First Episode Visual from One Piece Remake Shared
The One Piece universe is preparing to return to screens with a fresh breath. The art visual for the first episode of the anime remake titled The One Piece, produced by Wit Studio for Netflix, was shared on official social media accounts during Netflix's anime event.
According to Anime News Network, the visual was announced on June 23, 2026, as part of Netflix's anime event. Although no official announcement has been made yet, the shared frame hints at Luffy and his crew's first adventures. The original series' journey that began in 1997 will now be brought back to life with Wit Studio's modern animation techniques.
Wit Studio is a studio that has previously produced high-quality works such as Attack on Titan and Vinland Saga. Therefore, One Piece fans hope that the remake will raise the visual bar while preserving the original spirit. The project was first announced at Jump Festa in December 2023, and it was stated that the series creator Eiichiro Oda is also involved as a consultant in the production.
Netflix and Wit Studio have not yet given clear information about the release date. However, the sharing of the first episode visual indicates that production is progressing rapidly. While the original anime has over 1000 episodes, this remake is expected to present the story of East Blue and beyond in a more compact and modern narrative.
In conclusion, The One Piece is not just a nostalgia trip, but also a project that will open the doors of this vast world to a new generation of viewers. A trailer and more details are likely to come in the coming months. Fans will be keeping an eye on Netflix and Wit Studio's next moves.
