Eiichiro Oda’s One Piece franchise is loved by millions worldwide, and the hype for the same looks will not die down any time soon. The love for the series has even led the franchise’s manga to be the best-selling manga ever.
And while the animated adaptation for the series right now is pulling through just fine, it might just about be the time that the One Piece anime gets a reboot, something which will help the series overcome the cons of the adaptation that it has right now.
As stated before, it might just about be time that Eiichiro Oda‘s famous series gets an anime reboot. There are many reasons why this needs to be the case, and 10 of them are as follows.
10. Faster Pacing Of Anime
Many of the fans have often complained about the pacing issues with the One Piece anime, and this is something that has also intimidated new fans from getting into the anime.
A new reboot of the anime this time around would help the audience relate to the anime itself as well as get in touch with what’s happening in the manga at the same time.
9. Fewer Filler Episodes
The One Piece anime series has also often been trolled around the internet for having a large number of filler episodes, something which does nothing but make the series feel longer than needed. A remake would help get rid of these same filler episodes, making the series feel more in sync with the manga.
8. Consistent Animation All-Around
Coming to the timeline of the animated series, it started way back in 1999, and it is easy to observe how the style of the animation has changed over the past years.
Getting a reboot would help the series have a more consistent and updated style of animation with the use of the latest technology over all the episodes that will be released.
7. Higher Quality Music And Soundtracks
Although the animated series right now has a lot of iconic soundtracks as well as music that goes well with what’s shown on the screen, a reboot of the series can help enhance the overall quality and the experience of audio in anime which will complement the story better than the existing tracks.
6. Improved Character Designs
The franchise has had some iconic character designs, some of which even managed to make a fashion statement in the real world, like Doflamingo. However, a remake of the anime gives the studio a golden opportunity to recreate designs of every single character, and while changes to some of them might not be needed, others can be made better than they already are.
5. Better Dub Quality For The One Piece Anime
The dub version of the animated series has had a rough start in the beginning. Since it was made with a way younger audience kept in mind, there were a lot of altercations made to the dialogues as well as the visuals at the time, ruining the experience of the original anime.
While the dubbing studio was changed over time, a remake presents an opportunity for the studio to redeem themselves for the mistakes committed in the past.
4. Better Origins For The Character Of Usopp
Eiichiro Oda has been under fire by the audience before when he mentioned the fact that Usopp’s origins would be from the continent of Africa, a statement which seemed to come off as a little upsetting to some. A reboot would definitely help redefine the origins of this particular character, voiding the controversy that the creators have faced in the past.
3. No Breaks And Halts For The Animated Adaptation
The original anime that is airing right now in the past has gone from major breaks before. This includes the break that occurred during the COVID period in 2020, followed by the time when a break was taken after the TOEI animation got hacked recently, giving way to another break that lasted 5 weeks. A remake would eliminate these halts and breaks, giving way for a more consistent airing.
2. Faithful Adaptation Of Side Stories
Usually after the end of an arc in the manga, Oda often writes up stories following the adventures of a side character. A reboot does shine the light on the opportunity of finally covering those side stories, telling more to the audience about these characters, something which the original anime failed to do.
1. More Accommodating To Newcomers
There is no doubt that the recent One Piece Live-Action adaptation series is going to bring in a lot of people who are curious to get into the source material of what they are watching, something which the current anime does not accommodate.
A new remake would definitely attract all the new audiences that are looking for more of One Piece after they are done with the live-action adaptation, bringing in profits for the studio.
