After watching a plethora of live-adaptations for many stories and animes, this is the only series that comes close to perfection. It is not perfect, but it certainly lives up to the hype, and surely does a pretty good job delivering one of the most entertaining stories in Anime to real television.
The pacing is on point, it may feel rushed to those who are used to the anime's pace, but the flow in this series delivers everything on the right timing. Every single actor studied their characters pretty well, especially the main ones, we felt for the characters, they had way more depth even than when they were introduced in the anime, which I believe is a perk of having a live adaptation rather than just plain animation.
However, I believe there should be some consistency in the gore-like delivery, for example, some fights are pretty bloody, and some other fights are unreasonably "blood-less" ?
Anyway, Luffy doesn't look too braindead in this series, I am pretty sure this brings One Piece to a whole new taste and dimension, I certainly would rewatch it some time, and I can't wait for Season 2 !
