There was so much behind it – all the effort of the actors, the building of the world and the costumes, portraying things in a way only live action can do, the dialogues – and the whole process, with so many people putting their heads together, was a celebration in itself.
Oda also made it clear how excited he is for this series to finally be available to people after seven years of work.
“Now I love the production team and cast so much that I can’t wait for them to get the recognition they deserve from everyone around the world,” said Oda.
