Well, can't say I was expecting that. Not surprising that One Piece would eventually get remade to bring in new fans, but I wouldn't have guessed it would happen while the original is still airing!
I'm curious to see how the early episodes will play out as the pacing was pretty good from what I remember. I'm guessing they'll condense it in comparison though regardless since they probably want a leaner episode count.
Agreed. That's one of my favorite early scenes and the music is why I'd recommend the early anime over the manga to start out the series. |

Getting back to this, it's definitely a series. When I wrote this article, I had not seen Netflix's English press release yet (it probably hadn't been posted yet at that point), but the Japanese Tweet itself embedded in this article says "new anime series." "新アニメシリーズ" But yes the Netflix press release in English says anime series: https://about.netflix.com/en/news/new-anime-series-the-one-piece |

>Though I think Sailor Moon Crystal's third season and the movies were done with the help of JC Staff. It’s Studio Deen not J.C Staff Which did helped toei before in the last old seasons toei did before the modern season. |

I think the reason for this remake is more for outside of Japan than Japan.
The One Piece anime began 24 years ago, and at the time, the state of Japanese anime broadcasts outside of Japan was very poor. I think you non-Japanese know that better than I do. Censorship and alteration were commonplace in the U.S., and there was no right of control on the Japanese side. Furthermore, the current situation of accepting anime outside of Japan is completely different from that of those days. Regardless of the quality of the work, it was already commonplace in Japan for animation to be viewed by a large number of people. This is because of the long and continuous history that has continued since before Dragon Ball. However, we now know that if a work is well known, has a certain level of quality, and is advertised correctly, many people will watch it. In other words, this is the biggest step we can take to let people outside of Japan know about the right One Piece. There will be far more people who will watch from the first episode now than there were 24 years ago. |

i can't believe people are actually saying they would prefer a 'Kai' treatment rather than a full blown remake. Kai was such a lazy product that it got canned in Japan after Cell because people lost interest and merchandise sales dried up. How do you mess up that bad with a Dragonball series? Never seen the One Pace fan edit people talk about and I don't care too, but just in general going back to edit an existing series is not a great way to watch a series. It was originally made one way and even if you don't like the pacing you can't reasonably edit things out and change things around because the entire process was reliant on like the timing of the music. Then again I know there's people also watch anime at 2x and 3x speed as well and use episode guides to 'skip filler' so some people just don't care about presentation and just want to get through watching something fast.
Anyway, a full blown remake is much more preferable to get. I'd rather something else that really needs one like Konjiki no Gash or Promised Neverland would get one but I won't say no to this. |

I guess netflix was like "Wow, our one piece series did well, let's remake the anime with attack on titan's studio, that would be another hit (money bag)"

Please if we all waited for One Piece to end before doing a reboot/shortened version, we'd all be dead

I think reducing the first part of One Piece to 200 episodes would actually be a really bad idea, unless you want to lose all semblance of pacing, momentum and scale (and Romance). The Toei anime is fine before the time-skip for the most part. Maybe 300 or 350 episodes I can see, but most One Piece chapters have so much content, from dialogue to lore to small jokes that you can't get 597 chapters down to 200 without losing a lot of what makes One Piece One Piece. |

Err. What? There's nothing dumb about wanting a kai treatment. You get an editted down version with all the filler removed which is all people want anyway. Since the toei anime will reach the finale, the editted down kai version can reach the finale assuming it's not cancelled. And you get the WHOLE THING without wasting precious animator labour hours, meaning those animators can be doing something far more productive than making a reboot. If the kai version turned out to suck? That's nice and all but the fundamental premise, editting an existing longform work down to an abridged version is perfectly sound. Abridged versions of things weren't invented by anime. Sure Dragonball Kai or One Piece Kai can suck but so can a reboot, and if you get a bad reboot, well again, animation labour hours have been wasted on nothing, and you have to wait for the current reboot to finish or get cancelled before there's an opportunity to get a third reboot, which is already unlikely anyway. I swear most people who play the "remember everyone else but me and you  are dumb" card are themselves very, very 'simple'.

How many people yearning for more anime-original productions bothered to watch Overtake! this season? The industry won't make original stories if no one watches them.
BTW, Overtake! was the hidden gem of this past season. |

People are complaining about reboots, not manga adaptions, so you're kind of strawmanning. Also, manga adaptions are my preferred source material outside of visual novels, I prefer manga/VN to originals, and prefer originals to light novels/web novels. Some originals are masterworks like Tsuritama and Dennou Coil while others are "stock ragtag action anime" or "stock badass scifi". |

I feel like when people complain about lack of original anime they mean a very specific kind of niche series that isn't all that popular. The kind of stuff that doesn't get made for a reason. |

^^^ THIS ^^^ Overtake is a great little show! Also despite the awful CG, Kami.Erabi is also pretty good, a wild story that only Nier's Yoko Taro can provide. His name was the only reason I watched it, and it hasn't disappointed! And for what it's worth, Girlfriend Girlfriend has also been stupidly entertaining. I do think there is concern animating something that already exists, but it can help if the old anime is outdated in the production department, and they get rid of the filler stuff and maybe even tighten up the pacing too. A remake could be worth it, and they can stop once they get closer to the better quality more recent seasons. |
