this its just disingenuous to say there arent any intresting characters in the show or that the only redeeming quality for the show are its fights
Shit is still vauge in jjk, and almost no interactions to like the character more or to understand the impact the deaths are them... shit i forgot, jjk fans dont care about that, you guy like it being "different" and realistic" and that death is meaningless in jjk and have underdeveloped characters
I think it boils down to things just resonate differently with ppl. For instance many agree that fairy tail is below mid but it has a hardcore fan base regardless. So I doubt she's being disingenuous and more so calling it like she sees it. Honestly, the discussion of wasted potential of certain characters in JJK Intrigues me despite me loving the show in general. Many ppl see all the deaths as justified and perfect but personally I could see flaws in some of them.
Adaptation being a "disrespect" of the original medium is a very bad take 😬. Especially since most of these anime are based on manga, like I can make the same argument you did but now one step deeper.
Anime is usually a 1.1 adaptation of the source material or very close to that. Live action is usually all over the place with changing how the story goes completely like with the cowboy bebop netflix one.
what she said about jjk clearly shows that she is an anime only, who just watches it for the fights, while not seeing depth because jjk doesnt throw it in your face
I am anime only but JJK feels like one of the few shows that actually have really easy to understand characters. Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Maki, Mechamaru, Gojo, Sukuna, Jogo, Gakuganji are just some characters who you understand in S1 which most shows barely are able to explain the main cast.
What depth ? All i see are headcannons and ghost writters for the characters in JJK, most people in that fandom doesnt even understand gojo or their trash MC
The JJK take is pretty spicy imo. Sorcerers are necessarily the worst kinds of people, so I think focusing on the plot and events keeps the momentum moving forward intentionally. It's like in real life where giving yourself time to think about your situation might bum you out. I don't know if it's deliberate, but I can't think of any major character moments that aren't heartbreaking - I think that's in line with the thesis of the work. Sorcerers are awful people, but they're selfless, so, in a way, I think it makes a lot of sense to sideline character moments in favor of plot until the two overlap. That might be just me, though. I'm very plot-focused in my own works, so~ I think the fact that you keep centering nuance in your discussions is spilling into your comment section. There are some genuinely thoughtful comments that I feel good about engaging with. You're such a good RUclipsr.
I disagree about your take on the One Piece adaptation. It definitely captures the heart of the anime. The comedy was always going to be the thing that would be hardest to adapt, but its not the only thing that makes One Piece great. I'm glad everyone is liking the show. And I hope they make more seasons.
Quick question, because I've noticed that everyone who likes the show keeps saying this. How did the live action netflix one piece capture the heart of the anime? I'm curious to read your answer to why you say that.
@@Thatman615 The sense of adventure is there. The strawhats are all very well casted. Set pieces are excellent. Its faithful in its look, but not exactly a 1:1 recreation, which it shouldn't and can't possibly be. Sanji is charming and flirty, but not overbearingly so. Zoro is definitely more edgy and deadpan than simple. Luffy is perfect in the sense that he's optimistic and childish but not so simple minded where the characters comes off dumb.
@@redmangoose182 When you say that the sense of adventure is there, and that the set pieces are excellent, what specifically do you mean by that? I personally disagree with your point about the casting for the most part, as I didn't really mind Taz as sanji. He seems to have the most potential as an actor out of all of the strawhat crew actors. I personally didn't buy inaki as luffy, or makinu as zoro. My main issue with luffy, was that his more angry, serious, and stern side wasn't captured well at all. As we all know, that is who luffy truly is deep down beyond all of the smiling, laughing, and joking. He becomes a violent and fierce force of nature, during an intense situation. When inaki tried to bring out that side of his luffy, he sounded stilted and awkward, almost like he wasn't comfortable. After the luffy help me scene, when inakis luffy said "let's go" it sounded really forced and awkward. This happened during the arlong fight with several lines. When he said "Nami isn't some tool to be used!" that line didn't sound natural at all, his tone came off really unnatural and stiff. I'm not sure if this was inakis fault, or if it was the directors fault that he sounded really unnatural during so many scenes. I personally think that it was a mixture of both. Even during luffys light hearted moments, he just didn't work or feel like luffy at all to me. Besides, there's more to luffy than just his joyful side, which is all I kept hearing about during the behind the scenes videos from the production crew, they predominantly kept talking about one side of the character, his joyful side. As for zoro, there wasn't a proper balance of him being stoic and laid back at all. I don't know if people remember, but in east blue, zoro was a pretty laid back aloof kind of guy, similar to luffy. He wasn't just deadpan serious and stoic one-hundred percent of the time, like he is in the live action. The're a few exceptions when he may crack a one liner, like when he insulted helmepos hair. But, it's rare that I see zoros more humorous side come out in the live action adaptation. Gags with him having a poor sense of direction would've translated just fine into the show. I'm not sure why they decided to make zoro overly serious, but I wasn't buying makinu as zoro at all. I especially didn't buy his weak acting. His vow to never lose again speech, sounded more like a yelp than a passionate crying out of the soul. One piece is all about moments like those, and the live action failed to create its own impact with that particular scene. It was incredibly disappointing. I also have issues with emily rudds weak acting, and the actor for usopp having even worse acting. But anyway, that's all I had to say for now. There were a few things that I liked about the one piece live action, but I largely didn't enjoy it at all. I couldn't help but fall asleep at times while watching it. Forcing me to go back and rewatch what I had missed. I'll admit that the adaptation made me more grateful for the manga and the anime though.
@deeznut4775 What're you talking about? who said anything about the one piece live action needing to be entirely one to one? especially in luffys case when it comes to his humorous side, which I never said needed to happen. Did you read my whole comment? I'm genuinely curious.
@deeznut4775 I'm not exactly sure if oda has the authority to do that, considering the fact that there may've been contracts that he signed. Also, I believe that season 2 has already been green lit. I'm not sure what made you think that the one piece live action would get canceled after one season, especially after all of the positive reception its been getting.
I have an idea for you: Why don't you make a video about the anime that is most underrated for you? The anime that you think deserve to be famous, like Jujutsu Kaisen or Chainsaw man or others.
@@saitama53034 No matter how good you think they are it's still shonen and therefore the writing can't help but be terrible. Female characters only exist to be killed etc.
When I first heart of the live action one piece and saw the trailer, I was skeptical for all the reasons that you mentioned. But when I actually watched it, I saw a good quality Netflix show with beautiful sets, attention to detail, lots of Easter eggs and a lot of heart. This show was made with love and it shows. I agree that compressing 50+ episodes of a show into just 8 is not ideal, but look at what they managed to do with it. I would say that what they did is in and of itself a huge accomplishment, adapting one of the most unadaptable Manga out there into a good quality live action that delivers on the emotions. The chemistry of the strawman crew closely mirrored that of the anime while not making the live action too campy but still retaining some of the goofiness and most of the heart that the show is known for. As far as the "adaptations are necessary coz people don't respect the source material" comment is concerned, I would say that different adaptations have different things to offer. In my opinion, the manga covers some arcs better whereas the anime does some others better. The Live action One Piece is good enough to stand on it's own two legs as a worthy adaptation of One piece. Sure there are flaws in it, but you're telling me the original source material is flawless? Sometimes, giving people the story in a medium that is more digestible to them eventually takes them to or warms them up to the source material. For me, I started off with the anime and then started to read the manga. So yeah, I get what you are saying, but I feel like the one piece live action isn't as bad as some superfans think ( I am one myself) and that it was made and brought to life by people who really love and care about the source material.
"beautiful sets, attention to detail, lots of Easter eggs and a lot of heart." this is the problem with the live-action. they focused more on these aspects and seemed to forget that oda is one of the best writers of our time and that his characters are extremely well-written and complex. they should have spent less time on easter eggs and recreations of iconic moments, and spent more time on character writing and thinking about WHY those moments are impactful. sanji's goodbye scene feels incredibly lackluster in the live-action because they literally cut out his character defining moments leading up to that moment. they even cut the main villain and fight of the arc which was the main reason sanji got inspired to join luffy and chase after his dream. they also changed his personality completely but i won't get into that. and people keep making excuses for this show "they only had 8 episodes". that's not the problem. the problem is the wrote with plot in mind, not the characters. just look at what they did with usopp. he was completely sidelined despite being a main character, and koby got more screentime and development than him. the thing is, the creators being one piece fans is not a guarantee for a good show. you know, there are thousands of fanfictions about one piece, all written by fans, but most of them won't be "great". but every now and then, there's a fanfic that feels like it was written by oda, where the characters feel like themselves. knowing and understanding the characters is one thing, but actually writing them and putting them in new situations while still keeping them in-character? that's a skill. a skill i don't think these live-action writers have if i'm being honest.
@@lordlook I think they spent the right amount of time on character writing and making the audience realize why the impactful moments are impactful. I never said that being fans of the show equals them producing a good show. I personally feel like the showrunners managed to succeed in putting the characters in different situations and making them feel like the original characters of the manga, and I have mentioned in the comments why I think the creators DO have that skill. If you want them to do everything you said, you need to give them unlimited money and unlimited time. Plus in this case, even the actors are humans who age. Taking all this into consideration, they did a spectacular job. Every person that I've seen who dislikes the live action is unique in what they dislike about the show. As showrunners, you can't satisfy everyone. But they did satisfy me and lots of other long time fans of the show, enough to make most people calim that the one piece live action show broke the live action curse. If you disliked it, I am sorry my friend, but I loved it. Most people who saw it loved it. Here's the fun part tho, you still can enjoy the anime and manga and let the people who enjoy the live action enjoy it coz for me, the things that they get right outweigh it's flaws by a lot. Live and let live right?
Great video! For the JJK take I get it. It’s really hard to get a read on the characters early on and for me at least things only clicked into place after season 2. Like I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 (and subsequent manga reading) is when I fell in love with it. And for the dubs take I agree. I get why people would say that dubs use to to be bad but that’s not true anymore. I think they forget that there are a lot of people who need dubs to be able to enjoy anime at all. (People vision impairments, dyslexia, ADHD, etc). On another note, I’m not sure how much better of an experience you get watching subs vs dubs anyway. Most of the interesting nuances are lost just through the act of translating anyway so is there really a big difference between reading the subtitles( direct translation) and listening to the dub performance (which leans more towards the spirt of the translation). It’s also probably difficult to tell if the Japanese version is good or not since you don’t speak that language. I’ve been learning Japanese for a bit and I still find it difficult to recognize smaller emotions off of voice alone. (The might be a me problem though). Those are just my thoughts though and I may be wrong. Anyway my point is that it’s just a preference and dubs can be good. 😅 I watch both if I like a show enough. It’s fun to compare them.
I think the idea that live actions are made because people 'refuse to respect the medium it's already in' is just a super bad faith take. It's also something that very rarely gets said about other kinds of adaptations. Like most animes are themselves adaptations (of manga, or light novels, or video games, etc.) and I know we get a lot of 'the manga was better' people, but the majority of people aren't out here talking bad about them just for existing. And they can exist for a variety of reasons, sometimes to get a bigger audience /for/ the source material, or because someone making the adaptation really loves the original and wants to see it in a new medium, or because they think it's a story that would work well/better in said different medium. These are all good reasons for an adaptation to be made. With OPLA, yes they changed things, but that show is still undoubtedly One Piece. So many things the characters say feel so authentically them. I think if you go into the show, expecting some changes to have been made, you'll have a good time with it. It's not perfect, but neither is that part of OP in the manga or the anime. And, it did what it set out to do, it got a lot more people into One Piece, which makes me really happy! Also, I think a lot of people are forgetting just how not great some of those early arcs are in the manga. 90% of the stuff they cut, I'm glad they got rid of, tbh.
I was thinking the same thing but you were able to articulate it far better than I could. I known a lot about about one piece from friends but never actually read/watched very far into it but after watching the live action I am more excited than ever to start it
100 percent. The amount of people who have been exposed to One Piece and are now reading the manga or watching the anime is way more then you'd think. And they tend to prefer the changes when going off to read the manga(in my limited experience). Plus there's certain aspects that were just truly bad, like 50 percent of Sanji dialogue in the original or a lot of the ways Nami is characterized.
I wanted to say this, but this is just perfect in what I want to say. I would argue that this is more of a problem with the anime community where they just straight up ignore amazing manga because they find anime to be a superior medium and will watch an adaptation that’s not as good as the source material, but they will say it’s better because it has “emotion” which is apparently impossible in manga because they only way for someone to emotionally connect with a character is with music. Although the Hunter x Hunter manga is far superior to the anime, people still have this idea that the anime is better due to the “anime adaptation bias.”
Your comments about One Piece are kinda frustrating to hear, should I feel the same way about Lord of the Rings? Am I disrespecting the original work and the world of book culture? The same thing kinda goes for anime vs manga, there are tons of bad adaptations and I'd say One Piece is a pretty mid adaptation, especially with how they drag out the episodes. This One Piece live-action does a pretty good job at including most of the quality story beats and is far from tasteless by how well the story all still clicks together. It isn't perfect and has hyperpacing but again with the comparison to Lord of the Rings, I can enjoy both the theatrical release and the extended versions equally. (The book still exists for another fresh experience). Also, I eventually read the books, I would never have read Lord of the Rings if it weren't for the movies.
Using Demon Slayer footage to point out how Vinland Saga goes against standard tropes to tell an actually interesting story, a woman after my own heart 👌
First, weren't you the guy who said Vinland Saga got boring after the thorfinn stopped killing people? I won't Go into it since it may not have been your opinion but ignoring the personal growth of a character just for more fights would be hypocritical of you to say. Second, just because a show doesn't have a complex analysis of the human psyche doesn't make it bad, a character doesn't need to be realistic in order to be good, if you personally find that interesting then that's fine but that would be a personal opinion rather than an objective critique of a show.
tbh i own all the published manga volumes for oshi no ko and am still reading it online rn, as well as finishing season one of the anime and i agree with you. it will forever be my favorite manga, just not anime. im not sure how or why its my favorite manga but idek. anyways i loved ur opinions!!
Lol I’m 5 minutes in and already inclined to disagree. I’m gonna try to argue this in good taste cause I really enjoy the channel. The One Piece live action is not a Walmart version of the original. Anyone that says they don’t want to watch an anime cause it’s an anime is making a really dumb point, but the one piece anime is really inaccessible. The first season is 80 episodes long! Even if all of those 80 episodes were master classes in story telling, your time on earth is limited having a condensed version of that story that captures that spirit of the original manga has 100% merit. Even most one piece fans say to read the manga over the anime. It’s not a case of it having no value because it’s animation it’s more so it’s just not the best presentation of the story. Although I do 100% agree animation has to be respected more as a medium but that’s a greater issue in the world of entertainment While I’m sure he’s a nice person I think Jackisboy is making a really really dumb point. Oda was heavily involved in the making of the show. The show did manage to be over the top, funny, and filled with a lot of heart and still be able to be a drama. Did it do this perfectly? Hell no but it captured the spirit well and was clearly made with so much love and passion. Having a live action does just replace the og. With an adaption it doesn’t mean you have to start picking sides on which one you enjoy, you can ofc enjoy all three major ways the story is told! I didn’t care about one piece but watching the show made me go back and reread the manga and occasionally watch an anime episode of moments I liked. That has merit! If I were forced to watch the show only through the anime I would’ve never gotten past episode 5.
I completely disagree with the one piece live adaption take. I think live adaption can respect the original source material (ie the manga) if they take their time with it, care about the casting, give it the budget it deserves and actually try to make it good. So often live action adaptions are rushed, sloppy, and poorly executed. LIVE ACTION CAN BE GOOD and I genuinely think if you're open minded to it, you can appreciate it
Storys are gonna be retold again and again and it is what makes them eternal. Unforgotten. You would have no Anime if you would go for the "perfect" One Piece experience because why create the anime the manga version is already perfect. Especially in One Pieces case that holds true from beginning to end. I love the anime a lot but the pacing is poor sometimes and as soon as you get on the Grand Line it just becomes worse and worse with Dress Rosa at its Peak. But it also brings a lot of fillery stuff that just works, even a whole arc and I am glad it got included. At the same time I am happy we are getting The One Piece now as a hopefully more "true" Adaption of the manga. The LA sometimes is not as good as the anime but sometimes it outshines it a bit. And what are you talking about. Its a really fun and whacky show. Adaptions are always interpretations and so will be The One Piece. Its a translation. And as translations are always interpretations so will adaptions and that would hold true if the author himself would create the adaption himself without any outside help. And that can be great. Amazing even. The LA is good, maybe even great in my opinion. It lacks in certain regards, some deeply hurt (my poor boy Usopp) but it brings the joy of the One Piece to a whole new audience as will The One Piece. And thats just perfect.
I took that personally, when talking about Mappa, there is used fragment of Vinland Saga, but from the first season, when the production was still in Wit Studio. T - T
Finally somebody who likes the cgi in Beastars! While it’s definitely not perfect, that show proved to me that cg in anime CAN look good, as long as it’s used properly.
Personally I would watch a battle Shonen if the don’t only focus on flashy fight scenes but also on stories and characters. Which is unfortunately not the case for JJK so that’s why I watched 20 episodes of it and got bored
In my opinion, if the anime has a strong story and realistic and well-written characters, the anime will be great, regardless of the quality of production. Also, a wise person once said: " You as a true fan of anime, you will not focus too much on the quality of the drawing or animation... except only in ecchi anime. "
I don't agree, anime is a visual media. Story and round characters aren't enough. Media lives off of its portrayal. A film needs good actors, a book good writing style and anime good animations. The visual, the music, voice acting add to the experience as they add perspective, creativity, symbolism, asthetic. You can clearly see where vision and passion is, also I think its ungrateful towards the animators who work so hard to "breathe life into" the those stories and characters.
nah you LOST me with the Fairy Tail take. I also read it all and loved it when I was younger but my last memory of it was just finishing it because I was already at the final arc.
You had me until you started throwing the OnK shade lol. I think it did a great job balancing all its various plot points and set ups. I think the main criticism it receives is because of it doing a lot of setup, but not much pay-off, outside of Kana's arc. I don't think it fumbled at all, it just needs more episodes to prove itself and depending on how much faith you have in the story will determine whether you love S1 or not.
I have 5 mates who r currently around skypiea- alabasta who previously either refused to watch one piece or anime in general, and one of them is even reading manga instead, and bought some berserk volumes as his next series. I have 5 more mates I can share these worlds with now. The LA was a good thing.
The characters in JJK may not be super deep but they’re extremely fun to follow. I wouldn’t call the characters hollow, either. While it’s not a ton of substance, they have just enough substance for me to be interested in the characters. And as a person who’s caught up with the manga, there are some pretty interesting character developments that happen. Nothing super boundary pushing but I don’t think everything needs to be boundary pushing. I’m actually a pretty big JJK fan but I can admit that it’s a bit overhyped. I think our standard for Shonen is so low that JJK seems amazing in comparison. So while I think JJK is really damn good, it’s not mind blowing or anything like that. I’m very interested to see what Gege plans to do after JJK though
I'm a girl but to be honest i never really could care less about fanservice. I dont watch any shows in the Ecchi genre cause thats personally not my cup of tea (There are some shows that are an exception though like Rosario + Vampire) but when I see it in other shows like One Piece I dont really think its that bad. Like yeah, it can get annoying sometimes when its "Over used" or presented on younger girls (Like Rebecca) But in the end my point is that at the end of the day its something thats always been around whether we like it or not, and not just in anime like you mentioned. I know its not a good thing, but in my opinion its also not a bad thing and sometimes I enjoy seeing them melons too.
But, anime is an adaptation of manga. If anime is perfect, how can all adaptations be works that inherently doesn’t respect their original medium? Would that not render anime itself disrespectful towards manga and therefore imperfect?
I agree with most the points except the one piece point I think the live action was the best it could have been ever especially since oda organized it. And no jjk actually does have character depth but it really mostly unfolds later in the story.
The Live Action One Piece opinion i think is a growing up or watching it early in your journey kinda of opinion. As someone who didnt start One Piece till i was over a decade into anime at the behest of a friend with a whole group of people similar to me none of us connected with it till Arlong Park. Even then we immediately unconnected till Croc in Alabasta. With the Live Action it fixed so many problems i had with East Blue, mainly the complete lack of any serious tension, knowing that Luffy is gonna just molly wop everyone at the end of ep. Plus theres so much more anime cringe(pervy humor,tension destroying gags, etc...) then most people remember(including our diehard OP fan friend). Idk theres a reason Dads who grew up watching One Piece with their kids love it, its way easier to connect to as an adult then the original series ever was. Also just so everyone knows not a OP hater, i really dig the manga but i do think there's a metric ton of things fans like to ignore about it.
Nahh this is where you are wrong. The la didn't fix anything more like week of villian style story and luffy crew slowly growing upwards is too much for anyone who is used to current style fast paced anime having difficulty adjusting. A lot of East blue which is technically the weakest of all seas we have Luffy winning with his efforts, which brings sabaody when you are introduced to a bigger pool a low for Luffy when he lost his crew so much more impactful. For a long running series this is essential, and oda did great by not introducing Luffy as an underdog and showing he has a good headstart. Syrup Village, cocoyashi was very cut down in opla for it's own reasons but it did loose impact. And opla did tether the crew with lot more tension that doesn't happen till Ennies lobby. It's amazing for old and new fans who want to check out the manga.
I don’t get people who don’t get into One Piece until Arlong Park. It’s strong from the beginning as it is very fun and charming. I think the manga has a stronger beginning, but I still don’t understand it.
@@thomasffrench3639same here, I like the series since episode 1 because of Luffy goofiness, just because we are adult doesn't mean all shows have to always be so dark.
well I kinda with your one piece live action opinion but here is what I think [ No hate just sharing my anime opinion] well The one piece live action is a good thing for people if they want their friends to watch one piece or even give it a chance. I think if a non-anime fan watches the live action and gets into it then they could be convinced to watch the animated one, or maybe give it a chance. But overall the live action is good and it is fun to watch for both anime and non-anime fans, I know it can't be just like the anime because anime is anime and nothing is at the same level with it. and also no matter how much you try nothing is gonna be as the same level as one piece. Period. Also wanted to say that I love your videos and you deserve to be more popular, also you are brave.
Anime over live action adaptation all the way. But I have two arguments. Number 1. There are really good adaptations, but why talk about OldBoy, Battle Angel Alita or Edge of Tomorrow, if we can beat Dragonball for the billionth time. And hay, Japan already did Death Note LA, and it is good. Not anime, but worth watching. Number 2. We have amazing Fantasy and Sci-fi adaptation. And hey, I like books. I read a lot of them especially as a teen. But if there was no Game of Thrones by HBO, I wouldn't know about GRR Martin's books. If OPLA will lead people read manga, awesome. If they just stay with OPLA, great too. Better than no One Piece in life at all.
It wouldn't be an inyaku video without Complaining about fanservice with dumb takes and unironically saying thay highschool DxD is good despite it also Sexualizing minors LMAO
Baffling that you would say such harsh words of adaptations and not aknowledge the original medium of One Piece, which is manga and not animation. The anime is an adaptation of the manga, just like the live action...
MAPPA is literally just taking all of the popular manga and making adaptations of it. I wouldn’t give as much credit to MAPPA as you would. They also made a very divisive Chainsaw Man adaptation
i love anime, and i watched pieces of the alabasta arc way back in the day in high school when it played on adult swim- but i never got into one piece extensively because my focus was on naruto and bleach at the time more. as i got older, focusing on anything became way more difficult and the more that got added to one piece, the more daunting a thought it became to start, and i never did. coming into the live action for me was a chance to dip my toes into the series without making the full commitment, and this is as someone who does love and appreciate animation as an artform; i get the sentiment and can usually agree, i can say that both my tiktok and tumblr spheres are full of people who watched the live action and felt inspired to start the manga or anime. i don't think i saw the same thing happen with the netflix death note or battle angel alita- or if it did, it wasn't to the scale it's at now. live action adaptations absolutely *can* be bad for animation- but i don't think it has to be. the original japanese death note live action is still one of my favorites, but it didn't detract from the original manga- or anime- either.
I do find lots of fun in shipping characters with others. however, some (NOT ALL, but some) people need to kept behind closed doors when it comes to shipping aka the small, but loud minority that gets attention from varying sides of the internet and ruins it for everyone else trying to have harmless fun.
I feel like people don't know what that means. Guys that look like human pretzels flexing isn't fanservice, that's just a power fantasy. An actual example of fanservice is in the currently airing Zom 100.
I do have some unpopular, but honest opinions: 1) Elfen Lied is a masterpiece of storytelling with perfect ending. 2) Domestic Girlfriend is actually a good anime, it is hated for no reason. 3) The animation in Aku no Hana (Flowers of Evil) is weird, but it fits, which means it's good.
Domestic GF is hard to relate to. So when we watch it, we struggle to understand why the characters are doing these things. It's like when you watch a Horror movie and the characters all split off and die in stupid ways. Its hard to really enjoy it when they keep making dumb drawn out decisions
@@shockmethodx It's hard for me to remember what was in the anime and what was only in the manga, so yeah, it's kind of enough. But I would like the anime to be completed. It just deserves it.
I think there is two type of fan service. Sexual and non sexual. the non sexual fan service is usually missed unless it a trope. In action anime it drawn out fight scenes. Martian Successor Nadesico is fan sevicely in the non sexual kind which take good knowledge of fans Mecha anime.
Live action can still be over the top. Just look at the movie adaptations of Sin City and Scott Pilgrim Not defending Netflix's One Piece though, that thing looks 100% bland and lifeless. Just saying that they could have made a live action version that kept the spirit of the original work
Thank you. I’m sick of people treating anime like the default, when the manga should be the default, because it’s the original. I would say I prefer the One Piece live action adaptation over the anime one, because it actually adapts to the film medium very well unlike the anime does.
Obviously, as I am not the guy who wrote the "isekai is pointless" I cannot say that the following is what the OP meant. Still, I think what the statement tries to convey is that isekais feel like studios come up with a fantasy setting and in order to make the story more relatable/ride the isekai hype train, they just transport a generic weeb to an epic fantastical land. Often the stories the fail to do something meaningful with the fact that the character got reincarnated. An example, perhaps a controversial one, is Oshi No Ko. See, the kids are reincarnated but other than it being a reason to explain why the kids are so gifted/smart, the story would play out the same without the rebirth if the writer would just have used exaggerated giftedness as the reason why the kids are so smart. Yes, I know that the girl has the emotional aspect of having been sick and now she has a second chance to live her dream, but the guy though? He sorely lacks an interesting reason to have been reborn.
Wow I really did hate them. Clicked on this because the THUMBNAIL had some interesting views, but not the video 💀 Clickbait? Anyways, dont keep this up and make some better takes in the future 👍
I love hearing the opinions of others about anime. When its reasonable. Also, yes. I did use to be like why are they making girls like that in anime. Then after a year, i realized that its either i take ut or leave it because people who make anime girls sexualized and people who enjoy watching them are weird.
@@mysmallnoman I know, all genres of anime has its good and bad ones. And I'm not just talking about sexualization of girls in shonen. In all genres in general.
sorry but ur jjk take is soooo off base. it's fine if you watch it for the action but it feels very reductive to just say that that's all the show is while ignoring the character and thematic work
I was surprised that she said that there's no emotional goal or mystery for yuji, when that's objectively incorrect. Without spoiling anything, from the start we've always known that yujis main goal is to have a meaningful death. Throughout season 1, he's trying to figure out how to achieve that goal. Yuji at first felt burdened by his grandfather's last words, viewing them as a curse. The jujutsu academy vice principal even challenges yujis ideals, and the flaws with them. Throughout season 1, yujis character is consistently getting challenged and picked apart. His altruism, his morality, and just his overall naive world view. Mahito being the antithesis to everything that yuji stands for, leading to a compelling mystery of how much of yujis humanity will be left once he confronts mahito. I can go on and on about the solid character writing in jjk season 1, megumis arc of learning how to stop devaluing himself in a fight, that he should start being far more selfish, and that he should stop holding back due to him over thinking. His questionable morality getting explored, was also something within season 1 as well. Nobara being a representation of what jujutsu sorcerers are supposed to be, and how that's shown within the season 1 finale, during her and yujis fight against the cursed brothers. I know that it's easy to get caught up in the fight scenes and impressive animation in jjk, but you can't sit up here and say that there's no real in depth character writing present in jjk man c'mon. My advice to people like inakyu, is to try and look beyond the surface, and that just goes with everything in life.
@@Thatman615 yeah and i think that the general discourse surrounding jjk season 1 doesnt help either, it's often reduced to a "barebones shonen done well" and "cool action scenes" even though it subverts a lot of tropes and explores themes in ways i havent seen in many other shonen anime/manga
@@yeah2646 The entire "bare bones shonen done well" thing is a non argument, that's fundamentaly flawed to begin with. Those people that you mentioned are just projecting what they think jjk is, onto the series. This leads them into saying objectively incorrect things like "yuji doesn't develop" or, "yuji has no goals." Yuji has been changing throughout the entirety of season 1, and those of us that paid attention, know that yuji has a very personal and emotional goal. Just because those people missed the obvious less than subtle details about his character writing, doesn't mean that it's non existent.
I'm always intrigued to see how many takes I agree and disagree with when watching these vids. I fuck with all your takes, dude! For the Netflix One Piece....THANK YOU, i feel like such a cynic. I'm glad all my friends who are big fans can enjoy this, but even as someone who's just a passive fan of the show, I'm just so tired of every adaptation watering down the source material. It's boring, but we keep asking for them, like the Disney live action films. And Vinland Saga is a rare kind of anime that leaves me a better person after viewing it. Thank you for speaking the good word on its name 😂 Keep up the vibe content.
Personally I don’t see how the live action watered down a lot especially to the level that Disney does to their movies. Some stuff was cut sure but I’d say overall it worked.
love your video! I totally get the take "respect the medium, we dont need live adaptations" but even in Japan there's plenty live adaptations and even theatre plays
I think your take of jujutsu is wrong because your watch order is wrong. Watch season 2 the first 4, then the movie, then season 1, then finish season 2. Everything clicks, makes sense and feels less like find the mcguffin and more - how do we fix the future when the boomers ruined everything for everyone which makes it SO much of a better story. That and chronological confusing plot points make sense and hit SO much deeper

Unpopular opinion, "one piece live action has the opportunity to fix the number 1 flaw in the original anime. That flaw being it's unbelievably fucked pacing in large part due to Toei's shameless prioritizing of profit over quality". I swear upon the old gods if I hear the Soldier San song one more time imma take an icepick to my eardrums!'. Though in the case of the live action the show runners are doing everything possible to condense it w/o sacrificing the true spirit of the original. Possibly opening the way for an "official" version of One Pace somewhere down the road.
No why do you sound like this about op live action. Like it's not an unpopular opinon. You are not special for speaking how it probably downsized a lot of manga. I'm happy it's a breather, I'm lowkey tired of the lost charm of interactions between characters in op right now with most of it heavy plot based, i forgot how these crew came to be, so what's the point in adapting page to page. I'll agree it's not for new fans but it was fabulous for op only fans to see a cast soo into it. I'm tired of sanji being a pervert and I'm glad the opla is doing better. Even for new fans it's a chance to read the manga or see what's it all about. Adaptations needn't be one on one they can rephrase a lot of things with op manga being so far nearing it's end. A series like op infact can benefit from la because it's already soo big.

I agree about the fact that we don’t need live adaptations. Just let anime be anime for goodness sake. BUT in terms of the one piece one I disagree with the point that it’s been made to look normal and boring… like have you watched it? It’s camp it’s whacky it’s over the top, just like it should be. Sure it doesn’t have bright colours but it still has the madness and flamboyance that captures the soul of OP - or at least it did for me and it brought me a lot of joy ☺️ I don’t think we needed a live action and I won’t cry if it doesn’t get renewed, but I honestly really enjoyed it, it was a way to enjoy characters and a story that I love in a slightly different way and I’m honestly cool w that

@@sonicwithglasses131many do 😂. Folks have literally donated thousands to animators..
7:58 Ok, on the JJK thing. Yuji’s motivation is internal, similar to Bleach’s Ichigo. Yuji simply wants to understand what his grandfather meant by “dying a good death.”
Knowing this, it adds a layer underneath every death Yuji faces (including his own, TWICE) as well as how he interacts with others. On a personal level, the anime started to air around the time my own grandfather died so I immediately hooked onto JJK and Yuji specifically.
Yuji is pretty easy to understand anyway, I feel like she missed some things to have this kind of take on it.
That’s true but to me ichigo is just a little bit more of better realized character than yuji BC bleach has Kiskue, not gojo, if bleach had a gojo, ichigo would have been as useless as yuji most the time😂 i love yuji but man gojo truly screwed him over story wise and fandom wise

I don't think it's that deep with the OP live action. Yes I prefer the original manga story of OP and was disappointed that they reshuffled and cut out a lot of the story in the LA. However, as long as the audience understands that the LA is not a substitute for the original, and the original is still worth checking out as its own piece of literature, I don't think there's anything wrong with the LA existing, and it is still enjoyable for fans and non-fans alike.
I treat it like Harry Potter, the movies are good and can be enjoyed on their own. But if you really want to dive into the story and see everything, its worth watching the anime or reading the manga too yk
Yeah, I can agree with that. OPLA is an adaptation, but so is the anime. There are noted changes there, though not as drastic. I'm so used to the number of adaptations of western works that have been on-going for decades and handled by multiple writers. The iterations, the interpretations, and differences can be a boon for the whole fandom. More One Piece fans isn't a bad thing.
I don't think an adaptation, good or bad, takes anything from the source material as the work exists, as intended, on the page.
I agree, also she said that anime was already perfect but the OP anime is notoriously full of filler and slow pacing😭I think the manga is still the best way to consume one piece, but the live action is doing a pretty good job of getting new people into the series🤷♂️
Yeah unlike anime fans, live action OP fan realize an adaptation is not a substitute for the original work. If only anime fans did that with manga instead of just watching the anime.
I disagree with the live action OP take. Having the live action condense the story makes it more palatable for a lot of people, especially people who might work full time or are generally busy so attempting to watch 1000+ episodes can be a turn off. It's also not a replacement for the anime and manga, infact if a person likes the live action, it could make them eager to hop on to the manga or anime.
fr i dont get this take of “you just don’t respect the medium of animation if you think the live action did it better” like i had the LOWEST hopes of it being good because even tho i’ve never watched an episode of OP i know that translating something from animation into live action, esp something that takes advantage of the animated medium so well is going to be hard, but i think they did it great! i still can’t start the anime or manga bc keeping up with college is already hard as is but from what i’ve heard they cut (stuff like jokes/gags that took away tension from serious moments or filler or general anime pervy things) i would probably not like it as much. also i’ve seen fans say that they’re a little sad that they cut zoro’s personality from being a serious but kinda fun guy to being more serious and taking away most of the fun, just with some drier humour. i mean the dry humour is more my thing as well so there’s that. either way from what i’ve noticed more people are reading the manga and watching the anime than before which i think would be the live action’s end goal so that’s good.
That's fair but I still agree with her take, i think it's kind of too bad seeing what they've done with some characters and how there's always another anime that just has to be remade into a live action, i've liked the one piece one for the most part but it can get a bit old and definitely can get a bit annoying when it comes to ppl constantly comparing them to each other. There are movies that take the arcs and put them into the length of a movie for those interested if watching every episode isn't for you but you'd still like to try it out, but anyway as a big fan of the anime, i still want to say the adaptation is pretty good, but I think it's still missing a lot of key elements that made one piece so special to begin with
Thank you for the Heavenly Delusion shout out, more people need to watch it. Would be stoked if you made a vid about it.
I definetly do not agree with ur jjk take as a manga reader the first season is handsdown the weakest in the series and in terms of plot it keeps things very vauge with few hints to the shibuya incident. But to say the characters arent intresting is definetly a diservice to the show, they might not be the deepest most well written characters but they are fairly well written. We can see itadori’s motivation multiple times when he is joining jujutsu high his motive for saving people is questioned by the principal, he expresses doubt whether yuji can save ppl just cuxpz his grand dad said so, but then yuuji strenghtens his resolve and talks about dying a proper death and also that he would hate not doing smthn to save ppl when he has to means to do it, when he is killed by sukuna we can see he is happy and satisfied as he was able to save megumi and he did not die alone. He has also shown to have a saviour mentality quiet the opposite of megumi, who uses his own sense of justice to help people or let them die. Then there is the relationship between mahito and yuuji, with all this its just disingenuous to say there arent any intresting characters in the show or that the only redeeming quality for the show are its fights
Shit is still vauge in jjk, and almost no interactions to like the character more or to understand the impact the deaths are them... shit i forgot, jjk fans dont care about that, you guy like it being "different" and realistic" and that death is meaningless in jjk and have underdeveloped characters
I think it boils down to things just resonate differently with ppl. For instance many agree that fairy tail is below mid but it has a hardcore fan base regardless. So I doubt she's being disingenuous and more so calling it like she sees it. Honestly, the discussion of wasted potential of certain characters in JJK Intrigues me despite me loving the show in general. Many ppl see all the deaths as justified and perfect but personally I could see flaws in some of them.
i thought it was a good, i really didn't like the JJK0 movie though
Hey, I love all of Oshi no Ko! I love how it mixes all those elements together!
This is the correct take.
Adaptation being a "disrespect" of the original medium is a very bad take 😬. Especially since most of these anime are based on manga, like I can make the same argument you did but now one step deeper.
Anime is usually a 1.1 adaptation of the source material or very close to that. Live action is usually all over the place with changing how the story goes completely like with the cowboy bebop netflix one.
Did you watch one piece live action 😊
what she said about jjk clearly shows that she is an anime only, who just watches it for the fights, while not seeing depth because jjk doesnt throw it in your face
i’m enjoying it sfo far!! let me have my canon event with the shibiuya arc
I am anime only but JJK feels like one of the few shows that actually have really easy to understand characters. Yuji, Megumi, Nobara, Maki, Mechamaru, Gojo, Sukuna, Jogo, Gakuganji are just some characters who you understand in S1 which most shows barely are able to explain the main cast.
What depth ? All i see are headcannons and ghost writters for the characters in JJK, most people in that fandom doesnt even understand gojo or their trash MC
The JJK take is pretty spicy imo. Sorcerers are necessarily the worst kinds of people, so I think focusing on the plot and events keeps the momentum moving forward intentionally. It's like in real life where giving yourself time to think about your situation might bum you out. I don't know if it's deliberate, but I can't think of any major character moments that aren't heartbreaking - I think that's in line with the thesis of the work. Sorcerers are awful people, but they're selfless, so, in a way, I think it makes a lot of sense to sideline character moments in favor of plot until the two overlap.
That might be just me, though. I'm very plot-focused in my own works, so~
I think the fact that you keep centering nuance in your discussions is spilling into your comment section. There are some genuinely thoughtful comments that I feel good about engaging with.
You're such a good RUclipsr.
I’d like to just say JJK’s story evolves a lot as it progresses and the first season doesn’t do justice to the characters unfortunately
i believe it!! im so excited for the rest of s2
The show doesnt do justice to the characters at all lmao
I disagree about your take on the One Piece adaptation. It definitely captures the heart of the anime. The comedy was always going to be the thing that would be hardest to adapt, but its not the only thing that makes One Piece great. I'm glad everyone is liking the show. And I hope they make more seasons.
Quick question, because I've noticed that everyone who likes the show keeps saying this. How did the live action netflix one piece capture the heart of the anime? I'm curious to read your answer to why you say that.
@@Thatman615 The sense of adventure is there. The strawhats are all very well casted. Set pieces are excellent. Its faithful in its look, but not exactly a 1:1 recreation, which it shouldn't and can't possibly be.
Sanji is charming and flirty, but not overbearingly so. Zoro is definitely more edgy and deadpan than simple. Luffy is perfect in the sense that he's optimistic and childish but not so simple minded where the characters comes off dumb.
@@redmangoose182 When you say that the sense of adventure is there, and that the set pieces are excellent, what specifically do you mean by that? I personally disagree with your point about the casting for the most part, as I didn't really mind Taz as sanji. He seems to have the most potential as an actor out of all of the strawhat crew actors. I personally didn't buy inaki as luffy, or makinu as zoro.
My main issue with luffy, was that his more angry, serious, and stern side wasn't captured well at all. As we all know, that is who luffy truly is deep down beyond all of the smiling, laughing, and joking. He becomes a violent and fierce force of nature, during an intense situation. When inaki tried to bring out that side of his luffy, he sounded stilted and awkward, almost like he wasn't comfortable. After the luffy help me scene, when inakis luffy said "let's go" it sounded really forced and awkward. This happened during the arlong fight with several lines. When he said "Nami isn't some tool to be used!" that line didn't sound natural at all, his tone came off really unnatural and stiff. I'm not sure if this was inakis fault, or if it was the directors fault that he sounded really unnatural during so many scenes. I personally think that it was a mixture of both. Even during luffys light hearted moments, he just didn't work or feel like luffy at all to me. Besides, there's more to luffy than just his joyful side, which is all I kept hearing about during the behind the scenes videos from the production crew, they predominantly kept talking about one side of the character, his joyful side.
As for zoro, there wasn't a proper balance of him being stoic and laid back at all. I don't know if people remember, but in east blue, zoro was a pretty laid back aloof kind of guy, similar to luffy. He wasn't just deadpan serious and stoic one-hundred percent of the time, like he is in the live action. The're a few exceptions when he may crack a one liner, like when he insulted helmepos hair. But, it's rare that I see zoros more humorous side come out in the live action adaptation. Gags with him having a poor sense of direction would've translated just fine into the show. I'm not sure why they decided to make zoro overly serious, but I wasn't buying makinu as zoro at all. I especially didn't buy his weak acting. His vow to never lose again speech, sounded more like a yelp than a passionate crying out of the soul. One piece is all about moments like those, and the live action failed to create its own impact with that particular scene. It was incredibly disappointing.
I also have issues with emily rudds weak acting, and the actor for usopp having even worse acting. But anyway, that's all I had to say for now. There were a few things that I liked about the one piece live action, but I largely didn't enjoy it at all. I couldn't help but fall asleep at times while watching it. Forcing me to go back and rewatch what I had missed. I'll admit that the adaptation made me more grateful for the manga and the anime though.
@deeznut4775 What're you talking about? who said anything about the one piece live action needing to be entirely one to one? especially in luffys case when it comes to his humorous side, which I never said needed to happen. Did you read my whole comment? I'm genuinely curious.
@deeznut4775 I'm not exactly sure if oda has the authority to do that, considering the fact that there may've been contracts that he signed. Also, I believe that season 2 has already been green lit. I'm not sure what made you think that the one piece live action would get canceled after one season, especially after all of the positive reception its been getting.

When I first heart of the live action one piece and saw the trailer, I was skeptical for all the reasons that you mentioned.
But when I actually watched it, I saw a good quality Netflix show with beautiful sets, attention to detail, lots of Easter eggs and a lot of heart.
This show was made with love and it shows.
I agree that compressing 50+ episodes of a show into just 8 is not ideal, but look at what they managed to do with it. I would say that what they did is in and of itself a huge accomplishment, adapting one of the most unadaptable Manga out there into a good quality live action that delivers on the emotions.
The chemistry of the strawman crew closely mirrored that of the anime while not making the live action too campy but still retaining some of the goofiness and most of the heart that the show is known for.
As far as the "adaptations are necessary coz people don't respect the source material" comment is concerned, I would say that different adaptations have different things to offer. In my opinion, the manga covers some arcs better whereas the anime does some others better.
The Live action One Piece is good enough to stand on it's own two legs as a worthy adaptation of One piece. Sure there are flaws in it, but you're telling me the original source material is flawless?
Sometimes, giving people the story in a medium that is more digestible to them eventually takes them to or warms them up to the source material. For me, I started off with the anime and then started to read the manga.
So yeah, I get what you are saying, but I feel like the one piece live action isn't as bad as some superfans think ( I am one myself) and that it was made and brought to life by people who really love and care about the source material.
"beautiful sets, attention to detail, lots of Easter eggs and a lot of heart."
this is the problem with the live-action. they focused more on these aspects and seemed to forget that oda is one of the best writers of our time and that his characters are extremely well-written and complex. they should have spent less time on easter eggs and recreations of iconic moments, and spent more time on character writing and thinking about WHY those moments are impactful. sanji's goodbye scene feels incredibly lackluster in the live-action because they literally cut out his character defining moments leading up to that moment. they even cut the main villain and fight of the arc which was the main reason sanji got inspired to join luffy and chase after his dream. they also changed his personality completely but i won't get into that. and people keep making excuses for this show "they only had 8 episodes". that's not the problem. the problem is the wrote with plot in mind, not the characters. just look at what they did with usopp. he was completely sidelined despite being a main character, and koby got more screentime and development than him.
the thing is, the creators being one piece fans is not a guarantee for a good show. you know, there are thousands of fanfictions about one piece, all written by fans, but most of them won't be "great". but every now and then, there's a fanfic that feels like it was written by oda, where the characters feel like themselves. knowing and understanding the characters is one thing, but actually writing them and putting them in new situations while still keeping them in-character? that's a skill. a skill i don't think these live-action writers have if i'm being honest.

I think they spent the right amount of time on character writing and making the audience realize why the impactful moments are impactful.
I never said that being fans of the show equals them producing a good show. I personally feel like the showrunners managed to succeed in putting the characters in different situations and making them feel like the original characters of the manga, and I have mentioned in the comments why I think the creators DO have that skill.
If you want them to do everything you said, you need to give them unlimited money and unlimited time. Plus in this case, even the actors are humans who age. Taking all this into consideration, they did a spectacular job.
Every person that I've seen who dislikes the live action is unique in what they dislike about the show. As showrunners, you can't satisfy everyone.
But they did satisfy me and lots of other long time fans of the show, enough to make most people calim that the one piece live action show broke the live action curse.
If you disliked it, I am sorry my friend, but I loved it. Most people who saw it loved it. Here's the fun part tho, you still can enjoy the anime and manga and let the people who enjoy the live action enjoy it coz for me, the things that they get right outweigh it's flaws by a lot.
Live and let live right?
Great video! For the JJK take I get it. It’s really hard to get a read on the characters early on and for me at least things only clicked into place after season 2. Like I enjoyed season 1 but season 2 (and subsequent manga reading) is when I fell in love with it.
And for the dubs take I agree. I get why people would say that dubs use to to be bad but that’s not true anymore. I think they forget that there are a lot of people who need dubs to be able to enjoy anime at all. (People vision impairments, dyslexia, ADHD, etc). On another note, I’m not sure how much better of an experience you get watching subs vs dubs anyway. Most of the interesting nuances are lost just through the act of translating anyway so is there really a big difference between reading the subtitles( direct translation) and listening to the dub performance (which leans more towards the spirt of the translation). It’s also probably difficult to tell if the Japanese version is good or not since you don’t speak that language. I’ve been learning Japanese for a bit and I still find it difficult to recognize smaller emotions off of voice alone. (The might be a me problem though). Those are just my thoughts though and I may be wrong. Anyway my point is that it’s just a preference and dubs can be good. 😅 I watch both if I like a show enough. It’s fun to compare them.
Definitely need that Heavenly Delusion video
I think the idea that live actions are made because people 'refuse to respect the medium it's already in' is just a super bad faith take. It's also something that very rarely gets said about other kinds of adaptations. Like most animes are themselves adaptations (of manga, or light novels, or video games, etc.) and I know we get a lot of 'the manga was better' people, but the majority of people aren't out here talking bad about them just for existing. And they can exist for a variety of reasons, sometimes to get a bigger audience /for/ the source material, or because someone making the adaptation really loves the original and wants to see it in a new medium, or because they think it's a story that would work well/better in said different medium. These are all good reasons for an adaptation to be made.
With OPLA, yes they changed things, but that show is still undoubtedly One Piece. So many things the characters say feel so authentically them. I think if you go into the show, expecting some changes to have been made, you'll have a good time with it. It's not perfect, but neither is that part of OP in the manga or the anime. And, it did what it set out to do, it got a lot more people into One Piece, which makes me really happy!
Also, I think a lot of people are forgetting just how not great some of those early arcs are in the manga. 90% of the stuff they cut, I'm glad they got rid of, tbh.
I was thinking the same thing but you were able to articulate it far better than I could.
I known a lot about about one piece from friends but never actually read/watched very far into it but after watching the live action I am more excited than ever to start it
100 percent. The amount of people who have been exposed to One Piece and are now reading the manga or watching the anime is way more then you'd think. And they tend to prefer the changes when going off to read the manga(in my limited experience). Plus there's certain aspects that were just truly bad, like 50 percent of Sanji dialogue in the original or a lot of the ways Nami is characterized.
I wanted to say this, but this is just perfect in what I want to say. I would argue that this is more of a problem with the anime community where they just straight up ignore amazing manga because they find anime to be a superior medium and will watch an adaptation that’s not as good as the source material, but they will say it’s better because it has “emotion” which is apparently impossible in manga because they only way for someone to emotionally connect with a character is with music. Although the Hunter x Hunter manga is far superior to the anime, people still have this idea that the anime is better due to the “anime adaptation bias.”
Your comments about One Piece are kinda frustrating to hear, should I feel the same way about Lord of the Rings? Am I disrespecting the original work and the world of book culture?
The same thing kinda goes for anime vs manga, there are tons of bad adaptations and I'd say One Piece is a pretty mid adaptation, especially with how they drag out the episodes.
This One Piece live-action does a pretty good job at including most of the quality story beats and is far from tasteless by how well the story all still clicks together. It isn't perfect and has hyperpacing but again with the comparison to Lord of the Rings, I can enjoy both the theatrical release and the extended versions equally. (The book still exists for another fresh experience).
Also, I eventually read the books, I would never have read Lord of the Rings if it weren't for the movies.
THE I'M SO SICK CINDERELLAxJJK EDIT WENT HARD!!
Using Demon Slayer footage to point out how Vinland Saga goes against standard tropes to tell an actually interesting story, a woman after my own heart 👌
First, weren't you the guy who said Vinland Saga got boring after the thorfinn stopped killing people? I won't Go into it since it may not have been your opinion but ignoring the personal growth of a character just for more fights would be hypocritical of you to say.
Second, just because a show doesn't have a complex analysis of the human psyche doesn't make it bad, a character doesn't need to be realistic in order to be good, if you personally find that interesting then that's fine but that would be a personal opinion rather than an objective critique of a show.
@@cheesehampoetry I was quoting someone else about Vinland Saga. That isn't my opinion and I think it's a horrible take.
@@CaptainMackhell no, thats a good take, wtf is i have no enimeis ?
tbh i own all the published manga volumes for oshi no ko and am still reading it online rn, as well as finishing season one of the anime and i agree with you. it will forever be my favorite manga, just not anime. im not sure how or why its my favorite manga but idek. anyways i loved ur opinions!!
Its cause it doesnt have enough episodes yet lol. The anime ended S1 with like 8 different loose ends and a tease for S2
Lol I’m 5 minutes in and already inclined to disagree. I’m gonna try to argue this in good taste cause I really enjoy the channel.
The One Piece live action is not a Walmart version of the original. Anyone that says they don’t want to watch an anime cause it’s an anime is making a really dumb point, but the one piece anime is really inaccessible.
The first season is 80 episodes long! Even if all of those 80 episodes were master classes in story telling, your time on earth is limited having a condensed version of that story that captures that spirit of the original manga has 100% merit. Even most one piece fans say to read the manga over the anime. It’s not a case of it having no value because it’s animation it’s more so it’s just not the best presentation of the story. Although I do 100% agree animation has to be respected more as a medium but that’s a greater issue in the world of entertainment
While I’m sure he’s a nice person I think Jackisboy is making a really really dumb point. Oda was heavily involved in the making of the show. The show did manage to be over the top, funny, and filled with a lot of heart and still be able to be a drama. Did it do this perfectly? Hell no but it captured the spirit well and was clearly made with so much love and passion. Having a live action does just replace the og.
With an adaption it doesn’t mean you have to start picking sides on which one you enjoy, you can ofc enjoy all three major ways the story is told! I didn’t care about one piece but watching the show made me go back and reread the manga and occasionally watch an anime episode of moments I liked. That has merit! If I were forced to watch the show only through the anime I would’ve never gotten past episode 5.
I completely disagree with the one piece live adaption take. I think live adaption can respect the original source material (ie the manga) if they take their time with it, care about the casting, give it the budget it deserves and actually try to make it good. So often live action adaptions are rushed, sloppy, and poorly executed. LIVE ACTION CAN BE GOOD and I genuinely think if you're open minded to it, you can appreciate it
"You probably don't wash your hands" damn
I love the fan service in Promare (big robots and gurren Lagann references)
Live Adaptation of Anime is mostly trash.
Storys are gonna be retold again and again and it is what makes them eternal. Unforgotten. You would have no Anime if you would go for the "perfect" One Piece experience because why create the anime the manga version is already perfect. Especially in One Pieces case that holds true from beginning to end. I love the anime a lot but the pacing is poor sometimes and as soon as you get on the Grand Line it just becomes worse and worse with Dress Rosa at its Peak. But it also brings a lot of fillery stuff that just works, even a whole arc and I am glad it got included. At the same time I am happy we are getting The One Piece now as a hopefully more "true" Adaption of the manga. The LA sometimes is not as good as the anime but sometimes it outshines it a bit. And what are you talking about. Its a really fun and whacky show. Adaptions are always interpretations and so will be The One Piece. Its a translation. And as translations are always interpretations so will adaptions and that would hold true if the author himself would create the adaption himself without any outside help. And that can be great. Amazing even. The LA is good, maybe even great in my opinion. It lacks in certain regards, some deeply hurt (my poor boy Usopp) but it brings the joy of the One Piece to a whole new audience as will The One Piece. And thats just perfect.
Unpopular opinion. I think one piece live action is a more approachable way to experience one pieces first arc
I took that personally, when talking about Mappa, there is used fragment of Vinland Saga, but from the first season, when the production was still in Wit Studio. T - T
Finally somebody who likes the cgi in Beastars! While it’s definitely not perfect, that show proved to me that cg in anime CAN look good, as long as it’s used properly.
Personally I would watch a battle Shonen if the don’t only focus on flashy fight scenes but also on stories and characters. Which is unfortunately not the case for JJK so that’s why I watched 20 episodes of it and got bored
In my opinion, if the anime has a strong story and realistic and well-written characters, the anime will be great, regardless of the quality of production. Also, a wise person once said:
" You as a true fan of anime, you will not focus too much on the quality of the drawing or animation... except only in ecchi anime. "
I don't agree, anime is a visual media. Story and round characters aren't enough. Media lives off of its portrayal. A film needs good actors, a book good writing style and anime good animations. The visual, the music, voice acting add to the experience as they add perspective, creativity, symbolism, asthetic. You can clearly see where vision and passion is, also I think its ungrateful towards the animators who work so hard to "breathe life into" the those stories and characters.
nah you LOST me with the Fairy Tail take. I also read it all and loved it when I was younger but my last memory of it was just finishing it because I was already at the final arc.
Truly unpopular opinions especially the OP and JJK ones
You had me until you started throwing the OnK shade lol. I think it did a great job balancing all its various plot points and set ups. I think the main criticism it receives is because of it doing a lot of setup, but not much pay-off, outside of Kana's arc. I don't think it fumbled at all, it just needs more episodes to prove itself and depending on how much faith you have in the story will determine whether you love S1 or not.
I have 5 mates who r currently around skypiea- alabasta who previously either refused to watch one piece or anime in general, and one of them is even reading manga instead, and bought some berserk volumes as his next series. I have 5 more mates I can share these worlds with now. The LA was a good thing.
The characters in JJK may not be super deep but they’re extremely fun to follow. I wouldn’t call the characters hollow, either. While it’s not a ton of substance, they have just enough substance for me to be interested in the characters. And as a person who’s caught up with the manga, there are some pretty interesting character developments that happen. Nothing super boundary pushing but I don’t think everything needs to be boundary pushing. I’m actually a pretty big JJK fan but I can admit that it’s a bit overhyped. I think our standard for Shonen is so low that JJK seems amazing in comparison. So while I think JJK is really damn good, it’s not mind blowing or anything like that. I’m very interested to see what Gege plans to do after JJK though
I find it funny how Mack left that comment after making like a 3 hour video about quite the opposite
I thought she was asking for bad anime takes that I've seen. That's definitely not my opinion lol
I'm a girl but to be honest i never really could care less about fanservice. I dont watch any shows in the Ecchi genre cause thats personally not my cup of tea (There are some shows that are an exception though like Rosario + Vampire) but when I see it in other shows like One Piece I dont really think its that bad. Like yeah, it can get annoying sometimes when its "Over used" or presented on younger girls (Like Rebecca) But in the end my point is that at the end of the day its something thats always been around whether we like it or not, and not just in anime like you mentioned. I know its not a good thing, but in my opinion its also not a bad thing and sometimes I enjoy seeing them melons too.

But, anime is an adaptation of manga.
If anime is perfect, how can all adaptations be works that inherently doesn’t respect their original medium? Would that not render anime itself disrespectful towards manga and therefore imperfect?
I agree with most the points except the one piece point I think the live action was the best it could have been ever especially since oda organized it. And no jjk actually does have character depth but it really mostly unfolds later in the story.
Appreciate the heavenly delusion shout out. Thank u inakyu

@@inakyu God bless
The Live Action One Piece opinion i think is a growing up or watching it early in your journey kinda of opinion. As someone who didnt start One Piece till i was over a decade into anime at the behest of a friend with a whole group of people similar to me none of us connected with it till Arlong Park. Even then we immediately unconnected till Croc in Alabasta. With the Live Action it fixed so many problems i had with East Blue, mainly the complete lack of any serious tension, knowing that Luffy is gonna just molly wop everyone at the end of ep. Plus theres so much more anime cringe(pervy humor,tension destroying gags, etc...) then most people remember(including our diehard OP fan friend).
Idk theres a reason Dads who grew up watching One Piece with their kids love it, its way easier to connect to as an adult then the original series ever was.
Also just so everyone knows not a OP hater, i really dig the manga but i do think there's a metric ton of things fans like to ignore about it.
Nahh this is where you are wrong. The la didn't fix anything more like week of villian style story and luffy crew slowly growing upwards is too much for anyone who is used to current style fast paced anime having difficulty adjusting. A lot of East blue which is technically the weakest of all seas we have Luffy winning with his efforts, which brings sabaody when you are introduced to a bigger pool a low for Luffy when he lost his crew so much more impactful. For a long running series this is essential, and oda did great by not introducing Luffy as an underdog and showing he has a good headstart. Syrup Village, cocoyashi was very cut down in opla for it's own reasons but it did loose impact. And opla did tether the crew with lot more tension that doesn't happen till Ennies lobby. It's amazing for old and new fans who want to check out the manga.
I don’t get people who don’t get into One Piece until Arlong Park. It’s strong from the beginning as it is very fun and charming. I think the manga has a stronger beginning, but I still don’t understand it.
@@thomasffrench3639same here, I like the series since episode 1 because of Luffy goofiness, just because we are adult doesn't mean all shows have to always be so dark.

Idc, this type of fanservice is the best
And Hight School DxD is PEAK fiction
well I kinda with your one piece live action opinion but here is what I think [ No hate just sharing my anime opinion] well The one piece live action is a good thing for people if they want their friends to watch one piece or even give it a chance. I think if a non-anime fan watches the live action and gets into it then they could be convinced to watch the animated one, or maybe give it a chance. But overall the live action is good and it is fun to watch for both anime and non-anime fans, I know it can't be just like the anime because anime is anime and nothing is at the same level with it. and also no matter how much you try nothing is gonna be as the same level as one piece. Period.
Also wanted to say that I love your videos and you deserve to be more popular, also you are brave.
One piece is mid in the first place so I can't even imagine what horrors the live action brings.
Anime over live action adaptation all the way. But I have two arguments. Number 1.
There are really good adaptations, but why talk about OldBoy, Battle Angel Alita or Edge of Tomorrow, if we can beat Dragonball for the billionth time. And hay, Japan already did Death Note LA, and it is good. Not anime, but worth watching.
Number 2. We have amazing Fantasy and Sci-fi adaptation. And hey, I like books. I read a lot of them especially as a teen. But if there was no Game of Thrones by HBO, I wouldn't know about GRR Martin's books.
If OPLA will lead people read manga, awesome. If they just stay with OPLA, great too. Better than no One Piece in life at all.
I saw 7 people saw LA and then shift to anime and manga

Baffling that you would say such harsh words of adaptations and not aknowledge the original medium of One Piece, which is manga and not animation. The anime is an adaptation of the manga, just like the live action...
MAPPA is literally just taking all of the popular manga and making adaptations of it. I wouldn’t give as much credit to MAPPA as you would. They also made a very divisive Chainsaw Man adaptation

Hey, I’m the one with the fan service take! And yeah I 100% agree with your response. And CSM and KLK are great examples of fan service done right.
SAO is more influencial dragon ball had me 🤣🤣🤣
i love anime, and i watched pieces of the alabasta arc way back in the day in high school when it played on adult swim- but i never got into one piece extensively because my focus was on naruto and bleach at the time more. as i got older, focusing on anything became way more difficult and the more that got added to one piece, the more daunting a thought it became to start, and i never did. coming into the live action for me was a chance to dip my toes into the series without making the full commitment, and this is as someone who does love and appreciate animation as an artform; i get the sentiment and can usually agree, i can say that both my tiktok and tumblr spheres are full of people who watched the live action and felt inspired to start the manga or anime. i don't think i saw the same thing happen with the netflix death note or battle angel alita- or if it did, it wasn't to the scale it's at now. live action adaptations absolutely *can* be bad for animation- but i don't think it has to be. the original japanese death note live action is still one of my favorites, but it didn't detract from the original manga- or anime- either.
Nice video! I especially like the Disney and JJK part😂👍

I do have some unpopular, but honest opinions:
1) Elfen Lied is a masterpiece of storytelling with perfect ending.
2) Domestic Girlfriend is actually a good anime, it is hated for no reason.
3) The animation in Aku no Hana (Flowers of Evil) is weird, but it fits, which means it's good.
Domestic GF is hard to relate to. So when we watch it, we struggle to understand why the characters are doing these things. It's like when you watch a Horror movie and the characters all split off and die in stupid ways. Its hard to really enjoy it when they keep making dumb drawn out decisions

Live action can still be over the top. Just look at the movie adaptations of Sin City and Scott Pilgrim
Not defending Netflix's One Piece though, that thing looks 100% bland and lifeless. Just saying that they could have made a live action version that kept the spirit of the original work
we turn manga into anime all the time is that disrespecting manga then?
Well, it depends on the adaptation. Promised never land season 2 says hello.
Thank you. I’m sick of people treating anime like the default, when the manga should be the default, because it’s the original. I would say I prefer the One Piece live action adaptation over the anime one, because it actually adapts to the film medium very well unlike the anime does.

Obviously, as I am not the guy who wrote the "isekai is pointless" I cannot say that the following is what the OP meant. Still, I think what the statement tries to convey is that isekais feel like studios come up with a fantasy setting and in order to make the story more relatable/ride the isekai hype train, they just transport a generic weeb to an epic fantastical land. Often the stories the fail to do something meaningful with the fact that the character got reincarnated.
An example, perhaps a controversial one, is Oshi No Ko. See, the kids are reincarnated but other than it being a reason to explain why the kids are so gifted/smart, the story would play out the same without the rebirth if the writer would just have used exaggerated giftedness as the reason why the kids are so smart. Yes, I know that the girl has the emotional aspect of having been sick and now she has a second chance to live her dream, but the guy though? He sorely lacks an interesting reason to have been reborn.

sorry but ur jjk take is soooo off base. it's fine if you watch it for the action but it feels very reductive to just say that that's all the show is while ignoring the character and thematic work
I was surprised that she said that there's no emotional goal or mystery for yuji, when that's objectively incorrect. Without spoiling anything, from the start we've always known that yujis main goal is to have a meaningful death. Throughout season 1, he's trying to figure out how to achieve that goal. Yuji at first felt burdened by his grandfather's last words, viewing them as a curse. The jujutsu academy vice principal even challenges yujis ideals, and the flaws with them. Throughout season 1, yujis character is consistently getting challenged and picked apart. His altruism, his morality, and just his overall naive world view. Mahito being the antithesis to everything that yuji stands for, leading to a compelling mystery of how much of yujis humanity will be left once he confronts mahito.
I can go on and on about the solid character writing in jjk season 1, megumis arc of learning how to stop devaluing himself in a fight, that he should start being far more selfish, and that he should stop holding back due to him over thinking. His questionable morality getting explored, was also something within season 1 as well. Nobara being a representation of what jujutsu sorcerers are supposed to be, and how that's shown within the season 1 finale, during her and yujis fight against the cursed brothers.
I know that it's easy to get caught up in the fight scenes and impressive animation in jjk, but you can't sit up here and say that there's no real in depth character writing present in jjk man c'mon. My advice to people like inakyu, is to try and look beyond the surface, and that just goes with everything in life.
@@Thatman615 yeah and i think that the general discourse surrounding jjk season 1 doesnt help either, it's often reduced to a "barebones shonen done well" and "cool action scenes" even though it subverts a lot of tropes and explores themes in ways i havent seen in many other shonen anime/manga
@@yeah2646 The entire "bare bones shonen done well" thing is a non argument, that's fundamentaly flawed to begin with. Those people that you mentioned are just projecting what they think jjk is, onto the series. This leads them into saying objectively incorrect things like "yuji doesn't develop" or, "yuji has no goals." Yuji has been changing throughout the entirety of season 1, and those of us that paid attention, know that yuji has a very personal and emotional goal. Just because those people missed the obvious less than subtle details about his character writing, doesn't mean that it's non existent.

Unpopular opinion, "one piece live action has the opportunity to fix the number 1 flaw in the original anime. That flaw being it's unbelievably fucked pacing in large part due to Toei's shameless prioritizing of profit over quality". I swear upon the old gods if I hear the Soldier San song one more time imma take an icepick to my eardrums!'. Though in the case of the live action the show runners are doing everything possible to condense it w/o sacrificing the true spirit of the original. Possibly opening the way for an "official" version of One Pace somewhere down the road.

Why are there so many comments trying to claim fan service isn't trashy? Their doing their ecchi anime a disservice denying that truth.
It would be good if we got some equality. More men flashing pecs, abs and butts please!
Farmland Saga peaked.
Disney x JJK ship video when?
No why do you sound like this about op live action.
Like it's not an unpopular opinon. You are not special for speaking how it probably downsized a lot of manga. I'm happy it's a breather, I'm lowkey tired of the lost charm of interactions between characters in op right now with most of it heavy plot based, i forgot how these crew came to be, so what's the point in adapting page to page. I'll agree it's not for new fans but it was fabulous for op only fans to see a cast soo into it.
I'm tired of sanji being a pervert and I'm glad the opla is doing better.
Even for new fans it's a chance to read the manga or see what's it all about. Adaptations needn't be one on one they can rephrase a lot of things with op manga being so far nearing it's end. A series like op infact can benefit from la because it's already soo big.
omg please make a video about heavenly delusion no one watched that except Brazilians
Tbh imo u are 💯 correct in your opinion like no lies were told
Love this video ☺️ There are very few RUclipsrs I follow seriously. And, you’re one of them.this is the kind of content, keep me visiting youtube.You’re working so hard, may all your wishes come true.
I agree about the fact that we don’t need live adaptations. Just let anime be anime for goodness sake.
BUT in terms of the one piece one I disagree with the point that it’s been made to look normal and boring… like have you watched it? It’s camp it’s whacky it’s over the top, just like it should be. Sure it doesn’t have bright colours but it still has the madness and flamboyance that captures the soul of OP - or at least it did for me and it brought me a lot of joy ☺️ I don’t think we needed a live action and I won’t cry if it doesn’t get renewed, but I honestly really enjoyed it, it was a way to enjoy characters and a story that I love in a slightly different way and I’m honestly cool w that
