Romance Dawn

Live actions don't have a great track record especially when it comes to anime but man they really nailed this one. Inaki Godoy captures Luffy so well without feeling overly cartoonish. The other actors are great too but the Luffy casting was essential to the success of the show IMO. It's interesting to see Nami with high-level fighting skills but I think it makes sense given her success as a thief. Overall the adaption is incredibly loyal to the source material in a way that, against all odds, really works (so far). Hopefully this quality is sustained over the course of the season and if we're lucky, enough to warrant a season 2 in the grand line. Time will tell but for now take my 10/10!

This episode is by far better that the anime beginnings. I had a hard time watching the anime at first because the first 80 episodes are childish and slow paced. This episode had it's funny moments but also is very well paced, serious and has good actions sequences. I think it can attract a lot of people that have never been able to get through the first episodes of the anime. Special effects are very decent. Soundtrack is great. Loving this show so far and I hope it doesn't get the cowboy bebop treatment. Netflix tends to cut their shows really quickly, hopefully they can figure out a way to bring this show on par with the lengthy anime/manga series. I wanted to keep the review shorter but "requirements". Enjoy the show peeps!

I don't really know what to say about this other than I really enjoyed it. I will admit you do have to give it 10min as the first few min so feel a bit rushed and it goes by a little too fast in my opinion however after that it gets right into the meat of the story. The characters are great and there is a lot of heart and emotion to them which I really liked. I really hope the rest of the series is as good as this first episode. This show won't be for everyone I mean some of the characters are very cartoonish which isn't surprising considering the source material however it can take some getting used to. I think it is well worth pushing through though. I really hope this is successful as I want to see more and experience the one piece story in its entirety for myself as I am not caught up on the anime.

Ok I am a huge fan. But they have done so good to adapt it to live action! It has never been done before with such success on any anime/manga series.

The fight scenes 10/10 The actors 10/10 The cinematics 10/10

Just finished the first episode and wow! Made be shed a tear out of pure joy and hype!

Yes, a few differences, but they have been done so good it actually compliments the storyline further with such grave you will think it has always been there!

To anyone that hates on this - I cannot understand you. They have literally given us all a pure joy ride done magnificently well!

Thank you, cast! Thank you Netflix. Thank you Goda-sensei!

I have never watched One Piece in my life because of how many episodes the anime has, but I decided to watch the live action version with my mom. My parents aren't a big fan of anime, so I decided to trick my mom into watching the live action version of one, and she said she liked it, though I told her the truth after the episode. Anyways, my favorite characters in this episode were Luffy, Zoro, and Nami. My favorite things about this episode were the Cinematography, the action, and the storyline. Overall, this episode actually got me into thinking, "Should I watch the anime after a couple of thingsnI have to watch?". I might, but not right now.
