ONE PIECE has revealed the preview for Episode 1 of the special edited version of the Fish-Man Island Saga, showing the reunion of the Straw Hats again with a new look. The new and improved version of the saga was announced to take place of the regular episodes, as the ONE PIECE anime is currently on a half-year hiatus to improve its quality.
Originally scheduled for October 27, the first episode was delayed to November 3 due to the live broadcast of the MLB World Series. The episode is titled “The New Beginning! The Straw Hats Reunite!” and you can watch the preview video below.
The new version of the FISH-MAN Island Saga will feature an improved quality condensed into 21 episodes. It is meant to take the place of the regular episodes until their return on April 2025. Toei Animation is handling the remastering.
Prior to this, the anime released ONE PIECE FAN LETTER, a special episode adapting the spin-off novel One Piece novel Straw Hat Stories by Tomohito Ohsaki. The episode was directed by Megumi Ishitani.
ONE PIECE anime is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year with several projects and collaborations. Some of them were the Las Vegas take over, a T-Shirt collaboration with UNIQLO, a gaming chair collection with TTRacing, a special recap video, among many others.
There is also the upcoming remake by WIT Studio, as well as the 2nd season of the live-action series, which recently revealed the first look at Chopper and Drum Island.
