After One Piece, Another Big Anime Looks Set To Get A Remake

by

The announcement that One Piece is getting a remake came as a surprise, especially since the original anime is still being made. While some fans might not love the idea, it’s a logical move for the series’ future. And now, another classic anime, Katekyō Hitman Reborn!, is also planned for a remake!

The anime first aired between 2006 and 2010. Given how long ago that was, a remake seems likely, and rumors started when the website khreborn-anime.jp was registered. Typically, a domain registration hints at an upcoming announcement, but it remains to be seen if that will happen with Katekyō Hitman Reborn.

Katekyō Hitman Reborn Remake Is Coming Soon

  • A domain has been registered for the Katekyō Hitman Reborn anime
  • So far no official statement has been revealed

A website address was registered recently, suggesting that a remake of Katekyō Hitman Reborn might be happening. While there’s been no official confirmation yet, this doesn’t necessarily mean the rumor is false. A similar situation occurred with the Sekiro anime – a domain was registered, but no announcements were made right away. Fans waited, and eventually, the anime was officially announced and scheduled for release in 2026. It’s likely Katekyō Hitman Reborn will follow this same pattern, so fans should be patient and wait for an official announcement.

With no news about who’s taking on the project, it’s unclear which studio will remake the anime, especially since Artland, the original studio, closed in 2015. Luckily, many other capable anime studios could do a fantastic job. Fans are mostly hoping the new studio can capture the spirit and quality of the original series.

What Makes Katekyō Hitman Reborn So Special

Katekyō Hitman Reborn became popular with anime fans thanks to its original idea, compelling story, and memorable characters. Many viewers especially enjoyed how the show balanced exciting action with funny moments. The animation was consistently good, and the story moved at a satisfying pace.

Fans who are not familiar with Katekyō Hitman Reborn can read the synopsis below to get a better understanding of the story. Katekyō Hitman Reborn follows the life of a high schooler named Tsunayoshi Sawada, who is considered to be a massive failure. Clearly down on luck, his life changes for the better when he encounters Reborn, an enigmatic individual who is later revealed to be a powerful hitman with ties to the infamous Vongola family.

The One Piece Remake Is In Production

When it comes to remakes, the upcoming One Piece adaptation by Wit Studio is a hot topic. Announced in 2023, news about the project has been scarce. While the studio has shown some character designs, fans are still waiting for a new trailer or teaser. The remake announcement wasn’t popular with everyone, with some feeling it showed a lack of respect for the original series, which is still running. However, these concerns represent a small portion of the fanbase.

George Wads explains they’re creating a new version of the “One Piece” anime to attract more viewers. Some people haven’t started watching because the original series has an older, less common screen shape and a lot of episodes. This remake aims to fix those problems.

Many One Piece fans are excited for the remake because the original anime suffers from slow pacing, particularly in the episodes before the timeskip. A lot of arcs feel unnecessarily long due to excessive filler content. While dedicated fans have persevered, it’s a daunting task for new viewers to watch over 1100 episodes when the story could be told in around 500-600 episodes, or even fewer.

Wit Studio’s Remake Will Help To Increase One Piece’s Popularity

Wit Studio aims to create a new adaptation with a faster pace, helping viewers follow the story more easily. They also plan to update the music, which has been a long-standing issue with the One Piece anime due to outdated sound effects that lack impact. Finally, the remake will feature improved animation quality.

I’m really excited about the possibility of a better One Piece anime, and it seems like a lot of other fans are too. It looks like we might not have to wait much longer for some news about a remake – One Piece is hinting at a big reveal at Jump Festa 2026!

One Piece is available to watch on Crunchyroll.
