History & Production

Small Beginnings

The first appearance of the series was in March 2010, a trailer that consisted of the opening narration from Episode 1, with a title card at the end saying "Coming Soon...I promise".

Behind the scenes, at this point Uraby210 had already prepared scripts for the first three episodes and was ready to commence production. However, a friend (Munjeej) discovered the project and offered to help with voices and scripting. After reviewing Munjeej's work, Uraby210 appointed him as head under-scriptwriter, and also (at the former's request) cast him as Usopp.

Episode 1 was released on YouTube on April 12th. Episodes 2 and 3 quickly followed, on April 16th and 25th respectively. Episode 3 was the first to feature Munjeej in a speaking role, as the mountain bandit Higuma.

Hiatus and Return

After the script for Episode 4 was prepared and finalised, production ceased for two months whilst Uraby210 moved house and purchased a new computer and microphone. A short video entitled "A Brief Interlude" informed the viewers of these events.

Soon after Uraby210 purchased his new microphone, he uploaded another video entitled "We Are...Back!" which served as both an announcement of the series's return, and a trailer for the forthcoming Episode 4.

Episode 4 was released on June 21st, and was an important milestone for a number of reasons, since it was not only the first episode to go over YouTube's then-limit of 10 minutes and so had to be split into two parts, but it was also the first full episode to be edited with Adobe Premiere CS5 as opposed to the first three episodes, which had been made with Windows Movie Maker (it was not, however, the first video to be edited with Premiere - that distinction is held by the Episode 4 trailer). Episode 4 is also the first episode to feature Mr. Calm in a speaking role, as Cabaji.

Disaster Strikes

On June 30th 2010, Uraby210's YouTube account was suspended. He responded by creating a new account called "Uraby210Productions". He then re-uploaded Episodes 1 through 4 with added disclaimers at the beginning of every video making it clear that he did not own One Piece or any associated content. He also posted a similar message on his YouTube channel.

To make it clear that he was not to be deterred by such inconveniences, Uraby210 pushed forward with the production of Episode 5, which was eventually released on July 4th, following a trailer a week earlier, which featured the first appearance of Munjeej in his main role as Usopp. However, Episode 5 was beset by problems at the editing stage, which resulted in a noticeable drop in video quality from 12 minutes and 36 seconds in until the end.

Carrying On Regardless

Episode 6 was released on July 18th, but soon after its release, Episodes 1 through 5 were taken down by YouTube. Seeing that it was impossible to re-upload the videos a second time, Uraby210 instead chose to create a DailyMotion account, where he uploaded all 6 episodes, and continues to upload each new episode soon after its YouTube release. However, Episode 4 was rejected by DailyMotion, and is currently the only episode not available to view on that site.

Episode 7 was released on July 30th, but its release also saw the removal of Episode 6 from YouTube. By this point, YouTube had raised the video time limit to 15 minutes, so Episode 7 did not have to be split in half like earlier episodes. Episode 7 suffered severe sync issues when uploaded to YouTube. However, the DailyMotion version corrected this.

A special episode, "Ramblings From a Diseased Mind" was uploaded exclusively on YouTube on August 2nd. This consisted of Munjeej's warm-up material and general silliness that he had recorded (in character) in addition to his lines for Episodes 3 through 7 (possibly due to the influence of alcohol).

Episode 8 was released on August 18th, and was the first video to exceed YouTube's new limit of 15 minutes, and so had to be artificially sped up by 2%. Whilst this is not very noticable for the most part, it caused some sync issues towards the end of the episode. This effect is not present in the DailyMotion upload, since the limit on that site is 20 minutes, so no edits of that sort had to be made.

Episode 9 was released on September 1st.

Episode 10 was released in the early hours of September 22nd, after a slight delay in editing. Like Episode 8, the YouTube version had to be slightly shortened. It was the first episode to receive its premiere on DailyMotion before its premiere on YouTube.

Episode 11 was released in the early hours of October 2nd. It features the return of Mr. Calm in the role of Fullbody (following some acting lessons and bribery).

Banned Again

On October 4th 2010, the Uraby210Productions account was suspended. The series can now be found on Uraby210's Dailymotion account (see above) and a new YouTube account, Uraby210Incorporated. All episodes from 1 to 11 (and the outtakes special) were re-uploaded with slight adjustments in order to fool YouTube's blacklist filter. Unfortunately, FUNimation still pulled Episode 5 Part 1.

Episode 12 was released on October 14th, the first new episode to be uploaded onto the third account. Soon after, Toei pulled everything except Episodes 7 and 12. A counter-claim was immediately issued.

Another outtakes special, "The Mind of Munjeej", was released exclusively on YouTube on October 17th.

A trailer for Episode 13, entitled "Meet Tashigi", was released on October 20th.

Episode 13 itself was relesed on October 25th. So far, it is the shortest episode of the series, at only 8 minutes and 22 seconds in length.

All episodes (save for Episode 5 Part 1) were re-instated when the counter-claim expired on November 4th.

Back in the Game...Kind Of

Episode 14 was released on November 21st. This was the first (and so far only) episode to be written by Munjeej and then revised by Uraby210, rather than the other way around (however, Munjeej had previously written a draft script for Episode 6, not all of which was used in the finished video).

Two days later, Episodes 12 and 13 were removed, followed by Episode 14 a day later, resulting in the termination of the account. Counter-claims were then issued.

Since the YouTube account was still down, Episode 15 was released on December 7th, but only on DailyMotion.

On December 9th, Uraby210 made a fourth account, Uraby210Regenerated, and stated that this would be used solely as a backup account, once the main account came back, and that he would only ever post the newest episode on this account, so that it could never be taken down.

The Uraby210Incorporated account was reactivated on Christmas Day.

Episode 16 was released on December 27th. This was the first episode to feature Munjeej as Captain Smoker, following a recasting decision made during production of Episode 14.

On January 3rd, Uraby210 uploaded a video featuring Munjeej responding to GrandLineStudios' comments on the Uraby210Incorporated channel.

Four days leter, Uraby210 released a trailer for the upcoming Episode 17, entitled "Apis and the Ericmen", in homage to "Delta and the Bannermen".

On January 9th, Uraby210 uploaded the full version of Episode 5, which had not been available on YouTube since the end of July due to it being pulled by FUNimation. However, the video had to be sped up by 5% to get under YouTube's duration limit, and this is particularly noticeable during the disclaimer and opening.

Episode 17 was released on Dailymotion on January 17th, and then on YouTube the following day. This was the first episode to include censor bleeps (on the YouTube release only). This episode served as Uraby210's entry to the January 2011 Abridging Contest. Episode 17 is the longest episode released so far, at 18 minutes and 4 seconds in length.

On January 24th, Uraby210 started a Twitter feed for the series and posted a video on YouTube informing the fans of this development.

Future Voyages

The script for Episode 18 has been completed. Tonyfinn1 has recorded his lines for this episode.
