One Piece: Romance Dawn (2023)
Season 1, Episode 1
Good and bad
31 August 2023
It had good and bad. I liked Rogers execution and I think they did really good with that especially that shanks and Mihawk stuff. I liked the Alvida stuff however I do NOT like luffys character there. His depth and writing was no where to be seen. He was supposed to be angry at Coby for being a coward but instead he was giving advice?? I really dislike the axe hand Morgan stuff and how much they changed that arc. I liked the Zoro-Mr 7 stuff and I really liked how it was more gore. They made axe hand stronger than he actually is but I don't mind that. What I do mind is they made that arc worse and it was already bad in the manga and anime. The best part in that arc was luffy punching Coby in the end but they completely removed that scene and again they removed luffy amazing character writing. Another thing I really dislike is how serious garp is in the live action. He also knows about boroque works but I actually don't mind that since it seems like boroque works in the live action is a lot less secretive. I really like buggy. Everything about him is perfect. The actor nailed that part especially his laugh. If luffy keeps going in this direction he's just going to be your average shallow main character with no real good writing or depth. They split his flashback and I don't mind it but I don't understand why they changed some of the scenes. Why didn't the bandit hit shanks in the face rather than than table and instead they added a corny scene of the bandit. I loved shanks sitting down and leaning in the table in the manga. It's something that I don't understand why they removed. Also I didn't like how they had shanks crew get ready for a fight when they already know that shanks isn't going to fight. And him saying "Not Everything has to be solved with violence" isn't shanks like. Saying "there's no point of fighting" or something along those lines would've been better. The show is fine but it won't Be one of the best if it keeps removing scenes that add depth and writing to certain characters. Characters like luffy shanks and Coby suffered greatly because of this.
