I just had a thought, do you think the dubbed episodes will start appearing on Adult Swim's Gold streaming service?
Funi TV Discussion (Saturday Night/Sunday Morning 1:00 a.m., USA Toonami)

I didn't watch toonami. Did they do anything one piece related yet? Catch up videos or something.
No, the special goodie they referenced on Tumblr was for a weird, eerie bumper they ran a few times. It was a great night though, the new look for TOM and the whole block was impressive.
They did however do a funny Easter egg with Tenchi GXP by having a bumper for it where a character says "Seina (the main character) doesn't belong here!", referencing the unpopularity of the show among Toonami viewers and the Toonami crew themselves, and it's extra funny since a second bump for that show during the midpoint had Seina mention pirates attacking. We all know OP's replacing that show when it ends so it was amusing.

It's kinda sad how hated Tenchi GXP is. I mean, when it first came out, I liked it…not loved it, but I didn't hate it (though it was during a Tenchi "depression" and I wanted some more Tenchi material). But yeah, Tenchi GXP just wasn't Toonami material. It might've passed by okay when the series was first being brought over, but it has not aged well. I'm hoping this doesn't deter Toonami from maybe checking out War on Geminar ('cause that one is pretty good) albeit the episodes are longer. So yeah, that could cause some complications.
-
Here's hoping they choose some cool clips for the One Piece bumps.
-
I edited the thread title to reflect the premiere information, anyone let me know if I have it all correct or not.
-
Technically it's going to be May 19th at 1 A.M., but not that big of a deal.
-
kinda odd that for the next 5 days, Neon Alley isn't showing OP on the schedule. There was a 12-1AM Thurs May 02 showing but nothing for the next 5 days
-
"One Piece" was on the schedule last night, though I didn't watch it. "One Piece" is probably just taking a "break" as the spring season is unfolding, maybe they're re-working the contract or something. We'lll probably start seeing new episodes on there soon enough, I mean it's one Neon Alley's highest-rated shows that isn't dub premieres. Hopefully we'll get a "One Piece" speed-up on Neon Alley.

I'll subscribe if they're season four or five episodes.

Any reason why you don't want to rewatch it from the beginning?
-
^Probably already has it on DVD.
-
Actually, I have it on DVD times two.
-
If they started doing four new episodes a week on Neon Alley relatively soon this year, Neon Alley and where Toonami going to be will get really close.
-
hi firecrotch. do you work for TONAMI i can't for ONE PIECE to be back on the cartoony network

Yeah…he's a bit of an odd duck ain't he?
-
Either he's slightly mentally challenged or he's a very bored troll.

I kept wanting to say something about it,but no one paid mind to it till now. (PS: cartoony network?)
Also one more thing,its been awhile but is that image from the boondocks?
-
Yeah it's from Boondocks, one of the Season 3 episodes, The Fundraiser.
-
i am not a boy my is JENNY PESQUERA. i like it here.
-
@ Maron, man do I miss that show.
Anyways were so close to the tv airing i can almost taste it. It warms my heart that some newcomers to the show,somewhere out there,will be experiencing this series for the first time.

Whelp I'm staying up for Toonami tonight
-
Time to DVR Toonami.
-
My little brother told me it just happened during venture bros. I like that they have a two week notice instead of one. My body is ready toonami.
-
The Toonami promo just aired right after the Venture Bros end.
-
S-so I missed it? Ah well, there's always Youtube. I was expecting them to show it later, but the fact that they showed it earlier is actually really great, more people get to see it who probably go to bed earlier and they now know it's coming.

Here is the promo: http://toonamialliance.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/one-piece-toonami-promo/

Here is the promo: http://toonamialliance.wordpress.com/2013/05/05/one-piece-toonami-promo/
That was…so good.
-

It's like each of those places/events is a new island to sail to… I guess adult swim can be Raftel?
-
That was awesome.
-
It was alright, wasn't too excited.
-
GET HYPED!!! WOOO!
But seriously, good promo. It captures the One Piece theme while also showing some neat action.
-
thank you firecrotch. i liked that promo.
-
Ha, I was bummed that I missed the promo. So I followed the online link…then, just when I was about to see it online, it started playing on TV. I'm happy w/ the promo. And I'm looking forward to OP on Toonami even more now! ^^

That shot of the SH Jolly Roger is from One Day (OP 13), which was used for the whole Marineford arc… Obviously meaning tonight's goodie must then be an announcement that the true starting point of OP on TV will be Marineford.
I cracked the code.
-
I love you, john cena guy.
Also,I loved the promo.
-
Just saw the promo on TV: ONE PIECE IN HD! So awesome! The DVDs always looked great to me but damn this is going to kill that for me :P
-
Man, I can't wait for this. Promo got me even more excited, welcome back Toonami and One Piece, hope we get to the Crocodile arc sooner or later.
Wonder how much longer till Funimation gets to Thriller Bark? -
Let's trend this bad boy.
#OnePiece #Toonami #GivePieceAChance**** Go at it.
-
Do you mean impel down or Alabasta?
Yeah. The promo looks great! Can't wait to see, then download, it in full, stunning HD! I have all the one piece dvd releases and rereleases, but this is one thing we can only get on tv. Plus, this brings more hope of a dubbed song. Since they'll still be using this song in some form…
-
I am hyped. Hopefully the fandom over here in the US grows like crazy. The silliness of the Davy back fight kind of worries me (I love the arc, but it's not well done in the anime, and it doesn't really give a good idea of what One-Piece is. People who have preconceived notions about the series will see it and assume they're right), but the amazingness of Water 7 should get a lot of people hooked.
-
I liked the promo. It gave good info to newer fans. Hopefully next week's will have more info on past arcs. I'm still waiting for the guide to update so I can set up all the recordings. Soon…..

What do you mean "only get on tv"? The episodes they're going to premiere are already out on DVD.

What good info? It didn't really tell you anything.
-
As much as I don't like agreeing with Firecrouch, I have to agree. This promo didn't tell the general public anything other than they are going to start 200 episodes into the show, and that if they want to find out more info, they need to check Funimation.com for more. Again, while it's nice they're advertising the website, and they're doing this outside of Toonami hours 2 weeks ahead of time, it doesn't help alleviate public fears of starting 200 episodes in.
I don't have faith that casual viewers will check out the website on their own, I feel they need some sort of info that eases their fears that the episodes they're starting on is relatively overarching plot free.
-
They should've at least also mentioned that they can go to OnePieceOfficial.com. How hard would that have been? Makes more sense than FUNimation.com
-
How many casual fans do you think have been watching Bleach since episode 1? And let's be honest, how many people would be complaining if Naruto started at Shippuden instead of at the start of the first series?
Point is, if the content is good, people will watch. If people can tune into the upteenth Aizen battle and reliving the Chunin exams, I've no doubt the Davy Back Fight will be captivating on its own merits. If people become interested enough to backtrack, all the better.
And I'm sure using Funimation.com had nothing to do with wanting people to catch up on more than just One Piece. Because, after all, there's nothing else worth watching, right?
