It’s nearing midnight in Tokyo on the release day of “One Piece.” But despite being in the story’s birthplace, star Emily Rudd is feeling an unexpected sense of distance. “ I sort of feel like I’m just hanging out here in the city as my own person, separate from the show,” she says. “And then there are little moments where I’m like, ‘oh, that’s right — there’s this huge thing that’s happening today.’” The show and manga’s vast fanbase, meanwhile, had already marked a different midnight — on the West Coast — when all eight episodes dropped on Netflix. While the “One Piece” cast has been living and talking about the new season nonstop ahead of the premiere, fans are now finally able to join the conversation. “It’s so cool to see fan thoughts and reviews rolling in,” says Rudd. “Some people are an insane way through the season — it’s only been out for a few hours, and I’m seeing people talking about being halfway through the season or more, and I’m like, ‘how did you guys find the time?’ It’s so exciting that they’re so into it.” Emily Rudd with a group of fans at Netflix’s “ONE PIECE” Season 2 Los Angeles Fan
