OH MY ODA!
Whatever this is, it's going to be HUGE! :D

Not getting my hopes up, been disappointed every time
The countdown has to have some sort of significance. Just announcing them as the "Official One Piece Podcast" would be great for the team, but why do a countdown?
There has to be more. And it is related to One Piece.
Even if it had FUNimation's support (which it already has,) it still wouldn't be THE Official One Piece Podcast unless it had the recognition of Shueisha and Eiichiro Oda himself. I'm thinking it could be one of several things:
Well, since pretty much the last 3 are practically impossible, I'm going with number 1.
Yeah, I'm assuming they're announcing an acquisition of new episodes. Can't wait. Hopefully a tentative release date for the first batch will come with the news. But I shouldn't hope for THAT much.
I just kinda wish they'd come out and say "It's NOT Season 4 guys" if it wasn't…
Otherwise some of us might get our hopes up too high.
Oh, so that's why they are having a special friday episode.
The podcast I mean
The countdown could be for Halloween ( and the podcast episode)… But the curious thing is why Funi posted about it. It sounded a bit sneaky to me as if they knew something...
It's FUNi Posting about it that has people kinda jittery.
If the OPP crew had just said "Hey guys, we're counting down to something" without that, then most would assume it was some neat surprise podcast thing like "SURPRISE! WE GOT AN INTERVIEW WITH ALL 8 STRAW HAT VAS IN ONE ROUNDTABLE!" or something equally awesome, yet non-earth shattering like that.
It's FUNi's involvement that has me thinking this COULD be an actual announcement. FUNi clearly knows how popular the OPP is, I could EASILY See them dropping the news there.
Funimation along with the OPP guys have solved the riddle of the ages and foretold Doomsday will occur three days from now…. WE'RE ALL DOOMED !!!!
OMFG! Please please please please please please please please Please please please please please please please please Please please please please please please please please Please please please please please please please pleasePlease please please please please please please please Please please please please please please please please Please please please please please please please please be season 4!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I thought we were all going to keep our expectations low.
You know…..in case it's NOT an actual season 4 announcement.
@Badass:
I don't understand. What did Funi post to their facebook? All I see is an ad for Trigun, and talk about downloading other shows.
EDIT: Ohh I see it. Intedezting.
I don't see it either. What am I missing?

I'm sure they're enjoying this.
Yeah, still not getting my hopes up. Every chance so far has been wrong so why would we finally get it now?
We SHOULD get it eventually…but only out of the blue one day. With no announcements or anything.
I think Rin has the right idea. If it was just the podcast, I wouldn't think much of it, but given that it appears to be a joint operation, leaves me (and many others, too, it would seem) that it could be something more.
And while I don't know what the possibility of this is, but has anyone considered a possible broadcast announcement? Nicktoons is nearing the end of DBZ Kai…this could be a potential replacement...
This cockteasing is just as annoying as when the OPP learned of Freeza's recast in Kai and couldn't stop talking about how AMAZING the upcoming announcement was.

Please dont say stuff like that. My heart cannot handle the dissapointment….
It's exciting if anything. I need this fanservice after over 6 months of OP silence. This makes for a more enjoyable announcement than some boring ole con announcement.
Hope you guys had fun signing those NDAs, Zach and friends!
Yep, FUNimation is giving a play-by-play of the countdown on their Facebook. They have a hand in whatever it is.
Best case scenario:
Moderate Case Scenario:
At least 1-3
Worse Case Scenario:
Nothing.
Even the Twitters~!!
Must contain excitement. I had too many cons pass me by to get over hyped again…
If nothing else says it, this thread over the last day really shows some of us are in some major withdrawal…
So, that countdown isn't simply for their top 5 podcasts thing on the same day? Or is that confirmed to be a separate matter?

Again we thought the same thing. I payed no attention to it because I just thought, it will be a count down to the top 5 podcast episodes. But since Funimation is getting in on it with their official pages, it has to be something bigger. Not that big though. I'm on the expect less express. The rest of you can get on the hype train. Even though its always more fun even if it doesn't always reach its destination.

But the hype train has a mini-bar, and leg room in coach.
In all seriousness though, if this were something FUNimation was not involved with, they would have mentioned the countdown yesterday and that would have been it. However, they mentioned it again today, and they'll probably mention it again tomorrow, Thursday and Friday. The leads me to believe the news has something to do with the both of them, and I think it means something has been licensed for either DVD or broadcast (or both.)
Also, it might be nothing but I haven't seen Zach or Firecrouch on this thread at all since the countdown went up.
This should be interesting whatever the news is going to be.
Well, to be the Offical podcast, they'd have to get approval from Funimation, which would make Funimation a part of it & throwing some things on their Facebook page is easy & doesn't really cost them anything, so I'm doubting that it's a licence announcement. If it is, then I get to be surprised, when it isn't, I'm not bummed out.

To be the official podcast, they'd need more than Funimation's permission.
I hate this….this waiting...
I am really tying my best not to get my hopes up, but it is hard too so much.. I just thought about it but Rojas, the guy who runs their twitter is good friends with the podcast. maybe he is just helping them promote their site event?
I'm telling you Tatum is gonna give birth live on the podcast.
The announcement is that everything you've ever wished for regarding One Piece in America will come true. That would warrant a countdown.
@Yuugi's:
Hope you guys had fun signing those NDAs, Zach and friends!
I wanna sign an NDA… :cwy:
I wonder if Firecrouch is involved in this, also.
Because he hasn't posted in this thread in the last couple of days.
Which is highly unusual.
I really don't know what to say.
They didn't do too much hyping of the next episode on the last podcast episode to begin with. I could be wrong, but I just remember Zach mentioning at the end "Oh, and by the way our next podcast episode will be a few days early on Friday". You'd think they would have been hyping it up a bit more.
The countdown came out of the middle of nowhere, and now that FUNimation is involved it is interesting. They've been really quiet about it whatever it is. It's just weird only a casual mention of the episode being early on the podcast but afterward "COUNTDOWN!!" …Huh? lol

He's gotta be. I've been thinking about that too and I don't think his absence is a coincidence.
It's all a conspiracy I tell you. A CONSPIRACY!
They must be laughing at us right now, reading this exact thread.
This better be an announcement regarding ANYTHING of the One Piece anime or else I will hate them… >.>

muahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
This will be the biggest troll of 2011 for the One Piece fandom if it isn't season 4.
Er….you guys might want to calm a bit down. I'm hoping it's season 4 or a tv broadcast or both, but I wouldn't get too hyped that it is.
It's still a huge troll if it's not that…
FUNi being involved has kinda elevated everyone's hopes higher than they would have been.
I'm just hoping for Strong World. I don't want to crush my hopes by wishing for season 4.

Just according to Keikaku
