So I just finished watching the second season for a second time, and I have to talk about it with someone.
First off, holy shit is it good. No complaints, no notes. Visually, it's gorgeous. Casting is perfection, costumes, visuals, practical effects, set designs, it is as close to the manga and anime in visual style without being "cartoony." If I said that the special effects were the weakest link in the chain, that's only because everything else is so great.
Acting, writing, editing, direction, all of it shows a dedication to the source material and a care for making the best possible show. The choices for what to cut (because obviously it needs to be condensed) make sense at every turn, keeping fresh a story we all already know.
When I think of all the live action adaptations that completely failed, I'm thrilled that we have two seasons of One Piece as a model for how to do it right. I hope we get 12 more.
