What is ‘One Piece’?
One Piece is a Japanese media franchise that started as a manga by Eiichiro Oda in 1997 and received an anime adaptation in 1999, which is still being produced to this day. The franchise is about a group of pirates who are searching for the One Piece, a pile of treasure that was owned by Pirate King, Gol D. Roger. As of writing, One Piece is currently in its 21st season. CBR reported that Oda confirmed the manga’s eventual end and that the final chapter is scheduled to come out sometime between 2024 and 2025.
In 2023, Netflix released the One Piece live-action adaptation, starring Iñaki Godoy, Emily Rudd, Mackenyu, Jacob Romero, and Taz Skylar. Oda was one of the executive producers for this live-action and ensured that the Netflix adaptation kept the spirit of the original manga. This adaptation broke Netflix’s record of producing terrible live-action adaptations of popular anime and was highly praised by fans and critics. On September 2023, it was announced that One Piece would receive a second season, with Percy Jackson and the Olympians‘ executive producer, Joe Tracz, listed as the show’s newest showrunner.
One Piece is available to stream on Crunchyroll and Hulu. Meanwhile, all season 1 episodes for the live-action adaptation are out on Netflix.
