News Matt Owens is stepping down from the OPLA

[Zoroe]

Bruh the OPLA now is 100% cooked, the dude was a big fan of OP and was carrying the production hard. For the ppl who wants the live action to be cancelled(the chances of it happening now is huge) and Oda to focus on the manga, I think this might be good news.

Nice

Great news. I hope this garbage gets cancelled so that Oda can finally finish this mid manga.

Lol why?

Understandable. But I hope somebody competent enough to continue OPLA.

More work for Oda lmao, which means more breaks incoming

I feel like the One Piece live-action was a breath of fresh air on the anime live-action scene. It was done really well imo and my entire family enjoyed it. I do hope that they can find someone new to take over his role and responsibilities. I would hate for the live-action to affect Oda's ability to put out chapters regularly

Liveaction One Piece was always a stupid idea.

Have you watched the live action Kingdom on Netflix?

Have you watched the live action Kingdom on Netflix?

No, I've only seen bits and pieces.

Liveaction Kingdom didn't have much appeal to me, but I hear they're decent. They are certainly far less ambitious than adapting something as massive and fantastical as One Piece.

I have watched both One Piece and Kingdom live-actions. I would say they are both among the best live-action adaptations of manga property I have ever seen.
I was worried that an OP live-action would crash and burn like Fullmetal, Bleach, and Death Note (US) but I was pleasantly surprised by how good it turned out.
Kingdom live-action had been hyped by a few of my friends who had already seen it. I've watched all four movies they're done really well.

The story of Kingdom is inherently more malleable to liveaction adaptations, even as a liveaction series I would say.

One Piece is not only epic in length, 20 solid years of production of abridged storytelling wouldn't be enough to do the project justice. Talent will age out of their roles and a smaller audience will return with each and every season as budgets and salaries keep going up.

Liveaction never made financial or logistical sense. It's completely impractical.

RIP Bozo ass LA, Netflix can eat shit

 

[Ven437]

Gonna be hard to fill in his shoes. OPLA was one of the few good things about OP coming out recently

 

[soupongo]

It was inherently just a bad idea. One Piece is way too cartoonish for it to work as a live action. Also way too long

 

[TheAncientCenturion]

The Live Action was a pretty cute and good show. The acting wasn't always the best with the Straw Hats but I genuinely enjoyed it.

Considering the second season ends before Alabasta, I hope we at least make it to the end of the Baroque Works Saga. That'd be a good enough place to leave the show and let Show-only fans get into the manga or anime.

 

[MonochromeYoru]

There was very low chance netflix was doing anything more than 3 seasons

now they have their excuse for the cancellation i guess
