Netflix&#039;s &#039;One Piece&#039; live-action showrunner

Amidst Season 2 Wait, Netflix’s ‘One Piece’ Showrunner Wants to Bring Over This Anime to Live-Action

A month has passed and One Piece viewership numbers are still coming in. Netflix
finally managed to win over fans as well as the confidence of its own executives
with the live-action. After bracing through the six-year-long grind to get One
Piece to its current status, its showrunner, Steven Maeda, has high hopes of
turning the fortunes over of another anime. The live-action genre has livened up
ever so remarkably that it certainly could become a possibility.

Notably, his current show has already been greenlit for season two. While Maeda
is certainly working on it, his plans could usher some excitement for anime
fans.


STEVEN MAEDA WANTS TO ADAPT TATSUYA ENDO’S MANGA

Ushering to the same theme where global peace lies under threat, One Piece and
Spy x Family, both have manga and anime precedents. The Tatsuya Endo manga is a
unique, entertaining, and wholesome series that is widely beloved as manga and
anime. As it awaits the release of season two of its anime side, Steven Maeda
has ushered some hope for it. In an interview with Comicbook, the One Piece
showrunner admitted
[https://comicbook.com/anime/news/spy-x-family-anime-live-action/], “I love Spy
X Family so much.”



He further went on to add that although difficult, getting the show to crossover
into live-action would certainly be a delight to witness. The manga anime
follows the tales of Twilight, a spy who builds a fake family to investigate his
leads. The setting of a cold war, tinge of telepathy, comedy, action, and drama
make it an entertaining piece. As already proven with One Piece, Maeda indeed
does have the necessary skills and Netflix, the budget, to pull his vision off.

As Maeda plans on his next ventures, fans are already breathlessly awaiting
season two of Monkey D. Luffy’s adventures.

After their record-shattering Netflix debut

the Straw Hat pirates are all but set for their next adventure. The Eiichiro
Oda-helmed series will probably span across the Arabasta saga for its return.
Along with this, improving on the scale and world-building from the first season
are among its priorities. Season two shall also introduce several new characters
to the show, including Smoker, the next big-bad.

cast back to reprise their acclaimed roles. Oda made the announcement for the
next season in a special video. While specific details have not yet been
revealed, an expansive creative work seems to be in the works, especially
considering the grand reception and reputation it has to live up to.
