Just wondering what people who have watched Netflix’s new One Piece series think.

They don’t have the greatest track record with anime adaptions so I’m afraid to watch it. I thought Cowboy Bebop was alright. Although they kind of butchered Vicious and Julia, imo, the people who played Spike and Jet did well enough that it was able to sustain my interest for awhile but not long enough to finish it. Death Note was barely like the original at all. The only good thing I can say was Lakeith Stanfield’s L portrayal and Willem Dafoe’s Ryuk.

But this series seems to be trending, so maybe they’ve finally done it?

    12-season plan, wow. I was thinking it would take them about 8 seasons to get to current if they merge some of the smaller arcs (e.g. Skypiea and Thriller Bark) into adjacent sagas. Makes me wonder if the 12-season plan includes the final (as of yet unseen) saga. If not, they must really be planning on giving each saga a full retelling with its own season. Hope they get to complete the series!

        Why do people blame Netflix for the quality of a show? It’s usually the showrunners that tank the shows, not some monolithic faceless “Netflix”.
