Yo! Coming back with another thing i saw… i watched One piece live action!! And like it was actually pretty good!! I made a post on twitter about how like i really appreciate content being different than the source material since its like “i’ve already seen the source material!! Give me somethin new!! So i really enjoyed the differences between this and the anime/manga!!
(SPOILERS OBVIOUSLY)
THERE WAS SO MUCH MORE BUGGY AND KOBY CONTENT!!! I loved these two and i hate how they don’t really get their moment untill like the middle of the series in the anime/manga!! So getting to see so much of there antics in romance dawn was nice!! LIke specifically buggy!! I love him so much and i'm glad they made him so goofy!! They did sooo good in the costume and effects!! Like one of my fears with this series was how they were gonna do the devil fruit abilities cause like they get very body horror-esk… i hope all the vfx people got a living wage since they served lol. I also love what they did with sanji's character!! While like i'm pretty indifferent to cartoon perverts it was nice that they did more to his character!! I love that he’s kind to luffy!! Its just cute :D
The only stuff i didn’t really like was how they made luffys character less luffy? Like they gave him like slight dad issues with the whole garp thing being introduced so early and like his apprehension to doing pirate stuff?? Like i may just be misremembering the series but like i remember him being more mischievous and down for crimes!! Like “i'm not like other pirates!” bro ur still a pirate!!! And going back to the garp thing! While there were definitely clues in early one piece that garp was luffys grandpa the reveal after enies lobby was so fucking cool!! Its like luffy just declared war on the whole government and most of the crew is all together and BOOM they drop that garp is his grandpa!! It's a huge deal!! In OPLA they just kinda see him and luffy goes “grandpa :O “ like!! Thats so anti-climatic compared to water 7!!! I'm assuming they're gonna just use that energy for dragons reveal? Idk
But over all i think this is such a good condensed version of one piece!! Like i know not everyone is down to reread/watch one piece again (unlike me lol) so this was so fun to remind me of everything that happened in romance dawn! I'm super excited for the next season since i wanna know what they do with chopper!! Honestly i hope they do some silly little puppet (like old starwars movies) or just put a real reindeer on set, like no training or anything they just release a deer on set! Anyways my next post should be about kengen ashura since the new season drops tomorrow!!
