@NoahPasternak i've often prayed for a complete Life In Hell collection, but does even Groening himself have all strips archived?
feels like it should have been out ages ago if so
@spikermonster a lot of peak couch gags are attached to mid ass episodes these days, so it's also cool that this was attached to one of the best modern episodes
@bweezybird even if it's not a full remake, i find it odd that Jaya would be the cutoff point, since that's ironically RIGHT before the pacing starts to slowly but surely get more ass
three years for 7 episodes and now it might not even be a full, digetsable remake/introduction for people with jobs?
good god, is my hype declining at an immesurable speed, ''trust me bro'' better be the fuckin name of that internal source
👀🚨From Internal sources:
🟠Wit Studio never intended to remake the entirety of One Piece. The project’s scope has reportedly always been limited rather than a full-series reboot.
🟠Sources indicate that the remake is primarily focused on revisiting the early era of the original anime — specifically the classic 4:3 aspect ratio period — with a modern production approach.
🟠Additionally, it has been suggested that Wit Studio plans to reuse the current voice cast, which would make a full remake of the entire series impractical due to long-term production constraints.
🟠Notably, Mayumi Tanaka (Luffy’s voice actress) reportedly requested that the studio find a replacement for her role. This request came after she initially believed the project would cover the entire story. However, she was later informed that the plan is to adapt the story only up to the classic 4:3 ( This could mean until the end of Jaya Arc ).
🟠Overall, the remake appears to be a targeted reimagining of the early arcs, rather than a complete retelling of the full One Piece saga.
@MichaelRCusack@psychicpebble definitely still had some juice left, so hopefully we'll get the fabled season 4 & 5 in like 2034 or some shit
if this is truly the end forever though, thanks for the smiles :) and gifting us arguably the greatest cartoon since Adventure Time
@kaushik8329@netflix you just described the problem bro
i would love to rewatch the anime version & recommend it to people, but the dogshit pacing in the ongoing version killed that from happening
