Basically the Movie adaptation of a Big Novel, but in a good way.
I've been a massive fan of the Anime ever sense I was a kid and I think most of us had felt very skeptical about a Netflix Live-Action Adaptation of ONE PIECE, especially sense a large percentage of live-action adaptation based on anime have been pretty terrible. Of course an adaptation will come around to finally break the curse, and it looks like ONE PIECE is the adaptation that broke the curse.
Like I said in the title of this review, this show is basically similar to a movie adaption of a big novel. The main core story and world is the same, however the events and characters have some changes in order for the story to work within the sorter time frame and the restrains of Live-Action compared to the freedom that is in books and animations. And I feel like ONE PIECE really hit a good enough balance with it that most hardcore fan will notice the changes, but find them to be good changes to make the series work in live-action.
Of course like many people say about a Movie adaptation of a Novel. The Anime/Manga is better then the Live-Action. The Manga/Anime has much stronger character development and world building sense it has much more time to really grow those aspects of the story compared to this adaptation. So most fans will still say read the manga or watch the anime over this adaptation.
However, I think most fans like myself will have no issue recommending this adaption, especially toward people that don't want to commit to reading/watching something that would take a entire month, or those that for some reason are just not into anime/cartoon.
So here is hoping that this show is a success for Netflix (so they don't cancel it in less then a month) and hope it bring in more fans to this great series we call ONE PIECE.
