[IGN; 9/10] Netflix’s ‘One Piece’ Season 2 Review: With grand production design, exquisite costuming, and stunning VFX work, and the most adorable reindeer doctor, this live-action manga adaptation is nothing short of a miracle
Just finished the first episode of season 2. It really is miraculous how well they have done this. It really really shouldn’t work but they have adapted it so well. It works stand alone and for long time fans. Looking forward to seeing videos of all the Easter eggs I missed.

Please fans don’t take this the wrong way, but I think part of the reason it works is because the acting is akward enough that it gives authentic cringey anime vibes.

Watched Episode 1 and im loving it. The CGI has really improved and impressed me. It’s a lot better than the first season already.
Zoro is amazing. My critique of him from S1 was that he was TOO stoic. In S2x1, he was smiling more often and showing emotions; I loved it. My fav for sure.
Will continue watching tomorrow, it’s way too late.

Currently rewatching season 1 with my kids (they’ve not seen it before) and I forgot just how much fun this show is. So great to see the new season getting such great reviews!

They doubled down on the sincerity, on the commitment to the bit. Unlike their hamfisted, “too cool for school” attempt at Cowboy Bebop, complete with a self-appointed PC censorer on the staff censoring the scripts (which led to the creator of the anime dismissing it as crap), this show is loyal to the manga to an absolute fault.
