Just wondering what people who have watched Netflix’s new One Piece series think.
They don’t have the greatest track record with anime adaptions so I’m afraid to watch it. I thought Cowboy Bebop was alright. Although they kind of butchered Vicious and Julia, imo, the people who played Spike and Jet did well enough that it was able to sustain my interest for awhile but not long enough to finish it. Death Note was barely like the original at all. The only good thing I can say was Lakeith Stanfield’s L portrayal and Willem Dafoe’s Ryuk.
But this series seems to be trending, so maybe they’ve finally done it?
We enjoyed it, and felt that they did right by the characters with how they structured their interactions. There was some notable character development missing (imo) from the interaction with Mihawk and the fights at Arlong Park, and the fights did feel a little quick for how difficult they were for the crew at the time, but it was still a fun trip through the East Blue.
