THE ONE PIECE anime remake production video:
In a recent interview with Real Sound, president of WIT Studio and Production I.G said that they are aware 1000+ episodes are a lot, as well as that younger audiences accustomed to modern anime might find the 25-year-old episodes difficult to watch due to the 4:3 analog format. They envision the remake working together with the manga, original anime, and live-action versions of ONE PIECE to expand its reach. Toei Animation has encouraged them to give it their all while they continue with the latest episodes.
Netflix describes the project:
Recreating the story of the original “ONE PIECE” manga, starting from the East Blue arc, “THE ONE PIECE” is coming to Netflix!
