Netflix finally released the Official Trailer and announced the rest of the cast. On the Netflix Official Site, there are many subs and dubs available as well as other teasers, so don't forget to check it!
It seems they changed the plot a little bit. The guys are facing Bui and Karasu outside the Tournament (?), and attacking Toguro all at once! I wonder if the "Rescue Yukina" Arc will involve all of them or if it's a new and original script.

This is going to sound preposterous but I really hope that the One Piece live action series will mark the beginning of a new era. I hope it will make big numbers and be acclaimed by fans, because it will teach hollywood and entertainment monopolies that when one takes time and involves the right people to make a live adaptation of a huge franchise, it always pays off.
I'm wishing for the moon here but I want stupid marketers to get it. I may not be a fan of One Piece at all, it'd be an honor in 20 years from now to say that they walked so many other good adaptations could run.
OP Live Action - Straw Hat Cast Describe Their Character in 10 Words Or Less
Call me crazy, but I feel like every single thing these people said is what the characters would say about themselves if they were asked to describe themselves. They're all terrible, but they're terrible in an in-character way, y'know? Also, I feel nobody compliments their sense of clothing enough. I love it.
Gonna need both Zutara and Kataang shippers to stop being weird as hell towards Gordon and Kiawentiio. They're are both children played by ACTUAL child actors. They're not pixels on paper anymore, they're REAL people. Stop being gross and weird.
One piece Live action trailer dropped and honestly I'm so excited?? Like yeah it looks a little cheesy but so is op and people gotta understand that it's an ADAPTATION it's not gonna be word for word and scene for scene. They're taking liberties with it and that's okay! Please please please try to remember that not everything has to be exactly the same and don't put down the cast if you don't like it. They're incredibly perfect for their characters and I think they'll do the characters justice. Let's give the LA some love people
Can we accept the fact that animated shows/movies were animated for a reason, and live action adaptations can never hold a candle to the originals for this reason? Animation breathes life into these worlds and magical systems in a way that live action, even with the best cgi, can't.
