Right here’s the trailer for the live-action One Piece we’ve been looking forward to

Netflix has a combined monitor document with regards to adapting liked Jap anime sequence into reside motion codecs. I favored 2021’s Cowboy Bebop greater than maximum diehard enthusiasts—only for the pitch-perfect casting by myself, although the battle choreography left so much to be desired. It used to be indubitably higher than the live-action variations of Fullmetal Alchemist (some other of my non-public anime faves), however Netflix opted to not renew Cowboy Bebop. So we will by no means know if it could have labored out its problems, even if the cameo look tacked onto the finale of a specifically grating model of Radical Ed did not bode neatly.

For the reason that checkered historical past, one may well be forgiven for emotions of trepidation concerning the streaming platform’s impending live-action sequence adaptation of One Piece, a massively widespread manga and anime sequence created by means of Eiichiro Oda. Who does not love pirates? The primary trailer debuted at San Diego Comedian-Con, and in truth, the live-action sequence seems nice. Alternatively, so did the trailers for Cowboy Bebop.

The unique One Piece manga debuted in 1997, following the adventures of 1 Monkey D. Luffy, who heads a motley workforce known as the Straw Hat Pirates. There may be swordsman Roronoa Zoro, thief and navigator Nami, sniper and compulsive liar Usopp, and a prepare dinner named Sanji. They are on the lookout for the mythical One Piece, a legendary treasure that will make any person who possesses it King of the Pirates. Monkey desires to be the Pirate King, however so do a bunch of alternative pirates with their very own ships and crews.

Oda used to be impressed by means of his formative years love of pirates, particularly the biographies of Edward “Blackbeard” Educate. (One Piece includes a personality named Marshall D. Educate in Blackbeard’s honor.) The manga used to be handiest meant to run for 5 years and continues to be working, even if Oda has mentioned the sequence is coming into its ultimate saga. The anime TV sequence premiered in 1999 and was an international hit; it used to be the maximum watched TV display of 2022, actually, beating out Stranger Issues.

Judging by means of this trailer, Netflix is sticking beautiful just about the unique idea, with the primary season following Monkey as he recruits the preliminary individuals of the Straw Hat Pirates. According to the reliable premise:

Monkey D. Luffy is a tender adventurer who has longed for a lifetime of freedom since he can take into accout. Luffy units off from his small village on a deadly adventure to seek out the mythical fabled treasure, One Piece, to transform King of the Pirates! However with a purpose to to find without equal prize, Luffy will want to bring together the workforce he’s all the time sought after prior to discovering a boat to sail, looking each and every inch of the huge blue seas, outpacing the Marines, and outwitting bad opponents at each and every flip.

Inaki Godoy stars as Monkey, who has rubber-like talents due to by accident drinking a Satan Fruit. Mackenyu performs Zoro, Emily Rudd performs Nami, Taz Skylar performs Sanji, and Jacob Romero Gibson performs Usopp, son of an notorious pirate father named Yasopp. Peter Gadiot performs Shanks, captain of the Crimson-Haired Pirates; Ilia Isorelys Paulino performs the ruthless chief of the Alvida Pirates; and Jeff Ward performs Buggy, clown-garbed captain of the Buggy Pirates who additionally by accident ate a Satan Fruit. In his case, it gave him the facility to separate his frame into items. (It is a spotlight of the trailer.) As well as, Langley Kirkwood performs Captain Morgan and Aidan Scott performs his son Helmeppo.

One Piece drops on Netflix on August 31, 2023.
