One Piece Live-Adaptation Drama Announced

I saw that there's casting for Krieg, so he's in some shape or form, but I guess his role will be greatly reduced.
Maybe he falls victim to Mihawk. Zoro and Mihawk do duel at Baratie. Maybe Krieg's arrival is meant to be a red hering. "Look, it's the next villain!". Nope, ship is cut in half. The end.
-
I also notice during one of the parts in the Baratie section of the trailer. Usopp is wearing his outfit from one of the colorspreads. I just can't remember, which chapter the outfit is from.
-
Garp actor oozes charisma there, like someone who can abuse and brutally beat you.
-
They did announce a casting for Krieg a while ago. I can't imagine Sanji without Gin and Krieg - his most important character trait is shown through them during Baratie.
-
I just can't get over how fearless this all is.
-
There’s a bounty poster of Krieg up on the Grand Fleet website
-
Between this trailer and the other "sneak peak" from 40 minutes ago, Oda could have taken another month off.
-
Buggy looks great! Arlong looks awful. Sanji's accent is also not doing it for me. But I think overall I'm still very very excited for this.
-
ok that actually looks pretty solid, the arlong pirates being made to be the enemies for the first season is a good change iirc
hopefully we do get to the season 2...how the hell are they going to do a cgi chopper and carue consistently tho

At least it's not a stupid Brooklyn accent.

That looks so fucking good.

...Fair point. I'm just not vibing with it is all.
-
@arterisparibus You just do Chopper like baby Yoda. A high quality puppet.
-
Looks good to me! They even got the rubber effects down. That first preview had the slow show off stretch shot so that looked awkward, but putting it to speed makes a difference.

Well the fishmen are practical... so I think we have to assume they'll find a way to do practical Chopper. He ay not look like what we're used to, but a wayh that makes sense for filming.
-
For Chopper, how about making Heavy Point his default form? Find some big guy, dress him up like a sasquatch, then add the hat.
-
Not sold on Arlong, but the rest looks really good!
-

Cute Chopper's the mascot, they cannot do that.
The trailer was good! I'm surprised about how much I enjoyed it. Lots of stuff to like about it, especially Zoro and Sanji in action and Luffy clashing with Arlong.
-
I would imagine Chopper gets the Dobby or Detective Pikachu treatment... I don't know if it's too expensive of a venture for this, though.
-
This post is deleted!
-
@Barkworm Heavy Point is still cute. Just more like how a bear can be cute.
-
Wow this was great, way better then the teaser. Now I will feel bad if this doesn't last many seasons.
-
I wouldn't be surprised if Chopper's based form be like the puppets that they used on the Netflix's Dark Crystal tv show.
-
Arlong gave me some serious DB evolution Piccolo flashbacks.
Some effects looked really cheap. Mihawk's sword looks straight up plastic lol.
Some good parts, Roger's execution looked cool. They found a good actor for him.
ehhhh
edit: and omggggg yelling your attack's name REALLY doesn't work in live action
-
Arlong's voice sounded a bit too artificial prefered a more natural sounding voice.
Who is the actor playing Roger? He feels familiar but not sure where I saw him before.
But the cgi for buggy's power is great, I assumed it was going to be the hardest one to do but they did it really well.
I guess the no news for Gin casting makes
sense now. Krieg himself may have a small role here if arlog is in baratie, so no gin or pearl? Unles they just cameos. -

-
This looked amazing, ahah.
The trailer just suddenly dropped on YouTube while I was at a pub with a friend and we spent the entirety of it going "WOOOOOAH, THAT'S THE THING FROM THE SERIES!"At the very least, it's going to be a very fun watch with fellow fans
-
There's a lot to unpack.
-Roger looks great (outfit + smile + voice), glad they nailed him and his iconic speech
-There's a lot of subtler, smaller tweaks. With everyone getting outfit changes more regularly (versus just Nami in East Blue) it's harder to pinpoint when exactly something is happening (love that Usopp fit where he has the Jack Sparrow hat), but I also think they're trying to have more instances of the five leads being together, and y'know, being a crew. Opposed to in the original where Sanji joins right as Nami splits.
-Everyone has their iconic EB outfits in what I'm pretty sure is post Arlong or even the end of the season, just to tie everything up in a neat bow
-Mihawk looks great
-you can't just put a Foxy bounty and tease me like that but yeah, easter eggs with his and Bellamy's posters
-Much more of an effort to get Nami active in the combat. She and Zoro fight Buggy in the tent, as with last trailer she fights the Marines with Zoro and Luffy at Shells, and what is the most striking is Arlong Park(okay we can talk about Arlong Park now)
This is a section that has to get right otherwise the season crumbles like a house of cards, and I'm REALLY anxious to see the Nami-asking-for-help scene. It got spotlight in that article posted previously (iirc Oda approved).
AP was the stuff we saw the least of, so to round off it looks like Arlong and friends are FIRST introduced as troublemakers in the Baratie - Arlong tosses a guy through the doors and it seems like in a previous scene Sanji tries (in vain) to fight Kuroobi. I'm guessing they catch wind of Nami and go there to shake down some money? And the others fail to stop them? Will Nami still steal the Merry?
additionally, Luffy places his hat on Nami's head - the famous scene - at nighttime and in the next day, all five are storming Arlong Park (with Nami's arm bandaged). Again not a bad change, just a way to have her more directly involved in liberating her own island.
I think Arlong has a lot of the Buggy factor where I'm pretty unnerved by how he looks but then again, he is a terrifying dude lol. Fishmen were always going to be YMMV. And at least Arlong and Kuroobi are one thing, Choo and Hachi might like look nightmare-inducing. I really didn't like the delivery of Luffy vs Arlong "no one messes with my friends" but maybe it'll grow on me? If it's more of that introduction scene at Baratie where Luffy and friends try to stop them taking Nami that's one thing, but if it's the final tower battle it robs a little bit of the raw intensity of "you made my navigator cry". It still works and it's still in-character for Luffy, it just feels a bit more generalized.There was plenty of Kuro claws but surprisingly no Kuro (or Krieg). Then again they are just normal looking dudes with no fruits whereas Arlong is a scary shark man. Weirdly no Kaya either, but I guess you can't show every person ever (Woop Slap fans where you at???)
Nami's "Luffy people are hunting you" is so vague. It could be logically right after he gets his bounty, or just as a general hey-there's-bad-guys-in-the-east-blue-so-don't-piss-them-off way. Good to see Zoro and Sanji arguing.
I am excited.
-
i think they don’t show Kuro because he’s introduced as a good guy (the casting announcement listed him as Klahadore).
-
That....has some internal logic to it.
-
The whole thing looks decent but that Arlong looks… yeah not a big fan of Arlong. Doesn’t help that he is seemingly the main antagonist of this season with him being present on both Baratie and Arlong Park. The rest is promising but I still have get this feeling that this isn’t getting renewed for a second season. Hope I’m wrong though.
-
I've been thinking about Logue Town and... it feels like we will get Garp instead of Smoker there. We know Garp ship will attack the Merry, thought that seems to happen after Kuro/Usopp arc (judging by Luffy's clothes). There's also that line of Nami "Luffy, they are chasing you".
With Garp added to Roger's execution, and with Logue Town setting already made for that scene, I can see us getting to Logue Town and finding Garp and Koby again there, and they having the roles of Smoker and Tagishi. The reveal that Garp is Luffy's grandfather may happen there as well, thought I could see it being kept secret until Water 7. Dragon saving Luffy in Logue Town may have some interesting dialogue between Dragon and Garp.
-
I've spotted Genzo (and I think Nojiko? She's portrayed by a black woman, right?) behind Sanji during the scene in the trailer where he is telling Zoro that he saved his ass. And during the scene where Sanji tries to attack Kuroobi in the Baratie but gets his attack blocked, I think that's Chuu behind Sanji - he is kinda blurry and in the background, so it might just be a generic fishman pirate, but he's wearing Chuu's outfit.
I've actually already gotten used to the Going Merry's look and now think it's kinda cute. Not as cute as the original one, but still. The Fishmen in general look pretty good. Garp and especially Buggy look perfect. There is a moment where you see Buggy smiling, with his four knives between his fingers, and his actor manages to look charming, scary and silly at the same time.
This all looks so faithful to the original that I actually find myself excited to see which changes they've made, because I know they will be in good faith.

Someone on reddit summed up pretty succinctly my biggest problems with this show, I'll copy his post here:
• The look of this show does not match One Piece at all. It tries to have the same gritty cinematic look as Pirates of the Caribbean, when we need way less contrast, pastel color palettes, not everything needs to be golden hour dramatic.
• The set looks so expensive, yet everything looks plastic.
• Luffy isn’t suppose to be played like Tom Holland’s Spider-Man: a small quippy kid with superpowers. Luffy is a force of nature idiot who can’t read social cues and willfully ignores or denies anything outside his agenda. The jokes they’ve written for him don’t make me think Luffy and I’m not at all intimidated by him in the scene protecting Nami.

It's plenty colorful. If you hyper pastel it, it'll look like shit. Have you seen Speed Racer?
And looking like PotC, a hyper successful multi billion making franchise ain't a bad thing. It's been long enough sine the last good pirates movie folks are probably ready for it.
-
I like the implication that Usopp's wearing an elaborate pirate-y outfit in Baratie because he's new to this and hyped to be in an actual crew.
Also, at 1:53 we can see clown stuff behind Arlong, so maybe he'll be tracking Nami as a Season-long tease. -
The stretching looks alright if you hide it in quick cuts and fast movements. If their direction is on point, this part might actually work. I'm surprised.
Some of the outfits just...don't look good.
I hope we get more shirt Luffy than vest Luffy, because that vest is just way too short. Strange design choice.
Nami's hair is all over the place. I don't understand why in some shots it doesn't work at all.
Is Shanks wearing a kid's straw hat? I guess i never though about the logistics of the hat size and this is unique live action problem. I think he might look good without the hat though.
The marine uniform looks ... kinda cheap?
I'm not sure about the fishmen.Sadly, a lot of shots still have this strange filter. :-/
Overall, it's a good trailer though.
-
The dug-in negativity is making for excellent popcorn at this point.
-
Godoi has Luffy's silly side but from what I've seen he cannot pull off the intimidation when people mess with Luffy's friends

I don't have a poll, but most people seem rather positive?
-
Everything so far feels like the best you can do with a live action One Piece series that has no unfeasible astronomically high budget.
There's only so much you can fool reality into looking like One Piece. Arlong looks good, Buggy looks good, Luffy's powers look good. I feel the complains about plastic settings or cheap clothes are missing the part that One Piece can't look realistic because it's not realistic at all. You make it too realistic, and it's not One Piece anymore. As such, a level of theatricality is necessary. You need to spell to the audience: "this is a fable, please stretch your suspension of disbelief a little bit more than usual".
-
Yeah, which is pretty much what I mean.
The walls of text railing on it are now starting to stand out.
There is ＺＥＲＯ wrong with disliking it.
But when you see the pattern of unflinching negativity before and now when the tide is turning towards positive, it really sticks out.
But that never means criticism isn't welcome. It not only begs it, it deserves it. Just talking about stand-out cases.
-
The trailer is a solid improvement from the teaser (which isn't saying much given how terrible the teaser was).
At least the trailer was semi-decent for the first 2 minutes, until Arlong showed up. Then it took a bigger nosedive.It's quite said to see this show being handled by a crew with such a lack of draftsmanship in film making. It remains looking like a fanmade trailer with zero thought for post-processing in making the scenes look convincing.
Convincing in a sense that it's a proper series I can immerse myself into with the way it is shot and framed. Not just a camera placed somewhere with no changes made after.Costumes are largely wack, the action is bad, Arlong is not good at all and has a clown voice. The general timing of when kicks or punches hit is very off, making the impact feel delayed.
-
Like that.

love this idea. Really like the outfit in general.

Can’t get over how much I love the arlong park setting. They made it look like a real waterpark! I always found Oda’s original design lacking, especially after fishman island and sabaody park. I am here for it!
August 31st really can’t come soon enough!

I do feel like live action OP should more firmly be its own thing and not try to ape earlier successful pirate franchise. Which this does seem to be doing with its look.

@FatDogForMidTerms
You do realize this show was always a tough sell, and its failure, if so, may not be because negative comments were right.The odds were all stacked against it: it needs to captivate a new audience, it’s a story too fantastical for live action, it requires way more special effects than any reasonable budget can afford, it must appease its core fanbase who may not like decisions made for the adaptation, it’s practically impossible to stay successful for the required amount of time and investment to tell the whole story…
For the challenge that the series has to overcome, what we’ve seen so far already feels like a miracle.
If it’s renewed for season 2, it will already be a huge huge success.
-
Genuinely looking pretty fun at this stage.
I'm a little bit in two minds about moving Arlong up to the Baratie. On one hand, the East Blue Saga sticks out in my mind for feeling very stop and start and episodic with no major through-line for its arcs compared to later parts of the story. Making Arlong a bigger threat sooner is a great way to make it feel a bit more driven and comprehensive.
On the other hand, no Kreig means no Gin, and I still very much want to believe he'll fulfill his promise and see the crew on the Grand Line. What does it say about his future role that he's simply considered expendable to the adaptation?
That's a ridiculous nit pick, I know. I'll just be very disappointed if the manga ends without circling back to that.
Anyway I'm excited to see what they've actually come up with here.
