國際時事跟讀 Ep.K651: One Piece Live-Action Series Shatters Netflix Records, Defying Anime Adaptation 'Curse'
One Piece, the highly-anticipated live-action adaptation of the beloved manga and anime, has achieved a remarkable feat on Netflix, surpassing the records previously held by Wednesday and Stranger Things. This thrilling pirate series, originating from a Japanese cartoon with a rich history, made its debut on the streaming platform just last week.
《海賊王》這部備受期待的真人版改編，源自深受喜愛的漫畫和動畫，已在Netflix上創下了令人驚嘆的成績，超越了之前由《星期三》和《怪奇物語》保持的紀錄。這部激動人心的海盜系列作品源自一部有豐富歷史的日本動畫，上週剛在這個串流媒體平台上首播。
Within the first few days of its release, One Piece has soared to claim the top spot as the most-watched TV series in a staggering 84 countries worldwide. This achievement surpasses the milestones set by season one of Wednesday and season four of Stranger Things, both of which held the number one position in 83 territories during their initial weekend releases.
在首播的前幾天，《海賊王》已在全球84個國家中飆升至觀看次數最多的電視劇排行榜冠軍寶座。這個成績超越了《星期三》第一季和《怪奇物語》第四季所創下的里程碑，這兩部作品在首周末的發布時都曾在83個地區排名第一。
Fans of the series are celebrating One Piece for breaking the "curse" that has often plagued live-action anime adaptations. Netflix has previously attempted to adapt numerous popular anime properties, such as Cowboy Bebop and Death Note, but most have faced criticism from fans and critics alike.
該系列的粉絲們為《航海王》打破了經常困擾真人版動畫改編的「詛咒」而歡呼。Netflix之前曾試圖改編許多受歡迎的動畫作品，如《星際牛仔》和《死亡筆記》，但多數都受到了粉絲和評論家的批評。
Eiichiro Oda, the creator of the original manga on which both the One Piece anime and the new Netflix series are based, expressed his thoughts ahead of the series' release. In an open letter, he reflected on the challenges of adapting the fantastical world of One Piece into live-action and the extensive efforts involved in bringing it to life. Oda acknowledged that there might be criticism, but he believed it would come from those who truly love the source material.
原作漫畫的創作者尾田榮一郎，也是《航海王》動畫和新的Netflix系列的基礎，他在系列首播前表達了他的想法。在一封公開信中，他反思了將《航海王》奇幻世界改編為真人版所面臨的挑戰，以及將其呈現出來所需的大量努力。尾田承認可能會有批評，但他相信這些批評將來自那些真正熱愛原作的人。
The Netflix adaptation features Iñaki Godoy as the series lead, Monkey D Luffy, along with a talented cast including Mackenyu as Roronoa Zoro, Emily Rudd as Nami, Jacob Romero as Usopp, and Taz Skylar as Sanji.
