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.
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.

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