'One Piece' Anime Gets Remake by WIT Studio

Netflix finds the weirdest ways to earn money lol.

What next.. remaking Pokemon???

Sorry but I don't get this. There are plenty of anime remakes and they were years apart from one another.

Already said this in another thread, but the prospect of Wit Studio releasing seasonal instalments of a 1000+ episode long series is still comical and highly unlikely. It very obviously looks to be an ONA in the same vein as Pluto, where a batch (or batches) of feature-length episodes are released simultaneously on Netflix.

This remake might be for people like me specifically:

- Likes WIT Studio
- Knows nothing about One Piece, other than it's popular and looooong
- Only vaguely interested in One Piece, and getting into the anime or the manga in 2023 feels impossibly daunting
- Zero interest in live-action One Piece, despite the universal praise; the trailers just look terrible to me

You have my attention.

This is just not sustainable btw. One Piece would take hundreds of episodes to adapt, so if they want to keep a high production quality, it'd take them like another 20 years to do it all. That's assuming they'll keep a schedule to allow for constant high quality, otherwise, what even is the point of remaking a show that isn't even finished?

@Ionliosite2 They are releasing around 25 episodes per season, improving animation quality and pacing. The plan would be to make it more watchable for the general public, its not "not sustainable". And they arent going to do the whole series they would probably stop around the time skip

@jorel262 Very smart move from Netflix - this will be exclusive to their platform (or they will get paid if it gets broadcast elsewhere), and by starting over from the beginning it's going to rope in a TON of fans of the live action and casual anime fans who were intimidated by One Piece being over 1000 episodes.

@AwNoodles That's a nice argument, how about you back it up with a source? Literally nothing mentions such things as it being 25 eps per season or that it'd stop in the timeskip, that's just your hopes. And even then, at 25 eps per year, it'd take them like a good 10 years to make the whole thing, so the issue of it being insustainable remains.

@Ionliosite2 I just saw it somewhere I am assuming that is what they would do, and once again how is that unsustainable..? Having a series you can run for 10 years sounds like a dream for studios, why would you not want a long running anime? And it makes sense for them to stop at the time skip cause that is when the animation quality really took a jump so it doesnt need a remake. I don't know why you are viewing this so negatively.

@AwNoodles A series running for 10 years inevitably would lead to a drop in quality in animation because the schedule of pulling out a season every year for a decade is not something you can keep in high quality, I called it unsustainable because if they can't keep said quality, why even bother?

@Ionliosite2 So you reason why its unstable is because the quality will jus decrease as time goes on..? I mean AOT seemed to fair well over a 10 year span. So its unsustainable because you assume they won't be able to keep quality? Yes we don't know much and its not confirmed how many episodes a year they will do nor how many, and even if the assumptions i mentioned before were wrong, its a pretty unnecessarily negative outlook on how the series will turn out like the people creating it themselves dont know how to manage releases of their anime
