The style is quite unique so that could be the reason it seemed that way but some of the fighting scenes seemed…
By intense, I was referring to blood. It could get really ugly with Zoro's sword but they refrained from picturing blood shed. Although I only saw up to episode 5 at the time I wrote this comment.
Fantasy-comedy it is ... I really have trouble picturing a wanted poster as a dream ... it is a comedic irony here...just because marines and pirates are not friends they put a bounty on each other ( well technically only marins). It's like being a revolutionist. It's like being pary of Ironman's team ir captain America 's team in civil ear ... yeah š
I never watched the anime version but I enjoyed the series. The colors made it more attractive for me and I liked it did not have intense fighting scenes
