One Piece Season One
SCORE: 65
Noah and I recently finished watching the live action version of One
Piece Season One. Netflix has a horrible history with making live action
versions of anime television shows and movies. I expected One Piece
Season One to be horrible. I also need to be open and honest about
something. I am not into One Piece a whole lot. I have seen a bit of the
anime, and played some of the games. Noah has been reading the manga and
Peter has seen some of the anime. Both told me this show is generally
close to the source material. I do hope to watch the anime at some point
in the future.
There will be spoilers in this reviews. I did some research and
discovered there was some character race swapping. Holly Hate cannot
seem to contain themselves in their swapping away from white characters.
I questioned some of the casting as I saw the characters in One Piece
Season One. I know there are ongoing debates online about casting
choices and how they do not exactly fit the characters. I will leave it
there for you to make your own decision.
The eight episodes of One Piece Season One range from forty-nine minutes
to one hour and four minutes. One Piece Season One is all about pirates
that want to live free from the government and its system of ruling. The
marines are sort of the police in this water world. Most of the time the
marines are shown to be pretty dumb in One Piece Season One. Koby is a
young man that aspires to be a marine and can thanks to Monkey D. Luffy
freeing him from a pirate.
The issues families will have with One Piece Season One are violence,
blood, gore, bad language, nudity, tobacco, smoking, and more. Gold
Rogers is killed by the government in the beginning of One Piece Season
One. He tells the people with his last words that he hid his treasure in
a certain area. Luffy decides he will find the One Piece and become king
of the pirates. He has powers thanks to a devil fruit.
Luffy's grandfather Monkey D. Garp is a Vice Admiral in the Marines.
They have some conflict in One Piece Season One. Eventually Garp lets
Luffy chase his own path. He also puts a massive bounty on him which
makes Luffy extremely happy. He has arrived as a pirate. Luffy does not
act like a normal pirate. He saves and frees people instead of killing,
and plundering.
I actually enjoyed One Piece Season One way more than I thought I would.
This live action version has me interested in checking out the anime at
some future date. Luffy seems a bit clueless in One Piece Season One. He
seems to have his own moral code that is different than a great many
other people. We also learn about these pirate warlords in One Piece
Season One. They are extremely powerful.
