Amine live-action creators and anime fans share a tumultuous relationship because of the creators’ inability to make a proper live-action of their beloved series, which destroys the franchise’s reputation and the hard work of authors and animators. This was the case when One Piece live-action was announced. Fans were in agony, and the haters were extremely happy, but due to members’ hard work, it became a hit. In an interview, One Piece’s live-action producer stated that he successfully turned the haters into fans after the series was released.
One Piece is one of the most legendary series that will ever exist and has millions of fans all around the globe who tune in every day to watch their beloved characters. When One Piece live-action was announced, most of the fanbase turned haters for this project, but the show’s success has proved everyone wrong. In an interview with Deadline, executive producers Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements stated that he turned haters into allies.
Why were the fans against the One Piece live-action
One Piece is arguably one of the most well-known anime in the world, and the same goes for manga. The series is extremely loved, and without a doubt, it is a masterpiece. Fans have witnessed through the years that live actions always tend to ruin the image of the series.
When One Piece live-action was announced, fans were angry and raised their voice to protect their series from becoming a meme. However, all their doubts and anger vanished when they saw the final product.
One Piece Live Action is the most successful adaptation to date and broke several records, and fans are eagerly waiting for the upcoming season.
In an interview with Deadline, show executive producers Marty Adelstein and Becky Clements said this:
“The people in the office have shown us a lot of TikTok videos of people saying ‘this is going to be awful, this is going to be terrible’. And then they brought in TikTok videos of the same people going, ‘I was so wrong, this is so good’. So real skeptics have turned around and really have praised the show and have been very happy with it and very surprised at how good it was.”
One Piece Live Action Success:
One Piece Live Action has managed to take over the fanbase and has got them craving like never before. Fans eagerly await the upcoming season’s confirmation and want to see other characters get animated.
The series was streaming at number 1 in 84 countries, accumulated $140,000,000 Hours of Watch Time, and broke records for all previous live-action. The fans appreciated the hard work of everyone involved.
