Unofficial Funi DVD discussions

Rightstuff must be later than normal due to the fact that it's been listed at 30 bucks for like 3 weeks now. A tn of people probably ordered them before I did. I still haven't gotten any word of mine yet.
-
Can someone tell me how to rip clips? If it's not too difficult, I might do it when I get the DVD. But don't get your hopes up, I'm a lazy person.

Download DVD Decrypter.
Then download a free encoding program.

On DVD? Every episode will be released subbed.

@Yuugi's:

yea on dvd… i have been worried they may stop then i would be stuck without all episodes which is my goal. i'd like to be able to go back to every single episode once one piece ends and rewatch them without going on the web
-
Rightstuff finally has me as reserved for order. It'll probably ship after the weekend though, or maybe on Sunday night.

Why would they stop adding subs to the DVD's. :wassat:

money…. if not enough people buy the dvds why would they keep wasting their time on the dvds only to lose more then they make
-
they'd BETTER not stop bringing out the sub version O_O I LOVE the dub, but I love the sub as well DX!!!
Also..this is the first time I've EVER ordered from Rightstuff, and am incredibly disappointed that my order hasn't seen the light of day, and for sure wasn't here weeks early like has been said before about them. I may go cancel it since I'm not in THAT big a hurry to get this boxset.j
EDIT
Okay..since this is my first time, how do I cancel something from Right stuff?? Especially since I didn't get this any earlier than I would have going through Amazon.com, I just don't wanna get it right now. So if you guys could help me out, that'd be awesome x_x;

Umm…you do realize it's a lot cheaper to just bring out anime with subtitles only, don't you?
Think about it. If they release a title that only has subs, then you only need to pay a small handful of people to do it. You mainly have to translate the Japanese scripts, then time the subtitles correctly. If you have a traditional dub, then it costs way more. Not only do you have to translate the scripts, you'd also have to re-translate them to fit into normal English dialogue. Then, you'd have to pay for voice actors to actually speak the roles, an ADR director to make sure the voice actors match the flaps correctly, another person/team to put the English script as its own subtitle track (like closed caption) and a multitude of other expenses that I can't think of because I am not in the anime industry.
Why else do you think a company like ADV is no longer putting out dubbed anime they license and sticking to only subs for now?
-
OK my account is being charged so it is being shipped even though my status is still reserved for your order.

Wait for RightStuf's site to update itself. It does it every few hours I think.
But yours is being shipped, anyway.

Oh, so it's being shipped if you've been charged. I thought it's not shipped until the email is sent to you. Thanks for the info.

When has a company ever stopped subbing an anime on DVD? I've never heard of such a thing. Besides, from what I can gather it seems Funi's OP is doing well so even by your logic it isn't plausible.

It's happened. The company that most of ADV's titles now belong to seems to be focusing on sub-only releases. There's a new company - Japanese owned, I believe - that is also doing sub only releases.
And yeah I'm under the impression OP is doing well - we've been getting more new merchandise so that's a good sign that the DVDs are selling well (or at least I would think so).
-
I'm relatively sure the DVDs have been selling well.
The only reason we would ever stop getting DVDs is if the sales took a severe nosedive, which IS possible, but I doubt it. One Piece has a huge customer base, I think they'll keep selling.

He said subbing… not dubbing.
This shouldn't even be something to worry about. You're worried about them... ceasing the subbbing? When in the hell has that ever happened? :wassat:
-
Well, I finally got shipping confirmation, and it looks like I'll receive it on the day it was set to be released, May 11. Perhaps I shouldn't have waited until April 16 to preorder, but I thought for sure there'd be a sale on time.
-
Considering that FUNimation actually create the subtitles first and then use them as the base for the dub's dialogue… it would be beyond ridiculous for them to release a DVD without subtitles. You know, since by the time the dub is made, the subtitles were necessarily already done.
-
Anyone bought from Playusa before, I was wondering how long it takes for stuff to arrive, they sent V7 a week ago and the site says delivery takes 3-5 days?
-
I also have shipping confirmation.
-
LOL, there isn't going to be a Funi One Piece without subs. They'll drop the dub before the sub.
-
Woot got my season 2 7th voyage today!!!
-
So, I received the Alabasta-sets a few days ago, and I noticed one thing that kinda bothers me… On the map-screen at the start of each episode, they put these sign-subs up for the different places on the map... But these subs are all just stuck at the top of the screen, with no indication of which subtitle goes to which place. I mean, it kinda worked at first, when there were only 4 places listed, but then later, the map suddenly has 9 markings on it, and the subtitles don't change one bit, still only translating those inital 4 spots, and at this point, it truly is impossible to tell what they're actually translating. Sure, this doesn't affect the story at all, but honestly, this just strikes me as really sloppy. It is perfectly possible to have the subtitles placed next to the sign they are translating, FUNi!
-
Everyone, if you want to order Season 2, Part 7 right now at Amazon. It's $32.99 right now.

When UI ordered Voyages 4 and 5 it took a bit more than a week. They came seperatley, though. I think a twp days after eachother (One came on Saturday and no mail on Sundays…)
-
Okay, I know I'm way late to the party on this, but I felt like I should comment anyway. In one of the Alabasta episodes, Bon Clay's Devil Fruit power is called a "Copy-Copy Montage," but in the next episode's narration his fruit is called the "Clone-Clone Fruit." Both are accurate translations, sure, but which is the one the dub is supposed to be using? Just asking out of curiosity.

Well, they usually go with "Clone-Clone". I don't know why they randomly switched to "Copy-Copy" for that one attack. (Or, actually it's rather obvious; A slip-up in the quality control. It's amazing how easily that kind of thing happens, really.)
-
Or they could have decided to switch things up just for the "Montage" attack, since that's the only time he says it that way.

Another price update on Amazon. One Piece Season 2, Part 7 is now. $31.49. And I'm not lying.

Why would you be lying? Dvd empire has it for 30.49 I think

And I'm president of the United-
Oh shit, you weren't kidding. So voyage seven beat the end of Alabasta in interest level in my country? Please excuse me while I go bang my head against the wall for a few hours.
-
The real scary feeling is what if Goat Sex Island set will surpass the King Piccolo set of Dragon Ball. Then hell will be frozen. Even through I did order Season 2, Part 7 from Amazon.

Probably pedo's ordering it solely off the cover art.
-
Maybe people are just tired of Alabasta being around so long.

I think my first interaction with arabasta was almost seven years ago.

Let people buy it. That just means the next canon voyage should do even better. When you think of it from a normal point of view the episodes on 7 aren't bad. Only when you think that they're not canon is when people it's bad.
-

Pedophiles like goats and old men?
-
The cover is a creepy old man gleefully chasing after children.
-
lol I never noticed that.
Why are 3 year old shitty DBZ season sets selling better than glorious Dragon Boxes?
-

Do you count Luffy and Usopp as children? I count them more as teenagers or young adults (As much as I hate the sound f that…). And Chopper is also 15 and an animal. More like Bestiality if you ask me :-/-
-
That's why the arc is named as it is(and I'd say all three of them have a mental age under choppers actual age).
lol I never noticed that.

probably a case of people not understanding whats on offer, or already feeling committed to the cruddy sets they already started buying.
-
T

So it's probably because of how nice and appealing the box art looks. Seriously, Chopper looks to effin cute in that cover to be ignored.

That's what zenny protested when the marines arrested him.

Still, so long as the DVDs are selling well, no one can complain, lol.
If it's cover arts that sell, next season should do better. Especially because it had TV exposure.
-

Probably because they're WAY cheaper, some may not know the difference between the Orange Bricks and the Dragon Boxes, and even some who do know better think the Dragon Boxes are overrated. And they are, but they're better than the Orange Bricks.
Anyway, good to see that the new set is selling well. I thought not many people would buy it.
-
I already have android and cell saga from orange bricks so i don't see the need to buy them over again just so i can have extra hair on my screen. Although I'll admit looking at 90% of a face on my screen when i know there is more tempts me into selling my orange bricks and waiting for that saga to come out again on dragon box.
I'll probably get the sayian saga and buu saga on dragon box since i only got cell saga on orange bricks. I can't bring myself to pay 60 bucks for a saga i already have on a slightly inferior dvd set that i bought for half that.
