One Piece hasn’t even been finished yet and a remake of the anime is already in development. Now there are the first images teasing a completely new look

You want to try One Piece but don’t want to fight your way through 1,122 manga chapters and 1,115 episodes of the anime? Then Netflix has two alternatives for you: The live-action film adaptation, which is currently working on season 2And a remake of the animated series that starts from the beginning.

What does the remake of One Piece look like?

The remake is officially titledTheOne Pieceand is being produced by Netflix together with Studio Wit. The project is currently still in its concept phase, so the release is likely to be a while yet.

But now there are at least some initial concept images and a handful of details that are slowly but surely painting an increasingly concrete picture of The One Piece.

What you should know about The One Piece

Here is an overview of the most important information:

  • Everything from the beginning:The One Piece starts all over again, with the story being shortened to the most important events in order to appeal to newcomers in particular.
  • The end is in sight (for now):A new edition of the East Blue saga is currently being worked on. The story will end as soon as Ruffy, Zorro, Nami, Sanji, Lysop and Chopper leave Logue Town;
  • It depends on the fans:Whether it continues after that depends entirely on how well the series is received and how much interest there is in it.
  • A wider picture:The picture format corresponds to modern standards – i.e. 16:9 instead of the old 4:3 ratio.
  • The platform is of course fixed:The One Piece will run exclusively on Netflix.

The new 20-minute behind-the-scenes video now shows exactly what The One Piece will ultimately look like. And the manga creator Eiichiro Oda apparently gets his way, as he doesn’t want the remake to simply copy his original

Instead, Wit Studio has opted for its own look,which could almost have come straight out of a children’s book. To achieve this, studio boss Masashi Koizuka has, according to his own statement, primarily put young artists from his team to work on The One Piece. After all, they grew up with One Piece and can incorporate this into their work

When exactly The One Piece will start on Netflix is currently not known.But you probably shouldn’t expect it before 2025.
