One Piece fans divided over Netflix adaptation?
In the past few decades, One Piece has witnessed a major evolution. Its anime version came out two years after the manga, featuring more than 1,100 episodes.
Two years ago, Netflix launched its own live-action remake in 2023. It is now gearing up for the fantasy adventure series' second season.
Talking about One Piece novel Heroines getting made into an anime show, several fans have taken to social media platforms to express their views over the matter, while some shared spinoffs which they hoped could get the adaptation treatment instead.
'They should animate the Ace manga/novel. That would be so good with a proper studio behind it. And Boichi's style translates well into shonen," read a post on Reddit.
Another one said that they could think about the 'Law novel too.'
A third user added, 'They'll adapt anything other than Shokugeki no Sanji.'
One person hoped that more of the novels get adapted in future. "Surprised it's taken them this long really. You just know fans would eat up an adaptation of the Ace novel/manga," they wrote.
An individual said people really "can't wait for when they adapt Ace's, Law's, and Zoro's novels.'

King Yella falls off chair as he passes out on camera after drinking too much
Chicago rapper King Yella's latest interview did not exactly have a smooth ending. The No Love City artist sat down with YouTube's Cam Capone News for what ended up being a two-hour conversation, posted Monday, August 11. Throughout the chat, Yella kept a bottle of Crown Royal close by, taking swigs in between questions. By the time the conversation hit the two-hour mark, the liquor had clearly caught up with him. King Yella collapses mid-interview(YouTube/ Cam Campone) As the interview wound down, Capone pulled up footage of Tory Lanez being stabbed during a prison fight in May - something Yella said he had not heard about before. Watching the clip, he reacted bluntly: 'He's stabbing the shit out his eye,' referring to inmate Santino Casio attacking Lanez. King Yella falls off chair Yella took one last drink, set the bottle on the table, and then grimaced. He started pounding his chest, looking like he was in pain. When Capone asked what he thought of the video, Yella could only manage a 'bro' and 'What the f**k?' before coughing hard and falling straight out of his chair. The camera crew jumped up to help him. The video cuts before showing what happened next, but the clip quickly spread online. Some viewers found it funny, which did not sit well with Yella. On Instagram Stories, he fired back: 'Yall think everything a joke I hate the internet yall be so fuqed up on my soul,' reports Complex. Tory Lanez prison stabbing The video Yella was reacting to was disturbing in its own right. Lanez - real name Daystar Peterson - is serving a ten-year sentence for shooting Megan Thee Stallion in 2020. In May, he was stabbed 14 times at the California Correctional Institution. Following the attack, he was transferred to the California Men's Colony. Casio, the inmate who attacked him, claimed it was self-defense and said he thought Lanez had a weapon in his pocket, per Complex. Lanez's legal team and family have been pushing for his release since the incident. Also read: Tory Lanez case: Megan Thee Stallion was not shot? New bodycam video emerges FAQs: 1.

Malin Ackerman says her role in Netflix's The Hunting Wives is inspired by Melania Trump
Malin Ackerman said in an interview last week that her new Netflix series, The Hunting Wives, used first lady Melania Trump as a main reference for her role as a manipulative politician's wife who has affairs. Malin Ackerman said the creative team told her to think of Melania Trump when playing Margo(Instagram/@malinakerman, Melania Trump/ Facebook) Speaking to Vulture, Ackerman said the creative team told her to think of the first lady when playing Margo, a Texas housewife married to a wealthy aspiring politician with a past involving murder, adultery and abortion. 'During filming, she says, the series' creative team described Margo as a bit like Melania Trump, someone who 'came into a marriage to this rich man as one woman,' then finds the expectations for her have shifted once he becomes politically ambitious,' per the outlet. 'That was the only reference, really,' Ackerman added. Her character's past includes growing up poor, doing sex work, and having multiple affairs. 'But once her husband, Jed (Dermot Mulroney), decides to run for governor on a pro-gun, anti-abortion, happy-marriage platform, Margo realises the increased public scrutiny could threaten everything she has built for herself, exposing elements of her life Jed's voters won't like,' Vulture stated. Among the secrets are 'the abortion she just had after her boyfriend, a high school student, got her pregnant; the murder she committed to cover up that fling; and the affair she's currently having with new-to-town Sophie (Brittany Snow).' Ackerman said she also drew inspiration from her impression of 'high society' types, who she sees as lacking authenticity. Also Read: Is Netflix's 'The Hunting Wives' based on a real story? Everything we know about the thriller 'Other than that, it's just high society. I've mingled with aristocrats and high-society people and seen the games that go into it. For lack of a better word, I wouldn't say 'authenticity' is how those people lead,' she said. She described Margo as a 'survivor' who acts out of necessity to get ahead. Melania Trump's lawyer forces Carville to pull Epstein remarks Melania Trump has often been a focus of media attention since her husband's 2016 presidential campaign. Last week, her lawyer forced Democratic strategist James Carville and his Politics War Room podcast team to remove comments suggesting she met Donald Trump through a modelling agency linked to Jeffrey Epstein. At the start of the episode, Carville said, 'After the episode, we received a letter from Melania Trump's lawyer. He took issue with our title of one of those YouTube videos from that episode and a couple of comments I made about the first lady. We took a look at what they complained about, and we took down the video and edited out those comments from the episode. I also take back these statements and apologise.'
