I am surprised other commenters are down on the show. I loved it. I think this is the way you do a live action adaptation correctly. It kept the spirit of the original, embraced it's camp instead of trying to be realistic, and the cast was all pretty fun. It didn't hit the Manga exactly but it did what it needed to do to work in live action, and I honestly like it better in some places. (I also like the manga better in other places, haven't watched the anime yet. Waaaaay too long.). Watching this show was what encouraged me to get started on the manga, though.

I'm with you on this. I felt its the best live action out there and by a huge margin.
I'm still scarred from the Death Note adaptation...
Just keep anime animated; making humans act like that is just cringe.
I loved cowboy bebop.
So one piece fans... How far is that actually?
Edit: vol. 17
Drum island ends with Season 3 out of 21 (so far) | so episode 92 | arc 5 of saga 2, still very early in the show. Curious to see what Chopper looks like in live action.
Curious to see what all the choppers look like
I'm very nervous about Chopper.
Now I got sonic PTSD flashbacks...
My dad recently told me he watched and enjoyed that "One Piece" show I like. He meant this.
I died a little inside that day... Wait, no, I died a lot.
