Netflix wasn’t kidding when it said it was going all in on anime a few years back. The streaming service is expanding its titles monthly, and if you didn’t know, it is even making a live-action adaptation of One Piece. Filming is now underway on the project overseas, and one of its directors has just updated fans on the series at long last.

Over on Twitter, Marc Jobst caught the attention of fans when they posted a special tribute to One Piece. It turns out the episode director and executive producer has finished their work on the TV series. They posted a series of photos taken on set in South Africa to commemorate their work, and Jobst had nothing but love to share for the Straw Hat crew.
“Farewell South Africa.Land of sunshine, hard work, little creatures that visit each day, and mountains that every day took my breath away.Thank you to the incredibly talented crew that help bring this show to life. Now to the next stage…the cut,” the director wrote.

As you can see above, Jobst is feeling good about One Piece, but his work is far from over. The director still needs to bring the episodes he oversaw to the cutting room floor. At this time, Netflix has officially said Jobst is overseeing two episodes of One Piece, but that total could have changed. The show has kept its other directors on the down low, leaving Jobst to shoulder all of the fans’ curiosity. As One Piece continues to film, netizens are becoming more and more desperate to see the Straw Hat crew at work. And if some final cuts are approved soon, well – Netflix may have something to share at its big June event.
