Netflix’s live-action series One Piece is a long time coming. But that will change soon. The streaming giant is announcing a summer event and the adaptation looks set to feature prominently there.
My Hero Academia, One Piece… Netflix isn’t afraid to adapt manga for large live-action communities. The streaming giant has tried the exercise multiple times, with the result we know. Death Note, Cowboy Bepop and several other works are often referred to as “massacre” by manga enthusiasts. But the platform signs and perseveres, strongly believing in its future programs. With the One Piece series, Netflix faces a major challenge: fulfilling the long-standing dream of Eiichiro Oda, the manga’s creator, and convincing readers of the work. The platform is cautious in communicating about its adaptation, content to give us an overview of the characters from behind. But we should soon finally learn what Luffy and his crew will really look like soon.
