Itz_Dani! Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 If (or when at this point) we do get season 2, im assuming it’s going to cover the whole Alabasta Saga, Spoiler Seeing them enter the Grand Line, meeting Laboon, meeting Miss Wednesday/ Viví and getting introduced to the members of Baroque Works, Drum Island/ introduction of Chopper, the giants, and then the main Alabasta Arc which is the first long-running arc in the series. I’m curious to see how they’d fit all that in 8-10 episodes, it’s hard to imagine how they’d cut anything out or change some of the storylines for Alabasta Saga seeing as they are all pretty important. It’s pretty packed, more than East Blue. In fact, I’d say everything from now is pretty packed, considering most arcs from this point forward are long-running.
costlyxo Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Just got to Arlong properly meeting the crew and he freaks me out so much. I just started watching the anime over the summer and finished Arlong Park so it's fresh to me how sinister he is

They can do: Loguetown (1 episode) Reverse Mountain (1 episode) Whisky Peak (1 episode) Little Garden (1 episode) Drum Island (2 episodes) Alabasta (4 episodes) They'd fit the entire saga in 10 episodes just fine Edited September 8, 2023 by Flomik
FailSafe Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 I'm watching it. Episode 2. I want Zoro to impregnate me 1
Eóghan Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 I don't know what I expected but I expected better based on the comments. i'm on episode 3, I'm enjoying it but not with great enthusiasm. this is 'Wednesday' level of writing. at least people were critical of 'wednesday' when it came out so I had set my expectations accordingly when I watched it. i will say this, the guy who plays Luffy is extremely charismatic and carries the show on his back. that's a star right here. but that's also a problem, the rest of the cast is pretty bland in comparison so far. 1
illia Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 (edited) I don't even care how they'll do Chopper in season 2 because I'm sure they'll come up with something anyway, just like they managed to do Luffy's gomu gomu attacks pretty well so I'm not worried. What I AM worried about is Robin. The writing team and the actress better NAIL Robin's slayage and cvntiness that will be my make or break One of my most favorite One Piece characters Edited September 8, 2023 by Flomik
Chemist Posted September 8, 2023 Posted September 8, 2023 Yeah this is like Wednesday to me. Entertaining but nothing to write home about

They need to find maybe Egyptian or Persian actress for Robin don’t you think? They prop will do Robin justice, look wise.
kataraqueen Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Omg this was so good from episode 6 on I was just constantly sobbing Nami killed it what a phenomenal performance for her arc. I'm listening to My Sails Are Set now. It's SO good https://reddit.com/r/OnePieceLiveAction/s/GCHvn6hkH8

She has huge adam apple. Even if she WAS trans, what a weird thing to ask. I bet you're some scrawny looking dude irl who went to the gym and is now proud of his thin chest muscles Edited September 9, 2023 by kataraqueen
EarthJang Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 On episode 3 and I still don't know how I feel about this. I started waching the anime 20 years ago and pick up the manga like 10 years ago. It's my favorite fiction of any kind, so probably my expectations for the LA is too high For now the manga remain superior

The oly good actor is mackenyu as zoro.. I wish they are brave enough to do all asians casts for the main characters... 2

The characters were never intended to be Asian. Don't pretend like you care about the original source material then directly contradict the maker of said material 💀 those cosplayers mock her 'cause they're little femboys who wish they were born female.

Why the hell would they all be Asians if Oda (the author himself) already stated what nationalities they would have in real life? And guess what, the only Asian one is Zoro (Jinbe too but we won't be seeing him for the next 4-5 seasons) https://onepiece.fandom.com/wiki/Straw_Hat_Pirates/Miscellaneous#Nationalities
KFC Posted September 9, 2023 Posted September 9, 2023 Good afternoon all, can someone tell me if this is suitable for me to watch as a 40 year old man? Or is it geared more towards teens. I have never watched the anime either

Or is it geared more towards teens. I have never watched the anime either I think you could watch it and it's not necessarily for teens, more of a young-ish (zennial maybe) adult demographic. They adapt it really well to tone down over-the-top unrealistic anime personalities. There are some silly things like the cartoon-ish gum gum attacks but it's endearing. Maybe the mini arc of the first 2 episodes could be a good gauge? OT: I'm wrapping up and I found the fishmen arc to be kinda disappointing compared to the anime. I know they needed it to be brief because so much was already being covered, but it felt like nobody was even struggling. Considering how integral Arlong is to a main character's origin story I felt like it was a disservice 1
Lightbringer007 Posted September 10, 2023 Posted September 10, 2023 Finished the show last night ... it ATE! Like they really exceeded my expectations so much! A few things they can improve on later down on, but it was a very solid first showing!

The world building is insane. So dont set unrealistic expectation like that. This live action has its flaws but they nail the casting/the set and the cgi also surprisingly good. Netflix needs to keep this energy and budget for future seasons (and hopefully they dont cancelled this because of budget issue, the backlash will be insane) 1
