One Piece Returns to Netflix With A New Special and a New Look

This brick-by-brick retelling of early One Piece is out in September One Piece fans have plenty to look forward to. On top of the ongoing manga and Toei Animation’s long-running anime, Netflix has several upcoming One Piece projects, including a third season of its live-action show, WIT Studio’s anime remake, and a third, more unexpected adaptation: Lego One Piece. Netflix just released a new trailer for this brickified take on the series. It’s a two-part special that retells the events of the live-action One Piece show with the same voice cast. The trailer shows the Straw Hat Pirates’ early adventures as they set sail for the Grand Line while battling Buggy the Clown. It’s clear that the special will speed through these adventures because, at one point, we see a VCR fast-forward effect as the narrative leaps to Chopper's Drum Island arc. This adaptation seems framed around Usopp retelling these adventures (with some embellishments), and it feels like a solid way to recap events before the third season of the live-action series releases next year. Lego One Piece is out on Sept. 29. Netflix also revealed a new teaser image for The One Piece, an anime remake that will tell the story
