Served up as the 10th film in the long-running series of One Piece movies, the boldly titled Strong World is coming to Japanese theaters on December 12th. This one is a little more special than normal, however, as series creator/mangaka Eiichiro Oda is overseeing production …Read more »
Filler, thy name is disc one of One Piece season two. So begins a few paragraphs of grand disparagement then, right? Maybe if we were talking about a lesser series, but One Piece even manages to make the additives taste fairly fresh, and the filler …Read more »
It's as if my grousing about Viz's somewhat sluggish release schedule for the One Piece graphic novels was finally read by the right person. Actually, it's even better; this means more people are following the manga than I thought, and Viz is giving it the …Read more »
It seems like just yesterday that I was here writing about FUNi's announcement of their One Piece episode 403 simulcast, but this follow-up of sorts has me in a much more sour mood. Turns out that some rapscallion(s) ruined it for everyone else by getting …Read more »

It's hard to believe that the anime adaptation of Eichiro Oda's One Piece is nearing the decade mark, but it's true. The manga celebrated this same milestone in style in 2007 (who doesn't want to soak in a One Piece -themed attraction at Univeral?), and …Read more »
Luffy and his crew make their way across the desert to Rainbase, where they plan to confront Crocodile and end what (were I a hard-hitting journalist in Eichiro Oda's fictional world) I would certainly dub "The Disasta in Alabasta." Meanwhile, thanks to some especially vile …Read more »
Eichiro Oda is completely relentless. As volume after volume of One Piece is released, I keep telling myself that he's hit the peak of the story; the summit of insane, gum-gum action and over-the-top scenarios. However, staying true to inspirational artists like Akira Toriyama, Oda …Read more »
