If you are looking for a great adaption of a comic book into a live action series, I just finished watching One Piece on Netflix and I thought it was a great series, having not read the comic book but hearing people who have and they said it was great. The author of the comic book worked with the producers to make sure it was as accurate as possible.

I agree it's actually pretty great (not finished the series yet though). I didn't think it was possible to remake a manga well in live action, but I think they did it.

Agreed as well. Even my 70 year old dad, who has never seen an anime in his life, told me he watched and enjoyed it.
I think I read somewhere that Oda, the author, handpicked all the principal actors for the show. If so, the man got a good eye because the cast was rock solid. I may be biased but the guy they got to play Mihawk stole the show for me.
That said...HOLY CRAP, the set pieces were insane! I watched the Baratie episodes like three times just to appreciate the look and feel of the whole thing.
When I heard about a live action One Piece I had flashbacks to that god-awful Fullmetal Alchemist movie. Here's hoping they don't screw up Avatar next.

Yes I know what you mean about Mihawk, he was my favorite of the bunch to watch, he stole the show when he was on the screen.

I'm iffy on it lol. Trying to translate the cartoony antics of these characters onto flesh and blood humans feels a little off, but I can respect the effort.
