One Piece is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of the anime this year, and the franchise has come out swinging with One Piece: Stampede. After the film released earlier this year in Japan to great box office success for both One Piece and Toei Animation, fans in North America have been waiting to see the big event film for themselves. Funimation has brought both an English subbed and English dubbed release for the new film, and fans were finally able to check out its theatrical premiere. But what do they think? Is it living up to 20 years of hype?

Have you been able to see the new film? Are you planning to? Will you be skipping this one? You can also talk to me directly @Valdezology on Twitter!
Funimation will be screening One Piece: Stampede in the United States with English subtitles on October 24, 29 and 31, and with an English dub on October 26 and 30. They officially describe the new film as such, “Monkey D. Luffy and his Straw Hat pirate crew are invited to a massive Pirate Festival that brings many of the most iconic characters from throughout the franchise to participate in competition with the Straw Hats to find Roger’s treasure. It also pits the Straw Hats against a new enemy named Bullet, a former member of Roger’s crew.”
Everyone is Here!
#OnePieceStampede is like a party you throw and you invite everyone you know thinking not everyone will say yes, and then everyone actually shows up, and then one of those people has roid rage and is into purple CGI, and someone requests the DJ to play “We Are!”

For Real, Everyone is Here.
One Piece Stampede was like taking all of your action figures and dumping them onto the carpet, then dumping all of your Legos onto your action figures, your mom telling you to clean them up, and then playing while cleaning up
