One Piece‘s anime has finally returned six months after it went on hiatus last year, and it has kicked off its grand return with a glorious new opening theme sequence. One Piece‘s anime took a historic hiatus for the first time in the anime’s two decade long run as the team behind the series took a break after the first half of the Egghead Arc to get ready for what’s coming next. The anime has been on a hiatus since last Fall as a result, so fans have been especially anxious to see how it was all going to look when it returned to screens.

What’s Next for One Piece?
One Piece’s anime was in the midst of a hiatus for six long months, and that wait is finally over. Now that the series is back in action, it will be showcasing new episodes for the foreseeable future as the anime continues through the climactic second half of the Egghead Arc. This is the first major arc of the Final Saga Eiichiro Oda’s long running series overall, and there are some big teases for where this is all going to end as a result.
Now that the anime is back with weekly episodes, there are still many other One Piece projects that are in the works. The One Piece is a brand new remake of the series coming to Netflix adapting the anime from the very beginning once more, and Netflix also has Season 2 of the live-action series coming on the way as well. Together with a new spinoff series released to celebrate the end of this hiatus, and new chapters of Oda’s manga still dropping, it’s going to be a great Spring for fans of the franchise.
