Can’t believe you picked the one scene they recreated almost perfectly as the example of inferior quality, I don’t know how anyone could be unhappy with that specific part :kaidowhat:

Came here to post the season 2 news, I see I was beaten to the punch…but unlike before this first season was released, I’m actually excited about another LA adaptation for the first time in…huh, for the very first time :robinsweat::jinbewat::brootea:

My fiancée (who has never read/watched/listened to me complain about OP) also really loved the show and pointed out something that separates it from other LA adaptations - all of the characters were not only competently portrayed by actors who looked AND behaved like their counterparts in the...

I honestly think the different telling of familiar events is the best way to keep longtime fans entertained - it’s cool, at least to me, to know where we’re going but not how we get there. Beyond that, the chemistry between the Straw Hats feels good and fun…also, for those of you decrying the...

Incredible little dick energy throughout this whole thread, y’all could not act more insecure over the casting of an anime adaptation if you tried :beckmoji:

I can DEFINITELY see it in the eyes and cheeks, but yes, he will certainly be wearing makeup on screen to enhance the effect :sanmoji:

Some people just won’t ever be pleased no matter how close they adhere to the source material…I mean, you don’t even have to squint to see each and every one of these cats in their respective roles, they already kinda resemble their characters in these generic headshots:

Exactly, a pretty face only goes so far without talent. I’d wager that these kids went through a dozen rounds of auditions and had to be screened by Oda or other executive producers multiple times before they were announced; say what you will about OP, Netflix, or live action adaptations of...

Count me among those who aren’t bothered by the casting, these people look fine to me :kayneshrug:

Y’all think Netflix is gonna cast a show of this magnitude by reaching out to Instagram cosplayers?? :gokulaugh:

Hmm, they’re going to film for under six months? That may not be enough time to do the entirety of East Blue justice, if they’re trying to fit it all into a single season as some has posited.

Y’all know Netflix has a stated policy of “three and done” with their shows, right? Plenty of them have surpassed this mark, but way more have been cut off after a trio of seasons. I agree that each saga needs enough room to breathe and grow, but I wouldn’t expect the studio to give them 11...

A lot of their shows suffer from late stage problems - the plot and pacing become really shitty as the show goes on, but I feel like a lot of them (House of Cards/Santa Clarita Diet/BoJack Horseman) remain great for at least a few seasons.

Yeah, a lot of well written material has been completely ruined by bad acting...I’m one of those people that thinks Netflix usually gets it right with their “originals,” and God knows they have the budget to either get a bunch of big name stars OR cast unknowns more suited to the roles without...

Dude...I was worried about how they’d handle opening on Roger’s execution, but this is...possibly more inspired storytelling than anything Oda’s given us in ten years.

I’m all for shooting your shot, but this guy could not have come off any more pathetic...send this in an email or DM, putting it out into the world only means you’re setting yourself up for failure.

I hope so...and I also hope that same shit doesn’t happen with this adaptation.

Buddy...what the actual fuck are you talking about?? Literally the only thing that wasn’t horrible was Lakeith Stanfield as L, but turning Light into a white kid with a shit haircut is EXACTLY what they did in Dragonball, and that’s not the only shitty similarity between the two. I love hearing...

I’ll say this - the average Japanese person probably has a stronger grasp on English language/culture than vice versa. Oda definitely understands my experience better than I do his.

I’d argue from some of his romanizations (LEV ELY immediately springs to mind), he probably doesn’t. That’s basically what I said, though...he already goes so hard on his work that he probably doesn’t have the time or energy to oversee all adaptations thereof. This is what I have to tell myself...
