After all… from here on we will arrive at (the) ONE PIECE!!” Although Oda has worked hard to create One Piece for over 25 years, he believes that new fans can start at the beginning of the Final Saga and still be able to enjoy the story.
One Piece Creator Encourages New Fans to Start with Egghead
The Egghead Island Arc contains Episode #1086 of the Anime & Chapter #1058 of the Manga
Oda initially referenced the manga when he suggested that new fans could “read from here on out.” However, now that the One Piece anime has officially begun the first part of the Final Saga, this talented author's suggestion also works for the Egghead Island part of the anime. While there will be plenty of settings, characters, and possibilities to confuse new fans, The direction and character writing in the One Piece anime makes for an enjoyable viewing experience without having to watch the previous 1088 episodes..
Netflix will release the latest episode of the One Piece anime a week after it becomes available on Crunchyroll.
Netflix has been feeding its subscribers with One Piece anime for the past few years by releasing multiple installments of the pirate epic over time. However, The Fishman Island arc will be the latest arc added to Netflix servers in the United States on July 1, 2024until episode #574. Viewers who watched the series exclusively on Netflix may be confused when the story moves to episode #1089, the first episode of the Egghead arc, which is extremely well-directed. However, over time, Netflix will definitely add missing episodes of the anime that cover events after One Piece's incredible timeline.
Why did Netflix switch to Egghead Island?
Streaming licenses make watching series a lot more complicated
Series creator Eiichiro Oda and the companies that control the rights to the franchise decide how One Piece can be sold and have been responsible for the series since its inception. Shueisha is the Japanese manga publisher, while Toei Animation produces the One Piece anime. The decisions of those companies make One Piece what it is today. Ultimately, they have to negotiate fees and licenses, determines which streamers can show which episodes. However, the license will expire, leaving it up to the streamer to renew, most likely at a new price, which could lead to more negotiations.
The modern age of online entertainment has brought with it a whole new complex legal and licensing system that allows streaming giants like Netflix and Crunchyroll exclusive rights to present series like One Piece to audiences. their fake. While Netflix recently decided to support the One Piece franchise, Crunchyroll (and streaming service Funimation of late) has been streaming the series since 2009.
It may have taken a lot of negotiation and a significant amount of money, but Netflix has been steadily increasing the number of One Piece anime episodes available on its streaming platform. However, Toei's One Piece series has been airing since 1999, and with Netflix only giving it the attention it deserves in the past few years, it has a lot of catching up to do compared to platforms that have supported the series for much longer. Still, skipping the sequel and including newer episodes from the Egghead Island arc would certainly increase the overall excitement for more current One Piece content.
Why is Netflix missing so many One Piece anime episodes?
The streaming giant has yet to add most of the post-One Piece seasons to its catalog.
With the franchise's popularity growing, Toei could be asking Netflix to make more money for more recent episodes, which could explain why it's adding individual seasons instead of all of the series. It's also possible that previous licenses or contracts with platforms like Crunchyroll prohibit certain seasons from appearing on other streamers until a certain date. That way, fans will have fewer options for where to watch newer One Piece episodes.
Although Netflix now has a lot of anime series to enjoy, especially for new fans who want to see more of Luffy's adventures after enjoying the One Piece Live-Action series, the series is still lacking. many episodes. The first piece of One Piece post-production skip content, the Fish-Man Island arc, will eventually be available on Netflix, with episodes #499 – #556 arriving on July 1, 2024. However, The streaming giant continues to add sequels from time to time, it probably will take some time before every episode of the One Piece anime is available on Netflix.
One Piece's Final Saga Was Good Enough to Skip Ahead
Viewers may get lost in the new episodes, but it's still enjoyable
Starting the One Piece anime from the Egghead arc is an option for first-time viewers.but they'll certainly have a lot of questions. If new fans watch the newer episodes and like what they experience, they'll likely go back and catch up on what they missed. Even without the full context, though, the Egghead arc proves that Eiichiro Oda is only improving his storytelling skills. The final story of A piece would be a marvel to behold, even if the viewer misses much of the story.
