“It was something else”: Mackenyu Couldn’t Help but Brag to His Friends About Seeing One Piece’s Going Merry in Real Life
Mackenyu, who plays Zoro, was very excited to see his favorite anime series come to real.
Netflix’s live-action One Piece show was a huge success, unlike many past anime adaptations like Dragon Ball Evolution, Death Note, Cowboy Bebop, and Attack on Titan. It became the number-one show in 84 countries during its debut weekend.
The success of One Piece can be credited to its collaboration with the manga author, Eiichiro Oda, ensuring it stayed true to the original. The casting was excellent, and the actors added depth and passion to their characters, which is where other adaptations have failed.
In addition to this, the show’s visuals, especially its CGI effects, are exceptional. Even one of the standout cast members, Mackenyu, who plays Zoro, was impressed with the CGI and sets. He was excited to see the Going Merry ship come to life during shooting.
