Watched the first episode.

I'm not tripping, it's actually really good, right? Like some demented fusion of Pirates of the Caribbean and tokusatsu live-action (like Karmen Rider or something). The cast and the sets make everything really charming and fun, and Inoki's take on Luffy is really carrying the show. That said, I haven't watched the original to compare.

Also, since this is relevant:

Only watched one episode but...

Very incredibly obviously low budget, which begs the question "Why do we need to keep making live action versions of high fantasy anime?" Captain Morgan's face prophetic and axe hand look like something Spirit Halloween produced on a rush order. Evil Dead was doing better than this on a college theater club budget 40 years ago.

But that's fine. Whatever. I'll keep eating this crap.

I'm more disappointed by the acting. Its... not great. I know I'm basically watching Power Rangers, but I was really hoping for more from Luffy ffs. The girl they got for Nami so clearly runs laps around everyone else on set. Shanks is solid. Zoro is good enough. But everyone else... Jesus Christ, you're professionals. Act like it.

I really wanted to like this show because I've been flirting with One Piece since forever. But God damn do these live action adaptations disappointment me every time.

Okay FINE I'll watch it

Cowboy Bebop LA burned me to a cringe crisp

One thing I do like so far: The SFX! CG doesn't look awful and the fact that the fishmen look like they're using prosthetics is super cool

One thing I don't like so far: Garp's character seems a little off to me. Much more calculating and professional than he is in the manga/anime.

My brother likes it and he's like the ultimate One Piece dude so that's neat

So, I've watched and read the first bits of both the comic and the manga. Watched the first live action episode. Was kinda of primed by the impressions in this thread, but I actually enjoyed it a lot. I honestly liked the performances a lot, especially Luffy. The performances for Nani and Zora felt pretty baseline (not bad, but not outstanding), but I liked the energy that Inaki brought. The set design felt great, and while the costuming was kinda weird, I think it matches the mix of modern & early modern clothes from the original. The score is really fun as well.
