Netflix Launching One Piece Live-Action Adaptation Series
Netflix is looking in a hurry to become the Disney of manga and anime, and this could be concluded by looking into the aggressiveness of the streaming giant to remake the series of classics into live-action form. One Piece is an enormous Japanese anime and manga and colossally popular too.
hueisha, in partnership with Netflix, is working hard to develop this most popular Japanese anime into a live-action that is going to be streamed on Netflix. It is noteworthy that Japanese anime One Piece has broken the publishing records and became the most selling manga with more than 462 million copies in almost forty-three countries. The popularity of this Japanese anime can be estimated with the fact that the official website of One Piece announced it to be included in the “Guinness World Record” for becoming the manga with most published copies.
This incredible Japanese anime and manga have received a lot of praise for the art, humor, and characterization along with storytelling. The story of One Piece revolves around the adventures of a young man named Monkey D. Luffy. Luffy has eaten a devil fruit unknowingly, which had led his body to develop rubbery properties. Luffy had been very much inspired by a mighty pirate “Red-Haired” Shanks, who is his childhood idol. Further, Luffy rescued and befriended with a swordsman Roronoa Zoro and then organized a crew of Straw Hat Pirates. Luffy had heard about the treasures of One Piece, which is a distant place and wants to become the king of the Pirates.
The fans can get glimpses of a vast world in One Piece, which is not only full of the human population but also some other races. The fans can see One Piece covered by two vast oceans and filled with several races of humans, which include hybrids of humans and fish just similar to mermaids and mermen, giants, dwarves, and minks which are a race of humanoid animals. The Japanese anime if full of adventures which are taken by Luffy and his crew of pirates while encountering secret agents, organizations of criminals, soldiers who are fighting to protect the interests of the World Government, revolutionaries, and many other foes in sailing the sea in the pursuit of their dreams.
Now, the fans have many doubts, and they are suspicious whether the streaming giant, Netflix, will be successful in his plan to repeating the popularity of One Piece as it has got in the form of anime also in the way of live-action adaptation. The streaming giant has already produced the other two Japanese anime and presented them into live-action earlier. The experience of fans is very dismal, and they are afraid that Netflix may repeat its history. The live adaptation of Cowboy Bebop by Netflix, which was a popular anime and manga, was frankly terrible and could be said that it was a complete Whitewash.
The live-action adaptation of another popular anime and manga, Death Note By Netflix, was even the worst ones, and this has wholly disappointed the fans. Now, When Netflix has announced about the live-action adaptation of One Piece, which will be streamed in ten episodes, the fans are not so excited and expecting that the streaming giant could do justice with One Piece. However, nothing is much known about the star cast, and the fans have to wait a little longer to get the complete information.
