    The irony of Netflix trying to do a remake for a notoriously long running show…

    Really hope they’re committed to this and don’t lose interest after two seasons.

    Although I guess this might be one of those situations where it’s primarily a Japanese company that’s commissioning the show, and Netflix just chucks some money their way for the US/European rights?

      IIRC, Netflix is the one pushing the show, came with their plan of making a live action OP.

      So yeah, I don’t have my hopes up regarding longevity

        Yeah, this show’s got no chance.

        Hopefully the two seasons will be great and then people can pickup the original where Netflix leaves off.

          Honestly, I feel like you could easily halve the episode count or more of current one piece and lose nothing. I just hope this is a Dragon Ball Kai scenario with new animation.
