On this special episode of The One Piece Podcast we have everything you could ask for. We kick off our special “Episode 500 Contest” and then go into some News with the Firesack. We have a discussion and recap for Manga Chapter 626, “The Three Neptune Brothers” with Greg. We also round off our Top 5 Simulcasts with #1 and #2. Then we go into our special Anime Recap extravaganza: an Anime Recap of Episode 499 with Jason and Firecrouch followed by an Anime Recap of Episode 500 with Steve, Zach, and Ed with a mini-Anime Piece Together. Then the fun really begins: we have a new “Dude and Zach’s Dance Carnival” with a review of the Movie 7 Soundtrack, followed by a special Pieces of Eight with Greg and the gang. We then go into our full-lengthen Piece Together and round off. That’s a lot of stuff to do, so let’s get started… 0:00:00 Introduction: Second Anniversary 0:04:07 News with the Firesack 0:16:37 Manga Recap: Chapter 626 1:08:09 Top 5 Simulcasts: #2 and #1 1:13:23 Anime Recap: Prelude and Episode 499 1:16:41 Anime Recap: Episode 500 1:41:06 Anime Piece Together 1:44:08 The Dude and Zach’s Dance Carnival 2:02:22 New Promo 2:03:18 Pieces of Eight 2:19:58 Deep Thoughts with Eiichiro Oda 2:21:53 Piece Together 2:30:24 Good Bye As per your votes on Facebook, this episode is now in Super-Enhanced AAC: photos are now full sized and audio/music is now crisper. The file-size for this episode is therefore much higher than usual, so download times will be approximately 1.5-2 times longer than usual. Nevertheless, we hope you enjoy the upgrade. We would like to take this opportunity to thank all those who have listened to us over the passed two years, and we hope to continue on for many, many more. This podcast’s success is all thanks to you who continue to download and listen each week! You are MAJI!
