The live-action remake of One Piece is releasing subsequent week, after what’s been a reasonably constant stream of trailers and previews for the present. Past adapting one of many hottest shonen tales out proper now, an enormous draw for the remake is that it’s bringing within the anime’s Japanese forged to do the Japanese dub for the brand new present. Whereas anime voice actors reprise their roles for all types of expanded media like video video games or films, it’s one other factor to be doing that for a live-action adaptation.
Netflix has taken time in latest weeks to focus on the live-action Straw Hats, performed by Iñaki Godoy (Luffy), Taz Skylar (Sanji), Jacob Romero Gibson (Usopp), Emily Rudd (Nami), and Zoro (Mackenyu Maeda). However for these questioning what One Piece’s Japanese dub will likely be like, the streamer released a model of its Comedian-Con trailer with the anime forged—Mayumi Tanaka (Luffy), Nami (Akemi Okamura, Zoro (Kazuya Nakai), Usopp (Kappei Yamaguchi), and Sanji (Hiroaki Hirata)—talking over their human counterparts. Not one of the footage within the trailer is new, nevertheless it’s a enjoyable (and in addition type of surreal) little bit of fan service which will improve the present for longtime followers of the franchise. If the present will get future seasons, hopefully the opposite Straw Hats get dubbed by their Japanese actors to finish your complete set.
Together with the trailer above, Netflix launched one other missive from One Piece creator Eiichiro Oda. With the present so near launch, Oda’s pleasure is palpable as he writes, “Onto the Nice Pirate Period! Because it’s Netflix, you may watch it in your family or in your smartphone. However it may as nicely be a film, so you need to watch it on as huge a sceen as doable, with the amount cranked up, and luxuriate in it as many occasions as you’d like!!”
