‘One Piece’ Producers Say Scripts for a Season 2 Are ‘Ready,’ Episodes Could Air 12-18 Months After Strikes End
On the heels of its splashy debut, the producers behind Netflix’s “One Piece” say scripts for a possible Season 2 are completed and that the next season could be “ready to a…
As a one piece fan, I was so prepared to be disappointed.
I am actually blown away. I made my kids into One Piece fans.
The story follows the comic. I'm thrilled about season 2.
41It would seem they finally got a live action adaptation right. Given Oda's involvement, maybe that had something to do with it. The spirit of his work was definitely captured. And they covered a whole lot of ground in just 8 episodes.
Makes me wonder how many seasons we're going to get and how they might break it up. I'm hoping for something like this:
S2: Loguetown Arc, Arabasta Saga
S3: Sky Island Saga, Water 7 Saga
S4: Thriller Bark Saga, Summit War Saga
S5: Fish-Man Island Saga, Dressrosa Saga
S6: Whole Cake Island Saga
S7: Wano Country Saga
S8: ???
It's a pretty tight schedule and we're unlikely to get that far, but I'm just happy it sounds like we're getting a season two.
17I was blown away by it completely, I thought one piece of all the manga/anime out there EVER was probably the hardest to translate to real life, but they hit it out of the ball park.
12*out of the arlong park

I don’t know anything about one piece other than how insanely popular it is in Japan. I heard the live action show was pleasing fans so I gave it a go. It’s definitely for kids, but it reminds me so much of watching power rangers in the 90s that I can’t help but enjoy myself with every episode. Now I’m actually curious about the manga or anime.
7If you enjoy the live action you will probably enjoy the manga or anime. The one caveat to that is both versions One Piece suffer the same problem from filler, but in different ways. This problem is best illustrated by an anime about that problem:

but it works both ways for one piece, because it's been running long enough as both a manga and an anime.
TL;DR; It's great but there is filler in both.
I prefer the manga, but I feel like the manga is a little rough until it gets to Drum Island, which is a whooping 130 chapters in, but "only" 78 episodes in... it's one of those "its gets really good 100 hours in" deals.8I watch the anime for 15 years now and i think its very hard to start with it. A lot of things changed. I think the anime grew for itself when hitting 500/600 episodes. But they have grest character arcs and you feel with them. I miss this in a lot of series/animes.
Something that concerns me, the visual effects. It goes very crazy with devil fruits in the anime and i think the real live OnePiece will get big big problems after 2 seasons. Or they have to change a lot of things. They would hit an uncanny valley of human monsters if they adapt everything 😂

I was so relieved they managed to make live action gum-gum fruit powers look cool.

IMO, greenlighting a season 2 before season 1 even airs is not confidence boosting in the least.
4why
12Great question. It’s better than canceling before season 1 airs 😂

Sounds more like making the strike looks bad. "Hey look, we can't make your awesome show because of the strike".
9Isn't this how series production works normally? If they wait until it airs then production will be interrupted for too long and they can't / don't want to do it for logistical/contract reasons or whatever. Real decision whether to continue happens when greenlighting season 3, based on season 1 reception.
7Season 1 already aired
4Yeah fr, what are they talking about

But isn't the WGA also on strike? How is this possible?
1Maybe they were written before the strikes?
6That's not the impression I got, but it's definitely possible.

People actually liked season 1? I couldn't finish the first episode.
-5I'm with you. I had not seen the original so didn't know what I was getting into but that shit was goofy AF. I'm surprised this got approved. I guess there's a big enough fanbase for the original and I'm glad those fans got their show but I couldn't watch it.
2One Piece is my favorite show. I should be the target market for the live action version. But it's awful.

@alphacyberranger NGL, i didn't even know there was a strike until this post.
Netflix One Piece is the first western show I've seen in over a year that I actually like.
Maybe it's just me being a weeb but I feel like Hollywood's influence is greatly declining even in America. The last time there was a show that *everybody* I know watched was Stranger Things season 4 and that was more than a year ago now.
-6You haven’t heard of the writers strike until now? No wonder you think Stranger Things season 4 was the last big show you’ve been in a coma for a year.
5@CluckN weeeell, last big American show not last big show. But yeah, i don't really keep up with western pop culture outside of video games and so maybe I'm wrong there.
I guess now that i think of it there was also the one about jeffrey dahmer on Netflix? I think that was pretty popular but tbh i got kinda bored after the first episode and also i felt kinda guilty because i know the victims' families were all pissed as hell at Netflix.
