【海外の反応】「声優にここまで差がでるとは…」世界中で大ヒット中のONE PIECEの実写版！日本語版と英語版を比較した結果w→日本のおかげで時の人になれたアフリカ人俳優！【日本のあれこれ】

Without a Japanese voice actor, the anime wouldn't have come to be. Thanks to the anime, I've become a person of the moment. Hello, everyone. I'm Yuri of Personality. Oda Eiichiro's very popular manga, One Piece, which was serialized on Weekly Shonen Jump in 1997, is currently being streamed on Netflix, and it's a hot topic overseas as well. Today, I'd like to introduce you to the overseas popularity of the serialized version of One Piece. The Japanese version of One Piece, which surprised foreigners, and the African actor who became a person of the moment thanks to his appearance in the same anime, are some of the reasons why the serialized version of One Piece was a success. The number of serialized versions of One Piece worldwide exceeded 5.1 billion in August 2022. It is also recognized as one of the Guinness World Records as one of the most serialized comic books by a single author. In addition, the translation version of the serialized version was sold in more than 60 countries overseas, and the anime was broadcast in more than 40 countries. The number of serialized versions of One Piece worldwide exceeded 100 million in August 2022. The same work has won many awards overseas. At the Frankfurt Book Fair in Germany, it won the Best Manga Award in 2005, 2008, and 2009 from the International Manga Department of the Sondermann Book Award. At the Paris Book Fair in France, it won the Anime and Manga Award from the Anime Department, the Best Classic Series Award, and the Best Boy Manga Award from the Manga Department. In 2013, the same work was exhibited at the Paris Aquarium, and the official website of the aquarium was introduced as the most popular cultural property in France. At the Ottawa International Animation Festival in 2010 in Canada, One Piece film Strong World was nominated for the Best Comic Book Award. The same work won the Audience Award at the 2010 Spain-Barcelona Asian Film Festival. Let me introduce three main reasons why One Piece has become so popular overseas. The first reason is the charming characters. The characters in the same work have a detailed background story, which is very unique. The regular characters, such as Luffy, Zoro, and Sanji, are not only attractive to the enemies that appear one after another, but also to the readers. The second reason is the touching story with the theme of friendship and family love. The charm of One Piece is the flashy battle scenes, but not only that, there are countless stories with the theme of friendship and family love in the same work. These universal themes are easy to understand and relate to the story for foreigners. The third reason is the large number of plots. One Piece has been serialized for more than 25 years, and many plots have been laid out since the early days. And as the story progresses, the plots gradually become more and more obvious. Many people are looking forward to contemplating the plots and can't stop reading because they are curious about the continuation. The live-action version was a big hit. On August 31, 2023, the live-action drama series One Piece started streaming on Netflix. Because it was a live-action version of a famous manga, there were many voices mixed with anticipation and anxiety among the fans before the broadcast, but when the lid was opened, it had 18.5 million views in four days from the start of the broadcast. It topped the charts in 93 countries, including Japan, and won first place in 59 countries. In addition, the number of reviews by general viewers on the criticism site Rotten Tomato exceeded 10,000. The number of reviews for most of the Netflix works exceeded the number in just a few days from the release. Moreover, the average score is 95%. This is the highest level of Netflix works in the past, so considering that it will be difficult to maintain a high score as the number of reviews increases, it may be said that it is the highest rating in history. In addition, not only general viewers, but also reviews from critics were high, and on September 6, 43 reviews from critics were submitted, but the score was 84%. The fresh tomato that was given to the works with a lot of sarcastic criticism was shining. So why did the live-action version of One Piece have a high quality that made the original fans excited? The first reason is the look that doesn't feel like cosplay. The characters in the manga and anime are specialized in 2D expression, so if you reproduce it faithfully in real life, you will feel uncomfortable. If the eyebrows of Sanji, who plays Taz Skyler, were swirling, or the nose of Usopp, who plays Jacob Romero Gibson, was as long as Pinocchio, you would have lost the sense of immersion in the drama. The second reason is a mysterious cast that doesn't feel uncomfortable even though it looks like a manga. Contrary to the members of the Mugiwara Pirates who settled on realistic designs, there are many characters who don't feel uncomfortable even though they are faithful to the original design. For example, Mihawk has unnatural eyebrows and whiskers, and his beard is the same as the original. Captain Mouse of the Navy was wearing a hat with a mouse's ears, and Lucky Lou of the Akagami Pirates had manga meat that couldn't be found in real life. These are all manga-like interpretations, but strangely, there is no sense of discomfort. In the live-action version of One Piece, you can say that the selection of the main character and the adjustment of the resolution of the character design are exquisite. The third reason is the overwhelming understanding of the characters. In the live-action version of One Piece, not only the appearance of the characters, but also the portraits and the inside of the characters are well expressed. Even if the development is different from the original episode, the One Piece-like feeling is not lost. The versatility and depth of the One Piece characters are obtained by the amount of information accumulated over a long series. Therefore, in the live-action version, which is limited in length, multiple perspectives were adopted due to different relationships as a means of obtaining the amount of information that can reproduce the charm of the original character. The reason why the fans were convinced while making such a change that can be said to be an acrobat is probably because there was a deep understanding and affection for the characters. And the fourth reason is the abundant production funds. The reason why the live-action version of One Piece is so complete is because the Netflix side is seriously pushing the same work. The production cost per episode is about 2.6 billion yen, which is said to be the highest in the history of Netflix works. This is a budget that is not inferior to the Road of the Ring and the Ring of Power produced by Game of Thrones and Amazon, which are known as the signboard program of HBO in the United States. One of the reasons why Netflix spent a serious budget on One Piece is that one of the current signboard programs, Stranger Things, is scheduled to be completed in Season 5, which is scheduled to be delivered in the summer of 2024. In other words, it is expected that the live-action version of One Piece will be a signboard program for Netflix in the future. After all, the original manga is a long-lived work with more than 100 short stories. In this live-action version, up to 11 short stories have been drawn, so there is already a story that can be continued up to Season 10. In recent years, the competition for membership in video distribution services has intensified. For Netflix, it is one of the signboard programs for independent distribution, and it can be said that there is plenty of merit to make a huge investment in One Piece. The Japanese version is a big hit One of the points that is talked about in the live-action version of One Piece is that the voice actor of the anime and the voice actor of the live-action version are the same. The Japanese voice actor is Yumi Tanaka, who plays Luffy, and the voice actor who is familiar with anime. It is said that it is amazing that most of the public opinion is that the voice actor and the voice actor are the same. Because the voice is matched to the live-action version, it feels like a reinterpretation of the original manga. Japanese voice actors are essential to succeed in the live-action version of the anime. Instead of acting the same way because they are the same roles, it was praised that they changed the feeling of reinterpretation properly to match the live-action version. The actor of South Africa who became a man of time The actor of South Africa, who became a man of time in the live-action version of One Piece on the Internet overseas, was a hot topic. In the same work, there are many actors who are not so famous in the world. The actor of South Africa, Alexander Maniatis, who played Klahadol, also became famous thanks to this work. Kuro, also known as Klahadol, is a friend of Usopp, and he is a butler who can be used by Kaya, a rich young lady in the village of Sirop. The identity of the butler is that he is a pirate with the strange name of Kuro, and he is approaching Kaya as a butler. What he uses as a weapon is a cat's hand that looks like a long blade coming out of his glove. This feature was faithfully reproduced in the live-action version. Maniatis has appeared in action dramas such as Warrior. His love for One Piece and Kuro is strong, and his X has a lot of off-shot and fan art of Kuro. Also, he was overwhelmed by the number of touching messages for the work and Kuro. I am very surprised and humbled by this wonderful experience. Thank you for all the love, support, and heartfelt messages. Thanks to One Piece, the actor who became famous overnight was praised from overseas. Overseas Reaction Your Kuro was really amazing. The gesture of your hands and glasses looked exactly like Kuro in manga and anime. You did the best job. It's more Kuro-like than Kuro, and it can't get any better. I praise the people involved in the live-action version of Kuro. I got goosebumps when Kuro changed from Klahadol. You reproduced the characteristics of Kuro well, and I felt an elegant aura in your elegant movements. When I read the manga again, I'll put you on Kuro. Thank you for your wonderful performance. I haven't decided on the quality of the live-action version yet, but your casting was a home run. Thanks to you, I'm proud to be a South African. Summary On September 15, Netflix announced the production of the live-action version of One Piece Season 2. Since it is a big title that made a world-famous manga, it is possible to assume that the sequel was originally decided, but it is quite unusual to have such an announcement less than a month after the release of Season 1. The big response to this work, which continues to spread all over the world from the beginning of the distribution, I think it was the aftermath of such a quick announcement. At the moment, it is still in the production stage of the script, and it will take some time before it is released. The original author, Eiichiro Oda, said in a special video, I feel like I need an excellent voice actor for a part of Mugiwara. I had a feeling that the popular character Chopper would appear in the sequel. A live-action version with a strict eye even for free. Also, One Piece is a world-famous work, so if it was an unexpected content, the voice of optimism and rebellion would have been so loud. Among such high hurdles, not only people who have no resistance to live-action movies, but also people who are skeptical about live-action movies. I think that this work has become a milestone in changing the image of live-action movies in Japan and abroad. How was it? If you like, I would be happy if you could tell me your impressions in the comments. Thank you for your high rating and channel registration. Thank you for watching until the end. See you in the next video.
