One Piece Day Sails On with Netflix Series Trailer, Preview Images
Here's the official trailer for Netflix, Tomorrow Studios & publisher Shueisha's live-action series take on author Eiichiro Oda's One Piece.
The last time we checked in on how things were going with Netflix, Tomorrow Studios (Netflix's Cowboy Bebop, TNT's Snowpiercer) & publisher Shueisha's live-action series take on author Eiichiro Oda's manga One Piece, we had a chance to check out Monkey D. Luffy's real-life counterpart Iñaki Godoy meeting Mayumi Tanaka, the original anime voice of Luffy, for the first time. And that's where we learned that Tanaka was joining the rest of the original Japanese voice actors (including Kazuya Nakai as Roronoa Zoro, Akemi Okamura as Nami, Kappei Yamaguchi as Usopp, and Hiroaki Hirata as Sanji) to officially dub the live-action series. But now, in honor of the day back in 1997 when the phenomenon began, Netflix has released an official trailer and new preview images to celebrate "One Piece Day."
Here's a look at the official trailer for Netflix's One Piece, with the streaming series adaptation setting sail on August 31st – and following that, we have a look back at the previously-released teaser trailer and additional information on the streaming series adaptation:
