The first reactions for Netflix’s long-awaited live-action series adaptation have started to roll in A piece, and so far the people who have had the opportunity to watch it love it! It’s nice to see because most live-action anime projects get completely beat up, but I always thought this felt like a good time and captured the spirit of the anime.
Well, now the fans and critics who have had a chance to watch the show confirm it! It is said to do justice to the “source material”, others say it is “faithful”, “Excellent”, “Fresh”, “Funny” and “so close to anime”. These are all things I love to hear!
Check out some of the reactions below:
I watched Netflix’s One Piece and can confirm that it does justice to the source material and more. I think anime fans and newcomers to the Grand Line will be amazed at what the show has to offer.
This is NOT Cowboy Bebop, I can’t stress that enough.

Having watched all 8 episodes of Netflix’s upcoming “ONE PIECE” and having minimal exposure to the original materials, I can say that this is THE show that fans of live action manga and/or anime adaptations have been craving for. This is the real deal.

As someone who has become much more familiar with anime over the past year, I have to say I was pleasantly surprised to see the series brought to life with so much love. The scope of this show is VAST and so much dedication has gone into nearly every aspect of it. #A piece pic.twitter.com/YglVlsEZIp
