But it will go as with NGE...


It will be a flop and it will turn out that the factomatic collaboration with Oda never existed..
Neon Genesis Evangelion live-action? How could something that never made thorough the production limbo be a flop?

Well, I hope you are wrong. Atleast everything Owens said talks to the fact that they are in contact with Oda, and he would totally burn in the fandom if it turned he lied. So he didn't, OP just truly means to much for him.

I mean, it's possible it won't be great, I'm not denying that. But I've actually followed a lot of the production and all the info that's been available during the production process, and nothing I've seen so far has indicated anything but a great understanding and passion for the project from the cast, the writers and the producers to a degree none of the other LA adaptations have had.

Also, that last part won't happen since both Oda and his team and Netflix executives have stated that he oversees the production, specifically that he is involved with even minute details.

As opposed to Shinichiro Watanabe who said even before Cowboy Bebop came out that he gave some pointers on the script but he didn't feel they would actually listen (and they did so just to get his name attached as "consultant" and pretend they cared about the original vision), Oda has been nothing but positive and supportive of this and said that what he's seen of it looks really great.

So like, sure, be sceptical, but also try to understand that with all these reassuring aspects (compared to other adaptations), at least at this point in time there are those of us who genuinely think this could turn out alright, or as much alright as a manga adaptation could.

@Riku Rumor's going round about release date being August 31.

If true, then we might well get a trailer during Geeked Week in May/June or sth like that! :verily

I heard! Sound bit early since ATLA is apparently a summer release and I doubt they will release them back to back, but I guess end of August already qualifies as fall release.

But yeah I'm firm believer on Geeked trailer as well. Some people are really bent on Superbowl teaser, but I really doubt it. I think Netflix has done Superbowl only once, and that was for Stranger Things when it already was a huge success in the first place.

First reports coming in.

Test viewers left the screening confused and disappointing.

Guys that doesnt sound too good.

Tbf that all comes from one Twitter account with an un-named source, and most of the things they described doesn't add up with previous information we have based on leaked ep1 script, and Greg from the official One Piece website said it was untrue based on the "info" they gave about the scripts etc.

Plus, they said "they're rewriting entire episodes" which just sounds entirely unlikely considering filming has wrapped since months back and it's been in post-production for some time.

Could still be some truth to it, but I won't lend it so much credence as to make me less cautiously hopeful.

Already confirmed fake. Untrusty source (history of fake scoops), weird details (entire episodes are not rewritten in post), describing aspects of the manga as if they were strange ("some characters have unnatural hair colors"), and last but not least a official collaborator of Oda already confirmed this as false.

It could still end up sucking and some aspects of this might be true (like some of the more generic ones such as bad cgi and humour and action not blending well), but by all standards this is not a reliable leak.

Also, according to similar rumours, Super Mario performed awfully with test groups. And lookey look, it's breaking records and has overwhelmingly positive audience feedback.

So yeah, still not a time for conclusion. Just a month-ish for a trailer, we'll see then better how it seems.

I'd say this is the craziest part

Lol they played their hand too hard with that bit. There's an art to doing fake spoilers and it has to do with plausibility. Claiming this is happening may as well have been a flashing neon sign saying 'this is fake', if you know anything productions like this at all.

I'm curious to see if Oda after the flop will do as the author of CB and will keep everything on his involvement or will choose the press blackout.

Did Watanabe promote the Netflix adaptation the same way before its release?

No, but the producers of the series ensured that he was involved
I don't trust Oda's words much anyway

He absolutely didn't, lol. When asked about it before it came out, he was like "I gave them some notes but who knows if they'll listen", and then after it aired he said he watched the beginning of episode 1 and turned it off during the first scene (Basically the opposite of "we're all in sync, everyone is brimming with passion and they've promised not to launch until I'm satisfied". :invalid

But what should Oda say in your opinion?

Of course he promote the project ...

So I'm curious to see how he reacts to the flop (which I'd say is 90% guaranteed).

But Super Mario is an animated film.

Not a TV series
