This is a first, to remake an anime while the original is still airing. Good reason for it though.

I've never seen or tried the original series, so I guess this will be a good entry point?

Probably, yeah. The original series has severe pacing issues and bad animation until the recent arcs. The pacing can be remedied somewhat by watching the One Pace fan edit but this remake should be a much easier watch.

considering "season 1" of the show has like 1100 episodes and looks like it will keep going for years to come, it's probably a good idea to make a condensed version now.

So is this like a Dragon Ball Z Kai for One Piece, kinda?

Cool. I'll definitely check out the first few episodes and see if it sticks.

I'm watching this. I've read a little bit of the manga.

WIT animations are always really good.

 

[kevboard]

getting a remake of a show before the ending of a show, that's also still running... I've never seen that before lol.

Nice, will definitely be watching.
The current anime has such poor pacing and inconsistent animation that I dropped it a long time ago and I've just been following the manga.

So is this like a Dragon Ball Z Kai for One Piece, kinda?

Yeah, but with completely redone animation instead of just cutting and remastering the existing one like Kai.

 

[WoeIsMe]

I'll check it out.

One Piece is a masterpiece, even with the pace slowing down at times and some parts in the arcs draging way too long after a current event in the anime. The lore, characters, world building and how everything connects are absolutely amazing. Combined with cool powers and fights.



The japanese version, for those who can't stand dubbed(like me!)

Crazy to start a remake of something that is still on going.

Each episode should just cover one season of events.
