Hah. Like Netflix is ever going to approve a third season of anything ever again.
They have twenty to go, tops.
Yes. Netflix contracts are famous for having compensation bumps after the second season. Netflix tends to kill everything after the second season.
I mean, One Piece is kind of famous for it's breadth. I feel like they wouldn't greenlight it if they weren't prepared to follow through.
I don't trust capitalists and I don't trust Netflix. It is a safer bet they will cancel than continue this show after 3 seasons.
Capitalist brought you the source material this was derived from tho
Yup. Famously, no one ever created art until capitalism came around to turn it into a commodity.
It’s about $17 million dollars an episode and there are about 1059 episodes to adapt. If they keep pace it will only cost about 18 billion dollars to adapt the current anime series.
Well, it's not like an anime episode is the same as a live action episode though.
An anime episode is like 20 minutes of content after you remove the opening and recap and ending. And if you remove all the filler and repeating scenes, it's maybe 5-10 minutes of actual content. They adapted like 45-50 episodes into 8, and the first saga is probably one of the most dense in terms of content.
For the future, I fully expect a 10:1 ratio between anime episodes and live episodes. Maybe even more.
That would still mean more than 12 seasons to go, before catching up to now, with who knows how many more before the series ends.
And they're only allowed to age 2 years during shooting.
yeah that's a very big concern only after showing big mom and other wacky characters and literally every fight after post marineford arc
Being allowed to age 2 years in 12 years (that's how long others are estimating to complete the story while cutting out most of the filler like they've apparently done so far) is a LUXURY in Hollywood 😛
More like 500 if we skip the filler and keep good pace unlike the anime which is and has been complete bullshit for close to a decade now.
More like 200 if with fillers you cut on all the bullshit episodes made it to take time, the flashbacks and side-bosses not relevant for the whole story. (I don't believe anyway in more that 50)
Sure, 1000 anime bullshit intact, 500 manga tight, 200 story tight, 50 abridged
Most actors would kill for job that stable.

Based on my research, the first season of the Netflix live action show (8 episodes) covers the first 61 anime episodes. At this rate, the live action show could still continue for 17 more seasons.
In all seriousness, the more I think about it, the more perfect this anime was for adaptation. There's a ton of filler in the anime, but otherwise good story beats and character development. When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.
I watched all of the live action show this weekend, and really enjoyed it. I figured the anime tone and goofiness that they clearly baked right into it would work against it like all the other live action anime adaptations, but it feels like it's a lot less of a quick cash grab than the others. Some real love and attention went into it and it's a lot of fun.
When you condense that down, you get all the good and leave out the cruft.
Let's hope they'll keep Little Buggy's Great Adventure. That filler was hilarious.
Buggy got his body back already so I don't think we'll be getting that :(
While I'm a bit disappointed, they didn't take away his limbs for longer, seeing little Buggy in live action was hilarious.
I know nothing about the anime but I LOVED the show. So heartwarming and funny but also very dark sometimes! I would watch 17 seasons
I wonder if they used the East Blue Episode that was released in like 2017 that condenses those 61 Episodes to a single one that is about 1:30h long and has the exact same ending.
I can already see the cost cutting theyll do. Aokiji green screened onto a static image of the sea and say its frozen
Itll be cancelled like cowboy beebop
Nah it's actually decent.
Then again I didn't get the cowboy bebop hate either. It was okay? Like not OMFG THIS IS THE GREATEST SHOW OF ALL TIME, but it wasn't as shit as people claim it was. I fairly enjoyed the show, even after rewatching the anime right before.
One Piece actually captures the flow and the mood of the anime. It is over the top, like the anime, but realistically toned down so it doesn't seem like it's trying too hard. The pace is good and the changes to the story seem coherent to adapting as an live action and for people who have heard of One Piece but never really got into it. The dialogues aren't literate master pieces but they really do not need to be. The special effects sometimes look a bit weird but they didn't bother me too much.
Cowboy bebop's live action was absolute crap and I'm glad it was cancelled.
I liked wboy beebop. It w s campy... but it was supposed to be. Think people expected bsg feel of dark and serious.
For anyone that wants to switch over to the anime now, I suggest: https://onepace.net/
It's a fan edit where they strip the filler, and try to make it more like the manga.
Fans of the OPLA getting into the anime realizing they have 1000+ episodes to watch to catch up (this will take years)
If I don’t sleep it’ll only take me 18.3 days.
Nah, I've stopped a number of times this year and I'm already nearing episode 800! I could probably do it all in like 2 months lol
On an unrelated note, I have no life.
They really thought adopting this show to live action was a good idea?
(I'm referring to the amount of episodes that meme is referring to. Not the quality of the show).
I'm enjoying it. It's not perfect but I do think it's good enough that it'll get people interested in the Manga or Anime!
casual fans seem to like it
It's surprisingly good.
The thing about the anime is that it's very, very, very slow. If you cut out all the useless scenes, filler episodes, reaction shots, etc, they would probably only have to adapt around 300-400 episodes, which, while still a lot, is much more feasable.
Just finished the first season this weekend and honestly loved the concept. Not the best acting for the extras but it was interesting to see the live iterations of many characters. I would love to see a second season.
jk Netflix will cancel it in one (1) year
