1000 episodes for the win for One Piece!
Funimation and Toei are teaming up for One Piece’s 1000th episode. One Piece is one of the longest-running animes on Tv and it’s been around for 22 years. It will be completing its 1000th episode in a month. One Piece is a Japanese manga series that started airing in 1997. We were introduced to the characters such as Captain Monkey D Luffy and his Straw Hat pirate crew. And now it’s been 22 years that they have been on their sea voyage and their adventures still continue. Ever since then, people have grown loving and have become passionate viewers of the series.
In a month, the Crew will reach to its The Thousand Sunny on 20th November 2021. It will air on Funimation in USA and Canada, Wakanim in Germany and Russia, and on different broadcasting in New Zealand and Australia. Luffy has been on an adventure for a very long time.
