One Piece (2023)
As a long time fan of the series, this is amazing. (spoiler free)
To preface, Is it 1:1 with the Anime/Manga? Of course not, if you want to watch 1000+ episodes of one piece, watch the anime, read the manga, whatever.
This covers roughly the first 50 or so episodes of the anime in 8 ~45 minute long episodes, and honestly? It feels very well paced. Everything/one is there, just not everything got the same level of camera time as the original, fights are not as prolonged, some lesser fights were completely removed (though characters do tend to be there in the background serving lesser roles).
What this show lacks in combat (which there is still plenty) it makes up for in plot. Nothing feels forced, there are small things slid in here and there that I think are pronounced enough that everyone, not just the long time fans of the series, would take notice.
And for anime/manga readers? There is so much fan service in the way of easter eggs. I wont spoil any here, but just know its very worth it to watch.
I can't wait to see how this series continues to develop. This is an amazing entry point, and the one piece story is giant, there are so many directions they could take this.
90 Day: The Last Resort (2023)
Great show, eps are too short
They took so many conflicting personalities and put them into one group therapy session, 3 episodes in and the drama is already the best I've seen in the 90 day franchise so far. The arguments are intense and everyones problems on full display. Little Ed can not make nice with anyone and needs to have a brawl before the season is over. Asuelu would kiss anything other than his wife. Michael doesn't come to live in the USA because Angela has white girl rage, Jovi and Yara are the only normal ones. My only complaint is that every other 90 day series has 1hr30m eps, this one is 45 mins. Not right.
