The much anticipated live-action series adaptation of popular manga/anime series “One Piece” will hit Netflix this year! After a pretty mixed reception for the “Cowboy Bebop” series, fans are nervous, to say the least. (We actually didn’t hate “Bebop,” and were very disappointed when Netflix cancelled it after just one season.)
“One Piece” creator Eiichiro Oda has promised Netflix’s show will be “faithful to the fans who have supported One Piece for 20 years,” so hopefully that helps some.
We do know who will star in the series.
