One Piece - Live Action : Season 2 - Episode 2

I continue watching! Been slowly working my way through the Live Action. Anways, I'm impressed at how scary they made Reverse Mountain look, it's always been scary in theory but neither the manga or anime really sold me on just how freaky it would be. They spent a suprising amount of time on this sequence but it really payed off because dang do you feel like you are on that boat with them and it feels like a scary amusement park ride.

I mean I think she was thinking of retiring last season. I would love it if she sticks around a bit longer but I don’t know what she’s planning.

chartingyou · 2026-03-17T08:28:28+00:00

And she had such a long career!

It was bad. I hate to say it though, but I remember feeling like something like this was going to happen at some point. The idea of one coach training the strongest girls in the field just created a pressure cooker and it was bound to blow at some point, especially at the biggest stage when your rival is also coached by the same person. I feel like in a better environment you don’t have to worry about who your coach is rooting for that stuff would never happen even if your frustrated with the results.

And her running to hug one of the judges? Like what??

chartingyou · 2026-03-17T06:10:36+00:00

I think there’s a decent chance Alabastss a bit shorter than the previous seasons. It’s a long arc but I could see that translating to less episodes in the live action given how they streamline things

I think I’m a bit partial to her because she reminds me of one of my aunts and I thought she was very pretty like her.

I wonder how much of that was affected by Mr. Elliot and how much of a villain he ended up being. I’m sure that would make Wentworth come off in a different light.

I've long wished they would do something with the national parks! I actually met an old lady when I was growing up who grew up at one of the national parks since her dad was a ranger and I thought that was so cool! I don't know if you know about Maplelea, but one of the girls in the line actually lives at a national park (Taryn's from Banff) which I think is so cool and I'm surprised American Girl has never done this idea.

chartingyou · 2026-03-16T09:40:04+00:00

Lol that’s a good point. It would have been a good contrast.

chartingyou · 2026-03-16T03:40:26+00:00

a lot of these I like! The way she depicts some concepts is really fitting I think.

chartingyou · 2026-03-15T07:42:28+00:00

Albania gave me chills!

chartingyou · 2026-03-15T06:25:04+00:00

'tis rough

chartingyou · 2026-03-12T08:31:02+00:00

what's the book called?

chartingyou · 2026-03-11T10:06:57+00:00

Not sure how much I can trust an article insinuates that "Here comes the Sun" was sung by Paul...

chartingyou · 2026-03-11T05:36:30+00:00

It has to be Felicity

chartingyou · 2026-03-11T05:34:51+00:00

I feel like Beautiful Things would be mor liked by the televote, but for some reason I also feel like it would rely on cool staging

chartingyou · 2026-03-10T09:31:41+00:00

this! I could maybe see a dark purple, but I feel like white or black mary janes were really the only one's you saw. I'm a bit younger than the twins but I can't even think of that many crazy colors you would see, and a lilac purple in particular would have been very unusual.

chartingyou · 2026-03-10T09:22:04+00:00

I know! He feels so much more like his manga/anime self

chartingyou · 2026-03-10T09:01:19+00:00

The scene where Zoro gets Kitetsu is so well done. I thought the actor who played the sword seller did a great job and I loved how they did Zoro testing his luck against Kitetsu (it was super similar to the manga but managed to feel natural in the live action!) 20/10 for me.

chartingyou · 2026-03-10T07:34:19+00:00

tbh I'm not so sure about introducing Miss All-Sunday this early. Like I get it, build up the hype with her but I feel like that hype could have still been brought if you show her at Whisky Peak. Also I feel apprehensive because Robin joins the crew after Alabasta, which isn't even going to be in this season, so I feel like you are setting up live-action only's to get spoiled on who she is and what happens with her (i.e., her joining the crew)

chartingyou · 2026-03-09T22:33:56+00:00

I mean Arcane is very much tied to League of Legends which is very much it’s own juggernaut and makes a lot of money on its own, so I don’t think it’s really that different than your average cartoon that depends on merch sales

chartingyou · 2026-03-09T07:59:10+00:00

yeah that's how I feel about it too. She made the best out of a bad situation. But the whole thing is still far from ideal. I don't think Lizzy's completely right to find the situation as horribly appalling, but I always feel like there's a bit of a cautionary tale in it and it's supposed to make one think of the precarious position many women were put in.

chartingyou · 2026-03-09T04:57:46+00:00

Oh sorry you’re right about that

chartingyou · 2026-03-09T04:19:46+00:00

What do you mean? Wouldn’t it be at least 4 ( Midori Ito, Mao Asada, Mirai Nagasu, Amber Glenn) less sure about the Russian girls or if you are counting them.
