Funimation (UK and Ireland)

Funimation is a distributor of anime in the United Kingdom and Ireland that began releasing One Piece on DVD and Blu-Ray in 2013, when they were known as Manga Entertainment. They were acquired by the North American Funimation, who already held the One Piece anime in their own territories, in May 2019 and subsequently re-branded as the UK branch of Funimation in April 2021.

As of 2020, Funimation has licensed the first 563 episodes of the TV series (except for crossover episodes) and twelve of the Movies for release in Britain.

TV Series
The UK release of the One Piece TV series is identical in content to the American equivalents, including the logo and credit alterations. Collections 1-13 use the PAL masters created by Madman, whereas Collection Fourteen onward are identical to the NTSC discs released in America, even referring to the US "Voyage" releases in the menus. These releases contain audio in English 5.1 surround and Japanese stereo.

The 'In The Booth with Brina Palencia' special feature, which was advertised but not included with the US release of Season Five: Voyage Four, is included in Collection Thirteen. The Marathon Mode option is missing from the first thirteen collections. Otherwise, the extras are identical to their US counterparts.

Movies
The movies previously released in America contain the English dub and original Japanese versions, whereas the others contain the Japanese version only. The movie packs use locally produced masters which predate Funimation's acquisition of Manga Entertainment, resulting in the subtitles occasionally using names and terminology inconsistent with the TV series and American releases. Despite a consistent translation having already been released in America, this still applies to Movie 8, despite a consistent subtitle track already existing.

Movie 8
This contains the same content as the 'Movie 7-9 Collection' disc.

Movie 12
The extras from the American and Australian releases are not included.

Reception
With Britian's first release of the series, several reviewers noted the high fan demand for an uncut DVD version following its American release six years earlier and the relative value of starting with the Collection sets. Like the American releases, the uncut version and Funimation dub were considered a more effective approach to the series than 4Kids' edited version as aired on TV. Some reviews criticized the earlier DVDs' video quality for including noticeable compression artifacts such as macroblocking, although these problems were noted to be less apparent in later volumes, particularly once the DVDs started using HD masters.

While the release of movies not licensed in America was appreciated, the Movie Collection DVDs themselves were considered disappointing. The first Movie Collection was criticized for having poor video and audio quality, as well as translations that were not consistent with either the TV series DVDs or the other movie releases; several errors on the box for this release, incorrectly advertising an English dub, 5.1 audio and the short Dream Soccer King, were also noted. The video quality of the other two Movie Collections was much more positively received, but the films still contained a "disappointing" stereo soundtrack with "music and sound effects overpowering dialogue to the point of burying it completely" and subtitles with grammatical and translation errors. The audio and translation issues were carried over to the Blu-ray release of Movie 8, but did not affect movies 10 and 12.

Theatrical
Strong World was screened at BFI Southbank on May 16, 2014, and One Piece: Stampede was released theactrically on February 2, 2020, in subtitled and dubbed formats.
