IShowSpeed fulfills his otaku dream and announces his own anime series

If you thought the barking, the backflips, and the live antics had reached their peak, hold on tight. Big Shot Pictures has just dropped news that turned the internet upside down: the world-famous content creator IShowSpeed will star in his own anime-style series. And no, it's not a parody or a short YouTube video; it's a full-scale production where Darren Watkins Jr. himself will lend his voice and chaotic personality to an animated version of himself.

A heavyweight team straight from the Grand Line

What truly sent the hype for this project into the stratosphere is the mastermind behind the script. The anime series is being written and produced by Matt Owens, the man who gave us the first two seasons of the acclaimed One Piecelive-action. It is worth remembering that Owens stepped away from the pirate adaptation last year to prioritize his mental health, but now he returns recharged alongside Brian Robbins and filmmaker Harmony Korine to shape the overflowing energy of the two-time Streamer of the Year winner.

The ultimate otaku dream come true

It's no secret that IShowSpeed is an otaku at heart, being one of the biggest fans of Luffy's crew worldwide. Just last month, he broke the internet by announcing a real-life treasure hunt after Eiichiro Oda confirmed details about the manga's finale. Now, the 21-year-old and his 52 million subscribers are ready to see how his passion for Japanese animation materializes into a real narrative story.

While we don't have an official synopsis or release date yet, the production company's founder promised that the show will capture the streamer's unique ability to connect with audiences around the globe. Knowing the level of madness Speed brings to his broadcasts, what do you think the main story of this anime will be about?
