Ghost_MH Posted November 9, 2021 Share Posted November 9, 2021 Even if this winds up being terrible, never claim Netflix isn't good at casting these. On a wildly unrelated, Netflix is also working on a live action Yu Yu Hakusho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Greatoneshere Posted November 10, 2021 Share Posted November 10, 2021 Live action One Piece sounds insanely impossible to pull off. Yu Yu Hakusho maybe, because it is connected to the real world, but the whole point of One Piece is how insanely imaginative every place, location, person is. You'd need Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets money, and it'd still be impossible because you also have insane superpowers that you'd also need to depict on screen. It's an incredibly dumb idea. We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's an incredibly dumb idea. We'll see. One Piece should legitimately be impossible. I don't understand how is supposed to work. The powers make no sense. The world makes no sense. Even the way they get around makes little too no sense. One Piece is what if shounen was a horny fever dream and I took lots of drugs. What's crazier is that Oda is actually working with Netflix here. Oda isn't exactly sane, so I gave no idea what to expect. Yu Yu Hakusho is something else entirely. That series is totally doable as a live action series. A lot of it will look silly, but that's a given for most of these anime adaptations.

Your description of One Piece is what makes it such a great manga and anime, it's just something that can't work in live-action. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Netflix Posts 1st Character Image for Live-Action Yu Yu Hakusho Series WWW.ANIMENEWSNETWORK.COM Takumi Kitamura plays Yusuke Urameshi in series premiering in December 2023 This one could maybe work live action. It's not really doing much that's all that different from modern comicbook movies. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keyser_Soze Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 Also a small aside. If you have game pass they are giving away Season 1 of Yu Yu Hakusho as a perk of game pass, you have till the end of the month to take advantage. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greatoneshere Posted July 16, 2022 Share Posted July 16, 2022 I love the original Yu Yu Hakusho, making that live action makes more sense than One Piece, but just barely. And even though it can be done, I'm sure this will be bad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This series, however, isn't your regular Netflix live action. This one is being handled by Robot, the same guys that did the live action Parasyte and Assassination Classroom. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They do try to go for as close as possible to a 1:1 adaptation of the source. Sometimes it works, sometimes I feel you should change things a bit to better fit the medium. What works in anime doesn't always work in live action, and that's a lesson these guys DON'T seem keen on learning. They want to be as close to the anime as possible, no matter how cringy or weirdly out of place some anime tropes wind up looking in live action. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did like the Rurouni Kenshin movies, a rarity where I thought a live action Japanese production was good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
