i actually like how Luffy kinda comes off as creepy because i feel like that's exactly how Luffy would seem if he were real, and it shows how unhinged he is as a character. Imagine taking a character who's completely numb to fear and pain and have him try to interract with normal people who don't have that kind of luxury and that's exactly what they did and it's great. He's whimsical but creepy, kind of like Peter Pan.
Honestly, I really didn't like their Luffy actor at all. He didn't even seem that enthusiastic until the end where he finally gets genuinely excited and acts like Luffy for once, the rest of the time he's just kind-of off? Like he feels TOO subdued, right? He's not going "I'm going to be... KING OF DA PIRAATEEESSS!!!!" He's going "I'm gonna be- Kingovthe pirates...!" And I think that's absolutely why he comes off so weird in this. He's missing that over the top joy and excitement, so you're just left with someone who feels wrong and they don't really understand where they are or what's going on, so they just hit super different.
@@dracocrusher idk i found him good every character has their over the top characteristics toned down so it wouldnt come of as weird for live action like for example sanji not wasting food (ever) or usopp being completely over the top with his lies or small stuff like zoro who doesnt call his attack names i think for live action it works better that way but thats just my opinion think how you want
@@dotchas4133 Those are all the things I like about the show, though. If you don't like the attack names or the over the top characters, then I really don't know why you'd be into watching a One Piece show in the first place? Sure, changes had to happen. But I genuinely think some of their decisions translated better than others and that some character changes just didn't really work at all.
@@dracocrusher One Piece is one of my favourite shows ofc i like the over the top nature it has what i was saying is that these over the top actions dont translate well in real life imo
I know you said you don't really remember a lot of aspects of One Piece, but to your comments regarding some aspects of the author not caring about certain aspects like how they get food, he does actually go into a lot of detail about it and is why the ship has the cook Sanji and the tangerine trees. A lot of time during their down time you also see them fishing or loading up on supplies between each island. They also do have a lot of money to buy whatever they need due to Nami being a thief. One Piece is one of the few shows that really goes to fully express and explain every aspect of their world and it just feels a little shitty for it to ignored and tossed into the same box as everything else. Even the crew not doing "pirate" things is explained pretty well with the government aspects and how them doing whatever they want is highly illegal in their world.
the tangerines are actually great cuz obviously nami grew up in a tangerine grove so its carrying the memory of her mom and sister but also citrus fruits have nutrients to combat scurvy which is obviously a big danger on the sea, so oda's a god
Oh yeah, in One Piece just raising the Jolly Rodger is a crime against the government. Luffy's crew aren't pirates because they take things, they're pirates because they're radical anarchists who refuse to submit to the authoritarian state that controls nations around the globe.
I also feel that comment is sort of inconsistent to his earlier comments. Why is the specific reason why the Xmen exist is worth glossing over and not the day to day of an adventure show?
Honestly the only issue i have so far with the live action show is quite simple: no one laughs. Luffy might have a permanent shit eating grin, but thats it. Ussop never laughs to hide his fear, nami never laughs when she lets her guard down, zoro never laughs to show he's more than a stoic warrior, etc. etc. Laughter is such a core emotion in One Piece, not just because its comedic, but because it reveals character. Who laughs at what, who makes who laugh all gives characters depth. The live action crew is competently written, but they rely way too much on characters telling us their feelings and emotions to move character arcs along.
That is an interesting note. But yeah, laughter seems important to Oda to the point that most, if not all, important characters have their own unique laugh.
I’m not a massive one piece fan but I feel like they’ve accurately handled the “what do they eat?” question throughout the series using Sanji’s cooking. I always assumed Sanji keeps a stocked pantry whenever they visit a new island. Seems pretty simple to me.
Never forget that even as a kid Sanji was an expert at preserving food and making rations last longer than they're supposed to. So Sanji could absolutely keep them going for way longer than you'd think on WAY less than you'd ever expect. He also makes it a policy to never waste food, so whatever they get is something Sanji's going to make 100% complete use out of no matter what.
@@shady8045 It's super worth noting that Sanji is like the only reason these guys can even survive. There is a point where Sanji gets separated from the rest of the crew, and when left alone Luffy nearly dies of Starvation within a day. Sanji being a god-tier cook might unironically be the single biggest asset to their entire group! They can at least get by for a bit without a doctor, but without Sanji they'd be dead in a matter of hours!
Plus in that prototype he was Luffy's grandpa but wasn't a Marine, so Oda was trying to hide the fact that Garp is a Marine in the main series from anyone who might recognize him as Luffy's grandpa from the prototype
I wonder if the Netflix show will go with the previous design for Robin, or will they go with the current design for her. I personally think that the previous version, as drawn here, is better. The darker skin tone really suits her, and her look added to her mystique.
Well, in her initial appearance she is a girl from the One Piece equivalent of the soviet border that just spent a fuckload of time in the middle of the desert, so the tan better be there.
Her dark skin tone was apparently never canon in the manga and merely a decision done by the anime team, not by Oda. I also wish they had sticked with that design in the anime rather than de-tanning her without explanation. So if Oda has any say in this, she probably will be played by a Russian with light skin. But I share your sentiment, so if the life action were to take any (semi-)liberties here, this would be a nice touch.
I feel like for Chopper they will do it like the deer child in Sweet Tooth and how they handled Arlong. Just get a little kid and give him a prosthetic nose and mouth and have him wear antlers (or even just the hat with antlers stuck to it). Then they can use a bodybuilder double for when he is in his full "human"/yeti form and have him dub the actor.
Chopper becoming cute is an oddly similar story to Iggy from JoJo part 3. When he first showed up he was a wrinkly realistic looking mutt, but then later he changed him to have more human like features to give him a readable expression
22:00 ok I was getting a friend into one piece and they decided to watch it in english and I died of laughter when zoro does his three sword style because his voice actor literally talks like he has his mouth full which makes logical sense but man it took me by surprise.
The series addresses the whole piracy thing. Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates simply because he thinks Roger was the freest person in the world, and that means not having to abide by any rules. That alone makes you a pirate (he also ended committing a few VERY henious crimes along the way). And the reason why the setting is about 'pirates' (or rather people who sail the world in ships) is simply because the planet is mostly covered in water.
As someone who is only vaguely aware of one piece the most shocking thing to me was finding out it was not finished lol. I thought about trying to get into it but got intimidated by the length of it. And that's just from reading the manga and not touching the anime. But I'm glad one piece fans are getting something at least not terrible. Great video as always.
I would highly recommend checking out the manga if you're ever interested. It's a surprisingly good read with the wildest part being that it's somehow still good and even the newest chapters are still dropping really cool emotional revelations that change how fans look at stuff that happened 10 years ago in the story. It's also finally at least nearing something like a conclusion. After the current arc there's going to be one more and then we'll PROBABLY hit the final island before we just go for the big treasure and inevitably have a massive final arc war over it. So there's a weirdly realistic chance that if someone starts and goes at a steady pace, they could catch up right as we get into the final battle with all the revelations that's going to come with it. So that's something.
@@D-Havoc He does bring up good points - while you might disagree with what the main theme of the series is , Naruto is a pretty crappy protagonist. I got off the Naruto hype train after the n-th instance of "JK - he's not dead , it was an illusion".
Love you Plague, Nothing but the Best for You and the Misses, best wishes from Romania ... i'm the guy who pissed you off last year with the romanian accents when you were doing the Halloween Pricolici Episode 🤣🎃🙃
I'll be honest, I didn't expect this to be good at all, so I went in expecting a fun bad product. But I also needed it to get a S2 just to see live action Robin in the Alabasta fit. Cause holy shit, that and her Thriller Bark dress are PEAK Robin outfits. Also, someone made a TikTok showing off the crew and used the Rock for Chopper. So now I need your Danny DeVito little Chopper and Rock "The Dwanye" Johnson for big Chopper.
Giants are Dorry and Broggy, Doctor Kureiha is hot from neck down as she has proportions similar to Boa, minus massive chest. I would argue you remember quite enough for average fan. Hell, you remembered who Bogard was. Or that he was at all
Also, Impel Down was first time we've seen devil fruit awaken, but those were failed awakenings. Zoan fruits can risk taking over the host if you fail to control them during awakening
I agree with glasses and Kuro thing. In manga he was doing that all the time, and it was meant to foreshadow that he was Kuro. It was Oda's one of the first attempts at foreshadowing really
The whole "moral ambiguity" of the setting went out the window once the Celestial Dragons were introduced anyway. Before that point you could make the argument that ultimately the Marines are the good guys and that the system just has some problems. But once you see the entire system from the top-down, no matter how good-intentioned the individual Marine like Garp, exists for the sole purpose of supporting the whims of these monsters who see themselves as above humanity (and Imu above them), then at that point no. I want the Revolutionary Army to win, maybe the good marines will create something good out of the ashes after everything is burned down.
Yeah its pretty clear that under tyranny there can be no "good cops/military." Even the most moral individuals are under the control of the amoral and thus enabling the immoral behavior they dislike making them hypocrites that simply exist to serve the status quo. There's only so much leeway one can give their enemies. At a certain point a line is drawn & sides gotta be chosen. One Piece might've lost its moral ambiguity over time but it's definitely embraced this latter idea.
@@Secret_Takodachi They COULD make an argument that the WG was needed after the horrors of the Void Century, except we're pretty damn sure that's not what happened and that's why the CD kill anyone that learns the truth of the Void Century.
Meh, One Piece is still a manga, which means that you know the twist will be that the Celestial Dragons are nitwits used to fund the super secret true purpose of the World Government. Nothing Shonen ever ends with people with money being the ultimate bad guy when there's a 90 year old man who can punch really good and talks about order vs chaos or whatever.
Funny that you bring up the live action series expanding on the koby/helmeppo cover story, because thats something the anime also did. It was just a few episodes, but it did alot to expand on their dynamic and their time training as marines. Wouldn't be too surprised if the live action pulled a bit from that.
I know you said you don't remember earlier one piece so that makes sense when you wondered what they do that's pirate like. They don't hurt anyone but they'll definitely steal. They just never had to kuz things were always given to them as gratitude. On Skypea, Luffy finds hella gold inside a snake and the crew wakes up early to steal it. The townsfolk see that the strawhats are leaving and they haven't given them anything other than food so they start chasing the strawhats to give them gold but the strawhats think they've been caught stealing so they run away. So the answer to how they fund themselves is they're always given rewards like how you said in your vid, but if they ran out for some reason, they aren't against stealing
Piracy from Luffy's perspective is the romance of adventure and discovery and the freedom that comes with such a life, cause his influence was Shanks. It ties back to one of the original concepts for the story where Garp was a pirate and how he explains there are two types, those who pillage and plunder and those who seek adventure. This is the type of pirate Luffy, Roger, and Shanks are. Piracy in the one piece world generally refers to sea-faring criminals overall as opposed to people who do piratey things like pillaging, and this is shown through the antagonist throughout the story. Lu
They can use person with dwarfism. Just use Woman. with cute voice.. + Is that if we get couple more years she will still sounds and looks the same with makeup
As someone who knows some really basic stuff about the one piece universe and has only watched the live action series I'm not gonna judge you not remembering much. I looked into getting into the show a decade ago and I found the entire thing way too long and intimidating at the time.
My ultimate takeaway with the live action is that (1) sometimes you should just let animated stories stay in the flexibility of that medium instead of adapting it, and (2) even if the actors are trying their hardest, that can't account for all sorts of other issues sapping the show's quality, some of which goes back to point 1.
I fit your inquiry! East Blue was super goofy and unfocused. Fortunately I used the movies to catch up on those arcs. I used an episode guide to skip fillers up to and catch up on arcs up to Skypea. Solid pacing w/o the filler, does a fantastic job establishing the heart and makes you believe in Luffy's dream along with the new crew. Very much an "enjoy the journey" kind of situation. After Water 7, I had to go to the manga because at that point its so focused on the external conflict that it loses its strength in showing its heart. As a result, the pacing issues are waaaay more distracting. Overall One Piece is an alright series with PHENOMENAL moments and filled to the brim with heart. I would not be surprised to find that Oda is a people person because his character are incredibly likable while having their own personalities and goals.
I was completely new to One Piece before the live action, and I got very attached to the vibe and the characters very quickly. Maybe it's just because so much of what's coming out of Hollywood these days is overly complicated and preachy (at best), but I had no idea just how much I was craving something good and kind and wholesome. It's simple, but deep. It's fun and childlike, but it's also honest and nuanced with its life lessons. The actors can be inexperienced at times, but they care so much about what they're doing and it shows. The show just encouraged me to turn off the critical part of my brain and enjoy something for once, and for that I'm very grateful.
Early on the money thing was more justified because it's like they get a bunch of money from the island Buggy raids, right? And then they go and save a rich girl who gives them a boat and some supplies, and then they have a whole adventure in Sky Island where they get a bunch of money from the city of gold, which actually comes into play in Water 7 because they basically have to pay for repairs and discuss the payment and stuff. So yeah, that's all good enough. And then I don't remember a single time where they really had a big score after that point...? Like they get to Thriller Bark, pay for stuff in Sabaody, then Impel Down and the Paramount War happened, there was a time skip......... Maybe Brook's paying for stuff with his newfound musician fame, but other than that, you know...? Just never really comes up.
It does, in exactly the ways you brought up pre-TS. We are specifically shown how they're fed and funded post=Fishman Island and post-Punk Hazard. With Dressrosa it's actually the opposite, since they run away and shack up with Barto, but after that we are again shown them stocking up on Zou and the consequences of not having Sanji pre-WCI then post-WCI. After Wano we are once again shown them stocking up for the voyage. Plague is just straight up wrong here, as other commenters have noted.
I’m a huge One Piece fan and I’ve been trying to get my gf to begin the series for the better part of a year. The live action finally convinced her to begin reading the manga and she loves it.
I like how this video turned into an One Piece story critic rather than just criticizing the live action. Im not a One Piece super fan as well and Im more excited with what the live action will do next. The one thing they'll fix though is the terrible pacing.
I saw you ask for t-shirt ideas, I would like a shirt with your furry bait Vicar Amelia painting from after the credits of your BLUDémon animation, as an idea. On mellow earthy tones fabric with no tag please.
If you haven’t found out yet, the dog hat was to hide the fact that he’s Luffy’s grandpa since he was in romance dawn with the exact same character and design
I think any series with a distinct / established artstyle to receive a live action series or a film is an insult since its clear by now that none of these would exist had Disney not made it aparent the average consumer cannot stop themselves from eating up anything associated with a brand they are familiar with.
Have you been playing GW2 at all recently? I was always kind of hoping to a followup to the Kormir video once the PoF thing came out. I'm sure there's, like, 4 other people who would totally be into a video on your GW2 times
Thinking about the money needed, I think it would be better to have chopper as his most human form most of the time. Though If I could wish for something, I'd love to see Chopper based on the tech used for Gollum.
I quite liked, even though expected to hate it by the trailer. I'm not too fond of how Nami's actress portraits her in most scenes (almost every line delivery is condensending), but it was fine overall. A lot of changes and cuts were also good. The biggest disappointment is the lack of Jango. Where's mah boi...
I agree with your stance on being able to translate characters in original situations but keeping true to what characters would do based off of pre-established material. This video was surprisingly positive. So I guess that's a testament to the series that you didn't do to it what you did in your Naruto video. You know, missing the forest for the trees.
- The old guy was Dr. Hiriluk. He was generally hated because he was a quack doctor who did nothing to help his patients, although he sincerely wanted to. His death inspired actual doctors to follow his principles (everyone deserves medical treatment), however the majority were held under duress by Wapol anyway for years. - Going against the World Government and sailing wherever the hell you want is good enough to label you a pirate in One Piece's setting. Oda originally planned on making "types of pirates" (so Luffy would call himself a Peace-Main) but it's honestly less awkward to just imply that adventurers and treasure hunters are considered pirates as well. - The crew fishing and eating weird creatures is actually a pretty frequent plot point, like Zoro and Sanji's hunting contest. Otherwise they usually just go "Sanji is in charge of stockpiling provisions", using left over treasure money. No idea how they keep Luffy fed.
22:39 The best part of this is Zoro canonically doesn't even talk with his mouth when he's fighting in the manga. According to Oda, when someone asked "hey how does Zoro talk so clearly with a sword in his mouth", Oda said that, "when in 3-sword style, Zoro talks with his heart, not his mouth so everyone understands him." That is such a complete nonsense, Looney Toons answer that Oda clearly pulled out of his ass and yet at the same time you completely buy it because that's the kind of setting One Piece has. Nowadays you can probably chalk it up to him just using haki to communicate but that was a good answer for the time because someone having the will to do something in OP is just as if not more powerful than actually doing it. Willpower literally is magic in One Piece, as haki shows.
@@korstmahler You shouldn't buy it but Oda has on more than one occasion taken a bullshit joke answer and then actually did something later that made it make function that way through in-universe logic.
He gave a similar answer for how Luffy appeared to take damage from Nami punching and kicking him in comedy scenes despite being made of rubber and being immune to blunt damage. The answer he gave was Nami's punches hurt because they are made with love. The real answer is because funny jokes, and I guess the retcon answer is because Nami is a selective haki prodigy I suppose.
16:34 great video but I feel like one piece very pirate! It’s just isn’t conventional to what we see pirates as so it doesn’t feel like what we think a pirate story should feel like. Or at least that’s how it is for me.
Elli sounds like Mihawk, I have this drawing as my wall paper, and I stopped watching the Netflix adaptation when they got to the bar and Zoro gave the worst line delivery I ever heard since Ada in RE4RE
Regarding Garp's Dog hat: In the one shot before One Piece Monsters (edit Actually Wanted! is the one with Luffy and Garp not monsters which is the Ryuma story) Garp is a pirate and luffys grandpa. Since he had the same design Oda hid the fact that he was luffys grandpa in OP by giving him the dog hat then making him remove it for the reveal. Because we know who he is already there's no reason to keep the dog hat even though he does keep the dog aesthetic for his ship
The One Piece Netflix show shows that it is possible to make a good live-action adaptation. Also, while the show has a lot of diversity and some of the race swapping (for example, I don't remember Nami's sister being black in the anime) they did isn't cringe, it is not in your face with it or even points it out. It's like in the real world. People of so many different shades, races, cultures, etc. exist and it is nothing to be angry or happy about. It just is. And yes, there will always be people that will hate on diversity, but when a show is done well and the diversity is done like this, it makes it even harder for anyone to agree with those miserable individuals.
But its not actually good (its average, sets are probably the best thing about the show) and the race swaps arent representative of either the real world nor, more importantly THE CHARACTERS WORLD. But it is proof that netflix wont completely fuck up a show from the start... but Witcher mostly started off like that too.
I started watching One Piece two months ago. My jaw was on the floor. I neither knew just how colorful and funky the characters were in the show nor how much diversity was in it. I love it.
To be honest Nojiko is a character who you could race swap and it wouldn't affect anything really. I was fine with it (they are both orphans and not related by blood after all). If i was annoyed at anything it was that she didn't know what Nami was up to all those years when she does in the original, but that's more a nitpick than anything.
31:30 Anyway when fighting it was clear that Kaku was still a noobie with his fruit, remember when he tries to hit Zoro by compress and then violently release his neck but he make his arms and legs extend by mistake. I hope Netflix will show that scene, it's hilarious
Im glad people are enjoying it and while im sure it has some positives the fact that the manga still exists and netflix's habit of dropping shows instantly i dont feel much inclination to look at it. I feel that way for most adapatations of things that are already pretty good. Glad that people who are actual fans of the manga are finding some enjoyment out of it
Robin's anger at the destruction of archaeological history is something I can get behind. I can barely stand to read how badly we in the real world have treated ancient discoveries. Imagine discovering dozens, even a hundred mummified human bodies, and saving only 5 you like, and burning the rest as firewood. That's a paraphrasing of a real event, people literally burned human bodies and the history with them as firewood. That's when those same era people weren't mashing them up into paste and rubbing it on themselves to cure things. I wish I was joking.
Archeology is the primary study of how much someone can handle old people exploding invaluable historic artifacts with TNT because they didn't want to dig the fucking ruins out of the ground. I wish I was joking as well, it's pain dude, PAIN.
Watched the live-action with my partner, who had no prior exposure to One Piece that I know of. She loved it. I think she really enjoyed the characters and the weird, fantastical nature of the world. Both of our biggest criticism was that the CGI was weird at times. One of my favorite things was how they handled Zoro. He initially comes off as just an edgelord, and over time we get enough glimpses of him to realize that he’s just as much a weirdo as the rest of the cast.
Also his chin. Like it was bigger and more defined than even the actor's actual chin was. It made that part of his face look a bit fake and disproportinally big. Something with the make up is my guess.
On your saying of "It doesn't matter what happens in the timeline, it's what you do with your characters and where they go" I'm fully resonating with this way of thinking. I did the suffering that is experience Rising of the Shield Hero in the light novel, manga, and anime mediums and each one is different enough to go insane over the deviations. What matters are the hardline timeline events have to go a certain way, that's it.
To answer some of your manga questions 1. The Awakened zoan jail guards at Impel Down are actually regular humans that ate devil fruits. Instead of achieving true Awakening, they could only manage false Awakenings. Chopper's Monster Point is essentially this condition. 2. Remember it has been 2 years since we last saw characters like Crocodile, Lucci, or Kaku. They didn't spend all that time sitting around with their thumbs in their ass. Just like how the Strawhats trained, they did as well.
Hello, can't wait to hear your review. Just finished it myself with my wife (a person who doesn't like or care about anime) and I was super surprised how much she loved it. Overall had a wonderful experience through out and had moments we paused for me to explain to her questions she had at the time
Im lrettt excited about the next season honestly. I feel like the pacing in the live action was almost perfect. Everything moved rather quickly and they did a lot in the 8 or 9 episodes. I was pretty satisfied with it.
My mother (55) has no experience with anime/manga at all and after watching the LA series and loving it, she started reading the manga because she wanted to know what comes next. Time will tell if she'll stick with it though, but I hope so.
They had to like come up with a different term for like the wholesome pirates, there's like the evil pirates that you're imagining, then there is the more like treasure hunter pirates they say Never mind that we called him the same thing
@@PlagueOfGripesIt actually existed in a REALLY early version of One Piece, I think it was Wanted! but basically the Luffy-type fun adventure pirates were known as Peace-Mains, and the Blackbeard type pillage and murder pirates were Morganeers, I think the government still saw both as terrorists but pirate to pirate interaction was a lot more clearly dictated by what kind of pirate crew you were.
I think in the OP world "Pirate" is basically like being a "Sovereign Citizen" in our world. Because if you don't bend over and let the World. Gov ream your freedom, that makes you a "Pirate" in the eyes of the wider world. So when Luffy says *"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates"* he's really saying *"I'm going to be King of the Sea Gypsies"*
With the manga, at the start of several chapters, there's a single panel depicting a scene and Oda tells a side story over several chapters about older characters. Enel/Eneru the big bad of Skypiea has a side story about his trip to and on the moon. Coby and Helmeppo had one such story where they end up training with Garp after Ax hand Morgan tries to escape. So when they reappear in Water Seven there's a payoff for those who noticed it. The Anime used to cover such side stories but it's not as common later on.
Eli, I'm curious if you've ever seen the Speed Racer 2008 movie. I feel like that's probably the best adaptation of a relatively goofy anime source material into live action that I've ever seen, but I'm curious what your thoughts on it would be
I tried for a long time to keep up with One Piece but I couldn't anymore. Last thing I got to was when they first arrived on Cake Island, and Nami told Luffy not to run off, and then he immediately does it.
If you were watching the anime, that is a great spot to swap to the manga because the pacing slows to a crawl. I would still go back to the anime to watch the fight scenes, because buhgawd they put the stank on it!
@@unosamiX I do wanna continue with it so that might be a good idea. The sanji backstory is something I wanna see unfold. I just couldn't take the constant 5 min of recapping previous episodes every single time and blue balling the fuck out of shit.
Whole Cake Island is fucking awful anime pacing wise. You could switch to the manga, but there's always One Pace, the edited down version of the anime. iirc One Pace literally saves like a little over 1000 minutes worth of time compared to Toei's shenanigans.
I suppose Chopper could be a hybrid effect, but then I think about how his battle mode is already an uncanny fursuit muscle man and I can help but think how dialogue scenes would play out with some full prosthetic wrestler delivering his lines.
I never properly watched OP. My friend group has a lot of fans of the anime, but I personally never got past the where the Netflix ended Season 1 (and some random episodes my roommate was watching), and even that was years and years ago. I never clicked with the art style and I just can't handle how god-awfully slow and repetitive the pacing of the anime is. Personally - I really liked it. if they continue, this will be my main venue to watch the show. Sanji is my favorite, being a flirt, but not a creepy anime perv. Zoro, Grandad and Mihawk were really cool. You are right, that Luffy seems like the most awkward of the crew, but he's also dealing with the most wacky cartoon character personality. I think he just needs to tone down the smile a little, to not look as psychotic. And in general it feels good to have episode where *shit happens* and they don't explain attacks for 3 minutes. My friends seemed to have enjoyed it a lot, they said the villains transferred well and in general everyone had a great time.
There's a fan edition of one piece that is easily download able, it's called one pace you can Google it. It trims all the fat and makes the pacing much better while still not missing anything essential and making transitions so smooth they're unnoticeable. If you ever pick up the series again that's the best way to watch it imo
Everyone seems to forget that Chopper has a humanoid form. They can introduce him as his cute little form but spend most of the series in his human form which could easily be an actor in prosthetics.
Yeah, but keeping him in his humanoid form all the time doesn’t feel the same level as true to the original One Piece that the creators of the LA seem to be shooting for. Plus, Baby Yoda is huge, so there is precedent for having a cute animatronic/puppet front and center on a streaming show.
i actually like how Luffy kinda comes off as creepy because i feel like that's exactly how Luffy would seem if he were real, and it shows how unhinged he is as a character.
Imagine taking a character who's completely numb to fear and pain and have him try to interract with normal people who don't have that kind of luxury and that's exactly what they did and it's great.
He's whimsical but creepy, kind of like Peter Pan.
Honestly, I really didn't like their Luffy actor at all. He didn't even seem that enthusiastic until the end where he finally gets genuinely excited and acts like Luffy for once, the rest of the time he's just kind-of off? Like he feels TOO subdued, right?
He's not going "I'm going to be... KING OF DA PIRAATEEESSS!!!!"
He's going "I'm gonna be- Kingovthe pirates...!"
And I think that's absolutely why he comes off so weird in this. He's missing that over the top joy and excitement, so you're just left with someone who feels wrong and they don't really understand where they are or what's going on, so they just hit super different.

Sure, changes had to happen. But I genuinely think some of their decisions translated better than others and that some character changes just didn't really work at all.
@@dracocrusher One Piece is one of my favourite shows ofc i like the over the top nature it has what i was saying is that these over the top actions dont translate well in real life imo
Idk why but when I read “Peter” I thought “Peter griffin” was coming after even though what you said made significantly more sense.
"Her body is weirdly hot. But she's OLD."
... Wow, she was kind of hot, wasn't she.
"It is an extremely... voluminous undertaking."
I held the first issue of the manga when I was 12. I am almost 40 now. It's still going on.
to be fair if you have free time you can catch all the way up from chapter 1 within like a month, OP chapters aren't that long.
I made it to episode 513 in less than 3 months but the early seasons just dragged on and on and on (up until Luffy killed God)
I feel you have to do Chopper all 3 ways, CG for his reindeer scenes, a puppet for mascot mode, and a guy in a suit for his human mode.
I know you said you don't really remember a lot of aspects of One Piece, but to your comments regarding some aspects of the author not caring about certain aspects like how they get food, he does actually go into a lot of detail about it and is why the ship has the cook Sanji and the tangerine trees. A lot of time during their down time you also see them fishing or loading up on supplies between each island. They also do have a lot of money to buy whatever they need due to Nami being a thief.
One Piece is one of the few shows that really goes to fully express and explain every aspect of their world and it just feels a little shitty for it to ignored and tossed into the same box as everything else. Even the crew not doing "pirate" things is explained pretty well with the government aspects and how them doing whatever they want is highly illegal in their world.
the tangerines are actually great cuz obviously nami grew up in a tangerine grove so its carrying the memory of her mom and sister but also citrus fruits have nutrients to combat scurvy which is obviously a big danger on the sea, so oda's a god
Oh yeah, in One Piece just raising the Jolly Rodger is a crime against the government. Luffy's crew aren't pirates because they take things, they're pirates because they're radical anarchists who refuse to submit to the authoritarian state that controls nations around the globe.
Yep accurate
@@dracocrusher
As
I also feel that comment is sort of inconsistent to his earlier comments. Why is the specific reason why the Xmen exist is worth glossing over and not the day to day of an adventure show?
Honestly the only issue i have so far with the live action show is quite simple: no one laughs. Luffy might have a permanent shit eating grin, but thats it. Ussop never laughs to hide his fear, nami never laughs when she lets her guard down, zoro never laughs to show he's more than a stoic warrior, etc. etc.
Laughter is such a core emotion in One Piece, not just because its comedic, but because it reveals character. Who laughs at what, who makes who laugh all gives characters depth.
The live action crew is competently written, but they rely way too much on characters telling us their feelings and emotions to move character arcs along.
That is an interesting note.
But yeah, laughter seems important to Oda to the point that most, if not all, important characters have their own unique laugh.
It's a lot of people standing around talking.
I think Arlong's laugh made it in here and there.
Jesus loves You
That sounds like incompetent writing
I’m not a massive one piece fan but I feel like they’ve accurately handled the “what do they eat?” question throughout the series using Sanji’s cooking. I always assumed Sanji keeps a stocked pantry whenever they visit a new island. Seems pretty simple to me.
The Father and The Son and The Holy Spirit are God, they love you,
@kingcroc4034 Amen.
Never forget that even as a kid Sanji was an expert at preserving food and making rations last longer than they're supposed to. So Sanji could absolutely keep them going for way longer than you'd think on WAY less than you'd ever expect. He also makes it a policy to never waste food, so whatever they get is something Sanji's going to make 100% complete use out of no matter what.
I mean pirates in real life had to do with extreme food scarcity tbf.
@@shady8045 It's super worth noting that Sanji is like the only reason these guys can even survive. There is a point where Sanji gets separated from the rest of the crew, and when left alone Luffy nearly dies of Starvation within a day.
Sanji being a god-tier cook might unironically be the single biggest asset to their entire group! They can at least get by for a bit without a doctor, but without Sanji they'd be dead in a matter of hours!
Garp had the dog hat to hide his face in the coverstorys because Garp was a character oda had used in one of the versions the Romance Dawn prototype
Plus in that prototype he was Luffy's grandpa but wasn't a Marine, so Oda was trying to hide the fact that Garp is a Marine in the main series from anyone who might recognize him as Luffy's grandpa from the prototype
Any excuse to draw Nico Robin is more than welcome.
It's peak Alabasta Robin too🫡
Best girl ❤
God loves You
@@handlebarsmustache Agreed, but needs the Cowboy Hat.
Disagree could’ve drawn a character in season 1
I like the idea of Danny DeVito Chopper
I wonder if the Netflix show will go with the previous design for Robin, or will they go with the current design for her. I personally think that the previous version, as drawn here, is better. The darker skin tone really suits her, and her look added to her mystique.
Well, in her initial appearance she is a girl from the One Piece equivalent of the soviet border that just spent a fuckload of time in the middle of the desert, so the tan better be there.
Making her an iranian woman would be fantastic.
shes russian oda confirmed@@Melkac
Her dark skin tone was apparently never canon in the manga and merely a decision done by the anime team, not by Oda.
I also wish they had sticked with that design in the anime rather than de-tanning her without explanation.
So if Oda has any say in this, she probably will be played by a Russian with light skin.
But I share your sentiment, so if the life action were to take any (semi-)liberties here, this would be a nice touch.
I want them to find a good actress who fits Robin. The grim humor, the sophistication, softness for cute things.
Hit it right in the nail with your take on the actors, they definitely struggled portraying extreme emotions in certain scenes.
I feel like for Chopper they will do it like the deer child in Sweet Tooth and how they handled Arlong. Just get a little kid and give him a prosthetic nose and mouth and have him wear antlers (or even just the hat with antlers stuck to it). Then they can use a bodybuilder double for when he is in his full "human"/yeti form and have him dub the actor.
Chopper becoming cute is an oddly similar story to Iggy from JoJo part 3. When he first showed up he was a wrinkly realistic looking mutt, but then later he changed him to have more human like features to give him a readable expression
“This is an art channel” this is a dragon ball channel don’t be hiding your true flavours plague
22:00 ok I was getting a friend into one piece and they decided to watch it in english and I died of laughter when zoro does his three sword style because his voice actor literally talks like he has his mouth full which makes logical sense but man it took me by surprise.
The series addresses the whole piracy thing. Luffy wants to be King of the Pirates simply because he thinks Roger was the freest person in the world, and that means not having to abide by any rules. That alone makes you a pirate (he also ended committing a few VERY henious crimes along the way). And the reason why the setting is about 'pirates' (or rather people who sail the world in ships) is simply because the planet is mostly covered in water.
As someone who is only vaguely aware of one piece the most shocking thing to me was finding out it was not finished lol. I thought about trying to get into it but got intimidated by the length of it. And that's just from reading the manga and not touching the anime. But I'm glad one piece fans are getting something at least not terrible.
Great video as always.
I would highly recommend checking out the manga if you're ever interested. It's a surprisingly good read with the wildest part being that it's somehow still good and even the newest chapters are still dropping really cool emotional revelations that change how fans look at stuff that happened 10 years ago in the story.
It's also finally at least nearing something like a conclusion. After the current arc there's going to be one more and then we'll PROBABLY hit the final island before we just go for the big treasure and inevitably have a massive final arc war over it. So there's a weirdly realistic chance that if someone starts and goes at a steady pace, they could catch up right as we get into the final battle with all the revelations that's going to come with it. So that's something.
The show is slow. Be ready for that. It’s ok to skip repetitive recaps that fill runtime.
BIGGEST REVEAL "my Girlfriend" was that an accidental slip
Hearing Plague keeps up with One Piece is the wildest thing I've heard all year, and I've heard a lot of Pat takes.
Your Naruto video from several years ago is still one of the funniest things I've ever heard.
It's also one of his more off-base ones.
@@D-Havoc He does bring up good points - while you might disagree with what the main theme of the series is , Naruto is a pretty crappy protagonist. I got off the Naruto hype train after the n-th instance of "JK - he's not dead , it was an illusion".
Love you Plague, Nothing but the Best for You and the Misses, best wishes from Romania ... i'm the guy who pissed you off last year with the romanian accents when you were doing the Halloween Pricolici Episode 🤣🎃🙃
I'll be honest, I didn't expect this to be good at all, so I went in expecting a fun bad product. But I also needed it to get a S2 just to see live action Robin in the Alabasta fit. Cause holy shit, that and her Thriller Bark dress are PEAK Robin outfits.
Also, someone made a TikTok showing off the crew and used the Rock for Chopper. So now I need your Danny DeVito little Chopper and Rock "The Dwanye" Johnson for big Chopper.
You'd be forgiven for forgetting character names. You could populate an entire town solely with all the named characters in the show.
Giants are Dorry and Broggy, Doctor Kureiha is hot from neck down as she has proportions similar to Boa, minus massive chest.
I would argue you remember quite enough for average fan. Hell, you remembered who Bogard was. Or that he was at all
Also, Impel Down was first time we've seen devil fruit awaken, but those were failed awakenings. Zoan fruits can risk taking over the host if you fail to control them during awakening
I agree with glasses and Kuro thing. In manga he was doing that all the time, and it was meant to foreshadow that he was Kuro. It was Oda's one of the first attempts at foreshadowing really
The whole "moral ambiguity" of the setting went out the window once the Celestial Dragons were introduced anyway. Before that point you could make the argument that ultimately the Marines are the good guys and that the system just has some problems. But once you see the entire system from the top-down, no matter how good-intentioned the individual Marine like Garp, exists for the sole purpose of supporting the whims of these monsters who see themselves as above humanity (and Imu above them), then at that point no. I want the Revolutionary Army to win, maybe the good marines will create something good out of the ashes after everything is burned down.
Yeah its pretty clear that under tyranny there can be no "good cops/military." Even the most moral individuals are under the control of the amoral and thus enabling the immoral behavior they dislike making them hypocrites that simply exist to serve the status quo.
There's only so much leeway one can give their enemies. At a certain point a line is drawn & sides gotta be chosen.
One Piece might've lost its moral ambiguity over time but it's definitely embraced this latter idea.
@@Secret_Takodachi They COULD make an argument that the WG was needed after the horrors of the Void Century, except we're pretty damn sure that's not what happened and that's why the CD kill anyone that learns the truth of the Void Century.
Meh, One Piece is still a manga, which means that you know the twist will be that the Celestial Dragons are nitwits used to fund the super secret true purpose of the World Government. Nothing Shonen ever ends with people with money being the ultimate bad guy when there's a 90 year old man who can punch really good and talks about order vs chaos or whatever.
Funny that you bring up the live action series expanding on the koby/helmeppo cover story, because thats something the anime also did. It was just a few episodes, but it did alot to expand on their dynamic and their time training as marines. Wouldn't be too surprised if the live action pulled a bit from that.
The best Robin design. Just wish she kept the cowboy hat
Truth
I know you said you don't remember earlier one piece so that makes sense when you wondered what they do that's pirate like. They don't hurt anyone but they'll definitely steal. They just never had to kuz things were always given to them as gratitude. On Skypea, Luffy finds hella gold inside a snake and the crew wakes up early to steal it. The townsfolk see that the strawhats are leaving and they haven't given them anything other than food so they start chasing the strawhats to give them gold but the strawhats think they've been caught stealing so they run away. So the answer to how they fund themselves is they're always given rewards like how you said in your vid, but if they ran out for some reason, they aren't against stealing
Piracy from Luffy's perspective is the romance of adventure and discovery and the freedom that comes with such a life, cause his influence was Shanks. It ties back to one of the original concepts for the story where Garp was a pirate and how he explains there are two types, those who pillage and plunder and those who seek adventure. This is the type of pirate Luffy, Roger, and Shanks are. Piracy in the one piece world generally refers to sea-faring criminals overall as opposed to people who do piratey things like pillaging, and this is shown through the antagonist throughout the story. Lu
To be a pirate in the world of One Piece, above all else, just means you have decided you aren't going to play by the WG's rules.
They can use person with dwarfism. Just use Woman. with cute voice.. + Is that if we get couple more years she will still sounds and looks the same with makeup
As someone who knows some really basic stuff about the one piece universe and has only watched the live action series I'm not gonna judge you not remembering much.
I looked into getting into the show a decade ago and I found the entire thing way too long and intimidating at the time.
I think blackbeard is the most pirate like pirate in one piece which is probably intentional
My ultimate takeaway with the live action is that (1) sometimes you should just let animated stories stay in the flexibility of that medium instead of adapting it, and (2) even if the actors are trying their hardest, that can't account for all sorts of other issues sapping the show's quality, some of which goes back to point 1.
I fit your inquiry! East Blue was super goofy and unfocused. Fortunately I used the movies to catch up on those arcs. I used an episode guide to skip fillers up to and catch up on arcs up to Skypea. Solid pacing w/o the filler, does a fantastic job establishing the heart and makes you believe in Luffy's dream along with the new crew. Very much an "enjoy the journey" kind of situation. After Water 7, I had to go to the manga because at that point its so focused on the external conflict that it loses its strength in showing its heart. As a result, the pacing issues are waaaay more distracting. Overall One Piece is an alright series with PHENOMENAL moments and filled to the brim with heart. I would not be surprised to find that Oda is a people person because his character are incredibly likable while having their own personalities and goals.
22:25, "I would love to hear what he has to say about it." Well now I'm only thinking of him trying to say it with the sword in his mouth 😅
I was completely new to One Piece before the live action, and I got very attached to the vibe and the characters very quickly. Maybe it's just because so much of what's coming out of Hollywood these days is overly complicated and preachy (at best), but I had no idea just how much I was craving something good and kind and wholesome. It's simple, but deep. It's fun and childlike, but it's also honest and nuanced with its life lessons. The actors can be inexperienced at times, but they care so much about what they're doing and it shows. The show just encouraged me to turn off the critical part of my brain and enjoy something for once, and for that I'm very grateful.
Early on the money thing was more justified because it's like they get a bunch of money from the island Buggy raids, right? And then they go and save a rich girl who gives them a boat and some supplies, and then they have a whole adventure in Sky Island where they get a bunch of money from the city of gold, which actually comes into play in Water 7 because they basically have to pay for repairs and discuss the payment and stuff.
So yeah, that's all good enough. And then I don't remember a single time where they really had a big score after that point...? Like they get to Thriller Bark, pay for stuff in Sabaody, then Impel Down and the Paramount War happened, there was a time skip......... Maybe Brook's paying for stuff with his newfound musician fame, but other than that, you know...? Just never really comes up.
It does, in exactly the ways you brought up pre-TS. We are specifically shown how they're fed and funded post=Fishman Island and post-Punk Hazard. With Dressrosa it's actually the opposite, since they run away and shack up with Barto, but after that we are again shown them stocking up on Zou and the consequences of not having Sanji pre-WCI then post-WCI. After Wano we are once again shown them stocking up for the voyage. Plague is just straight up wrong here, as other commenters have noted.
Peter Dinklage in his bravest role yet....
I’m a huge One Piece fan and I’ve been trying to get my gf to begin the series for the better part of a year. The live action finally convinced her to begin reading the manga and she loves it.
This guy is the only American that I've heard say "manga" properly
It would be interesting to hear PoG break down the writer perspective of the power system of OP.
I like how this video turned into an One Piece story critic rather than just criticizing the live action. Im not a One Piece super fan as well and Im more excited with what the live action will do next. The one thing they'll fix though is the terrible pacing.
I saw you ask for t-shirt ideas, I would like a shirt with your furry bait Vicar Amelia painting from after the credits of your BLUDémon animation, as an idea. On mellow earthy tones fabric with no tag please.
If you haven’t found out yet, the dog hat was to hide the fact that he’s Luffy’s grandpa since he was in romance dawn with the exact same character and design
I think any series with a distinct / established artstyle to receive a live action series or a film is an insult since its clear by now that none of these would exist had Disney not made it aparent the average consumer cannot stop themselves from eating up anything associated with a brand they are familiar with.
Have you been playing GW2 at all recently? I was always kind of hoping to a followup to the Kormir video once the PoF thing came out. I'm sure there's, like, 4 other people who would totally be into a video on your GW2 times
I really miss old Robin design
When Chopper and Franky swap bodies, that's the moment to bring out the actor with dwarfism. Lean into that boston accent.
Thinking about the money needed, I think it would be better to have chopper as his most human form most of the time.
Though If I could wish for something, I'd love to see Chopper based on the tech used for Gollum.
I lost it at the chopper impression XD
I quite liked, even though expected to hate it by the trailer. I'm not too fond of how Nami's actress portraits her in most scenes (almost every line delivery is condensending), but it was fine overall.
A lot of changes and cuts were also good.
The biggest disappointment is the lack of Jango. Where's mah boi...
I agree with Geoff Thew: make Chopper a muppet!
24:44 Chopper was never horrifying. He was just not a merch machine in pre time skip
Pre time skip design was far superior.
Also Monster Point transformation was insane.
I agree with your stance on being able to translate characters in original situations but keeping true to what characters would do based off of pre-established material. This video was surprisingly positive. So I guess that's a testament to the series that you didn't do to it what you did in your Naruto video. You know, missing the forest for the trees.
- The old guy was Dr. Hiriluk. He was generally hated because he was a quack doctor who did nothing to help his patients, although he sincerely wanted to. His death inspired actual doctors to follow his principles (everyone deserves medical treatment), however the majority were held under duress by Wapol anyway for years.
- Going against the World Government and sailing wherever the hell you want is good enough to label you a pirate in One Piece's setting. Oda originally planned on making "types of pirates" (so Luffy would call himself a Peace-Main) but it's honestly less awkward to just imply that adventurers and treasure hunters are considered pirates as well.
- The crew fishing and eating weird creatures is actually a pretty frequent plot point, like Zoro and Sanji's hunting contest. Otherwise they usually just go "Sanji is in charge of stockpiling provisions", using left over treasure money. No idea how they keep Luffy fed.
Wooo Guild Wars 1 mentioned!
22:39 The best part of this is Zoro canonically doesn't even talk with his mouth when he's fighting in the manga. According to Oda, when someone asked "hey how does Zoro talk so clearly with a sword in his mouth", Oda said that, "when in 3-sword style, Zoro talks with his heart, not his mouth so everyone understands him." That is such a complete nonsense, Looney Toons answer that Oda clearly pulled out of his ass and yet at the same time you completely buy it because that's the kind of setting One Piece has. Nowadays you can probably chalk it up to him just using haki to communicate but that was a good answer for the time because someone having the will to do something in OP is just as if not more powerful than actually doing it. Willpower literally is magic in One Piece, as haki shows.
Who bought that answer? Who managed to hear a "don't think about it" joke and took it literally?
@@korstmahler You shouldn't buy it but Oda has on more than one occasion taken a bullshit joke answer and then actually did something later that made it make function that way through in-universe logic.
@@SeruraRenge11Totally. I could see him coming up with some kind of Haki based telepathy stand-in. "The Voice of All Things" indeed.😆
He gave a similar answer for how Luffy appeared to take damage from Nami punching and kicking him in comedy scenes despite being made of rubber and being immune to blunt damage. The answer he gave was Nami's punches hurt because they are made with love.
The real answer is because funny jokes, and I guess the retcon answer is because Nami is a selective haki prodigy I suppose.
@@jjj7790 Funny to think that just getting mad at Luffy's enough to build true Haki in someone for a brief instant 😄
16:34 great video but I feel like one piece very pirate! It’s just isn’t conventional to what we see pirates as so it doesn’t feel like what we think a pirate story should feel like. Or at least that’s how it is for me.
I'd watch the hell out of an 'Eli tries to remember arcs of One Piece' series
Chopper needs to be a muppet
Regarding chopper this RUclipsr "mother's basement" ... had the ideea to use a Muppet
Elli sounds like Mihawk, I have this drawing as my wall paper, and I stopped watching the Netflix adaptation when they got to the bar and Zoro gave the worst line delivery I ever heard since Ada in RE4RE
Respect for knowing Nico Robin is the best
Regarding Garp's Dog hat: In the one shot before One Piece Monsters (edit Actually Wanted! is the one with Luffy and Garp not monsters which is the Ryuma story) Garp is a pirate and luffys grandpa. Since he had the same design Oda hid the fact that he was luffys grandpa in OP by giving him the dog hat then making him remove it for the reveal. Because we know who he is already there's no reason to keep the dog hat even though he does keep the dog aesthetic for his ship
Still waiting for my favorite internet weirdo to draw Y'shtola in one of these
Bogard was named in both anime and Manga
Remember when sanji learned how to fly by running from gay people
The One Piece Netflix show shows that it is possible to make a good live-action adaptation. Also, while the show has a lot of diversity and some of the race swapping (for example, I don't remember Nami's sister being black in the anime) they did isn't cringe, it is not in your face with it or even points it out. It's like in the real world. People of so many different shades, races, cultures, etc. exist and it is nothing to be angry or happy about. It just is. And yes, there will always be people that will hate on diversity, but when a show is done well and the diversity is done like this, it makes it even harder for anyone to agree with those miserable individuals.
But its not actually good (its average, sets are probably the best thing about the show) and the race swaps arent representative of either the real world nor, more importantly THE CHARACTERS WORLD.
But it is proof that netflix wont completely fuck up a show from the start... but Witcher mostly started off like that too.
I started watching One Piece two months ago. My jaw was on the floor. I neither knew just how colorful and funky the characters were in the show nor how much diversity was in it.
I love it.
To be honest Nojiko is a character who you could race swap and it wouldn't affect anything really. I was fine with it (they are both orphans and not related by blood after all). If i was annoyed at anything it was that she didn't know what Nami was up to all those years when she does in the original, but that's more a nitpick than anything.
I hope Chopper is just just a random guy with a brown shirt
I would die if that is the case
I want Chopper to be played by a child in a reindeer fursuit
I want The Rock to play Chopper and Danny Devito to play Kaido 😤😤
Danny DeVito should play chopper.
31:30 Anyway when fighting it was clear that Kaku was still a noobie with his fruit, remember when he tries to hit Zoro by compress and then violently release his neck but he make his arms and legs extend by mistake. I hope Netflix will show that scene, it's hilarious
"... Pasta Machine"
@@SilvrSavior Never watched that scene in english, thank you
Im glad people are enjoying it and while im sure it has some positives the fact that the manga still exists and netflix's habit of dropping shows instantly i dont feel much inclination to look at it. I feel that way for most adapatations of things that are already pretty good. Glad that people who are actual fans of the manga are finding some enjoyment out of it
Robin's anger at the destruction of archaeological history is something I can get behind.
I can barely stand to read how badly we in the real world have treated ancient discoveries.
Imagine discovering dozens, even a hundred mummified human bodies, and saving only 5 you like, and burning the rest as firewood.
That's a paraphrasing of a real event, people literally burned human bodies and the history with them as firewood.
That's when those same era people weren't mashing them up into paste and rubbing it on themselves to cure things.
I wish I was joking.
Archeology is the primary study of how much someone can handle old people exploding invaluable historic artifacts with TNT because they didn't want to dig the fucking ruins out of the ground.
I wish I was joking as well, it's pain dude, PAIN.
i just fear 1 thing and is the character growing up too quickly like what happend on stranger things
RUclips unsubscribed me from your channel for some reason, thought you were dead.
YOU KEEP UP WITH THE MANGA ?!?!
Watched the live-action with my partner, who had no prior exposure to One Piece that I know of. She loved it. I think she really enjoyed the characters and the weird, fantastical nature of the world. Both of our biggest criticism was that the CGI was weird at times.
One of my favorite things was how they handled Zoro. He initially comes off as just an edgelord, and over time we get enough glimpses of him to realize that he’s just as much a weirdo as the rest of the cast.
The leaking ship scene was absolutely hilarious in how Zoro refused to elaborate as to why he thought there was a toilet on the ship.
Joe Pesci as Choppa
Kuro had something weird going on with his lips.
Also his chin. Like it was bigger and more defined than even the actor's actual chin was. It made that part of his face look a bit fake and disproportinally big. Something with the make up is my guess.
On your saying of "It doesn't matter what happens in the timeline, it's what you do with your characters and where they go" I'm fully resonating with this way of thinking. I did the suffering that is experience Rising of the Shield Hero in the light novel, manga, and anime mediums and each one is different enough to go insane over the deviations. What matters are the hardline timeline events have to go a certain way, that's it.
To answer some of your manga questions
1. The Awakened zoan jail guards at Impel Down are actually regular humans that ate devil fruits. Instead of achieving true Awakening, they could only manage false Awakenings. Chopper's Monster Point is essentially this condition.
2. Remember it has been 2 years since we last saw characters like Crocodile, Lucci, or Kaku. They didn't spend all that time sitting around with their thumbs in their ass. Just like how the Strawhats trained, they did as well.
Well we have seen crocodile , Kaku and Lucci since the time jump and you are not wrong .......
Hello, can't wait to hear your review. Just finished it myself with my wife (a person who doesn't like or care about anime) and I was super surprised how much she loved it. Overall had a wonderful experience through out and had moments we paused for me to explain to her questions she had at the time
Folks he’s lying about what this channel really is…..it’s a Dragon Ball Z channel. On GAWG I swear.
Im lrettt excited about the next season honestly. I feel like the pacing in the live action was almost perfect. Everything moved rather quickly and they did a lot in the 8 or 9 episodes. I was pretty satisfied with it.
My mother (55) has no experience with anime/manga at all and after watching the LA series and loving it, she started reading the manga because she wanted to know what comes next. Time will tell if she'll stick with it though, but I hope so.
I don't care if Robin being brown was a Toei invention and not canon, SHE WAS DELICIOUS BROWN TO ME DAMNIT
You could have kept each of the hand poses you were trying with Robin and it would still be an accurate picture of her.
Chopper should be a Muppet
Why not a rl racoon with horns and a hat?
Correct take
They had to like come up with a different term for like the wholesome pirates, there's like the evil pirates that you're imagining, then there is the more like treasure hunter pirates they say
Never mind that we called him the same thing
Something like a privateer, freebooter or plunderer. I guess in their world, anyone not serving the world government directly is labeled "terrorist."
@@PlagueOfGripesIt actually existed in a REALLY early version of One Piece, I think it was Wanted! but basically the Luffy-type fun adventure pirates were known as Peace-Mains, and the Blackbeard type pillage and murder pirates were Morganeers, I think the government still saw both as terrorists but pirate to pirate interaction was a lot more clearly dictated by what kind of pirate crew you were.
@@skeletingking yep but Oda scrapped that idea
Vagabond Philanthropists. Like Witchers, but somehow, even more broke.
@@skeletingking Romance Dawn I think. Luffy was also highly educated as a mouthpiece for pirate lore. That changed quickly.
Great, now I want Danny devito chopper...
I need this in my life.
I think in the OP world "Pirate" is basically like being a "Sovereign Citizen" in our world. Because if you don't bend over and let the World. Gov ream your freedom, that makes you a "Pirate" in the eyes of the wider world.
So when Luffy says *"I'm gonna be King of the Pirates"* he's really saying *"I'm going to be King of the Sea Gypsies"*
With the manga, at the start of several chapters, there's a single panel depicting a scene and Oda tells a side story over several chapters about older characters. Enel/Eneru the big bad of Skypiea has a side story about his trip to and on the moon.
Coby and Helmeppo had one such story where they end up training with Garp after Ax hand Morgan tries to escape. So when they reappear in Water Seven there's a payoff for those who noticed it. The Anime used to cover such side stories but it's not as common later on.
Eli, I'm curious if you've ever seen the Speed Racer 2008 movie. I feel like that's probably the best adaptation of a relatively goofy anime source material into live action that I've ever seen, but I'm curious what your thoughts on it would be
I tried for a long time to keep up with One Piece but I couldn't anymore. Last thing I got to was when they first arrived on Cake Island, and Nami told Luffy not to run off, and then he immediately does it.
If you were watching the anime, that is a great spot to swap to the manga because the pacing slows to a crawl. I would still go back to the anime to watch the fight scenes, because buhgawd they put the stank on it!
@@unosamiX I do wanna continue with it so that might be a good idea. The sanji backstory is something I wanna see unfold. I just couldn't take the constant 5 min of recapping previous episodes every single time and blue balling the fuck out of shit.
Whole Cake Island is fucking awful anime pacing wise. You could switch to the manga, but there's always One Pace, the edited down version of the anime. iirc One Pace literally saves like a little over 1000 minutes worth of time compared to Toei's shenanigans.
I suppose Chopper could be a hybrid effect, but then I think about how his battle mode is already an uncanny fursuit muscle man and I can help but think how dialogue scenes would play out with some full prosthetic wrestler delivering his lines.
I never properly watched OP. My friend group has a lot of fans of the anime, but I personally never got past the where the Netflix ended Season 1 (and some random episodes my roommate was watching), and even that was years and years ago. I never clicked with the art style and I just can't handle how god-awfully slow and repetitive the pacing of the anime is.
Personally - I really liked it. if they continue, this will be my main venue to watch the show. Sanji is my favorite, being a flirt, but not a creepy anime perv. Zoro, Grandad and Mihawk were really cool. You are right, that Luffy seems like the most awkward of the crew, but he's also dealing with the most wacky cartoon character personality. I think he just needs to tone down the smile a little, to not look as psychotic. And in general it feels good to have episode where *shit happens* and they don't explain attacks for 3 minutes.
My friends seemed to have enjoyed it a lot, they said the villains transferred well and in general everyone had a great time.
There's a fan edition of one piece that is easily download able, it's called one pace you can Google it. It trims all the fat and makes the pacing much better while still not missing anything essential and making transitions so smooth they're unnoticeable. If you ever pick up the series again that's the best way to watch it imo
I personally hope chopper would just be a Muppet. Just cartoonishly out of place Muppet reindeer running around with everyone
"afghan" conflict. Not "afghani". afghani is the name of money not people or a region.
Everyone seems to forget that Chopper has a humanoid form. They can introduce him as his cute little form but spend most of the series in his human form which could easily be an actor in prosthetics.
Yeah, but keeping him in his humanoid form all the time doesn’t feel the same level as true to the original One Piece that the creators of the LA seem to be shooting for. Plus, Baby Yoda is huge, so there is precedent for having a cute animatronic/puppet front and center on a streaming show.
