Smart Flash JP reveals some BTS (Behind the scenes) from the One Piece Remake announcement about the plans for the Live Action Adaptation of “Naruto” and “Slam Dunk” if the One Piece remake is a success.
Behind The Scenes About One Piece Remake and Naruto And Slam Dunk Live Action Discussions
Toei Animation announced the production of the brand new “The One Piece” anime which is the remake of the anime One Piece (Fuji TV)
The anime “One Piece” is currently broadcast on the Fuji TV network Every Sunday, 9:30 AM Japan time anime slot, but the remake series will be broadcast on one of the largest online distribution streaming services “Netflix“. They are also Producing this remake, the Voice Actors and Release Date is yet to be announced. The One Piece manga has been serialized in “Weekly Shonen Jump” for over 25 years and the anime has over 1000 episodes.
The Manga editor commented about it:
“This announcement has attracted a lot of attention as it is an unusual situation where a work whose original manga is being serialized and whose anime is currently being broadcast is being remade.” (Says Manga Editor)
The production company involved in the project is WIT STUDIO, which has worked on anime adaptations of recent hits such as “SPY x FAMILY” and the first three seasons of “Shingeki no Kyojin” (Attack On Titan).
This remake production has caused surprises from fans as well. An official at the anime production company says that behind Netflix’s decision after the success of the live-action drama version of “ONE PIECE,” which is being distributed by the company and Mackenyu Arata (Also known as Mackenyu Maeda) has been selected as the main cast member Zoro.
The official at anime production also said:
“The live-action version of “ONE PIECE” was distributed this year and was a huge success, attracting not only existing fans but also new fans who had not been exposed to “ONE PIECE” before.
In recent years, “Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba” has become the “face” of Shonen Jump, but with the success of the live-action version has once again proven that Netflix is betting on the high potential of “ONE PIECE,” which has reigned as Jump’s signature work for over 20 years.
If the remake of “ONE PIECE” gets off to a good start, it seems that they will immediately start working on the next remake.
Currently, the live-action version of “Yuu☆Yuu☆Hakusho” (Yu Yu Hakusho: Ghost Files) is also a hot topic in Japan, and it was also a long-running series like “ONE PIECE” and is also popular overseas. I’ve heard that the talks are already progressing in the upper management about a live-action version of “Naruto and “SLAM DUNK” which was a long-time hit when its new movie version (The First Slam Dunk) was released in 2022.” (Says Official)
Depending on the outcome of the “Great Voyage” of the anime “ONE PIECE” remake series, fans are likely to have more fun in the future.
After this BTS coverage, the rumors for SLAM DUNK Live-Action became very strong. Naruto’s Live-action action is already been in production for years and is likely to be announced any time. And We at Otaku Mantra, personally think that the Slam Dunk will be really great if the execution is as great as One Piece’s Live-action. What do you guys think about this coverage?
