Early reactions to Netflix's One Piece are creating positive buzz around the live-action show. One Piece, which premieres on Netflix on August 31, is adapted from the long-running manga series of the same name by Eiichiro Oda, which has previously been adapted as an anime series. The new series will star Iñaki Godoy as wannabe King of the Pirates Monkey D. Luffy opposite Mackenyu, Emily Rudd, Jacob Romero Gibson, and Taz Skylar.
