    X X X X X X X X One Piece renewed for season 2!
  • @deadsoon
    Not to mention, female characters in OP are actually well written and have a personality outside of the girl boss trope that doesn't allow them to be human. They're just people with different motivations and personalities.
  • @skyuru
    "Because these modern writers are thinking always that they can make something more better than the original" And this is why they fail...
  • Netflix when they see that actually sticking to the source material makes a sucessful adaptation: omg who could've have predicted this😱😱😱
  • @saranaila5905
    People really forget how hard and brave it is for someone who relied solely on themselves to ask for help. She's strong enough to get over herself and think for what's best and ask for help not for herself cause we knoe she can run away on her own but for the people she love. And i admire that way more than suffering on ur own.

    Western writers forgot how to have fun. Let's hope One Piece remembers them. We want entertainment, not agendas
  • @panjamysy
    The writers for One Piece KNOW the source material and they love this story. You can FEEL the love they put into it, you can see from all the easter eggs and the designs and...everything. The actors care about the story, the writers, the directors, everyone.
  • @Kaeldra3
    Zoro’s backstory is what hit it home for me… cause the fact that we got Kuina saying what she did and sticking to the source material shows how much respect the show runners have for Oda’s work.
  • @HiroIndo16
    1. respect the creator 2. don't make unecessary changes 3. CONSULT THE CREATOR it's that easy guys
  • And the most amazing part is, this is not a 1:1 adaptation. They did make changes here and there, and not even small changes, and yet still, EVERYONE loves this one piece adaptation. A slightly different script in order to be able to actually adapt a work, and yet still respectful to the heart and soul of the source material. These absolute frauds from other studios have ZERO excuses. NONE. The One Piece adaptation did everything these people claimed to be doing (including diversity lol), and yet people love it. No more excuses for these people.
  • It's actually wild to hear about showrunners ignoring source material or even proudly stating they never touched/interacted with it. Almost begs the follow up question.. why do you think you are qualified to bring this to the screen then?
  • @veturwiedder8937
    You cant find a romance in the One Piece, but u will find love in One Piece
  • @shiredude87
    Oda put his foot down, clearly said, you want my story, you do it my way, and fair play to him for doing it, its a beloved story and hes spent essentially 26 years of his life writing it, any writer whose got a big enough head to think they know better than him how it should be written shouldn't be working on it
  • Honestly Hollywood's biggest problem is that it's full of Writers Rooms that have people who don't like to read. It's not really talked about like a serious thing, but a writer who doesn't like to read is like a person who talks at you instead of to you. They're about their ideas, their POV, their concepts. The greatest writers are spoken about in the same tone as the greatest painters because they challenged themselves to master an artform and find individuality after. A lot of college graduated writers don't really master the artform as much as they master the process, and the fact they don't care to read makes them narrow. I know it seems weird, but it's like that. Matt Owens read One Piece, and I'm pretty sure Steven Maeda had as well. I know Matt Owens had communicated a lot with the Fandom directly and he showed what the series meant to him. He read One Piece and he loved Oda's ideas. He recognizes Oda as a master of the Artform and someone to learn from.
  • Been seeing a lot of reaction videos of OPLA from non-one piece fans and the fact that it made them laugh and cry the same way the manga did for me the first time is a testament enough of how good the live action adaptation is.
  • @mreverything7056
    My biggest problem with adaptations is that these writers always go in with the “What should we change?” or “How do we make this different?” mindset. It always feels like those writers WANT to be different, and leave their mark on a story, instead of just adapting it. One Piece feels more like it was a passion project made by fans of the series, and not just someone who’s trying to twist the story into “theirs”. The actors love One Piece. The changes feel concise and cut out only small details. There’s references to FUTURE EVENTS of one piece (Jaya and Jinbei come to mind). And (imo) most importantly, Oda (writer of One Piece) was involved, and oversaw the project.
  • @Eddman368
    They really nailed it with Luffy's actor, an infectious ball of energy.
  • @WarriorVeldoren
    One was able to meet a god, the other couldn't even meet a queen. Badass line
  • I've never seen a Netflix show or any other show gets renewed for another season this fast, it's crazy
  • @deecilla5087
    One of the biggest draws of One Piece is the 'nakama' aspect of the show. Your own chosen family. That's honestly one of the biggest reasons why I love OP. Friendship is so underrated and it annoys me when romance suddenly pops up in a story. Just to be clear, I have nothing against romance. However, for it to be forced in a plot kinda ruins it for me. The NamixZorro thing would have killed this show. I'm not even exaggerating. The moments when they bicker in the manga just warms my heart. They're like cantankerous siblings with each other. Romance would kill that.
