Marc Jobst, director and executive producer of the recently released One Piece live-action series, reveals why Buggy the Clown is more sinister in the Netflix show than in the anime and manga. Originally starting off as a manga series by Eiichiro Oda in the late '90s, One Piece today has grown to become one of the most popular multimedia franchises in the world, boasting a long-running anime series, several animated feature films, video games and much more. After initial announcements of a live-action adaptation was made back in 2017, the series finally premiered on Netflix on August 31, 2023.
