Without further ado, let’s take a look at Japanese fans’ comments on the One Piece live action trailer:

One Piece live action should not harm the image of the work in Japan

”I had so many worries about the adaptation, but after watching it, I can’t wait to see it!”

”I like how they balance loyalty to the source material and create a natural, down-to-earth atmosphere.”

”I really like how it looks, in terms of being a live-action anime, it’s like the world of One Piece exists in our reality.”

”They don’t go overboard with the setting or characterizations, but they have a firm sense of what makes them special. It’s a good balance for a fantasy story.”

”When you adapt anime into live-action, it’s always going to look at least a little bit like cosplay, but I think they did an amazing job making it look polished, so I’m looking forward to watching that.”

”At first, I thought Luffy looked like a totally different character, but watching this trailer, he won me over.”

”I totally like how it doesn’t feel like a shonen manga, but a pirate series for adults.”

”I’ve seen many live-action anime adaptations, but this is the first time a trailer has made me so excited to watch one.”

Considering the amount of positive comments, One Piece’s live action probably won’t harm the work’s image, at least in its homeland. Netflix’s One Piece premieres on August 31. Are you excited?
