I have been watching the stream with Scott since the beginning as much as I can and it has been an awesome experience. All of the wonderful talented people that showed up were funny, entertaining, and I want to meet them some day. Seeing someone else get hooked to One Piece is awesome and gives me hope that this series will grow much more than it has. Scott wasn't the only new fan either. I participated in the chat and seen many people saying how they are now fans of One Piece because of the stream. I give my sincere thanks to Funimation for making One Piece what it is today and hope it grows even more.
About Toonami, everyone who considers themselves a fan of One Piece should be on twitter when One Piece airs and help make it the biggest premiere Toonami has ever had, it shouldn't matter if you dislike the dub or not. This baby needs to trend hard tomorrow on Twitter.
24 hours until One Piece premieres.
It's not going to premiere. The announcement was just a dream we were all having at the same time.
Go home Maron, you're drunk.

If it's a dream, I don't want to wake up. Ever.
13 Hours until the premiere. Get your asses ready.

At this time, it is 6:10 PM EST, which means 6 hours and 50 minutes remain until the premiere.

As long as it's One Piece, it all good! 7 hours to go. So pumped for this! :D
Great, thanks a lot :)
I really want to support one piece coming back on television, but I don't have access to american channels.
If i watch it by streaming, will that count as a viewer? cause i assume success for a show is measured by the amount of viewers..
Unless its an official streaming it won't and this isn't an official streaming.. So nop.

I think tweeting counts towards the ratings now. Watching it via stream won't count at all though.
The heck! Tweeting counts?! Can you give me the hash tag (Or however its called) I havent use tweeter in ages but I am so gonna spam my 11 or so (probably all fake) followers
Im gonna twit too.
Also, something interesting to note, the animation website Toonzone's traffic has been so inmense its impossible to enter it now. Maybe that's due to One Piece… I also wonder what would happen if new fans came by the truckload to APF...
that's amazing that its overloaded!!!
i want as many people as possible to spam this on twitter then, and watch it!!
we must make one piece the most popular show in north america, just like it is in japan

oh ya, and what do we have to do on twitter to make it succeed?
Post #OnePiece
That's all.
really?
how will that count towards a view? :o
Do not question the power of the Twitter trend; it will lead only to tears.
If you don't have a twitter, sign up and tweet #OnePiece as much as possible (but not too much).
Every tweet counts.
I posted a talback thread for 207:http://apforums.net/showthread.php?t=39034
If the thread doesn't get enough posts, I may try it for one more week, than will stop if no one is really posting. This is the age of Twitter after all.

I think I can explain it…
See. Nielsen Ratings only count a tiny fraction of the actual viewers a show is whatching. Lets say... How I Met Your Mother.
Nielsen Ratings say HIMYM only had 10 million viewers, but with twitter you can count who was talking about it and thus "watched it so to speak", thus it turns out 12 million people watched HIMYM...or at least talked about it.
Sure its got flaws but its better than just counting a tiny fraction of viewers.
I was mostly being facetious, but I'm glad for the explanation.
Has twitter rating occurred yet? I know they said they were gonna do it, but I didn't know when.
I dont know but STILL TWIT THE FUCK OUT OF ONE PIECE….plz!
Did anyone just see the Toonami promo just now? Holy crap One Piece looks beautiful.
Tweeting doesn't count for ratings. Yet. This fall however there will be reports for the amount of tweets to networks to show on top of Nielson ratings who is watching. However, a trend on Twitter shows it's popular. So get it trending.
Unfortunately my boss decided a few months ago I shouldn't be watching Toonami so I'll be missing out. I do have my DVR though.
One hour to go you crazy shits.
LONG LIVE ONE PIECEEEE
Aaaaaaaaaaaaand… Showtime!
Aw, they cut the opening….
So when do we know the ratings? I soooo want to know the ratings! It should have done ok since it was Trending topic, no?
Haha, yeah, they butchered that intro. Sucks cause it's one of the best ones.

The ratings cannot be known until Monday or Wednesday.
Ok, thanks RollingStone.. Then its just about playing the waiting game.
Just got home, recorded HD east coast feed. Going to watch that. Then going to watch west coast feed live.
Who knew I would be so excited to see One Piece with Commercials. This is going to rock!!!
This would have been a much better intro edit.
Man, seeing OP on TV was so surreal after years of just streaming/dvds. It just felt "right," and I felt the same way I did watching the Funi dub on TV tonight as I did watching the Skypiea eps on Toonami all those years ago, almost like the show was never off the air. It was actually a pretty balanced episode too with a bit of action, lots of adventure, good crew interactions that showed first-time audiences the character's personalities, comedic elements, and great pacing, with alot packed in. Hope it did well in the ratings, and it's great to hear that it's trending; sounds like we're off to a good start.
Welcome back One Piece.
Just posting these so we can relive the moment. :D

Damn. Only 5,000 away from 1 mil.
The biggest surprise that One Piece beat Bleach and Naruto. :D That's better than I expected
Hopefully the first 2 hours will hit 1 million views next week but damn. IGPX is killing the ratings in a bad way. I will always wonder why Toonami just didnt make a copy cat DBZ show for IGPX but I can only give them props for making IGPx that "original" as a racing/fighting show.
Mighty fine good start. Just like anything, though, the real race begins with the 2nd ranking.
This… was a horrible week. Bleach and Naruto normally get over a million, but this has just been a downward spiral. Did SNL really affect ratings this much? My bob.
However, in One Piece's defense, it was the closest to breaking a million which is impressive for any premiere, especially if Saturday Night Live did cause the ratings to lower.
On the plus, we had some good consistency for the first four shows this week. While the ratings were abnormally lower, they were consistent, and Soul Eater getting +900,000 at that time period is actually a biig surprise. Most Toonami shows start dipping to the 700,000s at that time.
Poor IGPX though, why did it drop so sharply especially when Eureka 7 climbed higher than it.
What we have to hope for is a Memorial Weekend boost.
If anything it'll do the opposite of boost on Memorial Day weekend
