I think Episode 8 was brilliant .
Garp accepting his grandson is following his dreams and was testing his resolve this was something missing in the manga .
I am pretty sure oda wanted Garp early in the manga . I think he would be happy with this plot .
I only wish there was Don kreig v luffy but director opted to focus more on Arlong . I wish there were more episode .

liked the live action, it just au, to bad they couldn't do it like oda written faithfully. so many character arcs changed, and character arcs felt rushed. even some characters feel out of character. where manga it build up proper in character development (mostly rushed i felt on how they handled it) but 8 episode.....
like coby actor and helmeppo (though why they felt to show him naked with kuina sword, is netflix thing i see done, like jeez)
merry died, so they named the ship marry instead of following oda vision, it was not broken. so kaya can't even have her last person who she saw as family friend with her plus usopp pirates, 3 kids gone. made usopp arc felt rushed. also changed fight scene to kaya mansion.
love buggy, but i will miss he didn't get his whole pirate crew, also him chaining up the villagers seemed out of character and came of cringe. (though more buggy screen time was nice)
don krieg was shown, but only gin showed up at the baratie, what was the point of this plot!? they didn't even expand it instead we get arlon....they screwed sanji and zeff story i felt as felt more impact emotion from manga then the live action.
also nami buried the money by her mom tangerine grove, yet netflix changes to her moms grave.......................also the whole town clueless, but manga showed they observed and aware of her and supportive.
If they focus panel by panel it would be like 15-16 episodes.

I just don't understand why there's so much cringe in the acting, directing, etc...
You could have improved this way more. It wouldn't be perfect, but it could be a long running series easily.
Any good series first and foremost needs an awesome MC. Luffy actor can't carry this show.
Side character who acted shined for me
Buggy, Alvida,Kuro , Zeff they did brilliant.
In main i would say Usopp and Nami's actor have made impact.

Show is amazing bad. Enjoyed every second. Hope there will be at least 2 seasons more before it being cancelled
Sanji
To be fair i think S2 might be interesting
They might introduce Robin, Crocodile. If they get it right i think LA can go up untill Skypiea .
Just dont see impel down or Marineford happening . Netflix wont probably renew more season they would require huge resource .
