'One Piece' Anime Gets Remake by WIT Studio

@Gar_Logan that's what Netflix want. They want the rights to earn bucks from the work of the japanese people by presenting a version with their own trademark and their own american™ flair on it, every single move of this platform in the anime and toku field has been motivated by this very reason. Every anime turned into live action, any CGI remake/continuation, every tokusatsu turned into CGI abomination like the Ultraman crap they're continuining to churn out well knowing tokusatsu fans don't particularly see in a good light full lenght anime renditions of tokusatsus, all aimed at making an american-lead, american-focused rendition of japanese properties that are currently popular hoping that they can make them their own thing and profit from them. I've been thinking and writing it for years at this point yet nobody seems to be of my same opinion but whatever, I'll repeat it nontheless: Netflix are the continuation of the same, exact mindset that spawned the likes of Harmony Gold by the real-world criminal Frank Agrama, Carl Macek, the turgid regurgitations of the Sentais, the metal heroes franchise and Kamen Rider by Saban Entertainment and the godawful Godzilla: the king of monsters movie of 1956. I sincerely don't understand this need of the american conglomerates to make this kind of Cultural appropriation while slapping their copyrights everywhere while being particularly defensive against the use of their OWN AMERICAN IPS againt the infringment or use by anyone or anybody outside the US. Try to make a 100% copy of Superman, Batman or Mickey Mouse while hamfistedly putting your own trademark on it, the american lawyers will beat your ass until you, your parents and your 5th generation grandchildren in the year 4000 will starve to death, while if the american businessmen do the same exact thing with people outside the US everything is OK because the capitalist cowboys dominating the world are right in doing so because they say so. I don't understand it. Me, I would NEVER recommend to ANYONE to watch the turkish Star Wars or the Japanese one (apparently, it exists) over the original american one, so the same applies to american-approved, american-tailored renditions or reductions of Japanese medias that are not respectful of the original sources made with the ONLY reason to make quick ca$h on the work of other, foreign people.

@AwNoodles AoT is exactly an example of what I mean, the quality in animation drops by the middle of the third season and it gets worse from there. The companies not knowing how to manage their releases happens all the time, you can look at JJK S2 for a recent example, where episodes are finished hours before airing because of how terrible the scheduling is there. And again, the number of episodes is something you're pulling out of your ass, so that's not me being negative that's you making up stuff.

Never in life I thought there would be a remake of One Piece lol. Now are they going to make it 1000eps long or what?

Why? Let the original series run its course.

I don't really see the point of REMAKING. Sailor Moon also has movies remake.. Cosmos is the latest release. One Piece is still airing and in making.. We are not even done with it.. I can tell Netflix wants that extra cash but they keep canceling good shows lol... It will also ruin the whole concept of original One Piece.. Oh you saw One Piece? Which one the remake or the older one? That's how I ask people about HxH too... " Did you watch the 1999 version or 2011" "Oh I started with 2011" and they skipped like tons of eps that are better explained in 1999 version lol...I'm sure they will make the episodes "simpler" but a bit rushed.. Not very happy about it..

@Sumumfachunk Nobody is stoping it.

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.

@ProudElitist

Dude, no american corporation is "stealing" anything or mooching off of something. It's being made by a Japanese studio, Wit Studio, in Japan, releasing under Netflix. Just like how certain anime only air on Hulu, or Crunchyroll. What the actual fuck are you waffling about.

I thought your point was that One Piece is going to be "americanized" with this new remake. Sounds like you just have a problem with big changes being made ruining the source. Im pretty sure everyone can get behind that. But this narrative you're painting, where Franky will be the main character instead of Luffy, and this is the story of Murica. In this case, there's no need to worry. Wit Studio is a faithful and well-known entity, and this is simply a Brotherhood, or a HxH 2011.

Alright dude. It sounds like you'll just always have something to be angry about. Get off your high horse, elitist. I hope you too can find hope and enjoyment in this new One Piece anime like everyone else, and stop wallowing in your self created pit of despair.

This is gonna be so dog ass it’s unreal 😭

This is gonna be so dog ass it’s unreal 😭

A remake of an anime that is still running? First time I've seen this (in fact I think it's the first time they've done this lol), whatever God wants...

I'll be watching, haven't caught up to One Piece in a long time (since I was in high school 12+ years ago!)

Hoping they cut every unnecessarily long pacing and each episode gets to the point.
