Surprising exactly zero people, considering how amazingly successful it has been in the last 2 weeks.

People Say this broke the Anime to Live/Action Curse that has plagued the industry for so long. (I would argue that Battle Angel Alita or Detective Pickachu broke it first).

Well Alita was more of an ova/manga and DP was more of a game adaptation, the later def broke the video game to live action curse as we have had pretty great video game live action films these past few years, even the worst of them are still okish.

OP s1 def broke records and tv live action adaptation tough and i do not think any other series would off pulled it off. Unlike Bebop, Netflix and the producers could not afford not to follow his instructions and approval, you diss on the most influential mangaka ever, you can kiss your platform goodbye.

It will be interesting how they will incorporate some of the more wacky and crazy sheningans for the later parts of the story as OP just gets more crazy with each following arc. However as long as the fans and people support it, it will be fine. Looks LIKE OP has reached its hands into another succesfull venture. It will last forever. LETS GO>>>>>>>>

The only way the show would have been canceled after week 2 held steady and slightly grew the audience is if an earthquake swallowed the production studio whole. I guarantee you that the call to renew came Monday morning. No records were "broken" though, not even close. We know that for a fact. A B+ performance is still good, under changing conditions on top of that.
The studio needs to negotiate to get the original 10 ep order reinstated and have the lost 2 eps not count to the S2 total. Starting with a deficit is never good and will only pass on the buck to the next season. S2 was fully mapped out during S1 and S3-6 were roughly mapped out. Da source: https://deadline.com/2023/09/one-piece-producers-manga-luffy-interview-1235544012/

The S1-6 plan is clearly Part 1 in a perfect world with steady ratings, cast constancy, no budgetary woes, no industry shutdowns and gracefully aging actors. S2 might start on the same day S1 ends so they will need to create logical gaps for time to pass if this gets past S2. If this gets to S4 and roughly ends forever with Post-Enies Lobby then fine by me and 7 (half-hour sitcom) seasons are the Netflix record so far. Grace and Frankie with 94 eps. Anyway, Break Piece is the manga´s future now unless Oda gives up on sleep and his Sunday family visits.

Considering the numbers it did during the all encompassing strike (meaning no one could promote the thing, the actors couldn’t go on Colbert or SNL to talk about the show or do skits) utterly clobbered shows like the Sandman and the Netflix Bebop, for less money than The Sandman and The Witcher, a Season 2 was the smart thing to do. I do think Netflix probably will be expecting growing numbers for next season though when all this strike business is done with, mostly because OP will only get more fantastical and more expensive to put on screen.

LA OP cost 17.25 mil per ep. Sandman (the better show and adaptation) cost 15 mil. That said, Sandman started sluggish but built an audience. The renewal was hard fought as the showrunners refused to budge on key points as the budget but it came. Not within a week 1/2 of course.
Yellowstone costs more per ep than either but that happens if you go for stars and the budget starts to spiral season by season. OP can´t operate with the current budget either for too long as things will snowball as early as S2.

You are, of course, aware that he just had eye surgery and it can take months to completely heal from, yeah? It's honestly wild that he only took a month off and is still doing chapters pretty much every other week(with no breaks scheduled for the next 3 weeks): https://claystage.com/one-piece-chapter-release-schedule-for-2023

But oh no! The inconvenience! Rolling Eyes

@residentgrigo

season 2 will be the real challenge. not only they have a lot of challenges to overcome from the source material to adaptation. they also have to keep the same degree of success for season 2 as season 1 had.

either way I don't see this ever getting 6 seasons. if season 2 will do less good than season 1 it will get cancelled. and they absolutely need 10 episodes this time.

"Amazingly" successful, to be exact. I'd dare say superbly, if it goes for another "over-one-hundred-million-hours-watched week.

Wasn't the curse that Netflix couldn't produce good live-action adaptations from manga or anime? I don't think the movies you mentioned count as a curse breaker since it was about Netflix. Or maybe I was the only one that thought that.

My brain just put two and two together. The manga´s schedule keeping the slowed-down pace will mess with the anime even more. 2023 will be the year with the least chapters released unless it ties with 2020. Just 4 weeks were for the eye surgery. Zero new breaks than the monthly off week need to happen for that. Oda can take 10 years off for all I care.

I did the math. Wano´s anime, 16 Vol with 188 eps at a minimum, will be as long or longer than JoJo´s whole anime, 80 Vol with 190 eps, and as long as 90s Sailor Moon´s 200 ep extravaganza if I am allowed to count all the summary specials. JoJo Part 1 was rushed and only Part 3 is paced like the manga of course. OG Sailor Moon is another Toei-paced mess but barely an adaptation. Even DB(Z) moved faster but not OP. Look forward to 8 pages of Egghead an ep in the anime. Thank god for fan cuts. The real losers today are anime onlys.
