Just got the time to binge all the episodes. As a fan of One Piece, all in all, very pleased that the series exceeded my expectations

- Luffy, Nami, Zoro, Sanji were perfectly casted, I really loved how accurate the portrayal of the characters were, whilst allowing the actors to bring their own spin on the character. Luffy way less silly, Zoro is serious but still have moments of hilarity, Nami is being Nami, while Sanji is just charming and way less of a pervert here. Usopp is just being usopp
- There will be comparisons to the original however I felt for their first season, the writing was solid. Way less draggy compared to the original. In fact, some arcs like Syrup Village, it can be argued the netflix series did better than the manga/anime, opting for more horror/slasher thriller vibes
- Garp being the secondary antagonist works brilliantly as a plot device to luffy/koby's character development, although not entirely accurate to the source material (garp's first meeting with luffy is actually in water 7 arc)
- Villains here are well written and fleshed out too, so that it ties well into the central theme of the straw hat crew's development. Kuro and Arlong had their own motivations and not just being purely evil
- Aside from minor miscasts (i.e. Nojiko cough cough), I think everyone did a really good job playing their roles here

This series serves as a good entry point for people who are not fans of one piece or never read the manga/watched the anime, whilst long time fans will have a blast watching this really well done take on their beloved manga. I went in with very low expectations and came out pleasantly surprised. My review 4/5, and I hope this gets a second season

best fight scene is zoro child scene. everything else looks retarded

tits too small la for nami

Felt macam the fight scenes here are pretty grounded and not as ridiculous as the manga/anime

Accurate mang, need to wait 2 year timeskip baru can see big tits nami

A certain minister here wanna play kizaru or not? 100% lookalike

4k out ?

Planning to watch it soon.

1080 je, I binged it last night

waiting chopper show up .. huhuhu

Hahaha, for a show, to do vfx for an anthropomorphic raindeer is quite expensive, maybe can do animatronic like baby yoda?

But omg, if they went sweet tooth route, I wonder if fans would rage or not?

Enjoy

Didnt watch the anime, so should i be watching the series?

Anime is way too long for some people, this live action series is a nice introduction to one piece without too much of the drag/flab

I read the manga since school days, sometimes I watched the anime but lately quite disappointed with the quality being put out

If you have to watch the anime, take note of the arcs you have to watch

Alasbasta arc (must watch)
Water 7 arc (must watch)
Sky Island arc
Thriller Bark arc
Marineford arc (must watch)
Dressrosa arc
Whole cake island arc
Wano country arc

Rest are just garbage filler

After they miscasted nojiko (no offence to the actress, she did a great job), I would rage if they cast a black actress as vivi

Yes can. I watched a bit of episodes of Rurouni Kenshin when I was a kid

I don't know the whole story

Grown up, I watched the entire film series. Loved it.

Because it will start from the beginning or narrated, you don't need to know any history.

Watched it last week. I approve mihawk's actor.

Yess, approved!

Considering the geography, habibi or brown skinned fit perfectly. It’s the white skin vivi anime that is out of place 😂

Cobra is frickin brown skin yet vivi is pure white ?

Waiting for kaido now
