In a thrilling announcement for anime enthusiasts worldwide, Netflix has revealed the production of a new anime series titled THE ONE PIECE, starting from the iconic East Blue saga of the beloved manga “ONE PIECE”. Additionally, Eiichiro Oda’s early work, Monsters 103 Mercies Dragon Damnation, is also set for an anime adaptation, premiering in January 2024.
A Fresh Take on ‘ONE PIECE’
THE ONE PIECE is being produced by WIT Studio, renowned for their work on SPY x FAMILY and Attack on Titan (Seasons 1-3). This new adaptation promises to provide a unique experience distinct from the long-running TV anime series that has been a fan favorite for over 25 years. The production committee, comprising Shueisha, Fuji Television Network, and Toei Animation Co., aims to reimagine Luffy’s adventures with cutting-edge visual technology, offering both new and longtime fans a fresh perspective on the East Blue saga.
Celebrating 25 Years of ‘ONE PIECE’
2022 marked the 25th anniversary of Eiichiro Oda’s “ONE PIECE”, a manga series that has sold over 510 million copies globally. The franchise’s popularity continues to soar with the live-action ONE PIECE series on Netflix and the ongoing TV anime series produced by Toei Animation.
