ode created one piece to be able to approach the subject of pirates that obsessed him since he was a child from an adventure angle similar to the first volumes of dragonball, one of his favorite stories. Despite these influences, he managed to create a world so particular and unique that it continues to grow with each new saga he publishes. After so many years, the characters have grown, the crew has found more members, and the anime has become one of the longest running and most beloved by the public.

Hollywood wants to exploit the fandom for ‘One Piece’

Like most classic comics, manga have amazing scenes that can be a great visual guide for an adaptation, but things aren’t as simple as copying the moment and that’s it. This is what Hollywood still does not understand about this format, as it takes a very superficial position in its attempt to transfer the idea to the West. This has generated some rather clumsy decisions that immediately alienate fans, such as Goku attending high school in Dragon Ball Evolution – 14%or completely change the personalities of Light and L in Death Note- 40%.

Despite years of accumulating failures, Hollywood insisted on finding the ideal recipe, because in the end we are talking about franchises with millions of followers around the world. With The Knights of the Zodiac: Saint Seiya – The Beginning – 5% and Cowboy Bebop – 67% like more recent examples, it was natural for fans of one piece decided to keep their expectations low and their doubts present. When the first reviews were released, which were quite positive, the live action series finally found the momentum it needed for its premiere.

Despite having to make some changes to the story to be able to fast forward with its 8 episodes, one piece stays pretty faithful to the original story where Monkey D. Luffy (Inaki Godoy) seeks to seize the treasure of Gol D. Roger to become the king of the pirates. His journey will lead him to meet other young people with equally strong dreams, like Koby (Morgan Davies), who wants to join the Navy to help people; Nami (Emily Rudd), who wants to save his village and draw a detailed map of the whole world; zoro (Mackenyu), who wants to be the best swordsman in the world; Usopp (Jacob Gibson), who wants to be a brave adventurer; and Sanji (taz skylar), who wants to find the Infinite Blue, a space where the oceans collide and all marine species come together.

Fans say that ‘One Piece’ is the best adaptation of a manga in history

In the end, the fans were very satisfied with this first season, and many are already asking for the second. The general opinion is that the work of the protagonists is especially powerful and reflects well what has been seen in the manga and anime; besides that the production work was quite good to portray this world.

And as a One Piece fan I am more than happy that it is doing well and that people are liking it, that new audiences can get to know even a beautiful story and that they are encouraged to watch the anime. Thank you very much Oda and Netflix for bringing us a tremendous gem.

Mackenyu was definitely born to be Zoro… oh my! look at him

One Piece Episode 1 on Netflix was everything I hoped it would be and more. The jokes work. The set, costume, and prop design is consistently phenomenal. Every fight scene is a new kind of hit. Iñaki just *is* Luffy.
