Why Netflix is Giving One Piece a Makeover – The Controversial Truth

newsfinale.com 2 days ago


The “One Piece” remake is being created with the goal of appealing to the widest audience possible, which is understandable from a commercial perspective. However, some fans, including X (formerly known as Twitter) user @Matamer_, are struggling to accept that the original series’ format is off-putting to people. “Have we gone off the path too far where there might be living humans who are disgusted by old 4:3 formatting in shows,” they wrote. Elsewhere, some of the series’ old-school fans are worried that Netflix’s desire to appeal to a wider demographic will ruin what made “One Piece” great in the first place. “When I hear wider audience I get a bit worried,” @s0ulstone1012 added.

That said, some fans believe that a “One Piece” remake is a good idea — and not just for the upgraded technology. As one person noted, the original series boasts hundreds of episodes, so playing catch-up is probably a daunting prospect for new viewers. At least the remake will allow newcomers to watch the show from the beginning, and hopefully, it will retain the core qualities that make the original series so endearing to anime fans.
