In a groundbreaking move for content creators, popular YouTuber IShowSpeed has announced that he has received permission from a producer of the ‘One Piece’ anime series to livestream all episodes on his channel without facing copyright issues.
‘One Piece,’ created by Eiichiro Oda, is one of the longest-running and most beloved anime series, with a current total of 1,122 episodes.
Each episode averages around 23 minutes, amounting to approximately 430 hours of content. This means that a continuous marathon would span nearly 18 days without interruption.
IShowSpeed, known for his dynamic streaming content, has not yet detailed how he plans to utilize this unprecedented opportunity. Whether he will host a continuous marathon, segment the episodes into themed streams, or incorporate interactive elements with his audience remains to be seen.
This development highlights the evolving relationship between content creators and traditional media producers, potentially setting a precedent for future collaborations. It also underscores the increasing recognition of platforms like YouTube as significant channels for media consumption and fan engagement.
As fans eagerly await IShowSpeed’s plans, this collaboration promises to bring the adventures of Monkey D. Luffy and the Straw Hat Pirates to an even broader audience, further solidifying ‘One Piece’s’ status as a global cultural phenomenon.
