Losing a lot of the original emotion. When Luffy got his powers it was such a light-hearted funny event in the anime however in the Netflix series it had a more dark connotation.
Going into the first episodes a lot of the backstory on how the main group meant is lost which may account for less connection into the show. The anime took its time letting people grasp the connections. That had made the anime more entertaining to people who enjoyed their comedy or friendship shows.
The counterpart show had a lot of attention put into it. With accuracy in the character’s outfits, tone, and even the animation and illustrations in the show. The tiny details are also seen within the younger characters' outfits and stances!

Having its benefits for people who can’t take the time to watch over 1000 episodes of a show.
“One Piece” the anime and the live-action have brought up so much hype themselves and have lived well up to it pleasing the many fans that it holds.
