THE ONE PIECE anime remake by WIT Studio has unveiled its initial key visual before the February 2027 launch. The series was earlier confirmed to feature Mayumi Tanaka reprising the role of Luffy, showcased through a teaser trailer.
The series is a joint effort with Netflix, slated to drop all 7 episodes simultaneously in February of the following year. Earlier, the core production team was disclosed, featuring Masashi Koizuka as director. The debut season will adapt roughly 50 chapters of the source material, concluding with Luffy’s encounter with Sanji at the Baratie seaside eatery.
The new remake project is described as:
Created by WIT Studio, THE ONE PIECE presents a fresh anime rendition that begins with the original manga’s East Blue arc. Unlike the long‑running televised series that has been advancing for over 25 years, this version leverages contemporary visual technology to deliver a recognizable yet innovative perspective on Luffy’s journey. The exclusive clips of character design sheets and concept boards shown in the video offer a sneak peek into the production of this series.
The fresh key visual draws inspiration from the manga’s inaugural color illustration, and you can view both of them underneath.

In a prior interview with Real Sound, the president of WIT Studio and Production I.G. noted that over a thousand episodes constitute a substantial backlog, and that contemporary viewers might struggle with the 25‑year‑old series because of its 4:3 analog presentation. They envision the new adaptation complementing the manga, the classic anime, and the live‑action installments of ONE PIECE to broaden its audience. Toei Animation has urged them to invest full effort as they proceed with upcoming episodes.
Netflix characterizes the undertaking as a fresh recreation of the ONE PIECE manga, commencing with the East Blue arc. Eiichiro Oda’s ONE PIECE debuted in July 1997, and the series crossed the 500‑million‑copy milestone in August 2022. VIZ Media holds the English licensing rights, and Crunchyroll streams the show.
ONE PIECE additionally includes Season 3 of the live‑action THE BATTLE OF ALABASTA, slated for 2027, and a forthcoming LEGO special animation set to debut on September 29 on Netflix.
