Will Be Back On April 6th
One Pieceis one of the biggest series in the world. It is also one of the longest-running anime. A few months ago, in late 2024, it was announced that the anime would be going on hiatus for 6 whole months. Specifically, it went on hiatus on Jun 21, 2025.
Since then, fans have been eagerly waiting for the anime’s return, and the date on which theOne Pieceanime is returning is rapidly approaching.
TheOne Pieceanime is scheduled to return on June 25, 2025. So in other words, theOne Pieceanime will be back in around 6 weeks, or about a month and a half. The wait was definitely long, but it’s now only a few weeks until the Egghead arc resumes in the anime with Part 2.
In the meantime,the remastered version of the Fishman Island arcwill continue airing.
What This Means For The One Piece Anime
The One Piece Anime Could Become Seasonal
This sudden hiatus forOne Piecewas unusual, to say the least. Nobody really expected it, but it could become a more common occurrence.One Piecehas been a weekly anime since its beginning, back in 1999, but it might be time for a change.

One huge issueOne Piecestruggles with is pacing, and a seasonal adaptation would definitely fix this issue. It’s also hard to maintain such high-quality animation on a weekly basis,so a seasonal anime would give animators more timeto work on the show by improving production conditions.
For now, nothing is set in stone, and fans will have to see what step the anime takes next after they wrap up the Egghead Island arc in the show.
