Well, it seems now we know when we’ll finally get to see One Piece Film: Red in theaters. Not just in the US and Canada, but also internationally. All courtesy of Crunchyroll and their ability to officially disprove previous announcements on that subject. Don’t believe me? Then watch the new trailer for yourself below:
Course Set! ETA to Theatrical Release…
Crunchyroll is proud to announce the international theatrical release dates for One Piece Film: Red. To start things off: we finally have our NA theatrical release date. This latest One Piece anime film will see a theatrical release in the US and Canada on November 4, 2022. As of this writing, that’s just under 2 months away. So you won’t have that long to wait before you can listen to Uta sing in the actual anime film. In fact, you won’t have long to wait until you can pre-purchase tickets for it. Apparently, tickets for the NA release will go on sale starting on October 6, 2022. With that being less than a month away as of this writing, you can get ready to set sail with your wallets to get those tickets soon.
That’s not all though. We also have international theatrical release dates for One Piece Film: Red. According to Crunchyroll, Australia and New Zealand will get to see it a day earlier on November 3, 2022; with tickets also going on sale a day early on October 5, 2022. It’s still pretty far past the Austrian and German release dates of October 13, 2022; but they’ll finally be able to view the anime film in English along with us in NA.
One Piece Film: Red ~ Details
One Piece Film: Red is the 15th anime film of the One Piece anime film series, which is based on the fantasy adventure (and pirate if that’s a genre) manga of the same name by Eiichiro Oda. Toei Animation (Dragon Ball, Sailor Moon, The Transformers (1984-1990)) is the animation studio behind this anime film, as they have been for all the previous anime films as well as the mainline anime series. Gorō Taniguchi is the director, with Tsutomu Kuroiwa writing the screenplay, and Eiichiro Oda himself as the executive producer, character designer, and script reviewer. Lastly, Crunchyroll is licensing this anime film for its NA release.
As for what One Piece Film: Red is about? Well, Crunchyroll has an official synopsis for this anime film. Check it out below:
“Uta—the most beloved singer in the world whose voice has been described as “otherworldly”—is renowned for concealing her own identity when performing. Now, for the first time ever, she will reveal herself to the world at a live concert.
With the Navy watching closely, the venue fills with Uta’s fans—including excited pirates and the Straw Hats led by Luffy, who simply came to enjoy her sonorous performance—all eagerly awaiting the voice that the whole world has been waiting for to resound. The story begins with the shocking revelation that she is the enigmatic Shanks’ daughter.”
