Children's Episodic? It was a kids show? Is that why it's competition was Disney+ stuff like Goosebumps and Percy Jackson?

A win's a win, but it does make me laugh that it won in the children's category. Yeah, it's kid friendly but I think of it more as a family show.

Anime can't even escape the "children's show" allegations even in high budget live action adaptations. Smh. Imagine if the MCU shows were put in the children's category.

whether MCU shows are put in the children's category or not, they are still shows for children/teenagers as well.

The source material literally runs in a magazine for adolescents.

Yeah but they usually cut a lot of the "juvenile" stuff out in live-action adaptions. They wanted to make it a mature show for adults and not be a silly comic book series/movie. They even added in swearing so that's how you know it definitely wasn't for kids. That's why it's funny it still got labeled as a kids show despite going through all those lengths to try to shed that label.

Good for One Piece honestly, but American children's shows tend to not drop F bombs, ha.

In a magazine for adolescents that many times published mature content that were either extremely gory, borderline pornographic, or both combined.

That doesn't really make that good of an argument, to be honest.

The series was nominated for Best Hair Styling in the Children and Teen Television Programming category for the 11th annual MUAHS Awards, but did not win.
I enjoyed the live action One Piece more than I thought I would but I don't know who actually liked any of those wigs they used.

It's TV14 on Netflix. It's hardly The Sopranos or Game of Thrones.

Yeah, I think I have to takes danpmss and <('_')^ side on this. These classifications really aren't that consistent and are more for marketing anyways.

What constitutes being appropriate for kids in Japan is much different than in America. That doesn't mean it's still not aimed at kids though. That being said I will say talking about the manga or even the anime is irrelevant since this is based on the Netflix live-action series which was going for a different tone, style, and audience than the original so what applies to the original manga has no baring here.

Yeah, no, not really. They are actually more conservative in a lot of particularities.
And Jump has had an enormous amount of controversies in Japan regarding the content of their manga ever since the 60s (because Go Nagai is who he is).

So no, not even in Japan those things are appropriate in the slightest, but the legislation and bills usually go light on fiction in general (exception being stuff like Aki Sora, and even then it was seen negatively by so many figures on the industry that the bill basically got ignored ever since they removed that one from circulation, as many other manga that did the same but even more hardcore are being published without problems to this day).
