It seems like just yesterday when the cast was announced. And when the teaser got out... my, all the complaints XD so I am really happy for Oda and the staff and the cast that they proved skeptical fans otherwise. Now all the skeptical fans are very proud of this LA, as they should!

Visually speaking, it is an excellent adaptation, beyond my expectations. The cast is spot on, the setting and costumes are just like straight out of a manga/anime, and what it is the most important, they don't look like cosplay nor props. Even characters are Nezumi and Arlong don't look out of place at all. Strictly speaking, I am not a fan of Sanji nor Nami but they were my favorites in this LA... I love that they toned down the aggressiveness of Nami and the pervert-ness of Sanji. Instead, she is just tough and he is a smooth flirt. Can't wait to see the rest of the crew!

I understand they had to cut many stuff and rush things up, so I have no complaints there. Everything went smoothly anyway. Maybe there were too many scenes of Garp and Koby, but the actors were so good I didn't mind too much (specially Koby, like WOW, he looked and behaved just like anime-Koby)

I loove that we have so many accents and not just American accent. There are actors from South Africa, Australia, UK, Mexico, Spain... Sanji and Luffy saying "Nami" with such a Latin accent, I love it <3

My complaint would be the script though. Like there are many lines that are straight "Marvel"-like; as in, a bit cheesy, funny lines are a bit cheap, other lines are a bit fan-service-ish.... specially those from Luffy.
