With only a few weeks left in 2023, One Piece fans were hit with some news that most – we think it would be safe to say – didn't see coming. Netflix announced that it was teaming with the renowned WIT Studio (Spy x Family, Attack on Titan Season 1-3) on a new anime adaptation of storyteller Eiichiro Oda's beloved classic manga. The news broke during the second day of Jump Festa 2024, with The One Piece beginning its on-screen adventures with the iconic East Blue Saga. In collaboration with The One Piece production committee (consisting of representatives from Shueisha, Fuji Television Network, and Toei Animation Co.), the currently-in-production series will stream worldwide exclusively on Netflix. So what better time than "One Piece Day" for fans to get a pretty extensive "production notes" featurette from the folks over at WIT Studios working hard on the new anime adaptation? That's what we have waiting for you above – along with an image gallery of some of the choice screencaps from the video look behind the scenes.

With The One Piece, the committee aims to provide viewers with a fresh yet familiar experience, utilizing cutting-edge visual technology to reimagine Luffy's adventures through the beloved East Blue saga. Now, here's a look back at the official announcement video that was released offering more details:
