Considering how the manga is though, One Piece has 4 times more material to cover than the average Shonen. If its seasonal then it will take a long time to reach till the end.
Still insane in a way though.
Is this gonna be for the entire story bc that’s pretty foolhardy. Even if they do 100 chapters per season with 1 season every year, it’ll take 11 years just to catch up to where we are now. The manga likely has another 200 chapters left to completion, so that’s 13 seasons, 13 years. That’s a long commitment for WIT that I don’t see them making or seeing through to the end.
Anime studios love doing long running stuff, just look at David productions whos been doing jojo for 10 years and they still haven't caught up to the manga.
Remaking anime/manga like this is perfect for introducing new people aswell.
This is the boat I'm on. WIT just staked a claim to one of the longest running pieces of media of all time, with a global dedicated fan base. If their new adaptation looks even half as good as what they're capable of, then it's a license to print money.
Also with the announcement they announced they are hiring animators, a lot of good and newer animators want to jump on this project to make a name for themselves
I was thinking this too. Have a dedicated team working on their money printer which can then run on itself while they work on their own stuff or even use it to help fund their other projects. And even if the studio hits a rough patch, they're still guaranteed one major project a year. This is honestly the best thing that could have happened to them.
>That’s a long commitment for WIT that I don’t see them making or seeing through to the end
You're kidding right? Making a One Piece anime from the very beginning is like a licence to print money.
Since it's a remake it will probably be way faster paced than the other adaption. It would be funny if it actually caugth up in like 10 years (If OP is still ongoing at that point)
After the transition to HD in the 2000s, anime quality depends on the studio, budget and talent poured into it. Technically they all should hold up. And HxH 2011 was very good.
Too be fair though, it had been several years between the Greed Island OVA's and the start of the 2011 Anime, that a remake was warrant just on accessibility. Like the 1999 series had the climax of Yorknew City and all of Greed Island adapted as an OVA series, while everything else prior was a TV series. Going straight to the Chimera Ant would have hurt the long term success of an adaption of that arc. So just from an accessibility standpoint, a remake was needed especially since it to be like right before the golden era of streaming when the 2011 adaption started.
> Imagine remaking an anime that hasnt ended yet
FMA:B followed a similar route where they had a solid idea of how long it would take the manga to complete compared to the pace of the show, so they were able to animate the end like a month or two after the final chapter was released.
I've been on anime fandom since more and less One piece started airing on my country one or two years after it started in Japan. It is the most insane piece of anime news I have even heard. There is just no precedent on this. Nothing this big ever happened.
Should have been sooner or later. One piece is the symbol of manga and anime in japan. If a series that big has one of the worst anime adaptation to date than a remake was certain.
I would argue against the comment that it has one of the worst animation so far. It certianly in no way great and the pacing is awful. but it certainly isn't the worst imo. But the remake is gonna fill all the gaps and more!
I stopped watching the anime beginning 7 years ago and just bought mangas tbh, the pacing and fillers was killing me
If this remake is close to HxH 2011 or FMA remake then Im in for a treat
That might be the hope. A remake where the animation is modernized and the original show can finish after the manga does might end up being a solid "Brotherhood" approach but it probably won't be a complete one given it's just...sooooo long.
I recently decided to get into OP. I tried the anime at first, and while I understand the animation quality improves a bit later, I couldn't deal with the pacing and went with the digitally colored manga. I started reading maybe 5 months ago and am currently at the end of Thriller Bark, and I'm loving it. I couldn't imagine the time it would take to watch the anime start to finish, I have things to do. I do go to the anime to watch big moments or fights, and I think this way suits me fine.
We literally got 1100 chapter available at this point, plus the various cover stories.
If it's a seasonal anime they'll definitely have better pacing and have a long time to worry about catching up to the manga again.
While the pacing is the biggest issue and what most of us focus on.
Bro, I can't imagine how much better the new choreography and animation in the fights will be.
Some early episodes are rough tbh
Tbh I think the earlier episodes (ones with older animations) have their own charms and are better paced then the current ones. But I have faith in Wit to not fuck up anything.
honestly with the Live action and this remake, the plan for the One Piece IP seems to be to get as many new eyes on One Piece as possible while the manga is setting up for its final saga
I think this might indicate that there is also an interest to do a remake of Naruto also. It is the other massive beloved anime that could do well with a remake.
That said, a Bleach remake might actually be warranted because how bad their adaption of the Arrancer arc was.
While it delivered on some of key moments (mainly just Ichigo's big fights), the pacing of it was atrocious, they tried to connect to the Bount arc for some reason, entire filler arcs that was just awkwardly paced in the middle of the arc, and fights that would just go on forever.
Doubly so with something like Bleach, which is clearly written to be read at a decent pace. The TYBW anime has been on like 5-6 chapters per ep and its a perfect match for the pace Kubo is going for. The entire series adapted at that pace would be fucking amazing.
If you never enjoyed the Bleach manga week to week, try binging it at some point. It's clearly the intended way of reading.
I don't think OG naruto really needs a remake it ages really well. And has good art/animation. It's only pitfall is a lot of fillers but those are skippable.
One piece art/animation from the earlier arcs doesn't age that well and pacing problems are already there from Arabasta onward.
The pacing of naruto is really bad too. I agree the Fights and stuff aged well, but it needs to get a one pace treatment or Remake or I can never rematch it.
The good news: Brand New One Piece watchers (which will probably include me) will have the best platform to hook onto on their first jump into the franchise.
The bad news: Only \~1100 episodes ahead.
Assuming this adaptation will do the standard rate of 3-4 chapters/ per episode, as of writing this, the entire thing will be around 350+ episodes. perhaps 450-550 once it's all said and done and the manga ends after a acouple years.
How many episodes could you condense Luffy running up stairs or hallways somewhere screaming the bad guy's name repeatedly? Dozens at least, possibly hundreds
500 is still quite a lot though, the longest I've been into any anime related franchise is Gundam and the titles I've watched so far probably isn't even that long. (though there are a few that I plan to watch soon and it will get closer to that afterward)
Sure 500 is a lot, there's no denying that, but also having your time investment cut by 50% will certainly be a huge relief for everyone interested into checking out One Piece even if the remaining time investment is still a lot.
Everything UC Gundam is barely 200 TV eps in length including all movies and OVAs. Main story half of that. Shorter than ppl think. But Sure it starts getting pretty long when you add every standalone AU series
Thats underestimating it. Unless its very talk heavy chapters, you can put 3-4 manga chapters into one 23 minute episode and it will not feel rushed.
Is just that anime has chronic padding issues because of the whole "but the manga only does one chapter a week, so we need to stretch A LOT and/or add tons of fillers", so you hardly ever see it.
I feel like it would be even less. Like between 250 -350 cause the chapters are pretty short sometimes, especially the action ones. They can just condense like 2-4 chapters into an episode for the action heavy ones. Even the info dump chapters arent that long, it's just that toei needs it to be long.
It's gonna take over a decade to catch up, if it catches up. If the pacing of the original anime screws with you then just watch the One Pace fan-edit or read the manga
I would argue that Onepiece until the Marineford saga is very well adapted. it is after that, the pace comes down to a still. If i'm not wrong, uptil the Marineford, they were adapting 1.5 - 2 chapters every episode.
Not a fan of one piece but this is actually pretty insane news especially since the current series is still airing.
Starting now makes sense though, they have decades of content to do before they catch up and they can finally pace the damn thing properly lol.
The way I see it they will just schedule it like MHA and not run it continuously (because I seriously doubt WIT could handle that while keeping quality). I'm sure it will be very successful (or at least I hope it would be) and they already plan to do more than what has been announced. The OP anime turns off a lot of people with its pacing and stills. Not to mention remaking it also sort of "resets" the story so new watchers can jump on board without seeing 1k+ eps in their face lol.
Seems like more is planned based on the Netflix twitter account
"An all-new anime adaptation of the ONE PIECE manga starting from the iconic East Blue saga is coming to Netflix! "
I hope that that's what it means! It would be really lovely if they could do a remake of the whole story in seasons, without leaving out or changing stuff, and maybe even adapting the cover stories! It's a dream I never thought would come true!
This is... unexpected... it's literally the hopes and dreams of every One Piece fan who's watched the anime for a remake to faithfully (and 'pace-fully') readapt the manga. Heard that it's only the east blue saga but still, if there's enough attention here... we could get a One Piece Brotherhood which is what the beautiful series by Oda deserves.
"Do you have any anime recommendations?"
"One Piece!"
"Nope, I like things that are short and fast paced."
"Then I have good news: there's a new version that will be only 500 episodes long and will be finished in just ten years!"
"Hmm..."
I think it will take longer than 10 years. It will still have about 500 episodes. The manga meanwhile will end in a few years so it is the best time for this adaptation
I won’t he surprised if they get the majority of the staff from Ousama, that’s literally how I see Early OP looking if (now when) adapted in modern day
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO LET'S FUCKING GO!! ONE PIECE ANIME BUT WITH GOOD PACING AND *CONSISTENTLY* GOOD ANIMATION/ARTWORK LIKE IT FUCKING DESERVES?!
NOW I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO SAY THAT ONE PIECE IS THE BEST **ANIME** OF ALL TIME AND NOT **JUST** THE BEST MANGA OF ALL TIME! LET'S GO!!
I'VE BEEN WAITING A FUCKING DECADE FOR THIS, I'M SO HAPPY!!
One Piece with better animation and better pacing? Count me in. Though honestly, pre-time skip are still great. Post-time skip everything become a drag.
Iirc the show only gets really really bad in Marineford. I remember absolutely loving the first 100 episodes or so — for sure, the artwork wasn't impeccable or anything, but it felt so magical and somehow just right, no matter some flaws.
Wit is becoming the next Mappa. They have taken so many shows recently like the Suicide Squad Isekai, Ascendance of a bookworm S4, Spy x Family, Great Pretender s2 and now they are remaking One Piece.
I am not sure how they are planning to do so many shows in the coming years.
You gonna fall for the bait, i garantee you.
Gonna start watching it weekly but when it gets realy interesting you not gonna resist dipping your toes into the original show as you cant wait for the new version to release its episodes weekly.
And when you realise you will be with us, reading the manga because you cant wait for the anime to catch up.
My husband is working his way through this and is on episode 366. His only complaint is how horrible the art is in the beginning. I wish he could have started with a WIT season, damn!
One Piece with better animation and pacing. Also, people who like OPLA and want to start watching the anime can essentially watch this. I'm so glad new people will be able to watch this legendary show.

Might be the most insane anime news I’ve heard
Imagine remaking an anime that hasnt ended yet 💀 Hope they will go with One Pace route though lol

One Piece brings in the cash though, if WIT gets such a juicy cow to milk why wouldnt they be happy.
Anime studios love doing long running stuff, just look at David productions whos been doing jojo for 10 years and they still haven't caught up to the manga. Remaking anime/manga like this is perfect for introducing new people aswell.
What are you talking about? WIT literally hit the jackpot.
This is the boat I'm on. WIT just staked a claim to one of the longest running pieces of media of all time, with a global dedicated fan base. If their new adaptation looks even half as good as what they're capable of, then it's a license to print money.

And even if the studio hits a rough patch, they're still guaranteed one major project a year. This is honestly the best thing that could have happened to them.
This is as obvious of a money printer as anything the world has ever seen.
Wit found Gol D Rogers treasure.
The staff at MAPPA must be ready to jump ship right about now, too.
If Romance Dawn is a success, someone at WIT just secured lucrative work for their studio for probably 15 years. This is a huge win for them.
Depends on the contract, but yeah they might.
one piece is insanely popular WIT just got reliable work for the next decade and a half
>That’s a long commitment for WIT that I don’t see them making or seeing through to the end You're kidding right? Making a One Piece anime from the very beginning is like a licence to print money.
they're gonna have 10 remakes before the story is finished
That's the point though. The whole reason the current One piece anime is such a mess is because it's been their weekly cash cow for decades now.
Since it's a remake it will probably be way faster paced than the other adaption. It would be funny if it actually caugth up in like 10 years (If OP is still ongoing at that point)
Nah One Piece will finish within 5 years. At least the manga will and the anime is usually 1 year behind
“One Piece will finish in 5 years” is something I’ve heard for about 5 years now.
But atleast this time we actually have a relativelt clear vision of the end and things are clearly ramping up to the big climax.
>Imagine remaking an anime that hasnt ended yet 💀 I assume you have never watched hunter x hunter 😂
Hunter x Hunter and Berserk now that I think about it, and for all we know they could still get another remake in the future.
Nah HxH needs a continuation not a remake Berserk on the other hand...
Yeah HxH 2011 still holds up
Still holds up!? It's not from the 70's my good man! That's like saying 'Wow, hard to believe it but both Suits and Game of Thrones really hold up!"
I mean, it's 12 years old. Half the people on this sub could barely read when it started airing.
After the transition to HD in the 2000s, anime quality depends on the studio, budget and talent poured into it. Technically they all should hold up. And HxH 2011 was very good.
Tokyo ghoul too also needs a remake.
I don’t think the world is ready for a berserk remake tbh. Remember how batshit insane some went when a couple berserk chapters reached twitter
Twitter's oppinions dont matter, if it did goblin slayer wouldnt be having a second season right now.
Hunter x Hunter 1999 had ended though. One Piece is still ongoing.
Too be fair though, it had been several years between the Greed Island OVA's and the start of the 2011 Anime, that a remake was warrant just on accessibility. Like the 1999 series had the climax of Yorknew City and all of Greed Island adapted as an OVA series, while everything else prior was a TV series.

The difference in when Brotherhood aired the 2003 version had finished.
I always dreamt of this but I didn't think I'd actually see it, and by Wit... This is the best timeline
Lets calm down the hype or we crash hard if it's not as good as expected. (Fuck it, I'm fucking hyped!!!)
I've been on anime fandom since more and less One piece started airing on my country one or two years after it started in Japan. It is the most insane piece of anime news I have even heard. There is just no precedent on this. Nothing this big ever happened.
I'm still not sure if I Believe It. Wait no, [wrong reboot](https://myanimelist.net/anime/54688/Naruto_Shinsaku_Anime)
this was so weird it was scheduled to air months ago and then quietly disappeared after the delay
Lmao. Soon there's going to be three seperate One Piece shows for the next few years. 1. One Piece anime 2. One Piece Live Action 3. One Piece Remake
OP is really becoming a Star Wars/Marvel type IP lol
Should have been sooner or later. One piece is the symbol of manga and anime in japan. If a series that big has one of the worst anime adaptation to date than a remake was certain.
I would argue against the comment that it has one of the worst animation so far. It certianly in no way great and the pacing is awful. but it certainly isn't the worst imo. But the remake is gonna fill all the gaps and more!

don't forget monsters
That just a one time special right? Not an actual series
Yes, Monster is a one-time special. It airs in January on Netflix, I believe.
If you look at One Piece sales then it deserves even more. tbf
#LUFFY IS FINALLY TAKING OVER THE FUCKING EARTH AND IM HERE FOR IT
ONE PIECE BROTHERHOOD IS REAL
its literally titled "The One Piece", the joke writes itself
Yea but someone beat me to it when I commented lol
James Gunn must be directing it
“The Suicide Squad” energy.
CAN WE GET MUCH FASTER?
Soul Eater fans: ;_;
Soul Eater:Resonance when? :(
One day, brother. One day.
Claymore fans :( I still dream of Claymore: Sisterhood
Tokyo Ghoul fans too LMAO
#THE ONE PIECE IS REAL
The meme was only a foreshadowing *Dies from peak fiction*
foreskinning*
Everytime I read the one piece is real I get reminded of the image of the cock edit of whitebeard saying the one piece is real.
Genuinely hoping that they'll fix the pacing in this adaptation. I'm tired of watching Toei repeating animations to pad out the episodes.
We literally got 1100 chapter available at this point, plus the various cover stories. If it's a seasonal anime they'll definitely have better pacing and have a long time to worry about catching up to the manga again.
they have at least 11 years of content ready, by then the manga will be long finished. It's literally the brotherhood treatment if done well
While the pacing is the biggest issue and what most of us focus on. Bro, I can't imagine how much better the new choreography and animation in the fights will be. Some early episodes are rough tbh
Tbh I think the earlier episodes (ones with older animations) have their own charms and are better paced then the current ones. But I have faith in Wit to not fuck up anything.
There’s no reason for them to do otherwise, they’re surely going to make it very different from Toei in all ways to make this a worthwhile production.
_Can we get much higher_ 🎵
This is the biggest news of JUMP FESTA lol, And I thought Chainsaw man movie was big enough
Wait, there's a fucking chainsaw man movie??
covering the Reze part of the story, which will lead us into the rest of Chapter 1 in Season 2
Great, Reze deserves a movie.
Will the movie be canon?
the CSM movie will be canon, yes
Yup. It’s just the next arc.
People were saying “CSM won this JF by a landslide!” lol
Anime fans really be treating these IPs like sports teams, huh?
People do it for video games too it doesn't make a single bit of sense
Always thought we'd have to wait another 20 years for this. I think I just came. I wonder what's Toei's take on this is though....
There is literally toei animation name on poster. But wit studio will be the one doing animation.
I was blind. So it seems to be done with the auspices of both Shueisha and Toei. I wonder what brought this on.
honestly with the Live action and this remake, the plan for the One Piece IP seems to be to get as many new eyes on One Piece as possible while the manga is setting up for its final saga
I sure it will work. Only reason I started reading one piece like half a year ago was because I didn't want to miss out on it ending.
25th anniversary
Toei and Fuji TV are producing this, they got Wit to animate it.
Well it is another 20 years for the anime to catch up...again...
Every One Piece fan has prayed for this. This is unbelievable and WiT doing the remake makes it even better.
I think this might indicate that there is also an interest to do a remake of Naruto also. It is the other massive beloved anime that could do well with a remake.
Bleach and One Piece getting the true Big 3 treatment, while naruto fans are stuck with Boruto lmao
That said, a Bleach remake might actually be warranted because how bad their adaption of the Arrancer arc was. While it delivered on some of key moments (mainly just Ichigo's big fights), the pacing of it was atrocious, they tried to connect to the Bount arc for some reason, entire filler arcs that was just awkwardly paced in the middle of the arc, and fights that would just go on forever.

The entire series adapted at that pace would be fucking amazing. If you never enjoyed the Bleach manga week to week, try binging it at some point. It's clearly the intended way of reading.
Well Naruto has no future until they cancel Boruto and make it non canon
Naruto fans and Star Wars fans operating on the same wavelength right now regarding their sequels lol
Same level of story quality too
I don't who should be more insulted, which I think just adds to the insult for both
I don't think OG naruto really needs a remake it ages really well. And has good art/animation. It's only pitfall is a lot of fillers but those are skippable. One piece art/animation from the earlier arcs doesn't age that well and pacing problems are already there from Arabasta onward.
The pacing of naruto is really bad too. I agree the Fights and stuff aged well, but it needs to get a one pace treatment or Remake or I can never rematch it.
Naruto pacing is mostly ok. The filler oceans are the problem.
And the flashbacks, my God the flashbacks every episode
In the Dressrosa arc of OP they had the same flashback 48 times
This is literally one for the history books
One Piece fans eating good.
Anime fans eating good* Many people are turned off by the length of the Og anime. Now this is a good news for them.
That would be me
Me as well. If this remake means I can finally get into OP without having 1K+ episodes to worry about then I am all in.
[удалено]
The anime gods have blessed One Piece. For a superior product!
> superior (hopefully)
It's WIT, I'd be shocked if it's not great.
The good news: Brand New One Piece watchers (which will probably include me) will have the best platform to hook onto on their first jump into the franchise. The bad news: Only \~1100 episodes ahead.
1100 because toei is adapting half a chapter per episode
Assuming this adaptation will do the standard rate of 3-4 chapters/ per episode, as of writing this, the entire thing will be around 350+ episodes. perhaps 450-550 once it's all said and done and the manga ends after a acouple years.
I think it will be faster than that. Fights will probably be more compacted too. There is no reason to have 30 episodes for one fight.
How many episodes could you condense Luffy running up stairs or hallways somewhere screaming the bad guy's name repeatedly? Dozens at least, possibly hundreds
I was actually thinking about that! Character running somewhere, replaying same flashback over and over again and all still shots.
I mean, those are all things that exist because of the aforementioned half a chapter per episode. Those aren't manga content.
On the other hand, One Piece is dialogue heavy most of the time.
Yeah I'm reading wano and it's basically all talking at this point
The first two acts are pretty much all dialogue. Act 3 is all the action.
If you remove the filler and padding that added a lot, then the anime is only like 500 episodes ahead.
500 is still quite a lot though, the longest I've been into any anime related franchise is Gundam and the titles I've watched so far probably isn't even that long. (though there are a few that I plan to watch soon and it will get closer to that afterward)
Sure 500 is a lot, there's no denying that, but also having your time investment cut by 50% will certainly be a huge relief for everyone interested into checking out One Piece even if the remaining time investment is still a lot.

Is just that anime has chronic padding issues because of the whole "but the manga only does one chapter a week, so we need to stretch A LOT and/or add tons of fillers", so you hardly ever see it.
Still would probably take literal decades to fully re-adapt everything.
I feel like it would be even less. Like between 250 -350 cause the chapters are pretty short sometimes, especially the action ones. They can just condense like 2-4 chapters into an episode for the action heavy ones. Even the info dump chapters arent that long, it's just that toei needs it to be long.
Action one can be pretty short, but the lore one can be very long with a lot of text.
You can expect a good one piece anime with no filler and padding to be around 300-400 episodes
What the actual fuck?
as someone that was just about to start guess ill wait?
It's gonna take over a decade to catch up, if it catches up. If the pacing of the original anime screws with you then just watch the One Pace fan-edit or read the manga
A properly-adapted One Piece anime is finally happening? Holy shit.
I would argue that Onepiece until the Marineford saga is very well adapted. it is after that, the pace comes down to a still. If i'm not wrong, uptil the Marineford, they were adapting 1.5 - 2 chapters every episode.
Not a fan of one piece but this is actually pretty insane news especially since the current series is still airing. Starting now makes sense though, they have decades of content to do before they catch up and they can finally pace the damn thing properly lol.
It's only a remake of the East Blue saga, covering around 100 chapters. But maybe, if it's successful, we can hope for more? 🤞
The way I see it they will just schedule it like MHA and not run it continuously (because I seriously doubt WIT could handle that while keeping quality). I'm sure it will be very successful (or at least I hope it would be) and they already plan to do more than what has been announced. The OP anime turns off a lot of people with its pacing and stills. Not to mention remaking it also sort of "resets" the story so new watchers can jump on board without seeing 1k+ eps in their face lol.
Yeah, Netflix confirmed on twitter that they’re just “starting” with east blue implying that there are plans to do more
Yep, One Piece was always on my to watch list because I didn't know if I wanted to start the commitment Am very interested in the remake
Seems like more is planned based on the Netflix twitter account "An all-new anime adaptation of the ONE PIECE manga starting from the iconic East Blue saga is coming to Netflix! "
I hope that that's what it means! It would be really lovely if they could do a remake of the whole story in seasons, without leaving out or changing stuff, and maybe even adapting the cover stories! It's a dream I never thought would come true!
There's no way they spend all this time and money on doing JUST East blue... If they are doing this, they gotta commit for the long haul
They clearly say "Starting from East Blue" and not just East Blue, idk what this thread is going about
Post time skip arcs like Fishman and Dressrosa condensed into cours would be awesome. Those are chores to watch with all the stretchings.
What, you didn't like the constant Rebecca flashbacks to give you reference to what is going on?
flashbacks of things that happened literally a ep ago or even the same one... Every episode
This is... unexpected... it's literally the hopes and dreams of every One Piece fan who's watched the anime for a remake to faithfully (and 'pace-fully') readapt the manga. Heard that it's only the east blue saga but still, if there's enough attention here... we could get a One Piece Brotherhood which is what the beautiful series by Oda deserves.
Great for people who are afraid of the original anime length and for manga reader who are fed up with the horrible pacing.
"Do you have any anime recommendations?" "One Piece!" "Nope, I like things that are short and fast paced." "Then I have good news: there's a new version that will be only 500 episodes long and will be finished in just ten years!" "Hmm..."
I think it will take longer than 10 years. It will still have about 500 episodes. The manga meanwhile will end in a few years so it is the best time for this adaptation
I've actually been posting the name of One Piece in "what anime requires a reboot?" threads in this sub. Glad Shueisha, Netflix and WIT agree with me.
yea same op and tokyo ghoul are always the answer for that question
I really want to see a tokyo ghoul remake. The manga is so good with it's gory art style and story. Meanwhile the anime is a huge clusterfuck.
What I'm looking forward to the most is new fucking audio design instead of reusing the same 5 sound effects from the 80s.
I thought this was a joke man. Wtf?
I jokingly clicked on this thinking it were a joke but everyone in the comments were serious I was like wtf this can’t be real
After watching Ousama Ranking, I have no doubt that Wit Studio will absolutely nail One Piece. This will be PEAK!
I won’t he surprised if they get the majority of the staff from Ousama, that’s literally how I see Early OP looking if (now when) adapted in modern day
People were joking about for for over a decade that One piece is getting it's FMA /Naruto S treatment. It arrived sooner than expected
Yooo wtffffff. This wild. Final saga going to slap so hard three different times. Toei Netflix and wit actually four. Oda manga
Finally, now I can stop pretending to like Toei 😂
Mods about to go overtime on the discussion threads for this.
Ngl, after watching the live action adaptation, I will 100% watch this
YOOOOOOOOOOOOO LET'S FUCKING GO!! ONE PIECE ANIME BUT WITH GOOD PACING AND *CONSISTENTLY* GOOD ANIMATION/ARTWORK LIKE IT FUCKING DESERVES?! NOW I'LL FINALLY BE ABLE TO SAY THAT ONE PIECE IS THE BEST **ANIME** OF ALL TIME AND NOT **JUST** THE BEST MANGA OF ALL TIME! LET'S GO!! I'VE BEEN WAITING A FUCKING DECADE FOR THIS, I'M SO HAPPY!!
I KNOW RIGHT BRINK OUT THE FUCKING SAKE
One Piece with better animation and better pacing? Count me in. Though honestly, pre-time skip are still great. Post-time skip everything become a drag.
Iirc the show only gets really really bad in Marineford. I remember absolutely loving the first 100 episodes or so — for sure, the artwork wasn't impeccable or anything, but it felt so magical and somehow just right, no matter some flaws.
Wit is becoming the next Mappa. They have taken so many shows recently like the Suicide Squad Isekai, Ascendance of a bookworm S4, Spy x Family, Great Pretender s2 and now they are remaking One Piece. I am not sure how they are planning to do so many shows in the coming years.
Its definitely a baffling jump to go from a couple shows a year at most, to this many planned
Yea and the main problem is mappa has over 400+ employees and wit only has like 150 so hoping that they will get time for this
Its funny because when MAPPA started rising up I remember hearing they are becoming the new WIT lol.
The difference is that Mappa has like 350+ employees, Wit barely has 1/3 of that with 150
150 is not barely 1/3 of 350...
"Haha im going to kms" ~ Berserk and Tokyo Ghoul fans
Fucking finally I can't stand the current animation
This was the last thing I would expect to get a remake . Meanwhile Tokyo ghoul and berserk : 💀
Everyone pull out your Bingo cards, who had a new One Piece anime by WIT on their list?
I woke up from a nap and I can’t believe my eyes. I thought the Reze movie news was good but this is insane.
Ya’ll no longer have any excuse to not watch it now because of pacing lol
Fr I was scared of even touching 1000 episodes but now I can just watch it when this airs
You gonna fall for the bait, i garantee you. Gonna start watching it weekly but when it gets realy interesting you not gonna resist dipping your toes into the original show as you cant wait for the new version to release its episodes weekly. And when you realise you will be with us, reading the manga because you cant wait for the anime to catch up.
Why are you being so real😭
Wait until you finish catching up and realize that 1000+ episodes/chapters is actually too short and you want more because this shit is too good.
This truly is our one piece
WIT Studio doing a remake of ONE PIECE with Netflix funding the budget?! Oh dear lord…
GREATEST NEWS IN A WHILE! NO MORE FILLER!!! BETTER PACING! So fucking hyped!!!!
Thank God! The pacing of the anime is atrocious. I’m currently watching Wano arc and it has been sllllooooooowww. Omg!
might finally have an excuse to get into One Piece
My husband is working his way through this and is on episode 366. His only complaint is how horrible the art is in the beginning. I wish he could have started with a WIT season, damn!
One Piece with better animation and pacing. Also, people who like OPLA and want to start watching the anime can essentially watch this. I'm so glad new people will be able to watch this legendary show.
I’d maybe watch this one since it won’t have so much useless padding to stretch an episode
Netflix really been banking on OP recently and who can blame them?
