Wow, they must be really confident to greenlight season 3 before season 2 even airs.
- Thanks for posting this. I wondered if season 2 somehow got by me.
- Season 7 of Slow Horses has already been greenlit and season 5 hasn't started airing yet lol.
  
  That’s different in that Slow Horses is consistently getting viewers, high praise from critics and Oldman has said he wants to do this character forever.
  
  I gotta get on that before it gets too far ahead.
Honestly I'm pretty happy with the live action adaptation. My biggest gripe with one piece is the pacing. It ruins so many good moments and storylines because getting to them and through them takes so long. The Netflix adaptation addresses this biggest issue for me by tightening the pacing. There's no doubt that in doing so some of the original content gets cut and some of the moments in the anime carry much more weight. But I would 100% rather watch the adaptation because I just hate the pacing of the anime. The issue persists in the manga too. It's a great story held back by sluggish and sloppy pacing. I've heard there's another anime being made and I hope that one has the sense to spend more time on the quality of the story telling rather than the quantity of it.
while cancelling a bunch of other good shows. i think stranger things, castlevania, and one piece are the ones that last longer than 2 seasons.
- It’s almost as if they use a different metric to determine success than if you liked it. People joined or resubscribed for One Piece which is why it was renewed.
  
  I dropped my Netflix subscription after they announced that Kaos was cancelled as soon as the first season aired.
  I know it's a drop in the bucket but I genuinely wonder how much revenue they have lost from people giving up on their service because they know good shows will be cancelled without any closure.
One of the best shows I've seen in recent years!
- Did you see the anime ? Not to be the asshole « look at the master material » guy
  
  In fairness, a 1,000+ episode show is far too unwieldy and intimidating for anyone but the most devout Anime fans to even consider starting at this point.
  I’m a devout Anime fan who’s 200 episodes into Detective Conan and I sometimes wonder why I’m doing this to myself.
  
  I haven’t, but I like the live action one quite a bit
  
  I did not, tried a couple times and couldn't make it through ep.01 to be honest. Just not my style I guess.
- For real?? I didn't know anime to live action could actually good. I'd give it a try if I didn't already hate One Piece.
I think anyone familiar with the show expected this. Season 2 is doing all the build up for Alabasta, and Alabasta is a very popular and iconic arc. Even 4kids made it all the way through.
The real question is what's gonna happen after Season 3. Jaya is probably adaptable, even if the mink brothers might be freaky in Live Action, and Skypiea shouldn't be too crazy on the effects, but it is quite long.
