It's a shame that the performances of the actors in this show, and shows like it, will never get the credit and praise they deserve.
The acting, by literally every single actor in this show, was pitch perfect. But the acting by Inaki Godoy who played Luffy, Emily Rudd who played Nami, and by Mackenyu Maeda who played Zoro, was just incredible.
The emotional beats of this show (the anime is outstanding, and if you have never watched it, hit Netflix now before it's gone) all ring so true, and nothing is camp, even when it seems campy it's all in earnest.
I felt the same way with the performances of Robin Lord Taylor as Oswald Cobblepot aka The Penguin, and Cory Michael Smith as Edward Nygma aka The Riddler, on the show Gotham. Yeah, it was technically a comic book show, but their two individual performances were ****ing incredible, and they deserved recognition.
So, yeah, One Piece is my favorite anime of all time, and just one of the best stories ever, so maybe I am biased, but this show was amazing.
