Few anime sagas have captured hearts worldwide quite like One Piece, and for many fans, Netflix has been the go-to destination to stream the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat crew for a long time. But recent updates have sparked concern, as the entire pirate franchise is set to depart the streaming giant sooner than expected, leaving fans with barely a week to catch these iconic films.

Netflix fans are in for a shock as One Piece faces an unexpected exit, sending ripples of concern through the anime community.

The Straw Hats are set to chart a new course away from Netflix as soon as the forthcoming month. According to What’s on Netflix, several One Piece movies, including fan favorites like the 2016 outings One Piece: Heart of Gold and One Piece Film: Gold, 2017’s One Piece Episode of East Blue – Luffy and His Four Crewmates’ Great Adventure, and 2018’s One Piece Episode of Skypiea, will collectively depart the platform on September 1. Each film, needless to say, turned several of the iconic manga series arcs into cinematic spectacles, making their Netflix exit feel like the end of an era for platform loyalists.

For those open to exploring other streaming sites, though, life will not turn blue all of a sudden, as the calendar page films to show the beginning of the later months, as many of the aforementioned movies will remain digitally accessible courtesy of platforms like Crunchyroll, Amazon Prime Video, and more. While fans may not have free streaming available on all of these platforms, shelling out a few bucks for the experience will definitely save the day. Meanwhile, One Piece is not the only saga Netflix is letting go sooner rather than later. Several other popular movies are also departing the streaming giant.

Cinephiles have only until August 31 to catch these gems on Netflix

Netflix is about to say goodbye to some of its most beloved films, leaving a gap for movie lovers of every genre. Classics like The Notebook and 50 First Dates, which have long warmed fans’ hearts with romance and laughter, are set to depart the platform alongside One Piece. Festive favorites like The Polar Express and The Holiday will also vanish, making this a bitter farewell for viewers who had integrated these titles into their lives as seasonal traditions.

Besides these romantic and holiday films, iconic gritty movies are on Netflix’s chopping block as well, with the Anchorman duo and Red Eye leaving. Legendary franchises like the 1970s Airport series are disappearing from Netflix’s treasure trove of thrillers, too. For cinephiles, and especially the One Piece community, this is a wake-up call to catch these cinematic treasures while they still can, as a streaming alternative may not offer the same convenience as Netflix. September surely brings both nostalgia and urgency for viewers.
