>>213385959 (OP)I do appreciate that they didn't try to run away from the cartoonish aspects of One Piece, and they clearly put a lot of care into the sets, especially the Ships
but the whole project feels a little pointless, because there is no chance in hell they'll ever adapt the entire story, and there's no good point along the way to stop the show that would be a satisfying closure point
Marineford is the halfway mark before the timeskip, but that has a total Downer ending and would just leave people blueballed
Also they're going so slowly in filming that the actors are going to start aging out of their roles real fast, and the further the story goes into the Grand Line they actually start running into things that are SO cartoony and crazy that it's nearly impossible to imagine how they will adapt it
How the fuck are they gonna do Skypiea? Impel Down? Thriller Bark? It's not possible
So this show is doomed to end on a cliffhanger, with many characters introduced in Season 1 NEVER EVEN REAPPEARING (like Mihawk, who is not seen again for like 400+ chapters in the manga)
Viewers will be left wondering
>wait, what happened to Shanks?>Luffy doesn't become king of the pirates?>where's Koby? (he also never comes back until 400+ chapters later)etc.
They'll then be told that if they want the real story, they have to go watch 1400+ episodes of an anime, or read a black and white japanese comic book, which they are not going to do
