I haven’t seen it yet (planning to start binging tonight), but I’m stoked at all the positive reviews online.
My wife and I are currently binging the anime series because she’s never seen it before and she wanted to have a sense of the show before diving into a live action adaptation.
We’re watching it in Japanese though. I lived in Japan for a few years, so watching anime in English is just weird to me. It loses some of the cultural context when it gets translated. I hope the English live action show isn’t too jarring compared to the original Japanese anime.
EDIT: I went to a convention cosplaying as Luffy a few years ago and I ran into Colleen Clinkenbeard. She was excited to see my outfit and I got a bunch of pictures with her, but I had no idea who she was. Found out later she was the English voice of Luffy. I’ve never seen One Piece in English, so I didn’t recognize her at all.

The netflix Japanese dub of the show is being done by the anime voice actors so you can do that if the default english doesnt work for you
