This was my personal point of view or opinion after watching the live action series which was adapted from this famous manga/anime. However, before going there, I'd like to explain how I felt about the manga itself. A few years ago, or exactly a decade ago, the argument about which manga is the best that time was intense between some fans. Especially Naruto and One Piece fans. I personally rooted for Naruto since I already became a big fan. Therefore, it kind of annoyed me when some people underrated the series. It happened so often that the so called OP fans bragged about OP is way better than Naruto. To try to give an objective opinion, I then tried to read the manga and watched some early episodes of OP. However, I eventually dropped it since perhaps it was not to my liking. The art is awesome and the story is not ordinary, however, I found it overwhelming and imaginary to the fullest as I saw it. My friend tried to persuade me to keep on watching or reading but as to the amount of thousands of anime episodes and hundreds of chapters to read, I just give up since it is time consuming and I'm not ready for another heartbreak after Naruto and Bleach ended in a way that made me disappointed.
Long story short, I've seen on social medias that Netflix will make an adaptation for OP. I became so curious about it and as to learn that live action will not be as long as the anime or manga, therefore, I will give some times to watch it. However, perhaps, again my expectation was too high on it. I don't mind about the casting although somehow I expect more from Luffy character. I didn't feel his charisma as the main character. The costume, the set and the story were OK and true to the manga. What bothered me the most was the fighting scenes. Maybe I watched it with a lot of real Japanese live action movies in mind such as Rurouni Kenshin and else with awesome action scenes. I somehow got a bit boring and playing it faster just to know what next til the end of the last episodes of this season 1. The season 2 was already confirmed to be made, but I might just skip it unless, I have more free time for it. The picture is my fan art but the poster is the official poster which is not mine but belongs to the rightful owner.
