Okay so I watched the live action One Piece...
It was so good I genuinely couldn't believe it????
Like I liked? all... of it??
About halfway through the first episode I ended up sitting on the floor in front of the tv, eating chips, feeling like a ten year old watching Saturday morning cartoons. (Except I grew up without tv so I guess I felt more like what I assume a ten year old watching Saturday morning cartoons feels like. Perhaps that's why I enjoyed it so much? Who knows lol.)
I was ~captivated~ I enjoyed the whole experience so much. I haven't fully felt like this in a year and a half so it was genuinely nice to watch something that was familiar to me while simultaneously analyzing the differences. It was super fun!
There were even parts I thought the live action did better than the anime!
Shocking I know. But!
I loved watching Zoro and Nami bicker and actually like each other. I always got the vibe in the anime (at least early on) that they were cousins that only pretended to get alone for the sake of their other cousin that they actually got along with. (If they didn't try to get along Luffy would cry and neither of them can stand that.)
And Nami just being more chill and badass in general was super nice. I feel like her and Luffy were the two that were changed the least and it really worked for them.
Luffy! Perfect casting. Him not knowing wtf he's doing as a captain and then muddling through the best he could for the people he knew were depending on him. And figuring out his powers along the way? So interesting.
Usopp being adorable! He's trying his best! He's just some guy but the whole crew will gas him up! (also I screamed when he and Kaya kissed frfr.)
Sanji being bad at flirting? Amazing. Everyone he flirts with going "Ew no." was perfect. (Literally the most annoying part of his character is his over the top fawning over women like can you just chill? for once in your life can you just be normal? I love him when he's not being a hound dog and put up with him when he is but i'm rolling my eyes SO hard behind his back.)
Helmeppo and Coby trying to speed-run enemies to friends to lovers. I'm so here for it. (Garp and Coby playing go and Helmeppo going "Dude wtf he's playing u are u dumb" *chefs kiss*)
Buggy! His actor...👀 but Buggy himself 🤮 (jk he was great him being genuinely menacing in the beginning and then in the end flipping off both Zoro and Sanji and then running away was hilarious.)
And of course my wife Roronoa Zoro. That introduction scene was *fans self* something. I was iffy on his actor in the gifs i saw but him in action is... very nice.
And then that's not even touching on the actual real sets and the fun fight scenes and the practical make up!
Final thoughts:
They managed to condense 45 episodes into 8 in way that made sense while keeping the main story beats intact.
And they did a good job all around.

Guess who claimed another victim at the vet yesterday? This fucking guy!
We took him in for his second Solensia shot (they do seem to be helping him, which is good) and also because he seems to be having a reaction to the flea collar we recently switched him to. He has a big scab on his neck, so they went ahead and shaved him (I swear, that's like the sixth time his neck has had to be shaved this year -- he's never going to have fur on his neck again) and sanitized it so it could heal. Then the vet tech went to take a picture of the wound so they could have a record of how it looked in case it gets worse, and he swatted her hand so hard he knocked her phone out of her hand.
At least it wasn't a bite, I guess.
