Why Should We Watch One Piece? [spoilers] Featuring Tristan Field | Podcast

We finally address our great shame of never having watched One Piece (well, Charlie has seen 100ish episodes) by getting One Piece super fan Tristan Field on to convince us to take the plunge. One Piece is Tristan's favorite piece of media ever and he takes us through the genius of Eiichiro Oda and the extraordinary world building of the phenomenon that is One Piece.
