User blog:Gourd Roger/One Piece: Tokusatsu, Anybody?

Hey, guys! I have been back with another blog post in a while, after around half a year! Wow. So for those of you who are lucky enough to watch yesterday's (Manila time) anime episode, we (I saw it through Youtube) saw how Pica's voice is so... WHADDAFACKK?!!!!!! Is that really Yuji Mitsuya? I looked him up, and he sounds incredibly different than that of his actual voice in one of his voice coaching lessons.

Okay, let's get over it. Now for the true main topic of this blog post, there is an upcoming tokusatsu for another anime/manga series (Attack on Titan/Shingeki no Kyojin) and it sounds interesting. What if this "rare" opportunity happens on One Piece? For those people who have no idea of what "tokusatsu" means, these are the live-action films with special effects, usually coming from manga. In Western terms, like how Marvel or DC Comics turn their comic strips into live action.

There is already one live action edition of One Piece, the One Piece Premier Show in Japan. Of course not everybody has the money nor the ability to understand Japanese (including myself), so it is rare for any of us to have the chance to watch that show. But how about... Oda has the plans to make a tokusatsu film about the series? What do you think about it?

What is the best type for the live-action film? Non-canon Abridged canon (retelling of a story arc) Other

When is the best setting for the film? Past (at least before the timeskip) The two-year timeskip Present (After the timeskip) Near future Near the end of the series Other (Time warp)

Who do you think is the best antagonist for the film? Pirate Marine World Government people (like CP-9 or CP-0) Other

Why do you think One Piece doesn't have a live action film so far? It is hard to find a real-life actor who will act Luffy or other characters voiced by women Lack of funding (less likely) Lack of ideas (less likely too) Other reasons Meh (Lack of interest) Staw

Will Staw go apeshit? Yes No Meh Staw
