It seems that Netflix and WIT studio plan to reboot another One Piece anime. Don't know if it is from scratch or a Kai situation but they plan to start from the beginning in order to cash in on the 25th anniversary.

I'd be fine with it if they just axed the shitty Toei anime. It's clearly a cashgrab for the Live Action viewers though.
 
In similar news, Spice and Wolf is getting a reboot. The is a bit of odd news.
There have been a handful of reboots that have proven profitable, i.e., Fruits Basket, Shaman King, Sailor Moon Crystal, Bastard!!. Part of me doesn't mind it but on the other hand, Japan does not have a shortage of new IPs to work with.

This One Piece wreaks of Netflix wanting to own their own version to avoid licensing contracts expiring. They are keeping Luffy's JP voice actress.

Genuinely I think it could work. The original anime is from freakin 1999. Think about how old that is now, they could give the one piece anime the same treatment they did to Hunter X Hunter which had a series in 1999 but a infinitely better series in 2011 that went on to be considered one of the greatest anime’s ever made. Honestly if this is well made it could possibly be in that level if enough effort is put.
 
I finished Blue Giant and Ongaku and both were very fun music anime 8/10. Despite that I'm still a little dissapointed that Blue Giant isn't a tv series. The cgi sucks and that's funny considering that anime like Sakamichi no Apollon which was made in 2012 look far way better then the characters are playing on instruments and that was a tv series. At least the music is 10/10. I like the characters, but I can't wipe away the thought that there was more to their story in the manga that we won't see in the movie due to the format.

Ongaku looks like something taken out of the One comics, but without the Mob Psycho momentum. The budget from what I know was only 40k dollars, but you can clearly see passion in this movie. There are especially 2 sequences that are pretty creative and make this movie look like something from Yuzuru Tachikawa and I'm bringing it up, because he directed Blue Giant and yet Ongaku feels more like Mob. By the way, this movie has one of the funniest endings that I've seen in a long time.

When it comes to Jump Festa, I'm waiting the most for Gintama spin-off, Chainsaw Man movie and One Piece remake. I watched 100 something episodes of One Piece in primary school and dropped it. Then I picked up the manga in 2022 and now I have no idea how someone can go through 1000 episodes with Toei shitty pacing.

I guess that after enough decades its better to just remake it than expect buzz by people who'll rewatch the original. Hopefully the art will be good and it will conclude where the LNs ended.

Bleach, JJK, and Hiatus X Hiatus never shut the fuck up about how their fantasy nonsense is supposed to work while at the same time not making sense and pretending that it does.

Is Bleach really that bad? I don't remember nonstop explanation of their battle system and most Bankai are pretty simple, I actually think it's kinda bullshit that it's as simple as someone can have an insane hax ability but it doesn't really matter as long as the other person's reiatsu is higher and I'm honestly fine with Jujutsu Kaisen's system because it usually results in interesting scenarios most of the time, I think the worst it's been is Hakari's entire slot machine domain. I legit don't like HxH because it's so incredibly up it's own ass, it's the Jordan Peterson of manga and I wish Togashi never stopped making Yu Yu Hakusho.

It's probably also to sucker in new viewers, nobody is gonna start something with over a thousand episodes or chapters so a reboot with better animation to watch as it comes out will probably work. Like, I'm honestly pretty excited to see how WIT will do with it. The last time I saw those early arcs was probably 15+ years ago so I'd like a refresher.

I don't trust a single thing Netflix touches in any case. And something being old doesn't necessarily make it worse, look at Dragon Ball, if they had rebooted Z with that shitty plastic DBS art style it'd be a waste of time and resources and likely a black eye on the franchise.

I don't watch One Piece so I have no idea how good or bad the anime adaptation was, but look how long the damn series is. They're going to do that a second time? Are you serious? This is just draining talent imo.

Unironically, the Bleach abridged joke about "His spiritual pressure is so great its spiritual pressure is pressuring my spiritual pressure," makes more sense than whatever the fuck it's supposed to be in canon.

Bleach had zero power scaling after a while. It just became a bunch of random powers colliding and whoever came out on top felt random.

I remember when Yoruichi (I'm not checking the spelling, she's the catgirl) suddenly had a crazy new form, and it wasn't enough to win so instead of writing a good reason for how she'd overcome her opponent or just letting her lose, it was revealed she had the extremely situationally specific power necessary to conveniently win, which was something like fluctuating her spiritual pressure's frequency or whatever. And I don't think it was even on purpose like an ingenious manipulation of her power, but just a coincidentally useful side-effect of her new berserk cat form.

The entire manga is just a damn blur to me tbh, it got really bad after the Rukia rescue. It was still cool after that but I was pretty much checked out at the exact moment this fight happened.

god of thunder cat fat "black" nippon ass, i remember
kubo is such a blatant fucking hack
 
Eh I'm split on the one piece remake since on one hand one of the very first OP things I watched outside of the 4kids dub and made me release it was an anime (since god damn there are still times where it doesn't look like a traditional one), was a movie remake of the alabasta arc.
Looking back that movie skipped a hell of a lot but I didn't notice because it wasn't censored to hell and back and 4kids skipped a lot of minor arcs in the show as well (iirc stuff like little garden and Laboon).
On the other, I don't see the point to "reboot" the anime while the original isn't gonna end and presumably run alongside it, plus this isn't the first time they've remade early one piece, iirc there are two "episode of" 1-2 hour specials where they reanimated and recapped everything before loguetown and another where they just reanimated the arlong park arc by itself.

I'm actually more curious about the Monsters adaptation which tldr it's a one-shot oda made before OP which will be interesting cause it'll be his first thing he's ever made outside of OP that will get attention (yeah I know it's technically the same universe but thriller bark was 15 years ago and only the most die hard OP fans where able to make the connection when it happened)

Ngl, I like the new anime better than the Soul Society arc, the primary reason being that Ichigo is barely in it so the characters people actually enjoy seeing can shine.

As I said before, JJK and Bleach share problems. Yuji and Ichigo are both plot devices to an absurd degree. I wouldn't blame anyone if they thought Gojo was the protagonist of JJK, even though he is also another giant plot device (He is more active where Yuji is very much passive, not unlike Ichigo). You can just replace Gojo with other characters or write him out entirely and keep most events the exact fucking same. Sukuna is ironically more of a character than Yuji, who has accomplished absolutely nothing throughout the entire story. I am not being facetious. That motherfucker has not done a single fucking thing. It is legitimately surprising.

Ichigo's one saving grace is that he does stuff, but also a major flaw is that he just does stuff. You're told its for friends and shit. Then it's because he doesn't want to lose. And also, Soul Reapers suck. Then he allies with the Soul Reapers to save his friends. Also, he doesn't want to lose or have an unfair fight with someone who will kill his friends. And then Aizen is so powerful he gets depressed. Then he curb stomps him through the power of plot without feeling guilty or anything despite it being an unfair fight.
like, the goto thing people say about Ichigo is that he's the protagonist and more of a traditional hero but that's it
he may as well not exist either
