Steve Maeda, the showrunner of Netflix's One Piece, is detailing the role Eiichiro Oda played in the series.
Netflix's One Piece has done it at last. Hollywood has long faced troubles tackling anime, but the team at Tomorrow Studios did it right. Following the show's launch in late August, One Piece earned high praise across the globe, and much of its success was accredited to series creator Eiichiro Oda. The artist worked hard on the live-action adaptation, and show runner Steve Maeda seconded that truth in a recent interview.
"It was incredibly valuable having him and it wasn't easy. He is challenging. He is very opinionated and he's right about a lot of what he says. And so we tried to follow that to the best of our ability. But it's also an episode, an episode. It's a season of television as opposed to 85 manga chapters.
As you can see, Maeda and the entire executive team behind Netflix's One Piece worked in hand with Shueisha. Oda and his team have spent decades with the Straw Hats, so there is no better team to bring the pirates to life. Still, the difference between manga and live-action television is huge. It took experts on both sides to nail Netflix's One Piece, and thankfully Maeda's team made that happen.
