The beloved manga series created by Eiichiro Oda, One Piece, has been adapted into an ambitious live-action television series by Netflix, bringing the swashbuckling saga to a new medium for audiences around the world. Just as wonderfully wacky as the popular anime series can be, the live-action One Piece is more grounded than its manga and anime counterparts, befitting its presentation. While fans of the anime might find a lot to love here, the live-action series is likely not the best way for uninitiated viewers to experience Oda’s globally renowned story for the first time.Faithful to the manga, One Piece follows young Monkey D. Luffy, who dreams of becoming the King of Pirates by claiming the legendary One Piece treasure hidden by the late pirate king Gol D. Roger. Luffy quickly joins forces with fellow seafaring misfits Roronoa Zoro, Nami, Usopp, and Sanji to search the high seas for the One Piece, each using their unique abilities to survive the harrowing dangers around them. However, Luffy’s quest has not gone unnoticed by nefarious figures, with a whole cadre of memorable villains after him while the Navy hunts all pirates.The strongest element in One Piece is the casting, including Iňaki Godoy’s endlessly effervescent Luffy, Mackenyu as the comically stoic Zoro, Emily Rudd as the determinedly fiery Nami, Jacob Romero Gibson as the cheerful Usopp, and Taz Skylar as the smarmy Sanji. The supporting cast and memorable antagonists are just as fun to watch, most notably Jeff Ward, who gives an appropriately deranged performance as the fearsome Buggy the Clown. Each of these actors perfectly captures the spirit of the manga characters, with Mackenyu and Rudd as the particular standouts from the regular cast.RELATED: Netflix’s One Piece Gets Ready to Set Sail With Final Trailer
