by

Summary

  • One Piece‘s English dub will finally catch up to the original, ending months of waiting for new episodes.
  • Toei Animation took a break in 2024 to maintain quality, shocking fans used to weekly episodes.
  • Remastered Fish-Man Island arc has better pacing and filters, hinting at more arcs getting the same treatment.

One Piece” ranks as one of the longest-lasting anime series ever produced, initially premiering in 1999. Over the years, it has consistently held its ground and garnered a massive following worldwide. Thanks to its enduring appeal, “One Piece” has been translated into various languages, such as English, to cater to fans across different regions.

As a dedicated fan, I’ve been patiently waiting for 18 long years, always playing catch-up with the original Japanese version of One Piece due to the delay in the English dub. But the tides are turning! For the first time since its debut, the English dub is set to overtake the original, meaning no more agonizing waits for new episodes! This is a groundbreaking moment for fellow English-dub fans like myself, and we’re keeping our fingers crossed that this pace continues.

One Piece Will Have More Remastered Arcs

Since 2024, the standard version of One Piece anime has been on hiatus due to Toei’s choice. The studio felt it necessary to uphold quality, requiring additional time, which led to Toei Animation pausing production. This decision left many fans surprised, given that One Piece has been broadcast weekly for several decades.

I’ve never found myself in this situation before – having no new episodes to indulge in. Yet, making this choice feels right, as it directly supports the talented individuals behind the scenes who work tirelessly to bring these stories to life.

Toei Animation catered to fans by disclosing the refined edition of the Fish-Man Island saga. The initial version seemed overly prolonged, with several episodes becoming tedious due to their extended duration, which made viewing them an arduous task.

The revamped Fish-Man Island storyline boasts improved tempo, fresh visual effects, and additional material. These enhancements have made it attractive to both longtime viewers and newcomers alike. Due to its popularity, there’s a high likelihood that other One Piece storylines may undergo the same upgrade process.

One Piece Fans Should Brace For A Big Year

2025 promises an exciting time for One Piece enthusiasts! In April 2025, the One Piece anime series will resume, allowing fans to continue the Egghead Island storyline. With many more chapters yet to be adapted, the rest of this arc is set to deliver high-intensity action.

The filming for the live-action adaptation of One Piece has been completed, and it’s slated for release in 2025. In the meantime, fans can look forward to updates about the second season in the approaching months. Additionally, there’s exciting news that One Piece Live Action has partnered with Lego, so we might soon see a variety of Lego sets based on the series.

One Piece is available to stream on Crunchyroll.
