Finally, an anime adaptation worthy of the King of the Pirates.
The Big Picture Netflix's live-action One Piece adaptation is finally here and has defied all the odds to become a brilliant anime adaptation that works marvelously where others have failed miserably. Co-creators Steven Maeda and Matt Owens have crafted a phenomenally entertaining adventure series that holds legitimate reverence for Eiichirô Oda's beloved source material.
A prime example is Death Note, which does little to tell the story of such a dark and compelling storyline properly. Despite the pitch-perfect casting of Willem Dafoe as Ryuk, the 2017 Death Note film is a tonally confused and visually uninspired mess that fails to tell this tragic tale with any grace. Hopefully, the Duffer Brothers' upcoming remake can do the source material justice. Another misfire from Netflix is the Cowboy Bebop live-action series.
Netflix's 'One Piece' Embraces the Franchise's Goofy Elements While the general concept of One Piece is rather simple, it follows suit with other anime shows by having plenty of goofy and unrealistic elements. Many credit elements like this as the reasons live-action adaptations fail, with the fantastical elements not translating well.
