The cost of making each episode of the live-action version of 'One Piece' is more expensive than 'Game of Thrones'

The budget for each episode of Netflix's One Piece (produced by the original series' creator Eiichiro Oda) is up to 18 million USD. The film has a total of 8 episodes. The total budget for the entire project is up to about 150 million USD, equal to a blockbuster movie in theaters.

Meanwhile, the budget for each episode of Game of Thrones , HBO's multi-year blockbuster, does not reach that number. The most expensive Game of Thrones episode cost only $15 million, a figure that has helped the series maintain its title as the most expensive live-action television series for many years.

The live-action One Piece movie is now the most expensive anime television adaptation ever made.

In addition, the amount of money that producers have to spend for each episode of the online series The Mandalorian , the "darling" of the Disney+ platform, is also around 15 million USD.

This time, the online giant Netflix has gone all out to please its fans by putting resources into adapting One Piece to live action, as it doesn't want to repeat the mistakes of its previous half-baked adaptation, Cowboy Bebop . This series was canceled after only one season, and during its run, the show received mixed reactions from the audience.

The cast of One Piece is multi-ethnic. Mexican actor Iñaki Godoy plays Monkey D. Luffy - the legendary Straw Hat captain, American rose Emily Rudd plays Nami, Spanish actor Taz Skylar plays Sanji, American actor Jacob Gibson plays Usopp, British actor Peter Gadiot plays Shanks, Japanese actor Arata Mackenyu plays Roronoa Zoro. All episodes of One Piece are scheduled to air on August 31 this year.
