"One Piece," based on a manga and anime, was Netflix's biggest show in the second half of 2023. Don't be surprised if the rest of Hollywood takes notice.
I haven’t read any manga or anime and don’t know much about the conventions or history, but I did enjoy One Piece. But I think it’s because it was just so much fun, and much of the fun was due to the lead’s performance. So I wonder if its success has less to do with its source and more with someone figuring out how to do live-action anime that’s also accessible to the uninitiated.

I agree! That’s certainly been to the key to adapting American comics too
