At last we seem to know when we’re seeing One Piece Film: Red. It may not be the exact date, but it’s close enough for now. Not only that, but we’re getting the information from one of the most unlikely sources: the University of Southern California.
Release date revealed!
Twitter user Orojapan posted a cheep which contains a screenshot from the USCAthletics YouTube channel, showing the game USC vs. Rice. What happened during that match is of no importance as far as I’m concerned. The important thing is that little bar at the bottom of the screenshot. As you can see: it is a banner for One Piece Film: Red. Even better, it actually gives us a release window for the anime film just to the right of the title.
According to that bar, we’ll see One Piece Film: Red at some point of October 2022. Combined with other information we receive about the anime film, we have our US theatrical release window. Unfortunately, the window doesn’t get any more specific than the release month. Fortunately, that window is also less than a month away as of this writing, so we probably won’t have to wait long before we get a more specific release date. Check back to THS later as we get closer to October to find out when we do.
