And most importantly, what do you think about it? I think it’s quite bad except for a few nice details and while being definitely shorter it also feels like it’s missing some of the features that make OP such a quintessential read. Nonetheless, still amusing lol

I finished the season and it’s quite good.
With Netflix’ track record I didn’t expect much. I just hoped it would not be total crap, but now I like it and I want more seasons.
The characters are properly done with flashbacks to get their childhood and motivation behind everything. It’s funny dialogue and situations, lots of action, some really sad backstory, some world and organisation explaining for the new viewers.
Also Zoro is pretty badass in the live action.
Yeah they even resisted the urge to make Nami black ._. (and instead went for her adoptive sister).
Are you sure you didn’t fall for some forum rant? I just checked Google also with results limited to 2022 and 2021 but there was no hit on the front page.
If I remember correctly, they just put out a picture at the beginning with each selected actor but nothing before that.
I don’t like the live action’s marine base, usopp island, baratie, and arlong fight arcs. However, I prefer the live action’s alvida, axe hand morgan fight, buggy, and nami’s village. While the inclusion of garp in the roger scene was nice, I feel like garp and koby have too much screentime.
CGI fights are worse like gomu gomu powers, fishmen, black cat captain, etc. But I prefer the live action’s no power choreographed fights like nami, zoro, and sanji’s fights.
Kind of a mixed bag overall.
I thought they could’ve dropped the ‘gomu gomu no’ for announcing moves to make it more live action-y, and both big fights felt too easy. it’s a long time ago that I read it, but I feel like Luffy took a whole lot more of a beating before winning fights.
But overall I was positively surprised.
