We are proud to announce that “The One Piece Podcast Goes to Japan” will premiere around the world on October 3, 2014 at OPPJapan.com. This documentary revolves around the One Piece phenomenon in Japan and includes interviews with those closest to the series. The film was funded in part thanks to a successful Kickstarter effort back in the summer of 2013. Over the following year we filmed, produced, and edited this movie, and we are thrilled that you all will finally be able to see it.

Kickstarter supporters will be able to see additional clips as per their rewards in the coming months. We appreciate everyone’s patience as only three of us did the bulk of the work filming, producing, editing and working on the various hurdles involved in the post-production effort.

We want to extend a huge thanks to Shueisha and the good people at Shonen Jump, FUNimation Entertainment, and VIZ Media for all their help. Clips and trailers of the movie will be available on FUNimation’s YouTube page through the coming weeks, and we hope to bring this movie to more websites and platforms in the coming months.

The website “OPPJapan.com” will be online in a few days with trailers and additional content.
