In the United Kingdom and Ireland, the One Piece anime is released on DVD and Blu-ray by Crunchyroll Limited. The series was initially released in 2013 by Manga Entertainment, which was acquired by Sony Pictures Television and Funimation in May 2019; subsequently, Manga was rebranded as Funimation in April 2021 and then Crunchyroll in July 2022.[1][2][3]

As of 2022, Crunchyroll has released the first 719 episodes of the TV series and thirteen of the movies on home video.

TV Series[]

The UK release of the One Piece TV series is identical in content to the American equivalents, including the logo and credit alterations. Collections 1-13 use the PAL masters created by Madman,[4] whereas Collection Fourteen onward are identical to the NTSC discs released in America, even referring to the US "Voyage" releases in the menus. The TV series has only been released on DVD in the UK, whereas later North American releases were bundled with Blu-ray discs.

The 'In The Booth with Brina Palencia' special feature, which was advertised but not included with the US release of Season Five: Voyage Four, is included in Collection Thirteen. The Marathon Mode option is missing from the first thirteen collections. Otherwise, the extras from the US DVDs are carried over to the British versions.

Movies[]

The movies previously released in America contain the English dub and original Japanese versions, whereas the others contain only Japanese audio. The subtitle track for movie 2 and the modified on-screen title of movie 8 use different titles to those on the packaging and menus.[16][17]

The movie packs use locally produced masters which predate Sony's acquisition of Manga Entertainment, resulting in translated names and terminology which are inconsistent with the TV series and American releases.[18] This also applies to Movie 8, which does not use the pre-existing Funimation translation.

Reception[]

With Britian's first release of the series, several reviewers noted the high fan demand for an uncut DVD version following its American release six years earlier and the relative value of starting with the Collection sets.[29][30][31] Like the American releases, the uncut version and Funimation dub were considered a more effective approach to the series than 4Kids' edited version as aired on TV.[29][32] Some reviews criticized the earlier DVDs' video quality for including noticeable compression artifacts such as macroblocking, although these problems were noted to be less apparent in later volumes, particularly once the DVDs started using HD masters.[29][33][34]

While the release of movies not licensed in America was appreciated, the Movie Collection DVDs themselves were considered disappointing. The first Movie Collection was criticized for having poor video and audio quality, as well as translations that were not consistent with either the TV series DVDs or the other movie releases;[35][36] several errors on the box for this release, incorrectly advertising an English dub, 5.1 audio and the short Dream Soccer King, were also noted.[37] The video quality of the other two Movie Collections was much more positively received, but the films still contained a "disappointing" stereo soundtrack with "music and sound effects overpowering dialogue to the point of burying it completely"[38][39] and subtitles with grammatical and translation errors.[40] The audio and translation issues were carried over to the Blu-ray release of Movie 8,[41] but did not affect movies 10 and 12.[42]

Theatrical[]

Strong World was screened at BFI Southbank on May 16, 2014,[43] and One Piece: Stampede was released theactrically on February 2, 2020, in subtitled and dubbed formats.[44]
