Anyone else watch the One Piece live action series on Netflix? It's such a fun show.

watched the first season and will watch the second shortly. Have been watching the anime with my son from the start though - we are now partway through the Fishman Island arc so about episode 540 or so!

My (13 year old) son Zach was watching the animated version and tried to get us into the live-action.  I tried to watch it but just couldn't develop an appreciation for it.

We unfortunately had to put the kebash on his one-piece watching because it was affecting his behaviour in ways we did not like.

Sorry to hear that, Ken.

I think they did such a good job on the second season. I came into it with no knowledge of the manga or anime. Another family we know has been going through the anime like you, @DarthPenguin. Maybe we'll give it a look at some point.

Yeah i have enjoyed the anime tbh. One thing i like about it is they haven't made Luffy more "heroic" than in the manga - they did that with Goku in Dragonball (in the Anime he is trying to be a hero often and save people in the manga he just likes to fight and saving people is a nice consequence). Luffy helps people but it is because he wants to or likes them, rather than going about trying to overtly save the world (where i am in the story anyway).

Am looking forward to watching live action season 2 though
