Does it need it? I feel like it needs an anime remake even less than a live action. If they do the art unique, like Arcane, maybe it'll be fun just for novelty. However, if it's like the usual Netflix anime where it's obvious 3D models, poor animation and maybe 2-3 action scenes in the season, I'll pass.
I would imagine they also go full activist here, unless Oda has similar oversight like he did with the live action, so he can veto the bullshit changes.
aspiring pirate king Monkey D. Luffy and his diverse crew. Unlike the existing “One Piece” anime series produced by Toei Animation since 1999, this remake seeks to offer a unique viewing experience while reimagining
I see danger language in there. I bolded it.
It's starting in the East Blue as well. Since the live action is already covering that. Why not jump to an arc that you can finish in full? Like do Saobody through to the end of Marineford. It's fast-paced and tight structured; It would be fan favorite timeline, and different.
Its being handled by Wit Studio, so it has a chance of being good if Shitflix doesn't interfere too much.
Though I dunno why Oda would allow this to begin with.
I also cannot imagine this occurring without some legal issues cropping up from Toei (though it would be hilarious if Toei had an expiring contract that allowed them to do this)
unless Oda has similar oversight like he did with the live action
imo the live action already changed way too much about it from the little I've seen of it, I think Oda's oversight amounted to "don't fuck with it too much but otherwise you have free rein".
The live action did change a lot, but thankfully didn't 'break' anything for me. It dropped a lot of side characters, spent a bit more time than we needed on chick shit, and made the East Blue villains less threatening overall. A lot of my praise for it comes from the fact that it didn't seem embarrassed of itself like so many live action debacles do. Like, they saw it was goofy, but just jumped in with enthusiasm, so I had to respect that.
I think the actor/writer strike helped them out a lot as well. Otherwise the marketing leading up to launch would have been pandering non-stop about Koby's actor being trans, or gay/black whoever swaps. Since I watched it without having all of that annoying baggage, I kept a more open mind. Since the show didn't beat me over the head with identity, and one thing Oda did actually block was crew/character romance, so I think that helped quite a bit.
The original one piece cast includes a jew. Look at the lower left: giant nose, thick lips, curly black hair. And he's a coward too. The crew always was diverse.
Which is why the show is so heavily promoted despite being garbage. The fans only like it because they have developed Stockholm syndrome.
Usopp is black not jew. (or maybe he's half jew? ) And i liked One Piece before it was popular. but it was so long and it strayed away from its original exploration roots that mostly focused on the crew's funny adventures to become a DBZ rip off whilst trying to have an overly big cast with too many groups of people given screen time that things are unfocused and a long story that didnt even actually progress as a story (if you get what i mean) , that i lost interest

Buggy was leagues more threatening in LA than in the original, shame Don Krieg got cut though

Definitely jew. He has olive skin, not black. Like a more middle eastern jew and not the shapeshifter ones with light skin we're familiar with.
If he was from the real world, he would be from South Africa according to the author. Personally i think he's half black half jew
