This is the exact feeling I got when I watch the live-action Rurouni Kenshin movies, which at the time, I thought was the peak when it comes to Shonen Jump adaptations. #OnePieceNetflix might have surpassed that if the quality stays consistent. pic.twitter.com/p3g9fT8fYx

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.¡±
netflix
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.¡±
netflix
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.¡±
You can stream One Piece Live Action On Netflix.
