This is not coming until like 2026. If they dropped it earlier, i'd be surprised.

Tbh. I thought that Netflix would hint at a 2025 release, so that if the LA releases every other year, they could rotate between the new adaptation and the LA.
On the note of voice actors, I hope they cast new ones. All of them are older and if the Wit adaptation goes through till the end, maybe not all of them will be alive.
Mayumi Tanaka is 69 years old, doing the Wit and Toei voice for Luffy might be too much for her. Same goes for Jimbei who is 77. The youngest of the bunch is I believe Namis VA at 55.So do something bold and cast new ones, especially if they aim for a long run, which the Wit video kinda hinted at, at least that's what I got out from it.

New voices? Ehh, I don't know.

Without new voices, music, art direction, storyboarding, and pacing, this is a waste of time. The original Toei adaptation, while old, is still good and mostly accurate. We also have multiple movies and games retreading these exact scenes a dozen times. I want to see a new imagining of it. That's part of what makes the Live Action so good and exciting. If I wanted the same, I would just keep rewatching the old dvds I already paid for

We already know we will get all these, what is this whining about?

I wonder who'll get to do a new remix/cover of We Are.
I think all the other openings are free game to replace, but you don't go without a new version of We Are to start things off, right?
I feel like this is the kind of thinking that holds the adaptation (whether its this one or the live action) back. The more things held to be sacred, the more limited of an adaptation this becomes, and furthermore, the more difficult it becomes to justify its existence.
Things like We Are, Overtaken, the march on Arlong Park, Bink's Sake, the original voice cast, they're all products of the Toei animation, not the original manga. (Yes, I know Oda wrote Bink's Sake in the manga, I'm talking about the instrumentation and melody, which feels like a Toei creation)
I'm personally interested in seeing what an adaptation of the original manga that is free of those constraints would feel like. Granted, we know that Toei has a hand in this and it won't be completely free of Toei influence, but I would be fairly disappointed if this was just a retread of the original anime.

@Kitsune-Inferno Yes! I would love the hear a new composition of Bink's Brew! I love the original dearly, but I want to see how else it could be interpreted!

I mean, what do you even do with East Blue without ruining things entirely? These are some of the smallest arcs that they already got right in every way. Changes in adaptations are fine, but if they aren't better than the choices made by the original, there's still very little reason to justify it's existence.
As far as I can tell, this isn't being marketed to be doing it's own major thing like the Live Action, so big drastic changes wouldn't really be in my expectations.
East Blue just needs the crew to show off their upgraded animation style, sound direction, voices, music, etc etc and hope they do a good enough job to justify continuing. That's pretty much what all this early promotion material is raising my expectations for. Then they can really start digging into things in the Alabasta saga.
Hell, what we all want is for them to just get to Post Timeskip and fix all of those arcs. But because of the nature of things, we're stuck waiting through everything they're gonna mess with pre-timeskip and hope it makes it to what really needs fixing.

I guess tell it with updated animation, music, art, sound effects, voices and stuff and give it its own audiovisual identity that can be used as a blueprint for later seasons. The manga panels themselves can be set in stone but how you move between them can be interpreted in an infinite number of directions. Sure it will be compared to the former anime, and it will be better in some ways and worse in others.
The episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist vs. Brotherhood that covered the same material are a good comparison.
But ultimately, to me, this first season should be primarily about setting the tone and identity of TOP.

One thing I hope they do, as much as I love LuNa fics, is to get rid of the shipping Toei did for Luffy and Nami. Make him get upset when Nami betrays him like he does in the manga.
-
It is quite possible to simply hire a writer and series director who are better writers and series directors than Oda is at writing and illustrating a comic. If there's going to be more adaptions of any kind of work made then those making said adaption should be given free reign to do with it as they please.

When they first announce best character Zoro's VA and I throw my headphones on to research all their work.

could you elaborate on this? In the manga Luffy is shocked that Nami stole the ship but is still adamant she will be his navigator, and when they meet again at Cocoyashi he doesn't make any move to leave without her.
the anime changes this??

No, that's kept faithful, but in the Buggy arc Toei Luffy is just peachy Nami sold him out to a clown, Manga Luffy has one lil panel Toei didnt adapt where he says "You lied to me!" or something along those lines to smooth over LuNa.

If they do 3 chapters an episode, and did FIFTY episodes a year, it would take them 8 years to catch up to where the manga is now, and 12 years to catch up to where the manga will be at that point. (Chapter 1400 or so, if it's not actually finished well before then.)
(It takes about 7 minutes to adapt a normal chapter. Longer if there's a lot of dialogue, less if its an action sequence... so 2.6 chapters for some and 4.2 chapters for others... but 3 on average.)
And since they AREN'T going full speed at the start, there's zero chance of overtaking things or catching up to the other anime, and this could easily be a looooong runner 20 year project. So yes, they should absolutely get new VAs, Tanaka already wants to retire when the current anime is done, and might not even make it through the 6-10 years there still are to go, there's no way they're strapping her onto a new adaptation.
So if you gotta change Luffy then change everything. The entire cast are 40 year veterans, let some newer talent shine.
So all that said, while the ideal would obviously be to transcribe every manga panel and get a filler free experience, and somethings we know like "Laugh Tale" being clear from the start... I also wouldn't mind if they trimmed just a little bit where we have hindsight?
Like in Thriller Bark, when the General Zombies rise and have all those cool designs... and then do NOTHING but get stomped by Oars. (i will never understand how the original anime didn't take advantage of that to give a bunch of mini fights filler) Maybe just... skip that? Or during Punk Hazard maybe not have the giant death slime chase folks for quite so long?
A lot of Oda's choices are based purely around having a cliffhanger every 15 pages, or jumping focus around constantly so every piece is being followed simultaneously every week, and we don't have to stick quite so hard to that. There's absolutely some restructuring you can do to make some things cleaner, even keeping all the exact same content.

He had a friend compose the music I believe, so that's actually not a Toei thing.
I could be wrong, its been like 15 years since that was relevant information.

I sincerely doubt they'll do a four cour anime. It would be a stroke of luck for this to be a two cour seasonal anime, let alone one cour. They'll probably do two consecutive cours for the first season and cover up through the end of Logue Town in the first season, even though they should really just change the plot and move faster than that.

Yeah, my bad. I wasn't sure on that fact.

I just saw the trailer and came here to check after seeing Wit Studio on it. Simultaneous high quality productions?

@Cockycent said in One Piece anime remake by Wit Studio:
Not everything, but I want some of what I see here for the OP remake
This is pretty much everything I would want from this project.

It would be cool if they could do some things like when Yosaku and Johnny talked about the Warlords, we get proper silhouettes of them instead of the identical swordsmen.

I really hope this will be a success, otherwise Roman Mack wont let us forget it!
