Episode 1
@Stab You in the Back I avoided mentioning where I could.
Really TLDR - not that bad, I went in looking to complain and found plenty but it is passable. By anime adaptation standards it remains okay.
Opens with Baroque Works butchering a Marine base. Miss Valentine is annoying but I struggle to blame that on Netflix.
What I will point out as very obvious Netflix casting is that the one black Marine at this base is the ranking officer. Subtle (there is in fact one other black marine but he almost disappears in the background)
Robin's line on seeing the armed Marines, "that's quite a lot of arms you have." Someone was proud of that writing and I feel they learned from the Cowboy Bebop, "blackmail, because you're a black male" lot. Also for some reason the marine reaction to seeing her is just weird. It's like someone told them to look confused and unimpressed at the same time as an ice cube is going down their back.
Pretty cool scene using her powers complete with neck snapping, people being skewered with their own weapons. However because Netflix writing is in place again the arms cannot sprout out of a black man and he has to be killed by one of his subordinates being man handled into shooting him.
I'm going to stop pointing these out because noticing this shit is making me feel racist.
Mr 5's glasses and sassy remarks are reminding me of Ruby Rod from the Fifth Element and I hope I forget that before later episodes.
Jazzara Jaslyn (Miss Valentine) cannot do an English accent. Sanji's is worse.
Sanji and Usopp discussing supplies and immediately agreeing the answer for all the expenses they need is to go to Nami is very iin character, as is her getting a meticulously prepared dish and Usopp getting sandwiches.
Those glasses on Nami is someone's fetish.
Calm Belt is discussed reasonably well except for the wretched current year writing. I'll also defend the show runners telling not showing the Calm Belt.
Usopp claiming he killed a bunch of sea kings once and there's bad blood is a lovely lie. As is the three of them trying t get things planned out while Zoro is training and Luffy is sat on the figurehead of the boat.
Usopp is the lone voice saying, "maybe we don't go to the Marine infested Loguetown." Sanji wants supplies and points out to Nami she finally has an opportunity to spend her money freely for the first time in a while. Zoro wants swords. Nami points out it's where Roger was killed to Luffy.
"And you thought we were going to skip Loguetown," fuck off writers. Don't try to lean on the fourth wall.
Oh God no, they're doing more new content and having a flashback scene with Garp and Roger.
I have a horrible feeling someone in the writer's room room thinks Roger should be Jack Sparrow since his "banter" with Garp includes talking about enjoying verbal sparring. Garp at least admits he mostly enjoys hitting Roger which is in character but the fact that current year writing again hits and means he has to drop random profanities spoils it a little.
Ah, I see we're doing the Ace confession here to confuse the audience into thinking Luffy might be the son and then to make it even vaguer when Ace shows up. Crying shame that you can't do a plot twist of plot points revealed decades ago. I'm being reminded of the various trash sites trying to coyly insinuate, "oh in this season's MHA this character might die" despite the manga being far enough ahead that you knew it was not happening.
Loguetown is having a festival celebrating an anniversary of Roger's death as the crew arrive and scatter to their respective destinations. As is tradition Zoro has to beg money off Nami for swords.
"God what I wouldn't give for another girl on the crew." Thanks Netflix writers for showing you cannot write Usopp or Nami well. I am sure you compensate with an overdone action scene for her soon.
Smoker's conveyance of choice apparently can run atop water. He also looks scrawnier than most of his underlings.
Usopp may have stolen the goggles off a child but Daddy the Kid is not appearing in this adaptation.
God they're leaning into the whole Usopp/Kaya romance still. If they all go in and have him knocked her up and fucked off abandoning her and his child just like his dad I may hurt myself laughing.
I don't know which hero found the right hair piece for the weapon shop owner but that person in the costume department needs a round of applause. Also the actor is giving it his absolute all in the dodgy fuck aiming to get Zoro's remaining blade.
"Inflation's a bitch ain't it," might be the only added profanity that made me grin.
Tagashi is iffy. I can see what they are going for, the actress is trying. But they make her a bit too nasaly and also she doesn't let her enthusiasm overwhelm her. She's the one who warns Zoro about the cursed blade rather than the shopkeeper refusing to sell it first.
Zoro's obtaining the cursed blade is pretty good, tragically they omit the shop keeper's wife in this one which takes some stuff away. The actor is okay but needed someone to bounce off.
Bartolomeo is in this. Not as a random bit part but someone multiple crew members interact with. He's fairly average and I struggle to see him selling the obsessive fanboy later.
More random swearing.
Oh boy I thought I was tired of the swearing already, turns out Buggy's decided to come full of it. Bright side Luffy failing to remember his name is delivered perfectly. Crying shame the writers still think Buggy is Deadpool or the Joker in between sentences
Luffy remembers Alvida's name. She also is largely unchanged around her face. Of course she also incapacitates Luffy with a single blow of her mace. Credit to them at least they remember to slap on the seastone handcuffs.
Smoker really should smoke just one cigar at a time, non-animated mouths cannot cope with two. Also they should have gone with a younger child for the ice cream pants thing, the one they went with is a couple of years too old. The wardrobe department also would not let them actually leave ice cream stains on the pants which is pathetic, the budget so tight an extra pair of pants is beyond you?
Nami charging interest even though Zoro spent nothing is very apt.
Sanji getting blamed because Luffy wandered off seems fine.
Someone seems to think that this is a scene from Batman the Animated Series crossed with A Series of Unfortunate Events (with profanities) as the Buggy/Alvida alliance have a mock trial. Stop letting Netflix add scenes and dialogue.
Oh boy, a fight scene. This will be terrible.
Nami sweeps the leg and in the same movement leaps six feet in the air because they think this makes her a better character. She also fights Alvida better than Luffy does and her and Usopp are the ones to take her down.
The Marines get into sniper positions in the middle of the brawl because writers are idiots.
"Captain Shit-tacular." I have harped on about the profanity for a bit but this is an actual line of dialogue.
Two lines of added dialogue take so much from the execution scene. Luffy says "I'm dead," twice and Buggy has a random quip.
Credit to them Smoker does fulfil one of his main duties, underlining the almighty bullshit that is a Logia fruit at this point in the series.
Dragon is far too vague a presence. I reckon they needed a split screen bounty shot to tell the audience who he is.
Random scene between Tagashi and Nico. Apparently having Tagashi decide for herself to join Smoker's crusade was not good enough, instead Robin has to to lure her into other nonsense.

His laugh almost melted my heart, holy crap. They're totally anticipating getting to Thriller Bark, no way they'd bring him to the forefront so soon only to just not use him later on.
Who's the actor, anyway? I don't think we've ever gotten his cast announcement.

Alrighty, Finished Season 2.
If you didn't like season 1, probably not gonna like season 2. It's a step up from 1, if only from having more focus on the Alabasta saga.
At the end of it, It's like season 1 with I'm' iffy on shit that was left out and changed, but it ends up working out in the end. So, yeah still a nice side thing. Can't wait for Alabasta. Don't cock that up.
If you didn't like season 1, probably not gonna like season 2. It's a step up from 1, if only from having more focus on the Alabasta saga.
OK, first thing's first: The New Straw Hats.
-Robin's pretty on point. They extended her role a bit popping where she wasn't before. I'm really gonna see how she works out through Alabasta.
-Vivi is fine. Her actress is doing her fine. Her true test will really come with Vivi's crashouts in Alabasta. Little nervous at one thing, but that's later.
-Chopper works. I do think he's the weakest of the three right now. Really got to see how they do him next season. I really got to see other normies like him. He didn't rumble ball once, but I figure budget reasons. Then they show he has the rumble balls at the end.
So that's a season 3 thing.
Now, the rest.
-The arcs so far also double as character arcs for the straw hats. Which, if you gotta condense these arcs into a couple of episodes...OK.
-This was Ussop and Sanji's season. Making up for having to cut stuff from last season.
-Lougetown was fine.
-Laboon is the most changed arc. Crocus isn't in Laboon. Setting up Brook and other much later stuff, etc. No running gag gag.
-Tying Whiskey Peak with Zoro still not over his lost to Mihawk is a nice harmless add in. You get Mackenyu swordin' dudes most of the episode.
-Igaram was swell.
-Baroque Works as a whole was done well. Mr. 5 and Ms. Valentine are treated as big threats.
-Mr. 3 was good.
-They tie Little Garden with Ussop more. Which is fine. The pose shit with Zoro is there, but no actual pose gag.
-Mr. Prince is intact.
-They really should of just had Ms. Valentine do the sit thing. Might ber the most awkard change.
-But Zoro fighting Mr 5. while his foot's still stuck in wax was neat.
-They drop Believe in there like I won't notice!
-Physically adding in Ms. Thursday was a nice thing to do for an added scence.
-Wapol's actor is going damn hard with that big piece on his mouth. Big respect.
-Muthafuckin' Live Action King Ham Burger, baby!
-The Climb is there. It was solid.
-Dr. Hiriluk's actor understood the assignment. Some of the best bits in Season 2.
-I'm legit surprised they kept Nami pretty much out of the action through Drum. That's like the one thing I expected them to change.
-That being said, the thing I'm nervous about. They really wanted Vivi to do more in Drum. She stands up to Wapol, which Luffy yanks her out of trouble and goes "My Turn"
-Vivi also helps Luffy mid fight and Late fight, but late fight has Chopper and Sanji help Luffy beat Wapol. It evens out, I suppose, but I do hope they don't do that for Crocodile...or at least not as much. It's Netflix, I'll just count my blessings.
-The flag scene is there, but it's got that "we don't got the budget for blowing up a spire" feel to it. Scene still works, though.
-Sakura blooming in Drum still got me misty eyed, wasn't the bitch tears I got from the anime, but
-Crocodile is also aced from what i've seen so far. Giving him a crocodile leather vest is a damn peak choice.

I tend to like Ussop and Sanji in this, though I won't say they're a good adaptation of the characters. Generally, one thing I think the show nails so far is making the Strawhats feel like friends.
Still think the actor for Luffy is weirdly unwilling to go big. Mother fucker yells like he's afraid he's going to wake someone up, which is all the more awkward when you then have Buggy next to him actually yelling. Though, I feel like that's a thing with a lot of the show. A lot of big impactful or zany moments come off as way too brisk or restrained.
Also, did fucking Sabo appear for a hilarious jarring brief camera cut?

I like Ussop's actor but Luffy's actor looks like he just tries to capture the physical mannerisms of the manga/anime but they look weird when you try and do it in real life. It's something that was a little off putting to me in the first season too but the actor captures Luffy's whimsy very well in most places.

Considering this is Netflix it should be obvious they wouldn't let Sanji be the way he is in the anime/manga. All the people who claim they "fixed" Sanji are showing they're the biggest tourists.

"Fine" is being generous. Her actress isn't very good, and this adaptation has basically removed her personality.
The one part of season 2 that made me laugh more than anything else
Having Usopp defeat Miss Goldenweek instead of Karou, playing into the meme of Usopp's greatest victories being against young girls.

The funniest stuff in those comments is a lot of them really seem to think that the live action One Piece is a big success for Netflix.
No. Squid Games, Cobra Kai, Stranger Things. Those were big hits because everyone was watching and discussing them. One Piece seems to have been popular but it is not the success any of them were.

It's because of sentiment. It has to be successful so we can keep getting slightly closer to the source material adaptions of anime nobody is really asking for but hollywood wants to make money off the extreme success of anime. Most fans might look at these with curiosity but will usually drop them after a season since the curiosity about the differences wears off.
It's backed by a lukewarm "don't you wanna see it succeed?" type of thinking which you can do with a niche. The more loyal customers are the more will stick around and support you when the typical audience leaves for the next shiny thing to obsess over. Pretenders/Invaders/Tourists/whatever you want to call them all want to be a part of the popular thing but the popular thing is just a vague existing thing that could be anything and everything. They want things to be part of the same grey slop that the internet at large is talking about.

Possibly. I do think there's also those same people who when Game of Thrones or Stranger things were doing well started bragging that nerdy interests were suddenly cool.
There's a desire to assume your niche interests are going mainstream.

Fair. like I said I'm holding off a proper verdict till Alabasta's finish.
Also, it's really neat to watch Live Action One Piece just to her the OG VAs having a more natural take on the characters.
Edit: To be frank, the Live Action getting people to look at the manga, has been a positive on my end.
It's gotten people near me to take more of an interest in it and also one starting to like Robin before season 2 came out.
Actually being able to talk about One Piece across the table is nice.

I really hate interacting with the one piece community, i have the words muted because all they are doing is arguing about the race of characters and politics. Speaking of when did the whole media literacy crap start becoming a thing in the community was it recent around the 2024 election or has it been a discussion longer

A bit earlier, I think. Libs were getting tired of everyone dunking on their bad takes and started accusing everyone of lacking in "Media Literacy". As there is a big amount of libs in this community, it reached us too.

I was reading reddit and they were all stroking each other's cocks over black Vivi saying that "Egypt is Africa so of course Vivi is brown." Because when you're an enlightened redditor, all the browns look alike. Egypt, Nicaragua, India, Congo.. what's the difference?
I also got banned for posting this in response to a "I fixed Rebecca's design" post:
