Impressive sets, an assumed manga atmosphere and some nice special effects, the live action adaptation is off to a good start.

“I am Monkey D. Luffy and I will become the greatest pirate!” One Piece arrives in “live action” on Netflix. And inevitably, given the number of fans that the biggest manga in the world has, the expectations will be gigantic.
