¡°There is something mysterious about the life of a pirate.¡± - Monkey D. Luffy
The live-action version of One Piece just debuted in India, and fans are raving over the plot, characters, and other aspects of the show.
Before we dive into fans¡¯ reactions, let's know what is One Piece.
The Japanese manga series One Piece was created by Eiichiro Oda. Since July 1997, it has been serialized in Shueisha's shnen manga magazine Weekly Shnen Jump, and as of July 2023, its individual chapters have been collected into 106 volumes. The plot centers on the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates, who explore the Grand Line in search of the fabled "One Piece" in order to succeed himself as the next Pirate King.
Here¡¯s What Fans Had To Say
One wrote, ¡°Def worth a watch, after just the first episode I¡¯m hooked af , the cast is amazing as well , Netflix actually caught a W and I¡¯m all here for it tbhhh!!!¡±
Another added, ¡°I know what One Piece is, but apart from it being the best-selling manga and a popular anime, I have no knowledge about it. Just saw the first episode of #OnePieceLiveAction - and, so far, I am enjoying it. Really interesting characters¡±
A third wrote, ¡°holy moly!!!! just watched the first episode!!! this is fucking insaneeee. one of the best anime live action?!?!!!¡±
A fourth tweeted, ¡°Episode 1 of #OnePieceNetflix was everything I hoped it'd be and more. Gags on point. Set, costume, and prop design consistently phemonemal. Every fight scene is a new kind of banger. Inaki simply *is* Luffy.¡±
Eiichiro Oda On Creating The Live Action
Talking about Hollywood having a ¡®history of failures¡¯ with Live Action, Eiichiro said as per New York Times
¡°Thankfully, Netflix agreed that they wouldn¡¯t go out with the show until I agreed it was satisfactory,¡± Oda said. ¡°I read the scripts, gave notes and acted as a guard dog to ensure the material was being adapted in the correct way.¡±
He talked about what needs to be done to make a live-aciton adaptation work. ¡°A good live-action show doesn¡¯t have to change the story too much. The most important thing is whether the actors can reproduce the characters in a way that will satisfy the people who read the manga. I think we did it well, so I hope audiences will accept it.¡±
He was also impressed with I?aki Godoy, who was cast as the lead, Luffy. ¡°I didn¡¯t expect to find anyone quite like I?aki Godoy. When I first created Luffy, I drew the most energetic child I could imagine: a normal child on the outside, but not at all normal on the inside. I?aki was just like the person I drew; he felt absolutely natural.¡±
