It has been a week since the One Piece Live Action was released, and fans cannot get more of it. Netflix has successfully broken the curse of the terrible Live Action experiences they are known for, and for the first time, fans are relieved that it was Netflix who took the rights for the One Piece Live Action.
However, there has been another anime whose Live Action has been adapted by Netflix. To be precise, Cowboy BeeBop is a globally successful anime series that is particularly well-liked by anime fans.
So what is the reason behind the success of One Piece Live Action and the Failure of Cow Beebop Live Action? The reasons for Cowboy Beebop Live Action‘s commercial flop will be covered in detail in this article.
The Reasons For Success and Failure Of One Piece Live Action and Cowboy BeeBop Live Action Respectively
After slipping under the fans’ attention, One Piece Live Action has gotten positive reviews. The One Piece anime character was faithfully recreated, according to fans. The Netflix Live-Action One Piece series has gained popularity because of its stellar cast, realistic scenery, and CGI.
The main reason for the massive success of Live-Action One Piece was the heavy involvement of Eiichiro Oda, which is why Netflix could stick to the original story. Fans believe that Cowboy Beebop Live Action flopped severely because it failed to stay authentic to its source material.
One Piece is a whimsical series with goofy main characters, silly pranks, and doses of humor. This is another factor that fans believe has contributed to the Live Action version of One Piece’s success. Cowboy Beebop, on the other hand, contains some very dark themes and manipulates the plot with a distinctly Hollywood flair.
Fans claim that the creators of the Live Action Cowboy Beebop misinterpreted the series when they included their rendition in the Live Action. In contrast, the creators of the One Piece Live Action series did a better job of organizing and tidying up their storyline.
Here is what the Reddit Community has to say:
“The writers of the LA just didn’t understand the concept of the show or bothered to understand the characters, that’s one of the things that made Cowboy Bebop really compelling to watch.”

“Well Oda, the one piece creator, was heavily involved in the production of the OPLA. The OPLA actually followed the original story and the people involved in the project truly loved the original story.”
