Transcript

This is the first ever One Piece Best in North America, and every anime fan needs to check it out at least once in their life. It's packed with everything from trading cards to Instagrammable photo stations to free Luffy hats, with each floor representing a different season in the anime. They invited me as a VIP guest for an early early preview. One of the first things they had us do was a scavenger hunt. Along the way, I played festival games, had drinks inspired by the show, and even watched a live performance from Hiroshi Kidadani, most known for singing opening theme songs for One Piece. Oh, and it was his birthday today too. Happy birthday to you. The whole experience is at Cosm Los Angeles. You could easily spend three hours there and still have more activities to explore. Stay tuned for my full breakdown in my newsletter. Comment signal, and I'll send you the link.
