One Piece Animator From Toei Feels Undervalued After Remake Announcement

“What will be the new remake of the anime currently on the air? I feel a little sad that the value of the animation that has been accumulated up to now may diminish.”
Some fans also supported the notion the staff member shared that the value of current work may be diminished by the remake.
However, many fans supported and appreciated the current anime team.
The fans showed their support for the animator by stating how the remake could replace the original animation.
