It’s about $17 million dollars an episode and there are about 1059 episodes to adapt. If they keep pace it will only cost about 18 billion dollars to adapt the current anime series.
Well, it’s not like an anime episode is the same as a live action episode though.
An anime episode is like 20 minutes of content after you remove the opening and recap and ending. And if you remove all the filler and repeating scenes, it’s maybe 5-10 minutes of actual content. They adapted like 45-50 episodes into 8, and the first saga is probably one of the most dense in terms of content.
For the future, I fully expect a 10:1 ratio between anime episodes and live episodes. Maybe even more.
That would still mean more than 12 seasons to go, before catching up to now, with who knows how many more before the series ends.
Hah. Like Netflix is ever going to approve a third season of anything ever again.
They have twenty to go, tops.
Yes. Netflix contracts are famous for having compensation bumps after the second season. Netflix tends to kill everything after the second season.
I mean, One Piece is kind of famous for it’s breadth. I feel like they wouldn’t greenlight it if they weren’t prepared to follow through.
I don’t trust capitalists and I don’t trust Netflix. It is a safer bet they will cancel than continue this show after 3 seasons.
