One Piece
Yesterday, Netflix gave fans a first look at the Straw Hat pirates in the upcoming live-action One Piece series. Similarly to Naruto, One Piece follows the misadventures of Monkey D. Luffy as he sails the seas to become the king of the pirates. In a written statement, series creator Eiichiro Oda hyped up the live-action series, most notably, the cast of babyface actors portraying his iconic characters. Oda apparently was a big fan of “the size of their mouths and hands” and their whole aura.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, Steven Maeda, from Lost and The X-Files fame, will executively produce the show alongside Luke Cage’s Matt Owens and Oda. The series is slated to release sometime later this year.
