Nice. Fini's site fixed that issue with the video loading(as in seeing how much has already loaded before it buffers). Now I can start watching on their site again.

Yes, the video interaction seems to improve every week lately. So good for them.

Happy birthday >: D

Yeah.
I also noticed I can enable Adblock this time XD Even more cool points.
-
Lol, "Queers never die!" Classic.
-
I loved this one, from Bon & Straw chan's reunion to Koalas. Its a happy cliffhanger for 2009. Hopefully 2010 will start of with teh bangs, judging by the preview with Luffy & the Minotaur.
-
Great episode, just like last week.
We got to see Magellan's powers animated (Hydra, yah!) and Bon Clay came back into the scene. Nice animation, by the way.
My favorite part.
Hannyabal: I really want to be warden-I mean, it really hurts getting hit by the warden!Although, the inconstancy with Bon Clay (Last week was Okama, but now it's Oh Come My Way?) bugged me a bit, but whatever. Bon-chan got 100X more cooler with the way he owned the Blugoris and the Sphinx anyway.
Kazuya Nakai sure got his fill this week, with Saldeath and Zoro 2.
-
So it seems there will be a break next week for the holiday instead of a New Years special. Ah well. At least things really start to pick up in 2010.
-
Oh come my way?
That's gonna get even more stupid and confusing in the upcoming episodes, with its incresed use. Two thumbs down Funi. -
So did Toei use Okama Kempo? I'm assuming it wasn't actually "Oh Come My Way Kempo" because that would make even less sense, despite the translation. :blink:

Yeah that didn't make much sense.
-
It SOUNDS Like Toei had him say "Okama way" but told FUNi to put "Oh Come My Way" into the subs…...
Why did they let FUNi translate it as "Queer" normally, but not here...
It musta been some bullshit on their list... We already know FUNi translates it as "Crossdresser" Normally, they did in Movie 8... it'll be right on the DVDs, but just... ugh, Toei, why must you think you know what you're doing?...

Wouldn't Toei of all people want their series to be translated properly to other English-speaking viewers. Geez…
-

Why would you think that?
If they think that for some unforeseeable reason 'Oh Come My Way' will in some tiny way make more profit for them, that's what's it's going to be.
-
I thought we established that FUNi has nothing to do with these subtitles on the simulcast and its all up to Toei.
Alright let's see if Toei changed Bon Clay into "Ballerina" instead of "Okama" I don't think they would've used phrase "Okama Way". I'm sure along with the song "Oh Come My Way" sung by Mr. 2's voice actor, Oh Come My way was Toei's alternative to Okama.
Bon Clay is a huge stereotype that could offend real "Okama's" or "Crossdressers", but Toei only used Okama once for the 8th Movie.
FUNi from what I've heard from other people in the latest box set used "Ballerina" and "Dance My Way". Which I'm sure was a part of the script as I mention before.
-

Okay, but the point of that post was that I personally think it's stupid. I know there's nothing that can be done about it and Toei probably has their reasons, but that doesn't mean I have to agree with it.
-
Am I the only one that finds it particularly funny that the episode that Features Toei's meddling with censorship of "Okama Way" also happens to feature the word "Shit" more times than I think I've ever seen it in a FUNi sub… ever?

Well, it did fit the situation because Magellan DOES poop a lot. It wouldn't be as funny to say "C'mon, Damn Man! Let us have her!"
-

That's why they use the word "Kuso".
They could have put "Crap Man" XD
I have no problem with the cussing, I just think it's funny that Toei is so concerned about censorship of "Okama" when the word "Shit" appears so much.
-
I remember making a rage post over FH overusing the word shit when their scan of this chapter came out.
"You shitting piece of shit!"
-

Yeah, well, if I'm not mistaken, cussing isn't as culturally taboo in Japan as it is in America. I've heard "kuso" in Anpanman. :blink:
-
They say "shit" in the Dutch dubbed Totally Spies too. =P
-
At least here the cursing isn't entirely random when you have a floor of the world's most wanted criminals telling their warden with bad BM to go take a dump. :P
-
Well for the Funi subs, "Oh Come My Way," is the Okama Tempo, while Queen is the Okama's themselves. It's weird I know.

Yeah, but somehow "shitman" seems more insulting. I guess it means the same thing, but they must figure that someone in jail would use more vulgar language than that. And I doubt Toei gives two shits (pardon the obvious pun) on how much cursing is present in the subs, so long as they follow their precious little Ten Commandments on what supposedly makes a One Piece sub "better", as if a Japanese speaking person would know what an English person finds appealing. :/
Still, now that you mention it, every week the curse words seem to multiply. Does that mean that Funi is getting more comfortable, or that they just hired a new translator?
-
I think I missed something… the name they were calling him was geriyarou (something like that). While I don't know enough to tell what the most accurate way to translate that would be, they weren't saying kusou. Just a heads up.
-
Anyone knows how to watch the online episodes outside the US?

Sadly the only way is illegally. Chances are if you are looking for Funi's sub if you go on a anime streaming site it will just be a rip of Funi's sub any way
-
'geri' is the Japanese word for diarrhea, 'yarou' is the colloquial way of saying 'that guy' or 'that bastard' etc. So 'diarrhea guy' would probably be an approximate translation.
'Shit-man' is close enough I suppose. -

'Shit-man' is close enough I suppose.Shit-man, shit head, shit bastard… all of these work fine and get the rudeness across nicely. I suppose you could be creative and call him "Ass Squirt" or something, but there would be no need to, lol.
-
I should stop talking about things before I've seen the episode more than once… Wasn't paying attention when he said that, just assumed it was Kusoyarou XP
-
Just double checking, but there isn't a new episode tonight due to New Years, right? I don't recall one being scheduled.

Nope. Break this week.

The only thing Funi uploaded on the site tonight were more of the older episodes, which was Episodes 71 - 74.

Yup, there wasn't a new episode to upload.
I actually wasn't sure whether they were were going to go ahead and upload the older episodes or not. They're going at a faster rate than the beginning (4 episodes every week) and eventually they're inevitably going to catch up with the DVD releases. This seemed like a good week for them to have an excuse not to upload any old episodes, but I guess not.
Not that I'm complaining - I'm enjoying watching these episodes. I haven't been able to get any DVD's aside from Season One Fourth Voyage. :sad:
-
At the rate its going, there might be a chance the older episodes will surrpassed the the dvds sooner or later. So down the line we might have new episodes of the dub on the site before the dvd comes out.
-
I'm sad there wasn't a new episode this week since I can't wait to see more of Bon-chan –I was so excited last week my parents thought I was crazy when they heard me watching it-- but I was happy to watch 71, since I own none of the 2nd season other than voyage 3. I'm really glad to see they kept Dorry and Broggy's laughs, because that hasn't really been the case in the example of other chars. so far (Hiriluk, Croc, ex.) Plus I'm really liking Mr. 3's voice, it's nice to hear from VAs that are either new or those I've just never heard of before (or can easily recognize).
-
I don't think they will surpass the DVD releases, but it would kick ass if they did…
-
It'd be pretty cool, but uh… I think it'd effect the DVD sales quite a bit.
-
Really? Positively or negatively? Anyone who really wants to download the episodes, even dubbed can get them after the DVDs are released. Folks most likely them to support the company or own a physical product, I don't see them tapering off because of buggy streaming. I don't imagine the official streaming One Piece is all that popular either, even among One Piece fans.

thank you BT and RS pirates :ninja:
I noticed something new at youtube one piece uploads (the Japanese uploaders): instead of taking down the videos I am greeted with this message:
This video contains content from Funimation Entertainment, who has decided to block it.
Makes sense, however they should just block US viewers -
Unless Toei is giving them the go ahead to take care of things as well, which is very likely.

Most people don't think like that though.
Most people think like this "If I can see it for free, why buy it?".

@EvilGamerX:

Before FUNi got the actual rights to Slayers Revolution, the Japanese company asked them to do this very same thing. So, taking into consideration the fact that FUNi and Toei are going Steady these days, it's very likely this is the case.
But FUNi isn't actively going out and scouring YT, they auto-flag my videos the second I put them up now for some reason. I E-mailed FUNi to ask them if I could be unblocked (since I only upload short clips, and I advertise for them etc) and they told me the ball was all in YT's court, and they actually told me to try renaming the videos to mask them.
So, it's prolly YT's fault.

That's… surprising. So FUNi actually seems to not mind what we're doing, and it's Youtube causing all the trouble...
Now that I think about it, Sonny Straight was talking about the actual actors doing Youtube searches and reading the comments people write. That makes me feel good, tbh.

Well, this isn't really 100% pertaining to this topic, but it seems like the best place, so oh well:
It seems that Funi has the copyrights to Episode 401, but I do not see it on the site provided in the 1st post. Could anybody please direct me to it?

Their license to stream it is gone, I guess. They've removed a lot of those episodes from earlier.

Well, all right, thanks for the info.
