Awww 2025!?! I think it might lose most of its momentum by then. The strikes paid a role in that but still. Here's hoping it can continue its success.

Hope they're able to deliver again with season 2.
I remember there were some complaints about the adaption of Percy Jackson and the Olympians though that might have been above this writer's control so I won't hold that against him.

Percy Jackson and the Olympians was good and had some very good moments, but mostly (and surprisingly) dragged. The pacing was just off for the most part.
I liked the pacing of live-action One Piece, so hopefully it doesn't suffer a similar fate.

Matt Owens still being there has me hoping the two can balance each other.

On one hand, he wrote two episodes for Percy Jackson, and they were amongst the most criticized by fans for their changes to the material (the worst of the season being one of them, EP6 covering the Vegas plot, which is the only one with a score of 6 on imdb).
On the other hand, every single episode he was part of in A Series of Unfortunate Events was a genuinely welcoming surprise of a good adaptation of the source material (but he wasn't exactly a writer in those).
Considering he is co-writing, I'm having high hopes they will utilize what he is good at (teleplay and story editing) moreso than his scripts (which were a mixed bag).

8 episodes a year would still be painfully slow and means the likelihood of this getting anywhere close to a complete adaption is impossible unless we're fine with a 60 year old Luffy by the time Wano comes around.
