The original anime, the live action netflix show, and the new anime adaptation. All running at the same time? Surely that's wrong.

The West is transitioning to a One Piece based economy.

Don't forget about lego one piece. luffy-zoned-out

The toei anime is a garbage capitalist rent-seeking adaptation whose pacing issues, over the top fan service, poor animation and censorship makes it unbearable to watch. It's gotten to a point where the anime episodes will catch up to the manga chapters.

The live action is a spin-off series that is diverging more and more from the source material and trying to be its own thing and the new anime remake has only a few character sheets and concept art.

So it's really not that bad.

I actually think the live action is my favourite adaptation. It has zero filler, it's much more international with varied nationalities and skin colours, it doesn't have the stupid misogyny, it just feels way more up to date.

Live action Sanji is just chefs-kiss he's actually charming and corny at the same time without coming off like his name can be Ctrl-F'd in the Epstein files.

A lot of plot beats are skipped over but the ability to just enjoy one piece without having to have your problematic blinders up makes up for it (and they actually show people being killed!)
