Ever since the trailer arrived, I knew this Netflix One Piece series had done something amazing.
I saw it on August 31 - September 1, 2023 all over night till daybreak in one sitting. It was truly worth it.
The cast was Soo perfect in their roles especially Mihawk felt like he came straight out of the anime with the exact same English voice, Mackenyu was so cool and badass as Zoro, and Emily is so pretty and hot as Nami! Buggy was Soo funny, crazy and perfect as well! Inaki brought a lot of heart as Luffy. The locations and setpieces were very fun, vibrant and accurate. The action was amazing! The dialogue was beautiful and badass especially for Zoro!

The story is modified to fit the series structure with some events happening drastically earlier or differently probably to inject some more drama or "important stuff" earlier in the story, which honestly didn't sit right with me, but I can let it go since everything else was so well done. I started One Piece on June 15, 2021 but regardless I became a big fan of One Piece, it may even have been better than Naruto at times which changed my life, and truly enjoyed how they brought the characters to life.
And soon as I finished the series, I knew Season 2 was all but confirmed. Because it was it was just that good and had great confidence in itself and it's crew. 3:37am
