Netflix has scheduled a sneak peek of the upcoming "The One Piece" remake anime for June 23, 2026, at the Annecy International Animation Film Festival. The event will also include the first episode premiere of Kyoto Animation's "Sparks of Tomorrow," the world premiere of Twin Engine's "The Ribbon Hero" (produced by studio OUTLINE, adapting Osamu Tezuka's "Princess Knight"), and in-depth looks at "Blue Eye Samurai" Season 2 and "Bass X Machina." The remake, produced by WIT Studio, is a new adaptation starting from the East Blue saga of Eiichiro Oda's original manga. It is separate from the long-running TV anime series and aims to use modern technology for a fresh take on the story. "The One Piece" is set to premiere in February 2027, with all seven episodes releasing at once. The announcement was made via Netflix's official lineup for the festival, as reported by Anime Corner.
The Annecy International Animation Film Festival, held annually in France, will host the first look at "The One Piece" on June 23, 2026. Netflix's festival lineup also includes the debut of Kyoto Animation's "Sparks of Tomorrow" and Twin Engine's "The Ribbon Hero," the latter re-adapting Osamu Tezuka's 1950s manga "Princess Knight" with animation by studio OUTLINE. Additional programming features behind-the-scenes presentations for "Blue Eye Samurai" Season 2 and the new series "Bass X Machina." The remake, produced by WIT Studio (known for "Attack on Titan" seasons 1-3 and "Vinland Saga"), will retell the East Blue saga from the beginning, using modern animation techniques while remaining faithful to the source material. The original One Piece anime, produced by Toei Animation, has aired continuously since 1999. The new series will launch with seven episodes simultaneously in February 2027, a departure from the weekly broadcast model of the original. Concept art and staff details were previously released, though no specific runtime for the sneak peek has been confirmed.
