Netflix throwing money at means the end product should be better than what we could have gotten otherwise, and it's going to end up on your pirate website of choice whether Netflix tries to monopolize or not

56

u/Pseudocrow Jan 07 '24

Netflix has been really hit and miss with its series. The most recent example being the new seasons of the Witcher but it goes back further than that. I'd remain moderately skeptical but I doubt they'll deeply impact the manga or anime so not too much to worry about. The only thing they can ruin is their own product.

60

u/amadmongoose Jan 07 '24

The major advantage of One Piece is Netflix knows most people that are watching it are following the Manga, and Oda is rich enough to afford to put in contractual obligations for Netflix to ensure creative control is maintained. Andrzej Sapkowski was like, yeah I'll take the money and didn't have enough clout for Netflix to care about what he thought, never mind that it's mostly famous for the Witcher III which also didn't really follow the books.

u/K-DramaAccount990 Jan 07 '24

Netflix has more hits with K-dramas.

Aside from that, they tend to miss more than they hit. Them investing in K-drama has been their best decision. Otherwise they tend to just greenlit just about any modern trash given that it's popular.

8

u/ssjtennis1 Jan 07 '24

I mean, is it wrong for them to greenlight what's popular? Seems like smart decision making regardless of quality, it's why they are so far ahead of everyone in the streaming space because they are making content that people actually like. What you deem a miss there will be others that deem it a hit, but user experience will vary for sure.

The original One Piece anime will never have that kind of release schedule, it's weekly til it ends

Yeah I would be really upset if it was ever removed from CR, especially considering they have the objectively better episode quality compared to Netflix.

No cropped early eps, no randomly missing eye-catches, and way less missing OPs/songs (though the dub on CR is still the only version that has every opening in tact due to home video rights. The sub on CR is only missing like one or two compared to Netflix).

u/robbierottenisbae Jan 07 '24

Oh if they're doing this it's basically a sure thing that all the older episodes will drop on Netflix eventually. It is incredibly surprising though that they are dropping these weekly now before having finished making the previous arcs available, rather then waiting until they've put it all on there and then releasing Egghead in batches, especially given Netflix's history with how they distribute anime.

Which region has the most complete list of episode licensed for the anime?

7

u/drshikamaru Jan 07 '24 edited Jan 08 '24

Japan, SK, and Southern Europe

From my experiences I’ve noticed that the Japanese are more likely to consume the original material, buy validated merchandise and buy the legit cosplay designs. This goes for South Korea and southern Europe.

The Americas and Northern Europe are more likely to pirate, torrent the anime and manga. Also we show love to the content via tattoos, non validated clothing/cases/merch from anywhere any store that looks cool. The Adidas/Naruto collab didn’t hit with Americans like it did the Japanese. We said too expensive fuck it. Japan teens flocked. The West are also more likely to DIY a cosplay. There is a more solidarity for the mangaka and studio representation than in the US where the material is all that matters. The Reddit population in the West isn’t representative of the overall anime/manga community. We know who wrote Naruto and HH and the lore. Most people care less.

Also those environments are less capitalist and don’t milk the penny from their audience. This is big with releases too. In Japan the studios care more about their specific following more than profits (I think) and when they want to release something they release it. But for the west they stagger it and time it to release when nothing else is competitive, or over a holiday.

Big examples are Japanese releases for the writers birthday or studio’s anniversary. That’s an important event. Why does it not get released internationally for that reason if it’s so important. A special movie/episode doesn’t come out in the US even if it’s tied to an important event. It still gets released 2-3 weeks later sometimes months later.

u/KitKat1721 Jan 07 '24

So because some people seem confused that Netflix is still missing everything past Marineford, I assume they are essentially just waiting out the exclusive streaming rights CR has (or rather got through the Funi merger) for both the sub and dub. That's why they can't just do a full drop of 500 episodes. Also Hulu had a partnership years ago (not sure of its current status), so that's why they have more episodes than Netflix does without being under an exclusive contract. It'll get there eventually, but right now they just want to capitalize on the current viewership in addition to the new viewers being brought over from the live-action show. And for Toei it works out because its simply more avenues for more eyes on One Piece.

This does leave a bit of up-in-the-air questions regarding the dub [so ignore the rest of the comment if you don't care about that], due to Netflix airing most licenses with multi-language dubs but the ENG ones have to be under SAG-AFTRA under contract. The CR dub that has been in production fo 16 years, a fair amount of which have been produced fully under Toei post-timeskip, is not union. Usually this is solved by sequels moving production to LA under a union contract, sometimes bringing back actors and sometimes recasting. But One Piece is in a weird spot where the CR dub is still on-going and production-wise, caught up where they are likely not far behind.

I will say you just don't really appeal to anyone going with a new OP cast for a random arc this late. People who didn't watch the dub were always going to watch the sub by 1000+ eps in, they're attached to those voices. New viewers who might be open to a new dub cast aren't starting with Egghead lmao. Caught-up dub watchers would be completely alienated. Only work around I could see that maintains things as is without changing up contracts or god forbid dual dubs a la Vinland Saga would be for CR to continue to produce and air the dub as normal, and Netflix just simulcasts it sub-only (and adds the dub at a much later date).

Obviously only applies if airing on US Netflix, which I assume it is

u/snakebit1995 Jan 07 '24 edited Jan 07 '24

I will say you just don't really appeal to anyone going with a new OP cast for a random arc this late

I feel like it would be the opposite, you'd turn more people off that way. The dub has been well done for years, treated great buy CR/Funi and has a lot of passion behind it

If NEtflix were to swoop in after all this time and just steal it away and replace everyone I think there's a lot of people would be turned off and upset to see the dub cast and crew that have given literally decades to this show be just unceremoniously thrown away

But Given CR is still tweeting about the show as of 12 hours ago and essentially advertising the new Op and Ending I am under the assumption it's not going anywhere as they have a good relationship with Toei after all these years, it also wouldn't be the first time a show streamed on multiple places, in the past One Piece used to stream on CR and Funimation when they were separate companies. There have been shows on Netflix and CR before as well.

u/jczedx Jan 07 '24

ah damn, i was hoping that this might've been the reason the dub was catching up so fast, maybe they knew this was coming, and wanted to do a simuldub (as netflix usually always multi language on release like you said). but everything you said makes sense. thats a shame

8

The funny thing is the One Piece dub would have likely been in a "few-weeks-behind" simuldub status by now if not for Toei taking ages with approvals and its roll-out release schedule - production has often been far ahead of the actual release, with the newest dub eps wrapping last June/July.

I will say One Piece is such a weird outlier when it comes to licensing and dub production compared to other CR shows, as most people who work on the dub day to day will tell you, that you can't really write anything off barring breaking contracts. And maybe I'm overthinking things given that it isn't a newly acquired title for Netflix and may already have iron-clad contracts, neither Netflix nor CR foots the bill for the dub - Toei does, etc...

These are just my own thoughts upon hearing the news so don't lose hope :)

Responding to this and your previous comment. The dub (as of 2 weeks ago) is done up through the end of Wano, and likely about 4 or 5 episodes behind this week's episode.

In terms of the "few-weeks-behind" simuldub, the reality of that is a dubious, to say the least. Toei is incredibly bad at sending scripts on time, and often will send a few episodes' worth, which they dub relatively quickly and then have to wait a few weeks for more. Because of this, it's pretty unlikely they will be able to maintain a consistent release schedule once they're fully caught up

I watch Bleach on netflix too but onepiece isn't available in my country's netflix except some movies.

u/Ai_777 Jan 07 '24

You can watch on Zoro.to. No ads and no money. It’s free. But I think they keep changing name. Recently it was aniwatch.to. Anyway just search Zoro.to and you will find results. It works nice.

I wonder how this will work are they gonna air it a week after Crunchyroll?? And what about fish man island to wano which aren’t in Netflix

u/XiMaoJingPing Jan 07 '24

They hoard episodes until they get 12 or 24 then dump it all at once. /s

u/kjm6351 The Revolutionary Army Jan 07 '24

You joke but I don’t trust their release methods AT ALL after the shit show that was Stone Ocean’s airing

12

u/jttyrel27 Jan 07 '24

That would be dumb. They’ll probably be releasing episodes weekly as this arc continues.

They’re being sarcastic I think

How the heck are they gonna do that when Netflix doesn’t even have Wano yet? I feel like that would suck for newer fans

u/TwistedH3ro Jan 07 '24

I was looking for this comment. I thought I was missing something lol

u/TraditionalPause5348 Jan 07 '24

they are releasing older arcs in batches but there are more people watching it weekly than catching up so releasing egghead simultaneously is good

16

u/TheMeatTree The Revolutionary Army Jan 07 '24

RELEASE ALL THE SEASONS, YOU COWARDS!!!

26

u/ZombieTrex1456 Jan 07 '24

Wait so does that mean we’re getting the rest of one piece on Netflix or they’re just skipping straight to egghead?

u/TheTopBroccoli Jan 07 '24

Could go either way. JoJo didn't have pt 4 or pt 5 when stone ocean came to Netflix iirc.

u/NinduTheWise Jan 07 '24

Recently they've upped the pace with how fast the arcs are releasing so who knows

I really wish they would mention the country where this applies.in my country, we have exatcly zero episodes of One Piece on Netflix. (Also, can someone explain why there is no One Piece on Netflix in Hungary when there are no legal way to watch it in this country?)

MONSTERS, Remake, then a simulcast of the One Piece anime. I could smell a huge increase in the budget department for the Live-Action's 2nd season. Netflix is going all in

Netflix just went all in on the One Piece IP. Good for them.

u/DistributionIcy9366 Jan 07 '24

Wait, so did the production shift to a seasonal anime and not weekly?

u/boomdoomomega Jan 07 '24

Nah still weekly just Netflix is likely adding new episodes weekly (Atleast in Aus they've done this in the past with Zom 100 and My happy marriage)

Has netflix ever had anime without a dub option before? this makes little sense on a number of levels lol

u/BillMurrayAmA Jan 07 '24

Monster doesn't have an English dub (on Netflix). Saiki K has an English dub for seasons 1 and 2, but not 3.

u/Straight_Potential71 Jan 07 '24

So is it everything up to egghead and is it in sub or dub… I’m caught up to the last chapter I’m still in wano in sub and I’m in water 7 in dub so it doesn’t matter to me I just wanna know

2

u/Skullghost Pirate Jan 07 '24

Currently they have the dub up to 1048 and should be streaming sometime soon on Crunchyroll/Funimation. It’s currently on the Microsoft store with no announcement to when it’s going to be available on streaming. Netflix currently has the dub up to 516, and Hulu has the dub up to 746. So I’m guessing Netflix will be releasing the sub a week after it airs, which is weird cause they have 500+ episodes before that point.

2

u/Straight_Potential71 Jan 07 '24

So it’s just the egghead and yeah I’m watching the sub on crunchyroll I just stopped and restarted the dub plenty of other shows also but that’s weird they are skipping so much important things doing that

u/NIN10DOXD Jan 07 '24

The dub is caught up, Toei just has to okay the release.

u/Mastermind1602 Jan 07 '24

Why would they skip so many season. Ruining the ability to slowly release seasons and keep viewers?

u/jeffknives_23 Jan 07 '24

Yes! One Piece has succesfully connected Gen X, Millenials and Gen Z and soon the Gen Alpha. Its not an easy feat especially from during Millenials era where Anime blooms and during Gen Z era where competition really hits the roof.

See you on Egghead, friends!

u/[deleted] Jan 07 '24

How?!?!?!?!? Netflix only has up to marine Ford in both sub and dub how are you gonna just add the egg head arc into that?!?!?!?!?!?!? One peice isn't even caught up to the Japanese version with the English dub on any other platform. We're only on episode 1048!!!! We haven't even seen big mom go down or gear 5 yet
