Netflix Picks Up ONE PIECE Anime

According to German Anime news site MANIME.DE, Netflix will soon be launching ONE PIECE after it secured the rights to the hit pirate anime-series.

"In Japan wurde angekündigt das Netflix bald «One Piece» ins Programm nehmen wird. Was bisher bekannt ist…

Große Augen gab es heute in der Piraten-Community bei einer Ankündigung, die aktuell im Internet die Runde macht. Wie aus einer japanischen Zeitschrift zu entnehmen ist, soll sich der US-Streamingdienst NETFLIX die Rechte an «One Piece» gesichert haben. Wie und in welcher Form ist zum aktuellen Zeitpunkt jedoch nicht bekannt. Weitere Details werden erst demnächst bekannt gegeben.

Es kann jedoch davon ausgegangen werden, dass sich die Lizenzierung vorerst auf den japanischen oder asiatischen Raum von Netflix beschränken wird. Auch wenn wir natürlich sehr hoffen, dass auch wir bald in den Genuss von «One Piece» auf Netflix kommen werden. Wir werden euch auf dem Laufenden halten!"

Translation:

"In Japan, it was announced that Netflix will soon be launching "One Piece". What is known so far ... Big eyes were in the pirate community today with an announcement that is currently making the rounds on the internet. As can be seen from a Japanese magazine, the US streaming service NETFLIX is said to have secured the rights to "One Piece". However, how and in what form is currently unknown. Further details will be announced soon. However, it can be expected that licensing will initially be limited to Netflix's Japanese or Asian markets. Of course, we hope that we will soon be able to enjoy One Piece on Netflix. We will keep you up to date!"

A recent Reddit post by Wewius also discusses this news: https://www.reddit.com/r/OnePiece/comments/7uq57z/one_piece_officially_on_netflix_got_this_image_on/

If One Piece gets high ratings on Netflix Japan, I'm hoping it's also launched in Netflix UK & Netflix US. This could introduce so many new people to One Piece and give it the justice it deserves in the Western World - something that was denied to One Piece because of the poor 4Kids dub.

Wolf Children Played On Syfy Channel (British TV)

Pokemon Movie 15: Kyurem Vs The Swords Of Justice Played On CITV On 28/12/16 (UK TV)

I took massive Ls and forgot my login for the blog, but now I'm finally back after 7 months...

So before I forgot my login, I was meant to post the Pokemon film which I last watched before I stopped watching the rest of the Poke-marathon.

Pokemon Movie 15: Kyurem Vs The Swords Of Justice

It played on Wednesday, 28 December 2017 (though I don't remember if I watched it later on the same day or the next).

That aside, I have to say I actually kinda liked this Movie. 

It was my first time watching this one & I'd been wanting to for several years (ever since it first came out when I was kid!).

Unfortunately I didn't get to watch the previous Movies and the ones after this one, since I was moving away and didn't have access to it.

Pokemon Movie 9 & 10 Played On 22 & 23 December (British TV)

I enjoyed these films. I hadn't watched them for a VERY long time. The music was great too.

The memories came back to me though, it felt great.

As of 22/12/2016, the first three films have already been shown. The next film will be Movie 9.

Pokemon Movie 3: Entei - Spell Of The Unown Played On CITV Today (21 December)

I thought the film would start at 1:10pm, so I when I tuned into CITV, I was disappointed as it turned out that I'd missed out 7 minutes since it'd actually started at 1:00pm.

The last time I truly watched this was when I was 10, so naturally I was displeased that I'd miss those important 7 minutes.

Here some pictures I took from the start (with the CITV logo):

Hearing 'To Know The Unknown' by Innosense while Molly's father, and later her mother, returned to her really brought me back to the days. Always brings a smile.

Definitely one of the best Pokemon ending songs.

Original Pokemon Movie Trilogy On CITV From 19-21 December 2016 | UK TV |

When I suddenly saw Manga UK's update that the original Pokemon film trilogy was on British UK TV, I was pleasingly shocked and decided to check the comments to learn more and see what time the first film (Mewtwo Strikes Back) was on.

The thing is, I very, very rarely (!) watch TV, so it's funny how the only reason I decided to finally turn it on was because Pokemon Movie 1 was playing.

I found out that it had already started at 1:00pm, so I immediately turned on the TV to watch it and tuned into CITV to see the film already at around the halfway point - I had decided to watch it because it'd been a while since I'd last watched it (about a year, but I wasn't paying too much attention since I was with my younger cousin).

Hearing the soundtrack again and seeing the memorable scenes again made my day, especially since I hadn't truly watched the film for years.

Not just this, I picked up on a LOT of things that I didn't pick up on, or really didn't properly comprehend, when I was a kid.

Interestingly, I remembered when "Brother My Brother" would play and mouthed it before the scene started - my bro realised I had remembered.

When the film ended (after listening to the nostalgic music from the end credits), I actually went to another channel (Horror) to watch an on-going film (which rarely even happens!). 

"The Last Man On Planet Earth" is a sick film.

--> On Tuesday (yesterday) I'd forgotten to watch the second film (Power Of One) because I was occupied with things and completely forgot in general. It started at 11:30am apparently.

That was probably one of my favourite Pokemon Movies, so it's a bummer.

Hopefully I'll catch Pokemon Movie 3 on CITV tomorrow at 1:10pm!
