The One Piece live-action series, according to recent reports citing Netflixwoche, the official German Netflix website, boasts a mind-blowing per-episode budget of USD 17.27 million. This amount exceeds even the spending for HBO's Game of Thrones, which at its height had a significant per-episode budget of USD 14.79 million. The studios' choice to devote such a substantial sum to the One Piece adaptation's production shows that they care deeply about the fanbase. One Piece presents Netflix with both a thrilling potential and a significant risk because to its reputation for ambitious storytelling and magnificent visuals.

The Streamr's Mo Hoosen praises it as "the real deal" and possibly the "king of the Netflix shows." On Twitter, @WildeePatrol likes the massive scope and cast. It is distinguished from prior adaptations by Evan Valentine of Comicbook.com, who states, "This is NOT Cowboy Bebop."
