Netflix has dropped the trailer of its live-action series One Piece. The show has been of the most discussed projects of the OTT platform, considering it is a remake of the classic manga of the name same. While there is excitement, there is also skepticism over this American version, as there always is when it comes to remaking classics. Updates of the production began coming in slowly, with cast list and photos coming out.

The OTT platform dropped the trailer of One Piece on its social media platform. The trailer gave off a more serious-looking take on the manga. “My treasure is yours to find“, sets the theme of the video, before it starts showing off each character. It shows Iñaki Godoy playing the lead character of Monkey D. Luffy, Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Jacob Gibson as Usopp, Emily Rudd as Nami, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.

The journey of Monkey D. Luffy and his gang will have the same adventures and feel, but made with modern effects as they set off to find a treasure. We can see certain sequences of the manga mirrored in the show like Luffy handing over his hat to Nami or the fight sequence with Captain Mihawk.

Regarding the skepticism, the trailer was expected to help confused fans decide whether they are liking it or not, and here is the verdict.

Fans give their reaction to seeing the trailer of the live version of Netflix’s One Piece

Adaptation of any book, game, or manga is a big task, especially if one wants to win over the existing fan base. Netflix’s One Piece has yet to pass that test, considering the manga has loyal fans who are doubtful. Seeing the trailer, a lot of the fans were excited and realized that it actually looks great. Another feels that the show will be disliked despite being good, for no good reason.

Just as he thought, there were critics who feel that the show looks way different from what they imagined it to be. The blame usually goes to show makers not sticking to the original source.

But one fan feels that not copying and adding its own element makes it more exciting.

However, seeing their scenes come to life is still exciting. One Piece live-action will drop on Netflix on 31st August.
