WIT Studio’s highly anticipated remake of The One Piece is officially in active animation production. In late March 2026, CEO George Wada confirmed that the series, backed by a substantial Netflix budget, is in full swing. The project was initiated at Eiichiro Oda’s request to modernize the East Blue Saga for a new generation, ditching the original 1999 anime's 4:3 aspect ratio and slower pacing. Wada also explicitly shut down rumors regarding the use of artificial intelligence, labeling AI a threat to the industry and emphasizing the studio's commitment to protecting human animators and artists.
While an official release window remains unannounced, the production is progressing steadily under director Masashi Koizuka. WIT Studio is targeting a global audience, aiming to deliver cinematic quality that competes directly with Western entertainment giants like Disney.
