There's no way this works, OPM is so over the top and ridiculous that the action just cannot translate to live-action.

it also is specifically a parody and homage to shonen anime and its tropes. All of the visual gags involve absurdly overpowered monsters and creatures getting easily obliterated by a funny bald guy. How can you do this live action for an english speaking audience? Doesn't make any sense

I think the english-speaking audience is definitely a smaller concern, anecdotally a lot of people I know who generally don't watch anime have seen it and loved it. But yeah, good luck having a live-action Boros fight.

One Piece was actually excellent. If you did it the same way then it could work.

I have absolutely zero faith that they will pull it off though, especially with these people.
