The One Piece live-action has officially become a part of the ‘hit show’ column in the long list of Netflix’s successfuls. The series following the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy to become the King of Pirates has brought in a storm with its epic adaptations, character portrayal, modified storyline, and brilliant editing. The audience for Netflix’s One Piece grew dramatically during the series’ first full week on the service, with 19.3 million views from September 4 to September 10, vaulting it to the top of Netflix’s English-language TV list for the week. The show has justified the name of the popular anime and manga series and has managed to earn the applause of Oda San himself.
The credit for the success of the series goes to everyone involved with it, but especially to the executive producer of Tomorrow Studios, Marty Adelstein. After giving major hits like Prison Break and Teen Wolf, Adelstein and Clements have also won the hearts of hardcore anime fans.
