Grats?
Also, what did you like about it? Why did ypu decide to watch it? If you have watched the anime and/or read the manga, how did it compare? Was there any obvious bullshit? How well proportioned is Nami? Were you drunk/high and did that change the viewing experience?
Hah, let’s see
-I thought it conveyed the emotions and motivations of the characters well, faithful to (what I know of) the original story, also the special effects were good and the sets/costumes/visuals were good too
-seeing small amounts of positive buzz from a few different sources
-I’ve watched maybe the first 20-30 episodes of the anime and I read a few chapters of the manga back when I had a SJ sub like 20 years ago - so some general familiarity - so far it seems to capture the spirit quite well imo
-Obvious bullshit? Feels like a lot of the characters got hit with a touch of the tar brush, they made Monkey into a mestizo, alvida into some weird Pacific Islander, and there’s that picture of Nami’s sister floating around. At least Nami is white and zoro is japanese, and Monkey’s actor isn’t bad, so I’ve not been driven into cringe overdrive yet
-Nami is pretty true to form. Not quite as stacked or proportioned as the (idealized) comic, but pretty, seemingly spared the trend of consecutive beatings with the ugly stick that so many characters are forced to undergo during these kinds of transitions to live action
-No I don’t think that had much of an effect
Dont forget Lucky Roux was also blackwashed
Lucky Roux was still the best Red Hair pirate though, Yasopp was fine, Shanks was mediocre, the rest were awful.
Nami seems hot. Just the right amount of thicc.
