Just wondering what people who have watched Netflix's new One Piece series think.

They don't have the greatest track record with anime adaptions so I'm afraid to watch it. I thought Cowboy Bebop was alright. Although they kind of butchered Vicious and Julia, imo, the people who played Spike and Jet did well enough that it was able to sustain my interest for awhile but not long enough to finish it. Death Note was barely like the original at all. The only good thing I can say was Lakeith Stanfield's L portrayal and Willem Dafoe's Ryuk.

But this series seems to be trending, so maybe they've finally done it?

    It's possible to get really anal about the things that they've cut out to keep things moving, but honestly I was blown away by how well they've transitioned the feel to live action. Everything about it is slightly hammed up in a way that really helps sell the fantasy, and the cgi really works.
