@@Abcdefg-rk8jk i would blame them, they are not a small rookie company who needs sympathy. They choose to be the face of the anime then they need to take the blame for the faults too
The originals are unbelievablely iconic. They did such a good job it's difficult to say replace them. But considering their age and what the cast members probably want, ie to retire. It's probably for the best.
@@hey...121 Eh, I mean all the OGs from Dragon Ball are still going strong and their Japanese voices are less iconic to their set characters. It's possible. The WIT version is gonna be about a third of the episodes and made in a quarter of the time of the original TOEI.
So we're gonna have One Piece (manga), One Piece (Toei), The One Piece (Wit Studio), and One Piece (Netflix) ... Not to mention One Pace (the fan re-editing project)
@@sudiptaday7875 a re-edit of toei's anime that cuts roughly 40% the show to make it more closely in line with the manga, I linked an explainer in another response if you want to check it out
I actually don't hate that East Blue feels a bit more similar island to island. We're used to the grand line, where it's deadly to even attempt to leave an island. Cultures, and everythign that encompasses, are going to develop in their own, isolated way, to a certain degree. So they all feel uniquely THAT place. Less of an issue in calmer waters like East Blue.
i hope the remake does something similar to attack on titan on the intermission screens where it just shows some random aspect of the world that is usually not specifically mentioned
What if the cover stories are fit into the intermission? You known like whenever the remake gets to that point in the manga where Koby's cover story begins, have each page show up every episode.
@@ReiseLukas omg that would be brilliant if they did that! Though, I wish they would properly adapt the cover stories into full animation, but I would be just as happy if they adapted them at all, even if it was in the way you just said.
One thing I'm just really hoping is that they also use this opportunity to adapt the Cover Stories that we don't usually get to watch in the Toei anime.
@@o_penguinsI hate how so many anime have openings and ending when some like jobless rencsnstions plays its intro song with scenes they could do cover stories while the music plays
It reminds me of Batman: The Animated Series, in a way. That series played with darkness in the sense that the entire series was animated on black paper.
Honestly seeing them refer to props and draw frames while looking at the manga pages made me even more excited. I love how detailed all the concept art is. I love that in the character sheets, you can tell that Zoro and Sanji have different builds and body types. And while they should maybe saturate everything a little more, I love the marker look. It looks just like the color spreads. I hope they keep it. But the production team is crazy! The _Attack on Titan_ director, the director of _Jujutsu Kaisen_ as your assistant director, the character designer and chief animation director of _Attack on Titan_ and _Spy x Family,_ the action animators for the remake worked on _Boruto_ and _My Hero Academia,_ the writer of _Ranking of Kings,_ and the remakes’s animation producer also worked on _Attak on Titan!_ What‽ The board member of WIT in the video said he first heard about the project 4-5 years ago which means they’ve been talking about doing a remake since Wano. I love that they really seem to be sticking to manga fidelity. But I also hope that they play when it comes to stuff set up early, but we now know 1000 chapters later. For instance, in Buggy’s fight with Shanks during the Orange Town flashback, we now know Rayleigh was the pirate who broke it up. So show us young Rayleigh from the Oden flashback. Don’t just make it the random pirate that Oda had to retcon into Rayleigh. Show other of the Roger pirates like Scopper, whom we meet in the Oden flashback. But maybe not Crocus or Oden. At Reverse Mountain, show us Yorkie, not the captain who would have to be retconned into Yorkie. Show us a character from the back that could be Brook. The Supernovas weren’t planned so maybe foreshadow them a bit with reports and new stories about other rookies tearing up other seas. Do what the Live Action did with those Foxy and Cavendish posters. And I hope they capture those moments in the early manga that when a character genuinely smiles, they shine in the panel.
These were my thoughts exactly! Use this opportunity to fix some of the minor inconsistencies that have arisen due to the decades this story has spanned
The best adaptations usually aren't the ones that slavishly translate everything from the source material to the screen 1-to-1, but the ones that look for the soul of the original and capture it using the new tools that come with a change in medium. That's what I'm hoping for with this version of the anime.
100% agree. I hope Wit can add some much needed dynamism into the pacing and especially the fights in early one piece, where to be honest, fights were more of a slideshow than anything else lmao
And that’s what makes the live action so good too. Seeing as both of these new adaptations will be running at the same time I wonder if they’ll be around in line with each other timing-wise
The only thing I’m scared of is the fact they most likely won’t use the original ost. Imagine the walk at Arlong park without overtaken in the background
What scares me is the fanbase. There is 0% chance they will be happy with this. It already thinks OP is the perfect anime, so if you remake it, you can only make it worse. There is going to be endless complaining
@@ziglaus Look, those fans bring up valid points. The fact that people see those fans as the problem is the wrong outlook. Not to be pessimistic, but the new anime release has a VERY high chance to flop, and not because fans are complaining.
This remake might lead to an open world one piece game that is insanely detailed Idk tho, the amount of detail put in would definitely help in making such a game
@@gats2228 Yeah, we're still a LONG away from such a project, and more realistically, it would be sorta unrealistic for any sort of One Piece MMO to intricately detail each and every island mentioned... but damn if the dream ain't vivid.
@AnonEcho98 Choosing a different starting route in the Grand Line for ultimate replay value; modding out your ship (maybe eventually with sea prism in order to cross the Calm Belt to the different seas); coming across eternal log poses to hidden islands; finding new devil fruits and exploding if you try eating two lol. The dream is massive, man, but oh so sweet.
Games set in worlds with powers like One Piece has always suffer from not being able to adapt the powers into gameplay. They just become generic fighting games with somewhat unique attack animations.
I love that analogy with the VAs and Roger’s generation; they’re legends in their own right and will forever be so, but this remake would benefit from handing the torch over to a new set of voice actors. If Oda gave the go ahead for the staff to create their own vision of the series, then I don’t see why we can’t do the same with new VAs and have them create their own spin on the characters
While you have a point, I can't imagine someone else being Luffy being other than Mayumi Tanaka, or someone else being Zoro other than Kazuya Nakai - both of them have such distinguishable voices, that goes for the rest of the Straw Hats. It would be hard to divorce the idea and I think the fanbase would have a hard time accepting that change while the original VAs are still around.
@@helloeuphoria4407but the og voice actors won't be around for the entirity of the new one piece (if it's succesful) so it's either this or having to replsce them midway through, which would be way worse.
Megumi Ishitani GOATed. I agree with the lighting sentiment! I don’t want them to go ALL out, at least not until the big hitting moments, but exploring lighting in this adaptation would do wonders
lmao, i just have this image in my head of Mayumi Tanaka, sitting in a room with Oda and the crew, doing an interview for the position, and her mentioning this probably being her last main role before she retires, and Oda just smiling and nodding like a villain
I have to agree with you about getting new voice actors, and offering the Toei VAs roles as the older generations is a nice tip of the hat to their careers representing the One Piece characters. One casting that came to mind immediately for me would be casting Nami's VA Akemi Okamura as Belle-Mère. Really turn that knife on that moment for long-term fans.
When it comes to anime remakes, it’s not uncommon to recast the characters for the new iteration. Both Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Sailor Moon Crystal featured new voice actors for its characters, with only Romi Park and Rie Kugimiya returning to play Edward and Alphonse and Kotono Mitsuishi returning to play Usagi/Sailor Moon. To my knowledge, Shaman King 2021 is the only anime remake that brought back a majority of the original 2001 cast (with the exception of Yoh Asakura, now played by Yoko Hikasa).
@@theassortedhobbyist afterwards, in the case of FMA and FMAB both were produced by the same studio and the gap between the last episode of FMA and the first episode of FMAB was not as big as between the Toei anime and the Wit anime
A personal note about the early village scenery in the series: tbh retrospectively I think it works as intended. The Grand Line is a weird wild wacky fantastical place. All of its oddities are localized within it and knowing what we know now about the past, it feels intentional of whoever crafted the world into the form that exists today. That's why people in the four blues in early One Piece speak of the Grand Line and Devil Fruits as legends: because they are just all fairly normal people in fairly normal locales. With the exception of Gaimon's island I suppose which was exclusively oddities but that's a whole other theory. Point being that I had figured that while it's great that they wanna give each location a unique and vibrant life of its own, that was also the distinguishing difference between the Grand Line and the four blues: to be so normal juxtaposed against the unpredictable.
The islands being normal does not mean they cant have a regular infrastructure, in fact its quite the opposite. Since they have only normal means to go by then fishing and dairy is like the most normal thing you can do!
You're not wrong, but even still, giving each island its own identity within the realm of the ordinary would go a long way. Making Foosha Village a fishing town for example would make it nice and unique from, say, Syrup Village, which IMO seems like a perfect place to keep a cattle farm.
@@greatestcait I agree with all of the points here, but also feel like Foosha doesn't really feel like a fishing village to me in the original. First off, iirc "Foosha" means "Windmill" right? So, right away I'd expect some windmills which implies a milling industry, not a fishing one. Secondly, the "look" of it in the manga, the Toei animation, and the live action all make me think of it way more as a rundown tourist trap. A place whose industry exists mostly in the past and is propped up by outsiders. Maybe it's a place where the "middle class" - if there even is one - of Goa go to visit or maybe it's a place where merchants and pirates alike just go to get a drink. And it's definitely in a kind of unique locale which is near enough to mountains and forests for Luffy to hunt and fight wild animals and for mountain bandits to be a regular occurrence, but it also borders the ocean. This implies that it's on a bay or inlet surrounded by high terrain, probably in a windy location. So what are they milling then? Rice is grown in floodplains in warm climates and wheat prefers wide open plains and most of the area that'd be best suited for that is now covered in Grey Terminal. Maybe in the past those were inland farming villages before being so affected by poverty and the excesses of the nobility that it became what we know it as. So maybe the windmills are a legacy of that time where grain and wild fruits, vegetables, and meat all went on to Foosha through a mountain pass which processed the raw goods and shipped them to a larger port, similar to a crofting town irl. Taking advantage of the terrain to drive the windmills. I honestly don't think Oda thought about it that hard and I don't think that's the direction that Wit is going, but I really do love the thought exercise. It's easy to do the same with Syrup Village and Orange Town also. Syrup village in particular seems like it was almost certainly a plantation town due to Kaya's mansion and the name. Probably it processed molasses or syrup from some sort of crop grown there, hence the name. And we definitely see lots of signs of agriculture there even in the modern day and what's interesting is that the climate there seems like it's more temperate rather than more tropical, so perhaps in the past there were huge maple groves that were cut down over time and became farmland but left the name. Impossible to really know for sure. Especially because One Piece isn't Earth and they may have crops which are too mundane to mention but like nothing we have.
I agree with everything that this internet man has said. What I am most excited about is the lore expansion (industry of each village, exploring the maps of each location, etc). The lore is already immense for the world of OP so I didn’t think that it can still be expanded further but here we are.
I know WIT did Ousama Ranking,that anime’s color palette it’s so pretty I think The one piece world would definitely fit with something like that,the concept art already gives that vibe.
Later on in the Toei series you get to see Luffy stabbing himself in the face in the retelling of the East Blue Saga special. I hope the remake of One Piece is very faithful to the manga like having Whitebeard face getting half blown off by Akainu in the Marineford Arc.
At first i genuinely didn't know our dear cook Zeff ate his own leg. I'm really considering reading the manga from chapter 1 soon (if i have the time) Also, super excited for the remake, and still "patiently" waiting for a release date
I had to read the Manga to get into One Piece a couple of years ago. It was a MUCH more enjoyable experience than trying to watch the anime. Caught all the way up to Wano, and was able to actually feel hype about Gear 5 releasing.
I am curious to see how far they will go with the uncensored version, it would be amazing to witness just how deadly some attacks are or how much they would hurt. I believe it would put a much more needed emphasis of the strength of the Monster Trio early on in the series.
The one piece hype is real! I love this story and its amazing to see new life being blown into it from the anime and the live action. Really excited to see how they will adapt it!
I really just wanna see a 1on1 manga adaption (in terms of story), maybe the only changes being things that Oda wouldve liked to have done different in hindsight. But outside of that, I just want the core experience without the fillers. Something my friends could finally watch, so they will understand t he genius if the story at least in the year 2040 or something. So I maybe have someone in my 50s that I can talk to about it...
A 1 to 1 adaptation would never happen for 2 main reasons: A) there is no point to it. None. It doesn’t offer anything new for people that are familiar with the manga and people who aren’t familiar with the manga wouldn’t notice there are any changes at all because they don’t know the source material. Just look at any movie remake that goes the shot-by-shot route, they are generally awful (the Psycho remake and Lion King live action are just 2 that pop into my head instantly). And B) there is no worse punishment to an artist or animator than to have their creativity and personal voice taken away. Being limited is the worst thing for any creative mind and would only result in a half-baked low-quality product because the animators are just phoning it in. And that’s all it would be: a soulless product. How could anyone want that for something they love so deeply.
Oda is copying Akira with Dragonball Z Kai, which was garbage. it's just for money at this point. but akira did it to remind everyone about DBZ while OP is still ongoing atm. kinda useless for Oda but he does love money alot. even ruined his Wano arc ending just to fit in Shanks before the RED movie release.
When they talked about getting people who love One Piece to work on this project, I was so overjoyed. I feel like each person they interviewed showed that the team as a whole really has a genuine connection to One Piece and a desire to help this project blossom.
the va situation reminds me of when p3 reload replaced the og cast and people where mad at first but most people eventually warmed up to it when they heard it in action and it was amazing
I know it’s just concept art but I do actually really like the drawn style it has and hope that at least a little of it it’s carried into the final anime to be stylised
Thanks, the one main thing I took from this is now I have to go hunt down a new vhs tape! Collecting over 10 years and now have another one to add to the list! Learn something new everyday!
Interesting for Oda to give the new animators almost free reign to channel their creative energy. Contrast that to the production of the Netflix live action where Oda had practically direct control like when Netflix had to convince Oda to let Garp appear earlier in the story.
With the new anime, they’re staying true to the story - Netflix can’t be trusted to do the same. (Especially considering the things Oda had to talk them out of, such as hamfisted romance between crew members.)
@@msjones6936Wait, were Netflix actually planning on making a romance on the crew, despite Oda saying that would never happen?! Do I even WANT to know what they tried to do?! Thank the lord Oda said nuh uh
@@brycj14128 horrible suggested changes like love triangles were why he was/is resistant to their changes - but it’s clear he’s flexible so long as it doesn’t drastically change the characters/story. I wouldn’t trust Netflix with my story unsupervised either ♥️
@@msjones6936 Oh lord I sincerely hope the proposed love triangle wasn’t between who I think it was 😭 but yeah, trusting Netflix to not force their own agendas in anything is… naïve to say the least. What Oda has allowed them to change or add has paid off though in my opinion, such as making Sanji more a flirt and less a perv. Just goes to show how far respecting the source material will get you
Having three One Piece shows (Toei, Netflix, Wit) concurrently adapting basically the same source material is crazy Both of them being anime is even crazier. What manga gets two different anime adaptations running at the same time?
You know Sonic the Hedgehog? You probably know this, but in the early 90s, there were two different Sonic cartoons airing at the same time. One was dark and dramatic. The other was a hilarious comedy about chili dogs. And the same guy played Sonic in both shows. Isn't that wild? The same guy playing two different versions of the same guy?
Currently binging the original anime after I got onto it from the incredible Live Action. Will be watching all three as they come out once I've caught up lol.
I know we’re years or even decades away from maybe ever catching up, but as someone who quit watching during Wano cause I couldn’t deal with 4 flashbacks to Pedro’s death during a single episode I will 100% rewatch the whole thing just for real pacing
The thing I’m most excited excited about is the fact that they are going to adapt the old style for the first few arcs instead of just using the new newer designs for the characters so it will still feel like old one piece I CANT WAIT
Uncensored, more faithful to the anime (regardless what Oda said), animated, directed, produced, and likely voiced* by people who grew up on the source material, this has potential to be amazing. Embracing the idea of darkness as a canvas for light makes perfect sense to me, but I'm also a photographer, and light - its presence or absence - is the essence of photography. *Legends? Yes, that's accurate, the current VAs are legends.
Really needed. Pacing of the One Piece anime is notorious, and puts people off. Tbh, I dropped the series at Rainbow Island, and did not touched it for years... And at that time Marineford was running. Fillerguides "saved" one piece for me. Inconsistency errors can and should be fixed now. The silhouettes and random characters. Ie: -Roger Pirates are just random dudes in the Toei anime, while we have a scetch of each members now. - The infamous Yonko shadows at Water7 And begs the question: would they use current knowledge as foreshadowing tool, or keep it as retconing the series? Thinking about dropping WhosWho name at season 1? Shanks position in the world? Correct me if Im wrong, but Shanks was already 1B bounty level before Luffy started his journey. Thinking about "poor" Gecko Moria. How different his whole arc is now that we know his trauma? Oh, and proper fillers! We don't need the same few dozen of background characters reaction shots every episodes. Especially in Wano Toei just missed a huge opportunity again. So much fight were off-screen'd in the manga and Toei was "loyal" to that -_- The only thing they done was superespcalating the fight scenes. Wit should tone down the powerlevels. Ie: keep in mind that Crocodile is a 1.9B bounty beast.
I really hope they use this opportunity to fix some of the minor inconsistencies that have popped up due to the series length; like cleaning of up some of the foreshadowing and seeding of characters like Sabo and Haki as a whole
I just hope they find a voice actor who can nail Luffys laugh, doesn't even have to be the same, but a laugh that makes us smile with it's goofiness every time
What's amazing to me is that there is bound to be at least one if not more great minds who will create future manga or animation coming out of those young people hired for remake.
They seem very confident that it'll do well enough to get a Season 2, and I'm all for it personally. East Blue is all well and good, but what I'm really excited for is to see their take on Alabasta as the first great arc of One Piece.
@@greatestcaitAnd I’m really excited about Baratie, Sanji introduction and zoro getting humbled by mihawk, aaaand soooo many other moments it is destined to be PEAK
@@greatestcait it will do well enough to adapt the entire thing OP is massive af and even the live action was watched by like 80 millions of people lol
I'm all for new sound fx's. Having Enel blast people with actual thunder and lightning sounds would be terrifyingly cool. They should not fuck with the music. Make some new music for sure, but the music of the one piece anime IS one piece. I am not at all convinced that a new score could replace it.
Honestly, I’m hesitant to think that THE Arlong Park moment will hit anywhere near as hard in the remake without Overtaken and the walk! I’m sure Wit will do their best to make a great score to go with Luffy busting down the wall to Arlong Park, even if the walk itself isn’t there, but what I’d love more is for the remake to keep the OST from the original and revamp it, re-record the tracks. It’s a huge ask though
One thing I hope they dont lose in the One Piece is the humor of the early Episodes. For me early One piece has always been more Comedy then Action adventure, and the further we go with the story the more the focus becomes the Action adventure. In the Beginning they are lighthearted and fun, and they still are towards the end, but they are also much more determend. I have really high expectations for the one piece tbh.
That's some bs. This concept art looks amazing. It has a level of detail and shading that would be pretty impractical for an actual anime. So if anything I think we should lower our expectations a bit rather than raising them.
I agree about the voice actors. It's a remake and needs a fresh cast. But like you said, a big reason is also the original cast's age. Franky in particular doesn't sound too healthy anymore.
I’m praying that chopper can actually get an iconic voice to match his weird self from pre-timeskip AND PLEASE KEEP HIM WEIRD POST-TIMESKIP, I love chopper’s animal look and him being too plush in timeskip, mainly cuz of the VA
The only question is whether or not WIT Studio will last long enough to adapt the whole thing. We don't know how fast this anime will air, or how quickly it'll cover the source material, but I can't see them getting to Wano in less than 12 or so years, best case scenario.
oh this new adaptation is for sure going to span at least a couple decades, probably even three if oda does his usual thing of "its ending in just a few more years" then continues it for hundreds more chapters. seasonal is going to be much slower than weekly, which has already taken 20 years to get to episode 1000+. its going to be a long long looooong run for sure. im putting my kids and grandkids on the one piece
@@jym2r Lets just say they will adapt 3-4 chapters per ep every 2 years with 25 episodes a season as a rough estimate thats 75-100 chapters per 2 years which is about at worst how fast toei adapts it and at best waay faster so I recon it might be a good 12-17 years to animate the series to the current manga (and thats if it takes 2 years per season which most likely isnt the case especially since it has priority)
I really hope the new anime decides to skip the previous episode recap and instead adapts the cover stories. That would be another great way to differentiate themselves and give anime only fans that VITAL information.
I kinda hope that some earlier arc stuff can be fixed or reimagined. Such as the whole conflict of Syrup Village (the set up to the pirate invasion is fine. Battle sucks high key). Or actively going through with sacrificing pell for real.
I have a few people who I've been wanting to introduce to One Piece but who are put off by the outdated animation and intimidated by the absurd size of it by this point. A new bite-sized remake with the potential to grow with an entire new generation would be perfect to help even more people discover this landmark of a series.
What I gathered from that video is that it's not going to be a "faithful canon recreation of the manga" so it's going to make A LOT of people angry...... and I gotta say that im a little frustrated too 'cause we're going to have a 3rd canonicity which may make theorizing a bit of a pain because of things like "it's like this in this canon but it's like that in the other canon"
I saw people complaining about Usopp looking pale. I don't know why. I mean look at volume 5 of the manga. He's a pretty pale dude. Wit studio is clearly just following the manga properly, unlike toei.
There's some people who really, really want Usopp to be a black guy and I think that's basically all that's up with that. I don't mind if he is or isn't, since it doesn't make much of a difference to his story. I think he's definitely one of the more "ethnically ambiguous" of the Strawhats so adaptations can do whatever and it'll be fine honestly, but people want to feel like they have some representation on the hero's crew. Or at least, that's the more innocent interpretation giving people the benefit of the doubt, there's also just a bunch of straight up racist crazy people on Twitter that should be ignored. I think the live action did a good job with their casting and that so long as the character gets screentime to breathe, their take on Usopp is pretty good and should hopefully satisfy people. OP is already a very diverse world by every metric. I do personally take the interpetation that Usopp would be "mixed" by our standards, but portrayals of his parents have also varied wildly from adaptation to adaptation, so who knows. Internally the One Piece world just doesn't seem to care and we shouldn't be projecting our world's standards onto it so much, but I also don't think that people complaining are necessarily in the wrong mostly. Once you filter out the Twitter brainrot.
@@Soitisisit oda still draws ussop with black skin in color pages and wanted a black actor to play ussop in the live action , his dad has dreadlocks and he has Afro hair
@@tracark2255 yeah, you should get your eyes checked. Go check the official color spreads and most recent Volume covers with Usopp on them. He looks pretty much the same as always.
I hope the project will have more random interactions within the straw pirates Early one piece had sooo much of those, but post timeskip there's barely any :(
I wonder if Bink’s Sake song will sound the same One thing you can’t really replicate is the instruments because the song comes from a Manga Will the violin and the other instruments sound the same?
I really, really hope so. The composition that they came up with for the Toei doesn't feel like it can be topped in Japanese or English. As a filthy dubs-watcher, I was extremely impressed at how well they adapted the song to English. That's far more work than regular localization and the song has been living rent-free in my head ever since Thriller Bark. I think that Bink's Sake should just be as much of a constant between adaptations as possible. Maybe slight variations, but I dunno. Folk songs - which is what Bink's Sake is in-universe - are remarkably stable across hundreds of miles and years and tend to have a lot of personal significance and retain their melodic and poetic core even if the exact wording and (musical) phrasing differ performer to performer. It'd be really, really good if they could do the same in this meta sense. Edit: It'd also be really, really difficult to compose something totally new for The One Piece and would be the single most divisive thing if they did. If there's one thing that Toei ever did right it was that episode in particular. I'd say it was a masterpiece and it's one of the few times in over a decade where a piece of media has made me cry.
i hope that in the new remake every episode would have a mini-story after the episode and it will cover the cover stories in the manga. So we can see Enel went to the moon in the anime. It kinda nice if that happens.
This! I always say OP is my favorite and is a 9.5/10 but the treatment of female characters overall is still like a C. Robin is one of the best characters in anime but she got super heavily nerfed and sexualized. Nami same thing, like why she wears a bra only doesn’t make that much sense to me. Like she is literally just a kid too, like 18 wtf. The whole Sanji Fishman island thing was stupid as heck.
The way those concept arts have been created makes me curious how the anime is going to look like. Well, even if the anime's art style is completely the same as those, then it would be something unique.
My only real issue with the new animation is the recoloring on our strawhats. Look at my boy Ussop wheres his melanin gone! I understand the original coloring wasn't always what oda had in mind but i always loved that the main crew were uniquely diverse in that aspect. It helped me connect to the characters just a little more like pretimeskip Robin i genuinely thought she was hispanic the first time we met her with the way she names her attacks and her sense of style. I personally always love to see more people of color in anime and it kinda makes me sad that it gets taken away even if its not that big of a deal
Counterpoint: White Robin could still be Hispanic. It's a cultural-linguistic identity that contains multiple ethnicities. ( But nah, if we had to give her an ethnicity, she's clearly Irish although most of her attack names are French. ) The crew still feels diverse, I think, but I get your point. I dunno if this helps you feel any better about it, but I went to school with a black kid who had green eyes and was even paler than this take on Usopp, so it could just be a more complex example of diversity. I feel like you'd get that from the son of a pirate, especially a pirate on Shanks' crew which seems to get around the world quite a lot more than everyone else.
@Soitisisit I totally get that and I won't argue that Robin could be a lighter hispanic if she were to be one (im hispanic we come in many shades lol) and Oda has written in an SBS where the SH would be from if they were from someplace in the real world like Ussop being from Africa or Luffy being Brazilian. My point more so stands on it being a visual representation bc there's no short amount of lighter and fair skinned characters in anime so having characters especially main characters that fall into those wider ranges of skintones and such helps connect people like myself to these characters bc we can see a part of ourselves in them, for as silly as it sounds it just feels nice to be represented. Side note, as someone who does enjoy to cosplay on occasion I like dressing as characters that are of my skintone bc is were being honest here most tend to to either very light skinned or very dark skinned so finding character of my shade or similar is kinda hard, I won't say there are none but it would be nice to have more options.
@@chewie_bacon8208 I understand it. I wasn't even considering the cosplay angle. Cosplay is just not one of those hobbies I'm very aware of. But typically I don't see people letting the character's literal appearance stop them from having fun with it and I hope that's the case for you also. I guess we'll just have to see what they do with him in The One Piece. This stuff is still early concept art and it is important to remember that Japanese people live in one of the more homogenous places on Earth in terms of skin tone and probably aren't even considering implications for non-Japanese fans. If people can provide polite feedback, they might adjust? Who knows. I'm not sure if it's better or worse if they do or don't. As for me, I don't try to identify with people who look like me but with people who represent ideals that I sympathize with, so this change doesn't mean much to me. There aren't really any characters in One Piece that I can latch onto and say "That looks like me". Probably the closest I've got is a grunt marine, honestly. Maybe Law if I'm being extremely favourable to myself, but even then not really. I don't think it's being done this way to marginalize anyone, at least. I think it's just an oversight. But there's always the live action which gives cosplayers an in. They even cast a black guy for Lucky Roux from Shanks' crew iirc, which I thought was very apt and he's a fan favourite. It reminds me of people I'd possibly be able to meet where I'm from for the name, the personality, and the look.
@Soitisisit absolutely, I can agree with you. Finding characters that share your ideals is just as important, and I'm aware the japanese are very homogeneous and probably aren't considering the implications for the non-japanese fans. I just wanted to throw my two cents in here and give my honest opinion of the concepts and how I feel about it. Regardless I'm excited for it and can't wait to see the work they put out, my complaint is minor at best but who knows maybe by the time The OnePiece cones out the characters will look different, like you said it is just concept art at the moment and whatever the future holds is yet to be seen. Whatever direction they take, I'm still gonna pour myself a nice cup of sake to enjoy this ride with the rest of my nakama.
@@chewie_bacon8208 Absolutely! I enjoyed this little exchange. It's not often you get to have a cordial little conversation in the TH-cam comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and hearing out mine.
I wonder if wit is going to be less Pervy than toei because if you’ve seen the anime vs the manga there’s even more “inflation”if you know what I mean.
That was a great video. Honestly I’m super excited. It even made me a bit emotional. One piece deserves it. Also with the live action being so popular, I think even more people are going to want to consume more one piece content. I’m very optimistic
The One Piece remake is set to be seasonal and will run alongside the original anime, which is currently in the middle of the Egghead arc and is expected to finish Egghead by Fall 2025. Since each remake season would likely air one year after the previous, it would take much longer to finish the story than the manga or the original anime. For instance, if the remake starts with East Blue in Spring 2025 and each season has 26 episodes (about 6 months), something like Water 7 (Season 4) wouldn’t air until Fall 2028. To note the manga would have been done with Elbaf by then and the manga would have been in the Final Arc unless there is an arc before the final one. For the anime I believe that it would be at the end of Elbaf. I thought it was kind of obvious that a seasonal format is slower than a weekly one simply because seasonal only pumps out 12 to 26 episodes meanwhile weekly you can pump out a good 35 to 47 episodes.

Yes! We truly need new voice actors for new project. Japanese voice actors are so talented you won't feel they are new voice actors. Starting may feel little different but we will surely used to with them.
Honestly, the sound effects have grown on me. When I started watching one piece it annoyed me but after being (mostly) caught up for a good decade they've grown on me. If they suddenly changed them I can imagine there being more people being pissed at Toei than the people who say the change needs to be made in the first place, because anybody who has caught up to over a thousand episodes of the show even recently will probably feel some level of attachment or "normalcy" toward the sound effects and most people hate change when you're trying to fix something that not that many people have complained about. Edit: P.S this is about the original Toei animation. The new anime should 100% update the SFX.
the way this channel's thoughts are structured and communicated is so refreshing. usually i just wake up in a daze and watch the latest video on this topic, and some haphazard stream of consciousness ensues.
I feel conflicted by the reboot. I know Toei made bad decisions and they still will do the anime; however, I feel the reboot will tarnish the effort of 25 years. Some fillers, extended scenes are beautiful, now even when I know is for new fans, it discredit this work
I agree. I thought the Millenium Dragon filler and G-8 were really good and there's a fair amount of stuff I didn't even realize was filler. A lot of people think Long Ring Long Land was terrible or that adapting the Buggy-Gaimon cover story was a strange choice, but I thought the Foxy Pirates were hilarious and that adapting cover stories is probably the best approach to filler. The only parts where the pacing really killed me were in Dressrosa and Wano. I really don't like the way Toei adapted Wano because it feels like I'll be there for months even if I binge watch the whole thing and some of the samurai are just plain boring and awful. Also there were way too many gags even for One Piece. But even Wano had some parts which I really enjoyed and I feel like a lot of OP's gags are actually the faithful adaptations of the manga. One thing I hope they deal with is the way that Sanji and Vander Decken's behaviour is very similar as portrayed by Toei but we're stuck with Sanji whereas Vander Decken was a villain-of-the-week. And Sanji doesn't really ever improve that much, it's very... annoying.
Every arc with Wits pacing and animation will genuinely be godly man. I can't wait for this remake 🔥

@@ZairoDGreat what are they supposed to do? Write the manga themselves? It’s literally out of their control
Keeping the original VAs in The One Piece would be disastrous. There will literally be no better time to pass the torch than the start of the remake.
They'll probably keep the VAs, though. It's usually how it happens for anime remakes.
@@son_guhun I think it's already set that the remake will have new VA the originals are too old
The OGs are a bit too old. I don't think they can do both anime at the same time.
The originals are unbelievablely iconic. They did such a good job it's difficult to say replace them. But considering their age and what the cast members probably want, ie to retire. It's probably for the best.
@@hey...121 Eh, I mean all the OGs from Dragon Ball are still going strong and their Japanese voices are less iconic to their set characters. It's possible. The WIT version is gonna be about a third of the episodes and made in a quarter of the time of the original TOEI.

I actually don't hate that East Blue feels a bit more similar island to island. We're used to the grand line, where it's deadly to even attempt to leave an island. Cultures, and everythign that encompasses, are going to develop in their own, isolated way, to a certain degree. So they all feel uniquely THAT place. Less of an issue in calmer waters like East Blue.
That makes sense! - Random DBZA Hurcule Satan fan
i hope the remake does something similar to attack on titan on the intermission screens where it just shows some random aspect of the world that is usually not specifically mentioned
That is kinda cool
What if the cover stories are fit into the intermission? You known like whenever the remake gets to that point in the manga where Koby's cover story begins, have each page show up every episode.
@@ReiseLukas omg that would be brilliant if they did that! Though, I wish they would properly adapt the cover stories into full animation, but I would be just as happy if they adapted them at all, even if it was in the way you just said.
Sbs informations good material for that
Broo.. Great thinking.. i love that idea i wish that they do this _👀_
One thing I'm just really hoping is that they also use this opportunity to adapt the Cover Stories that we don't usually get to watch in the Toei anime.
Would the cover stories be clips at the beginning or a different episode?
Yesss I hope they will i wonder since is seasonal idk if they will have time to cover them but hopefully they will 🙏🥹

"using darkness as a canvas to sculpt light" goes hard
We should quote that
It's like filling your canvas with pure black and drawing with white pen
It's the same ethos batman the animated series used for their bg art it's very goodddd
it's the most kingdom hearts esque saying I've ever heard 🤣🤣🤣 another series that's been going on for a long time 😂
It reminds me of Batman: The Animated Series, in a way. That series played with darkness in the sense that the entire series was animated on black paper.
Honestly seeing them refer to props and draw frames while looking at the manga pages made me even more excited. I love how detailed all the concept art is. I love that in the character sheets, you can tell that Zoro and Sanji have different builds and body types. And while they should maybe saturate everything a little more, I love the marker look. It looks just like the color spreads. I hope they keep it. But the production team is crazy! The _Attack on Titan_ director, the director of _Jujutsu Kaisen_ as your assistant director, the character designer and chief animation director of _Attack on Titan_ and _Spy x Family,_ the action animators for the remake worked on _Boruto_ and _My Hero Academia,_ the writer of _Ranking of Kings,_ and the remakes’s animation producer also worked on _Attak on Titan!_ What‽ The board member of WIT in the video said he first heard about the project 4-5 years ago which means they’ve been talking about doing a remake since Wano.
I love that they really seem to be sticking to manga fidelity. But I also hope that they play when it comes to stuff set up early, but we now know 1000 chapters later. For instance, in Buggy’s fight with Shanks during the Orange Town flashback, we now know Rayleigh was the pirate who broke it up. So show us young Rayleigh from the Oden flashback. Don’t just make it the random pirate that Oda had to retcon into Rayleigh. Show other of the Roger pirates like Scopper, whom we meet in the Oden flashback. But maybe not Crocus or Oden. At Reverse Mountain, show us Yorkie, not the captain who would have to be retconned into Yorkie. Show us a character from the back that could be Brook. The Supernovas weren’t planned so maybe foreshadow them a bit with reports and new stories about other rookies tearing up other seas. Do what the Live Action did with those Foxy and Cavendish posters. And I hope they capture those moments in the early manga that when a character genuinely smiles, they shine in the panel.
These were my thoughts exactly! Use this opportunity to fix some of the minor inconsistencies that have arisen due to the decades this story has spanned

The best adaptations usually aren't the ones that slavishly translate everything from the source material to the screen 1-to-1, but the ones that look for the soul of the original and capture it using the new tools that come with a change in medium. That's what I'm hoping for with this version of the anime.

What scares me is the fanbase. There is 0% chance they will be happy with this. It already thinks OP is the perfect anime, so if you remake it, you can only make it worse. There is going to be endless complaining
@@ziglausthey can just watch the original then
@@ziglaus Look, those fans bring up valid points. The fact that people see those fans as the problem is the wrong outlook. Not to be pessimistic, but the new anime release has a VERY high chance to flop, and not because fans are complaining.

On the other hand, I am absolutely *hyped* to see what new music we get.

This remake might lead to an open world one piece game that is insanely detailed
Idk tho, the amount of detail put in would definitely help in making such a game
That's where my brain jumped to with the map models.
The maps shown are maybe 1% of the work required for an open world game. Speaking as a dev myself.
@@gats2228 Yeah, we're still a LONG away from such a project, and more realistically, it would be sorta unrealistic for any sort of One Piece MMO to intricately detail each and every island mentioned... but damn if the dream ain't vivid.
@AnonEcho98 Choosing a different starting route in the Grand Line for ultimate replay value; modding out your ship (maybe eventually with sea prism in order to cross the Calm Belt to the different seas); coming across eternal log poses to hidden islands; finding new devil fruits and exploding if you try eating two lol.
The dream is massive, man, but oh so sweet.
Games set in worlds with powers like One Piece has always suffer from not being able to adapt the powers into gameplay. They just become generic fighting games with somewhat unique attack animations.
I hope WIT Studio releases an art book with this concept art once the remake gets started. I love collecting art books and this stuff is fantastic.
I love that analogy with the VAs and Roger’s generation; they’re legends in their own right and will forever be so, but this remake would benefit from handing the torch over to a new set of voice actors. If Oda gave the go ahead for the staff to create their own vision of the series, then I don’t see why we can’t do the same with new VAs and have them create their own spin on the characters
These voice actors are so iconic I just can’t imagine them with different voices. It wouldn’t be the same.
While you have a point, I can't imagine someone else being Luffy being other than Mayumi Tanaka, or someone else being Zoro other than Kazuya Nakai - both of them have such distinguishable voices, that goes for the rest of the Straw Hats. It would be hard to divorce the idea and I think the fanbase would have a hard time accepting that change while the original VAs are still around.
fuck no
@@helloeuphoria4407but the og voice actors won't be around for the entirity of the new one piece (if it's succesful) so it's either this or having to replsce them midway through, which would be way worse.

Megumi Ishitani GOATed. I agree with the lighting sentiment! I don’t want them to go ALL out, at least not until the big hitting moments, but exploring lighting in this adaptation would do wonders
Ong
They can kinda go all-out as long as it's not a weekly tv anime but instead seasonal
lighting yes, mindless effects splashing no
They really should add the SBSs and cover stories into the mix
The photos that we saw look incredible. The shading is beautiful. My gosh. The pacing is gonna be amazing for sure
lmao, i just have this image in my head of Mayumi Tanaka, sitting in a room with Oda and the crew, doing an interview for the position, and her mentioning this probably being her last main role before she retires, and Oda just smiling and nodding like a villain
I have to agree with you about getting new voice actors, and offering the Toei VAs roles as the older generations is a nice tip of the hat to their careers representing the One Piece characters. One casting that came to mind immediately for me would be casting Nami's VA Akemi Okamura as Belle-Mère. Really turn that knife on that moment for long-term fans.
It'd be utterly heartwrenching, and I personally would love to see it.
When it comes to anime remakes, it’s not uncommon to recast the characters for the new iteration. Both Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood and Sailor Moon Crystal featured new voice actors for its characters, with only Romi Park and Rie Kugimiya returning to play Edward and Alphonse and Kotono Mitsuishi returning to play Usagi/Sailor Moon. To my knowledge, Shaman King 2021 is the only anime remake that brought back a majority of the original 2001 cast (with the exception of Yoh Asakura, now played by Yoko Hikasa).
@@theassortedhobbyist
afterwards, in the case of FMA and FMAB both were produced by the same studio and the gap between the last episode of FMA and the first episode of FMAB was not as big as between the Toei anime and the Wit anime
Sounds like a brotherhood vs classic FMA situation. Super excited about this. Now I can finally watch Skypeia.
What do you mean you can NOW watch Skypia?
A personal note about the early village scenery in the series: tbh retrospectively I think it works as intended. The Grand Line is a weird wild wacky fantastical place. All of its oddities are localized within it and knowing what we know now about the past, it feels intentional of whoever crafted the world into the form that exists today. That's why people in the four blues in early One Piece speak of the Grand Line and Devil Fruits as legends: because they are just all fairly normal people in fairly normal locales. With the exception of Gaimon's island I suppose which was exclusively oddities but that's a whole other theory. Point being that I had figured that while it's great that they wanna give each location a unique and vibrant life of its own, that was also the distinguishing difference between the Grand Line and the four blues: to be so normal juxtaposed against the unpredictable.
The islands being normal does not mean they cant have a regular infrastructure, in fact its quite the opposite. Since they have only normal means to go by then fishing and dairy is like the most normal thing you can do!
You're not wrong, but even still, giving each island its own identity within the realm of the ordinary would go a long way. Making Foosha Village a fishing town for example would make it nice and unique from, say, Syrup Village, which IMO seems like a perfect place to keep a cattle farm.
@@greatestcait I agree with all of the points here, but also feel like Foosha doesn't really feel like a fishing village to me in the original. First off, iirc "Foosha" means "Windmill" right? So, right away I'd expect some windmills which implies a milling industry, not a fishing one. Secondly, the "look" of it in the manga, the Toei animation, and the live action all make me think of it way more as a rundown tourist trap. A place whose industry exists mostly in the past and is propped up by outsiders. Maybe it's a place where the "middle class" - if there even is one - of Goa go to visit or maybe it's a place where merchants and pirates alike just go to get a drink. And it's definitely in a kind of unique locale which is near enough to mountains and forests for Luffy to hunt and fight wild animals and for mountain bandits to be a regular occurrence, but it also borders the ocean. This implies that it's on a bay or inlet surrounded by high terrain, probably in a windy location. So what are they milling then? Rice is grown in floodplains in warm climates and wheat prefers wide open plains and most of the area that'd be best suited for that is now covered in Grey Terminal. Maybe in the past those were inland farming villages before being so affected by poverty and the excesses of the nobility that it became what we know it as. So maybe the windmills are a legacy of that time where grain and wild fruits, vegetables, and meat all went on to Foosha through a mountain pass which processed the raw goods and shipped them to a larger port, similar to a crofting town irl. Taking advantage of the terrain to drive the windmills. I honestly don't think Oda thought about it that hard and I don't think that's the direction that Wit is going, but I really do love the thought exercise. It's easy to do the same with Syrup Village and Orange Town also. Syrup village in particular seems like it was almost certainly a plantation town due to Kaya's mansion and the name. Probably it processed molasses or syrup from some sort of crop grown there, hence the name. And we definitely see lots of signs of agriculture there even in the modern day and what's interesting is that the climate there seems like it's more temperate rather than more tropical, so perhaps in the past there were huge maple groves that were cut down over time and became farmland but left the name. Impossible to really know for sure. Especially because One Piece isn't Earth and they may have crops which are too mundane to mention but like nothing we have.
I agree with everything that this internet man has said.
What I am most excited about is the lore expansion (industry of each village, exploring the maps of each location, etc).
The lore is already immense for the world of OP so I didn’t think that it can still be expanded further but here we are.
You've gotta quit sending these "we need to talk" texts, Liam. My heart can't take it anymore.
you don't like talking?
Bro thinks Liam about to break up with him
I know WIT did Ousama Ranking,that anime’s color palette it’s so pretty I think The one piece world would definitely fit with something like that,the concept art already gives that vibe.
Later on in the Toei series you get to see Luffy stabbing himself in the face in the retelling of the East Blue Saga special. I hope the remake of One Piece is very faithful to the manga like having Whitebeard face getting half blown off by Akainu in the Marineford Arc.
I would actually really like it if it looked like that concept art
There’s an actual chance for that since WIT studio has done projects with similar art style before like Ranking of Kings.
@@areadergirl8449Might not be the same. Ranking of Kings looked like that because of Yuji Kaneko and he's not here.

@@pablobecerra8773 fair point✨️
I had to read the Manga to get into One Piece a couple of years ago. It was a MUCH more enjoyable experience than trying to watch the anime. Caught all the way up to Wano, and was able to actually feel hype about Gear 5 releasing.
I am curious to see how far they will go with the uncensored version, it would be amazing to witness just how deadly some attacks are or how much they would hurt. I believe it would put a much more needed emphasis of the strength of the Monster Trio early on in the series.
The one piece hype is real! I love this story and its amazing to see new life being blown into it from the anime and the live action. Really excited to see how they will adapt it!
Reminds me how Ed Blaylock who voiced Fleet Admiral Sengoku in the dub passed away years ago.
he did a brilliant job for the character.
I really just wanna see a 1on1 manga adaption (in terms of story), maybe the only changes being things that Oda wouldve liked to have done different in hindsight. But outside of that, I just want the core experience without the fillers. Something my friends could finally watch, so they will understand t he genius if the story at least in the year 2040 or something. So I maybe have someone in my 50s that I can talk to about it...
A 1 to 1 adaptation would never happen for 2 main reasons: A) there is no point to it. None. It doesn’t offer anything new for people that are familiar with the manga and people who aren’t familiar with the manga wouldn’t notice there are any changes at all because they don’t know the source material. Just look at any movie remake that goes the shot-by-shot route, they are generally awful (the Psycho remake and Lion King live action are just 2 that pop into my head instantly). And B) there is no worse punishment to an artist or animator than to have their creativity and personal voice taken away. Being limited is the worst thing for any creative mind and would only result in a half-baked low-quality product because the animators are just phoning it in. And that’s all it would be: a soulless product. How could anyone want that for something they love so deeply.

When they talked about getting people who love One Piece to work on this project, I was so overjoyed. I feel like each person they interviewed showed that the team as a whole really has a genuine connection to One Piece and a desire to help this project blossom.

Interesting for Oda to give the new animators almost free reign to channel their creative energy. Contrast that to the production of the Netflix live action where Oda had practically direct control like when Netflix had to convince Oda to let Garp appear earlier in the story.
With the new anime, they’re staying true to the story - Netflix can’t be trusted to do the same. (Especially considering the things Oda had to talk them out of, such as hamfisted romance between crew members.)

The whole garp storyline would of probably been better left out it wasnt bad but it felt dragged asf especially near the end
Having three One Piece shows (Toei, Netflix, Wit) concurrently adapting basically the same source material is crazy
Both of them being anime is even crazier. What manga gets two different anime adaptations running at the same time?
You know Sonic the Hedgehog? You probably know this, but in the early 90s, there were two different Sonic cartoons airing at the same time. One was dark and dramatic. The other was a hilarious comedy about chili dogs. And the same guy played Sonic in both shows. Isn't that wild? The same guy playing two different versions of the same guy?

Currently binging the original anime after I got onto it from the incredible Live Action. Will be watching all three as they come out once I've caught up lol.
That’s why it’s the goat.
I know we’re years or even decades away from maybe ever catching up, but as someone who quit watching during Wano cause I couldn’t deal with 4 flashbacks to Pedro’s death during a single episode I will 100% rewatch the whole thing just for real pacing
As someone whos on episode 1004 and would rather eat a bowl of nails without any milk then watch an episode of wano i agree 100%
i was so triggered too was skipping episodes and since 1040 real one piece starts give it a chance
The thing I’m most excited excited about is the fact that they are going to adapt the old style for the first few arcs instead of just using the new newer designs for the characters so it will still feel like old one piece I CANT WAIT
I've been waiting for someone to say it.
Uncensored, more faithful to the anime (regardless what Oda said), animated, directed, produced, and likely voiced* by people who grew up on the source material, this has potential to be amazing.
Embracing the idea of darkness as a canvas for light makes perfect sense to me, but I'm also a photographer, and light - its presence or absence - is the essence of photography.
*Legends? Yes, that's accurate, the current VAs are legends.

Pacing of the One Piece anime is notorious, and puts people off.

Inconsistency errors can and should be fixed now.
The silhouettes and random characters.
Ie: -Roger Pirates are just random dudes in the Toei anime, while we have a scetch of each members now.

Oh, and proper fillers! We don't need the same few dozen of background characters reaction shots every episodes. Especially in Wano Toei just missed a huge opportunity again. So much fight were off-screen'd in the manga and Toei was "loyal" to that -_-
The only thing they done was superespcalating the fight scenes. Wit should tone down the powerlevels. Ie: keep in mind that Crocodile is a 1.9B bounty beast.
Good morning from CAPTAIN USOPP!!!
I really hope they use this opportunity to fix some of the minor inconsistencies that have popped up due to the series length; like cleaning of up some of the foreshadowing and seeding of characters like Sabo and Haki as a whole
1:20 “also because very young artists are cheaper”
And maybe because they expect this project will go on for a long time...
It's not like experienced staff get paid that exponentially more, unless they have a special contract.
This lol. So transparent.
I don’t think oda has much of a budget lol
The concept art reminds me of Ryoko Kui, the author of Dungeon Meshi, and if they follow that path this is going to be amazing
The concept art all looks beautiful, and I wouldn't mind at all if they used that water color style for the actual show.
I just hope they find a voice actor who can nail Luffys laugh, doesn't even have to be the same, but a laugh that makes us smile with it's goofiness every time
Just a gut feeling... ONE PIECE IS REAL!!!
But can we further elevate above?
*"The One Piece"
@@zerodlaw9622Is Real
What's amazing to me is that there is bound to be at least one if not more great minds who will create future manga or animation coming out of those young people hired for remake.
The only critique I can nitpick on this is how we'll watch East Blue once again for the 100th time.
But its not even that big of a deal tbh
They seem very confident that it'll do well enough to get a Season 2, and I'm all for it personally. East Blue is all well and good, but what I'm really excited for is to see their take on Alabasta as the first great arc of One Piece.
Haha ghey have to start from the beginning
It might feel very refreshing since it's planned to have like 25 episodes? But not sure how real that information is
@@greatestcaitAnd I’m really excited about Baratie, Sanji introduction and zoro getting humbled by mihawk, aaaand soooo many other moments it is destined to be PEAK
@@greatestcait it will do well enough to adapt the entire thing
OP is massive af and even the live action was watched by like 80 millions of people lol
I am literally crying right now, punching the air celebrating. I am really thankful to be living at this period of time.
I'm all for new sound fx's. Having Enel blast people with actual thunder and lightning sounds would be terrifyingly cool.
They should not fuck with the music. Make some new music for sure, but the music of the one piece anime IS one piece. I am not at all convinced that a new score could replace it.
Honestly, I’m hesitant to think that THE Arlong Park moment will hit anywhere near as hard in the remake without Overtaken and the walk! I’m sure Wit will do their best to make a great score to go with Luffy busting down the wall to Arlong Park, even if the walk itself isn’t there, but what I’d love more is for the remake to keep the OST from the original and revamp it, re-record the tracks. It’s a huge ask though
One thing I hope they dont lose in the One Piece is the humor of the early Episodes.
For me early One piece has always been more Comedy then Action adventure, and the further we go with the story the more the focus becomes the Action adventure.
In the Beginning they are lighthearted and fun, and they still are towards the end, but they are also much more determend.
I have really high expectations for the one piece tbh.
10:35 or the ppl who looked at the leaked GTA 6 beta footage saying “Wow this game looks horrible!”
People keep saying they’d rather wait for quality and then pikachu face when early reveals aren’t perfect.
That's some bs. This concept art looks amazing. It has a level of detail and shading that would be pretty impractical for an actual anime. So if anything I think we should lower our expectations a bit rather than raising them.
@@pennygirl015 Honestly the concepts are so good that if it was like that in the actual anime I wouldnt even be that mad 😭
That sounds awesome, I really really really hope the series finally gets the anime it deserves
How come despite being 7% of the population, Fishmen are 30% of all pirates?
That just means that ~21% of the population is pirates
i hope it does end up looking like the concept art, I personally find the lines and colors beautiful
I agree about the voice actors. It's a remake and needs a fresh cast. But like you said, a big reason is also the original cast's age. Franky in particular doesn't sound too healthy anymore.
I’m praying that chopper can actually get an iconic voice to match his weird self from pre-timeskip
AND PLEASE KEEP HIM WEIRD POST-TIMESKIP, I love chopper’s animal look and him being too plush in timeskip, mainly cuz of the VA
This seems to be similar to like Dragon Ball Kai or Full Metal Alchemist Brotherhood.. and I’m all for it cause GOD DAMN there’s alotta episodes!
The only question is whether or not WIT Studio will last long enough to adapt the whole thing. We don't know how fast this anime will air, or how quickly it'll cover the source material, but I can't see them getting to Wano in less than 12 or so years, best case scenario.
oh this new adaptation is for sure going to span at least a couple decades, probably even three if oda does his usual thing of "its ending in just a few more years" then continues it for hundreds more chapters. seasonal is going to be much slower than weekly, which has already taken 20 years to get to episode 1000+. its going to be a long long looooong run for sure. im putting my kids and grandkids on the one piece
i think they can catch up in under a decade assuming it's 263 episodes
@@jym2r Lets just say they will adapt 3-4 chapters per ep every 2 years with 25 episodes a season as a rough estimate thats 75-100 chapters per 2 years which is about at worst how fast toei adapts it and at best waay faster so I recon it might be a good 12-17 years to animate the series to the current manga (and thats if it takes 2 years per season which most likely isnt the case especially since it has priority)
@@plaxy It will at least be 350-400 eps to the current manga imo
@@somefatkid2080 3-4 chapters per ep???? Isn’t that like way too fast wtf
That cover art with everyone hanging out on random furniture in the woods is so nice. Usopp looks good with his hair down xD
I really hope the new anime decides to skip the previous episode recap and instead adapts the cover stories. That would be another great way to differentiate themselves and give anime only fans that VITAL information.
I kinda hope that some earlier arc stuff can be fixed or reimagined. Such as the whole conflict of Syrup Village (the set up to the pirate invasion is fine. Battle sucks high key).
Or actively going through with sacrificing pell for real.
I’m excited for this project, but the AoT claim @2:00 claiming it was the anime most responsible for popularizing anime is the west is….just insane.
aot brought anime as mainstream u didn't understood him
@@abdulasneyn6303 it did not lol
I have a few people who I've been wanting to introduce to One Piece but who are put off by the outdated animation and intimidated by the absurd size of it by this point. A new bite-sized remake with the potential to grow with an entire new generation would be perfect to help even more people discover this landmark of a series.

Finally I was waiting for someone to mention the part with Laboon, its the beginning of Alabasta im soo HYPEEED!!
What I gathered from that video is that it's not going to be a "faithful canon recreation of the manga" so it's going to make A LOT of people angry......
and I gotta say that im a little frustrated too 'cause we're going to have a 3rd canonicity which may make theorizing a bit of a pain because of things like "it's like this in this canon but it's like that in the other canon"

I’m very excited for everything! I hope we get information about the music and sound effects staff soon!
I saw people complaining about Usopp looking pale. I don't know why. I mean look at volume 5 of the manga. He's a pretty pale dude. Wit studio is clearly just following the manga properly, unlike toei.
There's some people who really, really want Usopp to be a black guy and I think that's basically all that's up with that. I don't mind if he is or isn't, since it doesn't make much of a difference to his story. I think he's definitely one of the more "ethnically ambiguous" of the Strawhats so adaptations can do whatever and it'll be fine honestly, but people want to feel like they have some representation on the hero's crew. Or at least, that's the more innocent interpretation giving people the benefit of the doubt, there's also just a bunch of straight up racist crazy people on Twitter that should be ignored. I think the live action did a good job with their casting and that so long as the character gets screentime to breathe, their take on Usopp is pretty good and should hopefully satisfy people. OP is already a very diverse world by every metric. I do personally take the interpetation that Usopp would be "mixed" by our standards, but portrayals of his parents have also varied wildly from adaptation to adaptation, so who knows. Internally the One Piece world just doesn't seem to care and we shouldn't be projecting our world's standards onto it so much, but I also don't think that people complaining are necessarily in the wrong mostly. Once you filter out the Twitter brainrot.
That was years ago oda draws ussop with dark skin nowadays
@@Soitisisit oda still draws ussop with black skin in color pages and wanted a black actor to play ussop in the live action , his dad has dreadlocks and he has Afro hair
@@tracark2255 yeah, you should get your eyes checked. Go check the official color spreads and most recent Volume covers with Usopp on them. He looks pretty much the same as always.
I know it's only concept art, and always did, but you cant deny, One Piece in this style would be emotional
I hope the project will have more random interactions within the straw pirates
Early one piece had sooo much of those, but post timeskip there's barely any :(
I am excited to see if zoro’s backstory will be laden with a lot more Wanoesque decor, like they tried to recreate a little piece of home in the dojo.
I wonder if Bink’s Sake song will sound the same
One thing you can’t really replicate is the instruments because the song comes from a Manga
Will the violin and the other instruments sound the same?
I really, really hope so. The composition that they came up with for the Toei doesn't feel like it can be topped in Japanese or English. As a filthy dubs-watcher, I was extremely impressed at how well they adapted the song to English. That's far more work than regular localization and the song has been living rent-free in my head ever since Thriller Bark. I think that Bink's Sake should just be as much of a constant between adaptations as possible. Maybe slight variations, but I dunno. Folk songs - which is what Bink's Sake is in-universe - are remarkably stable across hundreds of miles and years and tend to have a lot of personal significance and retain their melodic and poetic core even if the exact wording and (musical) phrasing differ performer to performer. It'd be really, really good if they could do the same in this meta sense.
Edit: It'd also be really, really difficult to compose something totally new for The One Piece and would be the single most divisive thing if they did. If there's one thing that Toei ever did right it was that episode in particular. I'd say it was a masterpiece and it's one of the few times in over a decade where a piece of media has made me cry.
i hope that in the new remake every episode would have a mini-story after the episode and it will cover the cover stories in the manga. So we can see Enel went to the moon in the anime. It kinda nice if that happens.
Personally I hope they dial down the fan service of women in the show, after timeskip they started taking it too far and making it way over the top
This! I always say OP is my favorite and is a 9.5/10 but the treatment of female characters overall is still like a C. Robin is one of the best characters in anime but she got super heavily nerfed and sexualized. Nami same thing, like why she wears a bra only doesn’t make that much sense to me. Like she is literally just a kid too, like 18 wtf.
The whole Sanji Fishman island thing was stupid as heck.
@@seththebeth shes 18 at the start of the series, 20 after timeskip
The way those concept arts have been created makes me curious how the anime is going to look like. Well, even if the anime's art style is completely the same as those, then it would be something unique.
My only real issue with the new animation is the recoloring on our strawhats. Look at my boy Ussop wheres his melanin gone! I understand the original coloring wasn't always what oda had in mind but i always loved that the main crew were uniquely diverse in that aspect. It helped me connect to the characters just a little more like pretimeskip Robin i genuinely thought she was hispanic the first time we met her with the way she names her attacks and her sense of style. I personally always love to see more people of color in anime and it kinda makes me sad that it gets taken away even if its not that big of a deal
Counterpoint: White Robin could still be Hispanic. It's a cultural-linguistic identity that contains multiple ethnicities. ( But nah, if we had to give her an ethnicity, she's clearly Irish although most of her attack names are French. ) The crew still feels diverse, I think, but I get your point. I dunno if this helps you feel any better about it, but I went to school with a black kid who had green eyes and was even paler than this take on Usopp, so it could just be a more complex example of diversity. I feel like you'd get that from the son of a pirate, especially a pirate on Shanks' crew which seems to get around the world quite a lot more than everyone else.
@Soitisisit I totally get that and I won't argue that Robin could be a lighter hispanic if she were to be one (im hispanic we come in many shades lol) and Oda has written in an SBS where the SH would be from if they were from someplace in the real world like Ussop being from Africa or Luffy being Brazilian. My point more so stands on it being a visual representation bc there's no short amount of lighter and fair skinned characters in anime so having characters especially main characters that fall into those wider ranges of skintones and such helps connect people like myself to these characters bc we can see a part of ourselves in them, for as silly as it sounds it just feels nice to be represented.
Side note, as someone who does enjoy to cosplay on occasion I like dressing as characters that are of my skintone bc is were being honest here most tend to to either very light skinned or very dark skinned so finding character of my shade or similar is kinda hard, I won't say there are none but it would be nice to have more options.
@@chewie_bacon8208 I understand it. I wasn't even considering the cosplay angle. Cosplay is just not one of those hobbies I'm very aware of. But typically I don't see people letting the character's literal appearance stop them from having fun with it and I hope that's the case for you also.
I guess we'll just have to see what they do with him in The One Piece. This stuff is still early concept art and it is important to remember that Japanese people live in one of the more homogenous places on Earth in terms of skin tone and probably aren't even considering implications for non-Japanese fans. If people can provide polite feedback, they might adjust? Who knows. I'm not sure if it's better or worse if they do or don't.
As for me, I don't try to identify with people who look like me but with people who represent ideals that I sympathize with, so this change doesn't mean much to me. There aren't really any characters in One Piece that I can latch onto and say "That looks like me". Probably the closest I've got is a grunt marine, honestly. Maybe Law if I'm being extremely favourable to myself, but even then not really. I don't think it's being done this way to marginalize anyone, at least. I think it's just an oversight. But there's always the live action which gives cosplayers an in. They even cast a black guy for Lucky Roux from Shanks' crew iirc, which I thought was very apt and he's a fan favourite. It reminds me of people I'd possibly be able to meet where I'm from for the name, the personality, and the look.
@Soitisisit absolutely, I can agree with you. Finding characters that share your ideals is just as important, and I'm aware the japanese are very homogeneous and probably aren't considering the implications for the non-japanese fans. I just wanted to throw my two cents in here and give my honest opinion of the concepts and how I feel about it. Regardless I'm excited for it and can't wait to see the work they put out, my complaint is minor at best but who knows maybe by the time The OnePiece cones out the characters will look different, like you said it is just concept art at the moment and whatever the future holds is yet to be seen. Whatever direction they take, I'm still gonna pour myself a nice cup of sake to enjoy this ride with the rest of my nakama.
@@chewie_bacon8208 Absolutely! I enjoyed this little exchange. It's not often you get to have a cordial little conversation in the TH-cam comments. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and hearing out mine.

I wonder if wit is going to be less Pervy than toei because if you’ve seen the anime vs the manga there’s even more “inflation”if you know what I mean.
That was a great video. Honestly I’m super excited. It even made me a bit emotional. One piece deserves it. Also with the live action being so popular, I think even more people are going to want to consume more one piece content. I’m very optimistic
The current pacing is so bad that this remake might actually finish the story first.
The One Piece remake is set to be seasonal and will run alongside the original anime, which is currently in the middle of the Egghead arc and is expected to finish Egghead by Fall 2025. Since each remake season would likely air one year after the previous, it would take much longer to finish the story than the manga or the original anime. For instance, if the remake starts with East Blue in Spring 2025 and each season has 26 episodes (about 6 months), something like Water 7 (Season 4) wouldn’t air until Fall 2028.
To note the manga would have been done with Elbaf by then and the manga would have been in the Final Arc unless there is an arc before the final one.
For the anime I believe that it would be at the end of Elbaf.
I thought it was kind of obvious that a seasonal format is slower than a weekly one simply because seasonal only pumps out 12 to 26 episodes meanwhile weekly you can pump out a good 35 to 47 episodes.

Yes! We truly need new voice actors for new project. Japanese voice actors are so talented you won't feel they are new voice actors. Starting may feel little different but we will surely used to with them.
Honestly, the sound effects have grown on me. When I started watching one piece it annoyed me but after being (mostly) caught up for a good decade they've grown on me. If they suddenly changed them I can imagine there being more people being pissed at Toei than the people who say the change needs to be made in the first place, because anybody who has caught up to over a thousand episodes of the show even recently will probably feel some level of attachment or "normalcy" toward the sound effects and most people hate change when you're trying to fix something that not that many people have complained about.
Edit: P.S this is about the original Toei animation. The new anime should 100% update the SFX.
I wonder if the One Piece voice cast will take part of this new One Piece anime show like they did when dubbing One Piece live action.
I actually hope not. A lot of them are quite old and that will cause problems with such a long-running project.
@@Eddies_Bra-att-ha-grejer also will be airing at the same time as the main one piece anime that would be a big work load

Can't wait for The One Piece.
the way this channel's thoughts are structured and communicated is so refreshing. usually i just wake up in a daze and watch the latest video on this topic, and some haphazard stream of consciousness ensues.
I feel conflicted by the reboot. I know Toei made bad decisions and they still will do the anime; however, I feel the reboot will tarnish the effort of 25 years. Some fillers, extended scenes are beautiful, now even when I know is for new fans, it discredit this work
Counter point: fmab
I agree. I thought the Millenium Dragon filler and G-8 were really good and there's a fair amount of stuff I didn't even realize was filler. A lot of people think Long Ring Long Land was terrible or that adapting the Buggy-Gaimon cover story was a strange choice, but I thought the Foxy Pirates were hilarious and that adapting cover stories is probably the best approach to filler. The only parts where the pacing really killed me were in Dressrosa and Wano. I really don't like the way Toei adapted Wano because it feels like I'll be there for months even if I binge watch the whole thing and some of the samurai are just plain boring and awful. Also there were way too many gags even for One Piece. But even Wano had some parts which I really enjoyed and I feel like a lot of OP's gags are actually the faithful adaptations of the manga. One thing I hope they deal with is the way that Sanji and Vander Decken's behaviour is very similar as portrayed by Toei but we're stuck with Sanji whereas Vander Decken was a villain-of-the-week. And Sanji doesn't really ever improve that much, it's very... annoying.
