One Piece anime has been on hiatus since last year and has been airing an edited version of the "Fishman Island." The adaptation of Eiichiro Oda's manga has 1122 episodes of the TV anime to date, multiple movies, specials, OVAs, and a live-action adaptation, streaming on Netflix.
Last year, WIT Studio and Netflix announced a remake of the TV anime, titled The One Piece, but with no release date yet. The live-action adaptation is also getting a second season this year.
The franchise recently collaborated with LA Lakers and is the first-ever overseas celebration of ONE PIECE DAY this weekend in Dallas.
