Piracy is good and you should do more of it. Use https://aniwave.to/ and https://4anime.gg/ for streaming, and https://nyaa.si/ for torrents. Piracy is the only means of digital protest that audiences have to fight poor worker treatment.

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.
