honestly live action anime should not be hard to fuck up. In most cases you literally have 2 media formats to pull from. you need storyboards? cool you got the manga. want to see how those storyboards play out? awesome you got the anime. now take those and just make them with real people.
there’s a reason why you’re adapting it to live action. it’s popular, it’s successful, no need to make the wheel smoother.
Yet this one changed the story and characters unnecessarily. I mean I guess we don’t want frame by frame but when they change the main characters choices and behaviour and westernise it by smoothing it a lot of weird stuff (and then add other weird of lower quality) it makes a fan like me sad.
They aren’t going to make over a 1000 episodes for the live action, so they have to cut a lot of stuff. I honestly doubt we’ll get that far into the story as it is (given the rate they’re making it).
Honestly live action of animated formats always suffers, just look at all the Disney live actions. They’re not even limited by runtime and they feel a little less magical/right.
Totally agree, but for example in the manga Luffy is completely uninterested in why Nami betrays them because he knows she’s good and he made his mind up already so it doesn’t matter to him. That’s how he is.
In the live action he starts investigating it instead, which makes him more generic in actually more screen time, and one piece is a LOT about Luffy. If the screen writers don’t get him I don’t have high hopes.
On the other hand, supposedly Oda signed off on everything so maybe the details that are important to me aren’t that great of a deal…

Oda literally had the last word on what gets in the final cut.
The version is just fine.
Yeah I know. Which makes me think that some things that are important to me might not be that important to him I guess.
I’ve read the comics since I was young and now I’m 43 and apparently find it important that this manga adaptation is the way I want it 🤷♂️
