Is Netflix's One Piece good? (links.dartboard.social)

Just wondering what people who have watched Netflix's new One Piece series think.

They don't have the greatest track record with anime adaptions so I'm afraid to watch it. I thought Cowboy Bebop was alright. Although they kind of butchered Vicious and Julia, imo, the people who played Spike and Jet did well enough that it was able to sustain my interest for awhile but not long enough to finish it. Death Note was barely like the original at all. The only good thing I can say was Lakeith Stanfield's L portrayal and Willem Dafoe's Ryuk.

But this series seems to be trending, so maybe they've finally done it?

I've never been able to read the manga or watch the anime for various reasons not depending on the content.

I was captivated by the trailers and watched it very quickly. I found it very enjoyable and can't wait for a possible second series.

Not knowing the source material, I'm not sure if what I'm about to say is trivial, anyhow, I really loved how simplistic (in a good way) it is. The characters are finding out more about themselves and the protagonist wants everyone to achieve their dreams.

Everyone appears somehow one-sided and only bent on realizing their goal, but the actors give life to believable fantastic characters and you follow the fairy tale happily.

I'm not sure if I conveyed how I saw it, but I really liked it!

Netflix's Cowboy Bebop and Death Note are hard to watch, in comparison
