Definitely *Princess Tutu*. It’s shoujo which is already often overlooked int anime discussions. It came out in 2002 which is an overlooked period of anime because it was before streaming services started hosting anime but after the 90s anime boom. It’s an amazing show for anybody, however people underestimate it because of its hyperfeminine and childish title, but it’s a surprisingly complexly layered and meaningful show.
Hey thanks so much for the kind words! I just love talking movies/tv and try to get better at these reviews every time I make one, glad to hear you got something out of it. Are you a massive One Piece fan, or just seeing if the Netflix version is worth your time?
Believe it or not, this first season roughly adapted the first 95 chapters: that's almost 10% of what's already been published (and most future seasons will probably adapt more than 100 chapters each, as the Live Action continues - assuming it does)
I thought they did a great job managing all of that source material and cramming it into these first eight episodes. That's such a daunting task, I'm shocked they were able to do it in a way that wasn't just an exposition dump. Super impressive. Thanks for watching, Jack!
To be fair, they cut most of Baratie's conflict that took up a ton of chapters. I don't mean that as a negative necessarily. The Don Kreig fight is one of my least favorite fights (though I liked the meaning behind the fights). I liked the character development in that arc but the fight itself was meh. So they saved a lot of time, but did so by cutting out a villain that wouldn't have resonated much with audiences anyways. Good cut.
Dope to see new people getting into the series like myself I started with the anime back in May and only took me 46 days to catch up with that in time for the Gear5 reveal and the live action series nd it's only going to get bigger as the series goes on in the manga/anime/live action
If you decide to watch the anime please watch 'one pace'. They really cheap out in the animation and filler/elongating scenes just to pad time and one pace really fixes a lot of issues there but editing it really well.
I started watching One Pace a couple of nights ago, and I am really digging it to far. Super cool the amount of work people have put into making the anime mirror the manga as closely as possible. Thanks for the info!
I think the original anime is excellent, at least for the first 300 (or 500) episodes or so, as long as you skip the filler episodes. No need to watch One Pace in my opinion! @incubiakster, have you even watched One Pace yourself?
I specifically search for a non-fan reaction 😅 I want to know what they think, because as a fan of the anime I was sobbing happy tears since Ep 1. I liked it so much & understand the nuances & stories very clearly.
Haha that is awesome that they did the anime justice to that degree in your eyes. I had so much fun with the live action series, currently diving into the anime as we speak. Thanks for watching!
I am a MASSIVE one piece fan like i both read and watch one piece and I've gotta say its the perfect adaption. I think disney has people confused on what a live action adaption is. An adaption should be a retaling of the story but it should ADAPT the story to the medium its being ADAPTED into and one piece does just that. Its not trying to be the anime and instead it is its own thing which standson its own, but at heart its still one piece and Conveys the messages and emotions that the author wanted 10/10 for me, Sadly the east blue saga is just the start and I really hope we get a season 2 because the Alabasta arc is where one piece geos from a simple adventure story a Grandiose epic like im not jokeing those 8 episode's where just a teaser for something much, much bigger and you can actuly start at they left off in the live action if you wanna know what happens next.
Glad that you absolutely loved this version as a big fan of the franchise! This one really took me by surprise, and I cannot wait to see more. Completely agree that they clearly adapted this well. Doing everything they do in the anime would not have worked, so it's cool that they made some changes but still kept its heart in the right place. Here's to hoping season 2 is greenlit before we know it!
Hey thanks so much for the kind words! I just love talking movies/tv and try to get better with every video I put out, glad you got something out of it. When you say "in-depth reviews" so you mean spoiler reviews? Also, are you a big One Piece fan? Thanks for watching!
@@SullyStreams sure I am a OP fan bro. By saying ''in depth'' I meant section by section considerably longer reviews like casting, stroyline, pacing, dialogue/action balance, character development etc. In order to do that you I assume cannot escape from giving spoilers. Anyways that's just a friendly advice, of course it's up to you to follow the path you enjoy on your youtube journey.
I recommend reading the manga rather than watching the anime. The anime in later seasons experiences some really bad pacing due to it catching up with the source material which eventually stretches out an already long series. Obviously the Manga doesn't have these limitations and being able to establish your own pace (how fast you read, while episode time is fixed) while experience such a long-running series is nice. Overall I'd recommend reading the manga and then watching the relevant scene/episodes/clips of pivotal fights in the anime. There is also a colored version of the manga on the internet which is really well done that adds another great layer to the reading experience.
I've started watching One Pace, which cuts down on the filler and follows the manga more closely. Do you have any experience with that version? But who knows, maybe I should just read the manga. Thanks for watching!
@@SullyStreams I prefer the manga because it's fast, and I really love the experience of re-reading it to notice small details/hints that matter in the later chapters. But One Pace is also a great start to follow the anime without too much filler.
@@SullyStreams I don't have any experience with that but it definitely sounds like a good way to go about watching it. Also take everything I said with a grain of salt since (despite its faults) there are tens of millions (if not hundreds) of people who love the OP anime around the globe. As a medium I feel like Manga is definitely underrated. I always saw it as secondary to anime and only got into it after wanting to continue a story that didn't have an ending. Now I rarely watch anime and basically just read manga. Recommend listening to music while reading but that's a personal preference. I saw in other threads you were asking for manga recommendations, here is my personal top 10 (I'll put a star next to the name if I recommend the anime): My top 10 Favorite Manga (in order): 10/10 1. One Punch Man* (Heroes, Action, Comedy/Parody, All-Time Great Art) 2. Punpun (Adult, Drama, Realism w/ absurdity, Depression/Self-Harm) 3. Berserk (Adult, Extremely Dark, Fantasy, Critically Acclaimed, All-Time Great Art) 4. JOJOs* Steel Ball-Run (JOJOs, Action, race) 9/10 5. Monster* (Adult, Realism, Crime, Psychological Horror) 6. Tokyo Ghoul (Dark, Supernatural, WAY better than Anime) 7. Attack on Titan* (Dark, Political) 8. One Piece (Adventure, Upbeat) 9. Dorohedoro* (Underrated gem, Mystery, Dark Comedy, Fantasy, Dystopia) 10. Dandadan (High-paced action, Comedy, Supernatural, Romance, Relatively New)
@@Anonymous8693 One Punch Man and Attack on Titan have been at the top of my watchlist for a long ass time, might have to finally dive in. Thanks for all of the recommendations!
Couldn’t agree more. I’m going through the anime myself right now, and they really found a great way to squeeze so much story into these 8 episodes without making it feel rushed and choppy. Thanks for watching!
Not sure on names but did you watch the one with Monkey Assassins? How bout Matthew McConaheah (sp) playing Elvis around Nixon? On your watchlist? I’ll add One Piece now
Haven't seen either of those, but know which ones you're talking about! You should definitely add this one to your watchlist, Bill. A lot of fun to be had with this...
I likes they make it this way. Have time for more? Go anime/manga No time? Go Live Action Both worth to watch, LA also has bonus scenes that fan services to anime/manga. Like a young woman crocodile? that is a mystery solved for anime/manga reader
All you new folks to OP, when you watch the anime. mainly watch arc’s with the current Crew, start with your favorite. Sanji, Zorrow, Nami, Usopp, Luffy, You can then see how the entire crew is a family and will die for each other.
If you’re open to it, I think this one is definitely worth your time. Make sure you go into it expecting it to be very goofy and weird, but that’s where it shows it’s charm. Thanks for watching, dude!
It does miss some pop culture references. Like Alvida asks "who is the strongest on the seas" and in the manga she asks who is the most beautiful on all the seas" referencing the evil queen from Snow White who asks "mirror mirror on the wall, who is the most beautiful of them all" (Spoiler: it says Snow White") Oda is a big Disney fan
As someone who watched live action. I give it 7/10 despite having bottom abyss expectation. They definitely broke the curse but there are a lot of unnecessary changes that are worse than the anime (ik they have to rewrite to cut eps but some scene like when Sanji parts with Zeff changes are unnecessary.
Thanks for your comment. As I finally dive into the anime for the first time, I'm looking forward to getting deep into it to realize some of the changes myself. I'm actually on the Baratie arc now!
If you google One Piece filler list, itll show you the non canon episodes if you don't want to see the fun side adventures. Dont skip Skypiea arc 😅 alot of people will say that sadly. I love the comedy in One Piece. I hope you'll enjoy! Dont worry it wont take as long as you think
Good to know, thank you! I started watching the streamlined version that's closer to the manga (One Pace), and I'm really digging it so far. I'll keep an eye out for that arc, thanks for watching!
@@benasay8279 Yeah dude, people clearly put a ton of hard work into that version it seems. Highly suggest checking it out, I'd be curious to see how you think it stacks up!
Agree! Other live action manga adaptations I'd recommend aside from Oldboy 2003 & the Rurouni Kenshin films :) 1. Alice in Borderland show 2. Ichi the killer 3. Lone wolf & cub films 4. Lady snowblood 1&2 5. Blade of the immortal 6. Crying freeman 7. Guyver: Dark hero 8. City hunter As for underrated anime shows: Vivy: Fluorite Eye's song Street fighter 2V
I have heard very good things about Alice in Borderland and Ichi the Killer, definitely adding all of these to the watchlist. Super pumped to hear you dug the Netflix One Piece too. Thanks for watching, Peter!
If you cant catch up with the anime , you can read the manga, ive finished the whole thing in 3 weeks last year, you can watch the emotional moment in anime because its better
I quit anime officially now. Show sux for me. But if people like it hope get a season two. I return to porn now they have better adaption of anime and comics.
it has a 96% positive audience score on Rotten, with extremely positve reviews (counting 10.000 and more). However, there's still a 4% like you, but I think Netflix won't care.
One problem with live-action-anime-remakes is the fact that there is HUGE disconnect between the anime's presentation of most of the characters as Caucasian white people in the anime and Japanese actors in the remakes. I mean, yeah, we can potentially ignore the fact that anime portrays Japanese people as white folks with exaggerated facial features, but I can NOT ignore when a canonically Caucasian character is suddenly replaced with an Asian actor with blond hair.
@@SullyStreamsyea what I did was I would read the manga mainly but for the epic fights or cool moments I would search for clips on RUclips there’s pretty much a clip for every thing you’d want to see animated
@@SullyStreams yh Manga is better but anime is not bad at all. Anime is great but has pacing issues. Best is to watch One Pace which is another version of anime but without bad pacing.
@@SullyStreams No problem. one thing I would like to add is that, after some hundred episodes you will likely get to great fight scenes that the anime extended and enhanced from the manga, for some reason One Pace seems to shorten those fights and cut the extended parts removing great set pieces entirely. So i would suggest you watch those in youtube or switch to regular version for just that scenerio.

On a bit of a review binge for One Piece and I gotta say, you're punching above your weight here. Keep at it. Well-spoken and an easy voice.
