[102] Hardcore Gamer said it has an "uncanny ability to leave its players slack-jawed at the sights of the unraveling plot points. "[103] Destructoid
praised its art style and well thought out story. [104] The media focused on the art style and character designs, which they felt helped to easily tell apart characters and enjoy their interactions with leads. [104][105][106][107][108] A major praise in regards to the narrative are the twists revealed through class trial like Nagito Komaeda's true character in Goodbye Despair or Kaede Akamatsu's last action in Killing Harmony. [109] This
also led to articles focused on the game's strongest characters based on intelligence or major role in the series. [110][111] However, the trials have often received criticism for being easy to solve. [112][107] The latest game, Killing Harmony, attracted divisive comments from fans due to its ending which involves the characters being aware of their fictional nature and the emotional catharisis they have suffered as a result of the series' popularity. [113][114][115] The cast in general was well received with several of them often being the subject of cosplay based on their distinctive designs, with multiple favoriting Junko Enoshima and series' mascot Monokuma. [101] In November 2019, a Monokuma costume created controversy in Austin, Texas, after drag queen Erika Klash was denied entry to a Whataburger while dressed as the character, after performing in-character at the Austin International Drag Festival at the club Elysium for five years. Klash later received an apology from a Whataburger representative over the incident, both in-person and on Twitter. [116][117] The reveal in the first game of one characters' gender, who had been cross-dressing, received mixed reception from some critics, who called the discovery "a cheap plot device".
The films are typically released in March to coincide with the spring vacation of Japanese schools. [61] The films feature self-contained, completely original plots, or alternate retellings of story arcs with animation of a higher quality than what the weekly anime allows. The first three films were typically double features paired up with other anime films, and were thus, usually an hour or less in length. The films themselves offer contradictions in both chronology and design that make them incompatible with a single continuity. Funimation has licensed the eighth, tenth, and twelfth films for release in North America, and these films have received in-house dubs by the company. [62][63] Live-action series Main article: One Piece (2023 TV series) On July 21, 2017, Weekly Shōnen Jump editor-in-chief Hiroyuki Nakano announced that Tomorrow Studios (a partnership between Marty Adelstein and ITV Studios) and Shueisha
would commence production of an American live-action television adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's One Piece manga series as part of the series' 20th anniversary celebrations. [64][65] Eiichiro Oda served as
executive producer for the series alongside Tomorrow Studios CEO Adelstein and Becky Clements. [65] The series would reportedly begin with the East Blue arc. [66] In January 2020, Oda revealed that Netflix ordered a first season consisting of ten episodes. [67] On May 19, 2020, producer Marty Adelstein revealed during an interview with SyFy Wire, that the series was originally set to begin filming in Cape Town sometime around August, but has since been delayed to around September due to COVID-19. He also revealed that, during the same interview, all ten scripts had been written for the series and they were set to begin casting sometime in June.
