Oda-Sensei shared his thoughts on the live-action adaptation, production, changes from the manga, and the cast and crew.
“I’ll say this. There were no compromises on this show!” he said. “There was so much that went into it–all of the efforts by the actors, the building of the world and the costumes, presenting things in a way that can only be done in live action, the dialogue–and the entire process of so many people putting their heads together was a festivity in and of itself.”
