ONE PIECE Live Action - Episodes Discussion Thread
- Thread starter Doggo
- Start date
For me the first two episodes were pretty good but the downfall began after that with Baratie being the lowest point. But it redeemed itself a bit in Arlong park and Coco village.
Still need to see the last two episodes, but overall the Live Action is good.
Not amazing. Not awful.
The emotional parts from the anime do hit in the show as well, to varying degrees but they don't fall flat.
The dialogue is the biggest hurdle they need to overcome. Followed by the directing (I mostly mean camera angles here). I get rushing the plot, but you gotta let scenes breathe, and to do that you need more set up shots, more shots where the environment reflects thr character's mood, more ambiance lighting, cinematic shots etc.
The second season will deliver on all those fronts for sure. This season was a test drive and, in my layman opinion, they got their money's worth.

Things I liked:
Things I liked:
- Sanji and Zeff backstory was done as perfectly as it could have been. Also they actually went with eating the leg part. Shows Oda really was involved.
- Zeff and Garp talking down was a nice addition. It served well to introduce new generation talk.
- Buggy was used in a perfect way. His jokes were mostly spot on.
- Arlong despite his criticised looks, was genuinely portrayed as a dangerous villain and Luffy actually used tricks to beat him.
- Nami backstory was alright but the villagers and Nojiko should have known her true story all along.
- Sanji and Zoro’s rivalry was done justice.
- Nami and Luffy scene went just as I thought it would in live action. They did it justice.
- The final fight despite being short covered all key moments from the manga battle. Luffy getting triggered from the word “use” was perfect.
- Garp going through all those trouble just to test Luffy. Also he should’ve ended his conversation with Luffy saying since he’s his grandson he’s not going to arrest him here with Bogard correcting him let’s just say they got away.
- Nami confronting Arlong after he betrayed her should’ve been added. Really thought she was running towards Arlong park.
- Villagers not being present to witness Arlong Park fall.
