From the very first announcement teaser, we knew the new and highly anticipated animated film ONE PIECE FILM RED will present a female character who will play a key role in the story, a character who, according to recent information on the net, would have been strongly requested by the same author of the manga Eiichirō Oda.
This was communicated during a recent press conference Shinji Shimizuproducer for TOEI ANIMATIONwhich has precisely made known which were the two requests that Oda made for this new upcoming movie:
- The director shouldn’t have necessarily been involved with the anime series
- An important role should have been given to a female character
The production managed to satisfy both requests, and given the past interactions it had from Shimizu with Goro Taniguchi (Code Geass), it was thought of him as the best choice to direct this film. From the negotiation it emerged that the same Taniguchi was a longtime friend of Odaand he immediately took the job.
As for the important role of a female character, however, it was a bit more complicated, as it was quite difficult to write the script with this request in mind.
ONE PIECE FILM RED will enjoy the presence of the same Oda as an executive producer, and his involvement in this project has been likened to that of ONE PIECE FILM: STRONG WORLDfor which he wrote the story.
This new adventure for the Mugiwara will arrive in Japanese cinemas from the next August 6And Anime Factory has already launched some anticipation regarding his arrival in Italy.
