As a one piece fan, I was so prepared to be disappointed.
I am actually blown away. I made my kids into One Piece fans.
The story follows the comic. I'm thrilled about season 2.
I don’t know anything about one piece other than how insanely popular it is in Japan. I heard the live action show was pleasing fans so I gave it a go. It’s definitely for kids, but it reminds me so much of watching power rangers in the 90s that I can’t help but enjoy myself with every episode. Now I’m actually curious about the manga or anime.
I watch the anime for 15 years now and i think its very hard to start with it. A lot of things changed. I think the anime grew for itself when hitting 500/600 episodes. But they have grest character arcs and you feel with them. I miss this in a lot of series/animes.
Something that concerns me, the visual effects. It goes very crazy with devil fruits in the anime and i think the real live OnePiece will get big big problems after 2 seasons. Or they have to change a lot of things. They would hit an uncanny valley of human monsters if they adapt everything 😂
Yeah, I think Buggy said it best with, "Where's the dancing lion?" I think the show creators were very aware of what they could or could not accomplish with their budget, and Arlong seems to be the limit. Interested to see how they tackle Chopper. If they can get the requisite amount of CG to do that well without landing in the uncanny valley, the sky may very well be the limit (next stop Skypiea).
Whatever the paddington and rocket racoon folks did worked well. I think the same techniques could be applied to chopper.
Here's an example of what paddington cgi looks like if you're unfamiliar: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=sw7RElt-SvE
Here's rocket racoon: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=J_BGhNW6hSY&pp=ygUNcm9ja2V0IHJhY29vbg%3D%3D
I think chopper in the same style as either of them would look good.
Agreed that it's possible, just very very expensive to make it look good. For Chopper, I think they'll pay up, but I'll bet there will be a lot of devil fruit users who get cut purely because showing them on screen costs too much money for too little payoff. Which is unfortunate, but understandable.
Yep, didn't hachi get cut from arlong park? Those tentacles are too hard to make.
That was my thought as well. If they're not going to composite Arlong's nose into every shot, a whole octopus man is far out of the question. But so help me God if they cut Karoo...
