Misaka Posted July 25, 2017 Share Posted July 25, 2017 Well yeah, live action anime adaptations almost always suck. But my point is that something like Dragon Ball or Bebop COULD feasibly be done well. One Piece... can't. I can't see any way that there could be a good adaptation of it. Well that move could force jump to do what they did with bleach Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jman Posted July 25, 2017 Author Share Posted July 25, 2017 No one counts these $3 productions. We've had one LA Dragonball movie - Man of Steel. Unfortunately we also had Ghost in the Shell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandstone Posted August 10, 2017 Share Posted August 10, 2017 I am a longgggg time One Piece fan at this point. I watch sub pretty much exclusively and have also read quite a bit of the Manga. I would like to see this on 2 conditions. Condition number 1: The majority of the source material for the show comes from the Manga/Anime,even if there is some retelling aspects or some artistic liberties. What I don't want is a "One Piece" in name only tv show. Condition number 2: The actors, and effects are decent to good territory in pretty much all instances. I think this would require a bigger budget, if this is not picked up by a network with a record for producing high quality big-budget investment series such as AMC, HBO, FX, or Netflix.... I am going to be VERY skeptical about the quality coming out of this show. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blueraven1999 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 I'm sure it will be bad, but I hope whoever they cast as Usopp and Brook have some talent. A CGI version of Chopper sounds terrible. I bet the show won't last long. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PokeNirvash Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Personally, I'm expecting them to produce it up to the end of Arlong Park. Seems like a fitting place to end a live-action run, just as Thriller Bark was for the Toonami run of the original. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then tell them no one wants to see Confederate. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 To be fair, everyone was cast pretty well, except for Goku. Yamcha was just the right amount of douche. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would have to have the right kind of character, tone, and effects. I mean, if Lord of the Rings could be made and done well, so could this. Hellboy came off well. I mean, it's possible. Do we know what company/network/etc is going to be involved? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ben0119 Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 you know actually.....considering Oda confirmed that the Straw hats are multiethnic, at least from a whitewashing standpoint this might not be so awful since it's hard to whitewash a show when it already has white characters Luffy = Brazillian Nami = Swedish Zoro = Japanese Sanji = French Usopp = "African" (in other words he's black) Chopper = Canadian Robin = Russian Franky = "American" (so, white I guess, based on Japan's idea of what American means) Brook = Austrian (although he's based on Slash....who is black) Not sure if I would consider Brazilians white. Most have an olive, maybe bronze complexion, but there's some darker skinned people too. I'd say they're pretty diverse. I suppose there's possibly some "white" Brazilians. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brazilians#Dispersal_of_races_and_colours_in_the_country Okay so there are. But like I thought pretty diverse. But ffs who the fuck is the person who wrote this and put shit like "Yellow coloured people?" Because Chopper's a reindeer, heh. Slash doesn't look black.

PokeNirvash Posted August 17, 2017 Share Posted August 17, 2017 Slash doesn't look black. That's because he's only half-black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptainStarwind Posted August 18, 2017 Share Posted August 18, 2017 Ya know, after thinking about this for a bit, I'm actually sort of excited to see this happen. Imagine what a train wreck this is going to be! This has the potential to be Fant4stic bad. The enjoyable kind of bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
