Oda is involved so I'm hoping it turns out well, but I just can't see it translating well to live action, I'll love it no matter what though.
Nobody seems to have watched it except me
it's a bit of a slow burn and some might not like the art style, but it's a quality mystery/fantasy/adventure story. Feels quite old fashioned in some ways, which in turn makes it feel quite uniqueThe world of One Piece is so fundamentally over-the-top, extravagant and cheesy (in a good way, obviously) that I don't think any live action adaptation could do justice to it — regardless of the principal elements of the show, the overall budget, or choice of actors, screen-writers and directors. It's just a different kettle of fish to relatively realistic ones like Cowboy Bebop or Death Note (which were absolutely butchered by the creators). This Netflix thing looks like an opportunistic cash-grab, I'm afraid.
Also, the co-executive producer and co-showrunner, Steven Maeda, seems a bit eccentric — and would do well to keep his political interpretations to himself. If he wants to make some sort of allegorical commentary, maybe he should lean on the existing lore (instead of ham-fisting things from real life that aren't relevant to One Piece (an escapist fantasy, first and foremost)).
I think you are taking his joke too seriously, that post is really not "eccentric"The world of One Piece is so fundamentally over-the-top, extravagant and cheesy (in a good way, obviously) that I don't think any live action adaptation could do justice to it — regardless of the principal elements of the show, the overall budget, or choice of actors, screen-writers and directors.

I'm disappointed that Tomodachi Game looks to only have 12 episodes, felt like it was building into something.
Solo levelling is a pretty decent manhwa that's now getting an anime adaptation.
Clearly, I enjoy it as this quote from 2020 suggests.
Now just need an anime adaptation of Unordinary, Purple Hyacinth, and I Love Yoo.

As @syrian_scholes said it's much better.
But it's a different type of anime, if you're into boxing you will love it even more. I think even non boxing fans would really enjoy it too.
Red-Haired Shanks and Flame Emperor Sabo, at long last!
I accidentally started watching it at some time ago despite not being super into the genre. At the beginning it was more a distraction, that was running the the background or filled time, but it has a way to pull you in. The longer it goes the better it gets. I am a long way off from the new releases, I a know for sure that I will catch up. The way it constructs the long-term narrative is absolutely spectacular. Effortlessly the creator managed to combine smaller stories into arcs and these arcs into the story of a world. Its brilliant and I start to understand what you mean when you wrote this post. I am very glad, that this seems to continue for at least another 500ish or so episodes.
Short question: While I followed the series, I didn't bother with anything else (e.g. movies; ). Without any content spoilers, is it worth watching them?
I'm sorry but I can't help you, mate; haven't seen the myriad One Piece movies as they're not strictly canon.
Though for where you are in the anime (500 episodes = Sabaody Archipelago arc), these movies should be “safe” to watch...

thanks. I don't think I am going to bother for now considering that there is a gigantic mountain of episodes left. I also already skipped all the episodes with alternative settings. I thought that they might get reverenced at one point in the series, but that doesn't really seem to be the case.I'm sorry but I can't help you, mate; haven't seen the myriad One Piece movies as they're not strictly canon.

Miles Morales was so much fun.
On the other hand I gave The Surge a go and that was incredibly disappointing. Felt like a cheap knock off rather than a good addition to the genre. The combat is actually good but the game is poorly designed and put together.

Sir, this is the anime thread.
Whoopsies!
Can't believe it, they're making an anime series of one of the top three manghwa's I've experienced.
It really sucks I watch 3 of the best anime shows (Death Note, FMA, AOT) out there and now everything after them isn't nearly as good. I've been burning through a good few on Netflix but the stories don't grab me. Black lagoon was pretty good though. Assassination classroom was fun aswel. I miss Highschool of the dead, that was amazing. Maybe some proper 18s rated bloody anime would be good but I can't find any.
Spongebob is an anime.
Anyone watch Spy X Family or the new Gundam series?
Thoughts?
Last thing I watched was season 2 of Demon Slayer and Weathering With You so it's been a while. These are the two I'm considering.

Watch Cyberpunk: Edgerunners, it's a short anime (10 episodes) and it has been considered one of the best animes of the year. Personally it's the best anime I've watched in quite a while and it's nothing short of brilliant.
Finished it last week . Brilliant show
The best thing about the Cyberpunk anime is that it has little of the embarrassing shit that stops you from recommending anime to friends.
I read something about someone being against the inclusion of the character Rebecca. Apparently they thought she didn't fit in the Cyberpunk franchise but the studio in charge of the anime were very firm about her inclusion.
Maybe they thought a loli girl wouldn't go with the theme of the anime and the world but I really liked her character an her role in the anime so I'm really glad they didn't remove her. Overall I liked everything and is one of those animes I would recommend to people in general and not just anime fans.
Fair enough. Was hoping Gundam would be a throwback. Guess not.
Thanks for the info!
Thanks for the info!
So, One Piece Film - Red.....
Whoever it was who wanted her removed clearly lacks any understanding of the world of cyberpunk.
Will they ever make one punch man season 3?
Yeah, was announced in August.
Yeah, it's one of those anime that has crossover appeal. Really well made accross the board with beautiful visuals, great soundtrack and works well also in the dub (I'm a big fan of japanese voice acting).
And I cannot help but laughing at the thought of the Studio Trigger guys insisting on Rebecca being included. They're such otaku's those guys. I can already hear them: "no loli, no show"
Anyone watching the Bleach Anime reboot?
I haven't yet but I plan to, have you? If so how are you finding it so far?
Bleach has always been and forever will be shit, imo.
It's fine. A bit darker toned as expected and a bit fast paced. Will watch it anyway just because I remember a few of the main fights being pretty cool.
Doesn't matter.
I hardly watch any anime anymore, but that's basically why I'm going to watch this to see those fights adapted, and the nostalgia factor.
Even though there was a lot to criticise Bleach for after its early run, I always loved the art work and the visuals I've seen look great.
Yeah. Nostalgia for me as well as I was well into it when it first aired. Visuals in the current one look pretty cool.
