I was in shambles watching this conversation between Nami and Usopp because they are one of the two duos I expected to see the most this season. Unlike the manga, where every relationship is more subtle, opla has opted for more direct and heartfelt conversations between characters that really establish the type of relationship between them. Like Zoro and Nami drinking their traumas away in season 1, Nami and Usopp talking about remembering where they come from and how far they're going to go here and later in the season; and more, but we'll talk about them later.

I love it, these types of conversations are very rare in the manga and I'm glad I can see them here.

I love how the live action makes it clear that deep down all the Straw Hats are in love with each other on some kind of metaphysical plane of multiversal platonicism and that it doesn’t matter which ship you like you’re going to get a little bit of all of them because they wouldn’t choose anyone over the others. They’re one big whole.

One of my few complaints about OPLA season 1 was that they didn’t make Zoro stupid enough, and I’m happy to report that season 2 corrected this error with gusto. He’s SO stupid. Couldn’t find his way out of a paper bag. Just one single braincell rattling around upstairs.

I think it’s absurd to have to remind people that this is an adaptation of a manga that’s been running for over 25 years with more than 1,000 chapters. With all the information they already have and everything that’s been revealed in the story, it’s completely normal for them to compress things, move certain information forward, or introduce it earlier, because it makes narrative sense in an audiovisual format.

It wouldn’t make sense to wait that long to start showing the first hints of the Revolutionary Army or characters like Bartolomeo, or to avoid planting seeds about things like Laugh Valley, because these are crucial elements for the core plot of the story. And a TV series isn’t a manga or an anime that can run for a thousand episodes, it’s a different format with a different narrative style.

The people complaining about this clearly have no idea how these things work. We can talk about obvious flaws like the pacing sometimes, or details that are relevant for certain characters (like emphasizing why Zoro is triggered by Tashigi), but setting up certain important plot points for future seasons is a logical and smart decision.

And honestly, I can’t stand the manga-purist dudebros who clearly can’t tell the difference between a TV adaptation and a straight-up copy of the anime. Guys, this isn’t a copy of the anime, and it can’t be one for obvious narrative reasons, so please stop whining about it.

thank you to opla s2 for introducing us to brain ghost mihawk, but everytime he appeared it was genuinely a jump scare cause he was always in some cunty ass pose

like do you MIND?

I have many OPLA thoughts, but the scene between Roger and Garp made me gasp. How Roger is calling out Garp on all his fake titles was absolutely everything.
