Considering nothing can be 100% adapted from one media to another it makes sense. There is a reason each media exists. You can do certain things in movies, tv shows, books, comics and manga that you can’t do in the others. Changes should always be expected when translating from one media to another. Things you couldn’t do in a book or manga but can in a tv show should be added. Things you could do in a book but not a tv show should be removed. As long as the heart of the story is the same and you do your best to make sure your not ruining what your adapting. I’m not expecting a shot by shot. I’m expecting some things to be left out or changed. I’m also expecting we might get some things not in the manga that Oda got to add it in because he either thought of it after doing the manga/anime or because it translates better in live action than in manga or anime form. I’m not expecting it to be better than the OG. But I am expecting the feelings I got watching the OG to be similar. At least that’s my hopes for this.

@@ForestSen If only more people think like this. LA wouldn't get as much hate as it does.

@@ForestSen True, I see some of this in the way they decided to make Arlong look. Arlong, like many other characters has a very oversized body compared to a normal person. Trying to get close to that without using any cgi is probably impossible. Of course they may have a slightly better chance if one of the strongest men in the world suddenly became a talented actor but otherwise it will always look abit off. My guess is that any character with weird/huge body's will probably not be the best lookalike. It's a shame but i can fully accept why they will look weird.

Yeah there will be certain restrictions with the shifting medium as well as restrictions from networks and only being a certain amount of time to put everything together. That's good to hear, though.

Oda created one piece for people to enjoy, laugh and cry at their homes. And since these actors said that they're recreating a live action of one piece out of love and respect of Oda's work. I was skeptical they'd ruin it, but thank god they didn't disappoint. (Tho I don't like one piece in English dub😂) But I guess if you put your heart into the work, the outcome is good (unlike disn- *cough

No hate on original LA cast but I will tune in the japan dub

@@cal8338bro rlly said “The Juan Piece”

not only that but also the orginal german cast, which makes it 1000x better than the english version

That was always going to be the case for the Japanese version. They would never recast OP just for the live action

Looks like I'll be watching this at least twice.

They'll probably go for a reallistic puppet. I dont think they have the budget for a cgi version.

Detective pikachu vibes would be perfect but yeah there is the budget problem

bruh at detective pikachu, all budget goes to pikachu, it cant be like that in one piece live action

Idk I think rocket racoon style could work too.

@@Haxerous that too maybe

Yoooo glr how are you

I'm very impressed by the attention to detail. Like it's actually made for fans first, rather than going for a general audience. Feels like a very accurate retelling of the OP story. It looks goofy as fuck, but OP is goofy as fuck, so it kinda fits.

If Arlong has more personality in the actual show then I'll be fine, I just don't want him being the generic dramatic tough guy who says threatening things in a low growly voice, which is all they really gave us in the trailer

I keep seeing people who don't watch/read OP trashing it like crazy saying that we probably all hate it. We don't actually lol

I feel like manga/anime Arlong was so much more Himbo, and we need to honor that

oda the same dude that said op red and the game are good

Representing the dawn they know what they’re doing with this one let them cook

@@musashi542 Oda same dude who made One Piece yeah

@@tonnmiister oda the mangaka not the director or the game designer , he better stay in his own lane

Where is your source pls 😭

I just hope it shows them marching to Arlong Park in unison, like footsteps fully in synch, military style. I think that would convey the seriousness that the walk to Arlong Park conveyed on the anime and manga.

@@VlogCandyMinusoh I can already hear the soundtrack

I smell cg tears on Nami

@@martinbabich1920 its way more practical and cost effective to use eyedrops for tears lol, they wouldn't make tears cgi

​@@martinbabich1920dumbahh

same here bro

Sooo did you enjoy it?

​@@lightningjadejavier Oh yeah, I'm on my third run now. It has the feeling of an anime but toned down just enough to not be weird in live action, while also not being too realistic and losing the charm. The cast had great chemistry, fights were awesome and music was great. I might even start the anime while I wait for season 2.

@@_Zer0Gr4vity_ do it!!!! I promise you as someone who watched one piece before it exploded with like g5 and this live action I'm very happy that one piece is THE anime to break the netflix curse, and to recommend it to EVERY. SINGLE. NEW. FAN. so as someone who was here before one piece becoming famous imma say it now, it's the most beautiful story you'll ever see! It had me balling in sooo many arcs!!! I'm the 2nd last arc rn about to enter the final anime arc, and well I'll meet you there bro!!!

@@_Zer0Gr4vity_ like i promise you, starting the anime now, is the perfect time to start it. Cause even though 1000 episodes seems... Long, i promise you it'll actually go by waay faster than it should. Plus you get to enjoy stuff that the live action will release before the live action! Like me!!! I feel like i should tell you something more about what to expect... But nahhh you can figure out that sadness for yourself.

When you put it like that it makes sense. Arlong just been chilling for 10 years, he's much more slim down.

glad you see what I see

but the tension of that fight was how skilled and strong he still is despite this retirement. At least it added something for me

@@Greennoob2 Ye, I agree, but I think it was more how strong the fishmen were compared to the human species/ fruit users like Luffy. More about his species being naturally stronger than being physically strong like Jimbei, who actually trains and fights regularly

because someone is apparently unable to train once they start living on an island?

The guy is actually pretty damn buff. It's just that he doesn't tower over everyone unlike the manga. Can't expect actors to pump themselves with steroids all the time (looking at u, rock). Maybe some special effects/angles could've made him appear taller, perhaps? I think thats the biggest reason people find him weird looking

Arlong is fine if they were going for a more practical effects version of him & that's OK. I rather have him look real than a cgi monstrosity that looks fake.

He's actually pretty jacked but since the facial prosthetics bulked up his face by a lot, it made his body look small.

You've already said it "compared to the series" villains in OP are often represented as huge beasts even being humans in order to picture the threat they are, BUT, that's an anime/manga resource, doesn't need to be the case here, the actor is already 2m height 💀

im wondering how they will do the scene where he holds zoro up and tears his shirt, i guess they might not bother, but tbh that scene in the manga was so poignant to me, so i hope they do, but with that arlong and zoro being a decently buff actor as well, might look weird haha

i felt like they should have done the whole marvel CGI thing where the cover them in suits and go complete CGI other gripe is i think the outfits seems fresh out of the box not normal enough espically the OG outfits

Yeah, problem is that they are all huge. Even Hachi is huge compared to the main cast. They'd have to get Brock Lesnar to do it any justice lol

​@@hamadalkaabi2160they definitely could have done that but there's still the problem of maintaining that level of CGI till Arlong is defeated

@@hamadalkaabi2160 that will cost alot 😅

@@hamadalkaabi2160 cgi is expensive and i would assume disney had far more budget for thanos in avengers than neetflix for arlong

facts

Bro, we're talking about One Piece, they fucked it up if it isn't goofy as hell(especially since it is east blue, a lot of people forget how goofy One Piece was early on and honestly still is)

​@@YuriLunarisits called absurdist. Which is a stylist choice. The show looks goofy. There's a difference.

Man. You got to watch one piece. It's peak fiction. It gets better and better the more you watch it.😊

Copium

A lot happens between arlong and alabasta, skipping straight to alabasta would be odd

no doubt it will be really good, but whatever anyone think, it can't beat the original one in the anime

when you will catch up to one piece, you'll still say it's one of the most impactful scenes in one piece, that's the beauty of it my friend😌

luffy dies and goku shows up with the dragon balls to save him

@@shinobuu__ shenlong comes after goku searching the dragon balls, sees kaido, both dragons become friends, kaido says wororororo, shenlong hisses in reply, they go to their honeymoon, luffy and Goku left alone, they go to an eating contest, eat the whole universe. the end

That was the moment that really made me love this manga I was about to drop it but but thankfully I kept going and its only gotten better and now 20 years later and this story still brings me to tears

That's actually what sawfishes look like, I'd say it's pretty accurate!

​@@ambiguoussarcasm I'll have to double check, what that's pretty cool if they delivered on that core concept of Arlong.

Arlong needs a little more attitude and energy. It doesn't help that his voice is unnecessarily deep.

Agreed, the only thing I feel like would've made this perfect is having the visual crew of Pirates & the Caribbean be in charge of all the visuals, makeup, and outfits for the series, and it would Chef's kiss.

​@@redragon88 I actually liked his voice more than his appearance, gives a lot of fish vibes

Man... have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean ?? if you have you know it in ur heart that they could do better... i'm just sad that they aren't even trying these days....

@@sanketlalwani4284 " have you seen Pirates of the Caribbean" that was a whole expesnive film studio, Netflix doesn't have that. "i'm just sad that they aren't even trying these days...." bro your just straight up trying to come up with excuses to whine about XD

@@sanketlalwani4284 POTC 2 has a budget of like 200 mill and is a movie that is about 2 hours long, whereas the live action has a budget of about 150mill and a total runtime of around 7 hours. There is also the fact that most of the CGI characters like davy are generally seen in dark areas, although that can be argued against as the live action too attempts to keep the fishmen in the dark a majority of the time. The live action is also in it's first season which gave it less reason to be higher budget since live actions have not exactly been cherished in the past. It seems pointless to compare the two when they have a bigger gap between them than me and a functional member of society.

yeah with the teaser it was "I expected it to be shitt but its not that bad" and with the trailer" wow I expected it to be shitt but damn its good"

as soon as I saw them building actual ships for the show, I thought "maybe this is not gonna be dog shit".

No the general consensus is still that it looks bad.

where did you get the data lol? it is only the coping fans that overhype the trailer, there are many disappointing scenes in the recent trailer like sound/music, arlong and shanks, and dark CGI scene. The cowboy bebop la nailed the character costume but still failed hard so......

Nah, it still kooks awful

watched the trailer and none of the character seems to share the same personality as the manga character for one they made luffy self aware. not sure why people think this looks good myself

@@vincenthammons-kd9du anime and manga are too exaggerated, where in a real life setting its either edgy or cringe and one of the most said criticism about the teaser and trailer is how goofy the anime and manga is in live action because a fantasy anime like one piece is not meant for live action but the fact that something that is nearly impossible to adapt to live action has CGI that looks somwhat bearable and edible is very promising. Take jojo or any other anime with a sense of weirdness to it and take one of its most goofy character and do a line/pose/cosplay in the open in public while saying his catchphrases or lines from the show, sounds cringe right? If that doesnt convince you then imagine a 14 year old on a zenitsu cosplay walking up to you then leaning forward then saying "Thunder breathing: first form" in public, now thats gotta be cringe. Thats because anime like i said is exaggerated in terms of design and personality. The only out of character thing ive felt so far from the anime and trailer is luffy's change in humour and zoro's colder personality which he only got after timeskip since at the early days of strawhat crew he was either laughing, fighting, drinking sake, or sleeping, other than that nami's assertiveness can be seen, zoro's loyalty, we didnt get to see much of ussop, and sanji and zoro's dynamic of one-upping each other is still very much there. For a live action adaptation that only looks kinda goofy for an anime/manga that was REALLLY goofy is a plus imo.

@@konvex69 character interactions are a big part of one piece take that out its no longer one piece

It's shit because One piece is shit

@@vincenthammons-kd9du that kind of interaction only works on anime and it is already proven by watching j-drama

I really agree,for me as an artist arlong's actor act pretty good

tbf, I think the actors they chose are really good

While understandable for a good number of human characters who are randomly 8-12 foot tall, i feel there is plenty of characters that if scaled down will ruin them both in terms of power but thematically as well. If Dorry and Broggy are only like 7-8 foot tall I’ll be fucking pissed.

This is true, and it makes sense for human characters like Garp and Roger to be normal sized in the adaption, but I feel they could've scaled Arlong up just a bit. A little camera trickery could've done the job. I think there's some villains that really need to be big, and others who can be scaled down fine - though there's obviously nor an exact criteria for that

Wym too goofy? Goofiness is what makes this show special

hell the ships are even real, that means a lot because big companies will CG that probably

He also said that some Luffy lines he thought wouldn’t work, he became ok with once he heard it from Iñaki.

Man ..? Oda went above and beyong for one piec3....Hopefully, he will be alive or at least give a written statement in case if he passed away before finishing the one piece manga that the ending was his idea.

​@@GoleonTension line is definitely something Luffy manga would nevet say 😂 but in Luffy la it fits

@@kk_romeow - And that’s thanks to how Iñaki says it.

Oda got a screener of that scene and his reaction? "It's perfect" so I am very excited (though also terrified because: my poor heart!!)

I agree. His head looked too big for him body because of all the prosthetics. If they got a bigger dude it probably wouldnt have looked so weird.

Arlong is 8’7. By human standards in the East blue he is a very big lad.

@@Babylauncher3000 Yeah, but how the fuck are they gonna find an actor anywhere near 8'7?

@@cormacoregan471 Stilts? CGI? Forced perspective? There are numerous solutions to this issue.

@@Babylauncher3000 Maybe. Hopefully they'll figure out a way to let Arlong keep his menacing nature.

I was so surprised seeing this trailer. My friend told me about it and I told her 'I'm not gonna bother watching that crap' because I was convinced it's was going to be the so maniest live action disappointment but it actually looks...kinda good??? I'm impressed with what I've seen so far!

It is absolutely not their choice. It was a demand by Oda himself. I guarantee to you they are not happy about it, as most producers and directors despise the involvement of the author. In this case, the director is a Fan, so he likes it, but I doubt Netflix was that into it. Oda and Shueisha were the ones to demand it, and they achieved it by negotiation.

​@rhuanv you think netflix wanted one piece to go woke

​@@goodadvertisementsxyz4796knowing their track record? Probably. Just look how they absolutely destroyed Cowboy Bebop and Death Note

Too me this is a double edged blade. Obviously it’s good because without him any corners they cut are decided by someone we don’t know otherwise they are forced to adapt it 1 for 1 (lol not happening). But that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily better that oda can make the call and say change it like this and he’ll be happy… coz that’s just more for the fans to blame him lol. When it comes down to it he probably has 0 influence of actual visual effects and only can influence the pacing/story…

He already said some scenes had to be reshot with his input so it should be fire!

i mean its hard to replicate the anime moves into reality

Meu irmão em Cristo citando Monteiro Lobato em um video gringo de One Piece, brabo

I wholeheartedly agree, but I think we really need to also give credit to so many people who worked on this who love and adore One Piece. It's not just Oda's involvement, it's also because the whole production came from a place of love and not just some soulless moneygrab trying to get as much out of this as possible with as little effort as possible. Yeah of course the execs behind the scenes have that as their main motivation regardless, but the staff went above and beyond to make this feel right, and that's worth crediting :)

thats great to hear, if you like the show you should check out the manga/comic its really good

For me it did the opposite. It showed me all my fears and weariness were completely merited.

​@@nicholas7156in what way?

To me that was a good call. There's certain aspects from animation that don't translate well to live action. If they kept Arlong's size it would have looked ridiculous imo.

I think also that all the prostetics makes hes face look bigger and that makes hes body unintentionally look smaller. I think body to face ratio is what makes it look goofy and small.

​@@mamobeeno, bigger size doesnt make him ridiculous, it will make him looks more like he should, like a monster, he is a Fishman 😂

He posts more here so it's understandable

No it's not really, this channel feels more personal than the main channel.

Real and true

No reason. Just old channel is dead you can say that tio

I confess I have only subscribed to this channel

I don't believe you

@@MikasaeaAaah_Aahkercmoan😂😂😂😂😂

Just read the manga lol

i mean... how do you do some of the scenes without CGI honestly....

And the entire reason most manga are drawn in daylight scene is likely because mangaka hates doing night tones, especially during those days where they have to tones by hand, while chasing a deadline. Heck, the entire reason most manga characters are blond is because they hate toning the hair. It's why main characters like Naruto are blond while Luffy gets a Straw Hat. As they take the most time to draw.

a top tier artist will always tell you, if you can hide the mistakes of your drawing, do it.

The problem is that since the first Hulk movie with Eric Bana is that it's hard to tell what's going on in a lot of movies with night fights. You can barely tell what's going on when the hulk is fighting those dogs and have zero clue what's going on in the last fight against his father. It also lessens the immersion for the viewer. One Piece prides itself on great fights.............you can't just give it a "meh" scene........and think that it won't be impactful.

One piece does not pride itself in great fights. That might be its weakest aspect when compared with shows like DBZ and Naruto. Now, the framing of the fights with the themes, the character motivations and emotions involved is top tier in One Piece. The fights themselves though? They’re good but definitely not one of its strongest aspects.

its an 8 episode series

Because I literally used my eyes to see his demeanor/expressions in some of the fight scenes that were shown in the trailer and are relevant to what my comment was about??? I wasn't absolute about it, hence the wording ''I felt like'', and I would be delighted to change my mind when the show is finally released, but these were my first impressions and I'm just worried that they might be indicative enough.

Copium

As far as I know, Don Krieg has been cast so he should show up. It'll be interesting to see when.

@@Nollis Sure but he might just be there with his fleet approaching, only for Mihawk to wipe them out as his introduction, and all the conflict with the Strawhats removed. They did cut down the amount of episodes, so I fee like Krieg was one of the parts that was ultimately cut. Won't be upset if I'm wrong, but that's the impression I get from the trailer.

Literally fans who never watched will enjoy this 100% i never watched anime until 2020 and I thought the live action death-note was the coolest thing netflix ever dropped
