Netflix continues to expand the anime offering. The iconic series hit "One Piece" will follow soon - but the joy should be limited for now.
+++ Caution, spoilers for the first four seasons of "One Piece" +++ follow
- Netflix recently announced that it would release over 100 episodes of the anime series "One Piece" .
- The episodes are scheduled to go online in June 2020 .
- But fans shouldn't be happy too early for two reasons.
The fans have wanted it for a long time and now the dream should become a reality: Netflix has announced that it will make over 100 episodes of the anime hit "One Piece" available. Specifically, the audience can expect the complete "East Blue" saga (season 1) and the "Alabasta" saga (season 2 to 4), which ends with Nico Robin's joining Luffy's crew.
Still, there is some bad news that fans shouldn't neglect.
When does the anime "One Piece" appear on Netflix?
In recent years, Netflix * has steadily expanded the anime offering, causing the streaming service to gradually overtake classic anime platforms like Crunchyroll . However, it will still take some time before the offers of the two services are comparable. But Netflix is on the best way, because the series classics "Naruto" and "Naruto Shippuden" are already on offer there - after fans have been demanding the latter anime for months *.
With "One Piece" the streaming service secures the next anime classic. As Netflix announced on Twitter, the first four seasons should be available on June 12, 2020 . In total, users can look forward to 130 episodes .

By the way, there is a good reason for the release of the seasons: Soon a real film "One Piece" series will be produced, which will appear exclusively on Netflix. Eiichirou Oda , the creator of the manga, will also be involved in the production. However, it is still unclear when the fans can count on the series.

"One Piece" on Netflix: Bad news for German fans
Unfortunately, there is a catch: At the request of tz.de * (as of April 30, 2020) at Netflix , a spokesman confirmed that the announcement of the 130 "One Piece" episodes does not refer to Germany . So there is no knowledge of whether the series will also appear in Germany - but this cannot be ruled out in the distant future.
In addition, fans of the series express a completely different concern on Twitter: Netflix may cut the episodes to a 16: 9 format instead of uploading them in the previously common 4: 3 TV format . This could cause important details to be lost - which is also the case with old "Simpsons" episodes on Disney + *.
