    Seriously, Mihawk's character is such a dangerous role to play. The amount of people that instantly fell in love with him and the fanbase around him, I would argue, rivals even Zoro. Even though we've only seen mihawk a handful of times. I'd be curious to know if there's more zoro fans or mihawk fans from the anime.

    I'm really glad that the opportunity to make the show was given to people who genuinely love the series and wished to do it justice. It shows and deserves all the accolades it had got. Hope South Africa would get more projects like outside of One Piece moving forward.

    Steven was born to play Mihawk and we are so lucky to have him!!! On a side note, do you think you can interview Peter Gadiot (Red-Haired Shanks) in the future?? Shanks is one of my favorite characters and I’d love to hear from the guy who brought him to life as I don’t think he has taken any interviews in the past

    I want to see a panel of all of the "mature" actors in One Piece........separate from the main cast. Steve Ward and Jeff Ward seem like two dudes that would be almost way to much alike. Zeph and Garp.........similar. Just amazing what this show pulled off.
