SEE FIRST TEASERS AND AIR DATES FOR NEW NETFLIX EPIC SERIES ONE PIECE AND AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER

   ONE PIECE TRAILER  

FOR NETFLIX EPIC SERIES

One Piece should arrive this August

Last night Netflix has organised their annual summer event Tudum where they announce their upcoming programmes, but it was not as glitzy as usual as they, let us be honest, do not really have anything interesting to announce. One of the highlights was a trailer for their TV series adaptation of popular manga saga ONE PIECE which looks cheap, trashy and with a rather dull cast on uninteresting faces. To be released August 31st, it takes place on an alternate version of Earth, in the midst of the Golden Age of Pirates. Ruthless cut-throat pirates rule the seas, and only the strongest have the chance to lay claim to the mythical treasure known as ONE PIECE that was left behind by the greatest pirate of them all Gol D. Roger. Years after the death of Gol D. Roger, a young boy by the name of Monkey D. Luffy has dreams of raising his own crew, finding One Piece, and declaring himself as Pirate King.

 

  AVATAR SERIES TRAILER  

THE LAST AIRBENDER

They have also released first character photos from another Asia inspired series AVATAR: THE LAST AIRBENDER which should arrive sometime next year.

Last Airbender will arrive next year

The live-action adaptation of the Nickelodeon anime series which also had a movie version some ten years ago, will revolve around 12-year-old Avatar Aang, the only being able to manipulate all four natural elements, as he journeys to defeat the Fire Lord. The photos reveal Gordon Cormier who stars as Aang, Dallas Liu who portrays Prince Zuko, Kiawentiio as Katar and Ian Ousley as Sokka. The eight episode first season will be record breaking not just for using new LED technology but also because it cost above $120 million, which makes it one of the most expensive Netflix series ever. It follows four nations  named after the elements they control: the Air Nomads, Earth Kingdom, Fire Nation, and the Water Tribes. In each nation, only a select few people known as the “Benders” can use their nation’s element through the regional martial arts and telekinetic powers. The only user capable of using all four elements is the Avatar. After sleeping for 100 years in the ‘Avatar State’, Aang is awoken by Katara and Sokka of the Water Tribe. Learning of the war ravaging the world by the Fire Nation, Aang, with the help of his new friends, must master the abilities of the remaining elements to bring harmony to the nations.
