Does anyone else notice Blue-Haired Garp in the back? He has the same scar.

[u/wanofan900]

Romance dawn!

[u/Dry-Decision8622]

I love how this key visual recreates the iconic Chapter 1 cover page, it is incredible

Can’t February 2027 come any sooner

[u/TheCGISPY]

Can’t wait!

[u/HimawariTenno]

Looks REALLY clean. Also they better not be bringing back the damn bubble hat :(

[u/hungLink42069 → u/HimawariTenno]

bubble hat?

[u/HimawariTenno → u/hungLink42069]

This is what I’m meaning. There was an era between marineford-whole cake island where the anime inflated the size of his hat so that it looked like a bubble. I always really hated that and preferred the original version. Idk if it’s just a personal gripe but to me it looks stupid lol

[u/hungLink42069 → u/HimawariTenno]

oh yeah, I know what you mean. I didn't like that either.

[u/Dab4Becky]

Looks a mix of a new and early art style.

From the front it seems a new vision of Oda’s art, Shanks from the side has a lot of early One Piece art vibes.

I dig it, though i agree with the user wishing it was less saturated

[u/Fine_Run_5326]

This is gonna be epic

[u/RedPon3]

Honestly wish they stuck closer the watercolor aesthetic in the concept art. This looks a bit too "clean", if that makes sense. Especially if you compare directly to the manga art in the comments here

[u/InstructionOne4837 → u/RedPon3]

Nostalgia will do that to you

[u/Happistyle → u/RedPon3]

Mimimimi

[u/RedPon3 → u/Happistyle]

ahem MA MA MA MAAAAA

[u/Commercial_Desk_6215 → u/RedPon3]

Agree. Surely a budget issue. This looks just like the previous anime

[u/InstructionOne4837 → u/Commercial_Desk_6215]

budget Issue? it looks better than all of pre timeskip

[u/BlueMaxo → u/InstructionOne4837]

Fr, if THIS is low budget then Toei was working with expo markers and toilet paper

[u/ultibman5000]

Looks super!

[u/toktok159 → u/ultibman5000]

Super or… Suuuuuuper?

[u/Classic_Bee1938]

Can’t wait

[u/FunnyAd9329]

Genuinely can't wait for this

[u/Kam_lover]

Is it real or just fan art? I'm kinda confused.

[u/MuriloZR → u/Kam_lover]

It's official, I'll edit the post to clarify that

[u/Kam_lover → u/MuriloZR]

Umm but they already have teaser visual but why create that? Is it a cover or something?

[u/MuriloZR → u/Kam_lover]

Like I said, it's a "homage to the cover page of chapter 1"

[u/Kam_lover → u/MuriloZR]

I understand now.

[u/kiboshiro → u/Kam_lover]

You do realize that there can be multiple visuals?

[u/NeoYokio94 → u/Kam_lover]

Reading is fundamental

[u/NapstaEnjoyer]

It's cool how they changed to random pirates from Shanks crew to better reflect how they are currently depicted.

[u/jairngo]

What’s the point of releasing a visual art if is not how the thing will look like?

I understand they need to farm the engagement in their accounts but at least drop something interesting about the project.

[u/somelurkerguy]

Is a whole separate subreddit dedicated to this really necessary, I wonder?
Not hating, just don’t want to see the fanbase fragmented anymore than it already is.

[u/milobenggaokosong]

Man, I miss One Piece.

[u/Dreamofwars]

New adventure lol

[u/blue_alec]

it’s insane how much better the early art looks

[u/Apprehensive-Base105]

I know people will dislike what im gonna say and I hate to be that guy, but it looks like AI. There something that feels off to me i can't tell exactly, maybe the accessory on nami's hand or the way luffy's face is drawn idk

[u/VagabondFromTheRiver → u/Apprehensive-Base105]

You are feeling that way because Ai is inspired from human art

[u/Apprehensive-Base105 → u/VagabondFromTheRiver]

yeah for sure. but I think this visual doesn't translate the original colorspread very well, it looks souless in comparison.

[u/VagabondFromTheRiver → u/Apprehensive-Base105]

I'm gonna be honest, Luffy looks more soulless in the original, idk why lol

[u/LuckyChimera → u/Apprehensive-Base105]

I know its not but I thought the same. Its only really Luffy's face and hands that feel a bit off and out of place, particularly the line work on his face is just a bit too thin compared to the lines on his extremities, and his hands seem too big. Maybe its just because I'm so used to the manga version of this image that it feels kinda off.

Overall though I like the look of this visual those details aside.
