Yay VIZ. It's about time they listened to us. Next year's gonna rock. Now to save up to buy them and find a bigger bookshelf. My One Piece shelf is running out of room.
New official Viz media topic V2.
-
-
Oh crap, yeah, my bookshelf doesn't have enough room for all of this. I'll be at college though, so I won't have to think about that until May. Heh heh.
For Skypiea, all they really need to do is have Enel call himself a god, and not the God, and things should be peachy, since they kept in Buggy calling himself a pirate god. Some of their other titles involve references to being a god (like Death Note), so I doubt they're going to heavily alter the thematic elements. For Impel Down they'll probably just use ''Hades'', like they did in Vol. 21, though they did manage to slip in a ''hell'' in Vol. 20, so who knows.
-
Since the whole 4Kids fiasco is way behind us, I'm confident we'll get Eneru being referred to as God and Impel Down being referred to as hell. Just look at Shaman King, it kept all of it's religious references.
And Viz's new One Piece site is pretty sweet, it's actually better than FUNi's.
-
Oh, this is excellent news. I can't wait. As others have said, I'll be saving up to buy a huge amount of volumes here. Man. This is going to be great.
-
wooo-hooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!
this is my best day ever!!!!!!!!
but so much money to west…
but still this is agreat news
2010 is the best year of one piece!!!!!!!

Someone uploaded a clip from the Viz Panel from yesterday. Vol. 23 comes out just before the speed up occurs.
Funimation also mentioned this on their panel as a collaborative effort.
-
It's strange, 4Kids lost the rights two years ago and yet Viz still insists on calling him "Zolo." It doesn't help that it's been Romanized as Zoro on his Bounty Poster.
Hopefully with the speed-up we'll see accurate names and a little bit harsher language (I'm mostly referring to Volume 6 and Luffy's DARN YOU after Zoro gets sliced by Mihawk). -

So does this mean we'll be getting more accurate translations/Viz using the same terms as Funi?
-
How do you figure that?

You guys are still worrying about Zolo? That should be the least of your worries with Viz going edit crazy all of a sudden. :/ I could care less as long as they keep the story the same. We all know his name is Zoro, and it's not like his name is "Greg" or something. I just wonder if they're gonna keep in middle fingers, God terms, dialogue and move names. Seeing as how they butcher Sanji's move names all the time. :sad:
-
I hope they keep Law's middle finger intact…. :laughter:
-
YES! YES! OH SWEET MOTHER OF GOD YES!
I can't believe it. I can't believe it. I can't f*cking believe it! In one year we'll be practically caught up to Japan. Oh God I love you Viz. You have totally made up for any and all past misdeeds!
-
it's about time. this is gonna be so fantastic.

wasnt that all 4kids terms though?

If you listen closing you can hear me saying "Thank you" during the announcement

Oh, that was you saying "thank you"? Good one.
-
I also said "Holy shit . . ."
-
Y'know, I'm thinking that with the speed up meaning they have to get the volumes out faster, there might not be enough time for them to do a bunch of random edits.

They probably have most of the work done by now.
-
Translating, editing and sound effects editing for over 300 chapters of material…
...Fuck, I'd hate to be the guys in charge of it.
I do imagine there's more than one group handling this.
-
wasnt that all 4kids terms though?
No, name changes yes, but the language and move names are all on viz's own accord.
For example Mouton shot is called Mouton Mallet, for no reason what so ever.
They mix french with english making for some weird attack names. But why they chose to change a name that HAS english in it is beyond me.
I'm still wondering what's so bad about Mouton shot. Hell Funimation doesn't even say it.:sad:
That's just an example btw, not the only case. One Piece doesn't have to many "off the wall" things said (hell if any), but the way Viz does dragonball always make me worry.
-
Holy crap, Viz you are awesome, thank you!
-
Y'know, I got to thinking: with Viz and Funimation collaborating on this and all and if the speed-up is a major success, the data books and such might actually be possible.
-
One thing is kinda confusing though, why is there a "coming soon" on Chopper in the character section on the website? He's already in the english version of the manga so why hide him?
-

Probably because they only have info on East Blue Saga up right now.
-
Seriously! First monthly DVD releases, Movie 8 appearing for rent in RedBoxes, and now this!
Now if we could a US release of UC AND get the Simulcast back up, we'd be in paradiseWhen did they announce monthly DVD releases?
-

either that or since OP will not be in SJ for awhile..take the 6 months to do the editing.
wonder whos replacing OP in SJ monthly for the 6month break? if there is one
-
There is no break. They're going straight to Impel Down.
It'll be as if Alabasta never ended.

the news calamari posted says they start ID in january though..what happens between Aug. and December 09?
-
They will do what they did with Naruto and put like a huge section in the magazine they tells you what you missed and whay you need to know.
-

Seriously? That too is very awesome.
-

They finish up Alabasta.
-
There are only 4 more 2009 issues - September through December; One Piece will be in at least 2, maybe 3 of those issues w/ the rest of volume 23 - 6 chapters to end Alabasta. By the way…if Viz starts in the January issue, which really comes out in the end of November w/ the Impel Down chapters at a rate of 5 chapters a month, by the time we get to the end of June, they will have released 40 chapters past the end of volume 53...I wonder if they'll continue the volume releases into July w/ volumes 54, 55, 56, and maybe 57? I know they can't announce volumes that aren't even out in Japan yet...but you have to figure, at least volumes 54 and 55 will have run in the magazine in that time. That's 8 issues..even at a rate of 3 chapters per month, we'd have 24 backed up chapters from the magazine when volume 53 comes out.
I lean more towards 4 or 5 chapters per month so we don't fall behind Japan again as would be the case w/ 3 chapters per month. If we go w/ 4 chapters per month - 32 chapters in that 8 issue period until the end of June, we get 32 chapters - 3 volumes worth of chapters. So that means volume 54 and 55 have about a 99% chance of being finished in the magazine by this point and about a 75% chance for volume 56 (at a rate of 4 chapters per month). Slightly less realistic would be 5 chapters EVERY month which would mean volume 57's chapters would be done as well. volume 58 comes out in Japan the same month as volume 53 here, so really we're still 5 volumes behind. This is excellent imo, but I still wonder if Viz will release 2 - 4 more volumes in July to put us 1 - 3 volumes behind Japan :O
-
That's not really a monthly release… One is coming out in the beginning of August, and the next one in the end of September, so it's really closer to a bimonthly release. Still awesome, though.
-
So I'm not going to have to wait until I'm in my thirties to be caught up? tears of joy
-
@LC:
Firecrouch and I went to the VIZ people and asked about changing "Zolo" back to "Zoro". They told us to talk to the editorial department and gave us their E-mail. So hopefully something comes out of this.
Also hell yeah, I was wooting when they announced the speed-up. Godspeed VIZ.
Any chance you could post the e-mail address?
-

We gave them OUR e-mail address, not the other way around.
-
As I stated before, since there are only six chapters of Alabasta left, it might be in the magazine for 2-3 more issues, and probably miss the December issue then come back in January. Chances are they are going to release info about the story arcs to fill almost everyone in. Chances are if they split the info into the four issues it should be similar to this:
September issue: Jaya and Skypiea
October: Davy Back, Water 7, maybe part of the CP9
November: the second part, if not, all of CP9 and thriller Bark.
December: Shadbony (spelling), Amazon LilyRemember, this is just a speculation.
-
WOOOOHOOO, I just read the news in ANN about the 6 month thing and I have to say thats the best news I have heard all year. Can't wait for it
-
Oh f*** yes!!!!!!
Oh thank you thank you whoever had the sense to do this!
I am so stoked, I'm totally going to start a One Piece fund to get ready for this and show my support for One Piece. The ironic thing is though that i found out about this speed up news on an AMerican comic book site and then came over :D
Anyways, the future looks bright for One Piece in America!

Hey Preston…out of curiosity...were you a member of One Piece Manga v2 on MSN by the name of "Preston_is_a_Town"? because if so, do you remember me? My name on OPMv2 is "CosmoKramer470"!

Yeah that was me, I sorta remember you! That place was pretty cool until they made certain jerkass people mods.
Oh also, I think I just saw you on the HeartGold gamefaqs forum, I'm Arkham Inmate on there.
-
Ahh awesome! Well we moved over to groupbox, this other site when MSN Groups closed…if you want, I can give you the link to join! I'm the manager now! Well the other current mods are Rottenhead77 (Goes by the name Rotten Samurai now), oxp, GrimTwin21589, and candy93cane if you remember them.
Haha yeah I go to the Heart Gold boards XD

Here's Viz's Press Release. Nothing we don't already know but they boast that the series has already sold over 177 millions copies in Japan.
-
HOLY MONKEY BALLS! IT'S ACTUALLY HAPPENING?! Oh man, joygasm here. The only way this can be better is if they revealed the volumes will be entirely uncut (including 4kids terms). If so, there'd be no hesitation in me buying. Hopefully my comic shop will get them, I know it has 21.
But if it's still Zolo and the whole crappy shabang… I'm actually not sure...
YES.
Viz just made the entire nation of fanboys poop their pants in happiness.Your avatar makes this post funnier. I remember like 2 years back tons of us unintentionally had avatars looking up at posts like yours and mine.
EDIT: Lulz, I did mathe. It'd be roughly $240 for these 30 volumes. Not counting tax, of course.
That's not all. In the January issue of Shonen Jump Magazine, we'll jump ahead those 30 volumes to the start of the Impel Down saga–a bold new storyline and a perfect time to launch into the One Piece manga.
Oh crap, didn't even know this part! I left off chapter 525, I've waited the entire length of Empel Down to not read, maybe I can hold off another half a year? It'll give me real reason to buy SJ every month like I do. I haven't read it, but I've of course have been spoiled. I wonder how they'll handle the whole Okama crap? Also, check it, volume 35 cover Usopp: http://onepiece.viz.com/characters/usopp.php

oh i saw that too and you sure do sound hyper lol

This post is deleted!

We need to contact a mod, this whole thing deserves a sticky at the top of the manga forum. Maybe manga leechers would decide to buy the volumes when they come out, further supporting OP in America.
