Production

Development

In July 2017, Weekly Shōnen Jump editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano announced that Tomorrow Studios (a partnership between Marty Adelstein and ITV Studios) and Shueisha would commence production of an American live-action television adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga series as part of the series' 20th anniversary celebrations. ^{[31] [32] [33]} Oda would serve as executive producer for the series alongside Tomorrow Studios CEO Adelstein and Becky Clements. ^[32] The series would reportedly begin with the East Blue saga. ^[34] Adelstein also said the production cost could set new records. ^[35]

In January 2020, Oda revealed that Netflix had ordered a first season initially consisting of ten episodes. ^[36] In May 2020, producer Marty Adelstein revealed that the series was originally set to begin filming in Cape Town at Cape Town Film Studios sometime around August but had been delayed to around September due to the COVID-19 pandemic. He also revealed that, during the same interview, all ten scripts had been written for the series and they were set to begin casting sometime in June. ^[37] However, executive producer and writer Matt Owens stated in September 2020 that casting had not yet commenced. ^{[38] [39] [40]}

In March 2021, production started up again with showrunner Steven Maeda revealing that the series codename is Project Roger. ^{[41] [42]} In September 2021, the series revealed its first look at the logo for the series. ^[43] That same month, it was reported that Marc Jobst will direct the pilot episode of the series; ^[44] he was approached to direct the pilot by Netflix executives due to their positive relationship after Jobst helmed episodes for Netflix series such as Daredevil , Luke Cage , and The Witcher . Jobst agreed to work on One Piece due to the script's optimistic tone. ^[45] In February 2022, it was announced that Arisu Kashiwagi will be the creative director and designer for the show's brand identity, where she will be creating and designing logo and title sequence etc. ^{[46] [47]} In March 2022, alongside the release of additional casting announcements, it was said that head writer and executive producer Matt Owens would serve as co-showrunner alongside Maeda. ^[15] In June 2022, Emma Sullivan was revealed to have directed episodes of the series. ^[48]

On September 7, 2023, Tomorrow Studios CEO Marty Adelstein revealed that the scripts for the second season are ready but filming could not begin until the SAG-AFTRA strike is resolved. Tomorrow Studios president Becky Clements stated that once they can begin filming, they expect the season would premiere approximately 12–18 months later. ^[49] Netflix did not formally announce that the series was renewed for a second season until September 14. ^{[7] [8]} Clements commented that they've had "thorough conversations" on the second season with Netflix, Shueisha and Oda and "less extensive conversations" on seasons three to six. ^[50] Adelstein and Clements commented that with over 1,080 manga chapters, there is at least twelve seasons of material so just six seasons would only cover half the total manga chapters. ^[50] On April 23, 2024, Joe Tracz joined the second season as writer, executive producer and co-showrunner alongside Owen who is returning as co-showrunner. ^[51]

Changes from the manga

There were a couple of things that took some persuading. And if there was something that Oda-san was really, really unhappy with, we found a way to change it. But there were some things that we tried and got into the show that initially, he was a little gun shy about. One of those was [that] we've structurally moved a couple things up that don't happen until much later chapters.

Steven Maeda,September 2023 interview with Screen Rant ^[52]

In a July 2023 open letter, Oda stated that there were numerous scenes he felt "weren't good enough to put out into the world", so the film crew re-shot them. ^{[53] [54] [55]} Oda also felt some of Luffy's lines did not feel like the character on paper; however, he changed his opinion after seeing Godoy's performance of them. ^{[53] [54]} In an interview with The New York Times , Oda highlighted that the live-action show has more dialogue than the manga as the latter needs more space for illustrations. When asked if he was worried about the One Piece adaptation given that other similar adaptations have been unsuccessful, Oda said, "thankfully, Netflix agreed that they wouldn't go out with the show until I agreed it was satisfactory. I read the scripts, gave notes and acted as a guard dog to ensure the material was being adapted in the correct way". ^[56] Costume designer Diana Cilliers was directly influenced by Oda's Color Walk compendiums when creating the show's designs. She made small changes to the original designs to either "spice up scenes with variation" or adjust due to safety concerns when filming the live action. ^[57]

The adaptation made several structural changes with Oda's approval, such as focusing on Garp and revealing his connection to Luffy much earlier as well as moving Arlong's introduction up and swapping him with Don Krieg's storyline. ^{[52] [58] [59] [60]} Maeda commented that they wanted to make Arlong the season's "big bad" and by introducing him at the Baratie they were able to "ramp up towards the last two episodes". ^[58] He also stated that they wanted Garp as "a more present character" along with the immediate Marine pursuit of the Straw Hats crew "to keep the stakes up and let it feel like it wasn't just a fun adventure where we were meeting different antagonists and different villains and pirates, but there was an actual kind of organized presence and fearsome presence that was behind Luffy and pursuing". ^[52] Polygon highlighted that increased focus on the Marines means "Koby goes from being a side character to a supporting one immediately" and "changes the framing" of the Marines. ^[61] Polygon also commented on the changes to the characterization of Sanji – "the new version of Sanji no longer bothers women. It's not that Sanji isn't interested in women; he's just a lot more respectful about it". ^[62]

Music

Further information: One Piece (2023 soundtrack)

Sonya Belousova and Giona Ostinelli were hired to compose the score for the series. ^[89] Matt Patches of Polygon highlighted that "unlike most television composers who might be handed picture-locked episodes to pepper with bits of underscore, showrunners Matt Owens and Steven Maeda tasked Belousova and Ostinelli with composing a world's worth of sounds that could be in constant conversation depending on which eccentric characters or pirate-y locations were in play at any given moment". ^[90] The first single from the series' soundtrack, "Wealth Fame Power", was made available on music streaming platforms on August 18, 2023. ^[91] Belousova stated that as Luffy's theme, "Wealth Fame Power" connects him with Gold Roger's legacy. The song has "ascending motion" as Luffy is at the start of his journey so in Roger's scene, they reversed the theme to be in "descending motion" as Rogers is "about to be executed" – "we are ending one storyline, but we are immediately beginning another storyline". ^[92] The second single, "My Sails Are Set", featuring Norwegian singer Aurora, was released on August 25, 2023. ^{[93] [90]} The song "My Sails Are Set" externalizes Nami's journey and acts that "the culmination of an entire season's worth of musical ideas"; Belousova commented that "usually songs function as needle drops – it's very rare for songs to have actually any sort of musical connection to the rest of the score". ^[90]

The three-day event was held between June 16 and 18 and featured a One Piece-themed immersive experience, which displayed a life-size replica of the pirateship Going Merry at the Pavilhão Ciccillo Matarazzo, ^[95] located inside the park. ^[96] On June 29, 2023, a promotional website for the series was launched. Billed as the "Straw Hat Grand Fleet", the website features behind-the-scenes content as well as a section for creating custom wanted posters. ^[97] On July 21, 2023, Netflix released the official trailer and a personalized letter from Oda. ^[98]

Germany was also set to hold a fan event on the premiere day, albeit virtually.

Reception

Critical response

On the review aggregator website Rotten Tomatoes , 85% of 61 critics' reviews are positive, with an average rating of 7.7/10.The website's consensus reads: "One Piece captures the essence of its beloved source material with a charmingly big-hearted adaptation that should entertain longtime fans as well as patient newcomers." ^[103] It also received a 95% audience approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes based on over 10,000 reviews. ^{[104] [105]} Metacritic reported that One Piece holds a weighted average score of 67 out of 100, based on 22 critics, indicating "generally favorable reviews". ^[106]

Brian Truitt of USA Today gave the series 3 out of 4 stars, writing, "In this energetic cross between Pirates of the Caribbean and Scott Pilgrim , with a dash of Doctor Who -style camp, a young crew of buccaneers goes searching for lost treasure and helps people along the way in a bighearted, swashbuckling answer to Stranger Things ." ^[107] Lauren Milici of GamesRadar+ wrote that the series "breaks the live-action curse," adding that the directorial choices "make it more than clear that the show was created by fans, by people who genuinely wanted to see something they love brought to (a new) life." ^[108] Jesse Hassenger of The Guardian gave One Piece 3/5 stars and wrote that "the overall imagination of One Piece competes with this particular iteration's budget, which appears to be lavish but perhaps still not quite enough". ^[109] The Hollywood Reporter's Angie Han wrote, "By putting its faith in its characters' youthful joie de vivre , One Piece delivers enough fun to thrill the inner child in tweens and grown-ups alike." ^[110] Coleman Spilde of The Daily Beast felt the show "consistently surprises" although the "writing sometimes struggles to find a steady middle ground between the tweenage and adult demographics it's trying to appeal to". ^[111] Spilde stated that as a good adaptation, One Piece is "captivating even to viewers who know nothing about the source material". ^[111]

Kayleigh Dray, for The A.V. Club , viewed the show as an accessible adaptation with "major Saturday morning cartoons vibes". ^[112] Dray also highlighted the amount of source material lore packed in – "even a cursory glance makes it abundantly clear that a lot of love and care has gone into all of its lush world building". ^[112] Paste 's Elijah Gonzalez thought the adaptation made the "wise decision" to handle a small amount of the source material by sticking with "the 'East Blue' arc, which spans the first 100 chapters of the manga and around 60 episodes of the anime". ^[113] Gonzalez opined that this iteration "even occasionally feels more cohesive than the original" as it can introduce later aspects earlier "to create compelling overarching drama" and "aid certain backstories". ^[113] Angelica Jade Bastién of Vulture wrote that the show "proves its willingness to hold on to what makes the original property so fantastic". ^[114] Bastién also thought the changes in the adaptation, such as revealing the connection between Garp and Luffy much earlier, worked "damn well". ^[114] Charles Pulliam-Moore, for The Verge , stated that the production design was key to One Piece feeling "like a living, breathing place with history that you can step into" and highlighted that "Netflix constructed a number of massive, painstakingly-detailed sets perfect to transform into iconic places from Oda's world". ^[115] He felt that it is always "a bit of a gamble" when the show recreates "visuals from the anime"; however, "many of those gambles work out well". ^[115] In contrast, Mike Hale of The New York Times felt One Piece was a "bland and generic" adaptation as "most of the verve and personality of the anime are gone, replaced by busyness, elaborate but uninteresting production design and – a sign of the times – an increased piety regarding the story's themes of knowing and believing in yourself". ^[116]

Hassenger viewed "the actors' performance styles" as clashing with "some of the actors gleefully embody live-action cartoons, while others work in a mildly snarky YA register" – "multiple supporting characters goggle and mug like they're in a Terry Gilliam knockoff". ^[109] Robert Lloyd, for the Los Angeles Times , felt with Luffy that the show fails "critically if not quite fatally" as the "character comes across as little short of insane". ^[117] Lloyd commented that Luffy is "meant to be the spirit of the tale, but turns tiresome in human form, where he's surely supposed to be delightful" and viewed the other characters joining him as "arbitrary and improbable". ^[117] However, Bastién felt Godoy did "a tightrope walk of a role" as Luffy and observed that "there just aren't characters like him in white-colonial media – men whose kindness is essential to their being and for whom friendship is tantamount". ^[114] She opined that the "core cast works splendidly" but the supporting characters were more "lacking". ^[114] David Opie of Empire stated "Rudd embodies the heart of the show with an emotive take on Nami" and "Mackenyu nails Roronoa Zoro's stoicism just as well as his intricate swordplay". ^[118] Opie felt "no one shines as bright as Iñaki Godoy". ^[118] Spilde viewed Godoy, Rudd, and Mackenyu as having "stellar chemistry" but that "the frenetic energy of the show falters when it becomes too contracted, spending more time on friendship than fighting". ^[111] The show's choreographed fight sequences were praised by multiple critics. ^{[111] [112] [115]}

Viewership

One Piece topped the weekly global Netflix chart from August 28 to September 3, ranking among the top 10 in 93 countries and at number one in 46 countries, ^[119] with 140 million hours watched by 18.5 million viewers in its first week. ^[120] During its second week, viewership increasing to 145.7 million hours watched by 19.3 million viewers. ^{[121] [122]} It thus amassed 285.7 million hours watched by 37.8 million viewers in less than two weeks of its release. ^{[123] [124]} Nielsen reported that on the "streaming charts for the week of August 28 to September 3", One Piece was #1 in the "originals" category and #2 overall "with 1.3B minutes viewed" ^[125] which "equates to 21.85 million hours of viewing in the U.S.". ^[126] The Hollywood Reporter highlighted that Nielsen and Netflix calculate viewing time with different methods so Nielsen's report is "a little under 16 percent of the worldwide total Netflix reported in its own top 10 rankings" in the same period. ^[126] Variety commented that, per Nielsen, One Piece "brought in a more diverse audience than its competitors, with a 25% Hispanic and 19% African American audience". ^[127]

Netflix co-CEO Greg Peters stated that the show's debut met "a very high bar" and that, despite "haters looking for a reason to hate you" for it, to "be able to deliver it and have it be massively popular and a success around the world is amazing to see". ^[128] It was the second new Netflix show in 2023 to debut with more than 100 million hours viewed in its first week, following The Night Agent in March. ^[129] Deadline Hollywood , however, noted its debut viewership fell short of Wednesday and Queen Charlotte , which drew roughly 43 million and 24 million views, respectively, in their first weeks. ^[119] On TikTok, the #OnePieceNetflix hashtag drew over 4 billion search impressions during the show's first two weeks. ^[122]

The series ended the year as the most-watched Netflix show (among individual series seasons) during the second half of 2023, with 541.9 million hours watched by 71.6 million viewers in four months. ^{[6] [130]} In addition, it helped increase viewership for the One Piece anime, which topped the Netflix anime charts with 479 million hours watched during the second half of 2023, more than double the first half of the year. ^[131]

Awards and accolades

In the 76th Writers Guild of America Awards, One Piece won the category for Television: Children's Episodic, Long Form and Specials with "Romance Dawn". ^[132]
