Yes, I totally pooched the pronunciation of names. Apologies to all offended.
I'm freaking out this very moment.
How dare you, Chato. 😉
It's okay, even the MC Luffy pooched the names of most people he met, and that's part of his charm.
No worries.
It took me a month to correctly pronounce my wife's name.
it helps a lot that the writers, actors, producers actually like the material
The actor for Luffy is a genuine joy to watch on screen. It's like he is living a life long dream and is making the most of it. His enthusiasm for the role is translating well to Luffy's enthusiasm to being the pirate king.
It really shows, I'm not the biggest fan of One Piece but holy crap was this a joy to watch.
Like a fan-made project with studio funding. Because it is a fan-made project, when the credits are filled with fans who are also Hollywood professionals.
Oda had script approval
Exactly I can see Godoy’s love for the character shining through it’s a lot of fun
Chato, I am impressed with your depth of knowledge in the Anime/Manga realm! Happy to know you enjoy such titles! :)
Consider that some going on 50+ where watching bootleg vhs anime 25+ years ago. I’m so glad anime has touched multi generations of fans!
He butcher the names, I don't believe it's his own knowledge. Probably he has a researcher and reading a prompter while talking in front of the video, so it would look like he know what his saying.
@@Dame-Dame-Dame And you are an arrogant prat.
@@Dame-Dame-Dame are you really "fake geek"ing Mr. Chato, of all people? Fuck outta here,
@@exgrinder Well, I'm not quite 50+ yet myself but I do remember those days when I would get my weekly VHS copy of Dragon Ball Z from my local Japanese market and watch the latest episode in its raw Japanese language without subtitles as it aired on Japanese TV. Yes it was awesome to watch but painful at the same time as it was one episode a week. 🤣
I do believe the reason why this has fared better than most live actions. Is because the person who made one piece was pretty much hands on for this live action project. Making sure that the details were right and correct. And also they built physical props for this. Not relying on CGI the whole time. Those transponder snails that they use as telephones. Those are all handmade and real. Probably have some CGI support but that's about it. Also, I love the one piece anime and manga. It's one of my favorites. Because it just has a well built world
I must say, I watch it expecting to hate it and, is pretty good. Is the same as the anime/manga? No, but it captures the core of the story. Some things look weird like Zoro using 3 swords? Yes feels pretty accurate without over doing it. I in general was happy with it. It must be one of the best live-action adaptation Netflix has ever done.
I find the series to be more akin to Dragon Ball Kai, which was Dragon Ball Z but with heavily reduced episodes to focus only on the key plot points. Same here in that the first 66 chapters of the manga or 44+ episodes of the anime were reduced to just 8 60-minute episodes - and they pulled it off very well. Saint Seiya made the same attempt but ended up a disaster.
I would go so far as to say the best anime live action adaptation ever made.
@@person1860 NOt with Kenshin existing, no... Second place still is great, especially coming from netflix
Honestly they did well portraying how 3 swords can work when zoro was fighting Morgan
Yeah actually does seem like everyone involved cares.
I came into One Piece with rock bottom expectations given this was Netflix and I’m happy to say the series was surprisingly good. And it left me wanting a season 2.
Hopeful for Season 2 and beyond. The East Blue saga has just barely scratched the surface of the great wonders and creative masterpieces within the world of One Piece.
I found this life action very charming, as a OP manga fan, and in some scenes, the actors managed to hit me in the feels way harder than they had any right to...
Big shout out to the costume designers, the practical effects people, and the one who made the decision to change up the Going Merry's figurehead, at least a little from the awful first version we were shown. ^^; Thank you. Season 2? I'd be curious to see more perfectly cast OP characters. Really so many were perfectly cast, from their energy and sometimes even physical / facial traits. That was the most impressive thing.
I wonder if they did some subtle cgi adjustments/enhancements to their mouth movement. They seems to be larger and stretches wider across their faces esp. when laughing (may be using the magic of made-up?). Also, Sanji's legs seems to be longer during fight scenes. Overall, the characters just feels right at home, not at odds with the manga. Very enjoyable and entertaining.
Mackenyu is the son of the late Sonny Chiba who if you didn't know was a very famous martial arts actor back in the day. He also played Hatori Hanzo the swordsmith in Kill Bill.
wicked, how does nobody talk about that??
@@der_benson4478 Idk. I haven't seen anyone mention it but he's carrying on his father's legacy of being a martial arts actor. I didn't know who Sonny Chiba was til I bought a special Kill Bill DVD that came with a Sonny Chiba movie as Tarantino referenced him for inspiration when making the film.
@@brianyaniro5086 I had heard the name before (your giving of context was needed though!) I just like the sense of Legacy in the context of adapting one of THE most successful manga. This feels like a project someone like that would attach himself to, and i'm all for it. Zoro was close to flawless in this first season.
@@der_benson4478 Zoro was amazing in this. I mean Mackenyu. Just wish he laughed and emoted a lil more before he lost to Mihawk. Ya know since early on he was a lil more carefree til then. Shame his dad passed away rather recently I think maybe 2 years ago.
It was the Sonny Chiba movie

that Christian Slater and Patricia Arquette’s characters in
True Romance were watching in the cinema when they first meet.
What distinguishes Sonny Chiba say from a Bruce Lee or Jackie Chan, is the level of sheer visceral brutality in a Sonny Chiba film.

Chato, you are 100% right once again. I knew nearly nothing about One Piece, but did enjoy the first episode very much. It felt anime just enough and was very fun - humor, action, ridiculous characters - all present and well done. Even the awkward and over-the-top villains. All good! I'm inclined to watch more.
I agree that Fullmetal Alchemist couldn't possibly tell the full story, but I really enjoyed it. It was purely for the fans and showed the higlight scenes with great detail, and fans can fill in all the story logic themselves. The main actor who played Ed delighted me.
I have only watched two anime adaptations by Netflix. One being disastrous Death Note and the other being One Piece. It was two completely different experiences. Never thought I would be waiting for the next season and here I am.
That pronunciation of Rurouni Kenshin hurts me on a spiritual level... That aside. I agree with everything else you said!
I'm pleased this seems to be on the right track. They've nailed the starting five, but as the series goes on, I'm legitimately intrigued as to how they're going to approach the more... _abstract_ Straw Hat crew members.
Nico Robin is pretty straight forward; Brook could be great if handled like Ryuk in Netflix's _Death Note;_ Chopper could be a brilliant puppet or some Paddington-esque CG (preferably based on his original design), but there's *one in particular* that concerns me most.
How on earth do you make *Franky* - the cola-powered, Popeye-armed, speedo-clad, Ace Ventura-looking, cyborg shipwright - _grounded?_ 😆
Franky pre-time skip is still humanish. Post time skip would be tricky not to make look too fake/cosplay.
@@arugono True on the latter. Pre-Time Skip is what I'm thinking of, but even then all his functions risk being uncanny. I'm just going to patiently wait and see.
I agree with much of your analysis. Luffy brings joy and trust while toning down the dumb a bit. Zoro and Nami "fit" the parts well. The only thing I found hard to swallow was Alvida - she couldn't sell her fighting/combat at all. Luckily that ends pretty quickly. I'm hoping that was an early shot before they figured out battle, like the one in the square, that was enjoyable combat.
I'm glad they made it. I am surprised I'm giving praise to Netflix. I love Bebop, but I couldn't even START their version after the experience of The Witcher.
An insightful, eloquent and precise evaluation sir. Thanks for that.
Nice to know there is a new show worth seeking out.
Thank you kindly
As a longtime fan of the manga, I couldn't be happier with this adaptation, the passion oozes from every frame, I hope it is as enjoyable to people who aren't as familiar with the original as I am.
I went into this live action adaptation after suffering with a horrible adaptation of Wheel of Time and Cowboy Bebop. So, I had very low expectations for One Piece. I was very pleasantly surprised at how good this show was. I think they did a decent job of condensing the East Blue saga down to 8 episodes.
As for my credentials, I'm just a fan. I own all of the English volumes of the manga. I am not a fan of the anime as it starts suffering from the constant releases of episodes and has to slow down the pace so that it doesn't overtake the manga. I only go to the anime for when I want to see special epic moments from the manga. I will continue to go to the anime for that because it is much more faithful to the manga. But the live action is a good way to bring in new viewers, so I'm satisfied. I hope they continue to adapt more seasons.
we desperately need a one piece Kai style of series. I think some fan did it online, maybe need to checkl that out...
One piece is so SO good when it is strong, and I think this series succeeded to translate about 70 % of that rather well... Now on to discussing how they effed up *that* Nami scene towards the end from the get go.... (spoiler, the actress was not at fault, she was the only perfect part in that mess-up)
@@der_benson4478 I believe the fan edit is called One Pace.
I always appreciate Chato’s experience and expertise! He’s the only guy I know on any platform who’s made pilots and had to judge them.
Thanks for pealing back the curtain on the world of TV for us Mr Canoehead!
Apparently Disney should take notes
This producer has more knowledge than all of Twitter combined and has all the humility to show for it
Maybe Netflix is learning. Or at least not interested in loosing more money. Or not.
I really like this live action. It’s the best one. I really love that Oda is working on it! And Matt Owens the head writer is a huge fan. And Nami Emily Rudd is a huge fan also
Rudd also previously had her black belt and knew her way around a bo staff before any of this.
Awesome. I added this to my watch list, but I have not got around to it yet. Excited to do so now! Thanks Chato!
Mr Chato, just came to this video after watching your full review video. I made a comment on that video, but I also wanted to chime in and add one comment to this video of yours: I am pleasantly surprised that you are so versed with regards to manga/anime franchises & IP. Puts a smile on my dial... :)
It's good that the producers learned something from Cowboy Bebop and are applying it with One Piece.
Still don't know if I'd resubscribe to Netlfix for this, though.
I love the love action Rurouni Kenshin movies! I need to see the middle two, but it's near impossible to find them.
I decided to give the first episode a watch yesterday evening. It was 3am and the end of episode 8 before I even knew it.
Started watching this after your recommendation. SO much fun so far! Audacious and simply ...joyful. Thank you for taking the time to watch and offer your review.
Wonderful!
I loved your abysmal mispronuciations of the characters and actors 😂😂
Starting episode 6 now, and I'm THOROUGHLY enjoying the show-- as a non-fan who saw the source material as far too dense to engage with at this point.
I'm surprised to find myself singing Netflix's praises on this one, but here we are! They genuinely did learn from their mistakes!
I wonder how many bets have been lost on this one? 🤔
Chato, before someone calls you out and crucifies you for pronouncing Luffy's name wrong I gotta help you out. "LOOFEE", Lew-ff-eee = Luffy, like this. One Piece forever! I really wanna watch this episode but I don't wanna support Netflix so I'm at a crossroads on this. Great review as always big guy.
I think grounding the material in reality is probably the key to successfully translating anime/manga into live action. That’s why Kenshin did so well in fact the movie with Tomoe in it was the best example of that. The slice of life animes translate very well too because they’re already pretty grounded in reality themselves. It sounds like they’re starting to get it, which is good news. 👍
Thing is with one piece, there are parts that if you ground it, then it’s not one piece. What they did with Luffy was told the actor to purposely be as over the top as Luffy actually is and they will then keep toning it down bit by bit in each take until it still works. I think that was smart
Depends on the source material and execution. Check out Cutie Honey live action anime adaptation, there's nothing grounded about it yet it worked very well in my opinion.
Thank you, Thank you sir. I had no idea this was coming on Netflix. Now I have something to watch over the Labor Day weekend with my Z'er kids. (I get to make popcorn)
I’m a fan of Cowboy Bebop too, it’s one of my favourites anime
Love these review/insights into entertainment management.
Fella like me wouldn't touch Netflix with my neighbours 10 foot pole... but leaving a like and a comment to support you... risking mind and psyche watching modern media for our benefit.... thank you brave comic man...
Solid! Been an on again off again fan of One Piece, and Chato's seal of approval gives me much hope for this one. Definitely watching it.
Hope you enjoy it!
Very good summary. Hearing this I will put it on my watch list.
One wild live action adaptation is Ace Attorney. It leans in and goes crazy. I find that most of the time the Japanese live action adaptations work better often for the reasons/elements you mentioned.
3:16 Just found your channel, it's very refreshing to see an older gentleman making this kind of content (no offense! Much respect). The way you interpreted Netflix's decision to have Zorro chopping people in half was quite insightful ("good physical consequences"). It made me more agreeable to their appraoch, which I originally disliked.
I had so much FUN watching this show, I'm not an anime fan I know nothing about this and I wasn't expecting anything.... And I frikkin loved it.
I’m glad you gave it a fair shot. I have some minor gripes about the show but all in all it’s well done
I still haven't gotten over your bad take on Arcane, but I'm glad I stuck around to get your unique take on other things.
It's nice to see people that aren't really into One Piece take a liking to the show, because the best compliment I can give it is that it IS One Piece. They did an amazing job of adapting the fun and ridiculousness of the series. This should've been 10 episodes, though. Some scenes/episodes are just missing context, and it really hurts the story. Axe-Hand was barely a villain.
I appreciate that!
It funny that you mentioned how they changed the tone for the LA when in reality One Piece is famous for combining over-the-topness with seriousness
2:26
Not only are Pilot episodes most challenging to do but they also Invest *Heavily* into that First episode.
I appreciate your many takes and inciteful commentary. I will definitely make time to take in the show. Thank you.
Thanks, I love your "green lit or not" episodes!
Good video! Your insight convinced me to try it 👍
Great video, this was a fun watch too.
Just recently finished the season and boy you can feel the respect and passion for the source. There are some deviations but the overall plot beats are still the same. I found the casting to be great and each of the crew members felt like the characters come to life. I know the show is crazy expensive so a season 2 is really up in the air but dam do I want it.
the only reasl "sin" to me was SPOILERS chnaging it so Nami's sister and the village didn't know about Nami's sacrifice... that messes up some important parts like why would nami's sister get her tats, and the exclusion of the scene where the village mobilizes to suicide-by-fishmen-pirates, which IMO give *that* Nami scene a good part of it's weight... Also, I'm kinda miffed AND baffled, belle-mere didn't get her epic "jumping the shark" (hehe) scene...
I could tell a lot of different approaches were taken that differ from the manga yet it mostly arrives at the same places. I was pleasantly surprised with a few good moments and ideas that weren't in the original. Though unfortunately many scenes lack the weight of the original. This one was fun. The original is better. But I'm still glad we got this one and I hope It's renewed for a second season. They put a lot of effort on the visuals and I love it that they allowed people to have pink and blue hair or hats with a dog face.
I found the anime too goofy but I was hooked on the live action. I finished the season in one day and want more. It was good fun.
Ah, I forgot it aired yesterday. I'm out to watch it. (will edit back when I watch the first episode)
I'm a fan of One Piece, and finished the first episode, it looks VERY PROMISING. Might not follow the manga storyboard panel by panel but the most important plot points, messages and damn, the atrezzo and attention to detail and the CGI is spot on an not visually tacky. Heck, I loved the outline of the first episode, and the actors chosen to represent the protagonists and other villains are quite close to the cartoons. Obviously the stylization of many of the characters makes hard to find the proper make-up and actor for each one, but so far, even Koby grew on me. My only nitckpick is that I still need to get a bit more used to the actor for Luffy, but he isn't doing it bad (I mean, I never visualized Luffy being curly haired and that ethnicity, but he isn't acting that bad, and does have a wonderful smile that makes me think he really is enjoying acting like Luffy, and that is a plus from me).
I believe this live action is doing good justice to the original work of Eichiiro Oda. I was a bit hopeless because of the previous live action fiascos, but this one looks promising. I'd recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched the original anime or even fans. I'm also very happy we can have a real ginger representing Nami and she looks quite good for the role (and she's a fan of the character to boot!).
Oh well, that's my little opinion on it, and I'm really hard to please. Will watch the rest of the season tonight because it really left a good taste in my mouth and I'm thrilled to see the rest of the season. I'm happy also that they preserved the messages from the original story like the concept of freedom but not by doing evil deeds. One Piece is quite a philosophical story and that's what captivated me the most when I started with the anime many years ago. Ah... Hope they keep steering the franchise nicely as they started with this season. I am pleazed... 😋
I really enjoy your review, bc knowing that you saw some of the other LA (that were mostly trash). It is very different and has its problem for sure. However it gets that One Piece spirit and it is so charming that you let yourself drift away. Even through the HIGHS and lows
Wow Mr. Chato I’m surprised to here you say anything positive about this. I wasn’t sure about this since it is the same that made cowboy bebop for Netflix and it’s one piece. I’m a fan of one piece and I know that this is one the the more extremely difficult to do in live action. I know that these producers say that they learned their lesson, but there is one other factor that keeps me from believing them. It’s Erichiro Oda himself, the Author of one piece! Whatever contract that was signed gave Oda a lot of power on the show. Oda had power over the casting, reshoots, and more and he is also the reason why I only have sliver of hope for this.
Now with your video I’m going to check this one out.
I watched Ep 1 & 2 last night, and I really enjoyed it. Watching the rest this evening. When this show was first announced, I was very very very cautiously optimistic. But in the last 9 months, I found myself more and more excited to watch it. I didn't believe the Oda involvement at first, but it's true, he was the final say so on everything. The showrunners (not the Tomorrow Studios prod people like Marty Adelstein) were already long time fans of the manga and anime. But it was Godoy and Emily Rudd that sold me on the show. Every statement they made, everything they posted about the show - there was always the desire to do two things: 1) make a good show for the fans, 2) make sure Oda-sensei was satisfied. There was never any kind of attack on the fans or elitist tweeting or any of the BS that normally accompanies practically every adaptation that we've seen in the last 5 years. Chato is correct - there is no woke garbage on here. It is literally a show that the entire family can watch and not have to worry about content.
For sure, grounding it in a bit of a more adult (mature?) tone, cutting out a lot of the over the top stuff (especially Nami punching Luffy out every 5 minutes) and using practical effects as much as possible probably helps as much as anything.
And for my part, I like Godoy and Mackenyu (I hear the dudes that play Sanji and Usopp are good too), but Emily Rudd is killing it with her portrayal of Nami. Plus she is smoking hot. If the show sticks around I wonder if they'll figure out a way to give her the post-time-skip figure....
People who don’t know (G)Oda’s fascination with the feminine body may get offended. My only worry is that the cast may age out ( the story has been over 2years and less than six months)
@@jenniferst.george810 Yes - at the rate it takes these days for a show to get made, not to mention the strike not seeming to have an end in the foreseeable future, they're going to have to figure things out if it keeps going. Inaki is 20 right now but Emily Rudd is 30.
Wait until you see Buggy and MiHawk. OMG.
@@pazu8728 Kaya was perfectly cast, Captain Kuro also was perfectly cast.
Don Krieg didn't get enough time on screen.
The rest were perfect.
It got renewed for Season 2, confirmed by Oda and Netflix
One Piece is the greatest story ever told. I have my gripes with the live action but they did manage to capture some of the magic. And that alone makes it worthwile. You can tell the love and care and RESPECT for the source material poured into it.
Great review - thank you Chato.
Great video Paul, I like the One Piece anime, I’m sure I’ll like this
I must admit I'd never heard of this until today(I'm old...), but if it has Paul's seal of approval, I'll definitely check it out.
Love the reviews in this channel…Super grounded
Somehow reminds me of Popeye meets Waterworld. A bit of Peter Pan. Fun. Daylight appreciated in scenes, but maybe just missing a Johnny Depp cameo. Stevenson would be proud, if rubber crew were a thing in his day. A treasure for YA content.
I had heard about One Piece for years and even tried to start the anime at one point, but that animation style was unwatchable for me. I saw the live action drop on Friday and I was immediately hooked! What a great show!
So basically a studio actually learned its lesson took from the original source material and it worked out wow a concept that should have been done in the first place.
Well, that's not exactly what Chato said. A lot of productions take a lot of stuff from the source material. What they take and how they interpret it to live action often fails. Compare the 1980's Captain America to the MCU Captain America. the earlier version was spot on with the comic costume, but failed in everything else. The MCU's version focused on Steve Rogers' character, made nods to the original costume, but did a more practical version to be passible. And the story takes place all in WW2!
JJTrek also takes from TOS, but views it through the eyes of what normies think Star Trek is, instead of the thoughtful, inspirational stories and characters fans see. JJTrek is all style (not even good style imo) and no substance.
I was very hesitant, but I'm very happy they might have done a good job with this! Will give it a go during the weekend!
Well, as a long-time enjoyer of the anime and the manga, I'm glad to hear this, and I will soon check out the first episode.
I still think that One Piece is a bit rough. It's a step in the right direction compared to other adaptations, but I feel some important scenes were left out that makes the emotional moments not hit as hard. I just hope we don't accidentally end up with 4Kids levels of cuts.
I loved it! Very surprised never thought I would see an anime adaptation that works
The show was not produced by the same people that dd the live action Cowboy Bebop. Same studio, entirely different team top to bottom.
Fuck yeah I don't care what he says about this I'm just excited he's talking about it. Like he could hate it and not of green let it and thought it was bad and dumb and not good at all but I'm still just happy he's covering the series.
Great vid mate
I was so afraid that they were going to ruin this property a la Cowboy Bebop. I found it refreshing that it respected and echoed the anime. I think the moment that felt like maybe it was in good hands happened in the flashback scene where Binks’ Sake was playing in the background. It took me a moment to recognize why that music felt so right, but it was awesome. Fingers crossed for the balance of the series, and hopes that Netflix et al will learn from this experience.
I thought your appraisal of the live-action adaptations of anime was pretty good so no shade from me over it. This video actually makes me want to give the show a try without setting my expectations too high. I love the perspective you bring to things almost as much as I love your sense of humor. Thanks for making fun, interesting videos.
I would love for Chato to review One Piece (LA, anime or manga) his energy seem to match very well with the overall story
You are spot on, sir!
I was amazed that it is actually, dare I say it, pretty good. First Netflix original I have felt the urge to click that "next episode" button in some time. Familiar with the anime, but was never a proper fan, so I didn't go into it with preconceived notions of how is "should" have been adapted. I will happily continue watching it, and recommend it to others with similar interests.
I'm impressed with your knowledge of anime. If you don't mind subtitled anime than I would recommend two series that are brilliant, but in very different ways.
"Monster" is a murder mystery with the greatest, in a way most terrifying villain of all time. There's obviously more to it, but that would spoil things. Guillermo del Toro wanted to make an adaption of this for years.
"Mushishi" is completely different, more of a meditative experience. Stories of a travelling "healer" in a Japan with its own lore. It's the Art and the music that make it stand out.
And if you don't know it, watch "Black Lagoon", it's dubbed. That would be a great series, well suited for an adaptation.
As a OP i enjoyed it, I also agree with your take on more adult and real life changes. More swearing and killing felt like a good change.
Never heard of them, never seen "Cowboy BeBop" some of the others you mentioned I have heard if, never seen or watched any of them. However, I have heard of you, I've seen and watched many of your postings. Being I have no life or friends, I haven't been able to share them. Because I have no life or friends, I have an almost job that tanslates into no budget for Patron. Gonna have to settle for me geen lighting myself to watching, leaving a like, being subscribing, leaving a comment and a big thumbs up as a like. 😊😅😮
We need this Doomcock put me onto "The Orville"..."if you like Star Trek".😂
Your taste is similar to mine 95% today.
I loved the Alita Battle Angel movie, too bad it didn't do well
Listen I agree with most of what you said but the one with speed racer I believe was done as best as they can and it actually was really amazing because when you think of all the high-octane and energetic expressions and action-packed scenes that they had to adapt I think they did really well.
And to prove it if you actually look up on RUclips and find the final scene where speed racer is trying to start the Mach 6 in many people have actually substituted the music that the movie used like music from initial D.... And other beloved franchises in music. And honestly it just
Oh shoot my apologies I did not get to type out the rest of my message.
I was trying to say going forward if you ever cancer maybe make a graph that shows characterization in statistics that well going forward movies or live-action adaptations are going to have to kinda make that the standard.
So for me it's just a few things.
And you can disagree or point out any flaws that I might kind of bring up I am always open to have a discussion.
If we get actors I think they need to be vetted by some kind of social media security whatever title.
Their job is to make sure if they are pushed that they won't push back even harder. For instance if people don't like it we won't have one person who probably played a major role acting like oh you are just all stupid or don't understand how hard it was to make this or do this or whatever.
None of that.... I mean look at movies in the 90 I know social media wasn't as big as it is now but we did not have people speak out who were actors and worked on the projects they didn't say oh I'm sorry you didn't like it. You're all horrible people.
We need actors going forward to promise or sign some kind of documentation that says they're allowed to express some things but just blaming anything on the people who watch the production is now just a No-No.
I know that's kind of dumb but I just think if people going to act like children we need to treat them like children. You act up you get a timeout lol.
Second thing we need to make sure whoever is doing these live-action at that tations actually knows about the source material or a little bit about it.
With the cowboy bebop everything was completely changed they kept a lot of stuff close to the vest but it just did not make fucking sense.
We need to stop having adaptations basically become someone's fanfiction I know that certain liberties have to be compromised when making things like this I get that and I will never ever.
Helen actor they did a bad job because they did the best they could and they couldn't give me a one-hundred-percent replica.
We need some kind of person to make sure that a large amount of it obeys The source material. hell maybe we can call them source material director.
( PS please let me know about the idea of creating a new position called source material director. Whose sole purpose is to make sure that not too much is deviated from The source material.)
I almost didn't watch this video as I hate "One Piece". But your insight is usually so on point and funny I decided to give it a whirl. I was not disappointed. Please keep doing what you do.
It is really very different from the anime. Thanks for the props.
Hello Paul Chato. I like the red light - green light take.
Lovely review hopefully they can maintain this same energy for the next season 😭 cuz does it need a bigger budget, in fact get universal studios to collaborate …🦖
You convinced me. I’ll check it out.
I am in complete agreement with your opinion of the Rurouni Kenshin live action film. It's very good. I'm also a big fan of Itazura na Kiss - Love in Tokyo, it did a reasonable job following the story and being enjoyable.
Great show indeed. All the heart and none of the fluff, relevant plots, empty of guff, no message in a bottle as large as a Liner....they finally made something 'fun' to watch. What could be finer?
You lost me with your Speed Racer take. That film is perfection.
And Alita was also almost perfect. There were only several minor changes which were strange. All this channels gave there layman opinion as some kind of great expertise, so I usually never care about any reviews. Too many geat movies (last action hero, postman, etc.) were destroyd by critics
I agree. Though flawed, Speed Racer was quite daring in its production style. It’s built quite a fanbase over the years.
Great review! One Piece has been around since at least 2001 in the West (Europe and the USA) but 1996 in Japan.
Naruto, Dragon Ball Z and Bleach were its rivals during the period 2001-2010 and Naruto dominated in the West - while One Piece dominated in Japan.
Dragon Ball Z is a much older 80's show but it arrived in the West at about the same time as One Piece - but 12 years before One Piece in Japan.
Im happy to know, ill be watching later =)
Why does no one bring up Alice in Borderland when referencing manga or anime remakes
There is one thing a movie adaptation will never be able to do. When you have a 20 min episode every week, you can put a cliffhanger at the end of each.
I'm not a fan of One Piece generally for the art style. Sounds interesting if they made it more grounded but kept the "spirit" of the show intact. Maybe I'll have to check it out... on the high seas! (pun intended)
They really did nail the spirit of One Piece. There are some blatant missteps that hurt the show as they wrote it, but it's still a fun watch. It's amazing how something so weird didn't turn out cringe.
Yeah, I tried to watch it when it came out but realized that I was way too old for it lol
Asteroid Blues is my favorite Pilot episode, ever
Thanks for the tip
I pretty much agree with everything you said in this video mr chato, my question is do you feel that this could be the standard that all anime adaptation should try and reach moving forward ??
As always great summation Chato! I watched the first two episodes last night and just finished the third and have to say as a newcomer to One Piece I’m really enjoying it. When I compare it to the first three episodes of Ahsoka, it just exposes how turgid and badly written that series is and as a long time Star Wars fan it pains me to say it. But say it I must! Have a great weekend all!
The author of the manga was very involved in the production and he had final saying on everything. It shows
3:55 I think so, but I haven't cared enough to look when I go into town.
