Aight, the second trailer actually looks super cool! I'm still skeptical abt how it's gonna be like when watchin 1 hour episodes, but this gives me hope! Looks like they captured the essence of OP and this was obvs done w/ a lot of care and respect toward the original material.
Makin a live version of Buggy was a big risk, yet he's prob the part of the trailer that impresses me the most. Gives off scary clown, Jokerlike vibes, which is a rly smart choice cause goin w/ an overly goofy version similar to his manga counterpart would've fallen flat and made the show look too stupid imo. The CGI for his power looks rly good too!
I was scared abt how they were gonna handle Arlong's design, but he looks great! He's menacing, his voice's perfect and his face looks scary and realistic. He should've been taller and bulkier, but I guess they want Luffy's victories to feel realistic, so his enemies won't look too big compared to him.
Just wish Roger's actor was more charismatic. Liked his laugh, but other than that, he's not rly impressive or captivating. Also, Mihawk's sword looks a lil fake w/ the big plastic cross on it, they should've gone w/ a smaller and metal cross, but not a big deal.
If it's successful, there's crazy potential for a season 2, they could film Arabasta events in a natural and beautiful desert landscape. And makin a convincing and badass version of Crocodile wouldn't be as tricky as it was to pull it off w/ Buggy and Arlong. No idea what they'd do w/ Chopper though, he's one of the main chars and they might have to use CGI constantly for him, which I'm not sure they'd have the budget for.
But let's not get ahead of ourselves and see what that first season has to offer.
