The live-action adaptation of the One Piece series was first announced by author Eiichiro Oda in 2020. Since that time, the production team has worked tirelessly to create a live-action version. closest to the original. However, the recent viral news may break the hearts of most One Piece fans.
Divinity Seeker, a popular Twitter account that focuses on discussion and news about movies, has shared the first impressions of the preview of the highly-anticipated One Piece live-action series. According to the person, it seems that the first impressions of the film are a bit disappointing.
Divinity Seeker posted a tweet providing details on the current status of the live-action One Piece adaptation.
Divinity Seeker commented on the poor quality of the CGI effects used throughout the episodes. Moreover, it seems that the plot of the first episodes makes it difficult for non-One Piece fans to grasp the content. This may be because the script lacks tight alignment.
In a follow-up comment, Divinity Seeker provided more details on the contents of the first episode. According to the update, the first half of the episode is dedicated to Luffy’s flashback. The story then shifts to the present, briefly introducing Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp for the remaining 15 minutes of the episode.
In contrast to the manga and anime, the main cast introduction spans several episodes, with Luffy’s past being revealed later in the story. As such, fans of the series may be disappointed with the significant changes made in the live-action version, as it seems to deviate from the original plot.
Divinity Seeker also commented on how some actors’ makeup looked awkward and out of place. Even in episode 3 of the live-action, which talks about the plot in Baratie (Sanji’s introduction), the production team created an extension.
Divinity Seeker also expressed concern about the cast’s hair color, especially Nami’s orange, Zoro’s green and Sanji’s blonde, which look unnatural.
In the context of the anime, these hair colors are considered normal, but when brought to life, they became a challenge for the production team, to make these hair colors look as natural as possible.
The information that Divinity Seeker provides has not been fully confirmed, but regardless of its accuracy, it is undeniable that adapting the One Piece series to live-action format is a challenge. big.
The production team also plans to rewrite some episodes from scratch to give fans a sense of reassurance, but at the same time, this seems like a daunting task. Considering that the cast has already completed filming, it’s highly unlikely that the production team will be able to reshoot everything, especially given the substantial cost per episode of the live-action One Piece series.
