Was glad last weekend to see a few of us get talking last weekend in the One Piece thread. Lemmy is way too dead when it comes to anime and manga talk. So let's see what we need to be talking about.

What have you been watching, what is it, and why do you think it's worth watching?

Not quite anime, but I've been watching the one piece live action. Context for the review: I'm up to date on both the manga and the anime. The live action is actually really good. It might even be as good as the anime. It's a bit more realistic and darker, because of more actual deaths happening on screen, but it still has the one piece vibe imo.

The no power fight scenes (zoro, early story nami, etc.) actually look better. But I will concede that the powers and fishmen look worse.

Buggy has had his personality fused with Joker and it's working out surprisingly well. He's become more psychopathic.

I keep hearing so much good stuff about this. I watched the trailer and it looked better than I would have thought, except like you said, the powers look a bit odd.

Read a NYT interview with Oda rm the other day and it seems like he had a lot of say in it. I'm sure that makes a big difference. I'll have to check it out, but I'm already reading the manga and watching the anime, so I don't want to just One Piece 24/7!

It's 8 episodes (1 hour each). Looks like it ends at the end of arlong park. If you want to pace yourself, I recommend one episode a day or week. They don't really end on cliffhangers, especially if you already know the story.

Ooo one hour blocks is good. We like to watch something more special during Sunday breakfast so that might be a good way to break it up.
