One Piece remake will have an announcement on One Piece Day
One Piece is gaining global popularity, and an anime remake has been announced to further boost its popularity. Wit Studio's president stated the reason for the remake in an interview. One Piece Day is expected to bring more news about the remake, but exact details have not been confirmed. Fans should keep their expectations grounded.
George Wada stated that the One Piece remake was necessary due to the outdated 4:3 format of the original anime. With the introduction of 4K screens, fans of the anime may find it difficult to watch, requiring significant effort. To address this issue, the anime will be remade in a format that is more appealing to modern audiences, ensuring that anime fans can enjoy the show without the effort required.
The second and arguably most important thing is that Wit Studio plans to change the pacing in The One Piece, aiming to improve the dragged-out arcs and adapt more pages from the manga. The anime will extend scenes to ensure length and adapt only a few pages, which is not ideal for gaining fans. The remake will address this issue, as the manga has over 1000 chapters, allowing the staff to adapt more pages per episode, ensuring a more engaging experience for fans.
