From extended sword fights to exotic locales, One Piece excels at spectacle. Each of Season 1's eight episodes features at least one highly involved set piece ( and usually more), be it a heist, an all-out brawl, or a naval battle. Even less overtly out-there sequences, like visits to an at-sea restaurant or a rich benefactor's mansion, get their own degrees of flashiness. The latter even morphs into a slasher-esque showdown that will have you on the edge of your seat. XD

It's true that live action cannot completely replicate anime or manga's ultra-expressive physical acts and explosive fight scenes. One Piece live action certainly tries its best, with some efforts working better than others. For example, when it comes to filming, One Piece tends to over-rely on extreme close-ups and canted angles to achieve an anime feel.

One Piece's execution remains strong enough to deliver a larger-than-life delight one with a strong heart. Yes, this is a series where a boy can repel a bullet with his stretchy skin, but it's also a series about a group of outcasts finding and helping each other. Every member of the Straw Hat Pirates, including later recruits Usopp and Sanji, has a specific dream they want to achieve but none of them can get there alone. Only together can these five adventurers prevail. And with their quests already off to a promising start with Season 1, it's hard not to want more of this.......So Please Release The S2 faster!!??
