The original One Piece series is notorious for being extremely long.
That’s why a lot of new fans are scared to start the series.
There’s hope that the remake will be around 300-400 episodes.
Jump Festa 2024 was a happy event for One Piece fans as this was when the remake of the series was announced. Studio Wit is working on the project and this is as much as we know about it for now.
Okay, maybe happy is not the best word to describe fans’ feelings since this news also caused a lot of frustration. Why would they make a remake of the show that’s still ongoing? How would that even work? There are so many questions and uncertainties surrounding this project that we don’t even know where to begin.
So to avoid talking about the unknown, let’s focus on some of the predictions for the remake. And, especially, its length.
One Piece is REALLY long
This is not news, though. We all know that One Piece has so many episodes that it’ll take you about a month to physically finish it. That is if you still want to get some sleep and food. If you also work or have classes, you’re going to be stuck with it for months.
Episode 1091 was released on January 21, 2024, and the series has no intention of ending yet. And this is naturally scary for new fans that are thinking about getting into One Piece.
A series this long cannot avoid the pacing-issue allegations, and One Piece is no exception. This is what frightens new viewers even more; not only would they have to watch 1091 episodes, but they would also have to sit through poorly paced moments as well, if they ever started the anime.
Will the remake be shorter?
That’s why the remake sounds like a wonderful idea for such people. First of all, they won’t have to watch the entire thing at once, and will be capable of limiting it to one episode per week. And most importantly, there’s a high chance it will be much shorter.
Fans think that the best way for the remake will be to adapt 3-4 chapters per episode. We have 1104 manga chapters now, so if this is the case, all of them will be animated in 300-something episodes. It’s still a lot, but better than 1000+, right?
And fans do hope that the remake will fix all the pacing issues of One Piece. They don’t want it to be super rushed, of course, but to see something shorter and more dynamic sounds like a dream come true.
Let’s hope that it’s at least shorter than 500 episodes…
