The One Piece remake anime has shared a new update during One Piece Day 2024, revealing the first look and staff working on the series! Announced late last year as part of the 25th-anniversary celebration for the One Piece anime, the series is receiving a full rebooted anime series from Netflix and WIT Studio. This new take will start with the East Blue saga and has been relatively quiet since the announcement in December.

As promised ahead of the eventful weekend, The One Piece shared a major update during the One Piece Day 2024 event. This included a first look at the concept art for the in-progress remake and a full confirmation of the key staff involved. The concept art showcased various parts of the East Blue Saga but unfortunately did not come with a release date or window. Check out its concept art below:

The One Piece reboot will be directed by Masashi Koizuka for WIT Studio. Hideaki Abe is serving as assistant director, Taku Kishimoto is handling series composition, Kyoji Asano and Takatoshi Honda are providing character designs and serving as chief animation directors, Yasuhiro Kajino is handling creature design, Eri Taguchi serves as prop designer, Ken Imaizumi and Shuhei Fukuda are action directors, and Tomomori Kuroda is the art director.

The One Piece will be streaming worldwide on Netflix upon its premiere. However, no release date or window has been announced at the time of this publication. Netflix describes their new take on the classic franchise as such: “Produced by the renowned WIT Studio (SPY x FAMILY, Seasons 1-3 of Attack on Titan) in collaboration with Shueisha, Fuji Television Network, and Toei Animation Co., THE ONE PIECE hopes to provide viewers with a fresh yet familiar experience, utilizing cutting-edge visual technology to reimagine Luffy’s adventures through the beloved East Blue Saga.”
