One Piece then.
finally we have official traile , two words about the specific project.
▪️In 2017 the series was announced with preproducrion starting.
▪️Dear Oda is an executive producer with a big role in casting the main actors and overseeing/correcting the script.
▪️Filming was completed last year in South Africa, entire sets/villages and full size ships were built. (fan fact on the same premises where Black Sails was filmed)
▪️We have so far a list of about 30 actors participating and more will be announced with the names of the Dragon, Roger and Smoker actors still being kept secret.
▪️The 10 (or 8) episodes of the first season will take us to the end of East Blue, i.e. to the entrance to the Grand Line (chapter 100).
▪️According to showrunner Matt Owens, the series will follow the manga as much as possible and their purpose is to reach Oda's story to a world that does not prefer anime/manga.
▪️We don't know the budget as Netflix rarely announces it. But from combinations of factors and producers it becomes clear that this is one of the biggest investments of the company comparable and
My opinion after years of following the developments is that something worthwhile is coming that has so far avoided the mistakes made by similar projects in the past!
What i am expecting? To be truthful almost not a single anime that adapted into a live action movie was good ! With few exceptions! One piece requires special CGI to be a good watch i hope that they can do it ! But i i have low expectations because of previous adaptations and because i love one piece and dont want to be disappointed!
But i am really excited to watch it !
