One Piece is one of the most beloved anime series on the planet, so it’s only natural that there will be many movies set in the same universe after all. And there are! There are a total of 15 films released so far, and in this article, we will go through all the One Piece movies in order of their release date!
If you are trying to find out everything you can about One Piece movies, then I will assume that you are already a fan of anime. You must have watched the anime or read the manga, which is why you now want to watch the movies. That was my reason when I first started watching the films, so I created this list to help you in your quest to watch every single film set in the One Piece universe.
One Piece anime is a long-running series with more than 1000 episodes, and it is still ongoing. At the rate the story is progressing, I am sure there will be at least 400 to 500 more episodes before it finally comes to an end.
If you haven’t watched the anime and want some help navigating through the vast episode count, I have written a One Piece watch order guide that should prove to be a good resource. So don’t forget to check that out.
But let’s not forget about today’s topic. We are here to talk about the One Piece movies, so let’s get started without wasting more time!
