speaker_2HOST
It really is.
speaker_1HOST
It started with Netflix reaching out to George Wada, the co-founder and president of WIT Studio.
speaker_1HOST
According to Wada, Netflix approached him with a deceptively simple proposition.
speaker_1HOST
They asked if he wanted to, quote, "Challenge himself to a task."
speaker_1HOST
Exactly.
speaker_1HOST
[laughs] Netflix asking someone to casually reinvent the most popular, profitable piece of Japanese media of the last quarter century and calling it a task is wild.
speaker_1HOST
But looking at the landscape, why WIT Studio?
speaker_2HOST
It's a good question.
speaker_0HOST
And I finally ended up getting... a screenshot of the context of what exactly that was.
speaker_0HOST
So confused, but I'm kind of glad for him because they're going to be getting another season animated by Studio Wit now that season three of A Sentence of Bookworm is over.
speaker_0HOST
Even though there were a fair few of those that I didn't end up watching, which I will definitely get to in a moment.
speaker_0HOST
At the very least for the other shows, like besides JoJo's that have already like jumped into already, like we've had Black Clover's second season already starting.
DylanHOST
Do like short.
SolomonHOST
Uh, it's by Wit Studio, which is actually the studio that I- is making the new One Piece, which by the way, has been announced.
SolomonHOST
We have not done One Piece news in so long.
DylanHOST
[laughs]
speaker_1HOST
Midway through the story, the mystery of the Titans' origins is revealed, and the genre completely shifts from a post-apocalyptic survival horror to a sprawling geopolitical treatise on fascism, propaganda, and the cycle of violence.
speaker_0HOST
The source notes that the animation studio transition from Wit Studio's clean, heroic lines to Mappa's gritty, tired, hyperrealistic character designs perfectly mirrors this descent into moral ambiguity.
speaker_1HOST
The author chose this as the greatest anime of all time because of how it aggressively forces the audience to confront their own biases.
speaker_1HOST
By the final seasons, the perspective flips.
LawrenceHOST
Mm-hmm
SebHOST
...
SebHOST
the Netflix One Piece remake from WIT Studios.
SebHOST
Hope...
SebHOST
That, that will probably inspire me to watch the more current episodes, so.
AndrewHOST
This was one of our picks from that season.
AndrewHOST
This is done by Studio Wit, and it is an original piece of work as well, similar to, you know, Yuri on Ice [laughs] as well.
OtakuHOST
Mm-hmm.
AndrewHOST
Um, so the synopsis that I wrote, 'cause I, I couldn't think of a really funny one for this one, I just wrote, "Life as a foreign art student in 1900s England." [laughs]
JosephHOST
because of the spectacle.
JosephHOST
It was an original anime from Wit Studio.
JosephHOST
It was written by the author of ReZero, and one of the scriptwriters from the anime adaptation of ReZero.
JosephHOST
The animation was fantastic, with intense combat scenes, as well as beautiful singing scenes.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
So I could see this being a offshoot kind of-
AlexHOST
Like WIT
speaker_5UNKNOWN
Nah.
speaker_5UNKNOWN
The fucking motorcycles
AlexHOST
Yeah.
AlexHOST
In- interesting.
AlexHOST
Well, MAPPA, I believe, is owned by WIT
speaker_5UNKNOWN
Oh, is it?
