As a school of adaptation, the live-action take on anime and manga is only slightly less cursed than the live-action series or film based on a video game. Yet remarkably, 2023 is set to be a banner…
“Cowboy Bebop.” With its deep pockets and worldwide reach, Netflix is ideally positioned to reposition a cultural export like “One Piece” for a new and far-flung audience — but from firsthand experience, it’s aware of how intensely possessive fans,and the ineffable qualities of animation can make for a challenging ordeal. At least “The Last of Us” now offers a best-case scenario to look toward.
“One Piece” is a nautical fantasy that pits pirate crews on the hunt for a mythical treasure against marines who work to preserve law and order. Teenager Monkey D. Luffy dreams of becoming King of the Pirates, and over the course of the season, he secures a ship and assembles a crew with dreams of their own.
Pilot director Marc Jobst, production designer Richard Bridgland, costume designer Diana Cilliers and legions of crew members make this visual chaos a deliberately discordant symphony of CGI and practical effects. Hand-to-hand combat scenes are impressively choreographed, while a prologue in which former Pirate King Gold Roger sends a massive crowd awaiting his execution into a treasure-hungry frenzy conveys the story’s epic scale.
