I hope it returns as soon as possible so that I can continue exploring this weird, wonderful world I've fallen in love with. That love was only solidified by One Piece season 2, which I cannot recommend enough.

With grand production design, exquisite costuming, and stunning VFX work, and the most adorable reindeer doctor, this is a grand adventure worth embarking on. Some choices may be controversial for manga purists, but it makes this show a unique and fresh viewing experience no matter what your familiarity with the source material may be.

It remains the best live-action adaptation on television, and the competition isn't even remotely close.

One Piece’s storytelling compass remains pointed in the right direction.

One Piece continues to embrace theatricality and artifice on a grand scale, and it’s even more joyously assured than ever.

“One Piece” remains an imperfect, if entertaining, treat; for those lacking the will or the time to dive into thirty-plus years of manga or anime (the show’s episode count is already in the four figures), it does well in a pinch.

Where Season 1 was mostly table setting, Season 2 is the true beginning of this adventure, embracing the weirdness and warmth of the source material for better and worse.

Holy smokes this is phenomenal, im glad they put this much detail in. Episode 7 made me actually cry. Seeing a lot of the behind the scenes in season 1 I knew how much effort was put in, made me feel a little more zoomed out. Although i feel like the source material wasn't as good as season 1 the execution was phenominal. The use of CG was done extremely well. If theres any critique i have its just how weird some ppl look like chopper in attack mode - then i look at the source material and kinda get it. Also the fights - they always force a 1v1 or some kind of split up fight - i dont blame them i think the choreo is quite challenging and its an old anime - they have their iso battles lol. Anyways perfect 10 for me, I was hooked - couldn't spot watching after like ep 3 or 4 or something.

Decisamente un miglioramento rispetto alla prima stagione. Sarebbe da 9.5 siccome la regia è ancora debole rispetto a tutto il resto. Effetti speciali e coreografie ottime

As a One Piece fan of couple of decades this was an absolute blast filled with clever Easter Eggs and fun action. Without spoiling what they are I felt like all major changes and nods to future content were tastefully brought to the season to enhance the content. I was all smile in grin from the start to finish and I can’t wait for more.

Season 2 lacks depth, detail, and tension. No giant waves, no struggles within the Going Merry, no epic sea battles. The entire set looks like a newly-opened One Piece theme park, dust free and organized. And the Straw Hats, who seem to be spending more time on land than at sea, look like a bunch of city kids cosplaying as pirates with their clean clothes, nice hair, and sunburn-free skin. Scurvy can be ignored. But sailing across the perilous waters for many days, and no blisters? Come on! They should be called Straw Hat Island Hoppers, instead of pirates. As for the peformance, well, it's a mixed bag. I really like the renditions of Wapol, Nami, Zoro, Chopper, Nico, Mr. 3, and Kureha. The rest of the cast is not quite there yet, especially Luffy. The lines he delivers don't get through to me and end up being cringey. Take a cue from Johnny Depp's Jack Sparrow. Just the right amount of quirkiness. Anyways, perhaps my expectations were high. I don't **** more thing though, the One Piece anime or manga should only serve as a guide to tell a much richer and more convincing story, and not as a universal template. The writers should have taken some liberties, just like what the writers of Rurouni Kenshin did. Perfect fusion of reality and fantasy. No wonder why no anime live adaptation ever comes close to RK. That said, I hope they get the Alabasta storyline right (think of Lawrence of Arabia or Dune meets the Pirates of the Caribbean). If not, then, Netflix should axe this show. Try to raise the **** bar a little bit higher!

Thank you Netflix for destroying another (One) Piece of my childhood with your woken nonsense. It's really so hard to stick to the sources material . I wouldn't be surprised if Luffy came out as trans in season 3.
