I LOVE how people who are watching this for the first time just instantly *get* it. "I love the smile", "That is just fun!", "I love how goofy this looks.", "Im not gonna question it..." and oh my god, the Looney Tunes comment. Really speaks volumes how good of a show this is and how well you understand themes lol
@@MikeyVenture Hi fellow, I don't know if anybody already answer to your questioning, but Captain Morgan had his jaw completly broken and his arm taken by the pirate Captain Kuro wich he did claimes that he defeated and executed.And that was the reasoning why he took the captain place of this base by promotion. (I'll explain a bit more later when you react to the fourth episode)
@@MikeyVentureThat is pretty much all of One Piece in a nutshell. Chaotic and Goofy but with so much passion and heart poured into it, that its hard notr to smile along with the characters.
Obviously I don't have a comparison, but I agree with everyone they have cast has put on amazing performances. I might give a few episodes a glance after finishing the season because I'm curious on their portrayal in comparison
@@MikeyVenture This live action series is actually based off the manga, which has some significant differences from the opening of the anime. Both are really fun. If you watch the anime, it really has to be the original Japanese for script and scene continuity reasons. Plus the performances and delivery are incredible. This world has more lore than anything in existence, it's nuts. There is no good English dub of the anime, sadly.
Subscribed! Your reaction is so fun. You subconsciously picked up on everything that's really important about the characters, especially Luffy. and you made me laugh along with you. 😁
From what I've seen, this adaptation closely adapts the manga more than the anime, and every little deviation from the story was personally approved from the original creator of the series, Oda
Some things are getting skipped or changed in this adaptation but honestly they're not really that important (looking at them in retrospective) so it's fine. Besides.... A lot of Things are bound to change from Animation to Live-action for the adaptation to be effective anyway.
@@MikeyVentureOne of the biggest changes in the first episode is the inclusion of Zoro's fight with Mister Seven, which was never shown in any version of the story and alludes to plotlines that Oda probably may not have even come up with at the time... but based on a regular Q&A that Oda did, we've known that the fight did in fact happen for a long time, and when images from that fight were shown in trailers and people familiar with the Q&A content realized what it was, it was hype.
I'm sad this doesn't have more views yet. I think you're an underrated reactor. This show is great, and if you want more great music, fun moments, and heart, I think you should keep going.
I appreciate that! It’s starting to pick up some steam after a slow start. This isn’t the usual type of show I watch on my channel, so it’s going to take some time, but I’ve been loving interacting with the fandom!
@@MikeyVentureEpisodes 3 and 4 are the low point of the show, but after 5 until the end it's just a blast. They change a lot of things from the anime/manga, but usually in a smart way and keeping the soul of the original material.
If you want my 2 cents as a first time viewer I enjoyed your reactions but since I listen more than watch (usually put on this kind of YT video in the background while doing something else) I didn't love how the volume on what you were watching was always turned down. Unless I was looking directly at the screen I didn't know what scene you were reacting to. You also mentioned music a lot but I couldn't hear it (and while I've seen the show I don't remember the score super well so it'd have been nice to have a boost there). Not sure if you always do it this way but it's just something to consider when making future videos. Good luck!@@MikeyVenture
Watching people new to One Piece react to the casual weirdness of One Piece is my new favorite hobby. As a huge fan of the anime and manga, I can confirm that this is not only a fantastic adaptation, but a fantastic show in general. It's definitely what I'll be using in the future to introduce people to One Piece who don't want to commit to the anime. Really hoping to see more. :)
@@MikeyVenture Good to hear! By the way, your question has probably been answered by now, but just in case it hasn't, the first season covers roughly the first 44 episodes of the anime and the first 95 chapters of the manga. And is surprisingly well-paced in spite of that.
The anime and this have significant differences, but the personalities are very much intact. What this episode covered ends up covering the main points of the first three episodes of the anime, along with half of the first known segment of Luffy's backstory, which originally is a full episode in itself. For instance, Nami didn't meet them originally other than a glimpse of each other as they both fled at the same time in the anime. So, they're speeding that up. Basically, lots of changes to the story... while keeping the characters in character and making sure the changes make sense for the characters involved.^_^
Congratulations Mikey, you are now part of a vastly large community. Oh and the sword style that Zoro uses is called "Santoryu" which literally means Three Swords Style.
Re: your comments at the end - I think this adaptation is actually a GREAT way to introduce yourself to this world. By the nature of manga, a lot of the plotlines were sort of stream-of-consciousness where it would take Oda a while to realize he wanted to bring back a character or give someone a particular arc. Because the live action was made with Oda's direct involvement, it's speculated that a lot of the plotlines they introduce earlier here are things Oda would have done earlier if he'd thought of them earlier.
World terminology note: The Navy is the organization, a Marine is a soldier within the Navy. Calling someone a Marine Captain or a Navy Captain are both correct, saying "The Navy" or "The Marines" when referring to organizational movement is effectively interchangeable. As for Axe-hand Morgan's jaw, the show doesn't establish this but it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference in the manga: his jaw was shattered in the battle with Captain Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates, the same battle that cost him his right hand. Both the axe and the jaw are prosthetics he got.
The thing about One Piece is on a episode by episode basis, it is often a quite simple story of a goofy kid who wants to be the pirate king and the things he ends up running into. Then on a much larger basis, the story is sooooo complex with one of the most intricate worlds ever built. Watching and unravelling this story while enjoying the episodes is one of the reasons OP has thrived even after 1000+ chapters/episodes. You are at the start of an incredible journey. I am jealous you get to experience it fresh. Sail on oh Strawhat Mikey. Edit: The Live Action covers about 40 episodes of the anime and about 100 chapters of the manga. Edit 2: In Japanese phones are called Denwa and snails are called DenDen Mushi. So the author as a pun put the two together. He often has these work tricks in the story.
Yeah, in lore the snails are psysic - that's how they can mimic people's voices across vast distances. In the anime they take on the characteristics of the person at the other end when connected (similar to but not quite a video phone) but in the live action they have their owner's characteristics, hence the beard for Garps phone and the metal jaw on Morgan's.
This is my first experience with One Piece too, I watched this just to be sure if the show is for me. And now, I might watch more due to the look alone
Oh yeah the visual aesthetic is very appealing, and there’s so much great attention to detail. I was noticing all these small things while I was editing
Same for me, the anime has way to many episodes to tackle at the moment,so I'm just watching this. That said, this is one of the best live action adaptations of anything I've ever seen. It's perfect. I'll admit when they broke the curse, I cried a little.
Yeah I’ve seen quite a few live action adaptations of anime, and haven’t loved any of them. Cowboy Bebop was upsetting 😢 But so far I’m really liking the vibe of this one!
this take is weird to me, what do the episode numbers have to do with anything, at that point you dont want to actually experience the story you just want to catch up to the current stuff, but you do you
@@booga324i mean... if he watched the anime for reaction vids on this channel, with the number of eps, it's gonna take up his vid slot for YEARS. And some people would just... rather watch other things instead of a thousand sth ep anime. So yeah the number of eps does matter to some
That is actually a thing, pirate often couldn't swim. Although in this case there's an actual reason beyond just pirate lore. "I like this actor" Oh yeah Inaki has big Luffy energy. I think he still struggle a bit in very serious scenes (although the dialogue is more often at fault than the actor) but he's about as perfect a cast as you can get for Luffy. "great casting" Helmeppo is absolute perfection in term of casting. He's not as important as some other well cast character but he's definitely in my top in a series where almost everyone is super well cast. "why would she tell him her real name" cause a first name isn't going to get him anywhere, and when you have to improvise on the spot, it's always better to tell the part of the truth that you can afford to tell. "is there a reason for this? (the jaw)" Yes but it's never explained in the live action and it's a spoiler for Episode 3/4 so spoiler alert for those two episodes: - - - - - - - - - Just as you were talking about his jaw he said he defeated the black cat pirates and their captain Kuro. In the anime, Kuro used a body double to fake his arrest but in the manga it's a bit more complicated: He had a first mate who was a hypnotist. So he basically killed Morgan's entire marine squadron and beat the shit out of morgan, cut off his hand and broke his jaw, but then he asked his first mate to hypnotise him so he'd believe he beat up and arrested Kuro (the fake one who was also hypnotised to believe they were the real Kuro). That's how Kuro originally faked his death. The live action is mostly the same minus the hypnotist (although you can see his wanted poster in Episode 1, he's the one named "Jango").
Six months ago: "I won't watch the anime." "Not on this channel." And now he's reached past the Live Action! There is no return once you get on board. 🏴☠
I’ve seen a little bit of the anime before this, and I watched with some friends who are super fans of the series, and we all enjoyed it. Cool to see you trying it out too
Yeah it seems both fans and newcomers are all enjoying it, and that’s such a difficult thing to do with an adaptation for something so popular and loved by many
I've been enjoying newcomers fall down the One Piece rabbit hole. I've been a fan since the anime started twenty years ago and they really captured the fun of the series. If you decide to do more of these, you could probably even do one episode every 2 weeks. You have plenty of time since it will be at least 2 years before we could even get a season 2 because of the writer's strike.
Wow I can’t believe it’s been 20 or so years haha. That’s super impressive honestly. And yeah, I’ve been dealing with a lower back injury so recording and editing has been a painful process atm. I’ll get these out when I can
The music is really good in this adaptation. It’s one of my favourite parts of the anime as well (they have specific songs for badass sequences so you just know it’s gonna be epic when the music starts). There was an Easter egg for a specific later plot in one of the songs they’re playing in this episode. It’s pretty deep into the story so we might not ever see it, but I loved how they put that nod in and in the background music no less. The level of detail is insane.
Love your reaction! Yes, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, was heavily involved in creating the Live Action series. From discussions with the directors, overseeing slight revisions in the story, to coordinating camera angles and selecting the cast. "One Piece" is an unparalleled narrative masterpiece that weaves a tapestry of hope, camaraderie, and resilience. At its core, it's a story of relentless dream-chasing, encapsulated in the unyielding determination of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew. Their quest for the elusive One Piece treasure takes them through a world teeming with fantastical islands, formidable adversaries, and profound mysteries. It's a story that resonates deeply, for it embodies the universal yearning for a better future, the courage to confront one's inner demons, and the unwavering belief that, no matter the odds, dreams are worth pursuing. Through its richly developed characters and the bonds that strengthen with every challenge, "One Piece" reminds us that true wealth isn't found in riches alone but in the profound connections we forge and the indomitable spirit that propels us forward on our own grand adventures. "One Piece" reminds us that in the pursuit of our dreams, we discover the heart's true compass, pointing us towards a future where we can be unapologetically ourselves and share that journey with those who become our family along the way.
I am so happy that this has become number 1 in 48 countries and those who don't watch or like anime can like this series because that's the most important thing how to get those who don't know
Different mediums for the same franchise is mostly always a good thing because it throws a wider net out there for people to potentially get into something. This show seems like a huge win!
So far I'm only 20:33 into this video, but i had to pause to comment. Its so funny to me you commented about it looking like Brazil. The creator of One Piece said that if this took place in our world, he imagined Luffy would be from Brazil. And in Luffy's opening scene, he comments that it was only his first day, so he wouldn’t have been out sailing for long. So wherever his home island is from, I imagine its close to where this island is.
Thank you for the reaction enjoyed it a lot, I loved the series as much as the anime I hope they make season 2, can't wait to see more of your reactions.
Thanks for watching! I’ve recorded the first three episodes, so I’ll at least be getting those uploaded. But the first video is doing pretty alright, so I might be doing the whole season!
Yesss!! Been a long time One Piece Fan, caught up in the manga and everything, and I'm stoked to see you covering this!! I love it so far (6 episodes in) and I'm overall just stoked they put so much love into it - it's not perfect and I think the anime is still obviously much better (I mean animation in general tends to be Imo) but this is a great love letter to the source material and I hope it gets even more people interested in the incredible story
Idk if anybody told you yet, but yeah Transponder snails are telepathic and connect to others and are modified with phone parts to talk to other people, they have the power to mimic voices and they tend to look like their owners hence the beard
Not really a spoiler but since it isn't ever really explained in the live action those snails are called transponder snails. They have the ability to communicate with each other using telepathic communication over great distances. Humans have found a way to harmlessly attach gear to them to turn them into communication devices/phones. Even in the anime I don't remember them explaining how transponder snails actually work, one day I was just curious and googled it. But I think One Piece has a nice way of making snails look cute, cool, and more appealing to look at much like Spongebob and Amphibia had cute/cool snail designs.
I'm in a similar boat, prefer live action, avoided the anime forever (avoided all anime in general really). I've got friends who've been telling me for years to get into it but 1k episodes is daunting and I'm just not a huge fan of animation. But after binging this entire show in one day, I finally dipped my toes into the anime. Already like 60 episodes in, and I gotta admit it's pretty damn good, the universe is just so unique and interesting
The word on captain Morgan’s chin is “Möwe” which is German for seagull :) I watched this last week with my mom - we both haven’t seen much of the source material (her even less so than me) and it was an absolutely awesome experience! I’m still periodically singing the main theme to myself all the time :D
The marine base scenes were shot in a real naval fortress in Italy 😊 and the first season covers 44 episodes of the anime, but it is actually an adaptation of the manga.
28:00 they dont explain it in the live action (and its just hinted at in the anime backstory). The black cat pirates broke his jaw (and hand and most of his body) when Morgan (not a captain at the time) "captured" the black cat captian. I believe that it was so broken they just gave him a jaw brace, like they gave him a "new hand"
I did the same i knew what the anime was but never wanted too watch it due too it being 1000+ episodes so im glad this live action came out ive fully watched it and its so good Also funfact this live action took around 5 years too make
I’ve only watched around 80 episodes of the anime before I kind of quit. It just didn’t work for me, even though there were a couple arcs that hit me hard. However, I really enjoyed the Live Action, I actually spent all last night binging it. I think it’s biggest strong suit is that it doesn’t take itself super seriously. It doesn’t feel dark and gritty, it’s having a fun time. I mean, you can actually see what’s happening in scenes that take place at night! What a concept! Yeah the stretch cgi can look a little goofy but genuinely, I think it adds to the charm. The cast look like they’re having a blast. And I believe they did most if not all their own fighting and stunts. There’s a lot of love and passion put into this and I really hope we get a season 2. And I hope you’ll continue checking it out.
That’s what I’m loving about it so far too! It’s embracing that goofiness and fun, and it’s just very charming. It’s doing very well in terms of trending on Netflix, and many people seem to be enjoying it, so it’s looking good for the potential of a season 2
There is a reason why millions of people have watched over a thousand episodes of the anime, read over a thousand episodes of the manga. The reason is the story is superb. Oda has perfected the art of storytelling in our age. It is a story everyone can enjoy. A story that brings moments of dread, fear, plenty moments of tears, but a lot of happiness and joy.
Cool to see you reacting to this, its an excellent adaptation. I'd recommend finishing the season even if its not on the channel if you liked the first ep.
You don't need to see the anime. Definitely consider the manga though - it'll go by quicker, and it's better. The Live Action is more faithful to the manga than the anime is in many cases, and we're grateful for that. Lot of things that are super gruesome in the manga got toned down for the anime, but they changed it back here.
It's so much fun to see not-yet one piece fans react to that show and getting the vibe and emotions of it (and they did a great job to get this special and emotional atmosphere from the manga/anime to the live action ❤️) I love you hyping up the score and can so relate to that. Music is such a important part of transporting emotions and setting an atmosphere and is sadly a bit overlook from most watchers. Sony Belousova & Giona Ostinelli nailed it and she has interesting behind the scene videos here on RUclips about the composing process and teh thoughts for all the themes.
SNAILS LORE not sure if this is considered a spoiler, so I'll space it out The writer didn't want to give the world radios, cuz that would raise too many questions about what other tech they have. Phones and telegraphs would make no sense, as the entire world is islands, and wires would be super expensive to put everywhere. So he figured it out... PSYCHIC SNAILS!!!
Thanks for the reaction! Nice to see new comers to One Piece! One aspect I do think got lost in the prologue is that piracy was about freedom and adventure not plundering people. At least, that's what I got from it. Thank you also for highlighting the score. It's wonderful throughout this season!
I love watching the One Piece newbies react to Luffy's stretchiness. I hadn't even considered that new viewers might not know about Luffy's power. XD Don't get me wrong-I'm not even close to a proper One Piece fan. I only watched the first 125 episodes of the anime.* But between that and just existing in the anime fandom space, I've taken a lot of OP knowledge for granted. Like, "Of course Luffy is essentially made of rubber. Everyone knows that, just like everyone knows that Superman can fly. And everyone knows how Zoro fights with three swords at once, just like everyone knows that Luke Skywalker has a lightsaber." Yeah, not everyone knows these things. And that makes these reactions extra delightful. :D *I'm trying the anime again now, from the beginning. I really, really enjoyed this live action adaption, and I want more of the story. I can't wait until they make a second season of this version.
lol I'm catching your reactions after you started reacting to One piece so I know you are definitely going to lve the anime. I'm a huge fan of the anime! I never bothered with the live action, so It's interesting watching it with you.
me seeing this on my recommended: omg yay more first timer reactions! title: i'm not gonna watch the one piece anime (opens your channel) first thing: **one piece episode 64 and 65 review** YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME AFTER WATCHING THE LIVE ACTION LOLOLOL
In the context of the show, Luffy not being able to swim has its own reason. In context of history: That was A THING. Pirate crews often went out of their way to recruit people who didn't know how to swim or weren't very good at it, especially when they were planning on taking on and capturing a bigger better-armed vessel than they currently had... which would almost guaranteedly sink their current vessel in the process. The logic was swimming-unskilled pirates would choose to fight like hell in the boarding action combat for a more salient chance of survival rather than try and swim for it or stay on a sinking ship and almost guaranteedly drown because of their poor/nonexistent swimming skill.
@@MikeyVenture It definitely has been the only Anime series that could stay part of my life after 20 years of being a fan. Others came close, but for example, after Naruto Shippuden ended, I didn't feel up to watching Boruto. In Bleach, after the Aizen ark ended, bleach ended there for me. A few Anime, I made it to the end, but they were much shorter. One Piece has never felt tired or old, I always am on the edge of my seat, screaming at the Calendar. （not literally, but that intensity of excitement)
He kinda got a broken/disfigured jaw or something like that after fighting the black cat pirates... this info from the manga got cut Ps: It's not a spoiler since he did mention he fought the so called pirate
As someone who does watch the anime. I would like to recommend you watch it in your own time. Not for reaction videos but just to compare with the live action and get some more context after you finish the live action stuff.
19:13 funny thing is, you wouldn't DARE say THAT to his face, would you now big man? 24:20 No dude, YOU are all talk, and what a reaction this is, I love how into this you get.
Most of the time, sailors couldn't swim. The logic was that if your ship was destroyed in battle then it was better to drown than be captured by the enemy
My best friend won't watch the anime but she loves the live action and wants like 50 seasons I'm caught up on the anime the live action is really good so far
If you like kickass fight scenes with awesome music attached then you've got to give RWBY a try. It's an animated web series that looks like an anime but is produced in the states by a company called Rooster Teeth. It has nine volumes/seasons and they're under 20 episodes so it wouldn't take long to catch up. Just a heads up though, the animation style is a bit off in the earlier seasons since they had hardly a budget to work with at first but it does get better as the show progresses and in the fourth volume they switch from Poser to Maya engine. If you do want to give it a try through you've got to start with the four trailers. They are known as the Red, White, Black and Yellow trailers.
Anime has some of the best violence really? This live action is done really well not over the top with blood only when necessary it's a win for me good show 👌
ah i see your background man, so i mean i see your background. makes me excited for your reaction to this! as i say to everyone who hasnt seen the anime, dont mind the anime or fans for now. make this journey(series) your own man. enjoy!
I was rly surprised at how good and high budget this live action was. Being a long time anime and manga fan. I've seen many live actions flop miserably due to low budget, weird casting choices and some even butchering the original source material. This includes both western made live actions and even the ones from japan. One piece live action actually has heart put into it and a deep respect to it's sourcr material
Interestingly enough, although they do explain why Luffy can't swim, pirates in the olden days rarely had good swimming skills. It was considered bad luck for a sailor to swim against the sea, because that meant she had a taste for you and will eventually claim you, so for a long time in history sailors viewed swimming in the sea as a taboo and didn't have swimming skills as a requirement to board a ship.
The Live Action covers the first 44 chapters of the manga and 95 episodes of the anime. So it's actually not even 1/10 of the source materials. But they did a good job. Hoping for a new season already
Yeah I can’t imagine how difficult of a task it is for the writers to pick and choose what they include in this adaptation, but from what I’ve heard from a couple of friends who have seen and read the manga, they seem to be doing a decent job so far
I only watched a few random episodes of one piece when it was on tv but I never watched it because I just couldn't get into the art style of it and also of course the amount of episodes. So this live action version is perfect for me and I loved it a lot! Can't wait for a season two and also to watch your reactions to it!
Man, I have been friends with someone whose been a fan since day 1, and I still dont fully understand the snails, it's just one of those pieces of worldbuilding that just shows how creative Oda-sensei can be.

only thing i don’t like about luffy (and it’s more of a writing thing than a casting thing) is that he keeps saying he’s a “different kind of pirate”
As a MASSIVE one piece nerd i can tell your gonna love this! Trust me there a reason why people would watch over 1000 episodes of the tv show
You make very good points!
I love how you literally asked, "He's made out of rubber. How did that happen?"

Luffy is the definition of Toxic Positivity 😂
The music is lovely. When Bink's Sake/Brew kicks in (it is from the anime, plays when Shanks is stitching up Luffy's eye) it makes grown men cry
From what I've seen, this adaptation closely adapts the manga more than the anime, and every little deviation from the story was personally approved from the original creator of the series, Oda
Getting the approval from the series creator is always a great sign!
Some things are getting skipped or changed in this adaptation but honestly they're not really that important (looking at them in retrospective) so it's fine.
Besides.... A lot of Things are bound to change from Animation to Live-action for the adaptation to be effective anyway.

@@MikeyVentureOne of the biggest changes in the first episode is the inclusion of Zoro's fight with Mister Seven, which was never shown in any version of the story and alludes to plotlines that Oda probably may not have even come up with at the time... but based on a regular Q&A that Oda did, we've known that the fight did in fact happen for a long time, and when images from that fight were shown in trailers and people familiar with the Q&A content realized what it was, it was hype.
@@MikeyVenture Oda (the creator) also approved the cast, explicitly.
"I'm not gonna question it."
That is in fact the best way to watch One Piece lol
I'm sad this doesn't have more views yet. I think you're an underrated reactor. This show is great, and if you want more great music, fun moments, and heart, I think you should keep going.
I appreciate that! It’s starting to pick up some steam after a slow start. This isn’t the usual type of show I watch on my channel, so it’s going to take some time, but I’ve been loving interacting with the fandom!
@@MikeyVentureEpisodes 3 and 4 are the low point of the show, but after 5 until the end it's just a blast. They change a lot of things from the anime/manga, but usually in a smart way and keeping the soul of the original material.
@rogeriojow I politely disagree, but to be fair I understand why some don't like the changes in those episodes.
If you want my 2 cents as a first time viewer I enjoyed your reactions but since I listen more than watch (usually put on this kind of YT video in the background while doing something else) I didn't love how the volume on what you were watching was always turned down. Unless I was looking directly at the screen I didn't know what scene you were reacting to. You also mentioned music a lot but I couldn't hear it (and while I've seen the show I don't remember the score super well so it'd have been nice to have a boost there). Not sure if you always do it this way but it's just something to consider when making future videos. Good luck!@@MikeyVenture
Watching people new to One Piece react to the casual weirdness of One Piece is my new favorite hobby. As a huge fan of the anime and manga, I can confirm that this is not only a fantastic adaptation, but a fantastic show in general. It's definitely what I'll be using in the future to introduce people to One Piece who don't want to commit to the anime. Really hoping to see more. :)
@@MikeyVenture Good to hear! By the way, your question has probably been answered by now, but just in case it hasn't, the first season covers roughly the first 44 episodes of the anime and the first 95 chapters of the manga. And is surprisingly well-paced in spite of that.
Here for it too my brother 💯🔥
I’m 400 episodes into the anime and I loved this adaption. The first season of the live action covers approximately the first 50 episodes.
The anime and this have significant differences, but the personalities are very much intact. What this episode covered ends up covering the main points of the first three episodes of the anime, along with half of the first known segment of Luffy's backstory, which originally is a full episode in itself.
For instance, Nami didn't meet them originally other than a glimpse of each other as they both fled at the same time in the anime. So, they're speeding that up.
Basically, lots of changes to the story... while keeping the characters in character and making sure the changes make sense for the characters involved.^_^
Congratulations Mikey, you are now part of a vastly large community. Oh and the sword style that Zoro uses is called "Santoryu" which literally means Three Swords Style.
Re: your comments at the end - I think this adaptation is actually a GREAT way to introduce yourself to this world. By the nature of manga, a lot of the plotlines were sort of stream-of-consciousness where it would take Oda a while to realize he wanted to bring back a character or give someone a particular arc. Because the live action was made with Oda's direct involvement, it's speculated that a lot of the plotlines they introduce earlier here are things Oda would have done earlier if he'd thought of them earlier.
World terminology note: The Navy is the organization, a Marine is a soldier within the Navy. Calling someone a Marine Captain or a Navy Captain are both correct, saying "The Navy" or "The Marines" when referring to organizational movement is effectively interchangeable.
As for Axe-hand Morgan's jaw, the show doesn't establish this but it's a blink-and-you'll-miss-it reference in the manga: his jaw was shattered in the battle with Captain Kuro of the Black Cat Pirates, the same battle that cost him his right hand. Both the axe and the jaw are prosthetics he got.
as someone who's been watching one piece since i was a kid, and being caught up with the manga, i'm so excited for Mike's reaction to this season!!
I appreciate the enthusiasm for the future videos! It’s nice when a show is just so much fun to watch
loved your reaction to the snails LOL. always fun seeing people's reactions to the more fantastical elements of the series for the first time.
I’m obsessed! 😂
The thing about One Piece is on a episode by episode basis, it is often a quite simple story of a goofy kid who wants to be the pirate king and the things he ends up running into. Then on a much larger basis, the story is sooooo complex with one of the most intricate worlds ever built. Watching and unravelling this story while enjoying the episodes is one of the reasons OP has thrived even after 1000+ chapters/episodes. You are at the start of an incredible journey. I am jealous you get to experience it fresh. Sail on oh Strawhat Mikey.
Edit: The Live Action covers about 40 episodes of the anime and about 100 chapters of the manga.
Edit 2: In Japanese phones are called Denwa and snails are called DenDen Mushi. So the author as a pun put the two together. He often has these work tricks in the story.
Yeah, in lore the snails are psysic - that's how they can mimic people's voices across vast distances. In the anime they take on the characteristics of the person at the other end when connected (similar to but not quite a video phone) but in the live action they have their owner's characteristics, hence the beard for Garps phone and the metal jaw on Morgan's.
This is my first experience with One Piece too, I watched this just to be sure if the show is for me. And now, I might watch more due to the look alone
Oh yeah the visual aesthetic is very appealing, and there’s so much great attention to detail. I was noticing all these small things while I was editing
Same for me, the anime has way to many episodes to tackle at the moment,so I'm just watching this. That said, this is one of the best live action adaptations of anything I've ever seen. It's perfect. I'll admit when they broke the curse, I cried a little.
Yeah I’ve seen quite a few live action adaptations of anime, and haven’t loved any of them. Cowboy Bebop was upsetting 😢 But so far I’m really liking the vibe of this one!
this take is weird to me, what do the episode numbers have to do with anything, at that point you dont want to actually experience the story you just want to catch up to the current stuff, but you do you
I swear you're everywhere
@@booga324nah fr, it’s like they think they gotta watch it all in one go lmao
@@booga324i mean... if he watched the anime for reaction vids on this channel, with the number of eps, it's gonna take up his vid slot for YEARS.
And some people would just... rather watch other things instead of a thousand sth ep anime.
So yeah the number of eps does matter to some
That is actually a thing, pirate often couldn't swim. Although in this case there's an actual reason beyond just pirate lore.
"I like this actor" Oh yeah Inaki has big Luffy energy. I think he still struggle a bit in very serious scenes (although the dialogue is more often at fault than the actor) but he's about as perfect a cast as you can get for Luffy.
"great casting" Helmeppo is absolute perfection in term of casting. He's not as important as some other well cast character but he's definitely in my top in a series where almost everyone is super well cast.
"why would she tell him her real name" cause a first name isn't going to get him anywhere, and when you have to improvise on the spot, it's always better to tell the part of the truth that you can afford to tell.
"is there a reason for this? (the jaw)" Yes but it's never explained in the live action and it's a spoiler for Episode 3/4 so spoiler alert for those two episodes:

Just as you were talking about his jaw he said he defeated the black cat pirates and their captain Kuro. In the anime, Kuro used a body double to fake his arrest but in the manga it's a bit more complicated: He had a first mate who was a hypnotist. So he basically killed Morgan's entire marine squadron and beat the shit out of morgan, cut off his hand and broke his jaw, but then he asked his first mate to hypnotise him so he'd believe he beat up and arrested Kuro (the fake one who was also hypnotised to believe they were the real Kuro). That's how Kuro originally faked his death. The live action is mostly the same minus the hypnotist (although you can see his wanted poster in Episode 1, he's the one named "Jango").
Six months ago:
"I won't watch the anime."
"Not on this channel."
And now he's reached past the Live Action!
There is no return once you get on board. 🏴☠
I was so wrong, and I am glad I was 😂
I’ve seen a little bit of the anime before this, and I watched with some friends who are super fans of the series, and we all enjoyed it. Cool to see you trying it out too
Yeah it seems both fans and newcomers are all enjoying it, and that’s such a difficult thing to do with an adaptation for something so popular and loved by many
I've been enjoying newcomers fall down the One Piece rabbit hole. I've been a fan since the anime started twenty years ago and they really captured the fun of the series. If you decide to do more of these, you could probably even do one episode every 2 weeks. You have plenty of time since it will be at least 2 years before we could even get a season 2 because of the writer's strike.
Wow I can’t believe it’s been 20 or so years haha. That’s super impressive honestly. And yeah, I’ve been dealing with a lower back injury so recording and editing has been a painful process atm. I’ll get these out when I can
Casting is PERFECT , show gets better every episodes.. and us fans who watched the show Demand Season 2
The music is really good in this adaptation. It’s one of my favourite parts of the anime as well (they have specific songs for badass sequences so you just know it’s gonna be epic when the music starts).
There was an Easter egg for a specific later plot in one of the songs they’re playing in this episode. It’s pretty deep into the story so we might not ever see it, but I loved how they put that nod in and in the background music no less. The level of detail is insane.
I love the bounties appearing when introducing a pirate that has one
Yes! It’s one of my favorite things about the show so far
Love your reaction! Yes, Eiichiro Oda, the creator of One Piece, was heavily involved in creating the Live Action series. From discussions with the directors, overseeing slight revisions in the story, to coordinating camera angles and selecting the cast.
"One Piece" is an unparalleled narrative masterpiece that weaves a tapestry of hope, camaraderie, and resilience. At its core, it's a story of relentless dream-chasing, encapsulated in the unyielding determination of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew.
Their quest for the elusive One Piece treasure takes them through a world teeming with fantastical islands, formidable adversaries, and profound mysteries. It's a story that resonates deeply, for it embodies the universal yearning for a better future, the courage to confront one's inner demons, and the unwavering belief that, no matter the odds, dreams are worth pursuing. Through its richly developed characters and the bonds that strengthen with every challenge, "One Piece" reminds us that true wealth isn't found in riches alone but in the profound connections we forge and the indomitable spirit that propels us forward on our own grand adventures.
"One Piece" reminds us that in the pursuit of our dreams, we discover the heart's true compass, pointing us towards a future where we can be unapologetically ourselves and share that journey with those who become our family along the way.
Always a great sign when the series creator is involved and is pleased with results
rly hope you enjoy the show and continue either on the channel or on your own! one piece is a gem of a show
First video did well! So episode 2 will be happening
This is how Luffy actually is in the original and the casting was so perfect even the creator of One Piece approved of him for being Luffy.
I am so happy that this has become number 1 in 48 countries and those who don't watch or like anime can like this series because that's the most important thing how to get those who don't know
Different mediums for the same franchise is mostly always a good thing because it throws a wider net out there for people to potentially get into something. This show seems like a huge win!
You typed it wrong, it should be 84 countries 🤣
So far I'm only 20:33 into this video, but i had to pause to comment. Its so funny to me you commented about it looking like Brazil. The creator of One Piece said that if this took place in our world, he imagined Luffy would be from Brazil. And in Luffy's opening scene, he comments that it was only his first day, so he wouldn’t have been out sailing for long. So wherever his home island is from, I imagine its close to where this island is.
Thank you for the reaction enjoyed it a lot, I loved the series as much as the anime I hope they make season 2, can't wait to see more of your reactions.
Thanks for watching! I’ve recorded the first three episodes, so I’ll at least be getting those uploaded. But the first video is doing pretty alright, so I might be doing the whole season!
24:43 Written on his metal jaw is "Möwe" its a German word and means Seagull. Like the Gull on the Marine flagg.
Yesss!! Been a long time One Piece Fan, caught up in the manga and everything, and I'm stoked to see you covering this!! I love it so far (6 episodes in) and I'm overall just stoked they put so much love into it - it's not perfect and I think the anime is still obviously much better (I mean animation in general tends to be Imo) but this is a great love letter to the source material and I hope it gets even more people interested in the incredible story
“Love letter to the source material” is a great way of putting it. Sometimes that’s what a great adaptation should be
yours is my fave reaction for the series! you're very attentive to the details, open minded and you see the hidden themes too.
Idk if anybody told you yet, but yeah Transponder snails are telepathic and connect to others and are modified with phone parts to talk to other people, they have the power to mimic voices and they tend to look like their owners hence the beard
This was a pleasant surprise! I'm so happy to see you react to this!
I originally wasn’t, but I thought what the hell! I’m experimenting with different shows
Not really a spoiler but since it isn't ever really explained in the live action those snails are called transponder snails. They have the ability to communicate with each other using telepathic communication over great distances. Humans have found a way to harmlessly attach gear to them to turn them into communication devices/phones. Even in the anime I don't remember them explaining how transponder snails actually work, one day I was just curious and googled it. But I think One Piece has a nice way of making snails look cute, cool, and more appealing to look at much like Spongebob and Amphibia had cute/cool snail designs.
I'm in a similar boat, prefer live action, avoided the anime forever (avoided all anime in general really). I've got friends who've been telling me for years to get into it but 1k episodes is daunting and I'm just not a huge fan of animation. But after binging this entire show in one day, I finally dipped my toes into the anime. Already like 60 episodes in, and I gotta admit it's pretty damn good, the universe is just so unique and interesting
"Luffy has somewhat of a chaotic energy." Literally couldn't put it better.
The word on captain Morgan’s chin is “Möwe” which is German for seagull :)
I watched this last week with my mom - we both haven’t seen much of the source material (her even less so than me) and it was an absolutely awesome experience! I’m still periodically singing the main theme to myself all the time :D
The marine base scenes were shot in a real naval fortress in Italy 😊 and the first season covers 44 episodes of the anime, but it is actually an adaptation of the manga.
I'm so glad you continued this. I only just found you and I love your reactions!
28:00 they dont explain it in the live action (and its just hinted at in the anime backstory). The black cat pirates broke his jaw (and hand and most of his body) when Morgan (not a captain at the time) "captured" the black cat captian. I believe that it was so broken they just gave him a jaw brace, like they gave him a "new hand"
I did the same i knew what the anime was but never wanted too watch it due too it being 1000+ episodes so im glad this live action came out ive fully watched it and its so good
Also funfact this live action took around 5 years too make
One day I would like to dive into the anime, but I have so many other things I want to watch ahead of One Piece, so I’ll settle for this for now
I’ve only watched around 80 episodes of the anime before I kind of quit. It just didn’t work for me, even though there were a couple arcs that hit me hard. However, I really enjoyed the Live Action, I actually spent all last night binging it.
I think it’s biggest strong suit is that it doesn’t take itself super seriously. It doesn’t feel dark and gritty, it’s having a fun time. I mean, you can actually see what’s happening in scenes that take place at night! What a concept!
Yeah the stretch cgi can look a little goofy but genuinely, I think it adds to the charm.
The cast look like they’re having a blast. And I believe they did most if not all their own fighting and stunts.
There’s a lot of love and passion put into this and I really hope we get a season 2. And I hope you’ll continue checking it out.
That’s what I’m loving about it so far too! It’s embracing that goofiness and fun, and it’s just very charming. It’s doing very well in terms of trending on Netflix, and many people seem to be enjoying it, so it’s looking good for the potential of a season 2
There is a reason why millions of people have watched over a thousand episodes of the anime, read over a thousand episodes of the manga. The reason is the story is superb. Oda has perfected the art of storytelling in our age. It is a story everyone can enjoy. A story that brings moments of dread, fear, plenty moments of tears, but a lot of happiness and joy.
Oh how the turns have tabled... 😂
Cool to see you reacting to this, its an excellent adaptation. I'd recommend finishing the season even if its not on the channel if you liked the first ep.
It’s performing pretty well, so there’s a good chance I could finish this out on the channel. We’ll see though!
You don't need to see the anime. Definitely consider the manga though - it'll go by quicker, and it's better. The Live Action is more faithful to the manga than the anime is in many cases, and we're grateful for that. Lot of things that are super gruesome in the manga got toned down for the anime, but they changed it back here.
It's so much fun to see not-yet one piece fans react to that show and getting the vibe and emotions of it (and they did a great job to get this special and emotional atmosphere from the manga/anime to the live action ❤️)
I love you hyping up the score and can so relate to that. Music is such a important part of transporting emotions and setting an atmosphere and is sadly a bit overlook from most watchers. Sony Belousova & Giona Ostinelli nailed it and she has interesting behind the scene videos here on RUclips about the composing process and teh thoughts for all the themes.
18:50
It is intentional! Captain Morgan is named after the real life legendary pirate Henry Morgan
SNAILS LORE not sure if this is considered a spoiler, so I'll space it out
The writer didn't want to give the world radios, cuz that would raise too many questions about what other tech they have. Phones and telegraphs would make no sense, as the entire world is islands, and wires would be super expensive to put everywhere. So he figured it out...
PSYCHIC SNAILS!!!
It's funny how I found this channel after seeing one piece anime reaction and the next video's intro starts like this😂
Dude! I love your commentary. Even though you're watching, you're remarkably observant. Now a subscriber.
Appreciate that so much, thank you! And welcome!
Thanks for the reaction! Nice to see new comers to One Piece! One aspect I do think got lost in the prologue is that piracy was about freedom and adventure not plundering people. At least, that's what I got from it. Thank you also for highlighting the score. It's wonderful throughout this season!
I love watching the One Piece newbies react to Luffy's stretchiness. I hadn't even considered that new viewers might not know about Luffy's power. XD
Don't get me wrong-I'm not even close to a proper One Piece fan. I only watched the first 125 episodes of the anime.* But between that and just existing in the anime fandom space, I've taken a lot of OP knowledge for granted. Like, "Of course Luffy is essentially made of rubber. Everyone knows that, just like everyone knows that Superman can fly. And everyone knows how Zoro fights with three swords at once, just like everyone knows that Luke Skywalker has a lightsaber."
Yeah, not everyone knows these things. And that makes these reactions extra delightful. :D
*I'm trying the anime again now, from the beginning. I really, really enjoyed this live action adaption, and I want more of the story. I can't wait until they make a second season of this version.
lol I'm catching your reactions after you started reacting to One piece so I know you are definitely going to lve the anime. I'm a huge fan of the anime! I never bothered with the live action, so It's interesting watching it with you.
Time to marathon Mikey watching One Piece, heck yea
I hope you enjoy!
You have a great eye for detail!
One reason for giving your real name in that type of situation would be that half-lies are more believable than lies.
me seeing this on my recommended: omg yay more first timer reactions!
title: i'm not gonna watch the one piece anime
(opens your channel)
first thing: **one piece episode 64 and 65 review**
YOU'RE JUST LIKE ME AFTER WATCHING THE LIVE ACTION LOLOLOL
I like your appreciation of the score. Not many reactors mention it but I love this live action's soundtrack
In the context of the show, Luffy not being able to swim has its own reason.
In context of history: That was A THING. Pirate crews often went out of their way to recruit people who didn't know how to swim or weren't very good at it, especially when they were planning on taking on and capturing a bigger better-armed vessel than they currently had... which would almost guaranteedly sink their current vessel in the process. The logic was swimming-unskilled pirates would choose to fight like hell in the boarding action combat for a more salient chance of survival rather than try and swim for it or stay on a sinking ship and almost guaranteedly drown because of their poor/nonexistent swimming skill.
in the anime Captain Morgan was canon fodder, he was taken down with one or 2 hits, here it seems he was a challenge lol
Morgan's chin reads Möwe, which is german for seagull.
Man I love people that don’t know Luffy is a rubber person being shocked by it. 🤣😂
Really fun seeing someone enjoy one piece for the first time. So glad the live action was made.
Something like this is a great way to create new fans. Good chance it’ll happen to me 😂
@@MikeyVenture It definitely has been the only Anime series that could stay part of my life after 20 years of being a fan. Others came close, but for example, after Naruto Shippuden ended, I didn't feel up to watching Boruto. In Bleach, after the Aizen ark ended, bleach ended there for me. A few Anime, I made it to the end, but they were much shorter. One Piece has never felt tired or old, I always am on the edge of my seat, screaming at the Calendar. （not literally, but that intensity of excitement)
The part that young Luffy poked his face with the knife is in the manga but not in the anime.
4:54 Three episodes. For the whole season, it's 50+. But even then there's slight changes, yet nothing major.
lol newcomer to one piece - "Is that snail a phone?"
He kinda got a broken/disfigured jaw or something like that after fighting the black cat pirates... this info from the manga got cut
Ps: It's not a spoiler since he did mention he fought the so called pirate
That makes sense. Thanks for the answer!
Live action season 1 covers approximately the first 50 episodes
If you love the music, you should watch the first One Piece opening theme song from the anime. You’ll hear it several times in the LA’s score!
As someone who does watch the anime. I would like to recommend you watch it in your own time. Not for reaction videos but just to compare with the live action and get some more context after you finish the live action stuff.
19:13 funny thing is, you wouldn't DARE say THAT to his face, would you now big man? 24:20 No dude, YOU are all talk, and what a reaction this is, I love how into this you get.
new theory,the snail phones are Bessie's babies with Joe Sparrow
Most of the time, sailors couldn't swim. The logic was that if your ship was destroyed in battle then it was better to drown than be captured by the enemy
My best friend won't watch the anime but she loves the live action and wants like 50 seasons
I'm caught up on the anime the live action is really good so far
They use telepathic snails as phones in this world.
I'm hoping that you can continue this reactions😁
If you like kickass fight scenes with awesome music attached then you've got to give RWBY a try. It's an animated web series that looks like an anime but is produced in the states by a company called Rooster Teeth. It has nine volumes/seasons and they're under 20 episodes so it wouldn't take long to catch up. Just a heads up though, the animation style is a bit off in the earlier seasons since they had hardly a budget to work with at first but it does get better as the show progresses and in the fourth volume they switch from Poser to Maya engine. If you do want to give it a try through you've got to start with the four trailers. They are known as the Red, White, Black and Yellow trailers.
this was super cool to watch, thank you!
Thank you for checking it out!
Anime has some of the best violence really? This live action is done really well not over the top with blood only when necessary it's a win for me good show 👌
The first season covers the first 50-60 episodes in the anime.
44 eps since logue town isnt in this season
ah i see your background man, so i mean i see your background.
makes me excited for your reaction to this!
as i say to everyone who hasnt seen the anime, dont mind the anime or fans for now.
make this journey(series) your own man. enjoy!
I was rly surprised at how good and high budget this live action was. Being a long time anime and manga fan. I've seen many live actions flop miserably due to low budget, weird casting choices and some even butchering the original source material. This includes both western made live actions and even the ones from japan. One piece live action actually has heart put into it and a deep respect to it's sourcr material
send word to the firelord immidiately, joyboy has returned ;p
Great show! There also Avatar: The Last Airbender. A live action will be made next year. I think you’ll like that animated show.
Interestingly enough, although they do explain why Luffy can't swim, pirates in the olden days rarely had good swimming skills.
It was considered bad luck for a sailor to swim against the sea, because that meant she had a taste for you and will eventually claim you, so for a long time in history sailors viewed swimming in the sea as a taboo and didn't have swimming skills as a requirement to board a ship.
Fun fact - Lufi (pronounced Luffy) means balloon in Hungarian.
The Live Action covers the first 44 chapters of the manga and 95 episodes of the anime. So it's actually not even 1/10 of the source materials. But they did a good job. Hoping for a new season already
Yeah I can’t imagine how difficult of a task it is for the writers to pick and choose what they include in this adaptation, but from what I’ve heard from a couple of friends who have seen and read the manga, they seem to be doing a decent job so far
sorry but i think you got those numbers reversed. the adaptation wasnt that bad lol.... yet
you got that around the wrong way its 95 chapters of the manga and 44 episodes of the anime
I only watched a few random episodes of one piece when it was on tv but I never watched it because I just couldn't get into the art style of it and also of course the amount of episodes. So this live action version is perfect for me and I loved it a lot! Can't wait for a season two and also to watch your reactions to it!
Narrator is blackbeard from pirates of the caribean. ; )
Never seen the anime but I'm really enjoying this show.
Yeah this was super enjoyable, and I loved the energy. And the cast seems to be chosen well too
@@MikeyVenture I've seen a good chunk of the anime (I'm on episode 900 of 1073 right now) and the characterization is near perfect
It's funny how people recognize Emily Rudd as Maya Hawke lmao.
I was right that she is in Fear Street though
@@MikeyVenture ooh my bad. Didn't know she was in FS. Thought you meant Maya lmao.
this is like one piece abridged, but i quite like it. i watched this show when i was a kid so this makes me so NOSTALGIC
This was awesome man! So interesting to see a new perspective.
I appreciate that so much, thank you! It’s been a blast so far :)
Man, I have been friends with someone whose been a fan since day 1, and I still dont fully understand the snails, it's just one of those pieces of worldbuilding that just shows how creative Oda-sensei can be.
