Online Presence

Fans of the series took to the announcement with glee, excited for new fans to get into the series as well as fixing complaints about the current one. One reason is that the current One Piece series began 25 years ago, which can make earlier episodes off-putting for many newer anime viewers. On December 17th, 2023, the TikToker anirealist0^[2] uploaded his thoughts on the matter, bringing up the pacing issue that many fans have with the current anime run (shown below).

The topic of a remake of the East Blue saga made fans look back for filler episodes in which flashbacks to the older episodes were done. On January 26th, 2023, the TikToker mangapage21^[3] uploaded a side-by-side comparison showing the older animation of the first episodes with how the current anime handled those scenes in flashbacks, making fans excited for what better animation for the entire saga would look like (shown below).
