I doubt they will announce any VA's either, though it sure would be nice. They might announce the voice cast on their blog upon the release of Season 7, Voyage 1 sort of how they did it before the release of Season 6 - Voyage 1. The announcement for Season 7 in the next One Piece Podcast is a given considering that is pretty much what Josh said, though it would be also nice if there was a secret licensing announcement made in the next OPP, like more movies or an extra season. That would be truly awesome news.

Out of all the characters in the next arc I want to hear Rayleigh the most. The manliest man in One Piece.
I hope we at least get some of the war plot line though. That was probably One Piece at it's best.

i thought film Z was the latest canon One Piece movie, i wasn't aware of any other one than that

Film Z is not cannon. STRONG WORLD IS. ODA WROTE IT.

Film Z is not cannon. STRONG WORLD IS. ODA WROTE IT.
I thought Oda was involved with Film Z as well? However, neither movie is canon to the overall storyline. Just fun little extras.
-
Yeah, Oda was Executive Producer of Film Z. However as you pointed out neither have any place in the world of the series.
-
Film Z is not cannon. STRONG WORLD IS. ODA WROTE IT.
Only the prologue for Strong World is canon. The movie is non-canon.

it can fit into the manga.
i like them to go on an adventure with brook before the new world.

Fit where exactly?

right after thriller bark.

How is Zoro still able to run around and fight efficiently after his devastating injuries at Thriller Bark which were still causing him major trouble through the entire rest of the pre-timeskip portion of the series?
How was the battle against the Flying Fish Riders Brook's first fight as a member of the Straw Hats if Strong World happened in the manga timeline?
How is it that Sengoku saw fit to bring up Shiki in the same scene where he was talking about all of Luffy's outrageous accomplishments, without mentioning the fact that, oh yeah, Luffy totally beat him in battle and foiled his plans the other day?…Just the first things that come to mind to show how Strong World does not, in fact, fit into the canon. At the moment, Film Z actually fits in better, the only problem being that one has to assume that the fiery seas the Straw Hats popped out of once they entered the New World were just a random New World ocean-phenomenon and not a sign that they emerged right next to Punk Hazard… And even that's only an issue in the manga. I mean sure, I'm pretty sure Oda flat-out stated that the new Navy HQ seen in Film Z would not be the one he'd later use in the manga, and I'm assuming the Straw Hats will eventually run into Aokiji and be just as shocked as they were in the movie (because the movie's meeting canonically never happened) but right now… it's far less of a stretch to say that Film Z happened off-page in the manga than saying the same thing about Strong World.

I agree that Strong World isn't canon, but how is Film Z any more canon?
Despite some of the conflicting plot elements you pointed out at least there is a clear point where Strong World could take place in the timeline if it were canon. In chapter 490, before they arrive at the Red Line, there is a montage of different events the Strawhats encountered before arriving at the Red Line and even a text box once they arrive stating a few days have gone by; if Strong World were canon it could easily fit in that time period. Whereas when they enter the New World in chapter 654 they are shot straight up in the air near a sea of fire while chapter 655 starts off with them still in midair and then indicates that only moments after they land in the New World that they get a call from Punk Hazard. There is no indication that a good enough length of time has gone by for the events of Film Z to take place in. Going by the manga timeline it seems impossible for Film Z to take place before Punk Hazard and it can’t take place after since Law and Kinemon are with them after that.
Another thing that should be noted is that the character of Shiki (and Indigo I guess) does exist in the manga. I’m pretty sure Z and his henchmen have only been shown in a color spread and never directly mentioned in the series. Also if Oda did state the Navy HQ was not the one he’d use in the manga (I seem to recall that quote from somewhere) it makes it all the more likely it is non-canon. The only thing Film Z has going for it is the designs/ranks for Marine characters we have not seen again by that point in the timeskip (Aokiji, Coby, Helmeppo…).
Both are non-canon but Strong World seems more likely to be canon from my perspective since Film Z has elements that conflict too much with the manga to be even close to canon, whereas Strong World’s conflicting elements are a bit less significant.

I'm not claiming that "Oh yeah, Film Z totally happened in the manga timeline". No, I don't believe either movie happened in the timeline of the manga. What I'm saying is that Strong World included elements that made it utterly incompatible with the manga's timeline right away, with Zoro's injuries that he should logically have at this point in the story having mysteriously vanished, or the fact that Sengoku (who was clearly informed that Luffy had defeated Shiki in the movie) mentioned just about every noteworthy thing Luffy had done, except defeating Shiki, in the very same scene that established that Shiki exists in the manga. And yeah, Shiki exists in the manga continuity… But the events of Strong World can't possibly have happened in the series the way they were shown in the movie.
Film Z does not contradict anything we've seen so far except the flaming sea, which can be handwaved away by saying "It was just another crazy New World weather phenomenon and not a sign that they emerged that the shores of Punk Hazard". Certainly, in the long run Film Z will be contradicted by the manga, unless Oda were to actually use that Navy HQ and have Luffy actually going "Oh hi Aokiji, remember that whole Z-incident?" when they inevitably meet again in the manga, but right now, Film Z can be placed in the canon less problematically than Strong World does. (And if one is going by the anime's portrayal of the events, there is no contradiction at all at the moment as there was no flaming sea in the anime.) -

(And if one is going by the anime's portrayal of the events, there is no contradiction at all at the moment as there was no flaming sea in the anime.)
Except it contradicts the way the entering of the New World was depicted in the manga. Like I said, in chapter 655 we see them still falling back into the ocean right after they flew upward into the sky from entering the New World. Immediately after we see Sanji mentioning cutting up the meat from the fish they caught in the previous chapter and the very next page they get a call from Punk Hazard. Film Z immediately contradicts the story by suggesting the Strawhats could have had the time to have some form of adventure before going to Punk Hazard when the series of events set forth in the manga make it impossible.
Strong World, on the other hand, has a period of time in which it could take place in without any problems, if it weren't for things like "Zoro seemingly not having his injuries" contradicting the manga. Also I don't think Sengoku not mentioning Luffy beating Shiki is "that big" of a contradiction and Brook mentioning the fight with the Flying Fish Riders being his first fight is a lot more easily handwaved then ignoring the actual sequence of events in the manga. Zoro's vanishing injuries are really the only noteworthy contradiction I think Strong World had.
EDIT: Also I just noticed Navy HQ has been shown in the manga post-timeskip, and it does not look the way it does in Film Z. We don't get to see it in full, but based on it's brief appearance in chapter 700 it does not appear to look exactly the same as it did in the movie.
-
The two Headquarters are nothing alike.
!
-
^^^^Exactly my point. Film Z has no place it could take place in in the manga timeline, no new characters from the movie are confirmed to exist in manga canon, and has a Navy HQ completely different from the manga. Both are non-canon, but Strong World seems less conflicting with manga canon then Film Z.

Tomorrow is the big bews, eh? I'm excited.
Update: Today is the big news, eh? I wonder when they'll put it up.

Probably about 10-20 minutes! Just making some finishing touches. Sorry for the delay, I think you guys will really enjoy it!

Fit where exactly?
In the anime, it would be between Thriller Bark and Sabody, right after the Little East Blue filler.
-
So season 7 goes up to episode 456. Nice!!
Thanks, Zach!
-
Also, interestingly, he mentions the possibility of a broadcast dub for this show happening (though he does mention some of the problems with going that route). Will be interesting to see what might come of that…
-
@Zach:
Here it is!
http://onepiecepodcast.com/2015/02/16/episode-356-it-was-me-diomante/
Such a good podcast this week Zach. Season 7's episode list is pretty much what I expected. Seriously can't believe we've gotten to the point of the episodes that started off the simulcast. Also really liking the talk of broadcast dubs, butt FUNimation would really have to work on their catchup promos for that too work.
-

There's a lot of good things that could come from that. Make sure to send Josh your thoughts on it and hashtag #OPBroadcast. Personally it's something I'd love to see, and I think many here would agree, so make sure to get the word out and let people know!
-
Can you guys please tell me where they start talking about One piece dub information, i dont want to be spoiled by the manga and japanese anime talk
-

Little east blue filler arc is from episode 426 to 429.
Between Thriller Bark and Sabaody is 383-385.

Really excited for Season 7. I can't wait for to hear Law, Apoo, Hancock, Magellan, Ivankov, and Hannyabal.

It's very exciting, and it sounds like Josh has a lot of cool stuff planned!!

Little East Blue, in anime canon, should be considered a "flashback" since this mini-arc takes place several episodes into Impel Down. They put it there so that they could release these episodes right before the movie officially came out.
-
Man I can't wait for Season 7. Glad to see that it is coming out this Summer, and also I can't wait to see that first cover art. As for the broadcast dub, I would love to see that happen and would definitely watch it if it ever does happen.

From what it sounds like, if that's the case, they may not have to!
-
Seems like an odd episode to end the season on, but it makes no difference to me, more OP on the way!
-
I initially thought the season would be up to 458, but I suppose it makes more sense to begin season 8 with the two recap episodes.
-
I hope i heard him right when he said that there will be steady releases from now on because all of these droughts were killing me. If that holds up true then by the end of 2016 we should be reaching the time skip.
-
I REALLY hope they do go along with the One Piece broadcast dub, if they continue to release older episodes while dubbing the new ones, we'll actually catch up in 2-3 years rather than a decade.
-

Lets see… April is voyage 4.... so if summer is the projected release date and we'll be seeing steady releases. We can expect season 7 to start in June.
-
Its just weird imagining One Piece Broadcast dubs lol, that means we will get characters who have yet to make an appearance yet voice real early, i hope they go through with it along with hopefully Fairy Tail

Yep it makes you wonder if they were dubbing lots of episodes this whole time during these droughts
-
Here is my prediction for the Season 7 release.
S7V1: 385 - 396
S7V2: 397 - 408
S7V3: 409 - 420
S7V4: 421 - 432
S7V5: 433 - 444
S7V6: 445 - 456 -
Stoked for Season 7! It seems the prediction of going from Saobody to Impel Down was correct after all.
As for the broadcast dubs, I'm all for it if Josh, Joel, Mike and the rest of the crew are up for the challenge. It would increase my excitement for the anime again.
-
What would be considered a steady release? Once a month?
-
I'm guessing the release of Season 7 will be probably ether June or July. They probably be doing their usual every other month for the release.
-
That's exciting news for the dub! Sounds like they will be picking up the pace, when you say 'broadcast dub' are they actual considering to dub episodes as they air in Japan or…?

Yep, that's what their broadcast dub program is.
-
If it were any other show i'd say go for it, but One Piece is so massive and so involved. I'm not sure if they could honestly keep up. I mean MAYBE they can do it? It would be at least steady work for the actors right? lol
But I don't know, it's just so big.
One could argue why not put forth that effort/time/money/commitment and release more episodes per set to catch up faster?

That's pretty much how I feel about it. I mean it's cool idea, but I don't how they will do it. I mean there are people who just only watching the dvd release and stuff.

I think it could work if they took it slower than the other broadcast dubs with a few months of a breather break in-between seasons.
