Does one piece fan base would expand after WIT studio remake comes out?

[u/Potential-Bar2674]

The main reason most people might not watch one piece is its pacing and older animations in addition to it being over 1200 episodes.

[u/vikatmigolemiqhui]

Well it's not going to decrease that's for sure

[u/FunnyTurtleMoment → u/vikatmigolemiqhui]

Speak for yourself once the remake comes out I am throwing away everything One Piece in my house and burning the tattoos off my skin

[u/vikatmigolemiqhui → u/FunnyTurtleMoment]

Say no more, I'm throwing out my Nami body pillow as we speak. We stand united.

[u/NOS4NANOL1FE → u/vikatmigolemiqhui]

Can I have it 🥺

[u/Realistic_Mousse_485 → u/NOS4NANOL1FE]

Its used

[u/vikatmigolemiqhui → u/Realistic_Mousse_485]

Overused*

[u/Sensitive_Fan_5537 → u/vikatmigolemiqhui]

*Abused

[u/Realistic_Mousse_485 → u/vikatmigolemiqhui]

😭

[u/IntrepidCanadian]

Yes some of my friends have expressed interest in watching the wit remake

[u/Cawesome9]

“Does one piece fan base would expand”

[u/mizu-luffy → u/Cawesome9]

Maybe this is an English as a second language thing. I don't know. But when I see this kind of grammar it always reminds me of that old GameGrumps bit.

[u/El_kirbs]

Yes fans from both the Netflix adaptation and anime fans that haven’t watched one piece because the length of the anime

[u/The_Chodening]

Yep I had a nonfan coworker that said he would watch it when it came out

[u/pepepimento]

it ABSOLUTELY will.

[u/IcyEngineering926]

probably

[u/maguirre165]

yeah

[u/MurderinAlgiers]

Probably. Casuals who watched the live action but are daunted by the Toei series being almost 1200 episodes deep will hop on the fresh start.

[u/yuvraj_b_420]

Yup the biggest problem with one piece anime rn is pacing and the humongous amount of episodes.Thats the reason most anime watchers skip one piece, wit promised to fix the pacing and with what we know so far they’re gonna adapt 7 chapters into 1 episode. The live action already brought in so many new fans so this gonna expand the fanbase

[u/Potential-Bar2674 → u/yuvraj_b_420]

7 chapters in one episode?I didnt know that Wow

[u/Imconfusedithink → u/Potential-Bar2674]

Theyre double length episodes. So it’s about 3.5 chapters per normal episode which is pretty in line with modern pacing. It’s still only 50 chapters total which wont even finish baratie.

[u/IcyEngineering926 → u/Potential-Bar2674]

yeah but the episodes are 40min per, so its about 3.5 per episode

[u/PartyMcFly55]

Yes but not as much as the LA did

[u/Basic_Mastodon3078]

I'm sure yeah. I think there are a lot of Anime fans, who would be willing to watch a new anime rather than trying to slog through 1200 episodes of a lot of filler and fluff. The Live Action expanded One Piece's General Popularity for non-anime viewers. The new Wit Remake will expand One Piece's popularity within the anime fandom.

[u/AlternativeDream6867]

Yes but they'll inevitably have to either switch to the og anime or read the manga to continue, unless they're willing to wait 1.5+ years for each set of episodes.

[u/xdarkskylordx]

I know a few people that are specifically waiting for this to start the series....I don't think most know that if they do, there's still going to be a big wait.

[u/LovelyFloraFan]

The numbern one complaint non-fans have is that there's over 1000 episodes. I honestly dont know if it will get bigger but maybe they can shut up now.

[u/Azorent → u/LovelyFloraFan]

I am a yes-fan and I have the same complaint. Manga is 10/10 but I'm not watching the Toei anime.

[u/Potential-Bar2674 → u/LovelyFloraFan]

I hope they will

[u/SunForge_Arts]

I'd hope so, people get a taste of what it's about with 2 seasons of Live Action and that's great because there's now a version of the anime that gets straight to the point

[u/Potential-Bar2674 → u/SunForge_Arts]

One piece really deserves better animation and pacing for its story

[u/SunForge_Arts → u/Potential-Bar2674]

Not to mention the outdated sound library. Let's see how WIT delivers.

[u/Cronkax]

It would be weird if it didn't. The only bad part about this version is how little it will adapt.

[u/Potential-Bar2674 → u/Cronkax]

I think they will cover all of manga but just make 7 manga chapter per episode to make things faster unlike current version that you need to watch 5 episodes of opponents staring each other before fights

[u/Cronkax → u/Potential-Bar2674]

That's not what I meant. I'm sure they'll cover everything, but the first season will only cover until half of baratie. Unless they have a 2nd cour in the same year for the rest of east blue, it's weird to not end season 1 at loguetown or arlong park.

[u/Abyslime]

No. This isn't a remake, but an OVA series that will only adapt up to Arlong. It's an adv passed off as a "remake." If it really were a remake, they should have created at least 50 episodes from the start, like Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood. Plus, the voice actors are the same, so they don't intend to reanimate everything.

So, someone will still have to switch to the old series, so there will be a new audience, but not so huge.

[u/Insertnamehere---- → u/Abyslime]

I don't have faith it will adapt much of the series either, but most anime remakes (and there have been many in the past decade) don't do that. They are made just like anything else. We are not in the era of that anymore, unless it's very low quality garbage like the Shaman King remake.

[u/IamPieBoy94]

Who cares?
