Eiichiro Oda: The live-action drama of One Piece will only be broadcast if it meets my expectations

Today (May 5), Netflix released an open letter from Eiichiro Oda about the live-action series of "One Piece" to celebrate the birthday of Monkey D. Luffy, the protagonist of "One Piece". In the letter, Oda talked about the progress of the production of the live-action series of "One Piece".

Oda said that the series creators from Tomorrow Studio knew the characters in the original work very well, and all the elements of the series adaptation were very consistent. Oda admitted that for a long time he had been prejudiced that it would be difficult for a foreign team to undertake this project.

It is reported that Eiichiro Oda reached a consensus with Netflix in 2016 to shoot the live-action drama of "One Piece". Since then, Netflix has invested a lot of resources in the series. According to Oda, the series is still scheduled to be broadcast in 2023, but it will only be officially broadcast when the final results meet Oda's expectations-this is part of the agreement he signed with Netflix.

According to Eiichiro Oda, the live-action drama of One Piece will be eight episodes long - production is in the final stages. Oda said the cast and crew love One Piece very much and are passionate about the universe.
