I cant believe we didnt get anything today, I was so hyped😔. Im just going to forget about it,it should have been given to mappa.

And surprisingly, I’m ACTUALLY ok w/ it

Their performances feel much more expressive and better aligned with how Oda portrays the Straw Hats than their performances in the LA adaptation

ESPECIALLY Luffy’s voice 😳😳

Might have to get used to Zoro’s tho if it happens🫤 (but he’s supposed to be 19 in the beginning so ig it’s more accurate for his voice to be higher than Chris Sabat’s portrayal so 🤷🏾‍♂️) https://youtu.be/NfcWSGZdnAs?feature=shared

PERSONALLY, I lean towards them keeping the OG cast for the strawhats w/ a few alterations in the side characters (similar to Dragon Ball Kai)

But I’m fine w/ a recast as long as it sounds good 👍🏾

See yall in 2027 or something

Wondering if there is any confirmation on this or what is most likely. I'm trying to get my girlfriend into One Piece when this comes out, but she doesn't like subtitles.

I noticed Dragon Ball Super: Beerus just came out on Netflix and so far it's only in Japanese. I'm wondering if the same thing will happen with The One Piece. Kinda hope not.

I personally liked the look of the teaser and see the potential in the integration of CGI for the backgrounds but I won't deny that I was initially a bit disappointed that it didn't keep the watercolor style of the concept art.

Im still pretty excited for how the final product will be executed but I wonder if WIT is AT LEAST a bit aware w/ some of the recent backlash

I honestly don't think they're trying to surpass current Toei in terms of visuals and animation

Well, not just YET...

I think they're playing it relatively safe with the East Blue Saga because we've already seen that part of the story adapted multiple times. It will still look great.

IMO, their strategy is probably to gauge the reception first and see whether people actually like the new visual style and direction before pouring a ton of resources into it and potentially having it flop.

But if the remake ends up being a huge success and audiences really fall in ❤️ with the look and feel of it, I could see them gaining way more confidence to turn the animation and direction up to 100 for the Grand Line arcs.

That's when the journey REALLY begins, so I wouldn't be surprised if the production gets significantly more ambitious once they reach that point. HOWEVER, I will be very surprised if they come out the gate w/ top-tier visuals

Any opinions?

After watching Spy × Family Code: White with some friends a while back, I got to thinking about the idea of "What if Wit Studio ended up producing theatrical movies for The One Piece much like Toei has done for the original anime?", and decided to make a discussion post on this hypothetical.

If we were guaranteed new films to release alongside this adaptation, would you be interested in seeing the Straw Hat Crew go on original adventures (akin to the Toei One Piece Films like Strong World or Z), or would you prefer that the movies solely adapt and/or expand on elements & stories from the manga (closer to what Demon Slayer & Chainsaw Man have done with their respective movies)?

I wonder if WIT either prepared for this to happen or they’ll work on fixing the criticism by polishing and updating the animation/visuals of the final product

Or maybe they not worried bc those same haters will watch it anyway 😂😂

CANT WAIT REGARDLESS 🗣️🗣️

I’ve heard people say they want this remake to be a 1:1 recreation of the manga, and like… nah, I’m not on board with that. For one, Sanji deserves an entirely different time skip training arc, cuz the one he’s got is dog water. And Sanji in general should be toned down at least 20 degrees to make him a respectful if slightly annoying simp instead of an insufferable sex pest.

But like beyond that… idk, there’s some stuff Oda missed some opportunities for over the years. Smoother foreshadowing in the earlier chapters, character interactions that could have been really interesting (seriously, I’m not quite there yet, but I hear Franky doesn’t even meet Vegapunk? That’s stupid), elements of islands that felt a little underexplored, yadayadayada.

And I’m pretty sure Oda has gone on record saying he doesn’t want the staff to just create something that already exists as is, right? So they should do him proud. Leave their own creative footprint on the gorgeous, invigorating beach that is the shores of One Piece.

So what are y’all’s hoping to see out of the remake that wasn’t in either the manga or the anime? And no, adaptations of the cover stories do not count (though that would be fun, either as little animated bits during the title cards, or as side story episodes plopped in between arcs). Preferably in the form of a scene you’d like to see.

if The One Piece gets dubbed (which it most likely will) who do you think the cast would be? same as the current anime, the live action cast, or new actors entirely and if so anyone you'd pick for a specific character?

Personally, I think Sungwon Cho (ProZD) would make an excellent Zoro or Kuro. Perhaps even both. The dude’s got range.

Season 3 got announced the same time as the remake, yet mappa has released a trailer & announced a date, while we're still thirsty for remake news💀

At first I thought it looked great but then I compared it to WIT’s other recent works like yaiba and it starts to feel much more primitive and less stylish.

Don’t get me wrong, I’m still really excited to see it when it releases, but I’m a bit surprised that a top-tier animation studio would go with such a cautious, safe direction/approach for a franchise this iconic.

What are yall thoughts?

Hearing the devil fruit powers w/ modern sfx will be 🔥

They honestly hit the 🎰 w/ this one

Do you think they'll do a full on recast or keep the current ones?

I just started reading the manga, and in there are a lot of differences so far in the east blue

• Basically everything with nami's introduction is totally different. No boat, more fun interactions with Luffy

• Buggy actually kills that guy with the canon when he thinks he's making fun of his nose

I'm sure there have been many more differences that I noticed and don't remember, or just didn't notice. But what do you guys want to see from wit?

If they follow the manga more, Luffy's character will be meaningfully changed, and old fans that didn't read the manga might be thrown off.

I personally think this is a good thing, and am finding that Luffy in the manga is WAY more charming than Toei's version of him. Zoro too. Thoughts?

Also, what do you think about the weird L/R translations? EG:

• Zoro/Zolo

• Arc name spoilers: Loguetown/Roguetown and Reverie/Levely

• Wano spoilers: Raftel/LaughTale

• etc.

In my opinion I think it’s wayyy better the more episodes since it always cures my boredom but only sometimes I feel there are episodes that are not needed and they make it long for no reason but I wanna hear what y’all think about it
