UPDATE Thank you everyone so much for their patience! After countless emails, phone calls, last-minute rushes to the office, a taxi ride through Tokyo, and updating this news post via a smart phone, ONE PIECE IS NOW ON CRUNCHYROLL!



Hey guys, I know everyone's super excited for One Piece-- and we are too-- but unfortunately it looks like the servers imploded from everyone's passion and excitement radiating through their computer screens!

BUT, do not panic! We have our team of highly trained video ninjas working as fast as they can to get One Piece encoded and ready for you guys as soon as they can, so just sit tight, grab some dinner, read some manga, and One Piece will be here before you know it!

Thanks for everyone's patience!

Happy Halloween everyone! We're hot off the heels of our manga launch, but just because we love you guys, we wanted to give you yet another surprise!

Remember all those requests?


Well, we listened!

You guys have no idea how hard it's been to not spill the beans about this, and truly, it's been fun watching everyone guess what that lineup box was going to be. But FINALLY, after YEARS of blood, sweat, tears, and countless emails and negotiations, we can announce that One Piece is coming to Crunchyroll!


Starting THIS Saturday, November 2, Crunchyroll will be simulcasting One Piece at 7pm Pacific Daylight Time with episode 619, for both Premium AND Free members! All previous episodes will be also be available on Crunchyroll at a later date.

One Piece will be available to Crunchyroll audiences in the following territories: USA, Canada, South Africa, Australia, New Zealand, and Latin America.

I'm sure most of you already know just how big this is, but just in case you're new to the series, here's why you should watch:

The king of anime is here! Consistently one of the top-ranked manga and anime series in Japan, One Piece finally makes its way to Crunchyroll! A colorful, fun-filled adventure with a delightful cast that has been amazing viewers for over 10 years now, One Piece sets sail on the high seas with Monkey. D. Luffy as he and his crew, the Straw Hat Crew, search for the ultimate treasure, One Piece.

Currently in its 16th season, the Punk Hazard arc, the Straw Hat Crew find themselves heading to the island of Punk Hazard answering a distress call originating from there. Once ashore, they discover an ex-navy scientist, Caesar Clown, performing experiments on children. Teaming up with the prisoners on the island, Luffy and his crew attempt to stop Caesar and his henchman once and for all.

Now let the rejoicing commence! Maybe over at the awesome CR One Piece group run by one of our lovely Support Staff, starry!

????????????

I assume its a countdown for something, but it doesnt count down though.

You've broken the 7th Seal?

New simulcast? lol I don't know what it is lol

Battlefield 4?

It's not moving. Is there a countdown to the countdown?

13 minutes to find out

I think it's supposed to countdown to 2:45 EST, which is in 14 minutes. Presumably this is for that last simulcast box which says it will be announced today. If they are making a big deal of it, it is more likely to be Pupa.

It's moving with me. Do you have javascript disabled?



I hope it's a Windows 8 metro app .
