Great, now make a good version of Deathnote as a series like I wanted in the first place.
I've also got an idea for a live action adaptation for Another in the think tank. Think it could work with the right adjustments. Admittedly the death of middle schoolers would be a hard sell.

Assuming we'll cover the above arcs, there's quite a few fan favorites making their first appearance - Chopper, Robin, Vivi, Ace, Crocodile, Smoker, Bon Clay... I just really hope fans won't be weird about the show potentially casting a MENA actress for Vivi if they stick with Alabasta's Egyptian inspiration. |
I think it's perfectly fine to complain about changes being made from the source material, especially with stuff like that, but they've already racebent plenty of characters already in the show so it's a bridge they already crossed and something I think most people expected as soon as people saw it was being handled by Netflix. The real question is if they have the guts to do Bon Clay justice or they'll tone him down or erase him entirely out of fear of backlash in America. The okama are probably the biggest challenge they'll have in the entire series rather than any of the Devil Fruit abilities because of America's sensitivity on the issue.

One Piece has finally broken the live action anime adaptation curse!

Sure you’ll just have to wait another decade and a half

Well, that is supposed to be the next project of the Duffer Brothers (Stranger Things) and allegedly the one they asked to do, so, good luck to them.

Anyone wonder what happened to the Netflix Yu Yu Hakusho? It came and went, it seems.

It's done neither, because it hasn't come out yet. Back in 2021 it was apparently schedule for December 2023, but it's anyone's guess if that will be accurate or not.

I’ve seen some Twitter chatter earmarking the show for a December 14th premiere, but news has been scant since the main foursome were announced last year (although filming was noticed in numerous locations prior). Still have no idea what Botan looks like in this.
If that’s a hit too, there will be a rush to fast track anime IP’s from their various slumbers.

I've very surprised that they are including Chopper, I wonder if the whole Barque Works saga will be adapted or if they will go in a different direction. East Blue cost $138 million, and that's just a few ships and small villages, with only 2(it would be 3 with Smokker) devil fruit powers shown.
Barque Works has a giant whale, giants, whatever Wapol is, ridable ducks, 3 Logia Devil Fruit users and 2+ Zoan users. Even locations consist of an island covered in thick snow and a giant city in the desert.
Unless they just go to Drum Island and then they make up something new from there.

Well, yeah. This was good. Live-action CB? Not so much.
I hope Chopper is a puppet or a blend of puppetry and CG, and not fully CG. But I have a feeling he will be CG. Ah well. They did the Lord of the Coast justice.
Drum Island and Alabasta will prove tricky to do. They better up the budget.

In its first week, One Piece got 10 times the viewing hours Bebop did. Bebop’s sins are legion, but from a raw numbers game, One Piece won easily.

I feel like it'll only get more challenging for the show from here but I'm eager to see where it goes...

netflix 10th best tv shows of all time is "queen charlotte: a bridgerton story" with a TOTAL of 526 mil hours viewed. and that show came out 4 and a half months ago. so either one piece gonna get into the top 10 tv shows of all time for netflix in a few weeks (considering you're claiming they are racking over 140mil hours viewed weekly) or you're simply wrong.

It doesn't even have to be about quality, One Piece is just flat out more popular worldwide than Cowboy Bebop. No surprise it did better. Cowboy Bebop has always been a treasure to a very specific audience of Americans who grew up watching Adult Swim in the early 2000s, but worldwide it's never exactly been a mega-hit giant. One Piece has tons of fans in every country so a much wider audience to pull from.
