One Piece originally started as a manga series 29 years ago and has run continuously ever since. An anime adaptation followed two years later and has continued to adapt the story from the manga. Now, Netflix is producing a live action series that tells the story of the Straw Hat Pirates. In this episode we discuss that series. We talk about world of One Piece and how well the props, sets, and effects create that world. We also express our opinions on all of the characters and what we think of their dynamics. We also get into the world building, speculation on what the One Piece actually is, and what makes this series so incredibly popular. Mike and Nathan also take the time to discuss how the plot and characters differ from the anime.
This week’s five-minute controversy asks if using CGI instead of Little People for the Dwarf characters in the live action Snow White film was the correct move to make.
This week Anji, Juliette, and Mike join the cast.
