Remastered Fish-Man Island arc with improved pacing, effects, and music.
One Piece manga: over 100 volumes sold 500m+ copies, anime over 1100 episodes, and live-action adaptation.

On Saturday, October 12, 2024, the official One Piece X (formerly Twitter) account teased a big announcement for both the anime and manga. There was a lot of speculation as to what the announcement could be about. Finally, the news was revealed on October 13, 2024. It was confirmed that the One Piece anime will be going on a break till April 2025.

This came as a shock to One Piece fans, as they couldn't quite believe that the anime would go on such a long hiatus. According to the staff, the break is needed because the studio has been releasing high-quality episodes on a weekly basis. Some fans might be disappointed that they'll have to wait for over 5 months to watch the next One Piece episode, but the series will take care of that by airing the remastered version of the Fish-Man Island arc.

What Will The One Piece Remaster Be Like?

New sound effects
New music
New shading

The announcement stated that the 57-episode arc would be condensed into just 21. Aside from improving the pacing, the anime will also be adding new effects and shading to make the episodes look more modern and visually pleasing. Additionally, they will add new sound effects and music, which has been a big qualm for many fans.

This decision is also beneficial to the voice actors, as many of them, especially the main cast, have been working constantly. It has adversely affected their health, so a break will serve them well.

Furthermore, fans will also get the opportunity to see One Piece Fan Letter, a new project that covers the novel written by Tomohito Ohsaki. It will be directed by Megumi Ishitani, one of the most talented directors of the modern era. It will have a runtime of 30 minutes, and it will be released on Netflix on October 26th, 2024.

One Piece Is In A League Of Its Own

One piece anime characters: Monkey D. Luffy, Roronoa Zoro, Sanji, Nami, and Usopp

One Piece manga began serializing in 1997. So far, it has released over 100 volumes. The One Piece manga has sold more than 500 million copies, making it the highest-selling manga series of all time.

The One Piece anime started airing in 1999. Presently, the anime has released more than 1100 episodes. Despite the big number, the One Piece anime does not have too many fillers like some of the other famous series. One Piece is also one of the few series that has a live-action adaptation. The initial season was widely successful, which is why it has been renewed for two more seasons.

One Piece is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
