I'll say it again, some stuff simply doesn't translate well into life action.

DBZ, TLA... it just will look goofy when it's actually taken fully serious.

We loved these shows because they are a bit silly, yet have cool messages. But, the minute you start doing kamehamehas in real life.... It's just absurd.

The One Piece Live Action worked well enough. You just have to capture the spirit and be willing to ditch things that look too silly on film.

And have a multi million dollar budget per episode. That also helps

Exactly this. If they dont take themselves too serious and adapt the silly spirit, it can work.
