Will Netflix’s One Piece Adaptation Sink or Swim?

Author Jered Eastmond

Media streaming site Netflix is known for having some of the best movies, shows and originals in the entertainment world. Though one part that they’ve struggled in the past with is their live action adaptations of hit anime series. According to theverge this will be the year that the One Piece becomes real!  The best part is you won’t have to sail the seas to find it.

Now Netflix has produced some highly successful and highly respected originals like Seven Deadly Sins and their adaptation of Castlevania. Though when it comes to turning live animated shows into live action movies, the ball falls short. The most notable example, would be their 2017 adaption of Death Note. Fans were excited as this was a title that got many people into watching anime. Though the reviews don’t meet expectations as it only received a 4.6 on IMDb and the acting is certainly off when comparing the two. Though Netflix will be making this series into a live action show. Something they did with Cowboy Bebop which was cancelled after one season.

One Piece is one of the longest anime shows still running and still making new episodes even after twenty-three years. Now it will be taking a new form after Netflix announced  back in 2021 that it would be turning the 1000+ episode anime into a live action show. Though like most things information fell silent due to the pandemic among other things. We are now getting more info that the long awaited show will be coming this year!

I am genuinely excited as One Piece is considered not only one of the big three of anime, but it’s also got in my opinion some of the best character development and plot lines in all of entertainment. With Netflix’s history they will have to earn the respect of dedicated fans if they want the series to be a success.

3 New Jersey Restaurants Among Yelp's Top 100 U.S. Restaurants of 2023

Food is one of the few things that can really bring people together. Sometimes people use eating as a way to socialize, and some have even turned eating into a career or a professional sport.

So can you believe that among the million-plus restaurants in the United States? Some of the very best are located right here in New Jersey!?

Each year the online crowdsource review site Yelp publishes its top restaurants across the United States. They gather the data through user submissions and other cultural factors such as geographic representation, ratings, reviews, etc.

You’ll be glad to know Jersey had three locations this year within the top 100. This is an increase from Yelp’s 2022 list in which only two Garden State restaurants were honored.

With such a wide variety of food types having even one place featured is a win in my book. It certainly goes to show that New Jersey residents know a thing or two about food.

This year’s winners included Jessica’s Café(40) a delightful Italian and French fusion located in Plainfield. Kenko Sushi(78) over in Lincoln Park which offers quality sushi rolls. Lastly, Nicholas Anthony’s Family Kitchen(88) right in West Orange makes you feel like a part of the family as they offer up some Italian cuisine.

You really can’t go wrong with any of the three ranked Jersey locations, but maybe you’re planning a road trip across the Great Garden State so why not hit all three? This is the 10-year anniversary since Yelp started its annual listing. You know the competition was fierce, so if you’re even traveling out of state here is 100 of the best eating establishments this year according to Yelp.
