Hopeful but hesitant (as with any Netflix production)
Luckily Oda is serving as an executive producer so he should be able to provide some guiderails. |

This more so than any other production is proof that Netflix sees live action anime as their next great frontier for original IP, more so than indie comics or deals with other studios. And considering the length of the manga, the extremely cartoon nature of the art, etc, will likely be Netflix’s greatest test that they won’t all be Death Note.
Still no cast announcements. That’s going to be where people really make their decisions. |

This actually makes me feel a lot better. Still hesitant given that never in a million years I'd ever think that a live-action One Piece movie would be a thing but here we are. |

I have no faith in this. One Piece is so difficult to adapt into live-action and you know that this story will be 'streamlined' to fit average audiences.

So, I am not going to say this will be good. I also have my doubts. However, I highly reccomend to listen to the youtube one piece fan Reverie, where they interview the script writer. The man is actually extremely knowledgable and a fan of the series. They said they want to try to be as accurate to the manga as possible. I still am not sure if it will be as well written or if you can do the story properly, but the writer got Oda's personal approval after speaking to him directly. |

I think most of the complaints will be from the CG. We already have an example of bad stretching effects (Mr. Fantastic) so I don't have high hopes. It's definitely going to look cheesy because of the amounts of effects required due to the devil fruit powers. |

Well, for a script, it does seem fitting.

I think what I'm most interested in hearing is whether or not they plan to try and use the nationalities Oda once gave for the characters (Luffy = Brazilian, Zoro = Japanese, Nami = Swedish, etc) as a casting guide.

I don't particularly have much faith in this production, but at the same time I'm very curious how it will turn out.
Like, how does one adapt One Piece into live-action. I feel the art style of the series is a big contributer to its appeal and success. Now I just wonder how Zoro will be done. You know, because the picture of a real actor with a sword in his mouth just sounds hilarious to me lol. |

They had a script for DB: Evolution, too...

DB Evolution is the scar on anime fan’s psyches that will never go away. Granted, it’s because it was the first adaptation of any consequence (no one counts the French Crying Freeman or the Guyver films), but after a while, it feels like saying the Dark Knight trilogy was guaranteed to suck because Batman and Robin existed. |

This to me is the biggest challenge of this production. One Piece isn't a super complicated story to script. It's very straight forward, the most difficult part there being how to land the series' trademark emotional highs. It might have been different if we were given One Piece as an idea and they had to write an entirely new script off that, but they are only adapting an existing story that itself was already adapted for broadcast in the form of the anime. Getting the script right is not easy, but it's probably the easiest part of this entire effort, so I don't afford much credit for getting past the starting gate. One Piece, however, is twice as much a visual spectacle as it is a literary one. And unlike more typical fare, that spectacle isn't born of big explosions and gory splatters of blood and body parts. The manifestation of the Devil Fruit powers in these lengthy set-piece battles are a critical part of the series, and I don't know that any live-action series has quite done that. The closest has probably been the Avengers movies, and even there you don't have a guy whose limbs are stretching all over the place, or another wielding three swords, in a more than few second long clip before panning to some other more pedestrian event. |

Wait do we actually have the script released? All I see posted are the cover of the script and logo, but nothing inside. |

Why waste so much money so we can see something so laughable stupid. Because here's the thing, in animation you can have Luffy stretch his body and it not be goofy if done right. You can't do that in live action because that suspension of disbelief that you have in animation is not there. And that's just one aspect of the title to deal with, wait until you get to anthropomorphic talking reindeer and clown whose body breaks apart.
