Streamer’s adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s uber-popular manga (and the subsequent anime series) features overlong episodes and too much backstory
Yes, in addition to being a world of pirates, it’s a world of superpowers. So Luffy can bend and stretch and deflect bullets. Buggy , a clown-themed pirate the crew encounters in the season’s middle episodes, has supernatural abilities of his own, and the climax of the season involves Luffy and friends going up against an army of superstrong fishmen, led by the vicious Arlong .
All of this is fun and energetic, and the action is extremely well choreographed, shot, and edited. We have to believe that Zoro is one of the world’s great sword wielders, that Luffy’s Mr. Fantastic abilities would allow him to go toe-to-toe with someone like Arlong, and that other crew members are capable fighters in their own right. And the clean and clear way that the fight scenes are presented accomplishes that.
But the bigger problem, related to that, is that Owens, Maeda, and company use a lot of this bonus time to dig deeper into these characters and this world than seems justifiable based on the results in this season. Everyone gets a tragic backstory, Luffy especially, as we dwell a lot on him as a kid while he seeks Shanks’ approval. The goal, it seems, is to make us care about the crew in the same way that Luffy instantly cares about them.
