According to a leaker, WIT Studio will share news about the remake during One Piece Day 2024. This event will take place on August 10 and 11. While we don’t know exactly what they’ll announce, the leaker shared some possibilities. We might get a teaser or trailer with the release date. There could also be character designs and voice actor announcements. We might even learn more about the project’s details, like the number of episodes and the team involved.
Fans are buzzing with excitement and speculation. Some think the remake will have new Japanese voice actors. One fan said, “I can’t wait to watch this, but I have a feeling fans are going to feel some way with different voice actors. It’ll probably be surreal. I hope they nail it.”
Another fan pointed out that the remake will run alongside Toei’s adaptation. “Everybody complaining about new VAs is forgetting that this remake will be running at the same time as Toei’s adaptation. Of course, that means the production can’t be very similar to the original (voice castings included). Otherwise, there isn’t a point in watching the remake,” they said.
