One Piece English-Dub Release Confirmed On Crunchyroll But Only In Few Selected Countries
One Piece English-Dub has been confirmed to get released on Crunchyroll from 5th July onwards only in a few of the selected countries:
- United States
- Canada
- Australia
- New Zealand

The One Piece dubbed version has already caught up to 1000 episodes out of 1067 episodes released till now.
The One Piece English-Dub merge with Crunchyroll was officially a year ago. However, for some reason, things are progressing slowly.

“Been about a year since the merger was made official. Not sure if this means that the dub on Funimation means it won’t be updated anymore. They’ve been moving stuff over slowly from what I have seen.”

“They probably have to reencode everything and it’s super slow or they have some contacts attached to the funanimation brand.”

However, fans are now delighted that they no longer need to pay for two streaming services at once to watch their favorite anime series with their friends and family in English dub.
“Jesus. It’s about time. That’s the main reason I haven’t moved to crunchyroll and I’m not paying for two services at the same time.”

UK fans aren’t pleased with the choice, despite the English dub’s availability. The UK is not one of the listed nations chosen for the English dub release. The fans are severely disappointed by this.
“I know VPN’s exist, but cry in UK.”
u/PiggyWhiskers
“Can we just get an official stream release in the UK at last?”
u/ThatFatGuyMJL
It’s just been a matter of time. They’ll probably trickle them in instead of dump them all at once tho, so funimation I must remain for a while longer

It seems fans still have to rely on Netflix and Funimation for the One Piece English-Dub, as Crunchyroll’s distribution of the English dubs for the rest of the world doesn’t appear imminent.
