On this episode of The One Piece Podcast we have no Manga Recap and we have no Anime Recap. So, instead, we decided to do something special. We invited J.

We round off with calls to the One Piece Podcast crew and a lot of interesting and thought-proving mathematics with our Piece Together segment. Next week we return, live from Otakon, with a Manga and Anime Recap and a lot of special treats. At Otakon? Join us for pizza, One Piece, and prizes! RSVP here. 0:00:00 J.

On today's episode of the Unofficial One Piece Podcast, we have Ed, Jason, Jammer, Dominic, Ichnob, and Kate on to discuss the One Piece goodness for the week.  Jason takes us through the latest news (most of which has to do with the series absolutely destroying in manga sales), and afterward, we delve into chapter 624 of the manga, "Queen Otohime." Ichnob leads us through the latest line of figures, and then the podcast reveals its number three pick for our Top Five Simulcasts.  After a quick recap of filler episode 498 of the anime, we piece it all together and close out. On behalf of Podcast West, I'd like to thank all the listeners out there for all the support and input during the past month during Zach and Co.'s hiatus.  Dominic, Ichnob, Firecrouch, Kate, and myself all had a fantastic time, and hope you did as well. And in one last shameless plug I'd like to invite you to join Dominic and I at the AniManga Podcast and check out all the goodness we have to offer there. It's been good fun, and we hope to hear from you all soon!

On this episode of the One Piece Podcast we cleanse the palette from last weeks massive audio cornucopia with a smaller, more delicate offering. In the news segment Jason tells us exactly what kind of person steals 57 volumes of One Piece and Diana explains why color pages may not appear in mobile apps. We then rundown the latest intrigue and betrayal from the One Piece comic in our Manga Recap for Chapter 623. Anime comes next, as we debut our #4 simulcasted episode and discuss the latest action (or inaction) of the One Piece anime. Finally we answer your questions in the Piece Together and then the show ends, but fear not, for we shall be back again next week. 00:00:00 - Intro 00:03:08 - News with the Sack 00:12:29 - Manga Recap Chapter 623 00:43:03 - Top Five Simulcast Episodes (#4) 00:47:37 - Anime Recap Episodes 496/497 00:56:46 - Piece Together 01:03:47 - Good Bye!

To say that episode 165 is a busy one would be an understatement.  Despite Zach's absence, we cover an amazing amount of informative and entertaining material.  First, Jason reports us the latest news in the One Piece world.  We dive into the latest volume release in Japan (volume 62).  Then Jason walks us through his experiences at Anime Boston last weekend, and what it was like hosting two panels all by his lonesome.  Greg and Steve relay the last half of Oda's Strong World interview in style before we head into the meat of the episode: Greg's trip to the One Piece Dome Tour, where he walks us through his entire adventure.  We then introduce a new ongoing Top 5...favorite simulcast episodes, and present to you our number 5 pick.  We top it all off with a short but sweet Piece Together, and then close out for the episode. I highly recommend the AAC feed for this episode.  It will be easiest to follow along with as you go.  However, if you find yourselves unable to do so, you can always follow along with Greg's trip in the FACEBOOK GALLERY.  Also, to view Greg's Thousand Sunny video that he took while at Dome Tour, go HERE.
