The Australian release is sub-only. If one prefers an English dub, albeit there is very little dialogue for this movie, it's likely that GKIDS and Alltheanime UK will release it in bilingual format on 4K UHD in some months.

Ob der Shop dauerhaft geschlossen wird oder mit neuem Team wiedereröffnet? Dazu gibt es keine Stellungnahme.

Von einigen Produkten soll es zwar noch riesige Mengen geben - das sind aber vermutlich nicht jene Produkte, die sich auch gut verkaufen lassen...

Aktuell ist Nipponart auf dem Anime Festival Kassel vor Ort.

Im Onlineshop ist aktuell nichts bestellbar, auch auf den Amazon- & eBay-Accs nicht.
Mehrere Anime-Fans berichten aus persönlichen Gesprächen, dass das aktuelle Shop-Team die Firma in Kürze verlässt.

That's why I stated "likely by accident" - however creators actually can turn that off.

iQiyi, chinese streaming service, debuted their first donghua ai dub this spring...

Some japanese companies, likely by accident(?), published ai dubbed trailers on youtube in recent months as well.

Even up to points in which a company just bought old DVDs via ebay to get the video files for the show they licensed.

Or even cases in which a company claims that an old dub just doesn't exist - even if proven otherwise.
November 19, 2025 at 7:53 PM
And don't forget, especially when dealing with older titles, all the cases in which the Japanese side claims they can't help.

Waiting weeks for official artworks, M&E tracks required for dubbing lost, HD-Masters not found (albeit there was a Blu-ray), wrong masters sent,...

It's a common issue in Germany as well - leading to problems when the companies release storage boxes with the last volume later.
One Piece Boxes are way to large, some others won't even fit all volumes, due to different paper types used over time.

I'd assume they were posting it in English, because Japanese fans wouldn't watch such a camrip?
It also seems that it was first uploaded on Bilibili and there is a version circulation that already includes subtitles

Crunchyroll once stated they won't use AI in creative process - but creating CC for dubs might not be "creative".
October 31, 2025 at 11:48 AM
AniMoon Germany is on a similar level, but quite often "cheating" by actually burning the sings directly into the image instead of the subtitle stream
October 31, 2025 at 11:45 AM
Crunchyroll Germany still uses typeset for most series.

For selected titles Crunchyroll uses subtitles provided from external sources, this might include ADN as well for German & French translations of titles that are airing on both services (Dan Da Dan, Witch Watch, Tougen Anki)

And as all active German dub staff agreed to reprise their (main) roles, it seems they are fine with this as well.

Don't know if this will cause changes to the TV dub (that will likely continue) and the paused Blu-ray release of the classic episodes.

If they redub the names in the live action series as well, they'd have the same in everything One Piece related on the plattform (given they also have the simulcast).

But if you'd ask me, I doubt this would be worth several million $ / €, but Netflix is paying, not me, so...
October 23, 2025 at 9:45 AM
It seems that the new Netflix dubs uses the Japanese names for all characters, whilest the old (and likely still continuing dub) uses Ruffy & Lysop instead of Luffy and Usopp
October 22, 2025 at 6:14 PM
The German dub currently covers up to episode 1100 (excluding the Toriko crossovers), all "official" movies & most feature-length TV-specials

It had some dialogue censorship in the first 400(?) episodes, but no censorship cuts.
October 22, 2025 at 6:14 PM
Sadly for me, Netflix will use a cropped 16:9 upscale for the earlier arcs - I don't like that, but I guess an average new fan will think differently.
Also it's a bit questionable how many old fans will actually rewatch the series from the beginning, given the length.
October 22, 2025 at 1:26 PM
The new German dub will feature the same voice actors as the previous dub, at least for the main cast - which is kinda increadible. But it will use a new script that avoids mistranslations and wrong names.
October 22, 2025 at 1:26 PM
So over the next likely 5 years or so they'll dub over 1000 episodes of One Piece in multiple languages, which is likely well beyond 10 million $ in dubbing fees alone...

Enough to dub roughly 100 other anime series
