That it creates new fans is I think the best we can hope for. I think I'll like it but regardless of its quality there's no way a show on Netflix is allowed to survive long enough to do the whole story.

I'd be surprised if it gets to Enies Lobby.

What's the minimum ya'll hope the live action would be able to cover? I'd be happy with no further than Alabasta.

You cannot feel the pain of loss for something you never expected to exist.

This is a really expensive, really niche show on Netflix.

It may be a lovely experience, true to the spirit of the story, that ends up being a nice re-imagining of East Blue, ending with the original five crew members pledging their dreams on the barrel. That would be nice, and self contained, and the end of it. Even that much isn't certain, but if you're inclined to optimism it seems reasonable to hope for at this point.

Will it find a much wider/more mainstream audience, and enough critical support to light the dollar signs in the eyes of Netflix executives? I personally do not think that is reasonable to expect at this point. Miracles can happen, but you should not expect them.

This will simply be a one season show, telling a self contained bit of story. Appreciate it as just that.

Yeah that's where I'm at. I think it will be a fun show but I can't imagine it has a broad enough appeal to justify the enormous expense of producing it (and it's not getting any cheaper given that any renewal would quickly hit The Chopper Problem)

chopper could be solved by bringing in the henson company and him just being a muppet. then just cgi for monster point but your point stands I don't think they'll actually do that

Alabasta is about the furthest I'd see the live action get to as that would be a second season. Any further is pushing it.

Live action 4kids dub where they skip Laboon, Robin has a southern drawl, they adapt some of the filler arcs for some reason, and the series is cancelled on the ship falling from the sky cliffhanger.

i wouldnt be shocked if the strawhats are all forced to look pretty human and have their roles combined. like franky is the shipwright and the helmsman now, and he always keeps his hawaiian shirt appearance.

still really curious how theyll handle chopper. hes really early in the first part of the grand line so hes gonna be in season 2 if they add him...

I'd be curious to see what Season 3 would be because Skypeia doesn't seem substantial enough to carry a whole season, but you would also need at least one big adventure with Robin in the crew to make Enies Lobby hit.

They could reimagine him as being more obviously human as a result of his fruit and do fancy prosthetics, then have him wear more clothing as well. Maybe have a regular reindeer for occasional transformations.

If we're talking about the incredibly theoretical future seasons you're going to run into potentially sticky issues almost immediately in what to trim.

In East Blue, trimming Kuro and Krieg, greatly reducing their roles, make sense. They have no impact on the wider story. But how much time do you spend in season 2, a season that will presumably have to cover all of Alabasta, on Laboon? Or Little Garden? Those would be stories to drop for the sake of a solid season 2, but if your ambition is to keep going, those things are really important pieces of long term world building.

Alternately you split Alabasta between 2 and 3 and there's a very good chance your show will die on a cliffhanger.

maybe they up the episode count to 12 and then do alabasta then skypeia?

or maybe robin just joins them at the beginning of alabasta instead of being a villain

i think a 2 arc structure in 10-12 episodes could work across the board.

s2 albasta/skypeia
s3 up to enies lobby
s4 skip thriller bark, just do shaboady into the paramount war
s5 fishman island is a pitstop, same with punk hazard, right into dressrosa
s6 wci -> wano
s7 end of series

There's no way they could fit Wano AND Whole Cake into 1 season. Wano on it's own would be like 3 seasons.

Yeah I guess making Heavy Point his 'main' form would make things a lot easier since you could probably do it with an outfit.

Honestly, the least believable part of One Piece is that everything before the time skip happened in just a few months. Changing it to several years, if you have to, to explain actors aging seems fine.

Test screening are out, and everyone agrees that the final line, "1, 2, 3, Jango" changes everything and they love it after they walk out.

Skypeia is a perfect season. You start with Jaya and then have a fun adventure in the clouds. Plus, outside Chopper and Pierre, there's almost no weird creature budget you've got to figure out. It's all just normal humans wearing extremely cheap angel wings. Outside Luffy and Enel, I don't think you even have to spend that much on special effects.

Also it would probably be best if every season had varying episode lengths. East Blue is 8, Alabasta is 13, etc. Also release Thriller Bark around Halloween.
