One Piece creator says this movie made him believe live-action was possible NetflixOne Piece live-action is a global sensation currently, but it may not have been possible if the creator, Eiichiro Oda, wasn\u2019t convinced because of this classic movie. One Piece live-action has received more positive reviews than any other adaptation in history. The series started streaming on Netflix on 31 August and quickly became a global sensation. It\u2019s currently the top show in 84 countries. The production took seven years, and One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda has been an integral part of the series since then. As the executive director of One Piece live-action, he ensured that the series stayed faithful to the original story. Oda has always been sceptical about his masterpiece getting a live-action adaptation. Judging by the bad history of anime adaptations, we can\u2019t really blame him for hesitating. However, it\u2019s all thanks to Stephen Chow\u2019s classic movie that encouraged Oda to take the risk. Stephen Chow\u2019s sports comedy encouraged One Piece creator to agree with the live-action During an interview, the One Piece creator shares, \u201cFor many years, I have received different offers to adapt One Piece into a live-action, and I have rejected them all. First of all, I think that manga works are not intended to be adapted to the cinema. It is not easy to bring them to a real image. But visual effects and production standards started advancing to a point where I saw movies being made that convinced me that with today\u2019s technology. It\u2019s possible, so I changed my mind and started thinking about finding the right partner with the one to work.\u201d Netflix\u2019s One Piece meets his expectations as the series becomes a global sensation. In an interview with The New York Times, Eiichiro Oda shares that Stephen Chow\u2019s 2001 classic \u201cShaolin Soccer,\u201d a sports comedy, made him believe that a live-action manga adaptation is possible if done right. Shaolin Soccer is a timeless classic based on a popular Japanese Manga series called Captain Tsubasa. So, it goes without saying that the martial arts in the film will be similar to anime\/manga and highly augmented by visual effects. They comprise CGI and physics-defying action.
