    Yeah it's a bit all over the place with pacing.

    Yeah, Luffy was pretty useless the whole of little garden lol.

    I think Mr.3 did a pretty great job. Miss Valentine and Mr 5 was decent too.

    Also, is it just me or sometimes it seems like a low budget fan project? Like bro the random shoe change

    Between last 2 updates OP circulation jumped like some 85 million of which like 50 million was outside japan.
    Before that i don't think OP was more popular outside japan than it was in japan
    Also i am not saying sale bump is because of only LA but it is one of the reason.
    People will like things which you are i may not like.

    From wiki about 2023 show

    The series ended the year as the most-watched Netflix show (among individual series seasons) during the second half of 2023, with 541.9 million hours watched by 71.6 million viewers in four months.[145][146] In addition, it helped increase viewership for the One Piece anime, which topped the Netflix anime charts with 479 million hours watched during the second half of 2023, more than double the first half of the year.[147]

    Obviously they are not
    Sanji is not sexual harasser here simping for like 3/4th of char like in manga

    You cannot except LA adaptation to be 100% accurate not even 50%

    Onr piece had a wacky art style along woth very comic heavy tone even during massive conflict

    You cannot adapt tha 1 to 1

    Also the makers are racing against tome to adapt whatever they can

    Emily Rudd is 33 playing some 18 y.o
    How long can it last

    I thought you meant the manga hence me saying Wit's anime will probably get more into it. As f or the anime increase, I don't really follow what netflix does, but it could also be caused by them having more of it available than previously. Streaming services often only have a portion of things and then sometimes that opens up to more.

    I couldn't comment on the manga's sales numbers I really have no idea outside of it seemingly being in decline (not overall sales but each volume was selling less iirc).

    I think the critique can even maybe less they are cutting stuff, but some of the choices as to what is left out and what is (Added in some cases) left in.

    Obviously they will cut stuff which they can't adapt. They didn't adapt gaimon in p1
    They left karoo out for most part and yeah people can say i liked this stuff and that stuff but at the end of the day they need to cramp up like many chaps in 16 episodes and still amke it workable

    They have managed to adapt like what 20% story in 2 season(16 ep) which does mean they will cut many partys to reach there

    Still remember p1 covers 95 chaps while part like 60 so they have been getting better at it.

    Still if people want anime like experience from this i don't think they are being honest.

    It would be much easier to adapt naruto where like 99% chars are human than doing so in one piece where neither most chars are human but they are wacky and many of they time they literally movies islnd to island

    Yeah you are right and same manga numbers cam also be becoz of other reasons but i myself have seen many people watch it who are not one piece fan and enjoy it
    That does not mean it is true everywhere but it is win for author then i think he will take it

    At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure the IP belongs to Shueisha so I believe they are the ones that make the decision about LA happening, etc and the rest is marketing from Oda to sell it, but yes, I think you gain more people as fans (obviously) then if it didn't exist, but just I can't imagine many people would go from live action to reading the manga. You can see the legal fight for the Dragon Ball IP as some proof of that.

    Yeah, I largely agree, I just meant that they add in some stuff where they could instead not cut certain things out to add in the alternative LA-canon stuff. But they are probably doing that to try and fill in the characters they have, otherwise you'd be bringing actors in for like 5 minutes and it just wouldn't work.

    I mean they obviously know they can't adapt everything so probably trying to flesh out some chars as much as they can who later becomes important like smoker in alabasta

    My problem is they are not giving characters justice.

    And when and if newcomers come, they will be in a shock because say Sanji in OPLA is the exact opposite of manga Sanji.

    That's what I'm getting at, also you talking about pacing...bruv they focus on characters which no one cares about like Mr.5, blud got bodied. But then they cut out stuff like Karoo who people like lol

    Idk it's very weird also changing some stuff and revealing stuff early just ruins it for people who will eventually continue reading manga or anime.

    Roger having a son and Brook being the one Laboon waits for are massive plotpoints for Ace and Brook's introduction...

    Many things they are probably revealing becoz they definitely know they wont be adapting more than lets say 300-400 chaps.
    They probably teased ace becoz he will be there in 3rd season

    If sanji's LA chars start falling in love with every girl he meets and starts drooling he might come out as very very creepy.
    Also remember the actor who plays sanji is 30 y.o spanish/british guy. He is can portray sanji as good cook but i doubt he will want to portray his as sexual harasser extreme

    Yeah but it's not the point who and how old he is, he is playing a character and Sanji in OPLA isn't half of what makes Sanji good in manga. His Mr. Prince perosna was top tier, in OPLA it just not it.

    Sanji lost all his smartness and what makes Sanji, Sanji. Him being cool and then switch off at Nami or Vivi is what makes him fun.

    In OPLA he just winks and plays a fuckboy lol

    Yup was interesting seeing the royals.

    Yeah, iirc Ace went to Drum kingdom after they had been or maybe before and left a note for luffy didn't he?

    lol, even usopp seems a bit confrontational at times

    why the random tie in with baroque works, wapol and blackbeard scheming.

    Man, transformed chopper seems like nightmare fuel but little chopper is decent.

    Kureha did a great job.
