   They're keeping us a bit longer because the live action One Piece was a gateway drug into the anime, and they have a lot of it on there (just finished watching episode 316 today, a few more and we're done with the Water 7 arc).

   But I was ready to cancel for the first time in years before that, as I realize I had barely touched it in almost a year, with the exception of Alice in Borderland and a handful of other things here and there.

   Whenever we get through what they have of One Piece I'll probably cancel until season 2 of the live action comes out (or some other show we like comes back, like maybe Squid Game season 2).

   I thought the live action One Piece was amazing!

   My 14 year old boy loves One Piece anime, so we watched it together so I could see what it was all about.

   It’s a surprising substantial TV show in its own right, and for once a fantasy TV is just good fun without trying to hard to be serious drama.

   There are quite a few movies that got the "definitive cut" treatment. As already mentioned by others the original Star Wars trilogy has spawned a slew of unofficial cuts, with some aiming to undo the controversial edits made for the home releases and restore as much of the original theatrical releases as possible [1] while others try to offer a completely new viewing experience.

   More recently, fan made cuts have been surfacing for some TV and anime series, especially long-running ones with known pacing issues. For instance, the popularity of Netflix's One Piece live action adaptation has led to an influx of people watching the original anime through a project that gets rid of all the fillers and content not present in the manga [2].
