Brian Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Netflix funding an anime remake starting in East Blue using studio Wit. I am all for this. The original animation is rough and could definitely use a refresh. Add that One Piece anime has so much filler that it’s hard to recommend it to anyone. Netflix can create the definitive version similar to the treatment Hunter X Hunter got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghost_MH Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I'm all for good animation, no filler, and no crazily stretched out fights version of One Piece. I really love the One Piece manga, but I do not watch the One Piece anime. I only ever jump on and watch a fight or two, but even then, I don't watch much because the fights are often so stretched out since Toei really seems to want the series running all year round. Would be nice if Netflix named it something else to make it easier to differentiate it from the original series. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spork3245 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 So basically a Dragon Ball Kai version of One Piece? I’ve heard/read that a lot of the filler in One Piece is actually very good (especially compared to the god awful filler in Naruto), but I’ve yet to watch the show.

This is a full remake from a different studio with all new animation. The One Piece anime's filler is fine, especially compared to like Naruto. It's the pacing that's terrible, though. Just a glacial plod through some fantastic sources material. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s right, I forgot that Kai was mostly remastered and only a handful of parts were redrawn. They did re-record all the voices for Kai.

Greatoneshere Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I'm down for it but I don't see the point - there's a charm to old One Piece. I don't like stretched out fights but the filler arcs can just be skipped easily enough already, which is what I do. WIT Studio is great so this should look awesome but it's a shame this will turn away people from watching the original. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xbob42 Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Are they gonna make it not look like shit? I can't fucking stand how ugly One Piece is. Goddamn the characters look like garbage. It ain't charming, it's creepy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brian Posted December 18, 2023 Author Share Posted December 18, 2023 I’m all for a high budget animation on the original source with no filler, no drawn out arcs and no 4-5 min recap before every episode. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't find it creepy at all myself, it's a particularly unique fantasy world compared to most tournament shonen fighting anime so it's quite refreshing actually. But that's Eichiro Oda's style.
