About Wit Studio

Wit Studio is one of the most popular anime studios in the world. It has produced many masterpieces, which have cemented its place among the best anime studios. Some of the anime produced by Wit Studio are Attack on Titan, Spy x Family, Ousama Ranking, Vinland Saga, etc. The animators working with the studio are truly masters of their craft, and given their recent showing, it is impossible for them to make a bad adaptation. However, One Piece is going to be their biggest project to date, and they will have to work hard to live up to the standards set by Toei Animation.

6. Adapting The East Blue Saga

Where It All Began

According to the comments made by the team involved in the project, the remake will adapt the East Blue Saga. It is hard to deny that the East Blue Saga is one of the most important parts of the story, as it sees Luffy starting his adventure and recruiting new crew members. The East Blue Saga covers some of the most incredible moments in the story, such as Luffy giving Nami the Straw Hat, Zoro dueling Mihawk, Sanji feeding food to his enemy, etc. The East Blue Saga is amazing, which is why Wit Studio is targeting it for the remake. Whether the remake covers the arcs beyond this saga remains to be seen.

5. Improved Pacing

Easier To Sit Through An Episode

One problem that many fans have with the series is the pacing. For a long time, the One Piece anime has had to include additional content in an episode to stretch it out. This is mainly done to prevent the anime from getting too close to the manga, which can cause a lot of complications.

The Wano Country arc had a steady pace, which made it extremely enjoyable. So, the One Piece remake will be making adjustments to the East Blue Saga. The episodes will have almost no filler content, which will make it easier for new fans to get into the series. They won’t feel that watching the anime is a chore. So, this is something that Wit Studio will definitely be working on.

4. Modern Animation

Appeal To Younger Audience

One Piece started to air in 1999, making it one of the oldest-running anime of all time. Back in the 90s, anime had a distinct style. People who watched the anime as it aired found it perfectly normal, but newer fans may not be fond of it.

The anime industry has seen a massive increase in the production of anime. More and more studios have emerged, allowing for manga to be adapted into anime. Almost all the new anime have a modern style of animation, which is rather distinct. To satiate the needs of modern fans, Wit Studio will remake One Piece with updated animation. This way, the anime will not feel outdated.

3. Updated Openings And Endings

Same Music With Better Visuals

One Piece anime has many great opening and ending songs, which have cemented their place in the hearts of the audience. We Are and Believe are two of the most iconic openings in the anime’s history, and fans hum them to this day.

As Wit Studio will be working on updating the animation for the episodes, there is every chance that it will do the same for the openings and endings. Otherwise, they will feel out of place. The East Blue Saga has many iconic moments, making them perfect for being used in the openings and endings.

2. New Music

To Elevate Important Moments

One Piece has released many iconic OSTs over the years, which have helped enhance certain moments in the story. To this day, fans remember Shanks arriving in Marineford while the Very Very Strongest played in the background. With time, these OSTs have become repetitive.

The Wit Studio remake of One Piece will surely look to address this issue. Considering it is one of the most creative studios around, it should have no problem coming up with something new.

1. Paying Homage To The Manga

Acknowledging The Author

The team at Wit Studio is aware of One Piece’s popularity. It is without a doubt the most famous manga series in the world. What has made it so renowned is Oda’s hard work. The author has been working on the manga for decades, and in doing so, he has carried the industry through many tough times.

The first and foremost priority of the One Piece remake will be to pay tribute to Eiichiro Oda, and what better way to do so than by making an adaptation that will increase the popularity of the series?
