Review written by someone not familiar with the originals clearly. Which would be fine if they didn’t compare back to it constantly.
The problem with the Bebop adaptation was it needlessly changed pretty core things about the characters, and rewrote the ending entirely. It totally changed a bunch of the themes as a result. So you had something wearing Bebop’s skin, but it moved all wrong.
The One Piece adaptation seems to at least get that part right… But it is ultimately a cartoon plot, a lot of the motivations and story aren’t that complex. That doesn’t work for everyone, and clearly not for the reviewer. But we’ll have to see how the wider audience reacts.
