Hm, the thought hadn't crossed my mind then … haha, I could try and ask now though. Maybe he'll respond again.
Unofficial Funi DVD discussions

That's be super special awesome if you could. We're not sue how long ago the Fourth Voyage commentary was recorded.
-
@dirt:
I got a response from Mike McFarland.
That's all he said though. Not quite sure how I think about that.
I'm glad I wasn't loosing it when I thought this is what he had told someone before. Good to see that my memory is still working.
I'm still waiting for my set to arrive. USPS hates me. I used to get my stuff in 5 days. These year it's taking 7. (Yeah yeah, free shipping… yeah yeah.)
-
They already said in the commentary how far they are, and it's mixed. They're doing these things out of order, as different directors are handling different chunks of episodes. Luci said in the commentary that she had "just met Chopper," and "yelled at a dinosaur." Also, Mike mentioned that they had recorded some dialogue for Robin. So they've finished Whiskey Peak, and they're currently recording Drum, Little Garden, and possibly others simultaneously.
-
Yeah, but we don't know long ago that commentary was recorded.
Recently, we were hearing that they were around Alabasta. Cobra's VA - his name escapes me at the moment - told me that he was recording for Cobra around Christmas break.
-
And I reported that someone talked to Collien a couple weeks ago at a convention, and she said that they were on Alabasta right now.

there at Alabasta already? yeesh! by summer i'll bet they'll reach enies lobby since they already dubbed the skypiea arc.

I think that's a bit of a stretch - Funi is flying through the series, but even with Skypiea and Jaya done, I don't think they'll get THAT far by the summer.
They are on other projects, and it's not all voice acting, either. Eric Vale seems to have a LOT of head writing jobs (I've seen like, three or four INCLUDING One Piece) and I've seen some of the others in higher up positions - Chris Sabat is in the credits a lot for UA and not just as Zoro's VA, Caitlin Glass was the director or something on Ouran High School Host Club (I don't recall the exact title), Colleen did a lot of work with xxxHOLIC and Tsubasa beyond just voicing Yuuko . . . these guys are BUSY.

okay maybe not Enies Lobby, but probably near water 7 or at least halfway into the davy back fight arc.

That I will agree is more plausible. :)
-
Yeah, since most of them ether be working Sgt. Frog, Shin-Chan, Soul Eater etc. beside working on OP.
-
Stupid FYE is not going to ship my order to till the last week of march, next time, I'm preordering it else where.
-
Gotta say… I expected more from Believe. It was passable I guess, but I couldn't stand most the vocals. And the commentary was ok on Luci's part, but having a director instead of a VA didn't sit well with me. Though I will say it was better than Eric's commentary; at least we got some good production info.
Aside from that, 4th Voyage was great. I kinda prefered Smoker's 4Kids voice, but the Funi one works too. Oh yes, and I loved the 'shit' Funi threw in with Buggy XP I can't wait for Season 2 - Second Voyage, it'll be great :) (not buying S2 1V)
Edit: Do you think I should start an "Official Funi DVD discussions" or "Funi DVD Talkback" for the DVDs that are/come out? That way this thread could be used for speculation or discussion about the future releases.
-
Why are so many people swearing they wont buy S2V1?
That one will include the entering the Grand Line Scene not to mention Laboon… and Whiskey Peak up to Luffy Vs Zoro... Maybe Like Movie 8 before it, the Apis arc can be made better with the FUNi dub cast...
True, it's our First Filler DVD, but
A: Would anyone really want to have a hole in their collection?
B: Would anyone not want the Laboon eps or Whiskey Peak? As this set will include the ENTIRE Whiskey Peak Arc besides the very last ep of the arc (that is assuming FUNi doesn't give us 14 eps like they did this time)
C: Is the Apis arc really THAT bad?! -
Am I the only who actually enjoys the fillers? Yes, the only one that's really as good as the original arc material was G8, but I still find the non-cannonical material enjoyable.

A: If you don't mind, sure.
C: Don't know… I really do hate filler to the point I don't even give it a chance. Any filler I ever watch I never find interesting; I always find myself thinking "God, when will this end." I quit watching Naruto when it entered fillers, and if I see an episode list of any anime with the (filler) on it I always skip it.Some may find that silly or stupid even, but it's just the person I am. If I won't watch it for free online, then why would I pay to see it?
-
One Piece Fillers > Naruto Fillers ANY DAY
Plus, they integrated The Davy Back Fight with filler, so you HAVE to watch Filler there.
And then there's the G8 Arc, Ask ANYONE, they'll tell you G8 is on par with the Manga story -
Want releases to be faster? Don't penalize FUNi for releasing ALL the episodes. Drop in sales would probably lead to slower releases.
-
Yeah, good point.
The More they make on what they're releasing, the faster you'll see DVDs come out -
It'd be a waste not to buy even filler sets. It's more or less a total disregard of the crap we went through to get this far from the 4Kids era. Truthfully, I feel it a little disrespectful. It's not like eight episodes–compared to ten-times that number with Naruto--are going to kill anyone. Heck, this is FUNimation, even when they improve most of their titles (debatably) with their dubs, sans the Dragonball franchise.
Besides, Laboon is some epoch* stuff right there and means muchos to the plot down the line.
*Forgive the pun.

I'm working on restoring the Funi FAQ topic right now, and I have a lot of missing VAs that I was hoping you guys could help me find. I need the actors for:
! Carrot
Pepper
Onion
Zeff
Patty
Carnie
Gin
Pearl
Smoker
Tashigi
Dragon
Enel
Blueno
Lucci
And whoever sang BelieveI am in the process of finding them on my own, but it'd be quicker with a bit of help ^_^, thanks in advance

But yeah, Apis' arc was really hard to swallow. If it weren't for Ryusei Nakao voicing Erik, I probably wouldn't have moderately enjoyed the arc.
-
Oh god yeah, it woulda been the BEST if he called Luffy a "Damn Monkey" too
-
Am I the only who actually enjoys the fillers? Yes, the only one that's really as good as the original arc material was G8, but I still find the non-cannonical material enjoyable.
I like the fillers… I like all the episodes so far:happy:
-

I'm anyone, G8 = manga? No. Better than most filler? Sure. It's LESS SHITTY than most fill, but as good as Oda's masterpiece, not even close. At best it's wasted potential. And for the record I plan on buying Season 2 part 1, because it has some cannon episodes, if it was ALL FILLER I might think twice about it, but I'm a big enought One Piece fan I'd most likely still buy an all filler volume just to be loyal.
-
Everyone's upset about Sanji not having his attacks in French
But honestly,
I'm much much more upset that he didn't say anything about Kuroobi not not needing dessert.
-
Sorry, but for me 5 episodes of cannon isn't worth 8 episodes of filler :(
A: If you don't mind, sure.
C: Don't know… I really do hate filler to the point I don't even give it a chance. Any filler I ever watch I never find interesting; I always find myself thinking "God, when will this end." I quit watching Naruto when it entered fillers, and if I see an episode list of any anime with the (filler) on it I always skip it.Some may find that silly or stupid even, but it's just the person I am. If I won't watch it for free online, then why would I pay to see it?
you will regret not haveing the labboon arc and then everytime you want to rewatch one piece you well feel ashamed and mad about the filler box set, so just buy it now and support the seris for the greater good of it having more total boxsets.

So, it would seem that Season 2 First Voyage will come out on the 8th of July, according to this link:
http://www.mania.com/aodvb/showthread.php?t=91854 -
Finally a release date! Kinda disappointed it isn't June, but July isn't that bad, as it's BASICALLY a three month wait (late March -> early July).
Or less if you order from RightStuf.
-
Not a bad release date. Since you are getting pretty much 3 months worth episodes (13 - 14 episodes).
-
July is fine by me.
-
July is not fine by me! TOO LONG!
-
I agree that July is fine. Just happy they are coming out. Plus I am already buying a ton of crap in June as it is…
-
Same thing for as well. Since I got a couple of dvds I got to get in June. So this does work out for me at the end.
-

I'm much much more upset that he didn't say anything about Kuroobi not not needing dessert.
Think it has to do with the fact that he made a bunch of French cooking terms in the original. Saying he won't be needing desert wouldn't make much sense if he was just saying the body parts in English.

One Piece Season 2, First Voyage is now coming out on 6/30/09.

That cover is simply amazing. Glad they changed the border up a bit for the new season. The 6/30 release date is pretty good too. I'm just thankful it's not a 4 month wait like with sets 1-3.
-
Sweet! June! Not at nice as the 2 month wait between the last couple of sets but I was getting used to the idea of the early July release.
-
JUNE 30 !?! SWEET, THATS MY BIRTHDAY!!
I now know what I'm getting, OP Season 2 Vol.1!!!
(Don't care if its a filler, still getting it!)
-
Now that we have a release date AND a cover art, I come bearing gifts!
Another Desktop Clock!!
To Download them:
1. Go here
2. Download and install the program offered there
3. Download the skins here
4. Unzip that file (Click "Extract Here", don't make a new Folder) into the "Skins" folder in the PhanTim3 folder in your program files. (Should be C:\Program Files\PhanTim3\Skins)
5. Open the program, right click it and set the date and time to "June 30" at "12 AM" and go to "Chose Skin." Pick which of the 4 One Piece Skins you want. If you pick the folder for the skins instead of just one of the skins, then pick "RANDOM," every 5 minutes, it will randomly cycle through the 4 skins. -
I'm thrilled that they're changing up the border for this season. I was thinking it was going to be kept the same, and that's not a whole lot of variety. I'm stoked for this, it looks awesome.
-
Wow.
I was never too impressed with this brown "piratey" packaging Funi's been using, but if that's really the cover of the next Season set, me likey.
-
I found this over at the Anime on DVD forum
Somehow, the new border reminds me of their D.Gray-man DVDs…
Ah well, it still looks cool. And despite being 50% filler, I'll still buy the set for the remaining 50%. Heck, I'll probably buy the eleventh set too, (Season 3 - First Voyage?) even though that one will probably be nothing but fillers. -
Season Two Assumptions:
First Voyage: 54-67 (Through end of Whiskey Peak)

First Voyage: 379-392
Hmm…well, it would appear I've run out of episodes to work with. Anyhow, the above is just an idea of what I think would be the smartest game plan. No set would be less than eleven or greater than fourteen.
-
You have to remember that 131 - 143 is part of Season 2 still. Season 3 doesn't start until 144. And that 196 - 206 is also still part of Season 3.
