It's not even about sales, if it was you wouldn't see so much Centuria "glaze" as they say.

There is something about "future sales", like a manga is a racing horse or a stock. So series like Centuria and MAD get a ton of comments like: "This will blow up with an anime" and by blow up they mean 100K+ sales, not just a healthy 15~20K. It's why a lot of talk about manga is about potential instead of whatever is actually happening, almost like the point is being part of the new Big Thing from the start.

That's also why you get the other dumb side where people will call Gachiakuta a flop because for some reason it was supposed to sell like Hero Academia even though it was clearly not going to and its sales are still big for current standards.

I don't disagree that it's a very specific style that is wanted, with a lot of Don'ts. There's a common dismissal of Ruri Dragon and Someone Hertz as hits.

I am wrecking my brain to see if there is anything that can fuck us out of the anniversary cover this time.

OP is on break.

Sakamoto can't do it like last year now.

Kagurabachi is getting it this upcoming issue.

Blue Box got one 6 issues ago with a color page in between, so no.

Witch watch got one 9 issues ago with yet another before in issue 51, so I doubt it.

Hertz hasn't had one in a bit (relatively speaking) but is getting a Giga cover already.

Akane got one 4 issues ago, so we are good on that front.

And the new batch has fully started already.

Ichi got one in issue 14... But it is Ichi so you never know.

Roboco hasn't had one since... Last year actually. Who knows if they'll give it any time soon.

Shinobi... I don't think it will get a cover outside of anniversary yet, it already got the combined issue lcp too, so I THINK we are safe on that front.

Definitely not giving it to Hima-Ten.

Kiyoshi still a few issues away from anniversary, so I think it will just wait those couple extra weeks.

So in short, the only possible dangers should be... Roboco, Ichi, or a POSSIBLE group cover.

One of roku's assistant was in charge of creating 3d models for the house. (Some rooms are still not fully completed)

This is a pretty big role as an assistant, all things considered.

Hmmmm….. Hot take: this is one of the tasks that would be suited to be done through AI.

 

[Nuesmoker]

No. It's still part of the creative process, and the house itself is important for the story.

I don’t know….. I wouldn’t put much stock on it being that significant to the story. So far, there doesn’t seem to be any hints heading that way. I could be totally wrong though.

THE ONE PIECE remake for Netflix in February 2027!!!

Season 1 will adapt the first 50 chapters, following Luffy up to meeting Sanji. 7 episodes, ~300 minutes, all at once.

let's not

Beside, AI is HORRIBLE at perspective

It finally got off the ground lol. And I find it interesting how Netflix seems to be aiming to turn the anime into a mini-series format. If they can manage to produce at least one batch of 7 episodes every year, the success will be massive.

Sooo…..how would you guys calculate this catching up to the current anime?

 

[Pedroland17]

No chance. The anime is adapting around chapter 1100-something. It would take more than 10 years to catch up to that lol. One Piece will probably be over before that, I think.

Haha. I figured as much. Looks like they’re going to keep milking it as much as they’re doing with Dragon Ball. I mean, it was kinda obvious, but I thought Naruto would have more staying power. I wonder if they realized they made mistakes with the latter.

I don't see it going past Alabasta. WIT Studio is already in remake hell with Yaiba, now One Piece? It's a pipedream to see them fully adapting pre time skip OP. (Note: the guy directing Yaiba LOVES the shit out of Yaiba. It was his dream project. I don't see WIT dropping Yaiba in favor of OP. )

And to be honest, the only arc in OP that needs a remake is the huge stretch between Fish Man Island and Wholecake Island.

Everything else is absolutely unnecessary. They need no more than a DB KAI treatment. Early OP from East Blue to Marineford still looks really GOOD

--- Double Post Merged, May 5, 2026, Original Post Date: May 5, 2026 ---

Feels kind of a waste of talent considering eastblue, arlong park, drum island and alabasta has gotten a bunch of remakes already.

--- Double Post Merged, May 5, 2026 ---

Last but not least, batch release is stupid. You're gonna have people discuss zoro vs mihawk and no more than that. Smaller moments are gonna go over lots of people's heads

Just so we’re clear, we’re talking about Aoyama Gosho’s Yaiba right?

Why he assuming it's official without a shred of evidence?

You underestimated shinobi and kiyoshi

Exactly!
We have only "【公式】" in the username that "confirm" (isn't a confirmation) that is an official account but nothing else..

As you said, anyone can create an account called: "回撃のキナト【公式】" and make fun of everyone on Twitter
