(CNN) — “One Piece” está basada en una de las series de manga más populares de todos los tiempos, con un cuarto de siglo de historia a cuestas. Y si aún no te has familiarizado con ella, esta serie de acción real de Netflix sobre la extravagante aventura pirata parece un mal lugar para empezar, ofreciendo escasos incentivos para esforzarte en tratar de ponerte al día ahora.En cambio, la primera temporada de ocho episodios cae presa de los escollos asociados al intento de trasladar una forma de arte muy diferente a la vida real, un reto que Netflix ya experimentó con la efímera “Cowboy Bebop”. Las dificultades se manifiestan en el tono alocado de “One Piece”, que en algunos momentos parece una serie infantil, un sueño surrealista filtrado por la mente del director David Lynch y una película de “Piratas del Caribe” producida bajo el efecto de drogas alucinógenas.Taylor Swift logra con su película de “Eras Tour” romper e...

HOUSTON — Hours before Austin Wells and Jasson Domínguez made their major league debuts for the Yankees, the former said the latter wouldn’t be intimated by Justin Verlander, the Astros’ starter on Friday night.“From the first time I played with him, he is unfazed by really anything,” Wells said of Domínguez. “So I mean, for him, facing Verlander, he probably doesn’t even care. It’s just another arm on the mound.”Lo and behold, Domínguez homered off Verlander with the very first swing of his very first at-bat, taking the right-hander into the Crawford Boxes at Minute Maid Park. The 20-year-old’s first-inning, two-run blast off the 40-year-old, future Hall of Famer gave the Yankees a three-run lead after DJ LeMahieu led the game off with a solo homer.The explosive first inning paved the way for a 6-2, series-opening win for the Yankees.Domínguez’s home run also showed why he has received endless ...
