You may have noticed that we had no episode this week. You are correct, we’re making a rare move and taking the week off because of a long weekend at Otakon. We’ll be back next week with a double episode, and it’s going to be vicious:

Shark and Awe (Part One) - Sunday, August 7th
We start our Shark Weekend with a mini-interview from Scott Sager, one of One Piece’s ADR Directors, who joined us at Otakon to talk some One Piece (and a little Hetalia). Then we herald Greg’s return in a Greg no Gougai segment and what’s likely to be a mega-Manga Recap for Chapter 633, “Friend or Foe?” We also have an Anime Recap of Episode 508 to whet your whistle. Expect a lot of Otakon talk, but we’re going to try and save some of it for the next episode…

Shark and Awe (Part Two) – Monday, August 8th
A day later we will bring another podcast with a Manga Recap for Chapter 634, an Anime Recap of Episode 509, a look back at Otakon, and a discussion about the Toriko Podcast with Firecrouch, which premieres on the same day. We also celebrate Shark Weekend with a look back at The Arlong Arc for fans who are not quite caught up. Why is this the arc people look to to “get into One Piece”? We’re also working on getting some other guests, and we’ll update this page if any of them respond and are available to come on.

Hope that quenches your One Piece Podcast thirst! We’ll see you guys then!
