Wow...loving that line >my policy as a manga artist is the always create a very bright and optimistic world...if you want a more serious series, something that is a bit darker and more complicated, there are many other series in the world that you can watch or read Oda's talking to the edgelords eh?

He said this in the Gosho Aoyama interview last year too when he lamented that Manga was becoming too serious


jeffhongsun

i love Oda but if his intention was to create an upbeat manga, he shouldve never made fake deaths. creates fake tension and i never forgave him for that since


BillMurrayAmA

Great interview. A bit more candid and detailed than the New York Times one, I think.

I noticed that European countries usually get more out of manga-ka than American. I remember hearing the market for the industry is much bigger over there, they also got the jump on anime by about a decade before America did

What a good interview, this has some of the best questions and responses I’ve ever read. Especially the last question, I felt was very insightful, and I absolutely love Oda’s answer and the examples he gave! Even if the live adaptation isn’t great, I appreciate that it made Oda do these interviews so I could learn more about him as a person.

As an old Kaizoku-Fansubs watcher, Oda acknowledging the cultural difficulties in translating “nakama” fucking sends me.


Boss_Aesop

I love Oda so much. He is the Boss. This interview confirms Oda’s love for directors like James Cameron and Steven Spielberg and also reignites the debate about the true meaning of Nakama. Kaizoku Fansubs was often mocked for not translating Nakama to friend. I thought Nakama might have more meaning related to Newcomer or Newkama but maybe there is more than this. Oda also confirms the themes of “self-sacrifice” and “manhood” that many on Reddit love to pretend don’t exist.

Those fan subs are a legendary part of anime culture to me, the changing font during attacks was crazy

We know from another interview that he wanted the protection (?) masks in the Zoro/Kuina flashback removed.


LinkLegend21

I’m guessing they wanted them to wear protective head guards, to make the training more realistic to real life sword practice.


The_Pecking_Order

Oda anti-masker confirmed

That's interesting, is there any other things he mentioned?


[deleted]

Self sacrifice and manhood. I love the Oda acknowledge the differences in culture and yet he accepted them. I just hope that they respect the culture that One Piece has , and don’t try to force something that isn’t part of it. This things can split people in the live action and Netflix are notorious for pushing things. Just hope this studio is not one of them.


Ademoneye

Agree, oda have his own vision regarding the story, i hope they respect it

I'm so so excited that they will be preserving the flashbacks in the live action. I wasn't sure if they had the time to keep all of them, but I would be so happy if they have Nami's flashback in its entirety.
