Huge project in progress with Netflix and Tomorrow Studios

How many years has it been since the production was announced? It’s true.
But it’s progressing steadily!
It’s not easy because you’re forming a team with people from different cultures!
But there must be something that is born just because of that!!
For now, we can announce the main cast!
If you don’t announce it quickly, it will be leaked! funny lol
Face, size of mouth, size of hand, atmosphere, behavior, voice quality, acting ability, height, balance between friends, etc…!
After many discussions with staff from all over the world, we have decided!
They are the ones who can become the Straw Hat Pirates!!
It will still take some time to complete, but I will do my best to send out works that people all over the world can enjoy without hesitation!
Stay tuned for more news!!

What is the reaction of SNS?

In response to this announcement, related words such as “Straw Hat Pirates”, “Usopp”, and “Mackenyu” are trending one after another on Twitter!

 

On SNS, reactions such as “I can’t hide my surprise at how perfect it is,” “Usopp is more than Usopp expected!,” and “Usopp looks 100 points” have been received.

 

In addition, there are opinions such as, “If you do the make-up and hairstyle (hair color) properly, it might be a work that you can see quite well.”

 

Some people expected that the original author was involved, saying, “If Odacchi is involved, I think we can make something good!”

 

On the other hand, it seems that some people are against the live-action adaptation because they like the original too much, saying, “I like manga and anime and I’m watching it, so it’s painful…” and “I have a bad feeling about it.”
