Crunchyroll announced that they have launched a new YouTube channel called Crunchyroll Extras. The channel will feature mobile-friendly content for the Crunchyroll community. As they celebrate the launch of this new YouTube channel, Crunchyroll will also bring a slate of One Piece content to commemorate the birthday of protagonist and pirate captain Monkey D. Luffy.
