This is truly exciting news for all you anime lovers (ESPECIALLY One Piece) out there! Legendary anime studio Toei Animation is planning to soft launch a new global One Piece English language YouTube channel!

For a home to English-speaking fans around the world and their source for official news, information, and special video content about One Piece, fans can subscribe to the official One Piece English language YouTube channel starting in June.

The new YouTube channel soft launch is timed with the start of a week-long One Piece activation on the Exosphere, the exterior of Sphere in Las Vegas, which takes places June 10-16 for fans to enjoy. It will be the largest ever One Piece display — with the  venue, the largest spherical structure in the world, measuring 366 ft (112 m) tall and 516 ft (157 m) wide. The activation consists of a 90-second-long anime created especially for the Exosphere. The week-long One Piece residency includes a four-hour-long “takeover” on Tuesday, June 11 between 7:00 – 11:00 pm Pacific during which time the One Piece activation will be featured.

Now 25 years since the premiere of the original episodic anime series created by Eiichiro Oda and produced by Toei Animation, One Piece has taken its place as part of mainstream pop culture, attracting fans of all ages. Today, together with its first ever live action series in 2023, the franchise now spans 15 feature films, numerous video games, a trading card game and an ever-expanding catalog of licensed merchandise, including apparel, footwear, accessories, toys & games, sporting goods, gifts & novelties, household goods, food & beverage, location-based entertainment and more.

Based in Los Angeles, Toei Animation Inc. manages the distribution of Toei Animation’s top properties — including franchise series Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, One Piece, Digimon, Saint Seiya, and many others — to North America, Latin America, South Africa, Australia and New Zealand. Toei Animation’s Los Angeles office also oversees all categories of consumer product licensing based on its film and television brands within these territories.
