“One Piece” is one of the most followed and celebrated works of fiction worldwide. And it’s not without reason. Eiichiro Oda’s manga has been in publication for 26 years now, and throughout this time, its quality has never wavered. That’s why, even as its conclusion comes into sight and many people want to catch up now—which still means it will be another two or three years until it concludes—it’s normal for everything related to “One Piece” to generate excitement. Even things that historically tend to go awry, like Netflix’s live-action adaptations of anime.
Aware of this, Netflix has decided to do something significant for the launch of “One Piece.” They have chosen to organize 10 events across the world where fans of the franchise can gather and exclusively watch the first episode of the series before anyone else. Well, at least as long as they can travel to the ten selected locations.
The first and most important of all will be in Los Angeles on Thursday, August 24th. There, at Santa Monica Pier, fans can have private access to park attractions, gifts, and, of course, attend the premiere of the first episode of the live-action series. For the other nine events, we’ll have to wait a little longer, as they will take place between August 29th and 31st. Among these, the most relevant for us are the Paris event on August 29th and the Mexico City event on August 31st, coinciding with the One Piece: Mexico Fan Fest.
Spanish fans will either need to travel to one of the confirmed cities—Paris on August 29th or Milan on August 30th—or wait just a bit longer, as the first episode premieres on Thursday, August 31st. So, if you’re fortunate enough to be in one of those cities during these previews, make the most of it. And if not, you can always take comfort in the fact that you’ll have to wait, at most, just one more week to watch that first episode.
