how the fuck did netflix break the live action anime curse?

But that looks terrible

>>211482929 (OP)
cute boy

just because twitter likes it doesnt mean its good faggot

>>211482957
it fits into live action. the show is whimsical and doesn't take itself too seriously.

>>211483016
just because twitter likes it doesn't mean you cant retard

It didn't.
This was in development for SO LONG because Oda was overseeing everything about it and constantly had them change shit. Season two and three won't have such oversight and are gonna suck.

The adaptation was okay but the DP is a fucking hack for overusing wide-angle lenses.

Honestly they did good job. Buggy was amazing honestly sadly they move him to a more of a comedy later but its the same with the anime too. The fights was way better then i thought they would be for a live action.

>>211482929 (OP)
They didn’t. They reluctantly renewed it so they wouldn’t sever ties with Japan and lose access to a bunch of other anime related stuff. It’s actually unbelievable despite the budget how awful this thing turned out. I think a live action one piece is certainly possible but they clearly got the wrong stack of talent here.

>>211483883
honestly was strange moment. When i watched it with my sis who was a fun of anime too. We were like. "But why?" I get it that they are orphans but still.

>>211482929 (OP)
By hiring a genuine fan to be the showrunner (he's left now though so the show could very easily go to shit) and the author being involved to approve casting decisions and generally rein in netflix's retardation

>>211482929 (OP)
By respecting the source material, listening to the series creator, and not try and tell a different story than the one the audience expected.

>>211486889
>he's left now though so the show could very easily go to shit
Really? Was he at least somewhat involved with the second season?

>>211486913

>>211486952
Yeah he stuck around until S2 finished filming, he's on indefinite hiatus now because of 'mental health' issues

>>211486992
crap

>>211486889
>>211486913
From everything I’ve heard about the BTS with this show it’s basically a game of tug of war between Oda (the showrunner too I guess since he left) and Netflix. I have no doubt it’s another Witcher situation and the “writers” plus whoever else at Netflix is trying to do everything they can to make it their own thing. The only thing saving it is they are contractually obligated to listen to Oda.

>>211482929 (OP)
and with this old hag at that.

>>211486992
Oh man at least he stuck around for season 2.
The One Piece manga went to shit so hard that maybe that broke him. It nearly broke me too.

>>211487029
>The One Piece manga went to shit so hard that maybe that broke him

>>211487092
Yes. The manga is blatantly just concept art for the anime and not the main thing anymore.

>But that looks terrible
i am a huge anime fan have been for well over 2 decades, no interest in one piece, all of my normie friends who don't watch/like anime were all telling me how great this show was when it came out, idk what it is but it really hits with non-anime fans.

>>211487158
name one thing wrong with it

>>211487027
a hag with soul

>>211483036
early OP is kind of barebones with the settings so it's probably not so bad to try to bring to life but the settings get a lot more elaborate as it goes on, not to mention the fighting gets a lot more intensive and elaborate too

>>211482957
It does look terrible but it has SOVL

>>211482929 (OP)
i saw the first episode and it was garbage

>>211483712

>>211487301
everything thats inherently shit in most Anime and by extension Japanese theatre

they managed to carry the tone of the anime well with lots of goofy special effects and quirky characters that suits it well

if you compare it to the cowboy bebop, they made the main cast too goofy and then they made the bad guy an over the top edgelord that just made it all over the place and a mess

>>211482929 (OP)
quality standards have dropped significantly

>>211482929 (OP)
Astroturfing and shilling and the bar being lowered so low by previous live action anime, and One Piece's rabid faggot retard fanbase. The fights look like Saban Power Rangers tier shit and the characters aren't allowed to be sexy.

Oh boy I can't wait to see them butcher my beloved Robin.

I would not have been able to vocalize it on the spot despite knowing the idea of what I wanted to say.

I have never met a fan of one piece irl. I am convinced its popularity is largely in Japan and online personalities outside of Japan suck it off to look credible.

They didn't. It's not total dogshit, but it was mid at best.

why does every single image I see of this show look dark as shit? aren't they on boats 90% of the time? in broad daylight?

>>211489398
>One Piece
>on boats
Hahaha, you wish

>>211489398
They made every scene dark as shit because the dim lighting helps hide the bad costumes and CGI. It's not unique to this show.

>>211482929 (OP)
by picking up the king of slops IP

>>211482929 (OP)
Started watching One Piece when I was 8. I'm 28 and I still read the manga. The live action show is pure slop. They went for the most uninspired, ugly, soulless route. It's pure drivel. Fuck them.

This is still pre-time skip. They'll get her on Bust Must after the whitebeard saga.

>>211489963
Nami's bust during Skypiea is already pretty considerable

they better not ruin my GOAT crocodile

one piece fucking sucks

>>211482957
Explain?

If you like anime you should rent a chainsaw from Home Depot and fire it up and carve the giant fat lard rolls off your body so you can have one good scream as a person of a reasonable, normal weight and then fall down and bleed out in a big pile of your own disgusting fat and blood and innards and set your poor mom free for what remains of her life

They were smart enough to partner with the GOAT company to ensure their shitty tv show was good.

You are falling for marketing, Oda barely has enough time to finish his weekly manga let alone "supervise" the live action show and normie retards think he also supervises the anime

>>211483095
Niggers are genuinely gross looking

>>211482929 (OP)
Netflix figured out that if you get the creator involve and make a bunch of articles saying how he's working with the showrunners then your show literally can't get any bad press or word of mouth because you'll have anime faggots breathing down your neck and yelling "BUT ODA IS WORKING WITH THEM"

>>211482929 (OP)
>pirates
>sailing
>adventure
You can't exactly lose

Netflix didn't do shit, Oda actually forced them kicking and screaming to keep the show the way he wanted it, to the point that he forced them to do reshoots on some scenes because he wasn't satisfied with them. Apparently Netflix producers were pretty disgruntled over it

I liked it. They did a really good job with Arlong Park I thought. Luffy putting his hat on Nami was still KINO.

>>211494333
I cringed cause the mexican can't act for shit and looks old as fuck

>>211482957

True.

>>211494333

sorry anon, i cant be baited im afraid, its decent, mostly netflix is garbage but one piece was pretty good, take the wig off

It didn't.

One piece was just as shit as cowboy bebop.
But for every one person saying that CB was actually good, you got 1000 people saying OP is good, due to it's popularity.

>>211488810

>>211494523
is the Cowboy Bebop adaptation at least funny-bad?
i like CB but fucking hell people got genuinely mad, even on /tv/, like it's sacred.

>>211494978
If it was its own scifi series, it might have been alright. It would have just been some mediocre shit on netflix people would quickly forget about. But because they called it Cowboy Bebop and changed so much people hated it.

Its bad, but not in a "so bad its funny" kind of way. Its just not good. Mediocrity everywhere.

>>211494978
Dude the guy playing Spike had an interview and openly admitted he has never once saw the show, it was doomed from the start, OP it seems like all the actors knew the source material, and woukd argue most were legit fans. Plus the person they chose to play Ed didnt work, she came off as sticky, Ed should have been played by an adult that looks like a child, not some child who wants to binary or whatever

>>211494904
This is adapting a novel though

>>211494978
If you think Faye Valentine saying WELCOME TO THE OUCH MOTHERFUCKEEEEERS is funny-bad, then go nuts with it

>>211483123
She's important in the arc she appears in, and not really important at all outside of that. She's Nami's sister Nojiko (Nami is the girl in OP). But it's important to note that Nami and her sister were both war-orphans adopted by their mother Bell-mère anyway. None of them were ever related by blood, so there's no reason for any of them to be the same race.

This is live action Bell-mère.

Another what the fuck pick, she didnt want to be sexy, which was part of how Faye was so successful as a bounty hunter...

pussyfoot maneuver status?

>>211495189
i'm laughing AT the writing, not WITH it. Spike already had a dry sense of humour, if some Whedon-wannabe turned him into a quip gatling-gun, i can't get mad. i just can't.

>>211487512
>if you compare it to the cowboy bebop, they made the main cast too goofy and then they made the bad guy an over the top edgelord

...but that's literally Cowboy Bebop.

>>211495377
but the tone is all wrong, and the writing was dogshit

>>211494978
>like it's sacred.
It kind of is and people rave about its art aesthetic. I think people were more open to Wan Peesu live because the anime art wasn't particularly

>>211495377
No, these characters were NOT the Bebop crew.

>>211495452
2000s dark blue grounded and dark Cowboy Bebop, with dark interpretations of the characters, would have been kino.
ONE character gets to make jokes. maybe Edward, newly reinterpreted as a little girl who escaped a rape factory.

>>211494978
>i like CB but fucking hell people got genuinely mad, even on /tv/, like it's sacred.
Idk, there were plenty of "the original wasn't good either" posts most likely made by people that are assblasted by anime in general.

>>211495551
those people were just incorrect, then.

>>211495507
Mustafa Shakir did a good job as Jet, I thought.

But that being said, my main point is that in the original manga/anime, the BeBop crew are all goofballs to one extent or another, and then you get Vicious showing up as the Edgiest of Lords. The live action version might not have been well cast or well written (except, again, Shakir as Jet), but the bizarre contrast of how Spike, Jet, and Faye act on a typical Tuesday against Vicious is straight out of the original.

>>211495249
>so there's no reason for any of them to be the same race.
Other than you know, to bow down to the racists even though 'it doesn't matter'

>>211495709
At no point in the original anime would it have been conceivable for Faye to scream WELCOME TO THE OUCH MOTHERFUCKEEEERS

>>211495249
Yeah and I vaguely remember Nojiko was a little browner as a kid in the manga. Either way it doesn't matter. Nami's sister rarely pops up after this arc.

>>211495746
My approach is always, "does changing the race change the character in a material way"?

Take, for example, Steve Rogers. The entire point of Steve Rogers is that he's a blond-haired, blue-eyed, white-skinned Ubermensch. He IS the Aryan ideal to a T. If he walked into a room Hitler would start getting all hot and bothered at the sight of him. At least until Rogers walked up to Hitler and decked him in the schnozz (or maybe still afterwards, I dunno, I don't kink shame). Because the entire point of Steve Rogers as a character is, "Hitler, if your super-man was real, he'd be on OUR side." Steve Rogers being a White man is actually important to the character, and so he should only be played by a White man.

Conversely, take, say, Inspector Javert from Les Misérables. The original novel doesn't describe him as any particular race, and nothing about his character really changes if you cast him as a Black man (say, Norm Lewis). It's perfectly believable that a Black man could become an inspector (not even chief of police or anything, just a chief inspector in one part of Paris) in 1830s France; Thomas-Alexandre Dumas managed to become an Army-general decades earlier, after all. Javert being Black doesn't change anything about how he thinks or acts and it wouldn't change how anyone around him thinks or acts towards him. So I don't see the harm.

>>211495836
I'm not disputing that, retard.

>>211495746
What are you on about

>>211482929 (OP)
>>211483209
kino phenotype. She looks mid with her real look but here she looks like an iberic hapa queen or something. hnng I' simping

>>211496174
Yeah and having Nami being mid makes sense because the crew meets some of the most beautiful women in the world. Theyre not allowed to cast Handcock with some uggo.

>>211496353
Luckily they'll never reach Hammock, this show will end at Alabasta

>>211482929 (OP)
they didn't. sure, they stepped over some of the easy to solve issues, but the core problem is that the feel of anime does not translate well to live action and it just feels "off" by default.

western anime fans will claim that subtitles are superior to dubbing because most dubs are low effort with miscast voice talent and poor directing. there's some truth to that, but the much bigger issue is that anime dialogue comes off as incredibly unnatural and "cringe" when spoken, but reading the dialogue off subtitles reduces this feeling. live action anime takes this shit to the next level because not only do you hear the unnatural dialogue, but you see all of the unnatural mannerisms and actions

live action anime is an abomination and this one-piece adaptation is proof of that. they gave it about the best shot possible and it still comes off as unnatural and unwatchable unless you're a coping superfan

They better come through on my nigga Bon Clay and make him look exactly like he did in the manga/anime. Just a totally ridiculous faggy clown, who ends up being the best of bros.

>>211496911
Too gay even for Netflix.

I have no prior knowledge and just watched episode one of the Netflix one piece because this thread peaked my interest.

>>211497106
>>211496911
I don't think they could find a good enough actor to do Mr 2 true justice. If they skip the shot of him flashing the guys in Nami's body I'll start agreeing with the haters in this thread.

It's terrible dude and I love One Piece.

I didn't watch the manga (since I am not a virgin) but I did watch this show and thought it was ok, but it was idiotic how every single villain had wolverine blades.

Emily Rudd should have played Nami 10 years ago. That would have been great. But Now the actress is in her mid 30s, and is a little too old to be pretending to play a teen Nami.

It may not be immediately obvious in this first season, but it's going to get very clear that's she too old to be playing a teenager.

>>211498977
...that's meant to be a teenager?

Why not just hire an actual teenage actress?

Yup. IIRC she supposed to play Nami (a female ship navigator) who is 16 or 17 years old.

She has connections to Hollywood.

But I agree they should have cast an actual teen.

Maybe. Unless we get a Stranger things or House of cards situation where it's popular enough to keep going for 7 seasons.

>>211507226
>Unless we get a Stranger things or House of cards situation where it's popular enough to keep going for 7 seasons.
I don't think the appeal is that massive. ST can get away with that many seasons despite having such insane production costs because its their biggest show ever. I can see Netflix deciding to cancel given the cost to produce episodes is almost as high as ST but the ROI isn't.
