Re: Toonami - ONE PIECE ON LINEUP!

I think you guys are missing the point. It's not exciting because we get to see old episodes on t.v. once a week. It's exciting because it'll expose new people to the series, which should help to boost its popularity in the states.

That's under the pretense that anyone is watching Toonami but old fans who are nostalgic about the block. I sincerely doubt the audience includes many other people.

I'm trying my best not to sound negative but I don't think putting One Piece on the block is going to garner too many new fans given the circumstances. If it's trying to cater to a new generation (which it probably should try to do in order to succeed), I think the block would benefit a lot more from getting fresher, newer content.

Re: Toonami - ONE PIECE ON LINEUP!

One Piece gaining more popularity in the states would mean higher chances of One Piece games being localized. That's good enough for me.

Yeah you guys really underplay the early One Piece arcs. Because for me, it's amazing from beginning to end. Granted, I never watched the anime.


I was hooked on One Piece from episode 1. I do love earlier arcs but I'm thinking of the average viewer when I say it might take longer to catch on than most of them have the attention span for.

Re: Toonami - ONE PIECE ON LINEUP!

Ah, nostalgia night. The beginning of NGE was always a more memorable experience for me so 1.11 was a lot of fun to watch. And then hearing Beautiful World on my tv at the end was the cherry on top. And Kaworu. 8D

Re: Toonami - ONE PIECE ON LINEUP!

This will be very good if a bunch of people watch it, but its so far behind I'll probably pass. Hopefully we'll be seeing some new One Piece merchandise though, like t-shirts or something. I know Strong World was announced to be on dvd and blu ray in the states now, which has me psyched

An odd place to start for sure. I don't know if that's exactly where it left off when it was on tv or not, but I would have chosen a different spot

I may actually watch all the way through it now. I didn't like it before, but I guess I can sit through it every saturday.

Re: Toonami - ONE PIECE ON LINEUP!

I heard its kind of like an mmorpg anime. I'm excited to see it, because, I've been recommended to watch it or read the manga before. I liked .hack//roots. So, I can definitely sit through something like this.

It's kinda like .hack in that people get trapped in a game if I remember correctly.
