One Piece News -News Coo Online- (3/28)
-
-
This is starting at the top of the hour for those who want a reminder.
-
-
I was not expecting it to be fully in English. I just assumed it would be subbed.
-
New episodes streaming on Netflix on May 22
-
If the live action "news" is much to go on, I don't think this is going to amount to much. They're talking about the new castings which we've known for weeks.
edit: Spoke too soon. they're announcing the name of a casting. I'm assuming Shanks.
! It's Shanks and the actor is: Peter Gadiot
He definitely can pull it off as far as looks. -
Oh boy it's time for Shanks.
-
Really appreciate that there's a full English version. Was about to go to bed before I realised there was another video open.
The need to sync the timing of the actor reveal between the English and Japanese versions sure made for some awkward pauses. I hope they rethink that if they keep making these.
-
Peter Gadiot has been cast as Shanks.
-
Yeah, I think he can pull off a Shanks look.
I saw him in Yellowjackets recently (like a lot of people in the youtube chat apparently) and while it wasn't the most Shanks-y role, he definitely did well.
(Also Yellowjackets is great and absolutely deserves more attention)
-
They just debuted the colored version of the titular character.
-
Now that's a design we've not seen in One Piece before.
-
She's definitely got a unique look. Interesting how the oversized hoodie hides her wings - I'm guessing there's a good reason to keep them covered up.
–- Update From New Post Merge ---
The poster with the character, for those not watching the stream:

New Movie character:
!
Ninja'd!
-
New game One Piece Odyssey being shown off now. Visually it looks pretty nice, but I'm not a huge fan of the crew going back to their Fishman Island outfits again. I wish they got cool original ones for these kinds of projects like they do the movies.
Bold of them to show off the Five Elders in the trailer like they're going to be allowed to do anything in a game. Equally bold to go up against Mario in the Odyssey games department.
-
It looks like at least the other strawhats are (semi-) playable in this?
-
I wonder, doesn’t Oda get tired of the time skip outfits? They are also used for the kumamoto statues.
-
Love seeing so many monster and animal designs from the man himself. I could totally see him doing more of this kind of design work, Toriyama-style, after the manga finishes.
Was the last One Piece JRPG Romance Dawn on the DS? I hope this one plays better than that at least.
Did anyone catch what consoles it's going to be on, or did they just not say?
-
-
So that is why Pokemon Home doesn't get updated, ILCA is making this game? I'm sure it won't be full of bugs at all like BDSP wasn't…not really excited for this, I would prefer a new Warriors game or fighting game, JRPG is my favorite genre, but this doesn't feel promisining because of ILCA, plus its missing Jinbe it seems. Hopefully Im wrong.
-
Yeah this was a bit of a let down if I'm being honest.
And while I'm usually not the gatekeeping of a fandom kind of guy….could they have gotten a woman who actually was into One Piece to do this? Filling the time with her awkwardly talking about loving "Enies Lobby, part of the Sky Island saga full of those sky pirates" and how cool the Strawhat "Brooks" is just felt super cringe with the fake enthusiasm

Gomu Gomu no Goodbye :)

I'm willing to chalk a lot of the awkwardness up to the hosts needing to fill in as much time as the panel on the Japanese stream despite there only being two of them and English not being their first language. Maybe the talent pools that spoke English, were a big OP fan, and had the charisma to carry a stream for an hour really didn't overlap, but even so it's easy to get confused about characters and story events when you're focused on remembering what the translated terms for everything are. Even the guy was calling Arlong a merman instead of a fishman. This isn't like a Nintendo Direct where the company has a full local staff in different languages to cover the streams. It's pretty stunning we got a full English (not even subbed, but actually in English) version at all, and I hope they keep trying with them.
-
It was a good effort, but I wish they were as direct as the Pokemon and Nintendo Directs' videos are. Reacting videos are the worst, and these two seemed so forced in their roles that I couldn't help but skip the video constantly out of cringeness lol
Unfortunately, nothing really exciting came from it but it's ok. The cover was already out by a week; the actor reveal was entertaining a lil' bit, he did a good job in Yellowsjackets (and was super smexy), but I don't know if he can carry Shanks' gravitas (like in Whitebeard's ship or during a talk with the Gorosei); OP Odissey seems…rigid? Unable to showcase recent developments of the story...? Meh; just a single image form Movie Red (I was expecting some kind of teaser) that doesn't even name the new character; and the TCG had some good arts, but we still have nothing on the playstile and all that.
-

Unless her name was revealed to be Red she's not a titular character.
Although to be fair, that's certainly a possibility.
-
Yeah, I don't feel like that needed to be an hour. It felt like when you're trying to fill up an essay with fluff to reach a word count. I do appreciate they made the effort to do an English version though, and it's decent background noise to sum up one piece news if you've been busy or something.

I was watching live and I stopped the stream and just watched it afterwards because of the female presenter, "SKY PIRATES!", "BROOKS!". Everytime I hear about Sky Pirate I remember Skies of Arcadia…
I agree with everyone else that we didn't need this to be so long and so much dead time, just record it like a Direct or find a different format, plus most of the info we already knew.

Good point. Thanks.
