I'm curious to know what fans of the anime/manga think of this. As an outsider to the franchise, this looks kinda awful. It seems really low-budget, even for Netflix these days. I worry that it'll suffer the same fate that Cowboy Bebop did.
I'm really worried. I want to love it, but Luffy's fighting style is so cartoonish; things like the kick in the trailer just don't look good in live action. The implied physics of the real world seem to make everything in the fights feel floaty and corny. You don't fix that by throwing money at CG, the entire fight sequence has to be built around it, it reminds me of this nerdist video.
Also a few of the bits like the Nami scene during Arlong Park came off as cheesy.
Hopeful, but this'll probably end up like the live movie of ATLA
