Netflix's live action adaptation of the ultra popular pirate manga dropped on Aug 31!

It's 8 episodes long covering the East Blue arc, with each being about an hour.

Have you watched it yet? What did you like or dislike?

Watched the first episode.

I'm not tripping, it's actually really good, right? Like some demented fusion of Pirates of the Caribbean and tokusatsu live-action (like Karmen Rider or something). The cast and the sets make everything really charming and fun, and Inoki's take on Luffy is really carrying the show. That said, I haven't watched the original to compare.

Also, since this is relevant:

Yeah it's shockingly good! I'm only on episode four, but the main cast has been consistently great. Buggy and Usopp's actors were really surprising too!

I watched ep 2.

Omg it's so campy I love it
