This is surprisingly silly, amazing, and depressing (with the tone) all at the same time.

Just got home from watching Eternals.
I overall liked it quite a lot. I like the meditation on grander concepts than your average superhero fair and the general scope of the story and threat, and the characters were all engaging and interesting. It doesn't quite hit the mark on all the things it's attempting and it lacks that wow-factor that I find in my favourite movies in the genere, and the colors are way too dull. But I overall had a lot of fun with it.
The cameo heavy post-credit scenes are quite a treat too.

In an effort to remain positive, I'll say I don't mind the casting too much so far for the most part. Luffy's actor has the right energy for it. Nami and Usopp's are fine. Neutral on Sanji's. Only Zoro's really seems off to me really lol.
I still can't even begin to visualize what this will even look like though.
I'm certain that they can give good performances and convey the characters just fine through live action acting (probably a bit different than in the manga/anime but that's to be expected).
What I'm mainly concerned about is the visuals. The aesthetic of One Piece is so very cartoonish that picturing it in live action just doesn't compute for me. But here's hoping that they can pull it off. That would be a really nice surprise.
Ichigo: What even *are* you?!
Kenpachi: Some say my mother was a train. Some say that I'm a rejected Godzilla monster too strong for the series canon. But everyone says: I'M THE KEEEEENPACHIIIIII!!!!
Never attribute to malice what could just as easily be stupidity.
They've said several times that "We didn't know what we were doing back in the early days" so the fact that this contradicts the 2nd episode of the series isn't surprising.
Ironically, Zoro's actor is probably the one that the people here are most familiar with, as he was Enishi in those Kenshin movies.
(He's also Sonny Chiba's son, interestingly)
As someone with zero familiarity with any of these characters, the first one sounds the most interesting.

Edens Zero: God, this was a depressing chapter. spoilers:end of spoilers I reiterate: when Mashima claimed that this manga would be darker than Fairy Tail, he was not joking.
Not even Rebecca's Cat Leaper abilities can undo the damage and her constant attempts are literally causing her body to break down

And...I realized Tekken Chinmi is being mentioned.
God, that series is awesome but so hard to find scans of (though it is kinda surfacing a bit last I recalled).
Last I recalled reading of the first series, Chinmi trained to harden his body to no sell pressure points to decent success (like it wasn't perfect but it does work), and struggled against the guy who specialize in it...then Chinmi in sheer anger tanked the guy's attacks before outright breaking his fingers.
...And Chinmi just gets better from there.
It's been making the rounds on and off. The issue is there's such a lot of it but it's also niche no scans groups tend not to stick with it for very long.
And yes, it's a really fun series. The early series has a lot of Chinmi being like "my potential and speed of learning is kind of bottomless, I trained for 16 hours straight and now I'm notably better," but, critically, that kind of growth feeling unearned, obnoxious or lame.
I also liked the sequel series when he's older and it's like "Chinmi as a teacher, full-fledged master and actually becoming a legend in the wider world,"
The Naval Rebellion Arc and the Kanan War Arc are both utterly superb bits of work.
