I don’t know anything about One Piece other than the fact it’s really long and super popular.
I heard the Netflix show was pleasing fans so I threw it on when my wife was around and we both ended up getting into it. We haven’t finished the whole season yet, but we will.
It reminds me of watching power rangers back in the 90s as a kid. The dialog is really elementary and clearly targets kids, but the character acting is endearing, and it’s fun to look up the original illustrations because the casting and costumes are so spot on.
I’m particularly fond of how each episode goes through some kind of story and character development, but always climaxes on some big fight scene, just like in the old power rangers shows. It’s like soul food for me.
Think it'll work as another feel-good, pleasant background show we can put on when we don't feel like serious dramas? Right now we use The Great British Bake Off and The Good Place as that.
I don’t know about those other shows, but I think that’s a perfect approach for One Piece. It’s just silly kid fun from start to finish.
