Honestly I'm pretty happy with the live action adaptation. My biggest gripe with one piece is the pacing. It ruins so many good moments and storylines because getting to them and through them takes so long. The Netflix adaptation addresses this biggest issue for me by tightening the pacing. There's no doubt that in doing so some of the original content gets cut and some of the moments in the anime carry much more weight. But I would 100% rather watch the adaptation because I just hate the pacing of the anime. The issue persists in the manga too. It's a great story held back by sluggish and sloppy pacing. I've heard there's another anime being made and I hope that one has the sense to spend more time on the quality of the story telling rather than the quantity of it.
