Netflix failed miserably when it comes to anime adaptations. There are many animes they have tried to adapt but end up getting trolled by fanverse and critics. Recently, they released the anime adaptation of famous manga and anime Death Note which was the least good thing you can watch on the planet. Instead of getting serious and dark, the movie ends up becoming comical with unnecessary visuals. There are many adaptations who got failed, but there is some adaptation that actually gets a hit in real life and are finely accepted by fans, like, Jojo Bizarre Adventure: Diamond Is Unbreakable Chapter 1. One Piece adaptations look like a big fish but let’s see will they make it this time. Let’s find out.

The role of Fishman Arlong will be played by Mckinley Belcher. He is famous for his infamous role as Samuel Diggs in the TV series, Mercy Street, Anthony Carter, the series Passage, and as Agent Trevor in the popular Netflix series Ozark. Arlong is the major antagonist of the Arlong arc in One Piece and the one who molested Nami and his village for many years. He took countless lives and imposed heavy taxation on people’s life. It seems that now is the time to see the mega auction in real life when Luffy and Arlong will clash in the battle.
The role of Monkey D. Garp will be played by Vincent Regan. This British actor is famous for his ultimate role in 300, Troy, Unleashed, Clash of the Titans, and Lockout. Monkey D. Garp is one of the most prominent characters in the series and the one who prepared many individuals for their life journey. He himself holds the title of Vice-Admiral and firmly refuses the title Admiral for some obvious reasons. He earned acknowledgment from Roger himself, and the world knows him as the Hero of the Navy.
Why Live-Action Adaptations Fails
Now, let’s side this One Piece upcoming adaptation and talk in general why people don’t prefer watching live adaptations. In the old days, we used to dream about our favorite characters and how they would look like in real life. But now, it seems that anime can showcase what a real-life movie can’t. The bonding of humans with anime characters seems strong and can twist our emotions in every possible way, but this is not true for adaptations. Adaptations generally follow some arc from anime or manga, and it looks like an unusual thing happening on the big screen. People loved to watch their favorite character in the anime universe rather than any real-life world, but we hope that One Piece adaptations will turn the tables upside down, and fans will actually enjoy the show the way they enjoy the actual anime.
