THE ONE PIECE" Production Committee

This project is to redraw the animation of "ONE PIECE" from the East Sea Arc as a modern image.

We would like to present Luffy's adventures in a new and nostalgic way, pursuing expressions that are possible only now, on a different line from the TV animation series, which is still moving forward at maximum output after 25 years.

Although the release of the film is still a long, long project that will take even more time to complete, we will join forces with our new friends WIT STUDIO and Netflix to deliver the film to fans around the world as well as to the generation that will come into contact with "ONE PIECE" in the future, We, the "ALL ONE PIECE" team, will do our best.

WIT STUDIO President and Representative Director Taketsugu Wada
The announcement has finally been made! THE ONE PIECE".
In undertaking this new adventure, after much deliberation and discussion with everyone, we have decided to take a stand. Toei Animation has produced over 1000 episodes of "ONE PIECE". I am very proud to take the weight of the history of "ONE PIECE" in my heart and draw a new trajectory for the series. We aim to excite people around the world by carefully depicting the challenge to dreams, friendship with friends, and hope for the future as depicted by Mr. Eiichiro Oda.
In order to deliver this work to every corner of the wide world, we still need the help of all creators. Would you like to participate in this project and have your name engraved in the film?　WIT STUDIO sincerely looks forward to your participation!
