One Piece takes the No. 1 spot.
Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Netflix's live-action One Piece adaptation has become a smash hit upon release, breaking the streamer's long-time curse related to anime adaptations. Originally a manga that was adapted into an anime and now a Netflix original, One Piece tells the story of Monkey D.
According to Netflix Tudum, within its first week of premiering, One Piece amassed a staggering 18.5 million views, topping the streamer's TV chart and significantly surpassing the viewership of other titles.
How One Piece Succeeds Where Other Anime Adaptations Failed One Piece's success is especially impressive in light of Netflix's poor track record with adaptations. The show is being celebrated on multiple fronts, speaking to the many aspects of it that make it stand out from its predecessors. Director Emma Sullivan spoke about how she tried to translate the emotion of the anime to live-action while recognizing the latter's limitations.
One Piece also delivers impressive visuals, with the costuming, hair, and makeup translating really well on the screen to encompass the essence of the original anime. The CGI is also spot-on for the more fantastical moments, such as Luffy's stretching or Buggy the Clown's bodily dismemberment, appearing very smooth and lifelike.
