If you go in with no expectations you wont get disappointed lol that’s how i feel about it. One piece fans were eating good yesterday, the Japanese voice actors did a presentation yesterday and kicked off one piece day on the YouTube channel yesterday.

I get it, but Luffy's smaller than all his enemies, except Foxy. They'd need to budget good cgi for every single villain, and that is just not profitable.

Understandable, but Inaki who plays Luffy is only 5’6.” They could have cast someone 6ft plus and it would have totally worked. The makeup is fine imo, it’s the lack of height difference between Luffy and Arlong that throws me off.

I definitely have to agree with you. I’m just trying to keep a positive attitude. But Inaki who plays Luffy is only 5’6.” The man is short and in the trailer Arlong only looks like an inch taller than him… they couldn’t get a 6ft plus actor to play him? I think the makeup is okay for the fishman, but they have him looking so short for the imposing physical presence that Arlong is… getting a taller actor isn’t a matter of practicality or money, that’s just bad casting. This guy better be a really good actor. That’s all I’m saying.
As for Shanks, I feel like we need to see more of him. Cause Shanks is definitely a mood more than a look. And why does Sanji have a British accent??? It doesn’t suit his character, but I could be proven wrong and I hope I am. Im just really bothered by Arlong’s height. Otherwise, I feel like this could be really good. They haven’t announced three specific characters that I hope they didn’t cut from the story and that’s Jango, Gin, and Hatchi. Especially, the last two since they really do impact the arc they are in and Hatchi later down the line in the series. Im worried though cause from the trailer it looks like Arlong is showing up at the Baratie??? And I could see them cutting out Gin which sucks cause the relationship between Gin and Sanji is really a driving force in the Baratie arc and leads directly into the conflict with Don Krieg…

You’re right, but there’s something so disheveled about this version that makes his face look so much older.

I'm going to watch in English first to give my reaction. I will probably watch it back in Japanese just to compare though.

Kurobi is 252 cm (8'3"), Arlong 263 cm (8'7″), and the heights will keep getting bigger, they had to compromise. But if they do make giants, and I hope they do, they will be tall.

Totally agree, the sickness making him look rough and torn down helps a lot in my opinion.

Considering that we later learned that Roger was dying from his illness at the end of his life, him looking sickly at the execution makes sense.

Great reaction! This Roger definitely gives Willy Wonka energy, but I'm glad that they're actually showing his death scene in the show. The fishmen could've been played by taller actors, I agree with you on that. OR they could've made it so the camera work made them look bigger in certain angles. I just know that the CG budget would've been too much if they went that route. Shanks looks like a recently divorced father of 6, they could've found someone younger to play him to show off Shanks' youthful energy, but he has to look Buggy's age so they chose an older actor, unfortunately. Speaking of which, LOVED Buggy, I hope the actor plays the role well. It's also possible they went with a Coby that was the same height as Luffy because they want to use the actor during his training arc with Garp. Overall, I think the trailer shows that it can mirror the story's charm, I'm looking forward to this, but I'm not holding my breath...it's only 8 episodes (i think).
