The glimpses of the anticipated remake of theOne Pieceanime,The One Piece, were finally shown in the One Piece Day event, promising a faithful new adaptation of Eiichiro Oda’s popular manga. The vibrant staff revealed for the remake during this event further solidifies this project. WithNetflix and Wit Studio at the helm ofThe One Piece, it’s expected that they will brilliantly bringOne Pieceto life once again in this exciting new endeavor.
However, Wit Studio’s partnership in this remake comes with a certain history that fans should be mindful of. Wit Studio is known for its remarkable work on the first three seasons ofAttack on Titanand the first season ofVinland Saga. While the transition fromOne Piece’straditional animator, Toei, to Wit is not necessarily a negative outcome, it does raise concerns that the upcoming remake could share a similar fate toAttack on TitanandVinland Saga.
After delivering outstanding adaptations, Wit Studio handedAttack on TitanandVinland Sagato MAPPA. Wit Studio has a reputation for producing high-quality anime, but the trend of popular titles being passed to MAPPA, despite Wit’s success is concerning. To ensure the success of the newOne Pieceremake, it’s crucial to avoid this pattern.
One Piece Remake Gets First Look With New Art & Staff Information
Wit Studio has finally revealed the first glimpse of the upcoming One Piece remake, revealing new concept art and the talented staff involved.
The One Piece Remake Shouldn’t Be Handed Over to MAPPA LikeAttack on TitanWas
The Possibility of the One Piece Remake Being Handed Over to MAPPA Is Slim but Concerning
Although the chances of theOne Pieceremake being handed over to MAPPA are small, the historical precedence makes it difficult to ignore. Given thatOne Pieceis equally, if not more, popular thanVinland SagaandAttack on Titan, there is still a possibility this could happen again. However,one of the main reasonsAttack on Titanwas transferred to MAPPA was due to scheduling conflicts. If this is the case, theOne Pieceremake might avoid a similar fate, as reports suggest that this new project is being organized efficiently. With no pressure on the animators to rapidly produce large volumes of high-quality episodes, Wit Studio can take its time and deliver the best possible remake ofOne Piece.
There is also the factor ofMAPPA’s poor reputation for allegedly overworking its employees, a concern widely discussed in the anime community. With over a thousand chapters to adapt, scheduling conflicts could arise, and in such a scenario, it’s crucial to give the studio ample time to manage the workload. Unfortunately, MAPPA has allegedly struggled with this in the past as seen during the release ofJujutsu KaisenSeason 2, where tight schedules led to concerns about the well-being of their animators.
Another reason theOne Pieceremake is best suited for Wit Studiois to preserve and elevate Eiichiro Oda’s legacy even after his manga concludes. Wit Studio’s slow, but faithful adaptation in a streamlined manner consisting of high-quality episodes will keep the series alive for years even after the manga comes to an end. Therecently released concept art forThe One Pieceis a testament to the incredible potential of this adaptation under Wit Studio’s care. By avoiding unreasonable demands from fans and allowing Wit Studio the time and creative freedom to deliver, thisOne Pieceremake should remain with them as long as possible to prevent the same fate asAttack on Titan.
