Two more eps in and still enjoying it. It’s the first anime to live action that has worked (unless you consider Rebels anime - I don’t - but the Rebels > Ashoka thing just can’t be denied.) something about the way this show is contracted allows me to just accept the craziness of this world without questioning. Maybe it’s that anime attitude which is captured well here.
Note that Zoro (the character that carries 3 katanas and makes that work) is played by Makenyu, the real life karate practitioner and son of Sonny Chiba. I luv his character.
As the crew encounters pirate captains, there’s this moment when their wanted poster is shown. It’s a funny motif. There are many pirate adversaries.
E2 is the clown pirate Buggy. He’s like the Joker but anime for this. Then there’s a pirate Capt that’s part saw-toothed nose. Both villains have weird noses. Maybe that’s a thing with this show.
I should watch some eps of the original anime.
