While some live-action adaptations of anime have been successful, others were panned by critics and audiences.
Instead of being called Kakegurui,the live-action series is simply titledBet.
InKakegurui, Yumeko attends Hyakkaou Private Academy because she is addicted to gambling.
ButBethas her on a mission to find out what happened to her parents.
Additionally, the characters in Netflix’s live-action TV show look different from the anime.
All these changes mean that the new series won’t be a copycat of the anime.
Instead, it will take the essence of the source material and add a unique twist to the story.
However, Netflix succeeded in creating a live-action version ofOne Piecethat resonates with longtime fans.
And the main reasonOne Piecebecame so popular is that it is faithful to its source material.
Kakegurui is a Japanese drama series set in an elite high school where student hierarchy is determined by gambling prowess. The plot follows a new transfer student, Yumeko Jabami, whose extreme risk-taking disrupts the established order and challenges the school’s rigid social caste system.
The premise and characters in Netflix’sOne Pieceare carbon copies of the original story.
One Piece follows young pirate Monkey D. Luffy and his diverse crew as they embark on a daring quest for treasure. Released in 2023, the film brings the adventurous world of the popular manga to life, capturing Luffy’s relentless pursuit of the legendary One Piece treasure.
