Why is the Netflix version of One Piece succeeding when all of their other live-actionized anime productions were miserable failures? Geeks & Gamers contributor Alex Gherzo has two articles going over why. One is that they aren’t adapting the anime but the original manga, with good reason. Meanwhile, the creator of that manga is still doing quality control on the story, making sure the adaptation is as accurate as it can be between media formats. That last one might be the more important because it means they can’t just do what they want with it, giving us crap like Cowboy BeBop‘s bad adaptation.
