One Piece Episode 1

Great start!

i finished it <3
but i think I will just summarize my thoughts on each ep XD with spoilers XD for now XD because this is my absolute fav story of all time XD honestly i have not seen/read/heard a single story better than one piece and lord of the rings XD
ep1! amazing! :3
with SPOILERS, be warned.
honestly they have done such a great job with costumes, with sets, the towns omg! they look perfect! Easter eggs! omg XD the Easter eggs were something else! first of all loguetown! with dragon's green cloak, with little smoker and other youngsters, idk why that woman is similar to crocodile, hopefully not XD
Marine costumes! wow! amazing! luffy's barrel logo! omg i can't! the news amazing! binks no sake playing in the background of luffy backstory had me shout with joy. luffy mentioning grabbing onto a giant bird XD maan i loved that! even if they can't do that, they at least mention it XD i love all the drinks logos being from real one piece world! <3 <3 <3
I LOVE the bounties being shown, i LOVE the map at the start, and i LOVE the openings with jolly rogers. (i think i will mention this on each ep!)
the characters great! I'm a bit reserved how much they mention chasing dreams, i mean yeah they do talk about it in the manga, but then it is more subtle, here it's in the face. and speaking of in the face the camera angles! omg XD lol why did they make so many tight shots XD it's like reducing this whole big world into something small XD and like they built all these sets, and now they show them to us only on rare wide shots of background and the rest is super tight shots XD anyway XD i got used to this by the end so it wasn't as bad near the last eps XD
I LOVE that they are not inserting west's favorite diversity and feminism where it is not the place. one piece is already full of great girls and great character of other races or orientations i hope they continue like this and don't go with their modern political agendas. plus this is a story about humans and not about genders or races so i'm very happy they don't do it.
koby is so gooood! i love him! <3 Alvida omg she is fantastic!! the lady playing her is even more fantastic! <3 Helmeppo is also great apart from the extremely unnecessary nude scene. XD like why? they are complaining about time restrictions and that is like the main issue why they didn't include many story points, but like this part could be easily cut off and instead focus more on zoro and luffy.
zoro and nami are a bit too serious. this edgy i'm trying to be cool people. at least knowing nami's backstory it can be justified for now, but not zoro. and still nami's obsession with money, i hope it was mentioned but it seems to be omitted.
Buggy is GREAT! <3 honestly Buggy is the best!! i'm just so excited for him! he is this ominious and scary at first then ridiculous then just pure comedy I LOVE IT! the actor playing him is genius! he got the character absolutely right! <3
the only issue i might have apart from the butt scene is the riceballs scene. I wish they made it more justified. Like why the girl brings zoro riceballs, right now it's a bit creepy. he walks in and she suddenly brings him riceballs, smiling. then somehow people call it saving here, where helmepppo wasn't kinda killing her, he was about to move on after scolding her. and zoro picks up a fight. and later they call it saving the girl. I wish they justified a bit, either she met zoro before and is giving him the rice balls as a thankyou, or delivers them to someone else, or zoro actually orders them. then i wish helmeppo tried to kill her. that way it would have been that he saves her. here he doesn't save her, which doesn't exactly show his good nature as well as in the manga.
apart from these minor things the first episode was great <3 I'm so so happy <3 ikuzoooooo!
