WIT Studio and the challenges of making a new part of One Piece
Because WIT Studio is responsible for the new version of the anime One Piece, an anime series that is considered a monument in the anime world, the studio certainly has to spend a lot of manpower to ensure the integrity of the work. With that comes the consequences of balancing the project with other famous anime.
The first part of the anime, "East Blue Saga", has been remade many times, so fans can't help but worry that there will be a shortage of animators for The One Piece. The Studio's CEO even had to search for animators globally, which raised doubts: Do we really need a new version of One Piece?

When does The One Piece premiere?
There is currently no official information about the release date, but fans hope that the remake can premiere at the end of 2024, which is at the end of One Piece Jump Festa 2024 to celebrate the 25th anniversary of One Piece's publication. There's nothing better than seeing a new beginning for the series during its anniversary.
Many fans believe that with the talented hands of WIT Studio, this anime adaptation will be extremely epic and may be the largest One Piece animation project to date, only after the original series.
