    From everything I’ve heard and read, he was the only real One Piece fan that worked on the show, so in his absence, don’t be surprised if it turns to shit.

      Im gonna guess this went like every other live action show recently:

      • Fan of IP works on show, puts in great effort to make sure their ideas fit into the canon and setting
      • Everyone else hates the IP, makes no effort to learn anything about it and actually makes effort to intentionally avoid the IP
      • Causes massive disagreement between the one fan and everyone else
      • Everyone else makes the fan’s time on the project completely miserable, always denying and overriding everything the fan does
      • Fan gives up and leaves project they were excited to work on because they got bullied by everyone else

    I mean, it was sooo obvious this show was going to be screwed from the start.

    Netflix moves too slow producing things, many things in animation just don’t translate well to real life, there is just too much content to cover, etc.
