If they do good there, I'll have hope for One Piece. I do appreciate the casting choices for One Piece, alot of them look like the characters they are playing, without any makeup/clothing/special effects etc. I don't think CB is a good benchmark because CB doesn't really have super powers and is strongly influenced by English media anyways. To boot CB is originally one season and there arguably is already a live action series with strong similarities in firefly. | ||

I mean the base of One Piece is just a young boy wanting to be a pirate, it doesn't get super heavy with powers until later on. They could more easily do OP than CB imo, space and all the futuristic cities are alot more CGI intensive than some devil fruit powers. They don't have to even go very far with the first season of OP, however long it takes to get Luffy to meet Sanji realistically which is only like 20 episodes of the anime. | ||

Practical effects and sets (which would IMO make the Merry look much better) don't have a great track record with netflix though. The thing about OP is a live action is its a combination of realism and over the topness. Like, the first episode of the series would be just a bunch of guys in a bar drinking, a boy eating a nasty rubber fruit. Then those pirates just murdering some bandits and then a fucking sea dragon appears. | ||

But I get your point and these are much much easier to do than OP. Also both were Japanese productions, I've heard only bad things about netflix anime live action adaptions. Really? I really loved kakegurui | ||

There is a live action kakegurui? All I could find was an anime.

Imo CB is pretty low on the futuristic elements and there was a lot of space based scifi in the past, including a lot of series without a ton of budget. You can do a lot with practical effects instead of CGI, especially in a series like CB which doesn't have a ton of space fights, exclusively humans and where buildings etc are mostly based on already existing ones. CB's depiction of the future is mostly about introducing interstellar travel and else moving cultural elements into the future. A lot of planets have basically no scifi elements at all unless you count Spike flying around in his fighter. Luffy without Gum Gum on the other hand sounds really odd to me and I really struggle to imagine how that's ever gonna look good in a live action movie. Or like others said how they're going to hit the over-the-top tongue in cheek humor of one piece. There's no doubt which project I'd rather direct between a ragtag family of misfits in space with film-noir elements and an over the top pirate adventure with superpowers. One of these two is way closer to normal mainstream US television and can lean on star trek and firefly. | ||

I also think early OP is weaker, it doesnt really hit it's stride until Arlong Park, and even then the point I start watching One Piece from is Water 7. Theres so much content to get to before all of the pay off stuff... I don't see how One Piece can really be adapted successfully? It'd require a colossal amount of pruning and some Dennis Villeneuve level aesthetic adaptation intelligence. | ||

Did you know that Keanu Reeves wanted to do a Cowboy Bebop movie a while ago? It never happened because of budgetary issues, but then we got John Wick instead. Now obviously they're not the same story, but they definitely rhyme in major ways. I'm glad they're making major changes to the premise. It might still be shit, but it has a much higher chance of succeeding. | ||

Maybe it'd be like, launching his teeth like bullets, or uh, somethin' to do with tiny T-rex arms? | ||

Seems like Zoro isn’t gonna be descended from Wano after all. Nice. | ||

I'm fairly certain Zoro is descendent from Wano. Did you already forget the Zoro looking dude from the flashbacks? He's also just the right age to be born outside of Wano after Kaido took over. | ||
