This Has Never Happened Before in The History of The One Piece Anime

One Piece has been a modern marvel in terms of the art / animation quality in a weekly release. Pushing the boundary how high quality an anime can look being a Long Running series. However for the first time I'm aware of, history of anime has been made. One Piece is going on a 6 month hiatus to increase production quality, music, sound effects, and be uncensored. I feel someone in management at Toei Animation saw The One Piece Remake being done by NETFLIX and are getting concerned their product will be second fiddle to them.

Dressrosa definitely needed a remake. They adapted 102 chapters into 118 episodes. There should never be more episodes than manga chapters for that same arc.

[@SirNafurious]

118 Episodes?? That's ridiculous

@@SirNafurious worst offender in the whole anime imo is how gear 5 kong gun is not portrayed as a quick burst springing out of luffys arm.. but a power struggle like energy beam battle from dbz... works with g3.. kinda... but terrible for a king kong gun that should start at 100% and hen only slows down strugglign to beat doffy.. and then... get more power? i hated that i loved the recap version of that punch.. leaves arm.. half a second long clash.. and hits doffys face.. doffy hits dressrosa..^^

Fun fact...if every episode adapted 3 chapters into a single episode from beginning to end of Wano, you'd get about or close to 400 Episodes give or take. One Piece was always begging for a remake. Every Arc would have looked like this if remade with better pacing - East Blue - 32 Episodes. Arabasta - 40 Episodes. Skypeia - 28 Episodes. Water 7 Saga - 46 Episodes. Thriller Bark - 16 Episodes. War Summit Saga - 36-40 Episodes. Fishman Island Saga - 19-21 Epiosdes. Punk Hazard - 16-18 Episodes. Dressrosa - 34-40 Episodes. Zou - 8-12 Episodes. Whole Cake Island - 28-30 Episodes. Wano Country - 50-60 Episodes. Imagine how much better OP anime could be if they reedited and condensed everything to something like this. It'd be amazing. Im all for it. But it makes me wonder. Maybe they'll have WIT Studios do the first half while Toei focuses on improving the second. Would certainly make rewatching it better and finally get all the naysayers who don't want to watch 1000 Episodes to finally budge.

[@clvz7773]

Unfortunately animating 3 chapters into 1 episode is not possible for some chapters that do require a bit of length to kind of absorb the impact that Oda wanted to make .

[@azhankhan4538]

Golden rule is 2 chapter almost every anime follows this

[@StarSoulMac]

This is the perfect way to do this. As someone who didn't want to watch 1000 episodes i got pretty far since i reached zou but the new world needs to be condensed that's why i haven't carried it on past zou cause the episodes are so long post timeskip that i feel to just read it but it don't feel the same compared to watching it

[@twirlyybrows]

[@shoego]

Yeah, ONE PACE becomes official.

[@somefatkid2080]

one pace still has heavy pacing issues they adapt like 2 chapters per 33 minutes this was the best thing toei could of ever thought of 3 chapters per episode is PEAK pacing

[@saintsleep]

One pace is made by people who have barely any experience in filmmaking, they cut down exposition and things that are necessary to build emphasis or tension in a scene just because its a "waste of time". I am aware one piece suffers from pacing issues, but removing shots that build emotion and create impact for viewers so that you can save time, hurts the end product. It is better to leave something like this in the capable hands of people like WiT studio and the team at Toei behind these new remakes of what is notoriously one piece's worst arcs in terms of animation as well as pacing, especially if oda is involved in something like this.

[@sebagomez4647]

@@saintsleep To be fair its not even remotely fair for the One pace team. they have to cut shit and syincronize audio and sound effects. toei has the raw video with all its layers separated the work they will pull off will be several orders of magnitude better.

[@TheInfiniteDraw]

One Pace is garbage and always has been. They edit everything down so far that they neuter all sense of build up and tension in the foolish sense of trying to match the Manga as frame perfect as possible. Except that, animation and manga are consumed differently and what works for one doesn't necessarily work for the other. One Pace was just such a bad way to consume the show.

[@snintendog]

@@TheInfiniteDraw cant change the fact TOEI already neutered those scenes bud.

Even if you are an anime only, anyone with the virtue of patience would see how this results in a much more enjoyable experience for you in the long run.

Specialy when some fanbases have to wait 2 or 3 years to see the next season of their show

[@ArchonKujo]

To the point that I'm not even really much of a One Piece watcher yet, But knowing the fact that someone in the production has redrawn these scenes from the time skip truly is showing how much One Piece as a series improves their visuals.

[@ashtonderojas821]

Punk Hazard and Dressrosa needs a remake with its pacing as well. Also it gives Oda sensei a few months to get ahead with Elbaf so when it comes time to adapt it they have content to go from the get go. I think Toei probably heard about One Pace on discord and though why not do it ourselves? It will be official, it will be easier for new watchers to get into without feeling overwhelmed by the episode count and allowing animators to flex their creative muscles on prior arcs would allow it to be a GOAT show for future generations.

Or maybe you got to that point.

[@tupanar4o]

Dressrossa and Whole cake would’ve been so peak if remade with better pacing and animation. Maybe not so much Whole cake but Dressrossa definitely.

[@gremmythoumeaux2393]

Remember how there was a filler arc before Dressrosa only for it to turn out to be 3 episodes and the 3rd had canon material? I can’t imagine how Toei thought that would help with pacing. Adding canon material to filler episodes defeats the purpose of filler. 🤦

[@ReiseLukas]

The point of Toei doing stuff like that had nothing to do with pacing. Toei almost NEVER had the luxury to pace the show how they wanted. Anime should never start as soon as 2 years after the manga started. Their pacing is dictated by the rate the mangaka can release chapters. If the anime moves too fast that leads to different problems than what they've been having. The Remake has more freedom than Toei can dream of. 27+ years of material for WIT Studios to make One Piece as good as they want it to be. A six month hiatus is probably the best thing they can ask for. That widens their typical 40+ chapter gap from the manga to nearly 60+ chapter gap. That will give them more room to pick up the pace, not as much as we might want but it will be significant

[@anonisnoone6125]

@@ReiseLukas Toei wasn't forced to keep releasing OP weakly. They could've chosen to release 40eps/yr but they don't do that. Toei's pacing is controlled by the manga chapter releases cos the company is too greedy to stop and take breaks.

@@anonisnoone6125 A studio isn't making anime out of the goodness of their hearts, they need to make money or else no anime. Breaks cost a lot of money.

@@ReiseLukasthat’s assuming the series would still be popular and warrant an anime. You can’t use pokemon because it’s design was selling the games.

[@Avarn388]

Honestly I’m down for this. Fisherman’s island really did have some awful pacing and wasn’t well animated. Toei seems to realize that One Piece is now global. They aren’t the sole producers of the content outside the manga with the Netflix series and the Wit remake. They know that if they need to adapt and change. And honestly I’m all for it. The production schedule for weekly anime have always been a big problem. Folks cite Hunter x Hunter 2011 but the problem is that series was an outlier. You had a very good schedule and a lot of completed material, plus some talented animators. The current OP anime does have the talent. But as it stands, the schedule isn’t enough. All in all, I hope this works out for them. Because I can see this being beneficial for Toei as it gives Oda more time for manga chapters and possibly will be the end on ongoing weekly anime.

[@danotazmedia]

For the most part I agree with most the points you made in this video! I think that this hiatus the one piece anime is taking for the next few weeks is a good thing and will definitely help improve the quality of their production for the second half of egghead! I’m also really excited for the new remastered version of egghead and think it was something that was very much needed! However I don’t think the view the new Netflix remake as a threat! In fact Toei probably wants The One Piece to do well since they are an active part of the production committee!

[@auxtaku3449]

Aint. Nobody gonna jump ship from the toei version of the one piece anime to the wit studio version unless they are currently caught up to the manga or are going to catch up soon they might watch both at once i know i will but im not going to stop watching the toei version Everybody who watches the toei animation version of one piece only and doesn't read the manga wants to know how one piece is gonna end. And nobody's gonna jump ship just because it has better or higher quality animation, you'd have to wait forever for it to catch up.

[@marioramos7637]

[@brifflings]

[@dracoblizzard7944]

My only concern now is Oda, we're getting less and less chapters per year. Even if the Toei OP anime slows down to a seasonal format, I doubt they'd go below 24 episodes a year. Problem is, Oda only creates about 30 chapters a year. Sure, it would be better than 0.5 chapters/episode, but 1 chapter/episode is still a terrible pace compared to other Shonen. Best case scenario (for us manga readers, sorry anime-onlies) they give each pre-Wano post-timeskip arc a remake. Between Dressrosa and Whole Cake, they would buy themselves a considerable amount of time to fall behind on the current manga. If they adapt 2-3 chapters/episode for these remakes, it should take them about a year and a half to go through them alone. With the other arcs, they could easily pass 2 years, and if they stop making an episode a week, it could easily take 3 years. Then, we'd have enough backlog for 3 whole years of 2 chapters/episode modern OP. If they switch that to a 24 episodes/year format too, we might actually make it to the end of the series at 2-3 chapters/episode.

This is actually more cost efficient for Toei, since they are mostly are just gonna draw over the Fishman which will take less work than actually redoing everything ground up.

[@visoth7791]

My main criticism with One Piece Anime and the new style that has shown up since Wano, is the aura effects and laser beams. It seems based on one of the preview images, we will be getting these aura & laser beams in the remaster. That means Fishmen Isle will have these haki auras and lasers that were originally not there. This could be the main thing that puts me off from watching it. The pacing and sound effect improvements are definitely a big plus and motivator for me to watch it weekly. But I signed up for silly pirate battles. Not DBZ Ki battles. And Toei has shifted towards Dragonball Supers style of fighting in the past couple years. "How do we display that X is stronger than Y? Give them a more flashy and annoying aura around them. Color it differently as well! Make it have an annoying sound effect and flash the viewers eyeballs for good measure." Luckily for me, even if the remaster doesn't suit me. I still have the Remake to look forward to, made by a completely different studio (very unlikely Wit Studio will also include DBZ auras). And even if that fails to live up to my expectations...I still have the Manga. I say all this criticism, as one of the biggest One Piece fans.

I'm glad they chose fishman island to start the remaster, since it's the frist arc in the new world 👍 This makes me think that they might actually remaster everything between fishman island and wano eventually too 😳

[@Ticking-time-bomb]

@chibi-Review did you see the new One piece fan letter (a spin off ep that focuses on the ppl of the islands of one piece instead of pirates) basically a slice of life OP

[@iliketurtles89-c6v]

nga took 1 good look at a frame and yapped allat 😭

[@Herc_G.]

All I’m hearing is they’re putting in maximum effort for Kuma’s backstory. I have a feeling we’re getting some of the most heartbreaking media we’ve gotten in a while. Spiderman fight is also gonna go crazy

[@meenalmishra1804]

21 ep from 51 ch is genuinely very impressive, its going to be fast enough to be weekly+ dressrosa NEED it

[@StormBreakr]

You can reanimate and trim it down as much as you want. You couldn't pay me to sit through that arc again.

[@deadendxx5549]

I really like what there doing for one piece its showing how much they really care about it. cant wait for April next year yk that ep gonna go crazy.

[@hangry3102]

With this better pacing I'm just glad that the anime and animators alike are going to get better taken care of in general.

[@evolver2737]

I see the remaster of the fishman island arc a funny way to give everyone near fishman a little sneak peak to the current animation so they can look forward to it by the time they catch up

[@doughytown4188]

Finally… One Piece Kai. My only complaint is that the pacing problems began much earlier than post-timeskip.

[@johnhallman3611]

Makes me wonder if only everything after the timeskip will be redone while the remake will only go as far as Post-Marineford.

[@mechajay3358]

The animehiatus will be more beneficial as the manga will get more time before anime starts catching up. And speading that hiatus releasing the previous arcs arcs with updated visuals and less filler is smart way to do it.

[@karlsingh9076]

True, and I think this will make or break Toei Animation in the long run

[@Lorfarius]

Why? They have the rights until it ends.

[@arceptor]

@@Lorfarius yeah toei even let wit remake lol

[@jamesadvincola9687]

Tori been around long long before you were born. They ain’t going anywhere

[@shadowolf2292]

12:35 Daima’s production has already completed and has for a while. Diama was in a 2-year production schedule. So any of the godlike pieces of animation in current OP out of the last 2 years were made during Diama’s production. This break has nothing to do with Diama. Toei has two completely different staff on both DB and OP. This is a testament of how treating your workers greatly should be the norm in the anime industry and can hopefully set a standard for how most studios should treat their animators.

[@SJNaka101]

Man, it would be so sick if toei remakes post-ts basically in tandem with wit remaking pre-ts, so by the time theyre both done we have a complete, beautiful, well-paced one piece.

[@EastRonan]

i would rather have wit do pre and post all together, toei is good but i dont want them to do any of the remakes, just help out is enough

[@nikgokuhil]

even if its 6 months hiatus, we would have like 18 chapters extra considering that Oda has to take his scheduled breaks, not to mention other holidays in between

[@bn5868]

This is great news for the new one piece fans. I stopped watching the anime and switch over to the manga during the fisherman island arc cause the pacing was so slow.

[@gosukelee5]

I can lie they deserve a break they've been going extra hard with the animation, but I wanna ask, I know we've suffered for years but i dunno i think we're eating too much. We have a live action, one piece remake, manga still very strong, anime looking like a movie each week. NOW we're gonna get better pacing, less cencorship. bruhhh this feels like One Piece reparations damn. berserk and tokyo ghoul need this XD. but at the same time f* that we've been trashed for YEARRSS we deserve this

[@rikueiku]

I gotta say toei has gotta be the BEST animation studio I mean I do not know how their animators are able to keep up with this like HOW IS IT ALREADY RELEASING plus there have not been any scandals it abttgubg its truly remarkable

[@yugalkhanal6967]

The flights coming up are insane so I'm happy with them taking their time to create something better.

[@nbrem3650]

As an avid one piece watcher I am totally down for this and am prpared to rewatch these "new" episodes and am waiting patiently for the wit version to, but thinking about people who wanna start or are very early into one piece this is gonna be really confusing

[@kingofhelllucifer1626]

On the side of friendly competition, I was under the impression that Toei was involved in the project in some fashion, even if it just means they only get a cut of the revenue, so I’m not so sure about that reason, but regardless of the motivations, it’s a positive outcome so I’m all for it. If honestly they could do that more often, meaning breaks for the anime replaced by a remastered version of certain arcs like Dressrosa, that would be so good

[@jaan08011]

i would say keep Katakuri's observation haki sound effect bc it sounds so good even though it first came up during drum island. But yeah most sounds like the explosion blasts and heavy footsteps sound really outdated

[@diamondmasterandwillythecat]

They get some extra time to work on the sceond half of egghead as well. We eating really good next year

[@denaze05]

Talking about One Piece Music from Dark Souls I might just sub, this is what my life is about

[@Abyssionknight]

I'm honestly surprised they're going this route. With the Pre-Timeskip content they went the route of 'Episode of' tv specials that were basically just arcs turned into movies. I kind of just assumed they'd do that post timeskip too eventually, though I guess with how long those arcs get it, it kind of makes sense to do them as condensed episodes instead.

[@mrbanks456]

I think this hiatus is mainly for increasing the gap between the anime and the manga. If they're aiming for quality, then they're probably going to improve the pacing, which means they need more material to adapt.

[@derrickmiles5240]

Fishman island is underrated. It has a lot of good moments and characters. Hachi, Camie, Sharly, Pappagu, Neptune-jamon. We got Arlong's backstory with Fisher Tiger and Jinbe. Oh, Mjosgard. Shit, we had no clue back then, what Oda was cooking with Mjosgard. Imagine telling people back then, that Mjosgard would **spoilers** ...become a martyr for mermaids and fishmen, and then be executed by the actual moon man. Lol.

[@Rojiace]

The fact One Piece has been going on consistently for years is nuts to hear it's going on Hiatus. They should have gone seasonal years ago or at least two seasons a year. Tori has every right to be afraid cause the remake looks ridiculously good, and doesn't have to worry about catching up so it can be concise as it needs to be.

[@Pdf404_doc]

Now i can sit aside freely thinking that one piece haters will not have anything to hate on once the pacing is fixed😌

[@danielssss1342]

Finally, new sound effects! after god knows how long!

[@cruiser332]

I can totally see how once fishman island ends and egghead part 2 starts that the other team will be working on punk hazard remake so that it can air after egghead to have a gap before starting Elbaf and then if Elbaf has a chance or they think it's reasonable to make Dressrosa they will do that and bring it during a break!

[@richcast66]

My older brother stopped watching One Piece around Fishman island. He has no excuse to get back on now

[@figbloppa7183]

New sound effects seems impossible for Toei, I'm intrigued.

[@johnstewart1502]

Toei as well as the rest the people involved with One Piece anime, you know Shueisha and the TV studio are working together as a collab. The whole point is for you to jump from the wit anime then if you can’t wait you move into the Toei anime or the manga. It’s not about competition, it’s about creating more one piece fans with a more palatable experience. Toei has been remaking saga since the beginning starting with Episode of East blue. Those are pretty good as far refreshers go but also didn’t hit the same emotional beats with movie length. With the length of newer arcs and how quick they can finish a movie remake it was probably smarter to do weekly episodes to keep one piece on air during the hiatus.

[@bryanmerel]

Make sense that they Hiatus. The Anime is really going close to the manga. I wouldn't even mind if One-Piece go seasonal for now on.

[@Taurean_SAMA]

4:20 OMG they will cook 😱

[@VentiVonOsterreich]

I'm glad you're still alive and well

[@ervinfxps1498]

Who else feels mad nostalgic with the Majula music in the background

[@MicaW4VE]

After egghead is completed in the anime they should go on another hiatus and start remastering previous post timeskip arcs to allow elbaf content to build up

[@suba6639]

Aw come on Chibi, show the Zou Arc some love.

[@DarkEclipse23]

Zou arc was better than Thriller Bark and Fishman Island. Only because it was appropriately shorter to give way on what the other crew did and to set up both WCI and Wano.

[@DarkEclipse23]

I mention Thriller Bark because while I love the theme the story felt like it was. On pause. Like. Going through the episodes it was so dragged out that only 5-7 minutes had anything actually happen. The episodes were plagued by recaps and just. Long stare downs.

[@sageofsixpaths8392]

Careful guy's, we're soon gonna get a wave of "the old version is nostalgic" people. I swr these guys are plague to the growth and progress of the one piece anime. Imagine being disappointed they're tryimg to fix the one and only criticism of the show🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️🤦🏾‍♂️

[@ajbrown3157]

1:04 again disagree. Dress Rosa I’ll give you that sucked but fish man island was to show the results of the time skip, punk hazard showed how to deal with logia’s as well as set up the emperor system and hype kaido. By no means do I think they were bad (except dress Rosa)

[@AJRetro]

I agree

[@mohit.d.jain98]

None of the arcs sucked in terms of writing. Dressrosa was fucking peak. It's my favorite arc. But in terms of "pacing", all post time skip arcs suck ass

[@ZelotKing-dk1qh]

My plan is to watch both at the same time, 1 episode a week at a time for both. And if the remake goes faster I'll just watch the og one up to whatever the remake is at
