The legendary king of the pirates, Gold Roger, bequeathed to those gathered at his execution, with his last word, to set out to search for the treasure he was hiding. It doesn’t leave any clues, but there’s still unequivocal consensus on this point: if the treasure nicknamed “One Piece” (because it’s thought to be buried in one place) is hidden where it is, then obviously the Grand Line region – the ocean current that divides the planet into two hemispheres (the Red Line mainland). strip runs perpendicular to it, so that the ball is divided into four oceans: east, west, north and south).
Few people were able to conquer the Grand Line. But difficulties never really bothered Monkey D. Luffy. (Inaki Godoy) is a lively child who ate a fruit called the devil fruit in his childhood and as a result gained the ability to stretch and compress his body as if it were rubber. Owning a stylish straw hat and having absolute confidence that he will find One Piece and become the new king of the pirates, Luffy emerges as the captain of the same strange but talented vagrants as himself. Gradually, swordsman Roronoa Zoro joins his team. (Arata McKenyu), thief Nami (Emily Rudd from the trilogy “Street of Fear”)fast-eyed talking Usopp (Jacob Romero Gibson) and cook Sanji (Thesis Skylar).
The previous paragraphs should be several times longer if you’re good, but as any self-respecting retirement age hacker will admit, it’s important to know when it’s time to stop. You can go on “One Piece” almost indefinitely, but you can’t spoon out the sea: Eiichiro Oda’s “One Piece” manga and anime. Big Jackpot” has been released since the late ’90s, with over 100 volumes and 1000 episodes so far (20 minutes, but still), so the local universe has managed to get a completely hopeless amount of plot and information. so recommending that someone else ambivalently dispose of so much of their time is a bit embarrassing at this stage, to be honest, that’s where Netflix comes to the rescue: regular characters always hang around.
The streaming service has long pursued its own with game adaptations of cult anime: the full-length Death Note was released in 2017 (the original anime was banned in Russia) and the Cowboy Bebop series in 2022. What distinguishes these projects from Japanese animated films is a (questionable) attempt to move original works from Japanese soil to international works. Both times this attempt failed: “Death Note” is still remembered, but among the platform’s biggest shames, it seems that they chose not to remember “Cowboy Bebop” on the contrary.
So it’s even more surprising that the god of anime Netflix’s game adaptations (i.e., whatever this particular neural network is called) apparently loves the trio: the “One Piece” series. Jackpot” suddenly hit the jackpot and hit the jackpot – breaking the record for “Wednesday” and the record for the fourth season of “Very Stranger Things” to top the Netflix rating in 84 countries. At the same time, even staunch fans of Eiichiro Oda’s manga are praising him. And The issue here is clearly not a pirate code of honor: One Piece is a really good series that fits pretty organically into the slot for the last big adventure of summer 2023.
“One Piece” takes an exaggeratedly childish, Peterish take on piracy, family, friendship, and dreams. And it’s hard not to succumb to the tenderness of this look. The chaotic energy of the series unexpectedly rhymes with the crazy gameplay on Soviet Treasure Island, and the enchanting accessories and carnivalism sometimes give the illusion that the new One Piece is a contemporary of the old one and is definitely back in the 2000s. KH channel is somewhere near Xena – Warrior Queen.
showrunner Matt Owens (“Luke Cage”, “Agents of SHIELD”) and Stephen Maeda (Pan American, Lost, Lie to Me) have managed to walk a thin strip of land without falling into any of the raging oceans. “One Piece” was made with a noticeable respect for the original (even the cartoonish flexibility and intonation of the characters were borrowed from there), while this old-timey trickery does not cause misunderstanding and rejection among those who have never understood the series. I swam in local latitudes. So the Netflix project serves as both a great addition to the series and an ideal entry point into its wider world. And the series will light up the standby mode for anyone who misses the wayward Pirates of the Caribbean series (remember last year’s cartoon here too) “Sea monster”). In a word, it’s all right: It’s unlikely that we’ll come across One Piece on every second list of the year’s best in a few months, but it looks great as an afterword to summer vacation.
