when you act like a faggot, i call you a faggot. when i asked a question, i wasnt calling you a faggot, when you attacked me for no reason. then you solidified your faggot moniker. faggot.

You seem to contradict yourself a lot. You want opinions on the show but not certain people's. Makes no fucking sense. Then you just hijack the thread to make it about yourself.

To answer your question, I had never watched the anime stuff as anime is gay, but the live action series was easy to follow. I had no outstanding questions.

Honestly, no. I have sporadically read some of the manga, and sporadically watched some episodes (while my wife was in her obsessive phase over it) and I could have followed the show without even that. Things you need to be ready for :
- It's unapolegetic about being based on an Anime, including the dialoge style and melodramatic overacting at points, but that's part of what makes this what it is.
- If you ever do go back and watch the anime (which is YEARS worth), or read the Manga (which is close to DECADES worth) you might get a little confused because they're shuffling around some of the timeline in terms of when certain characters show up and things happen. (I figure this is because they realize they're never going to get to go as long as the animated series did so are working to get the high notes in.)
- On the other hand many of the scenes you can tell they went to great length to make sure were direct love letters to the manga/anime. (if you had read/watched it)
- Despite the contradictory nature of being able to swim.... Fish people are the American inventors of the One Piece world, and they are also unapologetic about that as well.... (to the point I'm kinda surprised they're not on a fast train to cancel-ville for it...)
- And comparatively, IMHO, this has been more enjoyable than ANYTHING Disney has put out in terms of Star Wars or MCU on the small screen.

Thank you, Mr Haus. i dont have time to watch the show tonight, but i got tomorrow after i get back from a flea market. one last question, any hot chicks in it? do they get naked?
- 11,107

No nudity, and this early in the anime/manga there weren't a ton of hot chicks outside Nami (already shown in this thread). IMHO, Hot chick crewmate will happen when they pick up the character named Nico Robin.
Although even with no nudity, there's enough death, and even enough blood that this is NOT a "4 kids" show....

Just finished this up and found it really enjoyable. Good easy going fun show. I never read or watched One Piece so I had zero expectations. I just assumed it would bomb like Cowboy Bebop. But this show delivered. They sure found a recipe for success on how to make a live action anime show and not a show based on an anime. Glad to see it got renewed quickly for a season 2. If there wasnt over a thousand episodes, Id be interested in watching the anime.

Yeah, if you can imagine. The 8 episodes you just watched spanned around the first 90 episodes of the anime, IIRC. They left some things out obviously, but one thing you learn about anime is the dreaded "filler arc" heh. And they just lopped all that bullshit right on out.

Yeah, but I figure that can be first part of next season... Netflix really doesn't seem to like committing to more than 8 or so episodes in a season of anything. I am wondering if they had any inkling of how well it would be received if they would have chosen differently on 2 more episodes....
