I finished OPLA and here are my thoughts.
There will be a time and place for criticism, but now is not that time. Now is a time for celebration. Of the greatest Live Action anime adaption to be created.
There’s gonna be very light spoilers in this, so read on if you’d like.
I think my favorite part of it all is that you can tell just how much care went into this show. This production team was truly made by fans, for fans. The little nods towards things in the future really made me keep my eyes peeled and had me freaking out over the littlest moments. Things like Binks no Sake playing in the bar, and Nami reading Nolan the Liar were my favorite. I’m sure there were hundreds of other moments, but those were the two that had my feet kicking and giggling like a maniac.
Am i blinded by biasness and clouded with my love for One Piece? Yes. I’m aware of that. But I went into this show knowing it was a new, different adventure than the one I was familiar with. It’s not perfect to the manga, and they’ve said from the beginning it wouldn’t be. I think that’s the hardest part for people: not understanding why “pointless” changes were made (there were only two changes that kind of bothered me, but we can talk about those later). Most of the changes that occurred still felt fluid and natural, giving a lot more screen time to beloved characters who we normally don’t see for hundreds of chapters. I liked that aspect. Not everyone will. But keep an open mind.
Just like when I watched the anime, I found myself smiling and laughing the whole time. Joyboy is still very alive and apparent in this live action. As an anime and manga fan, i loved this new aspect of their journey and this new medium to watch. It kept me intrigued, surprised, and so invested in my crew. Just like when I watched the anime, I had a very difficult time picking who was my “favorite”, because they’re all so enjoyable and quirky in their own way.
Are there things to improve? Absolutely. There always is. All I can hope is that it gets enough love and attention that Netflix will renew it for a season 2, and we’ll all get to explore the Grand Line and Alabasta together.
If you’re on the fence, or didn’t like the first episode and decided to drop it, I implore you to keep going. I think it gets better by the episode. And so much happens, I was never really bored. Please watch it, even if you just have it on in the background. This show is so special to so many people, and the next season cant get better if we don’t give it the chance.
#also I didn’t know where to put this in the review#BUT#THE ZOLU CONTENT?????#WARMED MY COLD DEAD HEART#like damn they really FED. US.#also if we get a season two….#ace….#please i need to see a live action Ace…#please#opla#one piece#opla thoughts#coza thoughts

Thoughts on live action one piece episode 1:
1. Loving it so far.
2. They played binks brew!
3. Love that zoro is the one to give helmeppo that terrible haircut
4. The high up marines wear their jackets with the sleeves off just like in the manga and anime and I’m here for it
5. So far they’ve done a good job of condensing the plot without taking away from the overall story

My southern Christian mother started watching the OPLA not knowing it was the newest addition of my greatest obsession and then told me that Shanks was portrayed like JESUS.
I cannot begin to explain the baffled hilarity I experienced while she likened Shanks the drunk captain of the absent parent pirates (affectionate) to JESUS H CHRIST
For those curious as to her reasoning:
- Turning the other cheek
- Telling the “dragon” to be gone like ‘be gone Satan’
- Him sacrificing his body for the life of another

yknow now that i’ve seen most of what the first season of OPLA covers in the anime & manga (minus the Garp stuff which comes later in the animanga timeline), i think i can have an informed opinion on the changes it made. so i’m gonna talk abt my thoughts in various reblogs of this post bc i just have a bunch of thoughts that aren’t all connected.

dracule mihawk let zoro live despite it being a death match and decided not to take luffy to garp just for the hell of it. add a few wild cards to the mix to spice things up. he took one look the rag tag group of straw hat pirates and said ‘bless this mess. imma let them marinate’

#when we thought the atla MIGHT be ok after opla but it turns out opla is just an exception#HS9D8FUIPJLK#annie rambles#opla#one piece#avatar the last airbender#ive heard mixed reviews about the atla live action but the consensus feels like the writers werent in tune with the source enough#where opla it really feels like the writers understand op at its core so thus were able to transform it#but maybe thats just me#80U9DSFPOJKL#i have so many thoughts on how much i liked opla i should make a separate post but like. for one not disrespecting source by#saying that the new take is ''more for adults" or whatever / all that nonsense#and again just respecting source material feels like a major difference here

Just a small detail that I wanted to highlight from Netflix’s One Piece. Even though this is clearly a Western production of a Japanese series, as you can tell from the more Hollywood-ish dialogue and action, the series isn’t completely divorced from its Japanese roots. For example, in the first episode, you can clearly tell Koby and Luffy are eating with chopsticks. And the little girl serves chocolate onigiri to Zoro.
It feels like the reverse of how anime used to be treated in the early 2000s. Remember when Pokémon had to change the name of the food to stuff like donuts and pizza? Now we have a Western show that’s based on an anime, and they’re making sure not to erase the Japanese influence in the series.

opla inspired!
#one piece#opla#opfanart#nami#monkey d. luffy#roronoa zoro#as the central guys in this little collage... and in the la! i said some of my thoughts in the previous op art tags#the la was suuuper fun and silly... i have my reservations about it but i like that it exists and its clear the crew behind it had#a lot of fun building the world + dynamic between the crew alongside koby. also iv never seen so much one piece in my space!!! im happy#this alongside the new op & ed of recent one piece anime & the manga picking up hype with luffy eughgsnkd (explodes)#anyway the mihawk appearance in opla was crazy. so was the bogard focus - he had more screentime in opla than all of the original animanga#every time he showed up i thought of the man in the yellow hat...#ruporas art

As much as I miss Luffy basically blackmailing Zoro into joining his crew, I kinda like the way they played his recruitment in the live action.
From the get go everybody seems to want Zoro on their side - Baroque Works, Marines, Luffy himself - all offering him something in return for his loyalty. And while Zoro could’ve easily walked away after Luffy freed him, he ended up following the only person who hadn’t threatened him with death in case of rejection, someone who actually gave him a choice, and I think it’s beautiful in it own way.
Also Luffy is an absolute delight to be around and no one can resist.

NO WAY I WASN'T EXPECTING TO GET SOME ACTUAL FOOD IN SEASON 1
I AM BEING FED
OH. Oh I am being well fed. I am so going to take the context out of this one.
Oh my gosh no I love Mihawk just casually tracking Shanks down because Shanks mentioned Luffy long ago.
You came all that way to see him, there is no reason to play hard to get now, Mihawk.

Mihawk is such a capricious dude, oh my god. The only dude you know who is always itching for a fight but only ever a specific kind of fight so he goes out of his way to take the path of least resistance for everything else.
Like he would rather leave than fight Don krieg, Sail away than decimate the marines, live in peace instead of challenging the other emperors for the one piece. And when they do he’d rather follow buggy’s idea of just being smarter about how they go about it instead of brute forcing it like the rest. He is constantly leaving fights but then a swordsman of mild repute and an interesting technique engages him in a battle and suddenly you have his whole attention. Like with vista it was obvious that he could have just cleared him like he did everyone else but he’d never seen the flower sword techinque and by god was he going to miss this chance. And so he engages him in what is essentially a spare.
Because Mans isn’t looking for a fight, instead, like a middle aged director of a short indie film, he’s chasing a feeling.
He wants to feel like his 19 year old self did when he was strong but there were people stronger. When there were still obstacles to overcome limits to exceed. When the world was large and exciting and he wasn’t just waiting for it to catch up with him. When he could look at Shanks as the person he is instead of the person he could have been.
He wants to look at Shanks and not see visions of a grinning red haired boy with 2 arms and a strawhat laughing in the dirt and asking for “just one more round Hawky I swear I’ll beat you this time”
But there is nowhere Mihawk can run that that boy won’t haunt him.
#ladies and gentlemen this is what we in the business call; suffering from success#what a cruel cruel capricious man#he’s more than a little excited when a certain green haired boy barges in and starts shaking shit up#suddenly he can lay that red haired boy to sleep and face Shanks as the man he is#Mihawk really isn’t concerned with anything not about swordsmanship#except your interesting or powerful enough like Luffy or whitebeard#he’s such a child I hate him 😭.#because dude will tals such a serious game about not letting foxy get away and then let Vista distract him#like my guy really can’t do anything else but let cool swordsmanship enchant him#Mihawk at heart is just a short indie film director#love him#mishanks#throwing thoughts to the void#one piece#dracule mihawk#hawkeye mihawk#op#akagami no shanks#red haired shanks#shanks#akataka#opla#mihawk x shanks
