If there’s one thing that sets Japanese comics and animations apart, it’s their impossible imagination and devotion. Consciously use the elastic limits of the media where gravity and reality don’t necessarily matter. Adapting manga and anime to the real picture is a challenge that few manage to solve. Netflix risks remake after trying ‘Death Note’ or ‘Cowboy Bebop’ (to no avail) ‘A piece’ (Thursday 31st) is literally a flesh-and-blood displaced pirate adventure with a resilient hero.
This challenge is particularly important because of the brand’s degree of popularity. For over a quarter of a century, not only is it an endless collection of cartoon stories, but a complete entertainment franchise that has also produced anime, light novels, and video games in a variety of formats.. To date, he has sold over 100 of his six hundred manga volumes. 516 million copies anime series released by Telecinco in 2003 and K3 in 2006 (and recovered by SX3 this summer), thousand chapters final 2021. Fifteenth film installment, ‘One Piece Film: Red’ became the highest-grossing film in Japan in 2022In front of ‘Top Gun: Maverick’. Motion sickness figures.
What does it take for ‘One Piece’ to generate so much passion? It actually has everything. Mangaka inspired by the adventures of ‘Viking Vickie’ Eiichiro Room a created It’s also a great physical comedy, violent action, a parade of monsters and charismatic villains, and an emotional tribute to friendship that includes countless legendary locations.. The kind of universe his adolescent self would like to plunge into, the universe he continues to draw and write for today. “I have no idea how others will feel, so I consult my 15-year-old self to see if something is cool,” Oda said in an interview with VIZ.
Legacy of ‘Dragon Ball’
The title of the epic refers to the treasure that the former Pirate King Gold Roger left somewhere before he was executed. There are many who go to sea to seek, but few are as enthusiastic as the young man. Monkey D. Luffy turned into a rubber boy after eating one of the demonic fruits that grows in this world and can grant supernatural abilities. At the same time, when you come into contact with the sea, you sink. Bad job for a (subject) hacker.
In addition to quoting ‘Viking Vickie’, Oda also talks about his passion for work. Akira Toriyama In ‘Dragon Ball’, it is evident in the character structure of Luffy, first and foremost Goku’s spiritual cousin. we talk about Another highly positive, spontaneous hero who never stops making friends, or at least tries, and whose appetite for justice is matched only by his gluttony.. They may also be very similar in terms of their superpowers: when Luffy says “gomu gomu no” before launching one of his bizarre attacks, it’s inevitable to think of that legendary “kame hame ha” Toriyama imagined.
Maybe the last attempt
If Oda finally approved a live-action translation of his valuable creation after other proposals, it was partly due to the enthusiasm shown by some ‘series producers’. Steven Maeda (former writer and producer of ‘Lost’) and Matt Owens (author of ‘Agents of SHIELD’ and ‘Luke Cage’) describes themselves as “super fans”. He also had the opportunity, as an executive producer, to collaborate in-depth with the Tomorrow Studios team and even suggest additional footage if he couldn’t see anything clear: “After filming was over, the producers agreed to reshoot many scenes because I don’t think they lived up to expectations.”He explains it seamlessly in his press releases.
Some of Luffy’s lines didn’t look so good on paper, but they were once voiced energetically. Inaki GodoyYoung Mexican actor seen on ‘Who Killed Sara?’. As in the animated series, Godoy puts all his faith in the composition of the leader of the Straw Hat Gang we know, who has already embarked on a journey of discovery and is trying to find the perfect team. It already recruits several members in the first episode: swordsman roronoa zoro (Mackenyu) And traveler nami (Emily Rudd), was described by co-creator Matt Owens as “an older sister surrounded by a bunch of younger brothers.” Then they add: Accurate but fearsome shooter Usopp (Jacob Romero), who often tells stories to heal himself and others, and chief sanji (Taz Skylar), his dream is to find All Blue, the legendary ocean where fish from the North, South, East and West seas congregate in principle.
Will it succeed or fail?
Enemies with unique weapons and powers are always important as well as heroes: in the series we will meet Morgan Hand of the Ax (again) (Langley Kirkwood), the monster frigate captain of the Navy, to which he added the fearful cabin attendant Koby (Morgan Davies), important character in the epic; Clown Buggy (Jeff Ward), Dracule Mihawk, who was able to dismember and reassemble his body after eating another devil fruit (Steven Ward), pirate of impossible swordsmanship, one of the Seven Warlords of the Sea.
There are heroic and less heroic characters and storylines from endless seasons, but Time will tell whether long-time fans will accept this somewhat true vision of a jovial and unreal universe.. Or will this incarnation capture the imagination of viewers who haven’t read a page of the manga or enjoyed the anime for a minute? Mysteries as big as One Piece’s whereabouts.
