On this special episode of The One Piece Podcast, we have some very special treats for you: On the first part of the episode, Zach and Ed briefly discuss the Season 5/Strong World announcement. Then, we have a quickie interview with FUNimation Senior Brand Manager Charlene Ingram about the new One Piece announcements, including some questions we got from you guys. We'll be talking with her and the other One Piece brand manager Josh Kocurek at some time in the future as more details are released about these impending releases. A huge thanks to both of them for all their help over the weekend at Otakon and at OPPCon. After that, we have a Manga Recap of Chapter 674 with Zach and Ed. It's a quick chapter and a quick recap, so you may be wondering why this podcast is so long? Well it's time for the rest of our arc-by-arc rankings! We start with Zach and Greg as we go through Greg's picks for his Top 5 openings. Then we go from the Laboon Arc through Punk Hazard as each member of the team ranks each arc of the series. Who's on the team? Well we have The Dude, Jason, Zach, and Firecrouch ranking theirs out, and we have Dennis (Ichnob), Steve, Jammer, and Dominic (Pwngoatjunkie) listing there's out from the sidelines. Thanks to every single person at Otakon, from FUNimation, and to those who attended OPPCon. I know there are many of you who drove down (or up) to Baltimore especially for our convention. It really is an amazing honor, and we sincerely hope you all enjoyed yourself. On top of that, FUNimation was kind enough to buy a new season of One Piece...and maybe even more impressively...Strong World! We spent six episodes recapping this movie back in the day, and it's worth it to see, and to buy. Make sure you and every one of your friends who has or has not seen One Piece buys this next year when it's released. With that, enjoy the show, and please...CELEBRATE!! --Part One-- 0:00:00 Introduction 0:02:30 Interview Time: Charlene Ingram 0:09:44 Manga Recap: Chapter 674 --Part Two-- 0:25:18 The Quindecennial with Greg and Zach 0:35:45 Arc-by-Arc Recap* 2:43:26 To Be Continued *Chapter is not labeled on AAC The episode is available for download BELOW in both AAC (M4A/Advanced) and MP3 (Basic) formats.
