One Piece would pose some real technical challenges, even with CGI effects. Buggy anyone?

However, I'd like to see it done. I think it would be fun for everyone, not just the ladies.

One Piece would be awful as live action

Now Chihayafuru on the other hand could be really good.

A live action Doraemon? Even speaking as a Dora-fan.....nnnnnno.

(Geena Davis raised our hopes years ago with ideas for a Sailor Moon movie--I had ideas for fixing its many flaws, but nobody asked me. Sad )

I am all about Chihayafuru. I looked up karuta competitions on youtube, blew my mind. I thought it was just an anime, but they move that fast in real life. It's amazing to watch.

Chihayafuru is a perfect title to make into a live-action for both men and women. You ladies out there get to ogle 3D Taichi, while us men can enjoy 3D Kanade. Win-win for everyone.

I would definitely be on board for a live action Chihayafuru, provided the nigh-supernatural karuta skills they display can be properly translated to real human beings lol. Rolling Eyes

I'd think there would be casting challenges for the ladies on screen. Well, if you want to keep them all natural anyways Laughing

Maybe it could be based on the early chapters which had more realistic proportions?

It's almost like Oda deliberately made the chests progressively bigger as his audience grew up into adulthood.

It's some proposed dimension by the leading physicists and astronomers or something. They use it to describe certain phenomena that don't exist in the real world.

They aren't that supernatural. Watch some Karuta on youtube. Those peeps are fast.
