The “One Piece” fan community has been buzzing about the highly anticipated remake of this iconic anime, only to be faced with rumors of AI usage – a practice frowned upon in many art aspects due to its controversial nature.
Particularly, according to the CEO of the studio in charge of the “One Piece” remake anime, staff in the studio regularly discuss the utilization of AI.
“As technology evolves, we will continue to explore ways to utilize AI and digital drawing tools to create better works, and we hope to raise the level of the entire anime industry”, the CEO said, drawing concerns.
However, these rumors have officially been debunked, much to the joy of fans.
In particular, Tomonori Kuroda, the new art director for the “One Piece” anime remake, is firmly against the use of AI, even for background work, stating that he believe this technology to be “entirely the wrong approach”.
Therefore, fans will be able to rest assure for this high-anticipated animated series.
Meanwhile, as previously announced, the production studio for the “One Piece” anime remake has invited the team behind “Attack on Titan” to join the project. This decision has been met with enthusiastic support from the audience, as the “Attack on Titan” team has proven their ability to create stunning action sequences and emotionally impactful moments.
The combination of the “Attack on Titan” team’s experience and the compelling storyline of “One Piece” promises to deliver a high-quality product.
One of the notable highlights of the remake is the improvement in visual quality. The first concept art and character designs released show meticulous attention to detail. Colors are more vibrant, character lines are sharper, and the design style is more modern. This indicates that the production studio is taking the creation of a visually appealing and impressive “One Piece” very seriously.
Of course, there have been complaints, particularly regarding the paler skin tone in the latest character design of character Usopp. Nevertheless, enthusiasm seems to be the major reaction from the fan community.
On the other hand, the denial of AI usage rumors is good news for fans. Many were concerned that the use of AI would strip the anime of its finesse and soul. Now, with the decision to rely on human creativity and artistry, the producers have shown that they prioritize artistic quality.
The remake of “One Piece” is expected to be released soon. With careful investment and fan support, the film promises to be one of the most successful anime productions of the year.
