The journey to find the "One Piece" continues on Crunchyroll with English dubbing.
That's right - the English dub of "One Piece" will be coming to Crunchyroll in early July, allowing fans who want to watch the much-beloved anime without reading subtitles on the popular anime-streaming platform.
"One Piece" is one of the longest-lived anime in the industry - Toei Animation released the anime's first episode in 1999, making the series almost 30 years old.
One Piece English Dub Release Details
Crunchyroll mentioned in its announcement it is debuting 1,000 English-dubbed episodes of "One Piece" on July 5 and that those in select countries can watch them come Wednesday, per Gizmodo citing a press release from Crunchyroll. These countries are the United States, Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa.
These one thousand episodes span from the start up until the legendary Wano Country story arc - 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.
The following voice actors will also lend their talent to bring "One Piece's" characters to life in full English:

It's unknown when Crunchyroll will expand its list of countries that can get to watch 1,000 episodes of "One Piece" on their platform, but what is known is that the streaming platform will release new "One Piece" episodes regularly moving forward as they are produced.
As such, those who can finish the 1,000 episodes Crunchyroll made available can look forward to watching more recent "One Piece" episodes when they're done.
Interestingly, "One Piece's" English dub comes months before Netflix releases the live-action adaptation of the much-beloved anime, which fans can watch on Aug. 31; the original Japanese cast will also dub over the Netflix series, allowing fans to immerse themselves better in the series.
