Hit Japanese manga "One Piece" is coming to Netflix as a live-action series -- a development that's both exciting and worrisome for fans who have seen mixed success in a growing list of Hollywood adaptations.
"I know some people are worried about what might happen with the Hollywood remake," she said, noting how past American attempts at depicting Japanese comics and animated works have at times proved disappointing. The film, in turn, influenced anime, including the "Blade Runner: Black Lotus" anime that first aired in 2021.
In February, The Pokemon Company announced "Pokemon Concierge," a stop-motion anime collaboration with Netflix. Pokemon is the world's most valuable media franchise with estimated all-time sales of $100 billion, according to a 2021 Statista report. Followed by Hello Kitty, the two Japanese products outrank Western offerings like Mickey Mouse, Winnie the Pooh and Star Wars.
Established bestsellers offer the advantage of a built-in fanbase, but they also come with strict scrutiny. Some, like "Ghost in the Shell," have been criticized for "whitewashing" the Asian original. The 1995 animated movie was made into a Hollywood live-action in 2017 amid complaints about casting white American actor Scarlett Johansson as the main character -- though Asia largely stayed out of the debate.
I canceled Netflix. Too expensive and they won't let me share with my mom.
Cancelled my Netflix after they asked for more money!
Netflix pays you to do adverts for them and call it news? That's pretty nasty
I have many mixed feelings about this. Just don’t let ‘4kids’ get their hands on it and desanguinate all the characters and turn their guns into lollipops.
From literal misogynistic b porn movies masquerading as horror to new woke series to indoctrinate the youth in a different way. lol people pay for this 😂
Who cares, if Netflix doesn't back down with password sharing it won't be in Canada much longer.
Don’t care

And if the way they handled 'Cowboy Bebop' is any indication, this will bomb so badly it might create a refugee crisis.
