This weekend at Anime Expo, One Piece fans learned that the Japanese version of the upcoming live-action Netflix series will be dubbed by the anime’s original Japanese voice actors. Today, there’s even more One Piece dub news: the English dub of the anime will soon be arriving on Crunchyroll.
And by “soon,” we mean July 5; according to Crunchyroll, which debuted the 1,000th English-dubbed episode of One Piece at Anime Expo—yes, that is three zeroes—you’ll be able to find the Toei Animation fan-favorite dubbed in English on Wednesday of this week. It will “be rolled out in scheduled batches in the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.”
Here are more details from a Crunchyroll press release: “English dub fans will be able to join Monkey D. Luffy and his crew’s adventures following the Straw Hat Pirates’ story up through the legendary Wano Country story arc. One Piece Episodes 1-964 of the English dub will arrive on Crunchyroll on July 5 along with English dub episodes 965-976 from Season 14 Voyage 7, which will stream for the very first time. New episodes of the English dub will release regularly on Crunchyroll moving forward as they are produced.”
That last bit is key for English dub fans keeping up with the beloved series, which is based on the screamingly popular manga by Eiichiro Oda, and which was first broadcast in Japan in 1999. (Crunchyroll already has subtitled versions available.)
The cast for the English dub is as follows:
- Monkey D. Luffy voiced by Colleen Clinkenbeard Carroll
