The series sets sail on August 31.
The Big Picture There's less than a week to go before audiences can set sail with Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat crew in Netflix's live-action One Piece adaptation. The anticipation for a new take on a beloved manga and anime series is only growing, and no one shares that hype more than creator of One Piece himself, Eiichiro Oda.
"Believe it or not, that world actually exists...It's ready!!", the letter begins, as Oda goes on to express his excitement for the world to finally watch the live-action series that has had so much love and care poured into it, with Oda himself being closely involved throughout the process.
What Is One Piece About? Based on Oda's long-running Manga of the same name — which eventually gave rise to the also still-running anime series — One Piece will follow the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy as he sets out to become King of the Pirates and find the legendary One Piece treasure. Also along for the ride are his loyal crew of Straw Hat pirates — Roronoa Zoro , Nami , Usopp and Sanji .
Rounding out the cast of the cinematic live-action adaptation are Peter Gadiot, Morgan Davies, Ilia Isorelýs Paulino, Aidan Scott, Langley Kirkwood, Jeff Ward, Celeste Loots, Alexander Maniatis, Craig Fairbrass, Steven Ward, McKinley Belcher III, Chioma Umeala, Vincent Regan, Bianca Oosthuizen, Chanté Grainger, and Grant Ross.
In an exciting bit of news for fans of the original anime, it was announced earlier that the original Japanese voice cast will also be reprising their roles in the Japanese-language dub of the live-action series, announced in a sweet video which showed Godoy meeting original Luffy actor Mayumi Tanaka.
