Truly wonder how it managed a 4.5 stars. In fact, 1 star is already too generous.
So many things are so wrong with this adaptation.
I’ll give 2 examples of the character representations done awfully.
1st, Roger. Even with only a brief appearance in Ep 1, I already guessed this series will be disappointing. And I wasn’t wrong.
I mean, he has zero aura of a pirate king and presents himself more like a drunkard than a character that’s suppose to be imposing and feared by many.
2nd, Luffy. And I’m talking of the scene where the wakes up on Alvida’s ship.
The first thing he does is shushing Toby?! Oh, c’mon! Luffy is anything but “covert”…
Of course that isn’t even the tip of the iceberg of the wrongs. I can go on and on about other characters or changes to the storyline, but never mind. You don’t want to know. Really.
If you are someone who actually knows One Piece, don’t watch. Don’t torture yourself.
