One Piece live-action gears up for its second installment
To say One Piece is popular would be an understatement considering its worldwide fanbase. Apart from being a bestselling manga, Oda’s series bagged several accolades. The anime has garnered popularity and positive reception because of its excellent animation.
To say the least, the live-action series isn’t far behind. The first season was a complete banger, especially with its viewership. This was also because of the production quality, set designs, and casting. The painstaking efforts are paying off as the franchise gears up for the second season.
With the first season being a massive hit, fans couldn’t help but marvel at the second season’s casting. From Joe Manganiello as Crocodile to Julia Rehwald as Tashigi, it is impeccable. What’s even more interesting is the process behind production. The costumes, set designs, CGI, and VFX are truly praiseworthy.
Moreover, the budget per episode makes the series one of the most expensive projects by Netflix. The mangaka’s involvement in this project is what makes it remarkable. Especially when it comes to authentic and just adaptations. Oda’s involvement in the series was a crucial yet befitting move for the franchise.
With Netflix gearing up for the second season, one thing is certain. The series will notch up the production quality along with the VFX. The second installment is set to focus on Arabasta Saga. Needless to say, the BTS and glimpses look more than promising.
One Piece live-action is available for streaming on Netflix.
