What is the future of One Piece?
One Piece is by far the most popular anime series in the world. The comic sold over 500 million copies, making it the best-selling comic book series in history. Despite being serialized for over 20 years, One Piece maintains its consistent quality and is highly regarded by both critics and audiences. Eiichiro Oda spends a lot of time working on comics to make sure there is no loss in quality.
One Piece's reputation is on the rise and unlikely to decline anytime soon. The series releases new projects every year to further increase its popularity. We took a huge leap forward by announcing the live-action version of One Piece. People unfamiliar with manga and animation would not have experienced One Piece without the live-action adaptation. It also avoided being included in the long list of failed live-action anime adaptations.

There may also be announcements related to Wit Studio's One Piece anime remake. Since its initial reveal, the studio has provided few updates, but that may soon change.
