    This looks amazing, and I still can't believe of all the live-actiom anime adaptations, One Piece is the one that's being handled best so far.

      ... RIGHT? I never would've guessed in a million years that wacky One Piece would get the best adaption.

        Yeah. Between the extreme length, the setting and all the powers, One Piece is probably the hardest live-action adaptation to pull off well. And yet, somehow they're succeeding so far.

      Hopefully season 2 will have more consistent writing, because when it's good it's really good and it's fun how they realised the characters so far.

        It's still better than a lot of the other Netflix adaptations of shonen manga. (Seriously, how did they screw up Death Note?? That already had multiple live-action movies, and it's one of the more "grounded" anime since it's set in modern society with mostly humans.)

          I just think they blatantly dropped the ball multiple times, and in entirely preventable ways as demonstrated by the quality of the rest of the show.

            The casting really is impeccable. Everyone that works with Iñaki Godoy says he was practically born to play Luffy.

    I'm glad they don't seem to be cutting anything, and I'm especially excited by the end of the trailer!
