One Piece - Season 2 Trailer

Nice trailer. They showed almost all the new characters except for the One Piece Chocobo with the barrel around it's neck. Will he be left out?
 
Where the fuck is Bon Clay sama ?

Even on the screen, where Miss All Sunday talked to them on the ship, Karoo wasn't there.

They showed so much stuff but no Karoo. I'm thinking Karoo will be teased for Alabasta.
 
I finished the first season a couple days ago and started season 2 last night. This show is so good. Anyone watching?

So many interesting and memorable characters, insane production values, a lot of heart, good fights, it feels like I'm on a big adventure every time I turn it on. Gonna knock out a few more eps this weekend.

TBH, when I heard they were making this in to a live action series, I thought there was no way it was gonna be good.

Once season 1 came out and reviews were actually good, I gave it a shot and loved it. Probably one of the my favorite series on netflix.

Season 2 so far has been great.
 
Season 2 has been great. I didn't hear it was coming out until a friend told me. Weird how it seems to be passing unnoticed.

Nami talking about the weather is one of this season's highlights.

Another one for me was the scene with the world government.

Me "...that's a vampire... and its obvious hes a fuckin vampire.... and everyone is cool with that.. ok.. hang on is that uncle Sam?... LOOK AT THAT SOMBRERO! HOLY SHIT SOMEONES GETTING CANCELLED"

I can't believe how good this is. Finished the first 6 episodes of season 2, got 2 more to go that I have to wait to finish with mrs esquie tomorrow night because she wanted to cuck out and watch the Oscars. But yeah it's so good… the Little Garden episodes were amazing. Felt like I was transported to a wonderful epic adventure. So bright and colorful and beautiful. So many memorable characters, loved the candle wax guy played by David Dastmalchian. Neither of us knew anything about One Piece before this show, like not even a basic synopsis. It can be a little corny and goofy but that's part of the charm.

I'm concerned about one thing tho — the viewership. Yesterday I saw it was #3 behind a couple of reality shows like Love is Blind. Today it's #2 behind Virgin River. Wtf… season 1 was "#1 in 84 countries" so I'm hoping it's still killing it overseas. Maybe it'll pick up here too. It says season 1 released August 31, 2023… maybe they should've saved it for then instead of a random March release. Good news is that season 3 is already in production.

Reality TV Shows are titans compared to traditional media. It's why, after Discovery merged wit WB, they started closing up shop on smaller projects (especially the HBO Max originals) and let their reality TV bring in the money instead.

Making number 3 behind those two shows is a good thing.
 
I love how the actors are just fully leaning into the anime style and appear to be having a blast with it, there's a fine line between it being good or cringe but for me One Piece it just works so we'll with the material.

Only complaint I have is that the action and fights could be cut a bit better, faster, I'm not getting the right speed feeling for some of them and it's really an editing issue.
 
Season 2 has great but I'm not a fan of what they're doing with luffy. Doesn't come off as being the strongest in the crew and he just stands there and punches.

Don't like who's playing him either but I guess it's a particularly hard character to embody.

Yeah, luffy doesn't really pop off until crocodile, which is next season; and then he really pops off at enies lobby; really hope they can do those moments justice

My son has read a decent chunk of the manga and burned through all 1300 or whatever eps of the anime, but for some reason won't watch the live action. So there is some sort of disconnect there. Then again, I find live action versions of well done anime to be generally atrocious as well (GitS, Cowboy Bepop, Gantz). The only ones that I seem to enjoy (Alice in Borderlands for example) are ones were I am more ignorant of the source.

Finished the 2nd season, as much fun as the first but these 8 episodes seasons are far too short, it feels like when they shoot 1 season and split it into 2 parts.
 
Just watched the first two new episodes back-to-back. Absolutely loving it, especially visually

My megalophobia got triggered a couple of times lol

I enjoyed the season, albeit less than the first. The big issue for me is that the conclusion didn't feel like much of an endpoint to the season, not really having much by way of narrative build-up to it: the only reason they ended up on Drum Kingdom was because Nami fell ill, in other words just another scenario only loosely connected to the ones which came before. My assumption had been that the climax would involve getting Princess Vivi back to claim the throne of Alabaster and a showdown with Baroque Works, specifically Mrs. All-Sunday. Instead, neither of those plot threads went anywhere, Baroque Works never came across as the massive threat they were said to be because every episode saw another one or two of their agents dispatched fairly promptly (the nerdy guy on Cactus Island was so pathetic that the fact he was one of their agents made them look weak very early on). I suspect this is a problem with having to cram all the fan-favourite scenarios from the anime (which I've never seen) into a very limited number of episodes, but while I enjoyed each scenario individually, as a whole I felt a bit of 'is that it?' when it ended. The first season had the clear endpoints of assembling the crew and heading for the Grand Line, both of which were accomplished, the second season, for its many pleasures, didn't have that same sense of progression and conclusion for me. Nami looked scrumptious in her bikini though, and Ms All-Sunday's rather delightful (her powers certainly give rise to the imagination, wink wink).

I also didn't see the anime/manga but some good news about what you mentioned… I read a post about how season 3 is gonna be all Alabasta. They said it's the first big famous One Piece arc and that the whole season would be Alabasta instead of traveling around. Can one of the anime weebs here confirm if that's true? No further spoilers please

Apologies for the spoilers, I've hidden my comment (maybe you can do the same with my quote).
 
Two episodes in, I don't know if it's just cause I wrapped up a good show, Preacher. But this second season has been a bit boring so far.

Plenty of time for things to turn around though.

Have you ever watched the OP anime - because I felt a bit of this too, but then I remembered the "source" material, and it's 100x worse than this. Sometimes a single fight can last 4-5 episodes in the anime (to be followed by another fight that takes 4-5 episodes, and then another fight after that, meanwhile the main event just keeps getting put off more and more) and the weaker arcs can really REALLY test one's patience.

Add to that this baroque works arc is one of the worst ones in all of One Piece by some/many, and well it just feels like a step back from Season 1 in some ways when the characters felt like in a more epic setting.

Just to compare the openings - in S1 you get the actual execution of the Gold Roger, and S2 they just show dialog in the prison before that. Definitely feels a lot less impactful to have a flashback of just dialog. I think that feeling is repeated many times over throughout the first two episodes if you compare them, as in S1 we had awesome new characters and set pieces and S2 feels a lot less impactful to me so far.

Yeah, I haven't seen the anime before so you're probably right. I'll keep watching as the quality is good.
