That's great! I can finally watch One Piece where I watch HxH2011.

I wonder if they're gonna use the Hands Up OP, or if the show is even going to be in HD? Guess I'll have to wait and see when the first episode shows.

This is certainly huge news, and CR streaming One Piece to Latin America where it is bigger than Naruto or Bleach is something epic.

When they do add the first episodes, I'll start watching this.

The sad truth is it might end when the guy making it croaks.

Evidently cranking out one piece at the speed he is, is not good for ones health.

If it's higher quality than what's on Hulu I'm all for it.

This is a great pickup for CR. I still intend to buy the Funi sets at some point as my entree into the franchise, but this should bring CR some new subscribers/eyeballs.

This is surprising to me given how Funi seems to have a stick up their ass about CR. Guess they're finally willing to admit that it's not a piracy site anymore... or the JP-side literally dragged them kicking and screaming into this.

Good for CR. With Bleach dead and Naruto probably ending in 2-3 years, they needed another big "this will run a minimum of 300 episodes" shonen show.

Hopefully it will be given that Funimation goes out of there way to make sure their Hulu content just barely barely passes into watchable.

Well Ok then. I personally just keep up with the manga but this is good news nonetheless.

This was surprising. I thought the final box might of been Pupa or something. Nice to see One Piece on CR though.

Seemed like it was bound to happen eventually. I remember when Naruto landed on CR everyone was surprised they were able to wrestle it away from Viz, now we're seeing the same thing from FUNi. Trying to watch old episodes on OnePieceOfficial.com is a pain since FUNi likes to cycle episodes in an out. It'll be nice having them in Crunchyroll's library.

Speaking of Viz, they also stream One Piece, though it's just FUNi's Hulu stream.
