Wasn't HBO or Netflix going to do a series? That would be great to watch and would easily translate to motion picture.

Good joke, Usopp's one of the best characters.

This man:
wasn't even designed to work while moving. How the FUCK do you even adapt him, let alone anything else?!?!!?

Thats exactly what I'm picturing, lol.
Now that I got this is on the brain, can AMC or HBO pick up HxH? I'd watch that.
Edit: Oh Lord, how did I not think about live action Zoro . . . I gotta see this.
They would need the Black Sails budget times like 10, if not more just to pull off the different Devil Fruit powers. Imagine if everyone was a fucking Dragon from Game of Thrones in terms of how much they would need to do for SFX.
No lies detected....
Forget that, like the other poster said, how does Zoro even work?

Man.
I always felt like Dragon Ball and One Piece were two manga that you just can't do in live action. They're too fucking weird.
You can't translate the designs to live action. You can't translate the attacks to live action. Just leave it alone.
ah well. this will probably suck, but I'll check it out.

Same if there able to pull it off kudos, if it's bad imagine it will be so good bad.

Exactly. The powers and abilities folks pull off in One Piece is absurd in a good way. And let's not get on the topic of the different species in the manga either, like the fishmen.
It died a long time ago. Del Toro was pushing it and I had some people I knew at HBO that were trying to get it off the ground. Didn't get very far from what I heard.

Don't forget that filming on water is like one of the most expensive things possible, which is why the Pirates of the Caribbean movies are so expensive.

It never did cuz that's possible to do on a Netflix budget. One Piece is a beast that requires more than that.
We might have the technology for them to do it just fine by the time we get to that point of the story in 2030.

Maybe I could finally like One Piece since I wouldn't have to look at Oda's ugly art,
Before anyone asks:
Well drawn, yes. Pleasing art style, hell no.

Our boy is gonna be a Jim Henson puppet.They gonna do Chopper like they did Luna in the Sailor Moon live action
I can picture it now.
A cast of overly-attractive college people attend a sea voyage over the summer break, only to come upon a treasure chest that's been submerged in the deepest recesses of the ocean. Upon opening they're instantly cursed, and the only cure for it being the legendary treasure called "One Piece". Thus beings their voyage across the seas, but beware, some uncharted areas weren't meant to be explored...

Two cannibals are eating a clown. One turns to the other and says "does something taste funny to you?"
That's a different problem.

Never watched the show, but looking at the characters and reading the posts in here it seems like the type of show that you could make incredibly diverse and inclusive including Asian American actors.
If you didn't like it in the manga/anime, why the hell would you like it in live-action
hmmm how will chapter 1 look in live action...
awful looking cgi water
awful looking cgi sea monster
awful looking cgi stretchy limbs
off to a good start
don't forget the luffy x sanji x nami love triangle!

As long as Zoro is Asian it's all good.
Is this even going to be a straight adaptation or an "adaptation" where its just a show about quirky pirates searching for a legendary treasure that just shares some of the DNA of the manga/anime? I don't think they can pull off anything close to a direct translation of the original material and will do something very loose and sort of like One Piece.
Cast Blackleg as Sanji

It's really not.
I could easily see someone just thinking to themselves "So yea, never bothering with the source material then" after watching this mess lol

Depends how 1:1 they translate the manga. I've liked what I've read story wise, but lord that art.
If they can get Antonio Banderas to play him then a pass is allowed

And yet, they'll probably still find a way to disappoint us all on this front.
Not just Law
All the Logia users would be a hassle
Whitebeard and his "air-quakes"
All the Fishmen
Big people. Not giants, just really big humans.
The world is too insane to properly do in live-action
What they should do is a new animated series from Disney or Frederator or Dreamworks (at least the Voltron team).
