This sounds like another Avatar: TLA in the making.
Is the guy in charge of this a "fan"?

That was half assed by Oda. Oda basically said "bro if I have to, this is what fits their image (without any strong reason why he came up it)."
This is what he said a while back.

I wouldn't even trust a hardcore fan on this.
This is almost an impossible task.

I love One Piece.
I enjoyed Prison Break.
This is a bad idea. One Piece is probably the hardest of the Shonen Jump Big 3 at adapt to live-action. I don't see it happening with this.

The first season will show us Roo-Hee recruiting the likes of Lolonoa Zolo, Nay-mai, You-soapo, and 3 o'clock Vinesauce.

well this going to be interesting LMAO .
Twist: he uses the new money to hire a bunch of staff to finish the manga
Zoro's only going to have one sword, but you'll get this scene:
*cut to Zoro mid fight, confronted by three swordsmen. He cuts down one opponent and takes their sword to fight another opponent, one sword in each hand. After the secomd swordsman is defeated, his sword falls to the ground*
*shot of Zoro noticing the third sword*
*camera pans down to zoro's mouth... but he just smirks*
Zoro, looking at the camera: "Now that would be ridiculous!"

Oda already has assistants, I'm not sure what else he would need?
One Piece character designs are way to over the top for Live-action TV. I mean just watch the damn current season. That is fucking Wonderland what´s happening right now. The whole thing would just be one big CGI session as Live-Action series lol
Manga and animes strongest selling point are their visuals and you can´t recreate them easily for Live Action. People need to understand this already especially in the west.

I am 100% sure fans would shut the TV off if that actually happened.
There's nothing embarrassing with that show. It's possible for it to be watchable and good. This is a whole other level.
If he is, man I just can't condone the Sambo lip drawing thing
Them casting all white actors including Zoro is one thing, but wow Japanese artists drawing black people like Belgians

Took me forever to find this. This is from an episode in a Japanese tv series (Yonimo Kimyouna Monogtari) where Luffy made a guest appearance and the MC ate the Gum-Gum Fruit.
The closest Luffy and his powers have ever gotten to being replicated in a live-action serial.

I'm not sure why someone thinks he would want to walk away from one piece and let someone else finish it.
the man lives and breaths one piece mean his manga only really takes breaks because shonen jump doesn't want him to fall over dead.

he also plans to retire from manga when he finishes one piece so yeah.
Represent.
Represent(ative) of bad opinions
Lol....
Hope this turns out great and is financially successful.
Just so I can get a live action DragonBall film again, im willing to give hollywood another chance with that after seeing the fight scenes in MOS lol.

Not as racially insensitive as casting every person in every western anime adaptation as white.

Nobody wants a shitty product
Just as I thought. This is never happening. The producer is an otaku that is happy to have the rights to these products, but I doubt will ever get funding/airing slot for these products.

Not interested. Part of the charm of One Piece, Oda's artwork in particular, are the facial expressions of the characters. That, the way the powers work, the actual locales and settings, they just can't translate into Live-Action.
That doesn't even look bad in this clip.
The problem is that i don't see it working for action scenes
New Netflix Death Note actually looks good though...
Fixed
Principate
Saint Titanfall
No it's not the main duo are teenagers. When was the last time you watched the anime/read the manga.
ehhhhh
ryuk is pretty solid.
he should use the death note on light and get a new main character. not a fan of light in the live action at all.

I mean, right off the bat, I bet they rename "Devil Fruits" to, like... Hmm...
"Demon Fruits" would probably piss off a lot of people, too...

No, according to Oda the crew really doesn't have nationalities (it being a fantasy world etc.) but when asked he whipped something up for one of the FAQs in the manga and according to that only Zoro is japanese (or the one piece world's equivalent) and that's the closest we come to actual canon. Going by Oda's information the majority of the cast is atually white.
The characters could really be any ethnicity (yes, also asian obviously) but Oda didn't intend for them to be specifically asian or the world to be asian unlike Avatar the last airbender for example, so please don't start a whitewashing controversy five minutes after the announcement.
Hisoka is actually one of the protagonists. '-'

Why?
They live in an entirely different universe where they're all as nondescript as possible. There's an argument that they should maybe cast Japanese people, but then the series would just be in Japanese. Just cast whoever is best for each position. It's not like it's going to be good in the end anyway.
